Figgy pudding to all, although I’m not sure I’m doing any favors since I never had it, lol.
Playing Fallout 4 GOTY for the first time. Not sure this is the wisest choice since a certain virus (ahem) is turning everyday life into a different kind of apocalypse.
Also watching Vigil on Peacock, a British murder mystery on a submarine.
I’m liking the BC performance and for me, that’s enough. Same for my XSX. Everything looks better, runs better. Considering the pandemic raging around the world, I understand that there’s going to be a delay on new, innovative games.
Glad Sony is doing well, I have a PS5 & XSX. Seems like many of us are saying the same thing, but I’ll add my e-spit to the pile.
Although most titles are cross gen that’s to be expected (given deep universal chip shortages) and should not present a qualitative issue with proper scaling.
Sony does need to ramp up game production since MS is coming out with a giant amount of AAA titles over the next few years.
And for those promoting Sony Direct as the solution to scalping, it can’t be done because all retailers must be included. Excluding them would create huge trouble since product support would drop.
@Lloyd1nspace / I game on a 75” x90h and so far they haven’t done much of anything to correctly support 120fps mode. We will see, but I wouldn’t place money on big improvements!
It’s a Psychonauts 2 weekend here, assuming that there isn’t more destructive lightning in the area. Yesterday lightning hit nearby and the surge fried my cable box and Fire TV Stick.
Those without an Xbox should consider playing on pc. Join GamePass for a $1 and you can easily finish the game and not renew. Minimum requirements are pretty low.
Still chugging with Ghost of Tsushima. Only on part 1, lol. Cool game that has me addicted.
While playing today I wiped out a Camp then heard the sounds of a wild boar. The enemy indicator pointed upward, and for a moment I thought this was going to be a moment straight out of a Pink Floyd concert (they had giant floating pigs).
After the initial confusion & concert flashbacks I realized that a boar had jumped down from above and got lodged at the top of two adjacent tents, lol. I dispatched it with arrows, it popped out the of the crevice, then I climbed up to collect my predator hides.

Fallout 4, while debating whether this game reality or our current world reality is more bleak.

Enjoy your obsessions and peace to all!
Re: Review: Mad Max (PS4)
I haven’t finished it, but so far 8/10 as a minimum. Has great atmosphere and is perfect for short play sessions.
Re: Best Hidden Gems on PS4
Always loving Mad Max and happy to give it a shout!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Re: Sony Shares Huge List of PS Store Black Friday Offers, Starts Tomorrow
Meh, with a huge backlog, I’m not in a rush. Interested in Guardians, Arise, Valhalla, 13, and Disco, to name a few.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Detailed, Special Edition Owners Get Four Creation Club DLCs for Free
Unless reviews indicate an insane amount of great new content, I’m only in for the free PS5 update.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Is a Significantly Smaller Download on PS5
Makes me feel a bit better about adding this game to my PS5.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 PS5 Versions Delayed into 2022
Although I’m not in a “rush” (ha) to play my copy — I have a huge backlog — the outlandish disrespect towards gamers is astonishing.
It’s going to be a very very long time before I consider buying a game from them again. They can go screw themselves.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 398
Mad Max, zooming along and enjoying the blurry sights!
Re: Saints Row's Open World Looks Nice and Varied in New Districts Trailer
I might be interested when it gets cheap!
Re: PlayStation Japan to Host Elden Ring, Dragon Quest X Offline, Horizon Showcase
Hoping that DQX offline releases to a wider market!
Re: Sony Pimps Perfect for PS5 Bravia XR TVs

Re: Dragon Quest X Offline Hits Japan Next Year on PS5, PS4, But Still No Word on a Western Release
Well I’m crossing fingers and sacrificing a chicken at midnight (ordering chicken nuggets).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 396
I’ve jumped into my DeLoreon and gone back to Mad Max. Love it, but for some reason when I grab ammo it usually discards it immediately.
Playing on the PS5 so maybe a glitch. Any insights?
Re: Poll: Vote For the Best Final Fantasy Game on PlayStation
I’m going to say Final Fantasy 12, because I can.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5) - A Gorgeous Adventure with an Old-School Approach
I’m also in the disco camp, will buy cheap! Too short & too much backlog.
Re: Swery's Bizarre New Game The Good Life Hits PS4 Next Month
Waiting to see professional & user reviews before making a judgement.
Re: Poll: Do You Want Even More PS5 Marvel Games from Sony?
I think the upcoming announced games are plenty, looking for new IPs!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 394
I have too many games and I can’t decide.
“Oh the pain, the pain!”
Re: Deathloop (PS5) - Arkane Does It Again in Confident Shooter
Will buy it on BF or play on GamePass. The “lack of access to sequels” criticism for PS only players is bizarre, this isn’t a cliffhanger.
Re: GTA 5 Fans Are Not Happy with Expanded & Enhanced's PS5 Reveal
<insert Joe Pesci screaming gibberish obscenities here>
Have a great weekend everyone!
Re: Lost in Random (PS5) - Quirky Card-Based Adventure Set in a Dark and Gothic World
I was watching the trailer the other day and it looks good, glad to see it has some mojo to back up the visuals.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at PlayStation Showcase 2021?
Project Eve & Ghostwire have potential, but I’m not cheering like Tom Cruise on a sofa, lol.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Showcase 2021 Was Good, But Not Good Enough
The big meh, but I have a huge backlog to keep me warm this fall and winter.
I have a XSX & PS5 and — so far — Xbox is burning the midnight oil.
Re: Tales of Arise (PS5) - A Fantastic JRPG, and the Strongest Tales Game in a Long Time
I currently have a huge backlog but will definitely buy this in the future! Thanks.
Re: Gulp! PS5 Stock Shortages Could Last Until 2023
My advice is to get yours before the holiday push. That’s going to be The Nightmare Before Christmas, lol. With diligence you can do it.
Re: Soapbox: I Don't Know How to Feel About This PS4-to-PS5 Upgrade Uproar
Sony is going to regret this fiasco, gamers have a long memory.
Yes they fixed this but as Microsoft adds to the AAA pile, the more consumer friendly MS platform is going to gain traction.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Update Due Next Week, Adds New River Raids, Nightmare Difficulty, Gear, More
Valhalla is on my pandemic travel-from-home “buy” list, lol.
Sigh.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Will Now Offer Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade, Sony Confirms
Yay!!! Good to see some nugget of fairness.
Re: Fans Want Sony to Reconsider Horizon Forbidden West's PS4 to PS5 Upgrade
I keep seeing a vision of Sony as a guy dressed in a large top hat, and twirling a black handlebar mustache.
Then there’s the sneer...
Re: PS Store Weekend Sale Discounts Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Demon's Souls, and More
Nothing for me but more US Open Tennis!
Re: Sony Will Make You Pay Extra to Upgrade Horizon Forbidden West from PS4 to PS5
Looks like I need to lawyer-up every time I buy a Sony game, to understand the fine print.
This continued consumer indifference can only boost Xbox sales, which will get a strong additional boost from upcoming AAA exclusives.
Re: PS5 Revision Teardown Prompts Cooling Concerns
Less games being released so more nonsense being said on the ‘net. You have to talk about something in order to earn that Bitcoin!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 391
It’s a Psychonauts 2 weekend here, assuming that there isn’t more destructive lightning in the area. Yesterday lightning hit nearby and the surge fried my cable box and Fire TV Stick.
Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By
Playing on a 75” TV via a XSX and it looks great, not grainy, and sharp. I also own a PS5 and suspect that it looks good on that as well.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's Logo Retroactively Refreshed to Reflect Forbidden West
A subtle and classy change. I continue to be psyched!
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Gets 60FPS Patch on PS5, Available Now
Very cool, I stopped playing a while back on the PS4 so this gives me extra motivation to continue! Now I just need to squeeze it in somewhere...
Re: Elden Ring Nominated as One of the Best PS5, PS4 Games at Gamescom
Ludicrous, I'm saving my award nominations for games that people are just thinking about making!
Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Runs at 60FPS on PS5 with New Patch
Good news! My copy is part of the majestic backlog empire and awaits my future attention!
Re: Round Up: Psychonauts 2 Reviews Love the Wacky New Adventure
Those without an Xbox should consider playing on pc. Join GamePass for a $1 and you can easily finish the game and not renew. Minimum requirements are pretty low.
Re: PS5's Lighter, Revised Hardware Model Has Already Gone on Sale
@GADG3Tx87 I have that issue horizontally with the unit popping off the stand if I try to slightly move it.
The stand has a good grip because of rubber, but the PS5 only slightly fits onto the base.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 390
Apparently I’ve moved into Tsushima, lol. Still on act 1, uncovering stuff.
I did make a detour into Hades for a bit, but it’s not my jam so I’m dropping it.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut?
Haven’t finished Act 1 yet; it looks good but I’m going to push forward and make a buying decision (much) later.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut Is Superb, But Sony Shouldn't Be Charging Extra for PS5 Upgrade
No way I’m coughing up the extra 10, the only greed I like is GreedFall! 😷
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Returns, Looks Utterly Jaw-Dropping in New Gameplay Video
I’m interested, could be good!

Good times.
Re: We're Nearing a Year Since the Last Major PlayStation Press Conference
@ApostateMage Keep at it, you’ll get one. May require diligence!
Re: Rumour: Sony Targeting AAA Titles for Stunning Next-Gen PS5 VR Headset
Not interested in VR. Next!
