What surprises me is that this didnt happen before. Dreams is honestly quite the tool but the entrance barrier is a bit too high for most people, I dont think it should be free to play at all but itsl was never even on ps+ on any tier. It's a DriveClub situation where it truly feels like sony didnt even try, like they were stuck with the project and only supported it this long because they were contractually obligated to.
First of all, screw everyone who bullied on this woman. Second: her va is bad, straight up, nothing to do with racism or misoginy. I dont think the VA's or the character's race will ever have anything to do with the quality of the acting itself. If anything, I would say its racist to say that a character has to be portrayed by someone from the same race. why wouldnt a black man be able to voice a white character or the other way around?
This woman does not deserve to go through this, but her statement is false and only represents a vocal minority that shouldnt even exist in this industry.
My brother in heaven, you know the state that the game was when you released it, you made it. i trully hope that most people get refunds for this, ND and sony dont deserve a single penny for releasing stuff in this state.
Does anyone at sony considered for a second that making a whole ass device focused exclusivelly on streaming games is a bad idea? SPECIALLY since you can already stream ***** from your phone. What are they thinking?
Jesus people, left the VA alone, they have nothing to do with it. That level of hostility is not acceptable at all. HOWEVER The new VA for Ada is in fact terrible, she sounds like an 58 year old chainsmoker, I was waiting for her to say something like "Leon be a dear and pour ol' Ada some brandy"
I know I'm being dramatic but it IS a massive downgrade from RE2, not to mention that she is very boring, mumbling her lines in emotionless monotones.
i love the ps4 pro and it deserves a lot of love. but its time to retire m8. only reason you should still have a ps4 is because some games, till this day, dont run propperly on ps5, like dead nation (really sony? you own these guys) and ps2 classics.
@darthvirgin I mean, the point is still the same right? Its an almost 10 yo machine that was already a bit outdated when it came out and it makes no sense pushing games that are supposed to use the best of current technology into something that had to have a mid generation upgrade because it was already obsolete in 2016.
We should coin a coin term for this kind of stuff, sadly "the ubisoft formula" is already taken. maybe try and be more original? however ubi games have become so repetitive in their design that i can see an AI doing better than their current manpower.
@Uncharted2007 i mean, maybe? I would love to have the original Mirrors edge remastered and bad company gets enough love online that I can see it happening, but idk, they didnt de-list the original mass effect or crysis before remastering them.
For now I'm obliged to condone piracy, I honestly think that game preservation is important and the decision to remove these games from digital stores comes from the publisher, not the creators.
Edit: If a game is avaliable to purchase, you SHOULD BUY IT. the only reason why im condoning piracy here is in the case of lost media.
Imo this is by far the best Far Cry game and the best open world ubisoft title, so i'm pretty hyped about this. 60fps os the excuse I need to play it again
@Hundred_Hand_Slap eh, I like it
Black with collorful cooling jives my jeeves in ways I cannot trully understand.
In a "so bad its good" fashion perhaps?
I have to agree with @nomither6 tho, collored buttons would look so slick
I wouldnt buy BF but I would play it, so I'm glad we're getting it. Minecraft is always something to play with the fiance so thats also pretty good. I already own Code Vein but I do like it, so thats also good. Overall its a good line up imo. Maybe not something everyone will like but cmon, you didnt even have enough time to play the top tier ***** that came to Extra, so no time to complain, go play Ace Combat 7!!!
Ps3 is still the one console I refuse to abandon. its still the best way to play ps1 and ps2 titles, it has an amazing library with titles that simply are not avaliable anywhere else. maybe if some day the ps5 can propperly emulate ps3 games, or if I can just plop a ps3 disc and play that game on ps5, or just have an option to download the games I own digitally on ps3. Only then I'll be ready to retire it but as its stands, its still a fantastic console with arguably the best UI sony ever made. God Bless the PS3.
@dark_knightmare2 like i said dude, if you like it, more power to ya, i just happen to think those are the worse ones in the franchise, let alone the " old school" ac games. I replayed Brotherhood when the ezio collection came out on ps4 and i'm not too big on that one either. But thats just my opinion, right? I genuinely like that you like these games and I'm glad that they patched a pretty bang up game so more people can try it.
A patch that makes it worse because now you can actually play it.
We were better off when we couldnt lol
If you like this game, more power to you but I'm not touching it ever again with a 10 meter pole, by far the worst AC game in memory
huh,
so they really did not care to make a propper carreer mode to GT7.
Welp there's always next time, I'll just think of GT7 as GT Sport 2 now.
who am I kidding? the next GT will probably be nothing but scapes lol
I cant stop thinking about how we all wanted metal gear for ps+classic and sony went: "But son, we have Metal Gear at home" and gave us syphon filter 1, 2 and 3.
@dellyrascal thats waaaay too convoluted to be a reasonable solution. If what you said is correct, keep in mind that 39 Menu's means aquiring around 137 cars before you can sell a vehicle. I dont think the issue is actual credits in the game, its well balanced and I beat the game without ever needing to use actual real world money. But it makes it so there is a much bigger grind in order to get the more expensive cars. Either way, its an amazing game, probably my favorite game this year aside Elden Ring, I just questions some decisions around it.
@Pandalulz That would make a lot of sense, specially since the game it says I played the most online was Minecraft and I dont think I ever played that in an actual server
Still waiting form them to let you sell your cars. I love this game but I'm still disapointed that, looks aside, GT6 is still the best one in the franchise.
it definitivelly doesnt track hours played propperly, I have a 100+ hour save on persona 5 royal but it says that I've only played 58 hours of it, same goes for online multiplayer, I definitivelly spent a whole ass day on Warzone and many many hours on Siege but it says that I've only played 3 hours of online multiplayer. other than that, wow
1026 Hours playing games (which I'm fairly sure its quite a bit more) 152 of those hours on Elden ring alone.
Not gonna get premium again. I thought it was actually a good deal at first but premium is pretty much abandoned, if they start releasing classic games again i might return but for now I'll stick to extra
@Don_Corleone Thats a technicality, Dead Space has loading screens in between levels but thats a limitation of systems at the time and, this is just a personal opinion, having loading screens is much better than the absolute boredom of using the bifrost, I rather have a 2 seconds loading screen than a 5 minute excuse everytime you want to change realms because the game is designed around that no matter how fast the ssd is.
Now, when it comes to Dead Space 2, full game, one shot, you cant even count save screens because the ps3 had a ***** UI and the game did autosave so you never REALLY had to manually save it.
So... Like the original? I cant talk about dead space 3 but both 1 and 2 are already 'one shot'. To say it follows in the steps of god of war is disingenuous to say the least, more like the contrary.
@thefourfoldroot1 well thank god kids arent allowed to have credit cards then. The responsibility and teaching the value of money is something that the parents should be doing, not a mutimilion dollar company. Also, my dude every company is happy to take your money, if you think that buying a skin on a game that's free to play is somehow worse than paying 70$ to even play a game i dont think you have the right mindset. Like @solocapers said, as long as its not something that changes the balance of the game in your favor, theres nothing wrong with it. But comparing purely cosmetic stuff to something like Diablo immortal is kinda like comparing a ***** mcdonalds job to child slavery.
I know it looks better than the original, which is preciselly why I think it looks worse, realism doesnt automatically ==prettier and I think this is a pretty clear case of this happening, maybe I'm biased, maybe i'm a "hater" (which I dont think I am, I love the original and part 2) but I dont think this is worth my money, there was never anything missing in the original experience, let alone in the ps4 remaster.
To everyone else who thinks this is worth it, I do hope you enjoy your experience, The Last of Us is something trully special and that will never change
@Gelly with all respect I disagree, as fans and consumers not only we have the right to like something, we also have the right to criticize that, I'm a huge naughty dog fan but I want to see them making something new, other than graphics there is literally nothing new on this version of the game. if we can criticise sports games for being the same every year I dont see how its a bad thing for a company to do minimal ammount of work and charge full price for minimal changes to something that was already made. the games industry is a market, and if the ones making the product dont want to listen to feedback from the people who buy their stuff, well, then they'll just keep getting worse and worse.
gamers should hold themselves to higher standarts than this, companies are making idiots out of them and they're just eating whatever they are spoonfed.

Re: Far Cry 5 Potentially Getting 60fps PS5 Patch on Fifth Anniversary
@KundaliniRising333 its a launch disc ps5, had a bunch of ps4 discs so it made sense getting the disc version. But far cry 5 itself was a digital copy
Re: Far Cry 5 Potentially Getting 60fps PS5 Patch on Fifth Anniversary
@KundaliniRising333 i played it in its entirety on ps5, only issue i had was the jittery 30fps

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2023 Confirmed
I wouldnt buy BF but I would play it, so I'm glad we're getting it.

Re: What Year Is It? There's a New PS3 Firmware Update Out Now
Ps3 is still the one console I refuse to abandon. its still the best way to play ps1 and ps2 titles, it has an amazing library with titles that simply are not avaliable anywhere else.
maybe if some day the ps5 can propperly emulate ps3 games, or if I can just plop a ps3 disc and play that game on ps5, or just have an option to download the games I own digitally on ps3. Only then I'll be ready to retire it but as its stands, its still a fantastic console with arguably the best UI sony ever made.
