Like others have said, if it maintains the quality of the first season, then keep the seasons coming.

Microsoft has been doing this for a long time. This is maybe a new low, but even a game such as Gears Tactics required you to download a large portion of the game even though the whole game could've easily fit on the regular Blu-rays they still lazily use on the Xbox consoles.

Yes, there are a lot of games that require you to download a day 1 patch and all, but at least there's a decent portion of games that you could play out of the box if you chose to with the full v1.0 being on the disc, especially since PS5 games release on UHD discs instead of the old Blu-rays.

In the end, it's BS what Microsoft is doing, but at the same time I'm also still happy that they are releasing their games at all on PS5. Sure, this wouldn't be an issue if they didn't buy ZeniMax, but I'll still be happy to play some of their games since I did accomplish what I set out to do this gen and get myself down to just one platform. No more Xbox or Switch ever again.

Baldur's Gate 3

It's the game that never ends...

I was a huge Gears of War fan back in the day. I may get this at some point, but like others have said, it would've been nice to get the whole original trilogy or even the whole series. I say was because I'm pretty pissed that they decided not to finish the current trilogy's story in favor of doing a prequel instead.

Baldur's Gate 3

I'll finish this... someday.

This just guarantees I won't buy a single Xbox game at launch ever. Once the inevitable price increase hits PlayStation games, that will be the case with them too. The only game I'd buy regardless of price would be Horizon 3 because I'm a huge fan, but otherwise there's not a chance in hell I'm spending $80 for a game. That's just greed.

Baldur's Gate 3

Still going. A couple of frustrating almost unbalanced battles are making this take even longer than expected. I want to rescue Shadowheart's parents, but it's so frustratingly unfair even on Explorer difficulty that I may have to stop that mission and move on.

Imo, the themes are more important than the boot up. The boot up was cool, but it also added several seconds to the system's boot up.

I'll definitely get this at some point as Oblivion is one of my all-time favorites. Definitely no time soon though since I have plenty of other games right now. By the time I'm ready, maybe it'll be cheaper, which will work out nicely.

Hard for me to agree with the attack on Jackson village being so good when it was extremely noticeable that at least half of the zombies you could see had no makeup on whatsoever. It actually felt lazy more than great.

The whole dramatic bit where Tommy survives by having it still keep going and then just drop down right in front of him rather than just fall over like it would've in the game was unnecessary. I know what Craig was trying to do with that, but it looked silly that it still kept going and then just all of a sudden dropped.

The change from just hitting Joel over the head with the golf club to kill him to now stabbing him was a completely unnecessary change. It was already extremely graphic enough in the game. It added nothing seeing him laying there dead with half the golf club stuck in him.

This is one of my all-time favorites, so I'll happily buy it at some point and play it all over again. I have enough games to play right now, but definitely sometime in the future.

Baldur's Gate 3

I might as well just copy and paste it at this point since I've been playing it for a couple of months now.

Good to know it's coming soon. I was waiting until the 2nd one came out to do Wild Card.

I'll definitely be getting this at some point. Definitely not anywhere near release though as I'm still making my way through Baldur's Gate 3. I also still have Assassin's Creed Shadows to play and the upcoming Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

Yes please. I enjoy these types of games, and a Star Wars one makes perfect sense. I'm surprised nobody did one sooner.

Baldur's Gate 3

Still going. Fairly early in Act 3 finally.

I didn't feel like waiting any longer, so I started my playthrough over a month ago. I'm still early on in Act 3. Oh well. I'm loving the game the way it is.

Photo mode would've been nice, but that's about the only thing I really wish was already in the game.

@Mikey856 Luckily I'm not worried about getting the platinum. I just crossed 100 hours recently, so no way I'd spend the time to get that.

Baldur's Gate 3

I guess I lied when I said I was about to finish Act 2 last weekend. Still going, but I think I'm really about to finish the second Act this time.

I know Sony is greedy, but Nintendo seems to be taking it to another level. Locking what should be basic features behind a paywall and also forcing you to purchase games all over again that got upgrades. Yes, Sony has released far too many remasters and such, but at least a lot of them can be upgraded for only $10. That along with 1st party games that are really old still going for nearly full price most of the year.

The real kicker for me though is the fact that the Switch 2 will only support expensive micro SD cards. No longer the basic ones, so I can't just transfer over any Switch games I have. Considering how poor the internal memory is on both systems, that's a deal breaker for me. I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on top of $450 just because they didn't want to let it work with both.

People will still flock to it and it will sell incredibly well all over again, and people will buy millions of copies of the same games over again because when it comes to Nintendo, their fans don't care about the greed. The dock for it is great, but there's no way in hell I'm buying it as my secondary console.

Baldur's Gate 3

Still going in Act 2. Just polishing off some of the quests I didn't finish before making my way to Moonrise Towers.

@Zeke68 Alright, I'll give that a shot and see if that clears it up.

I don't own GT7, but I'm sure there will be something eventually that needs an update.

@Zeke68 No, I responded to the right person. You said all games on the home/start page automatically update and that's not true from my experience. I'm just going by my experience, which I'm not sure why it would differ so much from your's.

I didn't say all installed games on the internal drive. I figured I didn't need to say that since the discussion was about games on the home page. I could've been clearer, but again, there was no reason to.

I didn't single you out either. Again, I responded to you because what you were saying differed greatly from what I've experienced from the PS5 with games automatically updating on the home screen like they should for years.

@Zeke68 It does not automatically update every game on your home/start page. If you move any of those games to extra storage, whether internal or external, it automatically detecting an update is sketchy at best. I almost always have to do it manually. Games on the regular internal SSD? Sure, that automatically downloads 99% of the time.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to play it day 1, but I have had it pre-ordered for several weeks now.

Baldur's Gate 3

Still working my way through Act 2.

Nice to see something that's actually different turn out to be pretty good. There's no way I have time to play it anytime soon, so I won't be buying it at launch, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for it down the line.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare You can't go by the user reviews on Metacritic. Sorry, no matter how you spin it that's not a barometer. It average is around the mid-70's on all platforms from the actual reviewers.

It's easy to assume that's why the game bombed, but that would be without putting any thought into it at all. It released in October, a loaded month. Square Enix is more to blame than the game itself for it bombing. Of course it wasn't going to sell going up against Call of Duty, Sonix X Shadows Generation (which was bigger than expected), Silent Hill 2, etc.

I bought the game and actually enjoyed it.

They pretty much sealed the fate of the game by releasing it in an absolutely loaded October. I know other companies have done it too, but Square Enix must be run by some of the biggest idiots in the industry if they expected it to somehow still sell.

While I like some of the other games in the series better, I still enjoyed Double Exposure. It's a shame Square Enix pretty much sealed the fate of the game, as I'd be shocked if this wasn't the last.

Baldur's Gate 3

It was far from perfect obviously, but I still highly enjoyed it. I have yet to play the two sequels, but I would like to eventually. A shame in a way that it was even treated like the red headed stepchild of the series by Square Enix for so long, being the only game not to even get re-released on PS4.

Already have this pre-ordered. Looking forward to it playing it on release, which is rare for me nowadays.

Baldur's Gate 3

I've progressed into Act 2. I probably missed some side quests in the first Act, but I wanted to get into the second Act as I started going around in circles.

It being kind of easy to get a little lost at times would be one complaint, but I'm still loving it regardless. Once I got back on the right track, then it's always all good.

Good for them, but I only care about Horizon 3. I hope that's coming along nicely as well.

@Dragoon1994 Prepare to not play anything else for months.

Baldur's Gate 3

Approaching 40 hours in and still loving it. I'm still working my way through the Underdark towards Moonrise Towers, which is naturally taking a while.

Holy crap. Say what you want about Dragon Age being a commercial failure, this is still an insane month. I'm glad I kept being lazy and didn't buy the Cowabunga Collection for no reason. Sonic Colors: Ultimate isn't great, but it's Sonic, so I'll definitely take it for free as well.

I loved the originals, probably even more than the two new ones, so I'd happily buy and play these all again. I've never played the PSP games, so that'd be a nice bonus too.

Not surprising based on price and actual need for a mid-gen upgrade. There was much more of a need for it last gen with the introduction of 4K. Granted it's all a luxury, but the PS5 Pro was even more so this time around as it's more to cover up inept developers than a true technological leap like last gen. There can be a feeling of nickel and diming as well with no disc drive or vertical stand for a console that is advertised as being displayed vertically.

It doesn't help that there were problems with plenty of games initially to the point where it was better playing it without PSSR, the whole point of the PS5 Pro really. If the price goes down and there's more games that show a true advantage like games did last gen, then I'd consider one.

I'm waiting until the whole thing is released, but while I know the review isn't glowing, it's good to know that the first half is solid. I have faith that they will deliver with a pretty good back half.

Baldur's Gate 3

Playing it for a little over a week and it's going really well so far. Still not that great at combat, but I'll get the hang of it. Look forward to playing it for several hours this weekend.

Like others have said, this was one of the highlights of the show. I look forward to the gameplay video that they will be putting out tomorrow.

I'd happily buy the Lightning figurine if the price doesn't end up being ridiculous. That's the only thing that's held me back from having more video game figures. Having to spend $150-$200 just for a figure is ridiculous, and some of them don't even end up looking like the characters well enough (Final Fantasy 7 Remake ones being prime examples).

Sony has lowered my expectations so low with these this console generation that I don't even watch them anymore. This one will be no different for me.

They do need to do something other than just show more of already announced games though, although a release date for Ghost of Yotei would be great.

Baldur's Gate 3

Was able to play for about an hour yesterday after creating my character the day before. If PSN ever comes back up this weekend, I look forward to finally spending some decent time with the game as I attempt to get a hang of it. 2 years late, I join the party.

A shame if this never does come out since a proper Wonder Woman game would be great.

Weird even developers that seemed more than capable like Monolith can't even make games anymore.

I think the EA CEO needs to stop snorting the lines...

In all seriousness, if it was live service, it would've bombed regardless because then it would've alienated most of the actual Dragon Age fans that would've bought it. Even if different people bought it, they'd still be in the same spot.

I for one still look forward to playing this someday down the road when I catch up with the series. Even though it may end up being the death of the series, I could care less about the negativity.

@PorkChopExpress Better to be nicer than your reputation than to actually be like the internet makes up in their heads.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

I haven't gotten to play it a whole lot so far even though I started it earlier in the week, but I have enjoyed what I've gotten to play so far. I look forward to actually getting to dig into it properly at some point this weekend.

I know I'm not a rocket scientist, but I would think the easiest solution to work to bring them back would be just to not take them away in the first place. I guess that's just too simple.

Although I do like the boot-up, that is the one thing I will be ok with being gone. It adds quite a bit to the boot up time, but they could've easily just taken that away and kept the anniversary themes. Now they can re-release them like it's something special all over again.
