I reckon the negative options are being picked by a bunch of people who don't have a Pro. If you didn't put that last option there would be serious review bombing.
Got it on release and last few months been thinking about emulating it on my Deck. So if there's going to be a remaster they better hurry up and announce it.
The first game was close to greatness and with experience and a bigger budget the sequel can be a GOTY game. The combat was the worst part but they are improving it. No more fighting the camera or high RNG chance of ripostes/master strikes.
By the way there is an error in the article. Skalitz is misspelled.
Shadow of the Erdtree deserves recognition because it's a callback to when actual expansions existed. Not lazy season pass nonsense. From never go halves on their expansions and this is the biggest one yet.
I mean it's actually a bigger game than Tears of the Kingdom and that was an award favourite.
People won't play a game if the characters look as bad as they did in Concord. I guess Miller has no knowledge of videogames but he still should have realised how untalented the artists were.
"Well-known Trophy hunter Hakoom" Never heard of him.
Also these people with the highest ranks are playing rubbish games, children's games, auto popping ps4 to ps5, and buying those click for trophy games. Not impressive at all.
Oh my god the Pro whining is incessant. This is also about a new difficulty. Of course they're going to report it like literally any other game update. This is less about people highlighting something and more about people wanting everyone to know how great they are for not buying the Pro. Which isn't even aimed at them to begin with.
@Fiendish-Beaver how are people still whining about the Pro. Please just stop going on about the price. Stop reducing the improvement to unfounded 'little bit better'. I have one and it's not merely a little bit better. You don't have one so just move on already.
And this game like any based off a visual medium would be better as third person. It's weird shifting to first person when you're using to seeing the character from the other perspective.
@Rich33 yea mine is a launch ps5. I was able to transfer what I needed via backup and restore so it's all good now, just took a couple of hours.
I'd recommend doing the save sync after if you're going that route as the restore wipes everything on your internal drive except the system updates and your account.
Fwiw I had 110gb of media but I saw a YouTube video where the guy had about 100gb and the please wait phase was almost instant
@Mostik decided to use backup and restore for the capture gallery instead and use sync download for my saves. Backup was stuck on the initial "please wait" for ages and took 7 mins to start the backup after confirming so I reckon the old PS5 is what kept breaking the data transfer.
@Mostik I've tried like 5 times and reset the router. Both on the same wifi band. It's mad how such a simple task fails. I can use ps store and save data sync so it's not being blocked. My last resort left is to check firewalls.
I reckon the 45% is more for first party games patched for the Pro...oh wait we are still whinging about the perfectly understandable price? Oh ok back to beating that dead horse.
Considering the original was on PS2 this isn't hard to believe. Had a lot of good memories playing that. I'm more interested in AoM this time around since it wasn't on playstation and I had to play the original version on PC.
Haven't played since the early days (only paid a euro i think?) But I can see how well Contra would work here. MGS would work too. He definitely could have charged a bit more after the first popularity push and I wouldn't be mad. He earned it.
ME is on life support after Andromeda they need to go all in. I reckon the feedback from Andromeda and Veilguard will affect the writing direction among other things.
I hear this has the ME3 priming-detonating mechanic so it's disappointing to know there are no hybrid classes. This feels like DA2 all over again.
Also had the idea of a close range mage that nobody ever really does in RPGs. Imagine a mage that fights like an assassin but fires off magic in their combos.
The appeal of Mechwarrior was always the slow lumbering combat. It felt weighty and realistic like they should be. I always wanted this to be the prime mecha series for that reason. I say this as a long term fan of AC.
This is a short and what seems to be an out of touch review from a reviewer I've not noticed before. Is he new? The reviewer is getting ragged on in the comments section too by people who know the series better

Thanks to Chiaki I already do have one. I often remote play my PS5 on my Deck when I'm out or abroad.

Re: STALKER 2's Technical Troubles Likely Fixed by the Time It Comes to PS5
The original trilogy was rough on launch too. I think Clear Sky was even broken for a while.
Re: Rumour: FromSoftware Classic Getting the Remaster Treatment
This should aggravate everyone. Seriously they can't even drop an upgrade patch.
Re: Capcom Strategy Game Kunitsu-Gami Fails to Meet Sales Targets
Bad marketing. Sega level really. But they will do anything except remake Dino Crisis which would print money.

Re: PS Store Makes Launch Day Easy with Dedicated PS5 Pro Category
Can't understand why they don't add a filter. Would be nice to filter sales by Pro enhanced tag.
Re: 'Mind Boggling' Horizon Forbidden West Has the Best Console Image Quality Ever on PS5 Pro
@Dampsponge because that's the most relevant comparison. Pro is a better deal if you're a performance mode main.

Re: Official List of PS5 Pro Launch Games Revealed by Sony
@ThunderFunk hopefully they are added later. I just want Prey to get a 60fps patch which seemed impossible for years due to MS owning the developer.
Re: Interview: Metal Gear Would Be 'Too Much Pressure' for Vampire Survivors Maker

Remaster Origins ultimate edition with none of that modern audience nonsense. Just a 1:1 with performance improvements.

I don't care at all about Halo. It was good but after 3 it went downhill. Gears of War 1-3 was the only exclusives I wanted ported.
