I understand and remember having to play the games to unlock stuff, but I don't remember many instances where you had to do that to unlock couch co-op if the game had it.
I think San Andreas requires some gameplay to play it's 2 player mode but that's all I can remember
The new games are good and all but skipping over the Greek Arc entirely kinda annoys me.
I'm sure there will be references to it and maybe some flashbacks but damn, those games had a scale of epicness to them the Norse games certainly didn't have.
Idk who could pull it off but can you imagine the opening to GoW3 in live action? That'd be insanity lol
If some aspiring rapper records an album using their own money for production, studio time, mixing etc but then get signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation and they help publish, advertise and distribute said artist's album...no I don't think that artist is independent.
Yes they created the art with their own time, money, and resources but the second a big studio is helping them out I think they no longer qualify as an independent artist.
Same with gaming or any other meduim, in my opinion.
All I know is that if the Steamcube is comparable to a base PS5 and Valve doesn't require me to pay ten dollars a month to use online features, I will probably make it my main gaming space moving forward.
My PS5 can be reserved strictly for exclusives that are not on Steam.
I enjoyed Tsushima however I am personally liking Yotei more so far. I like Atsu a lot, I love the revenge plot, and the fact we aren't limited to a katana since Atsu isn't hung up on being an honorable samurai.
It's far from almost flawless. The netcode is atrocious. Absolutely unacceptable for rollback in 2025.
Seriously, anyone potentially getting this kollection to play it online do not waste your money like I did.
No ranked
No lobbie
No private match
Terrible netcode
UMK3 Wavenet has online versus but no training mode like all of the other games with online in this kollection
MK3/UMK3/Trilogy doesn't have the kombo strings in the move list which is something even the old Arcade Kollection had.
The training modes don't even have a simple reset position button
I understand not everyone cares about playing online or trying to get good at these games but c'mon...for the price tag it should have standard features and netcode that doesn't feel like it's from 2006.
I've missed Skate so much. It's wild we didn't get a single new game, collection remaster, or even a basic port of the original trilogy during the PS4/XB1 generation.
I'm sure the game will be good...but after waiting 8 years or so there's no way it's ever going to be good enough to feel like that wait was totally justified unless it is some kind of genre redefining masterpiece on a scale we haven't seen in years.

Re: WB Games Is Bringing Back Its 'Biggest Franchises' Starting Next Year
Honestly would love to see NRS make a fighting game like Injustice but based on the recent DC KO comics
That story is pretty much the perfect setup for a fighting game.
Re: Guilty Gear Strive 2.00 Still on Schedule Despite Months of Silence
Strive is so fun, I can't wait to see what they do with 2.0
Re: Memory Crisis Threatening to Delay PS6 Could Last 'Another 10 Years'
I'm fine with that. Maybe by then the PS6 will genuinely look like a huge leap in technology and like a true next generation machine.
Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
I think Sony should explain this decision. That "statement" is a bunch of nonsense that chatgpt could barf out in 20 seconds.
I think everyone deserves a real explanation behind this and why it actually happened.
Re: Poll: Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
Hell no. I like the modern GoW games but I think the remakes should be as accurate to the originals as possible.
Re: Opinion: The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me
Probably because nobody is in a rush to drop another $500+ on a machine that will probably barley look better or do anything innovative.
Unless the PS6 is going to be a really groundbreaking leap it's going to seem redundant and unnecessary right now.
Re: 'I Feel Cheated and I Want a Refund': Fans Lash Out at New PS5 God of War's Unlockable Local Multiplayer Mode

Re: Kena: Scars of Kosmora a Bigger and Better PS5 Sequel, Out in 2026
@spcspc Yeah the bosses were way more difficult than I was expecting lol
Great game though and im glad I gave it a chance.
Re: Awesome Free-to-Play Fighter 2XKO Has Arrived on PS5
I think this game could be fun but specials being bound to trigger buttons is kinda weird.
And the two characters that interest me (Warwick and Blitzcrank) don't seem to have much team synergy so far lol
Maybe ill just run Juggernaut Fuse and play one or the other lol
Re: Granblue Fantasy Dev Cygames Apologises for AI Studio Announcement Following Backlash
As long as they dont use that trash on the Kagurabachi anime.

Re: Sony May Be 'Planning Its Entire Calendar' Around GTA 6, Says Jason Schreier
I hate this. I won't pretend I do not understand it, but that does not change the fact that not everyone cares about GTA 6.
Those people having to experience a potential gaming drought because of it's looming presence is going to be annoying.

Re: Talking Point: With Expedition 33 Winning Best Indie Game, What Does 'Indie' Mean to You?
Let's apply this to the music industry.
If some aspiring rapper records an album using their own money for production, studio time, mixing etc but then get signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation and they help publish, advertise and distribute said artist's album...no I don't think that artist is independent.
Yes they created the art with their own time, money, and resources but the second a big studio is helping them out I think they no longer qualify as an independent artist.

Re: Fantastic Fighter Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising Opens Up with Easy Control Modes on PS5, PS4
Super fun and underrated fighter. I definitely recommend it especially since you can try it for free.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Huge Patch 1.1 Out Now on PS5, Adds New Game+, Armour, and Much More
Sick
I'm still on my first playthrough but the autoloot option will definitely be a nice QoA addition
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

Re: Horizon MMO Uses AI 'Extensively' in Development, Says NCSOFT
Why would you tell people this lol
Most people don't want ai involved in the stuff they consume.
Re: PS5 Is Getting an Official 27" Monitor with DualSense Charging Functionality
Ok but what's the input lag.
I'm being serious, if we're assuming 90% of the controllers being used on this will be a DualSense controller they should tell is the input lag lol
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
I enjoyed Tsushima however I am personally liking Yotei more so far. I like Atsu a lot, I love the revenge plot, and the fact we aren't limited to a katana since Atsu isn't hung up on being an honorable samurai.
Re: Some PS5 Owners Might Be Paying More Than Others on PS Store
That's crooked af, or at least has the potential to be.
Re: Study Claims Physical PS5 Games Are 100 Times Worse for the Planet Than Digital Downloads
Too bad
Me owning a disc of Ghost Of Yotei isn't doing ***** to the planet compared to all of these billionaires with their private jets and yachts.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (October 2025)
Yotei
It would have been MK Legacy Kollection buy Digital Eclipse dropped the ball hard.

Re: Sony's Brave Bet on Anime Is Looking Like a Masterstroke
@Rhaoulos Season 1 definitely only covers a small part of a pretty big and emotional story
I won't tell you it's a masterpiece , but it's a damn good manga.
Re: EA's Game Development Is Very Quickly Becoming an AI-Driven Hellscape, Report Claims
Owned by Saudi and AI driven?
Glad I deleted skate. and moved on. EA can kick rocks.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?
No
I just want Killer Instinct and Banko Kazooie lol
Re: PS6 Could Be the Only Next-Gen Console Charging for Online Multiplayer
Obviously nothing 100% confirmed but the Nextbox is sounding like it's going to be pretty sick IF all of these rumors turn out to be true.
Re: This Is Why Xbox Is Bringing All of Its Games to PS5 Now
Can we get Killer Instinct please lol that's the only thing they have I actually want next to Banjo Kazooie/Rare Replay.
Re: Give the Fantastic Space Marine 2 a Shot with Free PS5 Demo, Out Now
It's so fun. I hope this will get people to get the full game. I love it.
Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
It means Sony could do any money squeezing anti-consumer practice they want unchallenged.
Console only people probably won't switch to PC, and the Switch is essentially it's own ecosystem.
I don't particularly care for Xbox but Playstation needs someone to at least try to keep them in check.
Re: Prototype Remaster Could Potentially Be Happening, Evidence Found in PC Version
Man I've these games back in the day but I do worry if going back to them they might not play as good as I remember lol I was a teenager
Re: Out Today: Skate Makes Its Big Return in Early Access on PS5, PS4, and It's Free to Play
After putting about 3 hours into it I like it a lot so far.
The art style isn't really my favorite but the gameplay is fun and that's what has me hooked lol
Re: Out Today: Skate Makes Its Big Return in Early Access on PS5, PS4, and It's Free to Play
Got it downloaded, ready to shred later🔥
I've missed Skate so much. It's wild we didn't get a single new game, collection remaster, or even a basic port of the original trilogy during the PS4/XB1 generation.
Re: 'Genesis Does What Nintendon't': Sonic Racing Takes Shots at Mario Kart World
Good. Nintendo is garbage now.
Re: 'Finish Him': Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Launches 30th October on PS5, PS4
Any word on if those who bought the Kollecter's Editions will get a code in October so they can play?
Making people who spent more money on the product wait longer to play would be kind of a bummer.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Hollow Knight: Silksong?
Great/excellent in my opinion.
Really addictive and offers quite a challenge but overcoming the challenge is what makes it fun.
Also I find Hornet much more fun to play compared to the Knight from the original Hollow Knight.
Re: Review in Progress: Hollow Knight: Silksong (PS5) - A Silky Smooth Sequel Proving Well Worth the Wait
I don't think the Divekick/pogo mechanic requiring some patience is a bad thing.
To me it looks like Team Cherry intentionally wanted it to function the way it does so be different from the pogo mechanic in the first game.
Personally I love it. I like how you need to space it properly to get the results you want in any given situation.
Re: Scratch That Banjo-Kazooie Itch in PS5 Remake Yooka-Replaylee, Out in October
Honestly never understood the hate for the original PS4 version. I got it on launch and found it to be a good spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie.
In fact I like it better than Banjo Tooie, and we don't even need to talk about Nuts and Bolts.
Re: Skate's Free-to-Play Revival Rides into Early Access on PS5, PS4 in September
I miss Skate a ton and since it's free to play there's no harm in giving it a shot.
But if I have to pay money for a Baker/Deathwish deck I'm gonna be a little salty lol
Re: The Sheer Presence of Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Delaying PS5 Indie Games
@playstation1995 it'll definitely have more responsive controls lol
Re: Long Awaited Skate Reboot's Early Access Release Date Will Be Revealed Next Week
@Mr_Singh All of the decks, trucks, wheels, shoes, and clothes you want to put on your character probably cost money lol
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
Other than LoTF2 that was kind of a snoozer.
Re: 'Special' Hollow Knight: Silksong Announcement Set for Thursday
I'm sure the game will be good...but after waiting 8 years or so there's no way it's ever going to be good enough to feel like that wait was totally justified unless it is some kind of genre redefining masterpiece on a scale we haven't seen in years.
Re: Meltdowns on Social Media As Sony Markets Its Upcoming Xbox Port
I really don't see why anyone cares about stuff like this. So Xbox is getting Helldivers 2...so f****** what?
I just don't get it.
Re: Delayed Metal Gear Solid Delta Multiplayer Won't Support Crossplay on PS5, Xbox, PC
New big release games not launching with crossplay is weak. That's exactly why I didn't get Nightreign and ill be skipping this too.
It's 2025 and we're paying $69.99 + for these games. They should have crossplay.
Re: Action RPG Lords of the Fallen 2 Reveal Confirmed for Next Week
Definitely excited. I loved the last one even though it was a bumpy ride from launch to where it is now lol
Re: Clair Obscur Director Says Turn-Based JRPGs Are Still Seen as 'Uncool'
Personally it's not about cool or uncool for me. It's about fun and not fun.
Other than when I played Pokémon as a kid, I've never found turn based combat fun. It has nothing to do with coolness lol
Re: PS5 Sequel Darksiders 4 Has Online and Split-Screen Co-Op, By the Way
Just take my f****** money. I adore Darksiders lol
Re: Fans Think Ken's Ending in Fatal Fury Is Hinting at a New SNK vs Capcom
Dude CvS 3 would be a dream come true. Id much rather have that than Marvel Tokon/InvincibleVS/2XKO.
