99% of my games have been digital since PS4. I knew this day would come eventually. Hoping for a disk drive for my 4K Blu-rays but if not I'll just get a stand alone player. If they fully commit to selling codes on multiple store fronts then it's a bit better.
What I don't get it's the amount of "I'll just go to PC" like that hasn't been digital since early 00s. Yeah it has multiple ways to get digital but everyone gets it from Steam or pirates it.
I'll repeat what other people have said. I feel sorry for the Devs, it would of done pretty well on PS. This exclusive strategy isn't going to pay off for them. When game pass numbers don't go up and sales for the game aren't great, they will probably change their minds again. I said the same thing on Mattyplays video with everyone saying "We are soooo back". I mean come on man!
See how it pans out. It'll probably reach Returnal numbers eventually. I'm loving it and never really got into these kind of games before. I bought Hades 2 and will give Returnal another try after I finish this.
Saros. It's beautiful, I'm not very good at it but its pure gameplay. Need to support Housemarque and Sony single player games in general. I've finished Pragmata and just like Saros it's a proper videogame
Looking at this thread I think I'm in the minority. I always connect my Pro to the internet. I'm at a holiday lodge now for the week and the first thing I do is set up the PS to the TV and connect to internet.
I have bought it and maybe played an hour. I think I'll hold of a while. Controls do seem off, took me ages to try and descend a ladder. There's a lot to play at the moment and this month. I'm in no rush
Always bought Sony tech. Mainly TVs and sound systems. Current have the X95L with Bravia soundbar, sub and rear speakers. I hope they carry on making quality stuff.
I don't think them scores are that bad. Maybe it's a disappointment considering how much hype it's had. Sounds like it'll be a better game in about a year. There are better games due soon to save for.
I'm usually a 8-15 hour game lover but for games that are much longer I need a good story to keep me going. Witcher 3, Final Fantasy 7, Cyberpunk and Ghost
I'm all in for this. But they must be working on something else right? Did I miss something? If this is in early development, what have they been doing? That 2.5D game
It's definitely not for me but I'm not going to hate on the game. You can tell the audience it's aiming for but unfortunately the Fortnite crowd ain't going anywhere. I can't see this lasting very long but I could be wrong.
Hope it's Stellar Blade kind of difficulty. My reaction times are getting worse in my old age. Even parrying in Clair Obscur is hard to pull off at times
Spent 100s of hours in the original but will pick this up some point down the line. Hopefully it's been patched up by then. Clair Obscur, Forza, Indy and Doom first
Probably be a pass for me. Never played the first one and from the reviews it's very hardcore and feels like a full time job just to survive in its world. I'm 40 now and my preferred games are now a bit more shorter and action based. Saying that I loved FF7 remake/rebirth and Dragons Dogma. It's going to be a busy year, can't buy them all...
Eurogamer also gave Dragon Age a 5/5...just saying. I'd say it looks like a 7 or 8 max, stealth looks poorly done and unarmed combat looks like it's straight from Skyrim. Hopefully I'm wrong when I get to play it next year
Black Ops runs better without a patch, Helldivers looks a bit better as well. I can wait for Silent Hill and Space Marine to be patched, Rebirth will last me a while yet.
Dam right I did. Games pre patch are looking a lot cleaner. Helldivers on performance mode seems cleaner and Black Ops looked a bit washed out on 120hz but it's looking at least 1440p now
Hopefully it will make me a better player... At 40 my best COD days are behind me.
I don't understand the PC will play it better comments. Yes, yes it will, no one is questioning that. But not everyone wants to spend that money on a PC, have room for one or just prefer sat on sofa playing. "My 4090 will destroy the Pro" yep, well done.
I'm happy with this. I never thought it would be ray tracing and 60fps. I'll still stick to the performance but I'll have a look at the quality. Next let's hear about Black Myth and Space Marine. Still waiting to buy these but going to wait
Sad times. I remember back in the day going to WH Smith and looking at all the games mags. Used to spend ages in there, surprised they didn't kick me out.
I'm actually about half way through rebirth and have been meaning to get back to it. I'll definitely wait to see if I can get my hands on a Pro. In fact it's stopping me buying any new games recently. Waiting to get Black Myth and Space Marine 2 as I hope these run better on Pro.
Yes it was a bit of a d*@k move to not include the disk drive and stand but I'm still sold. Just waiting to see if Xbox games will get Pro enhancements...
@Frmknst I would of payed more if I knew it was this good. In fact I've bought credits just to support the devs, even though I don't really need them. Like a tip

Re: Even with PS5 Ports, Many of Xbox's Games Have Been Underperfoming
Doom was great can't wait for the DLC, Ninja Gaiden 4 I also loved. Indy couldn't finish it, I got bored and same with South of Midnight.

Awesome! I need to calm down on game spending. I guess this will pull me away from Crimson Desert for a bit.

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
The control layout has completely put me off. It looks like a decent game but if the controls are bad I can't put 100+ hours into it.

Clair Obscur 100%
Been at work today but my plan tomorrow is hammer it all-day as there's no F1 this weekend

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.2 Out Now, Improves Horses, Item Selling, PS5 Pro's Graphics
It's pretty stunning on balanced on the Pro. I'm a 60fps kinda guy but maybe my eyes have got used to it quickly, but it seems more than 40fps
Re: The Last of Us Gets Its Own Limited Edition DualSense PS5 Controller
All over this. Even though I mainly use the 30th Edge, it'll be nice to have.

Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) - Immersive Knight Sim Makes for a Peerless RPG
Probably be a pass for me. Never played the first one and from the reviews it's very hardcore and feels like a full time job just to survive in its world. I'm 40 now and my preferred games are now a bit more shorter and action based. Saying that I loved FF7 remake/rebirth and Dragons Dogma. It's going to be a busy year, can't buy them all...
Re: Round Up: Indiana Jones Reviews Are Live, Mostly Very Strong
Eurogamer also gave Dragon Age a 5/5...just saying.
I'd say it looks like a 7 or 8 max, stealth looks poorly done and unarmed combat looks like it's straight from Skyrim. Hopefully I'm wrong when I get to play it next year

Re: Hands On: Serious Pop-In the Only Problem with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Massive PS5 Pro Boost
It's not the pro it's just Square can't optimise games very well. Look at FF16

Nice. Will definitely pick it up but I'm waiting on the Pro before I buy anything new. Space Marine, Silent Hill and Black Myth will be before this.

Re: Court Rules £5 Billion Lawsuit Against Sony Can Go Ahead, Following Years of 'Excessive' PS Store Prices
Agreed. Games cost a hell of a lot more to make now as well. I'm sure my parents paid £60 for Street Figher 2 for the Mega Drive
