Theres not been anywhere near enough current gen games to push the existing PS5 to its limit like we were getting at this point with the PS4, so im probably unlikely to ever buy one unless my OG Chonky 5 gives up the ghost
Wild to me that we talking about a PS5 Pro when we barely even have a handful of PS5 only games, I'd understand it if these games were pushing the PS5 games to their limits, but none of them have even tickled its capabilities yet.
As soon as the price went up the quality of games plummeted! A dreadful month esp for December when lots of shiny new playstations will be getting unwrapped.
Great console no doubt, but cross gen games are really holding it back from its full potential now, it needs to stop. I want to see more PS5 only games next year and to see how far it can be pushed.
This whole situation is so sad, and so anger inducing. I havent really played since Lightfall, mainly because it was pretty dreadful and I was tired of all the grinding the game expects you to do, I've finally broken the habit, and this comes along and only re-inforces that choice.
I feel dreadful for all the people laid off, for all the people demanding changes but to go un-noticed and now kicked out because of the managements greed and ignorance, would have loved to have seen the game to its endpoint in Final Shape, but I just cant spend another pound or any of my time with it again, it feels grubby and it feels gross.
Their reputation and their game is now in the gutter, very hard to see how they come back from all of this.
If this..thing can sell out in Japan, imagine what would happen if they made a portable gaming machine, c'mon Sony, invest all that wasted Live Service money into developing a proper portable instead, absolutely easy money for them!
Why do UBI always seem to employ the most lifeless, emotion-free voiceovers for the trailers, this one sounds like a depressed Alexa.. anyways very much looking forward to this on Thursday, hopefully a nice pallette cleanser for the series after the painful slog of Valhalla.
I fear the worst for Fall Guys, still enjoy playing it with friends and having a drunken laugh trying to even make sense of the chaos unfolding around you.
Full proper Live Service games are at their max capacity, there is literally room for no more. I think the only way forward for Live Service will be things like Gran Turismo, Or AC Valhalla, big single player games that get updated with new live content over a period of 3/4/5 years.
A lot of people might end up missing him I think if the right person isnt put in place of him. I didnt think he was a very personable CEO, but I suppose its not his job to be, its only an added bonus. He's said some utterly baffling things over the years, but he's been more often good for the brand than not.
I hope Cerney gets the job, he's got the knowledge, experience, is a gamer, and is pretty much well liked by everyone.
I give 7. Great Kombat, Beautiful Kombat but the lack of single player stuff is a massive bummer. Invasions is dull and Its just tooooo grindy and I absolutely cannot be bothered with overly grindy games of any kind anymore, lifes too short, games too many.
@ShogunRok Dont think People are really saying that at all, no doubt its a grand list of games, but these aren't "playstation" games like the headlne infers, barring one game these are all being released on Xbox, PC, Switch and most of them are still being released on last gen as well. People are just poking fun of that really, and also Sony have been V quiet on the 1st party front for next year and beyond, which is unusual really.
I would prob give it an 8, but the review is pretty much where Im at with it. Invasions is tedious and dull, and im already struggling to want to keep playing it, I really would rather have had the Krypt, it feels more in keeping with the games tone than a weird board game-esque thing.
Also the less Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade the better, there are far more interesting and exciting characters to be found than these 2 most obnoxious Yay America! Cringe Quip commentary sterotypes.
@LifeGirl Good grief.. no there does not need to be a trigger warning! As dreadful as the incident was, the only people it affects are the families of those involved and nobody else, and im fairly confident the last thing on their minds is a low budget indie game that involves a submarine.
Im still baffled that you cant use Sonys own Top of the range wireless headphones with the PS5, I have the WF-1000XM4 earbuds and it would have been pretty nice to be able to use them while gaming.
That last patch pretty much killed me and my friends playing of it, we went from playing every night and weekends to just abandoning it after playing post patch. Cant see any of us going back to it for quite a while!
Dreams really is at Deaths Door bum tish Dreams should have been given away right at its launch, it might've stood more of a chance, so giving it away while its just about to have servers chopped is an odd move.
Looking forward to trying PGA though, the PGA games used to be the game that me, my brother and parents would all play on a weekend back in the PS2 days.
This whole thing made me genuinely LOL, The sullen faces, all dressed in black, the whole serious atmosphere, the OTT reactions from the players..like a demented Scandi Noir drama and all this over a patch LOL Buffs and Nerfs are nature of the beast when it comes to live games.
Madness, we literally have a handful of true blue PS5 games, and they've maybe not really pushed the PS5 as far as it can go, The PS4 had a solid catalogue of PS4 only games when the Pro came out, so I could see the point of it, esp as some of those games were pushing the limits of a PS4 standard.
To me it just seems like greed and a massive smack in the face to everyone whose finally been able to get one after 2 years consistently low availability, and im assuming 4K 60fps with Raytracing as standard would be the main push, but I dont think that will justify the price they would presumably ask for it.
Just seems like the wrong time imo, gives off bad vibes really.
Hands up who guessed that most big PS5 games would come in at £52ish LOL my wallet is absoultely fine in this "mega sale" PS Store has a problem, their sales are now dreadful, predictable and full of the same games rotated in a 6 week cycle.
They are always the same price on sale, and theres very rarely any big surprises you might find to tempt you, its same old,.same old.
Gotta make that room for even more womens clothing! Also kinda sad, that the only physical place left you can buy physical games is Game or Cex and well....
Its absolutely dreadful, a complete shambles of a game. Idea is fun, but its just terrible and I dont think x amount of patches will make this game anywhere where it needs to be. Expensive junk-ware!
