Amazing games, in my top 10. Fantastic way to replay the games after you've already played them a few times each.

Didn’t really like the first one, I’ll wait for a sale.

Airship base? Count me in.

Nope. If they just made the remake of the old game, I’d buy it. But this, 5 part thing, spread out over years, buying and playing in parts… with bits cut out, nah. Do a remake or don’t. Not interested.

“Our eyes are our allies, yet oft do they betray, for eyes tell lies, so I advise, and thence do lead astray” so I’m guessing the riddles only make sense in game ?

I just don't think I can stomach any more JRPG storylines. After Xenoblade 3 and a bunch of Falcom games, I think I'm done for life. JRPGs have the absolute worst stories, characters and dialogue, I just can't any more. Just looking at the trailer I'm having flashbacks from over 25yrs of these, I can already tell you the plot, incoherent storyline and the same cookie cutter characters just from the trailer. I'm so done with these.

@SgtTruth Yep. I use to be a PC gamer in the late 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s. Upgrading every 8 months. It was a fun hobby for a kid. But it’s so nice now being able to buy one machine and still be blown away by graphics years later. I recently started playing Hogwarts in Fidelity mode and it’s absolutely amazing looking. But yeah, it’s annoying PC gamers make out like a low end PC is equivalent.

lol yeah almost 4 years ago "PS5 is just a low end PC, buy a low end PC instead" Like to see a 4yr old low end PC play FF16 in 4k 30fps in quality mode.

lol almost feel sorry for them. 'yeah, we're happy to not have our game on the largest selling next gen console. Makes financial sense"

Forespoken would be #5 on the list for me.

Gonna sell the switch lite I have sitting in a cupboard and get one. Will be good for bed or laying on the couch:)

"Starfield didn't sell as well as we hoped and now we want Playstation gamers to buy our games" ?

@MasterPlayerOne I have a iPhone 13 mini (love it) but the screen is too small for games, so a Backbone won't suit me (and others) and they're $180AUD anyway. I actually found the OLED switch screen too small for some games. Plus, I want to be able to still use my phone while gaming (apps, streaming podcasts while I play, txt, socials, looking at game guides, calls etc) so using my phone, even if it was lager, wouldn't suit. As a working adult, $199USD isn't anything to get upset about, for me. Less than half the price of the cheapest iPad here in Aus.

@Titntin lol. The dudes angry because his tablet can watch Netflix and display an ebook and he's comparing it to a handheld gaming device. Don't tell him about smart phones or kindles, he'll lose his mind.

@Constable_What I have my PS5 wired into my router and upgraded it to a WiFi6 router, I tested Remote play on my MacBook Pro a few days ago and it worked great. Every other time I've tried in the past, there's be a noticeable lag. But this time I didn't notice it (it'll be there, but must be in the very low ms range). Not sure where "it really does suck" comes from?

I only ever played my Switch in handheld mode, and at home, so this'll be great for me. I find some games player better on a handheld. Something like FF16 (amazing game) is fantastic on the big OLED. But something like the new Harvest Moon game, playing rugged up in bed on a cold night playing on hand held is perfect. The Switch is so underpowered, and the screen so small, there's very few games that play well (IMHO). A handheld with PS5 graphics is gonna be pretty cool. Just a shame it's not releasing in Australia!!

Keen to try Callisto.

Nah, already finished it. Not going to waste time playing it again just because of a patch. Wasn’t that good to begin with honestly. And I found Silverhand to be annoying AF.

Well that’s a shame. Was looking forward to it, damn. Will wait for a 50% off sale.

Also, I thought The Ascent was downhill after the first excellent opening mission :/

Every time I've ever used a remote play device, the lag has always been the killer. No matter how many people say how "this time" it's not, it always is.

Proper support for Bluetooth headsets (mic support) would be bloody long overdue. I bought a set of WH-1000XM5 only to find I couldn’t use them as a gaming headset with the PS5. Disappointed. Such a Sony thing. SMH.

If we can get 4k, 60fps in quality mode with RT, I'll be all over this.

Honestly, I'm over COD. Looking forward to seeing what Marathon has to offer.

About time, great to see, Sony!

That’s a good point about the Russian citizens, I hadn’t considered that. It is unfair for them, they don’t really seem to have any say in what is decided for them, even though they’re a democracy, Putin and his oligarchy have been running the place for 20+ years now.

Yep, I’d hate to have the same thing happen to us.

And yeah, good chat! Glad we bumped into each other! Have a fantastic day!

10/10. Right up there with my all time favs, TLOU1/2, Elden Ring, Deus Ex, System Shock, Quake 2, NMH3.

@Loamy Hi! Only COD I’ve played is the recent one & Vanguard (and the beta of black ops 2 I think it was). I wasn’t concerned so much with propaganda, just $$ flowing into Russia via video games when they’re being sanctioned for their war crimes. Out of Iraq and Afghan, Afghan did have a legitimate reason (training camps and bin larden). The Iraq war was a lie (they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction) but at the end of the day, getting rid of Saddam was a good thing. Neither are anything like what they’re doing in Ukraine. Anyway, let’s not political! It was just my 2c.

No issues myself, I’ve seen the state of some peoples PS5s, full of dust, bugs and crap.

A bit silly. So you’re saying there’ll never be a patch for the game? If there is, then that breaks your reason for digital only. Say the real reason, you’re expecting mid to low sales and you’re saving on costs of producing physical.

It was okay, I wanted to like it more, but got bored after finishing the first building, the open world spams you with respawning monsters so that drew tiresome quick. The plot was obvious from the start and the dialogue was wonky. The art style was nice. And yeah, I felt a bit dirty playing a Russian made game while the country is blowing up schools and hospitals. Not to get political, but they are doing those things so it’s hard to separate that reality.

It’s what MS does. They buy or steal their way in. Disk Defrag, Os/2 IBM, Nokia, Word Perfect, Novell, forcing OEMs to install windows etc. They’re never gotten where they are because have the best products. “Free hand of the market” only works when it’s a level playing field, which is pretty much never.

“So we’re going to buy all the big developers to force people to buy our console”

Postal service is taking forever to ship it to me. Started Death Stranding while I wait. Wow the graphics and the crazy story!

Actually have no idea who any of those are. Money well spent Sony.

Remember when Push Square only gave this a 6? Lol.

Interesting. Same negatives as Forspoken but gets an 8.

@Mikey856 I did have a little chuckle. Only because I’ve heard so much from Xbox fans about how Japan is going to switch to Xbox because Sony doesn’t care about the Japanese market anymore.

Wait so it’s the only none Switch game on the list, and it’s a flop?

I tried the free to play Destiny 2 from the store. It started the same way as Destiny 1 - is that correct? D2 is more of an addon than a new game? I was confused as I had already played D1 back when it came out.

Yeah good luck with that in the current political climate lol.

8.5 easy. People are being overly critical. Had a blast with it. I’m at the final battle after 36hrs and I still have massive chunks of the map to explore post game. If you play this and think it’s a 6 or below, you need your head checked.

Is there a PS5 version in the works?

@awp69 oh man you’re in for a treat. TLoU2 was something special.

Replayed the Forspoken demo and totally blown away. I took the time to read and figure out the magic mechanic and it’s so good. It’s so fluid! I had to force myself to stop playing and as I don’t want to spoil anything or get burnt out clearing things in the demo before the game comes out. 180 from the last demo. Can’t wait! Some of the banter is actually hilarious as well.

So at the moment switching between the new Fire Emblem and my first devil my cry game (ps5 vs of #5) really good combat but Forspoken definitely an upgrade in fluidity and more satisfying. I can not freaking wait for Forspoken!

I’ll absolutely give the demo another go. The HDR issues and frame rate turned me off. Fingers crossed!

I was keen. But honestly, none of the games look worth it. For the price, I’m going to need to see a list of good games (and not just mini games or one trick games). I heard the VR Half Life game is good, but I’m not dropping the cash they’re asking for, for 1 or 2 games.

And again, honestly, hearing Palmer liking (and seemed to get special access to it), kinda puts me off it even more.

Nothing on that list. The next Final Fantasy and the System Shock remake is about it

Gotta say, so over weird mutant looking anime people. Starting to see this a lot now. Anime style seems to be a bit hit and miss when moving to realistic 3D?

I got to some castle in the snow with three jumping lion things and got smashed. After 160hrs I had enough. Great game tho haha.
