@DonkeyFantasy Normally I would agree about pre-ordering, but with prices on the rise, it's entirely possible this game will bump up to $79.99 at some point. Just 5 years ago it would have been unthinkable for consoles to go UP after years on the market, but here we are. Add in the Orange Menace and his unpredictable, and very infuriating, trade war and there is a very solid argument to be made about preordering immediately to lock-in the lower price.
I just bought this a couple weeks ago on sale for $41. I initially skipped it since I'm feeling pretty over soulslikes, or just anything uber difficult. But man the action looked super slick and I couldn't kick the urge to try it. And I'm glad I did!
This doesn't play anything like a souls game, and although it's tough, I don't find it nearly as aggravating as soulslikes. I even got lucky enough to get past the helicopter boss on my second try. Even The Wall only took me 4 tries.
I'm about to do the Balteus mission though, so I may change my mind after that lol. We'll see, but so far I love the hell outta this game.
Summer is the WORST for gaming. Last big release comes out in June, then nothing much until late August. July is the absolute worst month for gaming.
So, my summer gaming habits are to re-download and re-play a bunch of ***** I already played to death, only to get immediately bored and delete it again. Rinse and repeat until late August when new games come out.
@Greifchen I plan to get Rise of the Ronin first and wait for DD2. The news of the uncapped framerate has me thinking it will run like crap (on PS5) until it gets a few (dozen?) patches.
@FX102A Yeah, this absolutely smacks of WB wanting that sweet, sweet live service income stream.
Gamers aren't the focus of game development anymore, shareholders are. And shareholders simply cannot resist trying to get a piece of that live service pie.
Every time I see stuff like this in live service games, I get a little more pissed off. No time to address on-going issues (the rampant smurfing problem in this case) but all the time in the world to make changes that reduce the fun and increase microtransactions. F*ck you, Psyonix.
So, I just tried turning off auto-renewal for the GTA+ sub I just got 3 days ago, and I ran into 2 problems. First, the sub doesn't even show up in the list of subs on the PS5 (even though I 100% have it).
Even weirder, it DOES show up on playstation.com, but when I try to turn off auto-renew it says "Your subscription status hasn't changed. Try updating it again in a few moments." I've tried many, many times...but the same error every time. Seems like this coule be an unintentional side effect of whatever they blocked.

Re: Prototype Remaster Could Potentially Be Happening, Evidence Found in PC Version
@AhmadSumadi Agreed! Part 2 is definitely superior. I'd prefer a Prototype 3 the most! Or at least a full ReMAKE.
Re: Rumour: To Avoid Even More PS5 Price Increases, Digital Edition to Get Reduced SSD Space
It's not that strange when there's a madman running the US that decided to impose huge tariffs on the entire world.
If you're b*tching about the price increases without screaming about tariffs, then you don't know jack.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.2 Out Now, Improves Horses, Item Selling, PS5 Pro's Graphics
@wildcat_kickz Same here! But I'm confused by this one:
"Uncapped the Hideout to above 30 FPS on Performance mode."
Does that mean it's still locked to 30 in Balanced Mode? I was hoping it would be 40 like the rest of the game.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Lowers PC Requirements, Probably a Good Thing for PS5 Performance
@HotGoomba Nope.
Resolution Mode: 3840 x 2160 (3072 x 1728) 30FPS w/ RT
FPS Mode: 3840 x 2160 (1920 x 1080) 60FPS no RT
Balanced: 3840 x 2160 (2496 x 1404) 40FPS w/ RT
I'm sure there will be dips, but you're grossly exaggerating.

Still down for me in Florida. And I just signed out and back in but that did not work.

@LiamCroft I love upgrading to the PS5 version and watching a bunch of trophies pop when I fire it up.
