@nessisonett I think both Jedi games are quite solid, and the technical stuff wasn't so off-putting as to... put me off of them.

The Metroidvania platforming elements are nicely combined with your traversal powers and it's fun getting around and solving environmental puzzles.

I could definitely go for a third, so I'm hoping for it.

We've had four generations of Sony giving us awesome games, but they're pooping the bed with PS5. In my opinion (and maybe others feel the way I do) state of gaming across the board is absolutely appalling.

There is not one game - not one - that I can say I'm looking forward to or excited about. Nothing on the horizon that looks cool, interesting, epic, thoughtful - nothing.

Don't worry though, they're remastering Days Gone! -facedesk-

Gaming needs a renaissance, and quickly.

Sony stinks now.

If any game doesn't need a remaster - it's this. Days Gone was updated for PS5 consoles and looks incredible on anything you run it on.

Yeah, Sony's lost the plot. So, so, sad what's happening to gaming.

Because of course they did.

Nobody wanted Resistance - they wanted Concord.

@Phelaidar Hope: They will see that they've failed and use that failure as a lesson.

Reality: They fail again and it's more disastrous than the previous failure.

The video games industry:

Doing EVERYTHING except what the customers want.

Let Sony crash and burn.

Mine is arriving to today, so I'm pleasantly surprised given the fact that I preordered it from PSDirect just a few days ago.

Had an Amazon preorder that I cancelled.

Anyway, can't wait.

Layla Hassan and the modern narrative aren't intimidating - they are downright boring.

@Judal27 We've been bamboozled, hoodwinked!

@ShogunRok My comment wasn't intended to impugn your review - in fact I haven't read it or watched the video. I was simply speaking to the general atmosphere of positivity among the mainstream review community, which seems to be at good odds with what early-access reviewers and trusted YouTubers have reported.

That said, I will check out your review after posting this.

Something feels off about these reviews.

I'm going to wait and see what the player consensus is. Fextralife's "The TRUTH about Dragon Age Veilguard" video was very eye opening and I'm going to wait for his review and others before jumping in.

I can't bring myself to play Spider-Man 2 more than 5-7 minutes without the desire to turn it off and play something else. This is especially disappointing because I played through both Spider-Man and Spider-Man Miles Morales twice.

At this point I'm a bit worn out on the gameplay and I find the writing and themes of "social justice" to be tiresome and boring.

Maybe one day I'll be able to complete it.

I own it, but I'm going to wait for Pro support to play it. Meanwhile, I have a pretty good pile of games to play.

Gave in and preordered the Pro on Amazon this morning. Will begin FF Rebirth as soon as it arrives.

@Korgon I really enjoyed Unity's co-op mode as well and the game as a whole is one of my favorite ACs to date.

As for AC: Shadows I'm still firmly in the 'we'll see' column, but I'd love to love this game. I've platinumed every main AC game to date with the exception of Black Flag (due to the multiplayer) and I'd like to continue the tradition.

@Jebeye I found the tankiness and pure size of Yasuke to be comical as well.

This giant 'outsider' leisurely walking around decimating the smaller Japanese folk looked absolutely silly.

@DennisReynolds Slow down there with the rolley eyes, smarty. I'm talking about race swapping in general. Also, the other poster is correct about Ubisoft having a Japanese man set as the protagonist before the current one.

@DennisReynolds I would argue that hate is the reason behind race swapping characters in the first place - not inclusion. It's hate under the guise of inclusivity and tolerance.

@ThaBEN I enjoyed Freedom Cry; don't remember much of it. So long ago. Wish they'd remake Black Flag.

@jrt87

LMAO @ this whole take.

You are absolutely spot on with all of it.

@jrt87

The graphics and presentation were absolutely next-level, but I didn't much care for the so-so story.

Really didn't love the missions that required melee combos.

So far, in the U.S, (from what I've observed) the PS5 Pro has been continuously available since it was made available for pre-order.

I don't think this console will ever be hard to acquire for those who want one.

@CyborgToaster Right.

For me, it's not so much the $700.00 as it is the value proposition - what you're getting for that $700.00.

Were this the PS6, honestly, I'd preorder it with no hesitation. But, as far as PS5 Pro goes, I have not seen a single piece of footage, screenshot, or side-by-side comparison that made me think 'wow, that's an upgrade.' I thought Cerny's presentation was underwhelming and fell completely flat in this regard.

I'm just not sold as of now.

@frankmcma It'll likely be easy to pre-order and then find after launch. Though popular, this isn't the PS6.

I suspect Sony has plenty of these consoles ready in anticipation of high demand.

Not a fan of Hermen Hulst's leadership.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the terrible UI lag I've been experiencing of late.

@JB_Whiting No, not really. That's not the point.

The point is that it changes the original work to placate someone and cater to their views. That shouldn't happen.

Remaster the visuals and refine what needs refining technically, but removing gameplay goes too far.

@DeepEyes This is indeed censorship and it only gets worse the more people excuse it.

Allowing the censoring of 'small' detail opens the door to larger, more troubling censorship.

Sony's going downhill.

@nessisonett Agreed.

Again, we've seen nothing, game-wise, within the realm of that EPIC demo we saw before the generation began. That was what we were told our PS5's were capable of, and it was heavily implied that we'd one day get that on our PS5's. Hasn't come close to happening, and now they're trying to sell us a $700.00 PS5 Pro for semi-moderate to moderate resolution and framerate gains?

Thanks, Sony, I guess.

That EPIC presentation for PS5 hasn't even come close to being realized and yet they're releasing a PS5 Pro.

If I don't see something equal to what was shown with that EPIC presentation on a standard PS5, then to me, this will read like overpromised, power-of-the-cloud nonsense by Sony.

I'm sorry, but that's what it looks like.

Mark Cerny's 'magic' just doesn't fly here.

Trying to talk up resolution and framerate gains with side-by-sides of The Last of Us Part II, R&C just fell flat for me, and I'm sure many others.

I'm not saying it's not worth its price and that it doesn't have value, but how bland was that demonstration with Cerny? He just couldn't lift the PS5 Pro high enough.

Lol.

I'm so glad they didn't go with "Power Station."

I've had it preordered for weeks and I can't wait to get into it. The pre-installed AstroBot still makes the best case for the DualSense, so I'm looking forward to seeing if this lives up to or surpasses that.

These games are a celebration of gaming - specifically PlayStation gaming.

Bring it on.

I'm having fun watching this crash and burn. When will they learn?

It's a beautiful game with an engaging story and great combat. I plan on reading the source material upon completion.

As of now I'm a 9. Could go higher or lower, but I really don't see it going lower.

Just a great game.

This has so much potential and already looks fantastic presentation-wise. I don't think I've played an Indiana Jones game since the NES.

One glance was enough to turn me off. No, it's just not for me.
