I still don’t get all the negativity around the pro. I won’t be getting one, it’s not for me because I’m happy to play games at 30fps and the dragons dogma 2 frame rate was a none issue for me. But people have been moaning about frame rates and resolutions all this gen and Sony decide to release something for these players and everyone still moans. Not to mention the price, which isn’t actually that bad considering what specs your getting.
Hopefully be playing the console version of Phasmaphobia. Hopefully it’s a decent port, I really enjoyed it on pc! I’ve also got A Quiet Place and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit to play. FNAF has some really good sprite animations and gives me OG Clock Tower vibes.
I’ve been playing it on and off for a couple weeks and it’s good fun. My main problem is the lag spikes which should get fixed. The limited base building is a good thing in my books because you only have a couple minutes to build one and it’s simple and easy to use. There’s walls, towers, gates, ramps, bunkers and turrets. Dunno what more you would want really. The actual gunplay is really satisfying too and the game can get crazy hectic. Also the bug corpses hang around after you killed them and it’s really cool seeing the other enemies climb them to get up and over your base walls.
@Cal_ it’s really sweet, but you don’t have to worry about me. It’s just a bit of fun. You already stated your opinion in a post before that so you didn’t need to specifically reply to someone saying they enjoyed the game as if their opinion is somehow invalid and yours is fact.
Starship Troopers Extermination - Still having a blast with this game which I am preferring over Helldivers 2. There’s just so much more going on and I really enjoy the base building and defence sections.
Palworld - Super addictive although I’m a bit underwhelmed by the games graphics. The characters and Pals look good, but I’ve seen some of the worst textures this gen. Luckily the gameplay makes up for it, especially playing co-op.
Silent Hill 2 - Not much to say really. Impressive remake that remains faithful to the original while expanding on certain parts. Enjoying my time with it and can’t wait to play more
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead - Bought this on a whim and so far I’m pleasantly surprised. Definitely not as good as Alien Isolation but it’s still a well made game. It also looks much better than I thought it would graphically although I find the monster walking animations off. It’s like they’re sliding on the floor at times.
@Svark you can actually play the whole game if your friend owns the full version. If two people with the friend pass play they only get the first level.
This is basically the game me and my brothers dreamed of growing up watching the film. It is a bit rough around the edges and there is definitely less coordination then HellDivers 2, but it’s great fun. The bug corpses hanging about after being killed is a great feature and when piles of them stack up against a base wall the other enemies can climb up them. Just like the film!
Giving Pal World co-op a try later and then I’ll be playing some Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos tomorrow along with some 7 days to Die in the evening. Also be popping on Starship Troopers Extermination for a bit too, which is a fun game. Seeing as Sunday and Monday is my weekend I’ll be playing Silent Hill 2 all of Monday as well.
Been playing 7 Days to Die, the best survival game on PS5! Also continuing with Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos, which is a really nice chilled back game.
I’ve played a few hours and really enjoyed it so far! Though I’m wondering if I should put it one side and wait for all these improvements. I bought it along with Spider-Man 2, which isn’t gripping me as much as I thought. Might be worth moving onto that for now.
@KyushuTrail Nothing beats that satisfying feeling of finally taking down a boss in that game. Then again, there’s nothing worse then that sinking feeling when you realise that boss has a second phase
I am unfortunately playing through the game right now and aside from the novelty of seeing all the characters and game worlds it’s a slog. I started with Hotfuzz on my second profile and for a split moment I thought this could actually be a decent game so started playing it on my main. Also, maybe it’s just me but I’m finding the game to be quite difficult. The lack of level checkpoints and unskipable cut scenes also drags the game down a lot. You have 3 lives and once they’re gone it’s game over and back to the start of the level. Other things like using items is a pain too. A quick heal would be good, but you have to navigate over to and equip the healing item and then hold square to use it, hoping not to get hit by the infinite spawning enemies. Graphics look nice though.
Edit: Also, the story is very barebones and the cutscenes start and stop so abruptly that it ruins the flow of the game. Every time a cutscene starts it’s like being hit in the face with a pie.
Edit: Does anyone know if it’s possible to change worlds at any point? I’m stuck playing the Thing and I want to change it up.
I played Rebirth for 90+ hours on quality mode and it was my favourite gaming experience on PS5 to date. Only complaint was the low quality textures which the pro isn’t fixing from the sounds of things.
@Olmaz why should it be free? Someone took the time to make it and they have a right to be paid for that. I haven’t played it myself but it’s clearly a well made, fun game.
Was hoping they’d do a similar remake like Crash and Spyro but I’ll still take this! I remember first seeing the trailer for it at the beginning of the Casper: A Spirited Beginning VHS. It was better than the film!
@scoobdoo Have you even played it? Because if you can beat the game just by pressing X that’s impressive. Even more so if you played the PS5 version because that’s the default jump button.
There’s plenty more to every fight then just hitting attack and you know it. Other wise you could say the same thing about Demon/Dark Souls, God of War and Devil May Cry.
Just beat a couple bosses from chapter 2. I’d give it an 8/10 so far. My two complaints (that mainly started from chapter 2) are the lack of direction and those bloody archers 😂
I’ve enjoyed Watch_Dogs Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Fenix Rising and Avatar this gen. They were all fun, well made games and I see Star Wars Outlaws being no different. I know I’ll enjoy it.
If they made a new killzone, socom, resistance or whatever that’s still catering to a specific audience. Maybe people don’t like military shooters and want another 3rd person adventure game like Uncharted or a racing game like MotorStorm or Gran Turismo. I’m not a big fan of Killzone, yet if they released a new one I wouldn’t go into every article about it hoping for it to fail. I would just ignore it and hope the next Sony game is for me.
@Northern_munkey Wukong was days from release without any PS5 footage and no review codes. People were right to be somewhat concerned. This game isn’t out for a long while, so it’s too early to raise any concerns about lack of PS5 footage. Plus they praised Wukong in their preview for it. You really need to let this go.
@Northern_munkey you need to get this idea of scare mongering out of your head. I, like probably most others came to the conclusion that the lack of any console footage throughout development is a worrying sign, long before this preview.
@Frmknst Coming from the PS4 version there’s no denying there is a big upgrade to the graphics. Not that I would have ever called Hunt a bad looking game anyways. As for sterile and empty maps, I don’t know what more they could do? They are perfectly suited to this type of game and packed with tons of interesting highly detailed areas to explore that are pretty atmospheric (especially at night). Plus the open areas make for tense gameplay as you run across them hoping no one is watching you. Out of curiosity, How would you improve the maps?
I’m interested in the game but am definitely waiting for PS5 reviews. I’m hoping it isn’t another Cyberpunk though. I have a feeling the game won’t be anywhere near the quality of the PC version, otherwise why would the developers not want to show any footage at all. If they had it running on consoles at the same level (or close) to the PC version surely they’d want to show it off as it would be one of the best looking games on PS5.
@Randinator123 not sure about the resolution but it’s definitely 60fps. Very smooth too. I did notice slight stutters going into hunt vision next to a clue and more annoyingly when you get shot by other players.
While I didn't much enjoy the beta, I don’t go into every article moaning about the game wishing for it to fail. But yeah, it’s so bad reading all the entitled comments here complaining because Sony isn’t making a game they want. Just get over it and move on. I don’t even think it’s constructive criticism anymore, like people claim. It’s just hate.
Beat the game, getting all endings and it’s very good. Gave me chills a few times actually. My only complaint is that the scares start repeating quite quickly and while it’s not such a big deal with the smaller ones (demons/ghosts hiding or watching you) because they always get me, it does get a tad annoying seeing the same story scares throughout the multiple playthroughs needed for all endings. The ones that make you stop what you’re doing to view them and won’t let you continue until it’s over.
I still enjoy Call of Duty still but when they merged every game together with massive downloads and lots of space required I kinda just stopped buying them. Last game I played was Cold War which I got with my PS5. Shame because I really liked the campaigns.
Been wanting to play Lego Star Wars for a while so I’ll give it a go. I already own Security Breach but it’s actually quite a challenging game. Reminds me of Alien Isolation with the limited saving. I gave up with it because it was quite buggy at launch but hopefully they’ve fixed it all now. Definitely worth a try.
Jesus. Everyone complaining about them adding new content later on down the line. This doesn’t mean the base game is incomplete. Just because they plan ahead so people who enjoy the game can get something new later on doesn’t mean everyone is getting half a game at launch. Oh, it’s Ubisoft better complain even though this is common practice among most developers
