I played it on PC and ultimately thought the game was fun, but I was not happy with the performance. My PC blew away the recommended specs, but the frame rate would fluctuate wildly.
I love Warhammer 40K and I enjoyed the game overall, despite the samey levels, so I hope those interested give it a chance and the game is more optimized on PS5.
My PS5 Pro should arrive any day now and I'm excited to play some games I've had sitting in my backlog for a while waiting for that day. Top of my list is Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth!
I was fully expecting the PS5 Pro to be bigger than my original PS5, but it's actually smaller. Nice!
PlayStation Direct is a great place to buy things, especially if you have PS+. I waited to buy PS5 Pro from Target, so I could get a tiny discount with my Target Circle card. Unfortunately, Target does not ship the Pro until release day, so I am estimated to receive mine three days later. That's not too bad as it gives me a little more time to get through the game I'm currently playing, Immortals of Aveum, so I can break in the PS5 Pro with Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and both Horizon games.
I am a bit disappointed the standard plates don't work with the Pro, because it did seem that they could despite the Pro's larger size, but I never would have expected the SLIM plates to fit. That is just a strange expectation.
That's a great month. Ghostwire is not great, but it isn't bad. It's worth a try. The first Hot Wheels Unleashed was a lot of fun, and I had no idea there was a sequel. That's a very pleasant surprise! A Death Note-style game like Among Us certainly has my attention, too. Nice!
Return-to-office mandates are stupid. The world has learned many jobs don't need to involve a commute or giant office buildings. The people in charge are afraid of change, so usually make up some excuse like "our culture is in danger of being lost" or "we are stronger together," but the real reason is they don't know how to manage others effectively.
The objective talent visible on the resumés of the studio heads, all of whom worked at Bungie among other places. Sometimes talent is not enough, and it certainly wasn't for Concord, but the lack of success is not the same as the lack of talent.
Considering this entry in the series seems like it is much better than most previous entries, I was thinking about picking it up down the line on sale, but I don't think I can. Buying Call of Duty now just rewards Microsoft for consolidating the industry, and I cannot reconcile that with industry consolidation, more often than not, being bad for consumers.
@HonestHick It absolutely will cost them sales, but that does not mean there still won't be high sale numbers. That 306,460 concurrent players number could have been 350,000 or 306,461.
You guys are wild. It's a free program to get some free rewards. Sure, it's less generous than before, but its mere existence is a net positive for customers. Sorry for being blunt.
The game has a very confusing title. I am hoping I can still get some enjoyment out of this game. Mech games are sparse. I would love another Battletech game. The last one we got was top tier.
Thank you for the PSA. Unfortunately, many people will never tap on it and notice they are no longer accruing points. It's poor implementation of the new terms of use.
Excellent! This is the game I play the most currently. I figured the PS5 Pro would enhance the game naturally with better performance, but direct support is even better!
I am greatly enjoying the naysayers slowly but surely getting owned. Sony earned my $10 long before this. Providing an upgrade path is a consumer-friendly move I'd like to support.
I like Shawn Layden, but he's definitely wrong here, so I'm glad he isn't still the CEO. Sony's blockbuster games are what they do better than anyone else. It's their competitive advantage.
If you're impatient, you end up paying for it. It's even sillier to pay more for early access. I will leave you with immortal words of wisdom that have been my compass for many years:
"If you buy a game at launch, you are paying the most amount of money for the worst version of a game." -TotalBiscuit
@tangyzesty What strange hill to die on. You can buy the stand and disc drive if you want them. Is the problem that Sony is not selling an $800 model with those included?

Re: Labour Union Blasts Sony for Looking to Further Monopoly with Studio Closures
@Americansamurai1
They are arguing that there is one fewer studio out there because Sony bought it and closed it. It's a dumb argument in this case.
Re: Labour Union Blasts Sony for Looking to Further Monopoly with Studio Closures
Unions are wonderful, but this one is off the mark here... and hypocritical.

Re: Manga Masterpiece Death Note Becomes Among Us in Online PS5, PS4 Outing
I will try this out because Japanese games are usually genius and I really like Death Note. It's included in PS+, so a really low barrier to entry.

The objective talent visible on the resumés of the studio heads, all of whom worked at Bungie among other places. Sometimes talent is not enough, and it certainly wasn't for Concord, but the lack of success is not the same as the lack of talent.
Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
Such a shame. That's a lot of talent Sony just let go.

Confirmed I only see the $10 option her in the USA. I usually bought the $5 credit whenever I had enough points.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Offers $20 Premium 'Pay-to-Hear' Audio Tech
A new low for a game series and company full of lows! There are (dumb) consumers out there who will buy this subscription, which is why it exists.

Re: Some Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Fans Are Furious It's Not Getting DLC
Sony must have decided they can make a ton more money with a full Venom spin-off than DLC.
Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC
They probably decided they can make a ton more money making a Miles Morales-style expandalone game featuring Venom.

Re: Manga Masterpiece Death Note Is Getting a PS5, PS4 Adaptation
Could the gameplay be something like Heavy Rain or the Dark Pictures Anthology? I like that style of game.
Re: PS5 Pro Makes Quality, Performance Modes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard Better Than Ever
Shhh. We're only supposed to speak negatively of the PS5 Pro so as to not enrage those that do not understand market forces.
