The review is a re-publish. When I played it, which was, I don't know... maybe a year after release, it was running quite smoothly. I don't remember any issues with it by that point.
I have had a love/hate relationship with Assassins Creed. I liked AC1, in spite of its limitations. AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations, though superior to AC1 on a technical level, just didnāt appeal to me as much. I lost interest in the series during AC3. I didnāt play Black Flag until some time after its release, but it quickly became my favourite. I didnāt like Rogue at the time, but in the years since, I have grown to appreciate it. By the time that I got around to Unity, it was in a playable condition. Syndicate, like Black Flag, quickly became one of my favourite AC games. Origins, I never finished. I didnāt like the forced gear score, and I guess I lost interest. I havenāt played Odyssey or Valhalla.
If they take it down, can you still play it, or is it removed from your console? I'm on Essential, for the cloud storage more than anything. If there was an even cheaper tier than Essential, that was just cloud storage, I would go for that instead.
It makes no difference to me. I still buy disks. I only subscribe to Essential for (mainly), the added storage and free monthly games to use as a trial run of a game I might be unsure of. There's also online multiplayer, but I find more and more games I am gravitating towards, are singleplayer games.
It goes without saying, but don't buy from CEX. They are selling them for £535, and that's without any games. As if going into their store, and having your nasal cavity hit buy the scene of Eu Du BO, wasn't bad enough, they try to gouge shoppers. £535 for a console, that is in a poorer condition than what CEX would accept.
I enjoyed The Council, and will pick this one up too, in time, when the price drops. It's ridiculous that a new PS4 game, at this stage in its life, costs as much as it does.
I have to disagree what what others have said. Itās easy to say āscrew last genā, when you have been lucky enough to get a PS5. I donāt think the PS4 should be abandoned yet, at least unles the supply issue is no longer a thing.
IllFonic? The cack-handed way that they handled Friday The 13th (it was never in a place where it was a smooth experience), makes me extremely hesitant about this.
I canāt imagine being in the mindset of someone that would negatively review game they havenāt played, as if they had. Probably some console wars b.s. again.
I have my (PS4) copy ready, I just want to finish off my replay of Horizon: Zero Dawn first.
Typical internet logic. āI have a PS5, so everyone else must now abandon their PS4.ā
I donāt have a PS5, my PS4 is still going strong, I still have a backlog of PS4 games to get through, and lastly, I am not going to pay some scalping p.o.s to get my hands on a PS5.
And as another poster said, if my PS4 dies, and I want to continue gaming, my only option is to get another PS4, due to the lack of stock of PS5s.
@jgrangervikings1 The online community for Sniper Elite V2 Remastered, is already dead, as fall as I can tell. At least I can find any matches of any mode to join. I don't have that trouble with Sniper Elite 4, though.
I understand that there are benefits to digital media. But I just wouldn't feel like I owned it. I like opening upo my storage boxes, and seeing my game collection boxed away. And that I might have game with are now rarer than hens teeth to find.
I've enjoyed the previous games, Crimes & Punishments is my favourite, but even The Devils Daughter isn't bad as it's made out to be. I'm a little unsure about this one, but i'll grab a copy all the same.
I bet they would find a way for full support reaching back to the PS1, if they could charge money for each game. I am not concerned about PS1 bc, because I don't have any PS1 games anymore. But I do have a decent library of PS2 and PS3 games that I would like to play on the PS4.
Setting aside the obvious issue, this sounds dreadful. And that photo needs more diversity. It needs a vertically challenged person of no specified gender. Yay representation!
How is it that people hate the films because they're "not Resident Evil", yet this somehow is? I'll pass on this, and won't labour the point.
Look, I am all for waiting for the final product to make a judgement. That said, this simply just doesn't sound like what they should be doing with Fisher, and now makes me wish that we never see him in a game. It's almost as if the idea of a mainly single player game oozing with stealth, is now somehow anathema to them.
I honestly don't think the one on the left is an improvement over Zero Dawn. In the comparison article posted a few days ago, I thoght the Forbidden West Aloy looked like a step backwards.
I have not though to moving onto the new generation, and won't until later this year at the earliest. But this must be a long wait for those wanting to do so now.
If you want people to buy your game at full price, then don't try to sell them a buggy mess.
The idea of patches fixing a game (sold at full price) after release, is the thing I hate most about the modern gaming industry. How about going back to the days when games were delayed if they weren't ready for release?

Make COD XBox exclusive for all I care. I have played my share of COD, I can survive just well without playing another one.

Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Leak Confirms First Expansion's Setting, Characters, and More
DLC, as in content cut from the game, just so it could be sold as an add on?
I want to give this a try, but I want to make sure that is in a playable state, that, or the price drops drastically sub £20. Whichever comes first.
Re: Looks Like Sony Will Stop Making PS4 Games by 2025
Nudging players towards current gen is fine, if they are going to step up production of PS5's hitting the market.

Itās easy to say screw the PS4, when you were lucky enough to get a PS5.
