@Uromastryx 100% agree with you!!

"Update coming this week".. yeah, I downloaded it a few hours ago so, it already "came"

@TrickyDicky99 With no 1stparty games on the horizon, ofc the PS5 sales dropped 30%, and it will just get worse if they don't announce something new for PS5 SOON!!

I think all the focus on Pc games has put PS5 games as a second priority and made the few games released on the PS5 more buggy. I think Playstation has forgot who made them successful in their chase for quick cash.
I think it will bite them in the butt longterm.
I hope I'm wrong but pretty sure I'm not... 🤷😢

@j2c "Besides, why we all want more Elden Ring we definitely want to know what’s next from FromSoft, what will it be……😬"

Youngling Ring, the prequel.

TDLR: If a game like Diablo 2 or God of War /Horizon made you farm for hundreds of hours to change every value on your gear so you could "use tempering". Would you like it? or would you think the lazy developers made bad loot to begin with?
Support D4 and you will get more "lazy loot" in future games and you can only blame yourself in the end.
YOU (the player) are the problem if you don't fight back now!!

@Khayl Adam
"Arriving on 14th May, Loot Reborn will fundamentally change how the game is played."
Khayl, you sound like you ripped that statement right from the Blizz propaganda pressrelease?! How does it change how the game is played? The OG game is played like: Kill monsters, get loot, change values on loot, equip it, kill more and harder monsters..
After this patch: Kill monsters, get loot, change values on loot, equip it, kill more and harder monsters..

D4 team say they add pits to help leveleling, but next they say you need to be 90-100 for pits. How did that help leveling?

They say the remove the need to farm helltide over and over until you die of boredom, next they say they upgraded helltides so you will have more fun farming them over and over...

Now they say it will be easier to get Uber Uniques (spelling?), but no % is given, just that after you farm materials over and over and over, use tempering over and over and over, and you run helltides over and over and over, you can now run the new pits over and over and over... But when do I get the chance for Ubers? Noone I know even saw one on PTR?

Still the same bullcrap from developers to spend our hard earned cash to waste 100s of hours without getting anything (like fun gameplay + feeling of progress) back.
They want us to farm over and over again because these guys don't get it - what actually made D2 great to begin with.
The powerfantasy!! You find items that instantly makes you stronger and faster, kiling even more monsters on new cool ways. Simple as that.

Now they want you to spend 100 of hours farming loot, break it down into mats, more hours "tempering" just so you can can do thst loop over and over.
F*ck tempering, I want to spend 90% of the gametime killing monsters. And why does noone ask them why they scam people calling the game Diablo 4 when Diablo isn't even mentioned in it??!!
Why are everyone so gullible??!! It's crazy to be honest.

Don't complain if games gets worse and worse if you support "new loot systems" as a selling point for new gamepatches.
It's a slippery slope and we are going downwards fast my friends....
/end rant Back to Rise Of The Ronin (you know that 6/10 game noone will like)

@R_Ryder I would love complete PSVR2 support for OG Returnal!!

@themightyant Yes, it's pretty much 60fps all the time now on the PS5 and today patch 1.044 dropped, so that means they patched it 44 times since release. Tweaks and finetuning together with completely new stuff added. I don't think the game can be much better now tbh.

@ShadowofSparta I don't know what reviews you read, but the game is great!!

Psygnosis, well I still have my framed "Obliterator" poster up on my wall here in my homecinema/gamingroom!! And I still have my Amiga 500 in the closet.

@The_Pixel_King Just read an article about that "Legends of the Zone Trilogy is available now for PS4 and PS5 (via backwards compatibility), with a PlayStation 5 patch coming at a later date adding graphical enhancements and additional features."

Suits me fine as I have too much to play at the moment, so this trilogy is put on the backburner in my backlog.

@edwinjoe450 Yes, 4K 60 fps.

@dark_knightmare2 "They’ve been doing this for a while since at least ac origins I think so I don’t get the outrage"

The price here in Sweden has more than doubled during the last 8 years since AC Origins... Maybe that's worth some outrage?
And the size/playtime/quality hasn't improved at all, mostly the other way tbh.

This sound like M$ wants to "force" us to help them on PS.. Just don't but these crappy games and they will be gone. Playstation and Nintendo ftw.! ✌️😉

So the 6/10 game "beat" the 10/10 game?! Guess peoples taste are more like mine than Push Square's... 🤷😉 Rise Of The Ronin is a 9/10 for me, I done everything and is now in 3rd and last chapter. 🥰

I loved the game since day 1. Never got caught up in the hate-bandwagon that followed. Got my moneys worth and with all the free updates since then it just better and better imho. 🦾🥰✌️And PSVR2 is THE way to play it, just sayin' ✌️

Did I forget the /s ?
Wouldn't waste money on a lying rumourmonger to be honest...

For or against midgen refresh consoles like the Pro, I don't really care, but WHY is noone ever complaining if Xbox or Nintendo does them? This anti Sony propaganda was boring 10 years ago, now it's just ridiculous imho.
Edit: if you don't like 'em, don't buy them. That show them (or not). Complaining for something you never intended to buy to begin with is just sad...

@nomither6 Or a PS5 Pro launch title.

@GilgaMax96 No problems. Happy to hear you enjoy the game. ✌️😁

@TheEnygma Maybe you did same mistake as I did? After intromission, when you get to the main part of the game, I ran around exploring and got to the little camp a little north of the starting point.
I spent 1½ hour there before I realised the reason I couldn't kill them all in that camp was because they was level 6 and I was level 2... LOL I got back to them an hour or so later and got my REVENGE!

@NoHope No, not that I could find. It got tons of settings for target, you're weapon to be shown when not drawn and pretty much anything you can think off apart from any map settings.
But I don't think it's too many things on the map anyway. The review made it sound like the map would be cluttered (maybe it will be later in the game), but I free villages, defeat enemy camps and do main/side quests on my way forward and I don't have that many icons to worry about at any given time.
I hope that helps in some way.
Edit: FOUND IT!! Open map - L2 - Iconfilter - ALL OFF or pick the ones you don't want to show in the very long list that pops up here.

I played nearly 11 hours today. A solid 8/10 for me.
This review makes no sense imho.

@CutchuSlow It was 2K upscaled to 4K on the PS4 Pro if I remember correctly.(Checkerboard rendering)

@GilgaMax96 No I'm not, just want to know how you can be so deadcertain if you haven't played the game yourself...

@GilgaMax96 Not childish, just curious if YOU actually played it?!
It was a Yes/No question. So have you played it?
Youtubers say anything for views, that childish to have as a go to reference imho.

@GilgaMax96 "This is definitely their weakest game imo."
Have you played it already? I thought it was released tomorrow?!

@KonstantTrouble I agree 100% precent with you. Not every game needs to reinvent the wheel over and over. Most games are as good as you let them be tbh. But Push Square has been putting this game up against Dragons Dogma 2 since day one so I'm not surprised. One had to lose I guess.
I'm looking forward to this anyway!

@BlaizeV Get a Ps5 Pro in the future and hope it's more silent!

@Professor_Niggle Ah ok, I never got that. Sorry.

@Professor_Niggle Imagine reading a discussion online with people exchanging thoughts and immediately class that as "fan fic". You must be fun at parties....

@CaptD Yeah, I can buy that reasoning too.

The firstparty architect that together with Jim Ryan put us in this "no firstpartystudiogames in sight"-state.
Maybe why she had to go?!

@Barry_vV My PS5 just downloaded patch somethingsomething .002
2nd patch before release so I hope for as little bugs as possible on releaseday.

@MomsSpaghetti @Kraven I'm totally with you guys. I think this will be a really great game! I'm just curious about the difficulty on each difficulty level. Guess I start on hardest mode and see how it goes.

@Northern_munkey
I think stealing info/tech is wrong whoever does it to whomever!
So, yes, in that sense I do care.
If you ever made something yourself you would understand what that means to the "original maker".

@Northern_munkey "Who cares really?"
I guess Sony cares as they spent millions of dollars on research and development. All that so a braindead person leaks it for 15 minutes of fame. And now M$, Apple and so on can copy that without doing all the estimates by themselves.
That's a pretty big deal and it's not good for anyone.
Edit: Imagine if that was your company, and you spent all that money just so some lowlife would steal the info and leak it right under your nose. Would you just say, "Who cares really?" if it was your millions used to gain that technology in the first place!? I don't think so!!

Yesterday when I turned on my PS5 my pre-ordered RotR Deluxe edition pre-downloaded to my PS5.
Annoying as hell seeing the gameicon and can't start it until late next week!! The torture!! LOL!!

@BlaizeV Fair enough. If it's like the O.G PS5, you can remove the sidepanel and check if they have something that interfer with the fanblades, no need for screwdrivers or so.
My PS5 was of that batch were a sticker was on the cable to the fan and it got caught in the fan and made hell of a sound LOL. I just removed it and the PS5 have been silent since then.
I learned it through a Youtubevideo so you could search on "PS5 fan noise" on YT. Hopefully you find some easy fix for it.

@BlaizeV Sorry for asking but you are trolling right? "ps4 pro, the controller is nicer, the console is quiter "
Damn, my PS4 and PS4 Pro is like two jetplanes compared to the ultrasilent PS5 !??
If you can even hear it you should pretty much ask for a replacement to be honest. Unless you got the new model and Sony F'd up on that one, if so, I have no experience of that model at all.

Day one for me! Enough trailers, release the game already

Diablo 4 dead.
Xbox dead.
Hmm, M$ seem to be on a (negative) roll...
Not surprising as they have been curvstomped by Playstation and Nintendo for at least 2 console generations and when next Playstation and Switch are released it would be a true bloodbath imho.
Just as it was already stated above in the comments: "If you can't beat em - join them".

Good for the company I guess but no interest to me as they are a M$studio now. Just as bad in my book.

Day one. This is THE game I'm looking forward to in 2024!

@Nekomichu I'm in the same seat. I have Alan Wake Remastered in my backlog, bought it on this summersale, but I have other games to play through first, Elden Ring at the moment.
But I will certainly buy Alan Wake II. The question is, do I get to it before or after Rise Of The Ronin in March next year.
Edit: Speaking about Rise Of The Ronin - preorders up now on PS Store if anyone is interested.

So the rumoured new Dualsense V2 is for the Pro then? Makes sense if it is so. I would buy a Pro to get even better PSVR2 games, otherwise it's 50/50 at the moment.

@giacrent I think they should up that to 50 Mbit but as the Portal doesn't support 4K it might be a little overkill in the end. But thanks for the info

@nomither6 For me it's 50/50 if my PS5 have updated from restmode or not. I prefer to do it manually though so it doesn't interfer with my gaming.
