I'm not the target audience for this (nobody else is using my TV!) but I'm glad it's actually good at what it does. I know some people are looking for ways to play when their TV isn't available and if they haven't invested in any Backbones etc yet, this is definitely an option to consider.
@ShogunRok I replied to PushSquare's tweet but I'll also mention it here. The PS5 version unfortunately has currently much more input latency that the PS4 version running on PS5, so I'd recommend using the PS4 version for now (you might need to use the PS App to download it, it didn't show up on my PS5) - which is a shame, because the PS5 version looks noticeably better. This was also originally a problem with Guilty Gear Strive but was addressed over a year ago, which is why I didn't expect GBVS to have the same problem - but here we are. Hopefully this gets addressed ASAP.
My country wasn't listed as eligible on the website and the first beta wasn't available for download here - but this one is. Hopefully this means they expanded to the missing parts of EU and forgot to update the list (and it will actually work). We'll see in the morning, I guess.
@trev666 Sounds like what they got out of that was "should've included microtransactions, dammit"
Tbf I'm sure it's a pretty successful model with MK but that's a whole different genre and it's not like they're going to release any other fighting games anytime soon
I really enjoyed the game 2 years ago so I'll probably give this a go eventually. @Ainu20 I'm basically you except I actually remembered this was realising, somehow
I'm currently playing the first one (PS+ Extra ftw) and doing quite alright in it - hopefully I'll manage to finish it and not get stuck. I really like the music and the narrative. Sounds like the sequel improves upon it in multiple ways so I'll definitely be looking forward to playing it at some point (maybe not straight after the og though).
@playstation1995 MP3 was pretty divisive because it changed the tone of the series significantly - and also wasn't developed by Remedy.
That said, I also thought it was really good.
I played the demo. It seemed promising although I wasn’t a huge fan of the combat system or how enemies spawned in the world map. Will put it on my list of games to maybe get eventually.
I just tried it with Rift Apart, works great. While I’ll definitely still play games natively most of the time, this will be useful with trials, PS+ games, etc - whenever I want to check something out but I’m not too sure if I’ll stick with it.
While it's definitely one of the most anticipated games of the year for me, I think I'd have to put FF16 as no. 1 in that particular category, with Spidey as the runner up.
I enjoyed the demo (as I did the original game) but I have other games to play rn anyway so maybe they'll fix some of the problems by the time I get to it
@MagisterMagi just to get your facts straight - Druckmann co-produced the show, co-wrote every episode and directed one of them (almost every episode has a different director, which is not unusual for TV shows)
@TheRickestRick Forgive if I'm explaining the obvious but you should go to the store (not Tekken page, just anywhere in the store) and select "redeem code" from the menu in upper right. You can also do this in the mobile app. I had no problem redeeming mine but it was during the previous run ("Closed Network Test") so I could just redownload it now.
Ok so.... I'm sure there's tons of games like this on most platforms (except they're usually not based on a high profile license) but I had no idea this was $40 đź’€
@UltimateOtaku91 @TanookiLeaf It's actually interesting as it really shows that Xbox's business these days is way more about software than the consoles.
Starfield apparently sold quite well and is currently the 7th best selling game of the year in the US (with majority of the sales being on PC) and that's not counting Game Pass.
"We have no goal of somehow trying to use Call of Duty to get you to buy an Xbox console" and we actually prefer that you don't, because we're losing money on consoles and GP is available without one.
I've never heard of these people before but I also don't see how this is a bad thing. Worst case scenario you're getting an optional suit you simply won't use.
@xDD90x I'm not sure what the conditions are exactly but it seems that automatic patch downloads work only for games you played recently. Which I guess makes some kind of sense.
@homelesscretin My guess would be Homelander having more long range moves involving his eye laser and stuff. It should be actually pretty easy to make them play very differently.
Good decision for sure but it seems like either it would've been delayed anyway, or they're using the additional time to avoid crunch and/or avoid crunch - since there have clearly been significant changes to the game even after SF6 released
I really appreciate that it's much closer to classic AC, even though I also enjoyed last 3 games a lot. My only major complaint is the sword combat, which is simply not fun - luckily 90% of the time your goal is to avoid it.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Alan Wake 2?
I definitely want to but I gotta play the original (remastered) first.
Not a horror fan in general but it looks great.
Re: Stunning PS5 Open Worlder Star Wars Outlaws Has Seemingly Been Delayed
I don't think I knew this was supposed to come out sooner than that tbh. Totally fine if this is a summer game for 2024.
Re: Spirit of the North 2 Announced for PS5, Should Look Foxy in Unreal Engine 5
@Stevemalkpus Ah, that's too bad.
I'm still interested though, I'll add it to my wishlist and look for a sale.

Haven't played the first one yet but I believe it's on PS+, and definitely on my list

@Barryburton97 I see, that makes sense

Wasn't this a thing since PS+ Premium was introduced?
Re: Poll: Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bugs are Apparently a Real Problem, But Have You Had Any?
So far (in about a dozen hours probably), I’ve had the following, exactly one time each:
I was mildly annoyed at that last one but otherwise no big deal for an open world game.

I honestly didn't notice and I was playing AC Mirage around that time - although that might've been exactly when I took a break.
Re: Ubisoft Vague on Assassin's Creed Mirage Sales, But It's Been a Hit on PS5

Re: Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery Hops onto PS5, PS4 Later This Month
@Martsmall Makes sense. I avoid gaming on PC and don't have an Xbox so I hope the price will be reasonable on PS5.
Re: Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery Hops onto PS5, PS4 Later This Month
Yesss finally!
