In regard to the question, are we happy with the output? I voted no. I’m definitely not the main focus as a customer.

I wanted an Uncharted reboot or spinoff. That series is bigger than Nathan Drake.

I wanted either a reboot or sequel to Resistance.

I wanted Evolution to still exist and for there to be a new Motorstorm in the spirit of Pacific rift with all the offerings that come with a PS five.

I wanted either a sequel, or reboot of Infamous. I feel like there’s more stories to tell with that universe.

I wanted Days Gone 2.

I wanted a new Twisted Metal in the spirit of two or black.

I also wanted them to utilize some of the secondary Studios to achieve this but they’ve closed many of them down.

The PS5 generation is probably my least favorite PlayStation generation. It’s not bad though, just underwhelming compared to the other others.

The crappier discounts has been annoying as hell.

I don’t want their subscription service and i’ll just skip out on games.

They could give me a good discount and make a little bit of money off of me or they can keep it where it’s at and have nothing.

There’s been numerous games that I haven’t bought because I don’t think they’re worth what they’re asking for.

Though this statement definitely applies more toward games as a whole and not just PlayStation first party titles. There was someone that represented a 3rd party studio that talked about how they wanted their game to go on a steeper sale, but PlayStation wouldn’t allow it.

Just throwing it out there, I don’t mind paying full price for certain games. I paid full price for Saros, Pragmata, and 007.

Great.

I used to look through the store every single week, but after it started being filled with junk, I quit.

@BecauseBecause

I just watched the trailer for this and it’s not for me.

I’m not a big Point and Click fan, but Blazing Dragons is easily my favorite.

I enjoy multiplayer games but I don’t take many of them seriously and enjoy those that offer more to do than just shooting enemies.

I like that Fortnite has a wide variety of tasks available along with trying to win.

I feel the similar about Arc Raiders, but less so. When I play it, my focus is on my missions, collecting needed items, killing arcs and then, finally, engaging other players based on the situation.

I tried Marathon, and it was a fine game, but it didn’t grab me.

The competitive side of multiplayer shooters don’t do it for me like they use too. I’ve been playing them for decades and I don’t get the adrenaline rush from most of them like I use to. I can jump into COD, go 17-2 in TDM, and it does very little for me, and the experience Marathon offered wasn’t as appealing as Fortnite or Arc Raiders for me. Destiny and the Division were more appealing as well.

Very good month.

My kid and I loved Grounded when we played it on Xbox. The world was a joy to explore.

I have really enjoyed Saros and it’s an all around improvement to Returnal.

@tselliot I’ve witnessed across various sites and apps a lot of people coming at it with bigotry without ever even mentioning gameplay.

It’s likely due to that the Internet is made up of a lot of people that have different levels of bigotry and also bots programmed to do that as well.

It gets very tiring to see.

I get really tired these people cry about women and people of color and non-heterosexual people being represented in games and other forms of media.

Their whining and crying while acting tough is really old at this point.

I’m not even defending the game and I don’t know if I’ll ever play it. If I do play it, it’ll probably be when it’s dirt cheap or I get it Free on one of the subscription services.

I’m ready for it.

@AtlasLivesAgain What are the chapter packs then?

Well, I really enjoyed the base game. I’m just waiting on the expansion packs to go on a good sale.

Im interested but I definitely wanna wait for it to be on sale because I’ve already experienced this game years ago.

Factions along with Uncharted 2 are my favorite all time multiplayer games.

Unless I’m misremembering, I believe that one of the lead guys over that project recently stated they were one day away from revealing it to everybody, and then it got canceled.

It really shocked me to hear back then that Sony gave bungee the authority to strongly influence other games multiplayer when at that time I thought destiny two was pretty mediocre and to this day I think it’s just an OK game.

Hell for as new marathon is, I rarely even see it mentioned online anymore.

Well, I previously bought multiple PS5s and Series X’s to cover my family when GamePass was more affordable and they had exclusives. With the direction they took, I recently sold our Series X’s and bought another PS5 and regardless of what they do, I’m not buying back in.

If they want my money, they will have to continue releasing on PS consoles.

So, you spend an insane amount of money over 7 years for a project, it’s likely a year-ish away from release, decide to change course, and flush all of that down the drain?

It’s mind boggling to me how that is allowed to happen, but we’ve heard of Warner Brothers, completing entire movies, shoving them in the vault and then just writing them off as a failure.

It really makes me wonder if Sony gets some sort of huge tax breaks for doing something like this?

Well, I’m glad I’ve waited to play this.

Well, maybe these companies will try to reel it in regarding GaaS and return to the tried and true.

Ghost of Yotei Pro Ray Tracing mode now gets near 100FPS.

Star Wars Outlaws gets a big visual improvement.

Killing Floor 3 gets a visual improvement.

That’s all I’ve tested so far.

Off topic but I was already pleased with my Pro by being able to basically the the quality mode at 60fps for some games but the recent PSSR2 update is great. I’m running an LG C4 OLED tv.

Star Wars Outlaws and Killing Floor 3 get big visual improvements.

Ghost of Yotei’s Pro Ray Tracing mode now runs up into the 90s for frames. It’s so pretty.

RE requiem looked great.

I haven’t noticed anything in toxic commando that stands out to me.

That’s all I’ve tested so far.

@Fluberuper With Spider-Man it’s a pretty noticeable difference, considering you can see buildings reflecting other buildings and cars and people and objects and Spider-Man as well.

I hope this game delivers.

That was my GotY last year.

Ehh, i’m very stubborn and I think that it’s BS.

I’m very patient as well and if the games don’t get to a price that I like, I’ll just never buy them.

There was a game on PS3 called 1001 spikes I believe and I had a price that I wanted to pay for it and it never got to that point so I never played it.

The idea doesn’t hype me up but I’m fine with it, and most likely, I would be there day one just based on I’m a fan of their previous work.

@Archaeokaiser I’ve put six or so hours into it at this point. I’m just not a fan. I played it with a few friends and my kids and nobody’s excited for it.

I know some people don’t like it being compared to Arc Raiders but I feel like it kind of fits the timing in which we’re in. AR it’s just more exciting for me, You’ve got the elements of PVP and a decent variety of robots in AR, while in marathon. It’s just a few variations of soldiers and a exploding spider I believe.

If I had friends that really wanted me to get it, I probably would because I’m not too concerned about $40, but I don’t see that happening and for multiplayer I guess that upcoming John Carpenter game is the next one on my radar.

Im not a fan and vastly prefer Arc Raiders to it.

In general, Arc Raiders systems are better.

For a looter extraction shooter, there are many locations in marathon that are barren.

Arc Raiders has a separate system for XP for when you kill enemies or search things that contribute to the distribution of skill points. Their other system is the looting side of it, which goes toward crafting or collecting full pieces of loot, whether it’s weapons or armor.

Marathon has all the systems into just collecting items or collecting items for money. Arc Raiders systems help to make even the lesser systems feel somewhat enjoyable.

I could play a marathon if my friends really wanted me to buy it but on my own, I can’t see myself picking it up.

@Dogbreath To cover my family, I owned 2 PS5s and 2 Series X’s.

After they went third party, GP price increases, and my sub ran out last month, I sold both of my Xbox’s.

GP was cool, but not a need for me, and I’ll buy whatever Xbox game interests me on PlayStation. I’ll wait for sales as well.

There is just no great need to own an Xbox anymore.

I don’t see how they revert.

GamePass subs stagnated, sales dropped due to GP.

I truly believe the return on investment Xbox has made on its dealings in the past decade are way too slow and Microsoft is not happy with it.

GP stagnated, they raised the price to create more profit from their hardcore customers.

Sales declined, so they went third party.

I believe they are on a profitable path, but it’s slow. I believe they are good to try to run leaner and Microsoft’s total focus is recouping the money Xbox spent.

Though, I’m ignorant in this topic. I don’t work in finance.

I believe Microsoft will go even stronger in the direction they currently are and I also believe they’re going to try to run leaner.

I feel like even if it seems like a moderate success it’s not gonna be exactly what they’re looking for and they will probably start selling off companies to try to recoup some of what they’ve spent.

I don’t believe this is gonna happen soon, but I believe this is going to be the end result.

@GamingGod I’m right there with you.

The Motorstorm series is one of my favorite all time games.

I was pissed off then, and I am now.

That Jim Ryan run sure did some damage.

I love apps for when games have load times or in between multiplayer games.

For me it all comes down to the lack of first party output. So, I have little interest in a new system.

Hell, Insomniac has carried this gen for PlayStation.

I really enjoyed the first one.

This is a day one purchase for me.

That was easily the best show I’ve seen in years.

My kids and I are big fans of the little nightmares series,wasn’t a big fan of three and we tried the demo of this, but still had concerns about the end product.

I didn’t read the full review, mostly the synopsis at end because I don’t really wanna know details, but I liked what I read.

I plan on buying it this evening.

I just platinum’d it last week and I only do that for games I really enjoy and if they don’t waste my time with something crazy like collect 500 feathers.

The first 30% of the game had a good flow, it kinda slowed for the next 30%, and I absolutely enjoyed the last 40%.

When I got to that last 40, I was basically fully upgraded and was an absolute monster everywhere I went.

This past week, I read an article that stated that there were thousands of new steam games that didn’t even make back the hundred dollar requirement it takes to put a game on steam.

I’m just throwing that out there as a depressing fact.

I played the tutorial while my kids watched and it didn’t do anything for us. We deleted it afterwards.

@Deadlyblack My kid and I played it for a very long time. We will definitely be there day 1 for this game.

@Vovander Well, you just made me realize something. I’ve owned multiple PS5s and Series X’s to meet the needs of my family but with Xbox doing away with exclusives, my GP running out, and them increasing its price after taxes to $32.00 a month for me, I’ve sold my Xbox’s because I’ll play whatever they decide to release on PlayStation.

With that being said, I didn’t realize CR was an Xbox game or exclusive until now.

Hopefully it turns out well and I’ll get to play it someday.

Bioshock is one of my all time favorite games.

I hope the team can pull it off.

I’m very excited for Judas. It’s off topic, but I’m very excited for Clockwork Revolution as well.

It’s not for me.

I actually liked Concord.

Fantastic.

For a long time, I never missed going through the store once it updated. Now I rarely look at it and just wishlist most of my games after someone on various websites or apps mention or show a game.

Just imagine how long the PS5 could be supported.

Looked meh to me.

Arc Raiders and Helldivers are the best multiplayer games I’ve played in a long time and this kinda looks mediocre in comparison.

I played a lot of games this year and many that were technically better than it, but south of midnight is my favorite game of the year.

I played Destiny 2 when it first released and then stopped for years.

I returned months ago when the legacy collection was $17 so that my kids and I would have a new co-op game.

It’s been a decent experience. Fun overall but also feels very dated. I doubt that once we complete the DLC in that bundle that we will purchase anymore.

I believe, unless it’s is really paying off for them, they need to move on.

If it was mobile only, I wouldn’t care, but the fact that it’s on PC and not PlayStation is just really freaking weird.

I’ve said it before and I’m gonna say it again. The PS5 generation is a good one, but it’s easily the worst PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced. This just seems like a really bad joke.

@D6rkLordS6t6n it’s the best multiplayer game I’ve played in years.
