I just find it odd to take these very seriously. Usually I wait for an update the next day. See what's announced and simple look further into whatever may interest me.
To compare announcements and presentation pacing etc with each other, though I get some can be more 'exciting' than others in terms of what's announced, is stills strange to me.
The gore, and violence is a major part of the appeal for me personally, especially in a wolverine game, but I'm glad they've included and accessibility feature to dial it down for those who prefer that.. Win win.
PS5 perception sinks to an all time low? Really? I honestly find it bizzare. As much as I like gaming, people need to calm down and stop taking a gaming console so seriously in their lives.
@Foxhound The amount of people who also can't grasp that some people simply don't care is also embarrassing.. Personally I couldn't give a toss about it. I'll play it, and in 15 years I'd have moved on with good memories and will be playing something else.
Not everyone is hellbent on preserving a damn video game. Some people value other things in life when it comes to preservation.
Each to their own. If you want to fight for preserving a game for the rest of your life, more power to you. But no need to project that on everyone mate.
Absolutely loved uncharted 4, as much as the previous entries. Hope to see it return in future, sticking to it's roots and not going woke. Male lead, straight up action adventure with great set pieces and cinematics.
I have so many amazing memories of this on the 360. Spent countless hours with friends. Good times. Life now is just too busy to get into the new one :'(
@Retron I wouldn't bet on it. Just cause those guys have an unlimited budget and a high expectation to deliver.
GTA5 to this day is amongst the best selling game over 10 years on, it'll keep funding the project, and they're in no real rush to get it out. But we'll have to wait and see.
It's nice to be excited for a new game, to want it day one, but, I'm comfortably in the camp of those who don't mind waiting for large complex games to get patched up, especially seeing as patch work post release has become a common approach.
I don't need to moan. I can just wait several months, get on with life, and dive in when it's fully patched and improved upon. Simple really.
@Fillem I hope we can just get over this whole 'near perfect games release' expectation, not because I think it's wrong or an unreasonable position to hold, just because it's gets boring reading the same thing over and over, for me at least.
We're in a time where this has been happening for a while, and will absolutely continue to happen, with some cases being worse than others. What's good is the devs who actively listen to feedback and continue to improve, rather than release and forget it.
Crying or getting upset over it serves no one. People can choose to answer with their wallets, which may be the best form of protest for those who care about it. Otherwise, I feel it's better to just get over and accept. If you like it, buy it, if not move along with life.
Absolutely love Uncharted series, it should never have ended. I hope Drake returns, or any other male lead with a fresh story but keeping the core gameplay/theme. Just hope it's not a female protagonist, or it's a no buy for me.
Blame Israel and America for causing chaos around the globe, for decades now really. The average you and I must pay the price for western Epstein regime class of fools running the world
Seems like the author is projecting. Lack of trophies is not an issue for most, anecdotally speaking. Just play the damn game, and stop obsessing about it.. But, yes, like all things, it's a subjective matter, even then, very petty 'frustration' in the grand scheme of gaming
We may not have seen these, if pokemon actually inovated instead of adding the most basic of features with each new generation.. I hope these 'knock-offs' grow into great games within this genre and leave pokemon in the dust, or perhaps the competition will make them pull the fingers out and improve their games.
I 'feel' the PS6 will cost £550-£600, even if that's at a loss in the short term. Given all he issue around the world, that seems a reasonable guess. Anything more is a big risk. Definitely don't feel £700+ like some are guessing.
Uncharted is the type of game that'll alway sell.. The possibilities in terms of story, location etc are endless. We should have an uncharted every generation.
@spikes91 Nupe... Those days are gone unfortunately. I can barely finish a film in one sitting, so a game which I'm expecting would potentially take 25+ hours isn't as easy. Downtime is rare with a demanding career, and family
Ah damn, got my dates mixed up. Meh, either way, will wait for GTA6 instead of picking this up and trying to rush through it, especially with the limited time I have to play. Unless we have another GTA6 delay of course.
Stuff like this is precisely why I sold my Series X, even though I considered it a better piece of hardware. These guys are all over the floor and seem clueless with who and what they are or want to become. It really didn't have to be this complicated.
PlayStation is just way more simple, and I hope they remain like this. A good console, and a good bunch of games to pass some free time. That is all I need.
I'd be happy with a delay, and share the many reasons already mentioned in the comments. In fact, if I could get a concrete release date for the PS6, I'd be enticed to buy the PS5 Pro, so long as it's at least 2-3 years away.
@sanderson72 Except is not like the MS analogy you gave, because the PS5 is objectively a better console and experience over the PS4, even if it falls short of your expectations.
Personally, I don't understand why someone would want to remain on the PS4 if they have the financial means to upgrade. Difficult to believe people cannot save a little in all these years the PS5 has been out. But everyone's situation is different I guess, and some people will always remain a generation behind the current better experience.
The 30 fps was difficult to adjust to. The first few hours felt boring, and the whole gameplay/experience felt like a chore. I couldn't get past 4-5 hours. It kinda felt dated even though it was new.

Don't care if they use it, and nope, don't think they need to announce the tools they use to make games either.
The end product is all that matters to me.

Gutted. Absolutely loved Gears of war games on my xbox. Was hoping it would come to PS5 but I understand

PS5 is fine. You will be fine too.
Re: PlayStation's AI Push Raises a Bigger Question: Where Do You Draw the Line?
Fully support AI and it's use.
If it means better quality, more advanced features and games being delivered with more consistency and quicker, then yes please.
I don't give a damn who or what tools are used to make a game, so long as the end product is enjoyable for me, that's all I care about.
Re: Lifelong Bethesda Fan Finally Answers: Does Starfield Actually Suck?
Don't understand what being a Bethesda fan has to do with liking a game they make or not, surely we just judge the actual game?
I absolutely love Witcher 3, but I do not enjoy Cyberpunk punk, despite it's amazing updates.
I can admit it's a great game, but not for me.
Can't see how being a CDProjekt fan or not would change my judgment.

@The_ghostmen Exactly. These guys have selective outrage only. Very inconsistent. They'd keep quiet and buy the game if they had actual interest.

Re: Your Latest Look at Forza Horizon 6 Is So Tame It'd Put Your Driving Instructor to Sleep
I know we just saw a small portion, but, the Japan as a location is looking pretty dull to me.
FH5 map was so vibrant, and had a great variety of biomes, that I feel Japan may lack.
I want this to be good, but time will tell I guess.
