I also did not find the stealth to be an issue. The only issue that I have with every AC or Far Cry game is when I'm infiltrating an enemy camp and one stupid mistake causes the ENTIRE area to sniper-shoot me right in the head from across the map.

@BookhouseBoy

That's kind of what I said. My point is, that it can be done using patches and hotfixes but the developer needs to have the will and resources to do it and I don't think Ubisoft does. Massive Entertainment might have the WILL but Ubisoft certainly will not finance this beyond 4 or 5 months.

@BookhouseBoy

CDPR and Hello Games would disagree with you about how much can be fixed with patches. Both games had fundamental game mechanic problems that were fixed over time and are now considered best in class for their genre. However, I do not think Ubisoft is willing or able to spend that kind of money or time to improve this game to that extent.

I played the game and had a lot of fun while doing so, but some issues should have been addressed before launch. However, none of these issues "broke" the game, as some of the YouTube videos claim. I WISH I could have whistled from behind cover and taken out an entire squad of stormtroopers, alas, this did not work.

I hate having to click on a link to an X post. I would rather click on a catfishing link to a time-share scam, but I did it for you PushSquare.

Also, this Usyk guy seems rather chill for a blood sport combatant.

@Medic_alert

If you can't tell the difference now, just wait till you can't tell the difference on a PS5 Pro. (just jokes but I don't know how to do the winky face)

@SleeplessKnight @ZeroSum

Ya...what the heck is going on. Sorry Sony but I'm aboot to drop my gloves over this.

Game of the Year 2025 and 2026

Everybody who is mad about a remaster of Zero Dawn are the same people who would soil their pants if there were a remaster of Bloodborne.

I still cannot believe how many Switch units were sold. That looks like 55,000 Switches and 12,000 of every other system put together...insane! Unless I'm reading that wrong?

@Atreus97 @Gunnerzaurus

Get out of here with your Logic and Reason.

Only irrational hyperbole is allowed in discussions of the PS5 Pro

Finally, we get to see what the resource-wasting court case between Sony and Microsoft was all about. The fear Sony felt about almost losing this stupid franchise created a panic so large they changed their development cycle to accommodate. Man, do I ever hate Call of Duty!

Anyway, I'll contribute to the problem by playing it on Game Pass.

I want to be part of the conversation on all things gaming but there is a special feeling when you are actively part of the launch day celebrations. I don't know if it's worth 30 bucks to play 3 days early though. Knowing my luck my game would come late and I would have wasted the 30 on nothing.

Does anybody in Canada have it yet? Normally we get this stuff alongside or soon after the U.S. does but I am still without the feature.

@IntrepidWombat

People are allowed to have wrong opinions and can talk about those opinions wherever they want, it's just nice sometimes not to have to put up with all the silliness.

@DonJorginho

They can be salty as long as they don't come into the comments with their "hot takes" and "opinions". This game is getting universal acclaim from both critics and fans so whatever they have to say can stay in their head.

In order

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Fav Franchise)
Persona 3: Reload (Most Surprising)
Astrobot (Pure Bliss)
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (I didn't think I would but I did)
Zenless Zone Zero (Stopped but had fun at release)
Dungeons of Hinterberg (sneaky little Xbox game lol...)
Star Wars: Outlaws (guilty pleasure)

Metaphor: Refantazio - If from what I played in the demo, professional reviews and early player reaction is any indications this will probably be number one for me as soon as Canada Post gets their finger out of their arse...anyway it's exactly my kind of game.

There needs to be an option for:

"I would be but my pre-order is late and I am very disappointed"

Unfortunately, one of those million copies is being held hostage by Canada Post and won't be arriving until the 16th, can you guess which one?

I think it would have sold more if Xbox hadn't had exclusive marketing rights.

@Major_Player

You have finally done it. All these people saying this for a month, over and over again, on every post about the PS5 Pro, on every comment section across the internet has failed to convince me of PlayStation's folly. Thank YOU for finally saying what needed to be said, again, ad nauseem, forever and ever AMEN.

@Yagami

Mostly pushing back at a comment being hyperbolic and proving we can all say outrageous stuff that is merely mouth noises.

@Oram77

Miyazaki has made one game over multiple installments. His fan following, which is just because he makes his games hard and inaccessible to most gamers, is the real blind cult following.

@ShogunRok

Thank you for the answer. I may need to switch back and forth until I find the right vibe. But I will probably stick with the Japanese voice acting.

@ShogunRok

I have read that the Dub is so good it should be played in English. I usually play with subs for JRPGs but if the dub is as good as some say should I change?

Counting down the days for my collectors edition to arrive. Been keen on this game for so long it feels surreal to actually be watching a tracking number.

@NEStalgia

Ya...not a search for a public computer...lol...

I love my Tallneck model. It sits in my game room right beside my Playstation. I hope that if Lego does any other sets they will also be the 18+ adult models.

For me, a " Souls-like" or similar game needs an annoying parry/counter mechanic with such a small window that it is almost impossible for most players to do it properly.

Has anyone ever tried to draw a parallel with Salvador Dali and Hideo Kojima? It seems like both these artists have deep meaning hidden within surrealistic expression and a bizarre public persona.

I wasn't going to bother but I checked Best Buy in Canada and lo and behold, snagged one, now I need to have enough in my account come the beginning of November...lol...

Looks like everyone pretending this is a crappy upgrade tricked the scalpers into not wanting to get involved. Great job everyone, you can stop faking your hatred of the PS5 Pro now.

now I just need to find a disc drive for less than 200 bucks...sheesh...lol...

Didn't Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth already do this?

Intriguing story so far and enough combat changes to make it its own thing. I was already sold on this game 18 months ago but this demo has solidified my decision so I went out and changed my preorder to the Collectors Edition. This demo is a good tide-me-over until I get my copy in the mail.

Also, this should be the way all game companies promote games. Great info on exactly what you are getting and a 5-hour public demo 2 weeks before release to drag you into the plot and characters.

For those asking for the one-handed controller. I believe PlayStation is offering one!

https://www.playstation.com/en-ca/accessories/access-controller/

Aside from the disappointing graphical issues, of which there are many, this game is a decent action adventure. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom looks better on my 4K TV than this game does sometimes.

If this game had anything less than Eve as the main character it would not even have made the top 10 games of the year. I don't mind a bit of fan service myself, I am a human after all, but you will never convince me it would have sold as well with Aloy or Kay Vess as the lead.

If it were not for Eve and her outfits the game would have had the trifecta of modern video game deaths: "poor character design", "terrible writing", and so-called "wokeness".

Will I be able to buy this in a physical PS5 box with PS5 white branding?

@themightyant

The nice part is that when they ignore you, you no longer have to see their post. Its usually a Win/Win

I would like to know how people can be burned out over a game with 2 entries when they are begging for 5th and 6th entries into other franchises. I can't wait for the 3rd chapter in the series and the final battle with Nemesis.

Run a lottery. Anyone who wants one puts their name in and the first 12,500 names to be called have 48 hours to purchase their system, if they fail to do so then the next batch of names is called.

I am hoping for anything that will stop everyone from complaining for, like, 5 min...is that too much to ask?

I think at this point we could get a:

1) BloodBorne remake/remaster/sequel
2) 5 new PS studio games all coming 2025
3) A $100 price drop for the PS5 Pro as an apology
4) A $100 price drop on PSVR with 3 new PS studio games
5) A custom face plate shop like Vans has for sneakers
6) PSN price drop
7) Backwards compatibility for all physical media
8) Every feature for the PS5 UI that anyone has ever begged for
9) A new cloud streaming/storage-based handheld

...and most people would still cry that there isn't a new <insert random old franchise here> game.

@Ryne-Gaia

It says that its after Gaiden and before Infinite Wealth

@__jamiie

Nobody is claiming a giant leap, we are saying there is a very discernable difference to the good. Like a veil has been lifted from the image and we can make out finer details.

@RubyCarbuncle

Last word much. This is exactly what I am saying. Act abrasive and people match that vibe and give it right back. Not fighting on the internet starts with YOU...lol...

@RubyCarbuncle

I don't think it's the opinion. What I have found in my experience is that it is the TONE.

Like most people, my first Persona game was 5. I loved it, so I looked into the older games but for me OLD GAME IS OLD. So I left them. Fast Forward to Persona 3 Reload, all fancied up for my shiny PS5. So that could be one reason, people want to play a game they missed with the latest features and enhancements.

Another example would be Mafia (the first one) I never got around to playing it but I would have never played it on the old hardware but with its new graphical update and reworked cut scenes I played a great game for the first time. I would never have played it otherwise.

@RubyCarbuncle

The vast improvement IS the increase in fidelity, FPS and ray tracing. It's almost like you naysayers are WILLFULLY ignoring the differences just to be sour grapes. There is also twice the hard drive space. So ya those are the differences...oh ya...and racing stripes...vroom vroom.

To everyone complaining about a white disc drive. It states in both the article and in the direct that there will be a matching cover for your future disc drive on both the PS5 Slim Digital and the PS5 Pro. It will be in the box an it will all match. Sony may want way more money than most of us have, but they DON'T miss details like this.

@BearFut_1800

package comes with a matching plate for the disc drive expansion.

I did not read all the comments so if its been said already I'm sorry, but the port beggers and Bloodborne stans on here forget one franchise that actually needs a remake/remaster/reboot:

inFamous.

A remake of 1 and 2 a remaster of Second Son and a reboot with a new game. I know we really want that Ghost of Tsushima 2 but can't Sucker Punch do both.
