430k players peak on steam, 330k now, overwhelming positive, my friend got it and is praising it to the roof. I guess I will get it for a weekend play, looks and sounds fantastic.
I missed the whole rhythm period due to playing WoW all the time, then I coundnt get anything for modern platforms or it was too overpriced. Looking forward for this one, specially the drums
out of curiosity, is this available for the Steam version as well? wanted to try Arcriders but not sure if extraction shooters are my thing, so giving this a go might clear that for me. and I dont like to play shooters on gamepad so was hoping for this to be available for the Steam version as well.
EDIT: just noticed the note about Steam, so I will try it later.
An rtx3070 for high isnt that beefy, and being able to play in low-mid with a 2000 series is quite good imho. I wonder how the optimization will be, maybe if good Ill get it on lunch for some good 4k 60+fps gaming.
For me it is interesting news, personally I love historical movies, and with the focus of medieval Bohemia (which I learned at school), this would be interesting. Hope they keep it as historically accurate as possible and potentially with a full Czech cast.
cannot tell if it was the best, but it being 1 hour long helped more than most people think. within that time Sony could put way more games meaning everybody could find a few games they are interested in. I also found a few games I didnt know before that looked very promising.
it is hard for me to understand that one studio can drop a 2.5D side scrolling game, work on the GoW remaster trilogy and have another game in production, while other studios struggle to make anything new for years. I was always a fan of the GoW games so I trust Santa Monica Studio will deliver.
It was not able to live up to the highs of the original release because the developers lied. While promoting OW2 they promised a lot, including an extensive PvE mode with leveling, perks, etc. everybody (including me, who played OW since release day) was hyped, and when the patch to ow2 was released, it was first that they will do first the PvP changes and the PvE part will arrive later. More lies since later it was leaked that at time time it was clear internally that PvE was scrapped. Lies, lies and lies.
@Nakatomi_Uk I havent used it much, and saw it only once so far because I was farming extermination missions for fast medals. I believe it will not be as good, since the patch buffed enemy dmg against durable. So now the mechs are even worse on the bot front and maybe the tank might be annihilated fast.
Btw currently 156569 players and 117189 on Lesath, have never seen this split before.
Im loving this patch, the push for Cyberstan is really something. Already unlocked 2/3 of the new warbond and the tank (a bit underwhelming to be honest), but having almost 100k players now is amazing, and for a first time in ages, almost everybody is on the bot front for the MO.
I really hope those "leaks" about a Switch-type PS capable of running at least PS4 games on its own would materialize. Not a fan of streaming from console/cloud (by paying an expensive subscription).
Love the series, got the first on the Switch and the second on PS5. Will get this eventually, I guess I am still one of those raised on JRPGs that love investing 100+h of great gameplay.
Playing Helldivers 2 the whole weekend, already had 2020 super credits for the warbond coming next Tuesday, almost medals capped so I will just enjoy missions.
@zhoont huh? Really? I already unlocked 11 warbonds without paying anything (170 hours total). Just going through all PoIs in each mission. Interested in this warbond, need 400 more credits but it should be easy to get im a week, need to start stockpiling medals now.
I personally like the Far Cry games quite a lot, finished 3, Primal, 5 and its sequel, and currently starting 4. Heard that 3 and 4 have the "best" stories, but to be honest the story was not that interesting for me, I liked the gameplay more. Cannot really see how it could work on a tv-show.
boy I am happy i got my new rig in April, was not expecting these prices. But GPUs (at least in my place) went down a bit and are being sold almost at MSRP.
for a machine that was deemed as "not a competitor" to PS (still believe it is not), I can see a lot of comments from PS-only players towards the gabecube. I dont really think any PC player thought after the presentation and the specs that this machine will be as cheap as a PS. Neither "hardcore" PC gamers will benefit from this (it is just not that strong). But I do believe many gamers will find this interesting, specially it the price will be around the 1000€ tag. I would be personally more interested in the steamdeck successor, since my 5080RTX rig is way better than the steam machine.
Beat this one on the Switch, but the absence of trophies stopped me from 100% the game. Been thinking for a long time to get the game on PS and complete it, maybe will get the legendary edition when on sale.
@Stevemalkpus lets hope that the rumoured PS6 companion handheld version will be more like the switch, without need to have a premium PS+ nor needing to block your main console to play.
A question: do I understand it correctly that you need to be subscribed to the highest PS+ tier in order to stream your games directly from Could, otherwise no PS+ means you need to have those games installed in your PS5 and cannot play at the same time on the PS5 and on the Portal?
@bazchillin for me it would be enough if those apply to 1st party Sony games. Of course, the more the better, but having the possibility of playing Sony 1st party on PC on day 1 would be huge.
this will be great, as somebody playing on Steam and PS, it would be good to be able to buy the game once and play on both platforms. playing Stellar Blade 2 on glorious 4K 100fps+ would be a fantastic experience.
I am still a bit hesitant to get it. Two of my buddies are playing and having a blast, but since OW I am off of PVP games. But this game looks really good, maybe I will go for the 2hour trial and see. Good to see that there will be an ongoing support this early, I guess they are trying the "forever game" way.
@LifeGirl I cannot say about 3D fallouts, but I played Fallout 1, 2 and tactics on release without any issues. All belong to one of the best games I have ever played.
@TheDudeElDuderino then that is good news for me. I played yesterday just bugs, and I prefer the coyote for bots. Will try it later, after the mayor order is finished. Will also have to look through the enemies updates on the patch notes, will be interesting.
@TheDudeElDuderino the patch hit us and it seems to be fixing a lot of technical issues (but not all). we held yesterday a 3-hour run with my friend and at least for him it didnt crash so its a positive. I didnt go into the balance details but I heard that they nerfed incendiary weapons which is a bum (started to like the coyote a bit much).
I assume this is not a problem for consoles but currently the PC version is quite broken. Many people are having hard locks on their PCs and nobody knows why (my friend who I onboarded into it is crashing every day, I have no issues on a similar rig). It seems that they are delivering a patch within a week so lets see. High hopes on that patch so we can resume playing together (awesome game btw).
Personally I am waiting for the Switch 2 OLED version to buy it. There are no console sellers right now for me, and my Switch backlog is large. I am curious how it will go, since it looks to me that the NSW2 is to the NSW like the PS5 was to the PS4.
from what I read the PC optimization is really poor, hence the recent negative steam reviews. Ive been playing Wilds on PC with a friend only because our HW is high enough to force high fps at high resolutions. Hard to tell if this game with its engine can be improved (from what I heard it cannot). regarding the content, I have another friend who has played all MH games and he is complaining a lot about the lack of content on Wilds, and this update might not fix those complains.
finished Pirate Warriors 4 on Switch, loved it but without any trophies I kinda gave up on 100% it. Would love to play the DLCs but dont want to get them on Switch and dont want to play it again on PS. Hope they release someday Pirate Warriors 5.
the trailers looked awesome, I am wondering how the final product will look like. will wait for user reviews and then see, these type of games play better for me on mouse and keyboard so Steam is the way.
Based on recommendations I got Helldivers 2 on Steam and I am enjoying it quite a lot. Sometimes I still have no idea what am I doing and still playing solo until I learn it properly but it’s great.
Offtopic: is it a good time to jump into the game? Always interested me but I don’t like playing shooters (even 3rd person) on gamepad and my old PC didnt meet the min. requirements.
@OldGamer999 I’m with you on this one, wondering why neither Sony not MS is choosing nVidia. It’s been a long time sinxe AMD had a competitive high end GPU, why not wanting the best GPU for your (best) console? If by the time the next gen consoles are released and both will use the same AMD HW, I guess it will be again who has the better exclusives/system sellers (unless Ms decides to go with a way cheaper HW).
Agree with the statement, “for free” is a good game with a nice campaign and good gameplay. I haven’t missed any season yet and are eager to start the new season in July (late July due to summer vacation), but completely understand people that don’t want to sink 70+h in every season (I do and have fun doing it)
I might be one of the last people enjoying D4 and playing every season. I will not recommend buying D4, for many reasons, but if you have PS plus for sure give it a try. At least the story campaign is good enough. PS: anybody knows if I get thr ps+ version and login with my battle net user, can I continue with my progress from battle net?
Wanted to properly start Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam but will wait for the announced latch. So I guess itll be Monster Hunter Wilds and finish Fire Emblem Warriors on Switch this weekend.
