I really, really liked this game. But, even for me, it was waaaaay too long. I’ve put some 130 hours in and still have yet to finish it. Could’ve been a really great game if they just made it more concise.
Yes, they should give the time needed to finish these games. But also, the constant ambiguity and their absolute nonsense roadmaps instill little confidence that the next-gen updates, and really anything else from CDPR will ever worth being stoked on.
I’ll always have love for Apple Music’s UI, but all in all, I prefer Spotify more as it is always helping me discover new music. I’d suggest Apple Music for folks who aren’t really interested in finding new bands / songs (and there’s nothing wrong with that).
I think I’m one of the few people that desperately want to love this series, but it just has never clicked. It is tempting to revisit the older games to see if the new shine helps though.
@andreoni79 I still have Dishonored 2 in my backlog (and Prey too), and playing this makes me real stoked to finally play those. The studio is truly great. Depending on what they keep putting out, it might push me over the edge to get a Series X (although probably at the end of the generation). Their games are just so unique.
I was waiting on the Metacritic score before pre-ordering (to get that sweet sweet PS+ discount), and MAN OH MAN this is a good looking game. I've only been able to play a bit this morning before work, but it makes me genuinely sooo excited for other games that are built specifically for PS5 / that don't have a PS4 version. I'm sure GOW and HFW will both look great still, but the NEXT one, without having to consider the PS4, are going to look absolutely out of hand.
Am I the only one that really, reeeeeeally wants to like these games, but they've just not clicked with them? I LOVE both of "The Last of Us", but even after playing all of Uncharted (minus Lost Legacy) it just didn't hit me. I think it may be because there's no element of leveling up or crafting? All that being said though, I'll always checkout what Naughty Dog releases!
I thought Far Cry 4 was fine, but man oh man I couldn't make it more than half way through Far Cry 5. I ended up finding it too samey for my enjoyment. The first few hours were fine, but the game ultimately did not hook me.
Very excited for this game, but it seems wildly short and same-y for the price. I know the new Ratchet and Clank was short too, but the diversity of worlds and overall gameplay made that price worth it to me. Deathloop seems almost like a less creative Dishonored. I'll pick it up once it goes on sale / added to PS+.
@fR_eeBritney dang! That's a bummer to hear. I'm not sure what it was like for others, but for me it really just like...felt incredible. I was instantly sucked in.
I entirely agree with this. I LOVE film directors cuts, but a "directors cut" is 100%, inarguably, not what these PS5 games are. I wish they would've used different terminology for sure. A rare miss for Sony though.
This whole thing has been needlessly, needlessly confusing. I feel really bad for the team that's making this. Whoever is running marketing for them dropped the ball to the extreme.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Updates and Free DLC Pushed Into 2022, Unsurprisingly
What an absolutely, absolute joke.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Detailed, Special Edition Owners Get Four Creation Club DLCs for Free
Where’d you find those PS5 details?? I’ve not been able to locate them anywhere!
Re: PS Plus November 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Eh….was hoping for better.
Re: Still No Release Date on Great Looking Little Devil Inside for PS5
I am shocked that that was all we saw. And no release date lol
Re: PS Store November Savings Sale Has Over 750 PS5, PS4 Game Deals
Deathloop was genuinely so much fun. Would highly recommend picking it up if you haven’t yet!
Re: Spooky Spectres Haunt Red Dead Online As Halloween Pass Lurks
Still crossing my fingers for a PS5 upgrade 🤞🏼
Re: Apple Music Confirmed for PS5, Out Today
I’ll always have love for Apple Music’s UI, but all in all, I prefer Spotify more as it is always helping me discover new music. I’d suggest Apple Music for folks who aren’t really interested in finding new bands / songs (and there’s nothing wrong with that).
Re: Rumour: PS Plus November 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Reveal
Dang…was hoping for some real bangers this month.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy?
Once it gets to half price, I’ll be all in.
Re: GTA Trilogy Adds Waypoints, Mission Restarts, and GTA 5 Controls on PS5, PS4
I think I’m one of the few people that desperately want to love this series, but it just has never clicked. It is tempting to revisit the older games to see if the new shine helps though.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 PS5 Versions Delayed into 2022
They really just need to stop assigning timeframes to either of these. $10 says both will get delayed again.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Gets Age Rated, Release Date Could Be Soon
Neither this, nor the Cyberpunk upgrade, will launch this year. I just wish they would say as much already.
Re: New Gotham Knights PS5, PS4 Trailer Introduces the Court of Owls
Genuinely surprised neither got a release date during the show.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Gets a Head-Popping PS5 Story Trailer
Definitely surprised that neither game got an actual release date.
Re: Video: Which Far Cry Game Is the Best?
I really, really want to like these games, but after like 20 hours they just feel too much of the same.
Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for November 2021 Do You Want?
Anything better than this month haha
I would love to see them really go out with a bang this year though, that’s for sure.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Deathloop?
Genuinely enjoyed this game so much!!!
Re: PS Plus November 2021 Lineup Will Include Three Bonus PSVR Games
Still can't believe they didn't include a horror game for October haha Seems so obvious...
Re: Colourful Co-Op Adventure It Takes Two Has Reached 3 Million Copies Sold
This is suuuch a joy to play with my wife!
Re: Alan Wake Remastered Gameplay Is Looking Fire in 4K
Oh man oh man I am so excited to play this!!! Never played the original, and I LOVED the lore of Control.
Re: Hands On: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Is Mass Effect in Comic Book Clothing
Definitely gonna wait for the reviews on this one.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.31 Includes PS5, PS4 Memory Optimisation, Yet More Bug Fixes
@Danloaded I bought it day one and felt like such a sucker for it. Also still waiting for the PS5 version to play it. Most likely 2022 unfortunately.

Re: PlayStation Showcase 2021: What Time Is Sony's Livestream?
Genuinely so stoked. 2022 is shaping up to be an absolutely bonkers year for gaming.
Re: Rumour: Uncharted PC Collection Is Probably Real, But Leaked Image Looks Fake

Re: Far Cry 6 Sure Does Look Like Far Cry in Latest Previews
I thought Far Cry 4 was fine, but man oh man I couldn't make it more than half way through Far Cry 5. I ended up finding it too samey for my enjoyment. The first few hours were fine, but the game ultimately did not hook me.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal
The new Hitman series is entirely underrated! Unfortunately I already have 2, but I had a blast with it. Will gladly checkout the others.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Release Date Set for February 2022 on PS5, PS4
Unsurprised by this, but still surprised that Playstation is now almost certainly not going to have a summer / fall event.
Re: New Saints Row Game Is a Total Reboot on PS5, PS4 in February 2022
As someone who's never played this series, is there a main draw that sets it apart from GTA? Sort of looked to me as if it were GTA made by Ubisoft.
Re: Soapbox: Where's My Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version, Rockstar?
That would be FANTASTIC.
Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Runs at 60FPS on PS5 with New Patch
YEEEES!!!!! I just restarted my game and am only a few hours in. This is a fantastic surprise!!!!
Re: Deathloop's Julianna PvP and Invasions Explained in QuakeCon Panel
Very excited for this game, but it seems wildly short and same-y for the price. I know the new Ratchet and Clank was short too, but the diversity of worlds and overall gameplay made that price worth it to me. Deathloop seems almost like a less creative Dishonored. I'll pick it up once it goes on sale / added to PS+.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut (PS5) - Excellent Iki Island Expansion Adds to an Already Amazing Adventure
WOO so excited to dive into this.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Adds Free DLC, Very Long List of Updates, Fixes
@Korgon I’m hoping still 2021, but I doubt it.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Details Leave a Lot to Be Desired
$10 says the next gen update won’t launch until 2022.
Re: Abandoned App Patch Drops, Trailer Is the Same as Twitter Tease
@Voltan for sure. They’ve burned up most of the good will folks had about the project.
Re: PS5's Abandoned Trailer a No Show as Blue Box Cites Technical Issues
@Reeneman completely agreed.
Re: Far Cry 5 Is Free This Weekend, Full Game Heavily Discounted
I really liked the game, but couldn’t get past the back 50% - just ended up being too samey. Wish they’d just trim these down honestly lol
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
I mean….ehhhh….not excited about the lineup but I do hope others are!
Re: Random: Olympics Volley Ball Player Kelly Claes Loves Marvel's Spider-Man
Her teammate did not seem impressed hahahaha
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Will Include Free DLC Inspired by Netflix Show

Re: Hideo Kojima Isn't a Fan of Calling Death Stranding PS5 'Director's Cut'
I entirely agree with this. I LOVE film directors cuts, but a "directors cut" is 100%, inarguably, not what these PS5 games are. I wish they would've used different terminology for sure. A rare miss for Sony though.
Re: Abandoned Trailers App Can Be Pre-Loaded from 29th July on PS5, First Trailer Drops in August
This whole thing has been needlessly, needlessly confusing. I feel really bad for the team that's making this. Whoever is running marketing for them dropped the ball to the extreme.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Less Excited for Deathloop on PS5 Than I Should Be
I feel like they might be pushing the game so hard because the preorders are not doing the numbers they hope they were.
I think it’ll be really cool, but it seems very short (even shorter than Hitman). I’m absolutely going to buy it, but once it’s on sale.
Re: PS Store Weekend Offers Include Ubisoft Games, RPGs, and More
@Shepherd_Tallon honestly I found Outer Worlds incredibly boring. I had to stop playing it haha
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Stability 'Satisfactory', Says CDPR, More 'General' Improvements in Development
@vict0RGM this! They need to make ALL DLC free. It would go a long way to gain back trust.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Mario's Hole in One Forces Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to Settle for Third
I genuinely do not understand how those half hearted Nintendo games keep selling so well.
