I feel like I’m one of the few who is very underwhelmed by gow. The pace just feels so slow and it doesn’t feel as good as the first to me. Still an 8 out of 10 for me, by no means bad, but doesn’t feel game of the year quality to me like Elden ring.
Prob my favourite generation, with things like move, wonder book etc there was still experimentation and innovation. Things have felt a bit too streamline in gaming over the last 2 gen
At the moment I have a preorder of the headset but need to see if some existing games get updates/patches as I don’t think can justify price just for star wars
@Max_the_German that was 100% all it was ever going to be, strip a few weapons and armour, maybe a haircut out the main game , deliver it over a number of weeks as free dlc and see the goodwill roll. However they balls the launch up so much they couldn’t really do that.
@LifeGirl I think the rip off part of it is that Sony won’t commit to what you get. Which is my biggest concern of most plus, “give us your money and we might give you something back”
@Athrum if it’s a smooth 60 I’m excited for that. It was pretty choppy and buggy when first came out so if can get a fast loading smooth experience then I’m in to replay.
It’s very worrying to have a service with no commitment on what will be added/maintained. But Sony have been this way for a while. How is there not even a fixed day for these updates? It’s mental.
I would love this but the price is too high to gamble that there will be enough games to justify. I love VR 1 but neck injury often ends up a problem with the weight of it that I don’t use enough to say that’s a good price.
Quality of the game is most important but when I have the choice of slightly better graphics and 60fps I pick 60. And to be honest, looking at the games that have been able to hit 60fps the only excuse seems to be either a lack of talent or lack of effort.
@Juanalf that’s surely the point of plus though isn’t it? The only negative I’d give is it’s very late to the party for it. However I got the dlc for a fiver in the sale so no complaints
I think it’s a shame as a little success may have helped push the tech forward. That said, as with many others I want to own what I buy, and even though it’s consumer friendly to refund it’s a travesty that this all just disappears and a stark reminder as to why to stay away from this kind of thing.
@thefourfoldroot1 well if the PSVR 2 is compatible with PSVR games then it lowers the barrier for entry. And I’m sure Sony could have an emulation mode on the device so it’s not down to devs to pulsate them. What I think is key is they should announce one way or another. It was a mistake for Sony to allow so much speculation on ps3 backwards compatibility with the ps5 when one comment could have clarified it early.
@tameshiyaku maybe those of us with a longer memory remember Witcher 3 wasn’t in the best condition at launch. Or Witcher 2 launch was a bit of a train wreck. I didn’t have the first from launch but believe it took the enhanced edition to get it decent. Don’t get me wrong they’ve always made it right in the end but don’t have the best track record.
I wonder if people would care so much if pt wasn’t so awesome, the last few released games haven’t set the world on fire. Although I was a big fan of the first 4
@Smash41 I remember the early days of plus where the eu update was the first Wednesday of the month but the US one was the first Tuesday, that was until Wednesday was the first of the month and we were told we had to wait till after the Americans. The outrage that month.

Re: Future DC Games Will Connect to the DCEU, Confirms James Gunn
Maybe some games but seems quite limiting. I’d rather the games be based on the comics.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Adds that Weird Nilfgaard Armour from the Netflix Show
I don’t mind the Netflix stuff as options, the show was good but the games better, they shouldn’t try and copy the show.
Re: Ys 8 Back on PS Plus Extra After Backend Issues Are Solved
I don’t even slightly believe the back end issue excuse, more like hoped to get away with it but got caught.
Re: It Only Did Everything, Follow Up to Vita Means Life, Will Chronicle the Glory Days of the PS3
@Uncharted2007 I regret every trade in I’ve ever done lol, man I wish I still had my GameCube.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's New Patch Brings a Visual Boost on PS5
@KaijuKaiser with dead space being remade does that mean it was a waste playing on ps3
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Version Releases 14th December, Details and Gameplay Coming Next Week
@Athrum if it’s a smooth 60 I’m excited for that. It was pretty choppy and buggy when first came out so if can get a fast loading smooth experience then I’m in to replay.
Re: PS Plus Premium Members Bemused by Sony Once Again
@Robinsad side note, this is a great month for content, ps3 support is what I’m looking for, but it doesn’t change my views on their tactics.
Re: PS Plus Premium Members Bemused by Sony Once Again

Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Reviewer Threatened Over Lower Score
@RobN fully agree, I expect I’ll love it but doubt it will be a 10 for me, but who cares?
Re: PS Plus Premium Gets Five Ratchet & Clank Games on 15th November
We’re these not there already? Or did they remove them so could make a fuss out of adding them like sly?
Re: The New Witcher Trilogy From CD Projekt Red Has Found Its Director
If it’s not Geralt it’s not really the Witcher for me.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Lose Five PS4 Games on 15th November
They’ll prob end up on regular ps plus in December.
Re: PSVR2 Launches 22nd February 2023, Costs $550
I would love this but the price is too high to gamble that there will be enough games to justify. I love VR 1 but neck injury often ends up a problem with the weight of it that I don’t use enough to say that’s a good price.

I’d like to play 1
Re: Dissect the Brutality of Great Horror in The Callisto Protocol Docuseries
All the content on this this week has made me bite the bullet and pre order. It’s looking great.
Re: Support to End for F1 Manager 2022 Less Than Two Months After Launch
It’s not like the game is being shut down, ideally when a game comes out it needs no support, at least you know what you are getting with this.
Re: The Witcher Remake Announced, Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5
@Ralizah the second one still looks gorgeous on a good pc I think, just needs a rerelease on consoles
Re: Star Wars Eclipse 'Controlled Leak' Was Reportedly Intentional, Meant to Gauge Interest
I’m interested in Quantic dream trying Star Wars but really not interested in the “high republic” setting. Tough one.
Re: Fallout 4 Gets Free PS5 Update in 2023, Includes Creation Club Content
@Fenbops well Sony charge for upgrades, Microsoft give them free. So charging must be the right option.
Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Confirmed for 2023 Release, Includes Creation Club Content
I couldn’t get into fallout 4, Been a big fan since the first one but it just didn’t feel like fallout anymore
Re: Sony Seemingly Scraps PS Plus Game Expiry Dates
God forbid the consumer wants to plan, wouldn’t want the company to commit to what they are selling you.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Quality of the game is most important but when I have the choice of slightly better graphics and 60fps I pick 60. And to be honest, looking at the games that have been able to hit 60fps the only excuse seems to be either a lack of talent or lack of effort.

Re: CDPR Just Announced Two New Witcher Games
You hope they’d have learnt from cyberpunk but it doesn’t seem so
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2022?
@Juanalf that’s surely the point of plus though isn’t it? The only negative I’d give is it’s very late to the party for it. However I got the dlc for a fiver in the sale so no complaints
Re: Once Considered a PlayStation Competitor, Google Stadia Is Shutting Down

@UltimateOtaku91 id play that. Although sounds like stroke the dog territory.
Re: Video: Here's Why The Last of Us: Part 2 Is Better Than Part 1, But It's Nothing Without It
Gameplay is potentially a little better in 2 given tech advances but story and impact of 1 is far far better
Re: PSVR2 Isn't Backwards Compatible with PSVR Games, Sony Confirms
The bottom line is, lack of backwards compatibility put me off getting it day one, prob will for a lot of people too.

Re: The Witcher 4 Will Kick Off a Multi-Game Saga, Says CD Projekt RED
For me a Witcher game needs to be about Geralt, if it’s not it may well lose me.
