@Nepp67 It would be really funny for them to implement it, in just one space, in some very backwards way. Like in a dungeon, a wall that looks climbable with yellow paint but if you touch it daggers come out, or it's the skin of some massive beast, etc.
Exclusives as day one's for either Game Pass or PS+ do not make economic sense. It's as simple as that. Microsoft has already started to pay the price for doing this, and it'll only get worse.
@nyr2k2 I describe Elden Ring and all souls like games to my non-gamer friends very similar to the risk in reward, addictive nature of casino games like blackjack. it’s the holding on to all your souls are and never knowing if around the corner, there’s gonna be some massive boss that’s gonna kill you. You’re gonna lose all of those and you might or might not make it back to that same spot to regain them. for me that is what keeps me coming back - at least one of the things. And there’s also nothing wrong at all with not liking the sorts of games. The warning is basically on the sleeve, so I think most gamers know what they’re signing up for when they play souls games.
This is the first From DLC I’ve ever played. I’m genuinely awful at all Souls games, but, I find the challenge so rewarding and addicting. Truly bizarre for people to give the game bad marks for…being what it’s known for…?
230'something hours into my first playthrough. Still discovering things. Man oh man am I stoked for the DLC LET'S GOOOO!!!!!! It's definitely slide into my favorite game of all time. Unmatched to me.
If AC Shadows and SW Outlaws review favourably I could 100% see myself buying each at full price. I think both look FANTASTIC, but I rarely pre-order before reviews drop haha
I still think Destiny 2 looks like a game I could love. However, I've tried "onboarding" a few times and I honestly have found starting to jump in at this point / these past two years, to be tremendously confusing.
Honestly, even though the past two mainline AC games were bloated beyond bloat, I had such a fun time with them lol
The ONLY issue I had with Valhalla was the...well, actual Valhalla / super natural part. Something about that really, really bugged me. But yeah...I'm a sucker for these AC games Haha
The update is fine. My hope is Bethesda switches engines and once more delivers at the quality of generations before. It's just simply not possible with their current toolset.
Yaaaaay! I was waiting for this upgrade before finishing the game. Excited to dive back in! No, it's not the best game ever, but I had a good time with it.
Dead Cells, along with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Sifu, falls into that rare basket of games I absolutely love, but am absolutely not nearly good enough to beat lol Stoked to see what they do next!
@puddinggirl I'm just waiting to watch it until I finish Hahaha I don't want to risk anything (even location spoilers). I never played the original FF7 and FF7Remake was my first FF ever. So stoked to watch this at some point.
The amount of effort it takes to make a game multi-platform (specifically for xbox) and how little they sell compared to being just on Playstation is just simply not worth it. It's easy math.
Played the recent Beta (or Alpha? idk what it's called) and boy oh boy was it boring. I feel super bad for the team that worked on this for so long only for most of us to just crap on it.
I managed to play Part 2 not knowing that you get to play as another character (not naming names in case you too don't know this) and it was suuuuuch a sick surprise.
I remember coming to what I thought was the end and saying to my wife "huh...great game, but pretty short" and then moving to the second half of the game totally being blown away.
So, I really did not like GTA5. I found the characters to be really unlikeable. Loved GTA4 and of the little I’ve seen from GTA6, they’re already more enjoyable main characters to me.
Very excited about this. I found the characters from GTA5 really unlikeable and tough to root for (I know I’m in the minority with that opinion lol). I’m 100% down for a more mature story with all the GTA silliness mixed in.
Count me as one of those! I haven’t played since it was available on iOS hahaha The original map and gameplay is seriously so fun. Definitely have been playing a few matches a day since the drop.
The biggest hurdle they have is onboarding new players. I think the Destiny universe looks super interesting, but after trying to get into it 3 seperate times now, I just find it way, way too daunting. Although, I'd imagine this is a similar issue for a lot of GAAS? Or maybe not?

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
If it's a combat heavy game, like GOW, I will do frame rate over graphics every time. However, I do love if both are an option.
