Would be the game of the year for me if the game had launched in this condition in 2023. I think it's one of the best games of this generation and possibly one of the best games ever made. It's absolutely fantastic!
BTW, I'm playing on Very Hard now and its Very Hard mode is probably the best implementation of a higher difficulty level that I've ever seen. Would definitely recommend trying it!
@Bentleyma I just played this section last night. Make sure you're zooming in on the sniper rifle, look around, and you should find things that you can scan. I think you have to be zoomed in to scan.
I've been playing the game and I have to agree with one of the other commentors here that this is now one of the best games ever made. Considering that it was unplayable at release, I would say that it's fair to call this a comeback or redemption story!
Hopefully they can put a little more imagination into the game than they did with Starfield. If Skyrim 2 is anything like Starfield then it will be little more than a visual upgrade over Skyrim with no new ideas.
@itsfoz I think that's what it said in the review. These visual improvements they're talking about better be pretty major to justify going back to this game!
Great game in VR. Now we just need more PSVR2 games to come to PS Plus. In fact, I don't want to buy anymore PSVR2 games, I need them all to be on PS Plus from now on!
Game was way too easy with way too much talking. Main quests felt like side quests. Bosses were a 10/10 for me but the rest of the game felt like filler. I give it a 7/10- could have been an 8 or 9 if they’d cut 15-20 hours of busywork.
The game was great and it was one of the best looking PS5 games when it launched. Make a good game and it's successful! It doesn't have to be AAA open world 100 hours long to make money.
I have a DualSense Edge and I like it. It's my preferred controller now, for sure, but I still wouldn't recommend buying one! The difference between the Edge and the default controller is very small. The only real difference is the extra buttons on the back.
"with the headline addition being the ability to extend your M.2 SSD storage" -Nope! The headline is Atmos support! This is a big deal for people with Atmos capable sound systems. Atmos support was one of the only features putting the Series X ahead of the PS5. If PS5 gets Atmos support and then DolbyVision down the road then the consoles will truly be feature equal.
I thought we'd be waiting for the PS5 Pro for Atmos. I'm super happy!
Glad to hear that some developers are treating a shorter game length as a feature! I'm having trouble even finishing Final Fantasy 16. 25 hours is plenty long for me!
If existing 30 FPS modes will run at 60 FPS and existing 60 FPS modes will run 90-120 FPS then I'll be a happy camper! Would also love to see 3D Audio for speakers.
@ChakaL00T I've had mine since day one of the launch and its fine. I've actually never had a console die on me. Make sure your consoles are getting plenty of ventilation! If all else is normal your replacement should last you for years.
PushSquare dropped the ball on this one. I played it and this game is boring and repetitive within the first couple of hours. I feel bad for anyone who paid full price for this.
Metacritic User Score sits at 5.4 and Critic Score is 64/100. That's about right!

Re: Poll: Do You Like Metal Gear Solid Delta's New Graphical Style?
Looks amazing, but those look like PC graphics, not PS5 graphics. I could be wrong but I doubt it!

I was looking forward to this game. Sad that they're not going to finish it!

Re: Lies of P (PS5) - No Fibs Found in This Souls-Like Great
Most reviewers have been lying about how much they like this game as some sort of sick meta joke. Only puppets are truly enjoying the game! SMH
Re: Epic Games Laying Off Almost 900 Employees, Fall Guys Dev Hit Hard
My guess is they're trying to make some sort of joke, like "Fall Guys developers are 'falling off' the payroll." Typical corpo humor. SMH!
Re: Who Is PlayStation's New CEO, Hiroki Totoki?
Isn't this the guy who designed Cyberpunk? Hopefully we'll get a few less bugs this time! SMH!

Re: Alan Wake 2 Has a Performance Mode on PS5, But It's Been Built as a '30FPS Experience'
I don't mind playing in 30 FPS but I do feel like it's time for a PS5 Pro so we can play 60 FPS with high settings!
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2023 Announced
Wow! Callisto Protocol is a game that I wouldn't pay for but I'll definitely check it out for free!

Re: Cities: Skylines 2 Delayed on Consoles to Optimise Quality and Performance
My PC is BEEFY with a NVidia GeForce RTX 4090 so I have no worries about whether or not I'll be able to play it. Disappointed to have to wait!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Lies of P?
Good tight gameplay but I wish P didn't lie so much in the game. Would have been even better IMO if P had been honest!
Re: If It Wasn't Obvious, The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation
Hopefully they can put a little more imagination into the game than they did with Starfield. If Skyrim 2 is anything like Starfield then it will be little more than a visual upgrade over Skyrim with no new ideas.

Re: Final Fantasy Creator Believes Latest Instalment Is Ultimate Entry in Franchise

Re: Reptile, Ashrah, and Havik All Set for Mortal Kombat 1

Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Suggest It's One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
It will go down as one of the GOATs. Starfield creators are quaking in their boots.
Re: Stunning PS5, PS4 Indie Kena: Bridge of Spirits Took a Month to Make Back Its Budget
The game was great and it was one of the best looking PS5 games when it launched. Make a good game and it's successful! It doesn't have to be AAA open world 100 hours long to make money.
Re: PS5's Pro Controller, the DualSense Edge, Is the Best-Selling Accessory in the US

Re: Preview: Armored Core 6 Could Give Newer FromSoftware Fans Whiplash
@Chaotic_Goat I think it said they played on Xbox Series X
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Release Date Reportedly Slated for November 2024
If existing 30 FPS modes will run at 60 FPS and existing 60 FPS modes will run 90-120 FPS then I'll be a happy camper! Would also love to see 3D Audio for speakers.
I'll be picking this up Day One!
Re: PC Multiplayer Sensation BattleBit Remastered Could Come to PS5
Would love to see this in 120 FPS on PS5. Seems possible and I'd play it especially if it had that feature.
