I've played over 34 hours and have yet to have it crash once. I'm starting to think that people who like to complain just manifest crashes and bugs so they have something to whine about. Is it perfect? No, but nothing is. Is it a lot of fun? Absolutely.

I'm very interested in it, and would be playing it had Oblivion not dropped the same week. Soon as I'm done in Cyrodiil though, it's on.

The fact remains that it has been YEARS since a game I was interested in came to PS Plus before I already played it. Sure, there are some indie or AA titles that may interest me if I try them out, but it's not worth nearly doubling my yearly cost over Essential. Especially when I already have a backlog of AAA titles.

It's really good. I'm still in the sewers but omg I had insane expectations and they're already exceeded. I officially forgive BGS for Fallout 76 AND Starfield just for letting this happen.

@Northern_munkey I agree 100% about the first one being boring.

I live in the U.S. in a city where crime isn't taken seriously anymore, so there is no way I would ever take a portable gaming device with me out of the house...which negates the need for a portable gaming device unfortunately.

Let's remember these are leaks, not photos released by the developer. What ends up getting released could look significantly different from what we're seeing here. Honestly I'm just glad it exists.

This isn't surprising, since the last Nintendo console to be graphically competitive with the current generation was the GameCube like 20 some years ago.

It frightens me how badly I need this to be real.

Multiplayer = I couldn't care less. I guess FromSoft is doing so well that they can afford to leave giant piles of money on the floor in the form of sales they could have gotten on PS5. Whatever. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Fallout 3 & NV, Dragon Age Origins, Witcher 2 and Rayman Origins, please.

No offense intended, but this is the most 1st world problem I've ever heard of.

I'll trade this for Lost Odyssey, please

The PS5 generation will be remembered as being particularly weak, due to the massive amount of time Sony wasted while chasing the live service bag.

What constitutes success these days? I guarantee even at 3.5 million copies, the game turned a profit. So what is the gripe then, that it didn't make ENOUGH money? What a poisonous attitude that can be.

I've always had respect for Tony Hawk, and now I have even more.

I wish nothing but the best for Bam Margera and sincerely want to see him happy and healthy.

The only thing I have against Fallout 76 is that I wish it's devs were working on TES:VI and FO5 instead.

People being held accountable for things they say? About f'n time if you ask me.

I mean, he wasn't really lying, was he? The last Saints Row game that didn't drown in criticism was 2, and that was what, 2008? They had 15+ years to build off that, but instead we got downgrade after downgrade.

I'm never happy to see someone lose their job, but Volition kind of did themselves in with their output.

KCD2 is incredible. I'm glad I took a chance on it.

No Rest for the Wicked looks great so far! Would love the Ori games ported to PS4/PS5 as well. Pretty please.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is an outstanding game and was severely underrated IMO.

If we could somehow have remasters of Chrono Trigger and Lost Odyssey (yes, I know it was a 360 exclusive) on PS5 I would be very happy indeed.

I've been saying for years that Series X/S will be the last Xbox consoles as we know them. Not saying this report proves me right, but it doesn't prove me wrong either.

@nomither6 gaming consoles were never more powerful than PCs. Please list your sources.

That presentation for the Xbone back in 2013 really did them in. I can't even imagine how many gamers who were happy with their 360 that gen said "f this" and went with PS4 and never looked back. I know at least one of them lol.

The next Xbox could beat PS6 to the market by two full calendar years, and it still would not make a damn bit of difference. There's no reason to own an Xbox anymore, all their games are coming to PS anyway, and you can play GP on your phone or PC, so...

Veilguard was a good game, just a really, really bad Dragon Age game.

@Ilovecoffee I hated the first one so I'm doubtful the second one will tickle my fancy. And I like magic in my fantasy RPG's, call me crazy.

Specifically, would love to see the Oblivion remake confirmed with a release date, as well as Avowed confirmed for PS5.

In general, I'd like to see an RPG or two that isn't influenced by Souls and/or doesn't look like an anime, for once. Would it kill someone to make a high-fantasy, medieval Western RPG? F***ing please?

Edit - removed open-world, I don't even care if it's on rails

@HappyGamerGirl one of my favorite gaming memories ever is heading to the Imperial City Market District at night in Oblivion, and breaking into and robbing every store I could before the sun came up. Those were great times.

Admittedly I've been a pretty vocal critic of the first game. I felt hustled paying full price at release for a game that, IMO, was not worth a AAA price and not ready for release period. Once it was stable and I was able to play it, I was bored to death. I felt their commitment to real-life came at the expense of fun, and going into the sequel I was certain I would never give it a chance.

But reading how everyone is loving it so much, I'm actually thinking about GameFlying it now. Or if anyone I know still uses discs I'll try to borrow it. I'm super apprehensive about giving these guys more of my cash though after my experience with the first game.

Is there anybody out there who is giving this a 9 or a 10 that HATED the first game? The more people there are in that camp, the more confident I would be honestly. Cause hate is a strong word...and I hated the first game.

The amount of filter gymnastics I have to pull to to get out the garbage is unreal. Hopefully this makes it easier. There's a guy out there making games called "I'm in love with your dead grandma" or something like that and every time I see those games I want to punch that guy in the face.

The only thing I would change if my finances suddenly improved greatly is that I would move out of the United States until at least 2029 or maybe for good depending on who would have me.

I played HL at launch and finished the main storyline but didn't have the desire to finish up any side content, and was honestly kind of disappointed with it overall, considering my expectations. After over a year of not coming back to it once, I started fresh and LOVED IT. Ended up doing 100% everything and got the plat. Not sure why it didn't take the first time.

@nomither6 to be fair, the top games in the world (your words) are at the top because they're free to play, not because they're live service. People want free s**t, simple as that. It doesn't also mean they want live service garbage.

HE'S LYING AND HE KNOWS IT.

Anyone who's not familiar with the development hell that was DAV, go read up on what actually happened and you'll begin to understand why it failed.

I think they had unfair and unrealistic expectations. I think it's a pretty good game and really enjoyed the hours I spent playing it.

Racing no give me jollies.

Avowed please.

Bro who is still playing Division 2??

The lack of PS4 is an obvious move to get people who haven't upgraded to PS5 to do so. If the game can run on 2015 mobile tech (Switch) something tells me they could have gotten it up and running on PS4 had they wanted to...

Also, yay no GP. That was annoying, though I understand why they did it for a few years.

I still feel hustled by buying the first game at full price only to find out it was a basically a boredom simulator, but for those of you who enjoyed the first game, I hope the second is another heaping helping of whatever you found enjoyable about the first one.

That's the nicest possible thing I can say about this franchise.

In my opinion the only way forward for Xbox, as far as hardware is concerned, is for them to make the next Xbox basically a PC. Like you can install Windows on it if you want, that sort of thing.

Starfield was a turd, Bethesda and BioWare are gonna be in side-by-side graves by the end of the decade. I will take Avowed, Flight Simulator, and that Oblivion remake that sounds really promising though please. Nothing else on Xbox really interests me or else I would have kept my Series console...

@Nyne11Tyme that happened twice actually, development started as a single player game and then in 2018 or so EA said scrap it, start over and make it live service. Then later, after the success of Fallen Order I believe, they scrapped it again and this time said make it single player...

@themightyant how you feel about this game is how I feel about Forspoken.

This is what happens when the #1 priority of your game is not to offend ANYBODY. The companions are bland, they're all white knights and I don't care a lick about any of them. A little variety would have been nice...

What made Origins, and even DA2, memorable experiences for me were the companions. Morrigan, Leliana, Isabela, Anders and Oghren were memorable characters who stood out, made you care what happened to them. The Veilguard companions, for lack of a better term, suck. They're all as inoffensive as possible and I don't care a lick about any of them. There's nothing wrong with having idealogy in games, but this one feels like it's REALLY pushing an agenda, and it takes away from the experience for me. Even though it's an agenda that I for the most part agree with.

The next DA game (if there is one) better be a massive shift back to the style of Origins or else I'll probably be done with the series. Each game, in my opinion, has been just a little bit worse than it's predecessor.

If Sony is going to charge $700 for an "enthusiast" console (with less features than the original) then I can imagine they would charge $1500 for a PS6 that includes a handheld that can play the entire library. Probably closer to $2000 honestly.

Just wanted to say it's been 15 months since I downgraded from Extra to Essential, and NOT ONCE has a game come or gone that even made me consider going back up to Extra.
