Yeah, it most definitely doesn’t play graphically like that unless you have an outdated set up. I play on Quality PS5 slim 4k w/VRR 120hz and all those other optimizers and am hitting close to 60fps and it looks phenomenal.
Looks as phenomenal as ever. I’ve been looking forward to their follow up for some time and planned on day 1, however Crimson Desert has unexpectedly absolutely hooked me and there is no way I’ll have that Platinum come Saros release. The second I do though, will promptly get after it!
“Personally, we reckon Square Enix needs to drop decades of baggage and start over. Ditch the complicated numbers, shed as much of its history as possible, and start over.”
Welp, I just spent 2 hours figuring out a random puzzle maze thingy buried deep within an icey mountain that I only came across bc I saw a small flicker of a flame burning off in the distance late at night through the storms. This game is the epitome of “oh what’s that shiny thing over there?! Surely I must investigate, surely!” 😅
Every time I’m away, I’m thinking about it. The sense of discovery is so damn enjoyable and reminds me of why I love games. The pure imagination at play and on display with this one is beyond welcomed. Gonna be lost in this game for the foreseeable future.
Absolutely loving my time with it so far, despite its issues. The map crash definitely got on my nerves, but thankfully that was fixed within 48 hours, which is incredibly impressive these days. Haven’t had any visual issues, but my set up supports 120Hz, which, if yours does, you want to leave that “ON.” I play in balanced with VRR and it’s kinda amazing ngl. Haven’t done any main quests outside of the intro, I’ve been mainly going from region to region to defog the map and get distracted by the random shiny thing over there time after time again. Seriously, It’s extremely easy to get distracted in this thing, and I mean that in the best possible way. They seem to genuinely be on top of things and want to keep working to make it better, and I’m here for it.
Oh, Sammy?! Say it ain’t so?! Won’t someone please think of the children?! But seriously, no one actually gives a *****, outside of a very specific (very small, some would say micro in size even) emotionally challenged group of always-online keyboard warriors ready to white knight and appear virtuous while being anything but IRL.
Returnal was/is perfection to me and easily my favorite exclusive to date, very much looking forward to Saros. Hopefully, it’ll retain its spirit and not be too dumbed down. Its difficulty and fear of starting all the way back over, combined with the sheer intensity of it all, is what really helped it separate itself from the pack. Twas pure gaming bliss.
Good lord, y’all are really clinging onto anything you can grab in order to be negative towards this one, while the likes of Concord, Marathon, Highguard, GoY, Vielguard, Ex Voto, AC Shadows etc you were and are always constantly reaching for the tiniest of silver linings to pass anything off in a positive light. The gaslighting on this one has been wild to see, so silly.
Day one for me. The only opinion I worry about is mine, and I will decide when I personally get to check it out. Admittedly, it’s weird how up in their feelings some are over what people choose and choose not to do. This is Push though, so the demo checks out.
After watching the DF video, I am legitimately considering picking up a Pro. I honestly assumed I’d get one around the time GTA drops, but with this and Saros around the corner, it’s becoming extremely difficult keeping my wallet at bay. Ugh.
Didn’t the ESRB already do this some time ago? Yeah, this is literally a giant nothing burger. I can’t remember the last time ratings had any semblance of meaning or change.
Purchasing skins in an fps is definitely a choice. I was blown away when I checked the PSN store and saw all those insanely priced mtx bundles, could’ve fooled me it’s not a free to play title.
Never thought I’d be admittedly “whatever” about a Wolverine game, but here we are. Hopefully, it’s not another SM2, but Insomniac is a shell of its former self, so we’ll see.

Re: PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Appears to Extend to the US Now
I mean, just make the purchase when the price is right for you and yourself. That said, this practice is still straight trash of them.

Re: Saros Dev Explains How the PS5 Game Is More Approachable, Customisable Than Returnal

I don’t really watch anime but will definitely be checking this out, one of my all time favorite games.
Re: 'An Even Smoother Experience': Developers Chime in on PS5 Pro's PSSR 2 Update
Genuinely debating on getting a Pro, but given PS6 isn’t too far away, seems somewhat fruitless.
Re: Crimson Desert PS5 Trophies Leak, and They're Basically Nonsensical
Admittedly was hoping the list would’ve been as large as the game, all good though, still crazy hyped.

Re: PS6's Rumoured Portable Could Be in Your Hands as Early as Next Year
With how great the Portal has become, I genuinely don’t see much reason I’d rush out for one. Especially prior to PS6.
