@Vorflynn Gameplaywise - harder than D4 for sure. It's a slower more impactful combat in PoE2.
But the systems and UI has all been reworked to help new players learn the game much easier according to the videos GGG showed so far. If you play at your own pace, read the tooltips and experiment a little you'll be fine. And most important: explore everything and kill all optional bosses for extra skills and unique loot.

5th December, NOTHING happened!! As usual with these Push Square hype-pieces.

@Bentleyma I think most people are just like you. I felt the same way "pay -early access" - bummer...
But the more I seen from the game the more I wish it was friday
I'll drop 370 on the biggest pack as I love those hideouts and armor. But that's just me. Got the money so I thought, "why not!"

I only watch others play if it's like a trophyguide or tutorial on a really hard gamemechanic, otherwise I just play the games myself.

@ozkrmz Yes, but Early Access (like a beta) will cost money to get into. In about 12 months they release the finished game (at the moment done to 90%) and then it WILL be free.
If you like this game you can jump in now for a fee, 30 bucks and upwards, otherwise you need to wait at least 6-12 months. Totally up to you.

• This friday you get first 3 acts of the story and 6 classes to play plus an extensive endgame.
• During the EA you get an additional 3 acts and the last 6 classes (12 in total).
• When the game officially relelases in a year you get the last and final Act 7 to play.
  Hope this helps.

@Flaming_Kaiser ??? What's unclear? All supporterpacks and prices are now covered on Path Of Exile.com.
In about a year it's going out of Early Access (beta) and it's free to play, entire campaign 7 acts and largest endgame in the ARPG genre including the 12 classes. Still don't get what unclear to you?
Guild Wars 1 isn't even a game like PoE2 so I don't get what you are on about. Responded to wrong post by way? I never mentioned online fee or anything about honesty??
Just woke up so really confused here lol.

GGG just mentioned the Playstation Supporter packs will be out about 24 hours before Early Access starts.

I got both the new system software update and one system function update on my console.

"Is this a PlayStation Web site? Oops I thought it was all nintendo..my bad." Typical trolling way of getting trolling going?!

@Northern_munkey I guess you want to be funny but you come across as trolling tbh. Whatever, I wont feed into that.

@Northern_munkey I should have wrote "you make it seem like the $30 supporter pack is the only supporterpack that get you into the Early Access".
Better?
Or do you talk about PC EA? I never mentioned that as I play on PS5 only. We are on a PS site after all...

@breakneck I agree, the combat looks flat and in some trailers the movement seem quite janky. I think this is a overhyped game at the moment, but we'll see in may I guess.

And they end it with Bloodborne, come on Push Square, write a couple of "articles" about how they are cooking something.... sigh

That original isn't that pleasant on my 75" HDR TV to be honest. The older I get the more I like darker themes

And if you got PS Plus, don't forget to claim the free PoE bundles. I claimed most of the 17 that Sony gave out the last 10+ years and they will work for both PoE1 and PoE2 as long as you play on the same platform. So all MTX from PoE1 on PS4/5 will work in PoE2.

@Jayslow No it's not. If you buy the $30 dollar EA pack you use those 300 point in the ingame store and buy yourself some stashtabs, seem people suggest: 1 currency stash tab, 1 premium stash tab (upgrade) and 1 each of mapstash tab and waystone stashtab.
But I'm sure people that played PoE for the last 10-11 years will post videos on what tabs to buy this weekend, so get the EA and just use the 4 bank tabs you get with the game to get started, that's what I plan to do.

@Liam You make it seem like $30 option is the only way to get into Early Access of Poe2, these will be sold on PS Store on friday 6th December:

• Path Of Exile 2 Early Access Supporter Pack $30
• Lord of Ogham Supporter Pack $60
• King Of The Faridun Supporter Pack $100
• Thaumaturge Of The Vaal Supporter Pack $150
• Warlord Of The Karui Supporter Pack $220
• Liberator Of The Wraeclast Supporter Pack $370
• Twilight Order Foil Reliquary Submission pack $110 (REQUIRES Liberator Of The Wraeclast Supporter Pack !!)

$30 Just gives a key and 300 points, the others give key, points equal to it's price ($60=600 points, $100=1000 points and so on)and MTX like armour and pets.
Edit: 4 days to go!!!

@Rambo-kind "Sony is going to torture us endlessly, right?"
You mean Push Square and their false hope-articles?!! Sony just does some "maintenace" in this case and this cough*reporter*cough make up this fantasy about some surprise. Don't pin that on Sony. They said nothing of this that this cough*reporter*cough try to put words in their mouth...

@mkr Reports said Sony wanted Blue Point to work on a remster/remake but Blue Point Refused and instead got greenlit to make an original I.P.
So they never did any remaster after Demon's Souls.
This was reported by many newssites, even Push Square if I remember correctly.

I said it earlier, at this point Push Square just take any far fetched rumour to troll us about BB. Not nice.

@EfYI The beginning? First packs in that townsquare?, first optional boss?(Cleric Beast), First real boss? (Father Gascoigne)
Until you at least cleared Father Gascoigne you haven't really tasted the sweetness that is Bloodborne. And that is nothing compared to the entire journey. It may not be for everyone, but if you give it time, you won't regret it.
Don't be so fast to write it off.

Already own Aliens Dark Descent, the others I have no interest in.
I will play PoE2 on my PS5 anyway from 6th december and for the rest of the year mixed up with some daily races in GT7 so I don't mind this being a meh month for me on Plus.

He will be missed 100%!!
But ofc he quits now, he will be playing Path Of Exile 2 next year for sure!

@MrPeanutbutterz I wasn't offended. Just felt you got REALLY triggered by my post/opinion. No idea why though as it wasn't aimed at you in any way?! 🤷

@MrPeanutbutterz I agree with the older titles but not with Days Gone. Childish? Not sure why you got so offended by my opinion? Insecure much?
I respect your opinion, now do me the favour and return that favour for me

Ditch Pc support for a few years and get the core production going for PS5/PS5 Pro first and then you can look at the PC market. We, the backbone of Playstation Nation gets bread crumbs for the last few years, sprinkled with GaaS and kid games.
Bring on Bloodborne II, Uncharted 5, Days Gone 2 and Corey's new game and some new mature singleplayer I.P's and we the lifetime long supporters can have some fun too.

"Will you be playing My First Gran Turismo when it arrives soon?"
No, I just keep on playing GT7.

@DennisReynolds It's started on the PS Blog that this is the Pro patch. At the end... if anyone read that far lol
Edit My bad, it's actually in the INGAME patch notes. Oops.
Edit 2: The Mercedes-Benz W 196 R ’55 costs 20 million. Glad I had 58 Million ingame credits beforehand.

@Danloki This IS the Pro update. How Push Square missed that is baffling tbh Fire up the game and see for yourself ✌️😎🤘

It was rumored a few years back that Dark Souls 4 would come inbetween Elden Ring I & II. Maybe they make a remastered D3 to get more people up to speed lorewise before D4??

If it's not on par with Demon's Souls it's not worth it. Bloodborne needs to happen though, Wake up Hermen/Sony!!!

"The leaker says the Black Friday promotion will run from 12th November to 12th December"
You mean from the 22nd right?? 16th today and no sale is live....

@Bionic-Spencer I see what you did there. 👀😉

"you're right. It's not the same. The PS5 Pro will be obsolete in 3-5 years along with it's game library (most likely). My steam account will be good until the day I die....just a fact "

So you ran out out arguments and pulled out your inner PCfanboy? What you just said has nothing to do with the topic we discussed. And no, the Pro, and the OG PS5 for that matter wont be obsolete in that timeframe. My OG PS1 is still going strong and does exactly what it was intended to do and so is my PS2.

And my PS5 gamelibrary will work just fine on the PS6 for sure, so I don't see how you think you can have a point to begin with. ??
I still have access to ALL my games on my PS3 so Sony is actually taking really good care of my games (not to be forgotten: my PS4/PS5 games) But I lost 2 games on Steam since 1996ish... So that's that.

No but if you "benchmark" a PS5 / PS5 Pro with a systembench made for PC architecture you get "PC architecture"-results. It says nothing about all the functions in the PS5 chip on a system level.
I worked with this stuff for almost 2 decades, It's not the same in PS5/PC... Just a fact.

@8bitOG Yes ofc it is. But you can't compare 2 completely different system architecture with a single benchmark just like that. Sony modded their chips so hard they have no resemblance with their original originparts anymore.
so you sound completely out of touch. Google it. It's all "out there".

@8bitOG You can't "benchmark" a consolesystem (closed sytem) vs a PC system, when are you PC people going to understand that? Not even in the same ballpark.

The strongest console on earth gets 7/10. What a time to be alive.

Sony, put that label on a PS5 Pro version of Bloodborne and I will be a very happy man. 😉✌️

Just turned on my PS5 and the PS5 version of Horizon and the Artbook I preordered downloaded and installed itself. I'm ready to replay it in week!!!

No Bloodborne music? Instafail.

@VatoLoco47 That's probably because it was considered a "trial" of some sort if I remember correctly. But I can download Driveclub, Bikes, and all the DLC as I bought it about 10 years ago.
I have a few delisted PS3 games (digital) that I bought on sale that I can still download to my OG PS3. (A God Of War Collection and a few games like that) So Sony seem to take my digital library serious and that feels good.

For those who wonder, if you own the game and it gets "delisted" just means you can't buy it anymore. Driveclub is delisted and I can download it and play just fine on my PS5. Ofc, they stripped the online part of it, but that's because Polyphony couldn't be bothered to take over the server....

Don't believe I'm going to say this, but I hope this studio doesn't get to remake Bloodborne. I would LOVE a Bloodborne remaster/remake, but not with the Horizon glowup. That would ruin the game 100% for me. BB is meant to be dark, chromatic and nightmarish. Not superglowy like Horizon remaster.

@DirtSinceBirth I loved it, might been extra fun because I played it with my wife and her girliescreams at every jumpscare made the game 12/10 for me.

I just contacted PS Support to have them remove my preorder for this remake. I knew from the developers that it would be new stuff in the remake but not a new ending...
Now thanks to Push Square I will save my money and buy on a sale. I thought playing it day one would save me from spoilers but this site had to put it in the headline day before release. Big longfinger to you Push Square for this one!!

@Bobtheking If so, you havent set up your gear correctly.

@Tomato_Goose And if you own GT7 you just MUST try that out in PSVR2 too!! Just saying.

@Tomato_Goose If you already own the game on Playstation you have no excuse not to check PSVR2 out for free!! I think you'll love it!

@Tomato_Goose Yes I thought it was great with 1st PSVR2 patch, but a few months later they released a revamp of the entire PSVR2 ingameengine in a new patch (current version) and it looks so much better imo!!!
Edit: That said, I only played PSVR1 before so I can't compare it to any other VR-headset on the market.
Edit 2: And to answer your question, yes I pretty much only play the game on my PSVR2, have a few hundreds hours in it (since PSVR2 launched). So yes, I assume I think it's good in VR

Imagine how it has been a cutting edge graphics showcase from PS4 to the PS4 Pro /PSVR1-combo over to PS5 -PSVR2-combo and now the PS5 Pro/ PSVR2 combo.
They just improve that engine over and over following Sony's evolution of PS-consoles.
No Man's Sky universe is on another level imho. I love to lose myself into that world for hours at the time.
