I’m a sucker for pretty games, so I’ll boot it up to see what PSSR has done. I’ll start a new play through and go for an hour. Then delete to make room for GTA pre-load.

@Oram77

They do? This is good news, as that’s right where I am - failed on 2nd stage of boss I started fighting (Hunt). Yes – I am very early in the game. However, I have failed at every other souls like game I have attempted (Demons Souls, Elden, Ring, Wuchang Fallen Feathers) to play. I know this isn’t one, and that’s why I picked it up! Yes, I suck. It is incredibly time-consuming for me to attempt to even git gud even a little bit. I’m having a really good time with this game though! I am playing on the easiest mode. If I can play and enjoy this game, there’s no reason why anybody can’t.

Oh man! Making me have to choose between Phantom Blade Zero and Galactic Racer is just sinister!

@ShadowRJ

Why is this noteworthy? Are there any actual data to support this? Do you make a similar comment about the distribution of sales of CoD for western markets?

@Czar_Khastik

Dude - I answered your sarcasm with more sarcasm. I didn’t think you needed me to add the /S.

@Czar_Khastik

You shouldn’t let that stop you! Everybody here already believes you are cheap.

Not a chance. Was a slog 1st time through. Never want to go back to this game again.

@A-steak-with-ketchup

“So I guess compare God of War 2018 or Spider-Man and see how many consoles they moved over Wolverine and I’m sure it’s 100x as well.”

Aren’t those PS4 games? Also - Wolverine released near the tail end of a generation that’s sold 95+ million consoles. I’m betting a not a small percentage of copies sold went to people who already own the console. Seems weird to claim Wolverine’s success can only be measured by consoles it moved.

I also believe this is just a weird year. I don’t think any data of PS5s or even Xboxes sold since the GTA VI release date announcement can be accurately assessed. It is the wild card. I think people started buying consoles as soon as that date was locked in and will be doing so through at least Q1 of next year.

@A-steak-with-ketchup

Maybe you should stop eating at McDonald’s and try a real hamburger! No need to throw burgers under the bus.

@Colour

Actually they already are. There have been lots of communities who have passed local legislation to disallow the building of data centers. I expect that to become a trend.

The combat is fun but man, the cutscenes and voice acting leave a lot to be desired.

Waiting for a Black Friday discount. And have been since its first trailer.

"People have a need to collect."

No, they don't. They have a desire to collect.

@belmont

"Also, PC is better for long term preservation."

Whenever I read any argument akin to this, I can read "preservation" but my mind always translates the word to "piracy".

@Cerny

Elden Ring for Switch 2

@DartLOD

lol! Yeah – pretty sure he is talking about you. Pretty interesting too that you chose to use the last Indiana Jones movie rather than the last Indiana Jones video game for your comparison. I wonder why? Also, that movie sucked because of the script – not because of the cast.

@GamingGod

Why would they do that when all signs point to neither of those options having physical media in the next generation?

I preordered the 1st one. $10 - can play it on the go. I really enjoyed it back upon release. Another play through is just about due.

Just finished this game today! Truly an excellent experience. Fabulous follow up to Tsushima.

@Deadlyblack
“ Honestly it's a good thing that Insomniac will patch in an option to turn it off completely, the game is linear and it doesn't really need a big blue trail directing players.”

Exactly! And that is what I am waiting for to buy the game.

@KundaliniRising333

“...especially considering the discourse and streamer-verse reception of it.”

I think you’re seriously overestimating the effect this will have on overall sales of this title.

@8th_Observer

THANK YOU! I hope all of the reviewers who have nailed this game for its over reliance on hand holdiness will update their reviews and videos to include this information indicating that all of this stuff is selectable. I specifically remember watching skillups video where he basically indicated that there were no options to change those settings. I'm sure they'll all get on it right away. Honestly, if that's something that can be toggled off, I fail to see how it's an issue?

It feels like there's such a movement to hit Sony at every possible chance that people are losing their objectiveness. That makes me sad. So tired of all of the "no disc no by" on everything. I mean, I get it. I understand and even sympathize with the sentiment, but when it hurts developers who don't deserve that hate because none of them have been involved in that decision, that bugs me. Honestly? I've purposely played my PS5 Pro a whole lot more ever since the "blackout" just because I'm tired of all of the ludicrous unhinged shenanigans.

Sorry - I rarely ever rant. I'm going to go now and pre-order the Deluxe Edition of Wolverine.

@8th_Observer

Seriously? I was waiting for an answer to this question. Where did you find it?

Wow. Embarrassing is definitely the right word.

Honestly, would this not have been the right IP to try and make a live service game???

@HonestHick

“Sony games have the least amount of gameplay for me. Some games are literally 2 buttons and cutscene's.”

Which ones?

How high school of them.

@Ashkorsair

Agreed. This is one of the most hare brained ideas I’ve seen from the gaming “community” in a long time.

Must...not...give in...to hype...wait...for...sale.......

I’m not sure what good waiting does. Prices are not forecasted to decrease on components in the near (or even distant) future.

The longer they wait, the older hardware gets. It’s not like they’re going to be changing the specs at this point.

RDJ as Iron Man? Heath Ledger as the Joker? I’ll show myself out.

@get2sammyb

No. I think it certainly will be affected. But if the cost of it still remains 40 to 50% less than a PS6, it’s going to be a big factor for Sony to try and overcome. I mean, we’ve hit the point where a portable device can provide graphics and performance that is satisfactory for most gamers (not the gamers necessarily who visit websites like this).

I love my PS5 Pro! But right now I’m absolutely loving Splatoon Raiders and Donkey Kong Bananza. Cyberpunk, Outlaws and AC Shadows are excellent on S2 as well. Not my bag but I understand the Capcom games on S2 are pretty good also.

Point is - a $500 console is providing a more than adequate gaming experience for me right now. I doubt I’m alone. That’s the competition for PS6. Interesting times ahead.

FINALLY! Offering solutions instead of, well, you know...

IOW - "We really don't know what the hell we're doing!"

And the tantrum continues...

Something something digital joke something clever something something.

I'll take periodic breaks from Splatoon Raiders to check out the news on Wolverine & Laufey.

Can’t wait for the next showcase!

Hope this sees the light of day.

Outrage on the Internet without a good basis in fact? Say it isn’t so!

@Foxhound

You can plug in on the plane. They had both a USB and standard 3 prong outlet. The USB is barely useful though, as the S2 draws more quickly than it can charge. It slows down the drain - but does not eliminate it (or charge, obviously) It probably would have sufficed, but the easy option is to just plug it in the 3 prong.

@datamonkey

I’m hoping they do exactly this. I just took my Switch 2 on a plane trip and man - that was awesome! I generally hate flying but killing 3.5 hours of a 4 hour flight playing Rise of the Tomb Raider had me singing a different tune.

How do those numbers compare to the last year of the PlayStation 4 before the launch of the PlayStation 5? I am curious as to whether the numbers are similar knowing that a new machine is likely on the horizon.

@nomither6

I don’t care about the console war stuff, but you’re first 2 sentences are right on the money. XBOX has never recovered from that fiasco.

@Skinny-Pete

What is this “fair” you keep speaking of? Where do you get the idea that you are entitled to receive a certain price on any consumer good? What is this world you live in???

Finally! My revenge for stealing Bungie from Mac is coming to fruition. Yes. I know how to hold a grudge.

There is nothing to fear about AI. It is an incredibly powerful and effective tool for solving all kinds of human problems.
