@Max_the_German Haven't noticed that at all tbh. I've tested HFW extensively via streaming and it was a crisp 1080p picture all around. Didn't notice any jaggies around grass or other vegetation at all.
the latest update is amazing. At launch, I had issues with micro stutters during remote play etc. which got gradually better over time but it wasn't good enough for me to regularly use it. The newest update has completely changed that. Streaming has worked flawlessly for me thus far. No hiccups, no degrading picture quality. I've been using it more over the last couple of days than I have in a very long time. The new UI features are great as well where you can check your current connection status and latency. During remote play, I only have 1-3 ms latency, streaming bumps that up to around 6 or 7 but picture quality and resolution are much more consistent for me there.
@Logonogo Yes, he also gives full blown reviews for games on the day of release and gives them a rating. And pretty much everything is either one of the best games ever or at least an instant classic, lol.
@dark_knightmare2 It wasn't original at all in 2, TOC even less so, which was basically Mafia trope bingo at its finest. In terms of performance, I'd give TOC a slight edge here because of Bernardo Torrisi alone.
@dark_knightmare2 Personal preference. Imo, 2's story takes a dump on this one. While not bad, it was painfully predictable from around the 2 hour mark on.
I loved it despite its flaws (which are obvious). That said, it's a "great 7/10" for me if that makes any sense. The second is still my favorite and probably one of my favorite SP games ever.
I can't get enough of this world. My favorite WRPG series by a landslide. I even put up with that terrible first console port and didn't mind it. Needless to say I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Unpopular opinion, but since its launch, I haven't felt a single time that the selection isn't worth around a fiver from a value perspective. And that is coming from someone that barely ever plays anything from the PS Plus catalogue. I get the feeling that a lot of people just deem a month trash whenever there isn't anything in there they haven't played yet. For me to call a month trash it would have to be Pet the Poodle, Jumping Gumboot and Dancing Tortilla or whatever they're called.
@Veritas7Ax I can see why. The midnight black one is sexy as hell for sure. But I can't bring myself to make such a loss due to a color. Although I'd like to, lol. But I know how it usually goes. I do stupid stuff like that, get all excited for a day or two and when the novelty has worn off, I end up wishing I hadn't done it.
@AdamNovice I've been hoping for a PS All-Stars Racer since 2009, lol. Imagine all the cool possible characters and stages. But I'dtake Astro Kart as well. Would probably make a lot more sense too due to a unified art style.
@wildcat_kickz screen size alone holds next to no value when it comes to resolution. I see this all the time and when you ask people how far they sit away from it, they'll tell you 3 meters. Good luck getting res benefits at that distance.
Since I've been overburdened with work over the last couple of weeks, I've only been playing a few rounds of Battlefield 1 online. Goddamn, how I miss a good BF game. Fingers crossed the next installment will be a banger.
I got an invitation to a survey from PlayStation like one or two years ago, which was specifically about Sackboy and the respective games, which I found super weird. Also some very specific questions about the character as a mascot and how it represents the brand. Guess we're seeing the results from that now, lol. Which is both great and sad news. LBP is legendary and Sackboy: A Big Adventure is extremely underrated imo. However, Astro Bot has taken over.
@LogicStrikesAgain Isn't it crazy he was considered a reliable source/leaker years ago and now everyone just rolls their eyes when he announces something new?
While I have a lot of fond childhood/teenage years memories with those games, once the Skate games released, the series was dead to me. Can't go back to the arcade style gameplay.

Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
@Logonogo It needs to be said that this guy hasn't even played the games he talks about most of the time. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
