@tweaknmod I highly recommend giving it a go. I was turned off when it released for many of the same reasons. So much so that I put it down until last month.
2.0 fixes a lot of immersion breaking issues for me. There's still the occasional bug but the game is in great shape now.
I started this a few months back but put it down as there were rumors of a PS5 version. I'm very much looking forward to jumping back in. For once, procrastination has benefitted me! 😃
@Haruki_NLI I completely agree and yet fell into the trap of trophy hunting. In fact, there were times when I refused to play games on my Switch because I wouldn't get a "reward." Thankfully I've gotten away from that and have found I enjoy games for....games! I do like to get the occasional platinum, but it's only because I truly enjoy the experience.
@GADG3Tx87 Never played 2 but Mercanaries 1 was one of the staples of my childhood. Excellent game for its time! Hunting down the officers from the card deck was an amazing system.
I noticed the update this morning when messing around on the 5. I'm intrigued by this game but haven't given it a go yet. Too much in my backlog at the moment! 😬
@nessisonett Extremely random and off topic, but I've got to ask. What was your former profile pic from? I've been wondering for ages and since you changed it thought I should ask sooner than later lol
Makes sense! I've never looked at it that way before. Since the Switch is my secondary console, the thought of filling my Micro SD is non existent haha
@helloim_anthony i think quite a few people have. I saw another post of someone else who received it. Hopefully supply issues won't be an issue much longer!
Random comment...I just got an email from Sony saying I was selected to purchase a PS5 from them. It only took 1 year after signing up for them to get back to me. I was able to get a launch console so it's not much use anymore.
Not a fan of pre-ordering from Gamestop. I had a pre-order down for Biomutant and couldn't pick it up for 3 weeks because the physical location I put it down on was temporarily closed. I went to another location to try and transfer it and contacted customer service without any luck.
@adrianthealchemist I imagine you can, but I haven't made it that far yet. I just arrived in Junon. I haven't decided if I'm going to do that yet as I've heard it is very annoying, but I've heard the Knights of the Round is amazing so I do have an incentive.
I'll be continuing my first play through of the 90's classic FF VII. I'm really enjoying the story and battles so far, but the minigames sure have aged.
Finally started Dying Light for the first time after buying the platinum edition on sale over the weekend. I don't like zombie games, but the world, parkour, and crafting are keeping me hooked.
Absolutely love this series! I played the first one when I was 15 and completed the series in my early 20s. Beating 4 and playing through the prologue felt like I was shutting the door to my childhood.
@Xenomorph_79 I think there's an option to toggle the narrorator on and off or at least limit their input. I agree, though, I will wait for reviews but am cautiously excited.
Never played the original, but I signed it. Not sure if it would change anything, but I know the feeling of wanting a sequel that never happens. RIP Banjo-Threeie 😔

Am I glad I waited? - Yes
Re: PS5's Death Stranding 2 Will Become a Visual Novel to Get You Through Its Most Difficult Parts
As someone who is getting smoked by the Combat Veteran on hard difficulty, this would be a fun solution.
Two more tries before I drop the difficulty to story!

This is great! I started the game in November but got sidetracked with work. Glad I waited to play this!

Re: PlayStation Celebrates Pride 2021 with Free Theme and Curated LGBTQ+ Games List
@Amnesiac Agreed! "All people" aren't free until those who are marginalized are treated as equals. Your post hits the nail on the head.
Re: PlayStation Celebrates Pride 2021 with Free Theme and Curated LGBTQ+ Games List
Very cool! Let's all support equality!
Re: Round Up: Scarlet Nexus Reviews Range from Good to Great

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 8.52 Available to Download Now
@BrintaPap Haha I would love to man, but I think the shipping from the US to Europe would make the cost skyrocket.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy, Far Cry 6 Among Top PS5, PS4 E3 2021 Pre-Orders
@Hypnotoad107 That's interesting because I actually prefer digital for my Switch unless it's a particular game I want physically.
My thought was since it's also a mobile console the user would rather not carry the games with them.
To each their own!

No more Gamestop for me!

Atomic Heart all the way!
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Isn't on PS5, PS4, And Fans Are Baffled
As I own VII & IX on the Switch, that would be my preferred platform to play this on. Hopefully we can see this come to consoles too!
Re: Gallery: Gawk at Gorgeous Kena: Bridge of Spirits PS5 Screens
Very much hyped for this game! It gives me some serious Kameo vibes from the 360 days.
I actually think I'm more excited about this than a lot of AAA games.
Re: Returnal PS5 Patch 1.4.0 to Fix Trophy Issues, Tweak Balancing, and Much More
Bought this yesterday and am enjoying it. It's certainly more difficult than I imagined, but I'll continue powering through!
Re: Death Stranding Director's Cut Coming to PS5 Soon
@Tharsman the sad thing is. I'll probably purchase it again. Only after a deep discount though.
Re: Death Stranding Director's Cut Coming to PS5 Soon
Give me a PS5 upgrade on the original please!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 379

Re: Far Cry 6 Gameplay Reveal Coming This Friday
Haven't played a Far Cry game since Primal and was very underwhelmed with my experience. I'm actually looking forward to this one, though!

@hugoadan You literally took the words out of my mouth lol
Re: Horizon Forbidden West PS5 Gameplay Reveal This Thursday in New State of Play Livestream
Liked the original, but it did have its flaws. Hoping this one will set a new standard for the Horizon IP!
Also, please let me fly a storm bird!
Re: Biomutant (PS4) - The Classic Case of What Could Have Been
Bummed, but this gives me a reason to get Rift Apart at launch!
Re: Rumour: Another 'Major' PS5 Exclusive Final Fantasy Game Will Be Announced at E3
Would love to see a Crisis Core remake as I don't have anyway of playing the original.
Re: Technical Issues Restrict Biomutant to Just 1080p, 60fps on PS5

Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Team Already Planning for Next Game
@Residentsteven I agree they haven't used their talent wisely. The last good game I remember was Kameo.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Team Already Planning for Next Game
Kena reminds me of an old school Rare game. Here's to hoping it'll have as much charm as they did back in the day.
Re: First Impressions: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is an Eye-Popping Demonstration of PS5's Power
Really excited for this to come out! However, if it's only around 20 hours, I'll have to wait for a discount before I jump in.
Re: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Has Been Played By Over 37 Million People

Re: Weird Metal Gear Tweets are Making People Think an Announcement Is Coming Next Week
Would love to at least see 1-4 released for the 4/5. I never had a chance to play them growing up and would love to give them a shot.

Re: Talking Point: What's Next for Cyberpunk 2077, and the State of the Game on PS5, PS4
Just installed this on the 5. Going to give it another shot this weekend.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.21 Out Now on PS5, PS4, Features More Crash and Bug Fixes
@Old-Red Good to know! I'm in a similar situation. I started the game on launch and had to put it down out of frustration.
I've got some time off coming up and really wanted to jump back in and try it with the patches.
Thanks for the advice, a heavy shotgunner sounds like a good plan of action!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.21 Out Now on PS5, PS4, Features More Crash and Bug Fixes
@Old-Red Would you recommend giving it another shot or holding off for the PS5 version?
