Looks good, but why is the dialogue so awful? I get Demon’s Souls being that way because it’s old (a remake), but I see no reason why a modern game’s characters should sound so stilted and horrible. Still, I’m intrigued. I’m not sure I’ll like it though because DS got boring/annoying real fast for me.

This isn't my usually style of game either, but I can't put it down. Even R&C has become my "other" game while I continue to play Returnal (chasing the Platinum, which I usually don't care about at all).

I have limited play time (1 or 2 hours a day) and I'm not particularly good at this type of game (I bailed on Demon's Souls as it just irritated me), but even I've beaten Returnal a few times now. I still play it regularly. It's fun. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you're missing out if the idea of the difficulty is putting you off playing it. It just takes practice. I regularly play for hours at a time now before a death (often putting the system in rest mode during my runs).

I had one instance of a lost save due to a power outage while collecting the sunface fragments, but it was my fault. I have a battery backup for my entertainment center and I should have just shut the game and system down properly so that it would save, but I forgot to. Battery ran out, and there went the day's progress.

No biggie though as I was able to collect them again the following day.

I finally rolled credits on Returnal today (yes, I realize there's more to do, but I'm still happy). I think that's enough super challenging game for me for a bit, LOL. I'll likely give this a shot someday, though.

@Constable_What - I remember one in my first hour of play on release day (that was maybe just part of the tutorial?) Haven't seen one since.

I bailed on Demon's Souls. I found it to be very frustrating. Returnal is much more fun to play, so even though I'm having a difficult time with it, I keep pressing on. I've made it as far as the sixth biome, but I haven't been able to get to the final boss yet. Considering how difficult it was when I started, I'm pretty proud of myself for making it this far, especially as I don't have the time to put into it as many other gamers seem to. Regardless of how difficult I find it, I don't get too frustrated because it's still a blast and controls beautifully. Usually if I die, I know it was my fault 😆

I finally made it to the fifth biome after an incredible run (for me) where I beat the third and fourth bosses in the same run (i.e. both on the first try). I also stayed up until 4AM to do so. I'm not always on vacation, so either a "Save and Quit" or "Bookmark" option would be welcomed by me. I'll keep playing without it (the game is great!) but it'd definitely improve things, IMO.

I've made it to the fifth biome in Returnal, so I'm just going to keep on keeping on.

I might kind of suck at it (stuck on the second boss), but it's a blast to play.

Update: I beat him today! Then I promptly died 😆

I've only had one issue (the door glitch) but it was early in a run and not a big deal. I finally got to the second boss but he whooped me 😆

I'm not as good at this game as some others are, but I'm still having fun and progressing a bit at a time. I'd still like a "Save and Quit" feature, however.

"Save and Quit" would be a welcome addition, IMO. I don't get much time to play and I like switching up games from time to time without having to worry about lost progress.

After putting several hours into Returnal since launch (I don't get a lot of time to play), I will say this: this is the most fun "Rogue-like" game I've played so far. I really stank at Demon Souls to the point that I bailed out of frustration. I'm honestly not THAT good at Returnal, either. I've yet to get to the second section (I got killed by the first boss after getting VERY close to beating him), but I'm having FUN, and that's all I really care about. At least so far, I don't feel like I'm being punished, I feel like I'm learning from my mistakes. This feels more Doom-like than Demon Souls-like, IMO, and that's more up my alley, I suppose. I might get frustrated from time to time, but dying (something like a dozen times now, hahaha) doesn't make me mad because the gameplay is so good. We'll see how I feel when I have to make much longer runs in the future, but for now I'm having a good time, even when I have a misstep and end up getting stomped.

I had a weird bug that probably was my wife's fault 😆 I was mid-fast travel and she reset the internet. I landed with a black screen. I could see the map and hear the game, but I couldn't see anything. Even restarting my cycle didn't fix it. I had to completely close the game and restart. It was a good run, too 😢 😆

Well, I bought it. Wish me luck 😆

100% would play.

I honestly don't care about the price too much. I've spent more than that on games in the past. I care more about the fact that I'm not sure if I'll like it or just feel pummeled by it, LOL, so I'm waiting on reviews.

I'm very interested in this, but this type of game is very frustrating for me. I paid full price for Demon Souls when it came out. I enjoyed it for a while, but eventually bailed on it because I found it too frustrating. I don't get a lot of time to play games and being frustrated isn't how I want to spend that time. So many people loved that game, but ultimately it just p***** me off 😆 Just not my style, I guess.

Still, I'm keeping a close eye on this one for reviews.

I haven't played in a while but it's a fun game.

Days Gone, to me, was like The Last of Us, but actually fun to play. TLoU was a pretty good story, but I never felt like playing it again and haven't bothered with the sequel. It was like a great movie, but only an ok videogame. Gameplay is important when, you know, it's a game... DG may not have won any writing awards, but it was fun as hell. I also give it huge props for being one of the rare zombie stories that actually delved into the origins of what happened instead of just lazily glossing over it. I'd play DG2 over a TLoU remake/sequel in a heartbeat. It's a perfect example of different people liking different things. I think not greenlighting a sequel is a missed opportunity for sure.

Days Gone was one of my favorite games in years. I've played it through I think like 3 times now, and I'm not even a zombie (ahem... freakers) fan. This is disappointing.

I've been enjoying it since I started playing it with the update (my first time). The marketplace is too pricey and I get tired of being in the same places a lot, but it's fun and I'm looking forward to more additional content. I couldn't care less about multiplayer. I don't like playing with other people 😆

@OneManDroid I waited specifically for the PS5 version (got it on sale a few weeks ago). Started playing it yesterday and so far, I'm heaving a blast. It might help that multiplayer is always the least interesting part of a game for me (I don't like people lol) so I'm all about the campaign.

I've been playing this lately and enjoying it more than I expected.

I put a decent amount of hours into this game (I can't recall exactly how many. 40+ at least) and I just got kind of bored with it. Eivor is badass as a fighter but I don't find her nearly as interesting as I did Kassandra. I'll probably finish it someday, but I'm not in a rush.

I also got an email from them saying that the game is "up to" 50% off, but I'm not sure if that's on the PlayStation store or just through the email link. I haven't been home to check.

EDIT: it's only at "participating retailers" and the PS Store doesn't seem to be one of them. Bah.

I've had two DS controllers since launch and they've both been fine. I've only had two crashes total, as well. My PS4PRO crashed fairly often and one of my controllers had a serous drift problem, rendering it unusable. PS5? Everything's been great. Guess I'm lucky.

I was exited for this game but opted to wait for the PS5 version. Looks like it'll be a while, lol. Avengers too, though that one seems like it'll actually happen, this one... not so much.

HZD was one of my favorite games of the past decade, I think because I really connected with the story. As a natural skeptic, I really liked her and her reactions to figuring out what her people's beliefs were really based on, rather than taking everything at face value. She was an explorer in more than one sense and I liked that. The gameplay was secondary to me (though I thought it was good).

I'm enjoying the game, but it's not holding my interest as much as the previous two. I find myself playing it less and less. I'll finish it eventually. Probably.

I missed out on these altogether, so I'll likely check it out.

@get2sammyb I've been waiting for the PS5 version, personally. I'm still interested... though a bit worried about its future.

Miles only crashed for me once, and that's the only crash my PS5 has had since launch. Remastered has never crashed on me at all. I guess I'm lucky. Also, I haven't played Cyberpunk 2077, LOL

I'll definitely try a demo.

Sigh. I literally just finished this the other day, LOL. Oh well. I thought it was good, but not great. I didn't really find the story or characters interesting at all, but the gameplay was enjoyable. Will fire it up again just to see how it looks and runs now.

@Culjoseth seconded regarding the load times. It's night and day.

I'm definitely interested, but as a solo gamer, I'll definitely be weighing a number of reviews, as well.

@billyboyblue666 I loved it on my Pro and it's AMAZING on PS5. Seriously, it looks like a native PS5 game.

I never use the share screen because I'm literally the only person I know that has a PS5 (unfortunately) so I can't use this feature.

@Col_McCafferty PS3 was the only PS gen I skipped (went 360 then came back for PS4), so I played it on PS4 also. That probably affected my opinion on TLoU some as it had aged a bit by then. I probably wait for a PS5 version as you suggest, but you never know. The mood may strike me before then ☺

I thought that the first game was pretty good but I just wasn't as invested in it as some folks, I guess. I often found the gameplay to be frustratingly clunky. Also, full disclosure, I generally find zombie stuff to be very boring (not my cup of tea, I guess), so there's that. I didn't even know it had zombies when I bought it, LOL. I'd just heard good things and gave it a shot. That being said, I'm glad I did because I did think that the human element of the story was well done and I don't regret playing it at all. I enjoyed it.

I haven't felt the need to play the sequel yet but I'm sure I will eventually. None of the things that have some people all bothered are an issue to me at all and I'm sure I'll enjoy the story when I get around to it one day. I know not everyone did, but I'm glad that so many fans of the first game really liked it.

It's right there in the PS5's news section... Maybe it was updated, but I found it in about 2 seconds.

I still plan on picking this up, but not for about a year, or even later if the PS5 version hasn't released by then.

I won't be getting the PS4 version at all, BC or no BC. I just don't see the point. I want to play this game in its best state and the PS4 version is most definitely not that, even on PS5. I can be patient until the PS5 native version releases. I have enough other games to work on in the meantime. My backlog is ridiculous at the moment.

I forgot this game even came out, but appreciate the reminder. I'll check it out when it gets the update.

Honestly, I just wish I knew of a way to remove games from showing in my library. Tons of PS+ games I played for about an hour and then abandoned.

That being said, the Steam return policy makes sense to me. I think Sony should go with something like that.

@GodOfNothing Same. I have enough of a backlog as it is, LOL. That being said, I'm looking forward to playing this in 2021

@Hyperluminal I'll bear that in mind, as well!

@elvisfan1 the funny thing is, I do ok on the snow, LOL. However, you may have helped me out because I keep trying the asphalt thinking it would be easier. I should try the gravel more. I've never been a huge racing game fan and when I did play them more often (I'm talking like Sega Saturn days 😆 ), the games I played were more arcade-like. I think I'm just having a time adjusting to the sim style this game employs. It can be punishing. I was always bad at the GT series, too. Still, the DS is so good here that I'm less inclined to give up and more likely to keep trying. I have several games I'm playing at the moment but I like getting a race in now and then to relax.

I bought this game purely because of the reception its use of the Duelsense has gotten. I really suck at playing it, though. Still, I'm looking forward to some new cars and tracks to crash in and on, respectively 😆

They look normal enough to me (I live in Tennessee though... 😆 )

I've never played a Souls game before this one and so far it's mainly the armor spider that's been giving me a hard time. I've been stuck there for a couple of days now. After a while I get bored and go back to plaything something else, but I'm determined to kill that d*** thing 😆
