Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Red Is Starting to Sound a Lot Like Valhalla

@Jayslow 100%. Valhalla sucked mainly because the setting was drab and boring to me. The equipment was mostly stupid looking, leathers and cloth and running around looking like you are wearing 10 fabric coats at the same time. This has potential to have badass weapons and armor and a great setting. I probably won't finish it, but will get a good 50 hours of fun in before I move to the next game and that's just fine to me. I'm hoping the main character is quick and nimble amd can flip over *****.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2023?

@Ward_ting Yeah I shut off my renewal. Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I'm about done with Playstation due to their lack of consumer friendly service. Poor support if you have issues with anything, no refunds, and now a price hike on the service, it was just the final straw for me. I'm heading to PC at last. Now all the big games get released on PC eventually so not really missing out on much.

@Vega37 Disagree. I don't buy $70 games. That has made me stop buying those games day 1. After the initial fomo wears off, it's easier to wait. And then games like Horizon FW or Ratchet and Clank that I would have bought in the past, they were on PS plus. They lost $120 just off those 2 games from me. Maybe they make it up on the extra 10 bucks off of everyone else and I'm a rare case, I don't know. But the price hike was a wake up call for me on how much money I was spending just to play a game on release that was inferior in a lot of cases to the game you get months or a year later.

My brother moved to game fly after the hike. So there is another example. I just wonder if the hike is really helping the bottom line. How many more me's are out there?

@cassiel Yes, I have reinstalled the game at Square Enix's request and the same thing is happening. Now they want me to rebuild the database on the PS5. I'm dubious whether this will work but I am going to try it anyways. I am using Performande mode, which is supposed to be less strenuous than the graphics mode, but I will try graphics to see if there is still problems.

@my_dude I don't believe it is a PS5 issue as every other game works perfect. Never had an overheating message and again this happens sometimes when cold booting the game, so it's not overheating. I even checked the vents and its super clean. Square Enix support did say there are other users reporting these issues but it seems the number is very small. Thanks for the well wishes.

I play on performance mode and the game crashes constantly. It has nothing to do with overheating as it happens right after booting the game up sometimes. Last night was the final straw, I can't even complete a battle.

Contacted Square enix support and I've tried all the usual stuff except rebuilding the database. So I'll be doing that this evening I guess. Pretty disappointed, it seems like only a very small amount of users are being impacted by this.
