The fact they had to put a tweet out clarifying a day later just shows how they dropped the ball explaining what unlocking coop entailed. All they had to do was add one sentence to the game description on the ps store and if someone didn’t read it that’s on them. But this was just messy.
I love Horizons world. It’s one of my favorite Sony IPs. This game look like a run of the mill live service cash grab. They could have been putting resources into Part 3 but instead we get this crap.
Do they announce when library games are added to streaming? For example ff16 isn’t available to stream from my library (you can obviously remote play) it’s just streaming has worked so well for me in my portal when I’m not at home away from my ps5.
Slowly going through ff7 remake hard mode. Started the Nioh 3 demo. I’m terrible so not sure if I’ll make the full purchase. I’ve been in a gaming funk.
This pretty much sums up the first one. I was in the camp that they would take the good things and improve upon the second one but doesn’t look like it happened.
Crazy to see AC Shadows “discount” for the ultimate edition to be 94.99 because it will probably be under 30 this time next year. To each their own but Jesus I can’t rationalize spending that much on an ubi game.
It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played and the PL dlc for $30 bucks at the time was insane because it was the best game I played that year. They effed up the release but damn it ended up being an all time great in my books.
I’ve worked for the same software company for almost 15 years now and we have gone from mostly manual QA to mostly automated testing to now slowly moving to AI. Since we moved from mostly manual QA the quality of our software has been crap. I know plenty of other people I network with who have the same problems. I’m not speaking for everyone but I can see this going very badly and when they do decide they need actual human beings there won’t be anyone to hire because they moved into different roles or job sectors. My company now wants us to hire actual people and we can’t find any because they have moved and/or the ones that we can hire have hardly any testing experience.
I love my portal. I use it more than the tv now. I never have lag. I’ve recently been playing Returnal on it and it’s been fine. I haven’t input lag that’s bad enough to kill me at least. Currently playing Arc Raiders and it also has been perfectly fine.
I really like how this game recognizes when you haven’t played it in a while and offers you a tutorial. Sometimes jumping back into games this massive can be overwhelming .
I definitely agree people not only have more to play then ever but games are bigger and longer too. However Rebirth was absolutely padded with annoying mini games and checklist tasks. I’m so stoked the will be scaling that back. Let us go to the gold saucer if we want to play. We don’t need the world to be full of random mini games that are generally not even fun.
I know squenix always says their games didn’t meet sales expectations but you’d have to think these games have some long term sales going in its favor. They can package them together, do a sale before part 3 comes etc. I’d be interested to see the sales numbers down the line. But who knows anymore what a successful game is for square? They should have released it on all platforms though.
Side quests are amazing and so organic compared to GoT. Riding the horse is so much more fluid. It’s kicking my butt on normal difficulty for some battles which I love. The enemies done just wait to attack you one by one so you really need to plan out your attacks. You really have to take advantage of all the tool sets they give you in battle . I do wish there was a designated place where you could just practice all your moves without the risk of dying. If there is one please enlighten me!
I’m not sure what a crack addiction entails but I think VS is as close as I’ll ever get. It’s addicting af and it’s always what I end up playing if I travel/go on vacay even if bring my switch etc.
The shield makes me think it might be a little more accessible than Returnal but who knows. I’m not against that because I was terrible and it took me forever to finally beat it lol

Re: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Demo Out Now on PS5, with Saves Carrying Over to the Full RPG
I’m really digging all these demos lately. It’s lead me to buy two games I was on the fence about so it’s definitely working getting money.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Sounds Like a Proper PS5 Pro Showpiece
So do need to play 7 and village before I can play this if I want to understand everything going on?

Re: Yes, RPG Arknights: Endfield Is Absolutely Looking Like PS5's Next Big Gacha Hit
So what’s the gacha like? I have f2ps but I remember reading at least one of the big ones coming out was only going to be cosmetic stuff, no p2w.

Re: 'This Is Going to Be Us Unleashed': Divinity Is Baldur's Gate 3 Dev at Its 'Next Level'
@Losermagnet2 it’s sold 20 million copies and counting I think they made an educated decision
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Dev's Divinity: Original Sin 2 Out Now on PS5, Offers Free Upgrade
@dskatter yes you just need to have the ps4 disc in when you want to play and download the ps5 update
Re: Action RPG Lords of the Fallen 2 Absolved of Sin with Brutal PS5 Gameplay Trailer
This looks pretty fun but it would be a waste of money for me because I sick at souls likes.

It’s best to just not saying anything because it just makes them sound even stupider.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
FFX is great but VI is my GOAT. That game would translate very well with modern tech but a boy can dream.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Now at a Staggering 35 Million Sales as Work on Sequel Continues to Ramp Up
It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played and the PL dlc for $30 bucks at the time was insane because it was the best game I played that year. They effed up the release but damn it ended up being an all time great in my books.
Re: 'We Want to Innovate': The Witcher 4 Dev Finds Inspiration in Baldur's Gate 3
I would hope every single game developer takes inspiration from bg3 but I’m bias
Re: The Lost Soul Aside Redemption Arc Starts in Tomorrow's Feature-Packed PS5 Update
@DarianStarfrog so the devs were admitting it’s a mid game. Seems fair.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Sales Top 4 Million with Still No Sign of an Expansion

Re: Twisted Metal Renewed for Season 3 and Gets New Showrunner
Such a fun show! I’m actually amazed that this didn’t totally bomb.
Re: Mini Review: Neon Inferno (PS5) - Beautiful Layers, Chaotic Bullets
Sounds like it just doesn’t stand out from the pack. I’m sure it will be under 10 bucks relatively soon.
Re: The Lost Soul Aside Redemption Arc Starts in Tomorrow's Feature-Packed PS5 Update
It doesn’t feel like a $60 game at all. I played for a bit at my friends. It’s fine but I’d maybe pay 30 max.
Re: PS5 Sony Games Bag 19 Nominations at The Game Awards 2025
There are multiple games this year (E33, GoY, KCD2, DS2 more?) that could win and I’d be totally fine. It was a great year for me.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give ARC Raiders?
What does the in game currency exactly give you? Just costumes? Or can it give you a head start kinda like Helldivers 2 does?
Re: One of PlayStation's Best Developers Marks 40 Years of Incredible Games
Can’t wait for Intergalactic
Re: Poll: Is PS Portal the Biggest Surprise Hit of the PS5 Generation?
I love my portal. I use it more than the tv now. I never have lag. I’ve recently been playing Returnal on it and it’s been fine. I haven’t input lag that’s bad enough to kill me at least. Currently playing Arc Raiders and it also has been perfectly fine.
Re: Rumour: PS Portal Could Be About to Get Even More Compelling
I play more on my portal more then mind on the tv. I never thought I would type those words.

I tried the first one and it was pretty mid imo. I know some people really like it though so I’m hoping this lives up to the hype.

Spartacus in one of my all time favorite shows. I can totally see him as Wolverine. Also RIP Andy Whitfield.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions of Ghost of Yotei on PS5?

Re: Saros Launches Exclusively on PS5 in March 2026, and It Looks Fantastic in First Gameplay
