The lack of info surrounding this game since it's announcement has worried me. I am so excited to know this still exists. I think if they can match the energy of Alien Isolation this will be a home run. Seriously can't wait to play.
@Damage99 OCD, baby. I love delivering them packages. The story is convoluted and pretentious and I've seen the twist coming since inception. But, God damn do I love high tailing it across mountains and desert delivering boxes.
@gamer153 but that's how the game is played. Open the map, set your marker, and run. That's what I mean by shepherding. Hey man, I was able to get the platinum in just over two weeks by playing with randoms. If you can't even play the game using the tools they give you then the game isn't the problem here.
@gamer153 I've only ever played with randoms. It can be shocking to see truly bad players make terrible mistakes and try to fight the day 2 boss being level 7. But you've just gotta get better at shepherding them.
Nightreign is excellent. Took me twenty hours to understand the game and beat the first boss. Beat the next seven bosses over the the following ten hours. Very doable platinum trophy. Took me about 75 hours.
It makes me feel ill seeing the level of hate Neil gets online. And it's so stupid, too. It's as if Joel Miller was everyone's real dad and Neil killed him in front of them. Y'all never witness a provocative story before?
I thought D4 started strong, but over my next 60 hours with it I hated it more and more. I'm still a psycho who will put 60 hours into D2 without a second thought. I don't know. D4 just doesn't have a soul.
I love the game. I have always felt the online hate to be extremely immature and nonsensical. As if Joel Miller's life must continue because they demand it. Like, how do you get through life with this kind of mindset? The game clearly illustrates the human cost for seeking revenge. In that sense the game is terrific. It's depressing as hell, but it is rock solid.
That being said, I will not be watching season 2 of the HBO series because I don't need it. From what I've been hearing it's a downgrade from the source material and that is one of my greatest pet peeves when it comes to respecting and following the source material.
That sounds fricken awesome. Give the Grozni Grad map again and we're all set. I mainly played MGO as a stealth game anyways so this is music to my ears.
@Sniperwithacause MGO is mouthwatering. Mgsv's MGO was completely lackluster. MGO for MGS3 and especially MGS4 were so freaking good it is a travesty on the level of no Silent Hills that they no longer are (ethically) playable.
I wonder then if Peace Walker would be the next remake. The game would need a lot of work to properly modernize it, but I can't foresee them remaking the original Metal Gear MSX games. If they did, I imagine it would be in the same style, but those games need a modern third person perspective.
I highly doubt it. Maybe a demo will be available, but I think the game will come out when it comes out. I wouldn't put any stake in there not being more delays.
If MGO is anyway as good as MGO for MGS3/MGS4 my backlog is taking a long sabbatical. Bloodstained is a day 1. On the pessimistic side, if we don't see wolverine on Friday that games in trouble.
The game is solid. It took me 20 hours to figure the game out and defeat the first night lord, then 10 hours to beat the remaining 7. Game does feel like the community overall has mostly grasped it and will master it by the end of the month. Maybe 1 in 4 runs now with randoms is a bad run with people wasting time. It's going to need a lot more content, and something new to shake up the formula.
@Coffeeglitch I'm also 34 in the area with limited friends 😂 moved an hour out of Toronto recently, and am hesitant to reinstate ps+. Do you think the game is beatable solo? This is the one thing that'll get me to buy
So, I don't have ps+. Is it possible to beat these runs solo? Or by saying it's clear this game is intended for multiplayer that the balance isn't there for solo players? Thanks!
I stopped subbing a couple months ago for the first time since the services inception. Haven't looked back, tbh. My backlog list is so long that I don't care about missing out. The only thing that bums me out is not being able to play Helldivers, but I will be playing Elden Ring Nightreign completely solo offline so c'est la vie.
I've stopped paying for Ps+ in general because I don't think it offers enough value for the money at s time where we are all swimming deep in our backlogs.
This is very neat, but aside from maybe Halloween I don't know when if ever it would get any play. Wicked soundtrack. Bought the Hotline Miami 2 vinyl collection years ago and it basically collects dust.
Oblivion was my first PS3 game, so i played the everliving crap out of it. I think it's my favourite Elder Scrolls because of it. That, plus it isn't as streamlined as Skyrim was in terms of quests. Really looking forward to this. I hope there's a physical release.
Rogue City is awesome!!! If you're a Robocop fan, you should check this out. I played it last year and was blown away. It's a simple game, but with the return of Peter Weller I was hooked. (You get extra experience for shooting people in the tenders.)
Sony this generation has inspired me to abandon Playstation. Next gen I'll be steam deck and switch. I've already abandoned ps+. PS5 has been a huge disappointment to me, and I've bought ever playstation since PS1.
@get2sammyb No, of course. Just venting that if they're able to use the help of support studios to add in new characters/ update game modes in TLOU2, then they should be trying to figure out Factions. But, I get it.

Re: Hideo Kojima Alone Is Currently Working on PlayStation Exclusive Physint
He hatched Death Stranding pretty quick. Let the man cook. But, I'm not surprised Herman Hulst gave a man a contract based on nothing.

They're bringing back the cut to black loading screens...? That sounds like a terrible decision.

I think it's just as likely to be cancelled at this rate.
Re: Publishers Pitch Sony on Adding Retro Classics to PS Plus

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox
Personally I thought the transition from turn based strategy to button mashing action game was lame. I dropped off the game after 5 hours.

If Jurassic Park Survive isn't there I'm assuming it's canceled.
Re: PlayStation Showcase, State of Play Event for May Appears Increasingly Unlikely
I wouldn't be surprised if Wolverine gets cancelled at this point. The games gone through multiple directors and is apparently in trouble.
