They are not going to tease Ghost of Twoshima until after RotR is out

I would really love to know what Bluepoint is up to (Bloodborne 2 hopefully)

The Pulse Explore were a huge bummer for me. The most uncomfortable earbuds I've ever worn. Returned them after 2 days. It's too bad because the sound was great

Digital Foundry did a great analysis vid. The foliage is significantly improved and the game does actually look across-the-board better in native 40K/40 fps if you muck around in the settings.

I'm skipping this upgrade. I'm a sucker for Horizon Zero Dawn so I'll probably do that one, though.

I watched the DF video showing the scant visual improvements (really just the foliage)

I love the gameplay but mostly hate the story

No Return is just going to feel like "No Factions "

So I'll save my $10 and put it towards Helldivers.

announcements for PS5 and VR2 exclusives that come out in the next 16 months

@DonJorginho Seriously

Slapped-together Tsushima 2 teaser with no release date seems within the realm of the possible

I am playing World again and loving it. When will other devs start to take cues from MH's complexity? Forbidden West, for example, would have been a cooler game with more complex movesets and itemization.

While BG3 is obviously game of the year it makes sense that it would take a little hit in a PS5-specific context because of the release date

Thank you — GT7 VR2 deserves way more recognition.

It's pretty goddamn obvious that TLOU2's perfect gameplay would be fantastic attached to a fresh multiplayer implementation as opposed to Druckmann's dull and monotonous narrative for Part II.

I'm bitter about the mix of politics and incompetence that deep-sixed this game. And I don't buy the official explanation at all.

I thought it was a really great game; don't know what people are grousing about. Will buy and play the DLC as soon as it's out. It would have gotten my vote for Sound Design I suppose but BG3 and Totk were better obviously.

I don't really care about whether Xbox succeeds or fails, although personally after Starfraud my feelings for them are at an all-time low.

I am concerned that there is so little new stuff coming out of Sony's first party studios. It really does seem like Jim Ryan tried to reorient everything around the Fortnite fad during covid and now they're stuck with having to turn the battleship back in the right direction.

But ***** it, who cares, we get to chew up our backlogs in 2024 and then we get Monster Hunter and GTA.

Yeah, on my playthrough I killed her with magic missiles and guiding bolts

good list! sable is great y'all

"Heavy" is a kind way to put it. Part II's story is a one-note sadism fest with uninteresting new characters. Druckmann is a suprisingly terrible writer without adult supervision from the likes of Straley or Mazin.

But the gameplay is 10/10, which is why I'm heartbroken about Factions 2 & why I'll pay $10 for No Return.

Hey guys, the #s are incorrect for Essential. I'm only seeing a 20% discount for Essential, they are asking me to pay $63.99 for a new sub. It's only $8 but it's pissing me off enough to stay lapsed

@Snicklefretz $150 is a crazy low price for that

Bring back the social feed of friends' trophies! WHY would they get rid of that?!

The show is its own thing. Mazin has said there will be substantial changes to S2.

HBO's Ellie is more angry and twisted than the game version of the character and imo Ramsey does a fantastic job with it. Same will go for HBO's Abby; if it's Dever she'll bring her own brand of toughness to the role rather than huge muscles.

The sour, giant-armed version of Abby in the game didn't exactly work for a lot of people and they obviously aren't going to copy it for HBO's audience. (She isn't going to be killing Pedro Pascal at the very start of the season, either.)

"We've reached out" translates to "Sony won't return our calls"

Yes please, can't imagine there's a better choice out there

I am both excited and annoyed — par for the course re: audio. I've invested quite a bit in game audio equipment but it sounds like this will blow my existing setup away. Interested to see if wireless magnetic planar over-ears are the next thing to come out of the Audeze acquisition

I didn't appreciate rhat other dev who tried to pretend like the original release was fine. But 2.0 really improved things and the writing/acting/scenarios in PL are all top-notch. Fine work CDPR!

@BearsEatBeets I agree, it's 30% off across the board aside from the Essential->Extra 25%

Pretty happy, I love the hardware and UI. I'm over the hangover from this past May's showcase fiasco, but I need to see a series of solid exclusive AAA announcements for PS5 and PSVR2 to get back to the excited place I was at 2 years ago. Would also like to see friends' trophy achievements in some sort of feed again (a la PS4)

@thefourfoldroot1 It's very stupid that they don't put some solid VR2 offerings on here. Would absolutely make the difference for me on Extra or possibly even Premium

Will probably re-sub at 30% off Essential since it's slightly less than the old price. You need to get $38.50 of value to make Extra worth it and an add'l $17.50 for Premium.

Going over the games list I don't see it, but if I were new to PlayStation & didn't have a substantial backlog it'd be a fine deal.

I have a hard time believing Remote Play will work well given how bad it was on my iPhone 14 Pro. Hope I'm wrong

Mine will lapse until there is an irresistible multiplayer console game out... If they aren't able to get something great out the door I could see myself playing MH6 on Switch 2's service! Yikes.

Keep it up Push Square commenters, we're winning!

It's the size of a sheet of Legal-sized paper now, rather than a medium-sized cookie sheet. Huzzah

Based on the sloppy mess we got at launch, I'll wait for a few rounds of From chaotic rebalancing before I dip a toe into the DLC. Not worried about spoilers, ER's story didn't do it for me at all

@Cookiecadet Lol I paid $99 for early access Starfield on my 3080ti rig. The game is a huge disappointment, particularly the bland writing.

For the record, I love Fallout 4. Hopefully DLC and a hardcore mode can fix some of Starfield's issues.

**** yes! Time to dust off my PS5. This should be excellent.

"Cutting contract jobs" is not really downsizing. This feels like a non-story

Cyberpunk will never be the 11-out-of-10 game of the decade we hoped for, but it's a hell of a lot better than Starfield.

@AdamNovice You're right — these reports aren't 100% truth. The truth tends to be even worse

A complete disaster for PlayStation. TLOU2 has perfect gameplay and to not leverage that into a multiplayer hit is unacceptable. Jim Ryan needed to go, and his replacement shouldn't use Bungie as the authority on what PlayStation customers want.

The perfect Jim Ryan product: snazzy hardware made useless by a lack of games. I long for the parallel universe where I buy one for farming duct tape and scissors in TLOU2 Online.

@AdamNovice The live service push is a pretty obvious disaster. It won't be fully eliminated I suspect they'll adjust

Pretty hard to believe that ND simply botched Factions 2, which ought to be a killer app that makes PS+ indispensable. Feels like something political went down, or it was decided it absolutely had to be larded with live servicey B.S. Either way it's a disaster.

@CutchuSlow Yeah, I basically quit Rise before the final update because I was so annoyed not to be able to move to PC

My body is ready

Base game trophies seem busted on old saves.

@Splat @Shepherd_Tallon Also I just don't think MH fans are looking for an extra 300+ hr timesink outside the series' release frequency

Monster Hunter is an exceptional series; the complexity that comes from the weapon variety, complicated movesets + all the stuff you can do with items... it adds up to something that's just plain difficult to compete with.

Helldivers delay is a ***** bummer but at least Rebirth looks good

An excellent and underrated game, especially when you compare it to this year's narrative turkeys (FF16 & starfield)

@Kidfunkadelic83 It's just D&D. Melee is pretty overpowered, as are wizards and warlocks. There is an easy mode. Don't sweat it, it's more about tactics than complex strategy
