@HonestHick I've always defended marathons artistic approach and rock solid game play. I've never said its going to to be a massive seller or a platform defining title. Sure I'd love it to sell in the multiple millions just to shut all the nay sayers up but I knew right from the off it was a niche game and it wasn't for everyone so telling me you were right is a very moot point and is of no consequence to me. I'm still very much enjoying it as are the people I play with and obviously the people we encounter. I'm glad that yourself and the countless other people that were hoping this game would not meet expectations were proven right (in your eyes) so maybe you can all move on to your next inevitable target.

@wildcat_kickz I agree the game is very good and the gunplay is super tight but the overall cost is staggering.

As a new adoptee of vr I'd buy this day one if it has a vr mode.

I really liked this game. So did my puppy boz who ate my disc. My own fault for leaving the cabinet open whilst leaving the little s**t free to roam the room. I'll have to buy another copy.

@nomither6 well obviously we do every time we play. Not every pc gamer is going to upgrade all the time but there are those who have to stay current.

@Slayer25c this whole capitalism stiche is getting tiresome now. People complain about sonys greedy money grubbing shenanigans and how evil and nasty it is but still buy their consoles,games and other accessories as and when it suits them. PC gamers denounce the subscription models and will absolutely defend the free online play model whilst using their machines that drink electricity like its going out of fashion and spending god knows how much money to the evil tech over lords to keep their power houses up to date and ahead of the console peasants. I've just spent a lot of my hard earned cash on getting my sim rig to where I'm happy and being able to play one of my all time fave racing games at its absolute best fidelity and in VR too so if that means I've sold my soul (not sure I had one but hey) then it was a soul happily handed over. Off topic I know but it was irritating me somewhat.

So this topic came up in a conversation between myself and @Sanquine last night whilst playing our regular marathon session and I said I had no desire for this as a feature. I remember playing R63 Vegas on the xbox 360 with my friends and you could scan your face into the multiplayer component using the 360 camera. It was good fun for a while and seeing your friends faces as you were shooting them was a laugh. I remember one scanning a pic of spiderman which turned out surprisingly well and another had jenna jameson which was pretty disturbing on several fronts (yes those as well.) If gamers want this I don't see the issue and if you don't want it just don't use it. Is this where gaming is going where the vocally negative get to decide what features should be made available to those who want them?

@MrPeanutbutterz I use my T598 wheel on forza horizon 5 and the cars handle superbly. I only tried it using the pad briefly when I hurt my heel rather badly and couldn't use the accelerator pedal and it sucked big time but I put that down to not having any practice with it. Come to think of it I suck at all driving games that don't let me use my wheel.

I'm never..NEVER going to be able to play the horizon games again..cheers Sammy 😬

@get2sammyb oh the indignity of it..having to play the ps5 Pro version. However will you manage 🤣

@lacerz same here. Every time I start this game another game changing update is released forcing me to put off playing it through. Now I have my ps5 Pro I think it's time to play this as it was intended..

@Doomcrow don't forget eurogamer.

@lazarus11 I love marathon even though I'm not particularly great at it. Crimson desert is a great game too and there is no way on earth its a 6/10 game. It will out last marathon on my play list for sure.

@HonestHick I never experienced the yellow light of death. I've always preferred the xbox controllers to be honest. The offset analogue sticks always felt more natural and stiffer and I know you can get ps5 controllers that are similar but I'm not spending £200+ on a controller (says the man who bought a T598,racing frame,ps5 Pro and a psvr2 to primarily play one game.)

Oh dear..oh dear,oh dear,oh dear..

@nomither6 "but the xbox360 nearly outclassed it in all but raw power." And reliability. I've never had so many hardware failures as I did with the xbox 360. I still have one tucked away for those rare guitar hero sessions when we have get together and my wife does like her occasional dj hero moments but that's all it's good for.

@SMJ multiplatform? They just announced their plan to stop porting their first party games to pc. They don't have their games on xbox or Nintendo so how do you come to that conclusion?

"There I was minding my own business and along comes Jesus and says you're cured mate..bloody do gooder."

@Fluberuper don't encourage him for f**k sake.

Nothing for me this month. I already have lords of the fallen and I've zero interest in the other titles. Lords of the fallen is pretty epic so I'll add it anyway so I don't have to put the disc in.

@GuttyYZ awesome ill keep ab eye out later buddy 👍

@Pat_trick I think the devs are doing a top notch job of tweaking and fixing things that the community point out. I struggle to think of any other dev that's supported it's game in such a short space of time which shows me they care. The game appears to be complete in terms of content but needed a bit of spit and polish. I don't understand why people have an issue understanding the differences. I wasn't initially interested in CD but the more I read and the more vids I watched I thought I'd give it a go and I'm very glad I did. This and marathon are my two number 1 games of this year so far..what I'd give for CD to be vr enabled 🤣

@Slippship PMR has been drastically improved upon since launch. Its quite nice looking especially on the pro but it still needs a bit of tlc. Luckily my T598 wheel and psvr2 will work nicely on a PC and my laptop is good enough to play dirt 2.0 (just) so I might be tempted to purchase it via steam so I can go rallying in vr.

@Sanquine defo buddy..just message me when you are on.

@DrVenture69 I tried GT7 the other evening without the psvr2 on and I just could not overtake or hit the apex of the corner anymore. The immersion is obviously far superior using vr and now I'm struggling on the rally games 🤣. It's pretty cool playing dirt rally 2.0 via the headset even though its not vr.

@Boxmonkey I didn't bother swapping data over from my og ps5 as when I signed into my account on the pro I guess all my saves were cloud based because I just picked up where I left off. I'm loving my ps5 Pro and I hope you do too.

I'm playing crimson desert and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'll also be getting stuck into GT7 later using the psvr2 as it's just flipping mental. Vr racing has destroyed flat screen racing for me. Maybe some marathon if the guys are online. Have a great Easter weekend folks 👍

@KnightRider1982 ahhh yes I remember. I had that on the dreamcast and it was by bizarre creations if I remember correctly.

@KnightRider1982 midnight club dub edition?

@KnightRider1982 it's got me intrigued now. NFS heat was the only one that sprung to mind.

@KnightRider1982 need for speed heat? It had a day/night cycle with races restricted between the 2 modes.

@Slippship the main guys from slightly mad studios formed their own company and released project motor racing which is pretty good now but was in a bad state at launch. I played the latest version of this a few days ago and I was surprised at how much better it is now. One for the hard-core racers amongst us as its very difficult and unforgiving.

I love drive club. I was playing it recently using my T598 wheel and it's surprisingly really good with it too. It's a damn shame Sony never got behind evolution studios and supported them because drive club is one of the best racers around even though its servers have long been turned off. I feel that the loss of evolution and codemasters is one of the biggest losses to race enthusiasts and a real travesty. Sony and EA had the two best racing game studios and really shat the bed. Talk about pulling a Munson.

@SeanOhOgain they were taken in by codemasters who in turn were bought by EA and then right royaly shafted..

@lazarus11 I thought I'd better say as CD's story is a bit mind boggling too.

@lazarus11 it's quite an intriguing game and my comment directed to @Balaam_ was about marathon.

Actually a tough decision for me because I love marathon but I'm really digging crimson desert too. So I picked marathon because it's so easy to jump into each evening with the guys from pushsquare I team up with who I must say are all top geezers and really cool.

@Balaam_ there is a story that unfolds via the contracts and factions. Its quite obvious you haven't played it and are just forming your opinions on others and whatever negative YouTube videos you watch. Please play the game or just give it a rest.

Thinking out loud moment.."any feedback is unconstructive."

@AnginaPectoris I'm going a bit off topic here but over here in the UK if you pass away your next of kin get shaken down for unpaid debts. My mother passed a couple of years ago and we had to pay back her debt and the extra debt the council added via council tax they decided to charge her for a single person occupancy (it appears ghosts don't get a pass either.) Seeing as she was disabled and didn't pay council tax anyway it was quite a bizarre situation to be in. Anyway onwards and upwards just like the PlayStation price hikes 👍

@Oram77 at least you've set yourself a high bar..

@Stevemalkpus he very rarely makes any sense...

@lazarus11 just this once I decided to be quite selfish and put myself first.

@lazarus11 the 4 things I need..
1) a vr mode for dirt rally 2.0
2) a vr mode for EA wrc
3) a vr mode for EA's Road to the masters
4) still working on it

Christ on a moped it's this a**hole again. Why do pushsquare keep giving these irrelevant nobody's attention.

Balanced mode is good for me on the pro..base ps5 was not great when I compared them.

@Hyena_socks I recently bought a ps5 Pro and this game. I installed it on my ps5 Pro and then on my og ps5 and the difference is big. Usually I'd be the one saying its not that bigger difference but seeing both running in performance and balanced its quite jarring to be honest.

@ApostateMage "The loading screens are ridiculous but they should be very brief on the PS5." They should be non existent. If no man's sky can have travel between planets and different galaxy's without any loading screens then a company like Bethesda should have no problem achieving the same in this game. I feel I have to say that I'm not having a go at you here as I've always enjoyed your comments and your hard-core commitment to cyberpunk but you never know anymore if somebody feels attacked. Bethesda have become lazy and complacent like so many big devs as of late and it's great we have studios like arrowhead,embark and Pearl abyss that are actively listening and acting on player feedback to improve gamers experiences. Bethesda are stone cold deaf.

No man's sky is better and cheaper. Ps5 Pro enhanced and VR enabled..oh and zero loading after the initial boot up. Its just a massively better game.
