Not gonna watch anything out of respect for the devs. They have been through a lot lately and judging by how they're treated by their "fans" on Twitter, I'll just say i feel bad for them.
"In the case of Riot Games’ enormous hero shooter, you’ll get gongs for racking up 1,000 headshots, dealing an outrageous amount of damage, and even using your abilities 4,000 times. A lot of these Trophies are going to come naturally during gameplay, and so you won’t have to specifically go out of your way to earn them"
So, you're telling me that you'll actually get trophies in a online FPS competitive game naturally, just by playing the game, instead of losing your focus by doing things that can negatively impact your team just to get a trophy??? Yeah...what a bummer...
I usually disagree with most reviews from this website, since for some reason all their 7/10 games (with exception of Rise of the Ronin, which got an abysmal 6) are very good games, but Jesus...this one takes the prize for the "i disagree completely with your final score"...and yes, only the final score, because i actually can't find a review here. It's just a text explaining how the game works with a 7 slapped at the end.
7/10 isn't bad but it's definitely not the score this game deserves. This is not your typical JRPG with lighthearted story or with the cool style of Persona. This is a very unique, challenging and weird RPG that more people should give it a try and this score and the negatives might scare people away from giving this game a fair shot.
I really really really hope no one takes this review seriously and give this game a try. Read Steam reviews, ask about the game on Megaten subreddit, watch video reviews from YouTubers that actually play JRPGs and know SMT franchise, but don't skip on this game.
I missed playing SMT IV on my 3DS and this game is everything i was hoping for and I'm glad the game is now playable on Playstation
Will this strategy work? I don't know, but I jumped ship from PC to PS5, main reason being a lot of PC ports that i was buying were just bad and i couldn't be bothered to keep buying them anymore on PC. I was reading and posting on a few forums on Steam last week about this very issue. Some users were experiencing stutters on Sekiro, Elden Ring and DS3 on PC, just like i did, and i "solved" this issue by playing them on my PS5 (except ER has to be the PS4 Pro version). Same goes for The Evil Within 2, FF7 Remake, Steelrising and more recently, Hogwarts Legacy. I've seen at least two users on Steam that dropped the PC version of HL and started playing on PS5 because of the stutters. You obviously won't have high end graphics, this is not the console's goal, but at least you can play these games without too much hassle. Will this always be the case? No. I'm pretty sure some people never experienced such issues on their PC, but I'm talking about my experiences. And at least i can buy these games while not being forced to keep upgrading my GPU and CPU, so that helps me financially a lot. I'm a very specific case, but i don't see myself using PC as my main gaming platform anymore, even if Sony keeps releasing their games on PC on the next generation. It's just not worth the effort and money for me, at least. To each their own, though.
This game is awesome. Thankfully i didn't take Push Square's review seriously and bought the game Day 1...best decision i ever made. And i skipped DD2 (a game this website was praising a lot when it launched), second best decision i ever made. Nowadays i tend to ignore all the reviews from this website and just read the news, third best decision i ever made
Does it really devalue PlayStation as a platform? Yes, i think so. We've had a good beginning of the year with great PS5 titles but from here on now it's pretty much the "PC Port year" and less PS5 games. I don't like it.
Did the whole Helldivers 2 thing sour your perspective? No. I couldn't care less about these issues. Not my problem.
Let me make something clear, though: these are MY OPINIONS on the matter. I've seen time and time again PC people here or on Twitter getting pissed and trying to start an argument about "why PC gaming and Steam are better and PC is inevitable and yadda yadda yadda" but i don't care. This is MY perspective, as selfish as it can be, after all these questions are individual. So don't bother pestering me about what i think or what i don't like because i won't change my mind and i'm aware Sony won't either. I game on PC too (less now), i have +250 games on my Steam library and at least +150 games on Epic and 50 or more on GOG. You people need to learn to let others express themselves without getting worked up
One was released at the end cycle (7th year) of a very successful console, during the pandemic, a time where a lot of people were playing (and buying) games all the time. Another one was released at the 3rd year of a console that only in the last 2 years was easy to find (again, because of the pandemic) and that's it's still expensive for most people that are still playing on a PS4.
That's good to know. I almost cancelled my pre order of this game after reading some reviews, including one from this website, but I'm glad i chose this game over DD2.
I don't care about FPS as long as the game isn't fast paced, though i do care about games that only gives you the choice to play it with uncapped framerate and the framerate isn't a stable 60fps. If i can select 30fps (with no framepacing) I'm okay. And that's it, these are my only gripes with bad performance. Other than that, I'm fine. If a game can't hit 60fps all the time, i don't mind (as long as i can select other mode with 30fps). If a game only runs at 30fps, i don't mind either.
Subreddit feedback of this game (also Twitter) has been more positive than i initially though, to be honest. I'm also willing to give games a second chance
(especially the ones i already own) instead of acting like "I'll never come back, they lost me forever" or "they need to change a LOT to bring me back yet". I dunno, that sounds overdramatic. It's a videogame, not a relationship. I'll check out the update if i have the time.
I played the first game and i didn't like it at all. I even wrote a review on Steam talking about its flaws (some of them that still exist in the sequel) back in 2018. I pretty much believed in the fans rather than reviewers and journalists. The guy that reviewed this game here also reviewed FF7 Rebirth and I'm glad i didn't take his words seriously.
Played it, enjoyed and wishlisted. Performance, presentation and gameplay were top notch, but i have too many games to play and this one is quite expensive in Brazil, so I'll pick it up later. Didn't think i was gonna enjoy it and in the end i was impressed
All i know is that I'll skip the Pro gladly. Not gonna spend money again on another hardware that will probably last less than 3 years because by then a PS6 will be out. I'd rather wait and play everything i can on base PS5 and then jump to a PS6 (which hopefully will have BC) to play all PS4 and PS5 games at higher framerates. I still own a very simple 1080p 60hz TV. I just care about new and fun games to play and that's it
Just bought a physical copy of this game. I'll test and see if it's good or mid as this review seems to point out and come back here to either agree or disagree with the reviewer
The FF7 Rebirth review didn't stop me from enjoying that game and this review didn't convince me to buy this one (i played and bought the first one twice but i didn't like it)
I'll skip this one, just like i did with the PS4 Pro. We're still getting PS4 games (!!!) and we're in the middle of this generation. I can't be bothered to get a new machine at the end of this year when in 2026-27 PS6 will be out. I'd rather save my money for the next gen consoles and upgrade my PC.
@AverageGamer "You do you. But you are literally making accusations that console also don't suffer from these issues.
When you say stuff like " no stutters, bugs, crashes" that literally implying that does not happen on console which is an incorrect statement no matter if it your personal experience or not. If you want to keep it personal experience than phase it as such... Just don't leave it as a blank statement."
No I'm, not going to phrase whatever i think in any way YOU want. I didn't experience any of these issues so my statement will not change because I'm not writing a damn essay, I'm posting a comment on a website. The fact that you want me change something just to make you satisfied is absurd and I'll not do such thing.
"I never said that you shouldn't read forums, but you shouldn't be using them as factual tools."
Yes i will because people there are reporting issues and if you have a bunch of them reporting the same issue then you have a wide problem. And once again you're telling me what you think i should do and once again i will tell you i won't. It's my choice, my money, my way of doing things.
"Which is why people like to problem dump issue on forums. But steam forums aren't the proper channels to provide information to the developer. So, you're really just yelling into an echo chamber. Hoping that the developer will read your post and fix the issue. Even if you didn't open a support ticket about the issue using the proper channels."
Nixxes did reply in some threads and then they disappeared. They already moved on but people reporting these issues are looking for help from other users that might have going through the same thing, so it's still useful.
"I never said that PC was better than console. I kept the post Spider-Man because I didn't want to mention bunch of other games"
And yet you feel bothered by my statements just because you don't like what i said or how i said. And you reaffirm this stance here:
"You didn't really phrase it just as your personal experience tho."
I don't need and i won't say anything that you want. You're literally telling me "hey just change your comment to say this is your personal experience" as if I'm somehow obligated to do so. You're not my boss or anything. I'm not going to argue about my choices of words because this is just a waste of time. Like i said, this is not am official statement or some document, this is me saying how i feel and what i think. You're acting as if I'm not saying exactly what you want I'd be committing a crime. That's not how internet works.
And from now on you'll be on my ignore list because this isn't about games anymore, is about you wanting me to do whatever you want.
@AverageGamer you don't know me so i advise you to stop right here about any accusations about me lying or anything like that because i will report you for harassment if you keep doing this. Behave yourself. What i have or what i don't have in my house is my problem. You're crossing the line.
And i obviously will read the forums. I don't want to fool myself into thinking every game is perfect, if i wanted that then i wouldn't even read reviews. If that's your argument, then PC is no better than consoles because SM aren't the only games with issues on PC, i already said that in other posts here.
As for me, I'm using RT in both Remastered and MM and never had any issues or crashes. The game can also be patched, by the way. Nixxes are reading these threads on Steam every day but the problem is still there. If i didn't have any issues with my console but i do have with my PC then it's clear what's my best choice.
People are allowed to have their own opinion based on their own experiences, and that's what i did here, although some people apparently care too much about what i think, for some reason...
@nomither6 10 threads since February 15th with the same topic: "crashing". That's just the first three pages from Spiderman forums.
What's Steam forums compared to reviews? The place where people go to report on their experience with the game and ask for help, that's why the forums are so useful. It takes too much time to write a review, but not a thread about an issue that you're experiencing with a game. After all, you either do this or you won't be able to play the game, and that's why i go there. I don't want to be amused by cute reviews, i want to know if the game is a bad port or not. If you ignore these things, that's not my problem. I don't. I always do this research.
Also, most people are too lazy to change their reviews if the game starts to show problems later on their playthrough, same goes the other way, when the game is patched but people don't change their negative reviews. These Steam reviews can be quite unreliable, but that will never happen on the forums because people are posting there every day.
@jt887 i don't think it'll make a difference, is just a matter of personal experiences. I never had any issues with my PS4, Xbox One or PS5 crashing. I don't even have issues with crashes on PC, but i do have issues with performance or other things. Building a rig takes time and patience, and i don't have money for that now. In Brazil these things are really expensive and i usually move around a lot, so a desktop wouldn't help me that much. But to each their own, if you're having a good time with your PC, that's cool.
@nomither6 that's not even an argument, but anyway, spend some time on Steam forums and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Both Spiderman games have issues with crashing. You can literally go now on their forums on Steam and read dozens of threads about this issue
TLOU Part 1 was a mess on launch and still is (a lesser) mess
Returnal still has issues with crashing for co-op and performance issues related to a possibly memory leakage
Steelrising is a disaster in terms of performance, regardless of your hardware. Have you read their FAQ on Steam? Take a look
Hogwarts Legacy performance is still bad and people are still complaining about it
FF7 Remake is a stutterfest
Remnant 2 is still running horribly
I could keep going but i made my point. I jumped ship from PC a couple of months ago just because PC ports are a russian roulette, you never know what you're gonna get. If you're fine with your experience, good for you. But don't tell me that I'm wrong if i spent a lot of time and money in these PC games for the last 3 years. There are some really good ports like Lies of P and Doom Eternal, but every now and then we get a Wild Hearts
@AverageGamer well, that's not my case. I don't have any issues with crashes or annoying stutters on any of my consoles. I'm just reporting what I've been experiencing
Meh, I'm fine with the PS5 version. I'm at the moment in my life where i just want to pick up a game and play. No system requirements, no stutters, bugs, crashes or shader compilation screens. And i also don't want to buy another gaming notebook. Didn't have a good experience with some of these Sony ports, so I'm fine with playing them on console. It's way easier that way
I've just installed a 1tb SSD on my PS5 today. What I'm doing is using 2 external HDD to manage PS5 games and avoid long download times and they're helping me a lot. They're slow af but it's better than downloading something like Jedi Survivor or FF7 Remake again
@DennisReynolds yes, I'm aware of the the issues with Forspoken and the improvements. I'm not sure why they didn't change this issue with Rebirth, maybe they did something with the engine that it can't be fixed. Maybe they customized the code to the point where this isn't possible, but it would be great if they did that. Unfortunately it's either hit or miss with these japanese devs. Forspoken was fixed on PS5 and PC. Wo Long was fixed on PC. FF XVI and Elden Ring are still performing badly on PS5, Elden Ring could be fixed with a lower resolution but they just simply refused to do that. It's just weird that they sometimes care enough to fix these issues and sometimes they don't. I love japanese games, but they're not very good at optimizing games.
@DennisReynolds yes, i am and it's still blurry for me but i don't care. The game is what matters to me and it's good. I can still see framerate drops at 60fps because I'm used to play at that framerate on PC as well. I just don't get stuck in these things. They'll never fix these issues so you either wait for a Pro/PS6 or a PC port (which will probably run like trash since a lot of PC ports nowadays are horrible). I played the demo, i knew what i was getting into, but i don't mind. I would mind if the game was bad, but it isn't so it's fine for me. It could be better? Obviously. Will that hinder my gaming experience? No, not for me.
@Zenos i won't because to me it's better to wait until PS6 is out, as long as it has BC, than buying a Pro because in a couple of years this machine will reach its limits and by then PS6 will be in its final development stages. I can deal just fine with the resolution, though. Especially because I'm still using a 1080p output TV and 30fps is fine for me as well, but to each their own
Oh, i didn't notice that. I'm spending my time actually playing the game, and having fun while doing so, instead of nitpicking or complaining about anything i can.
Also, no, we don't need a PS5 Pro. The game isn't perfect but it's far far far from being a disaster. It performs very well and it looks good too, for the most part. People nowadays care more about resolution and framerate than gameplay mechanics, story and fun factor. I'm not saying SE couldn't have done a better job with this game in terms of resolution or assets quality, but Jesus...the game is so damn fun that I've spent 5h straight playing this evening, and i rarely do that
These are the moments I'm glad i don't take reviews or other people's opinions into account to decide whether i will or will not buy/play any games. Can't wait to get my hands on this one!
It's been 3.5 years since PS5 was released and we're still having a bunch of PS4 games and now they're preparing to launch a PS5 Pro, even though most games out there are still PS4 cross green titles? And who said that Rockstar is planning on making GTA6 a 60fps game??? Hell, it was a miracle that they released a 60fps patch for RDR.
I'm not interested in a Pro, if anything it won't be a huge gap between both base and Pro consoles and probably by the end of this gen, the Pro will be struggling to run most games at 60fps, pretty much like it was with PS4 Pro. To me it's an useless upgrade and I'll be gladly skipping it, just like i did with the PS4 Pro. I'm better off with a PS6 with BC capabilities.
And i agree with other people here, this generation has been VERY underwhelming
Well, since so many PS5 games are being released on PC, and now Xbox games are being released on PS5 too, might as well release some of those Switch games on Playstation platforms, right?
I left PC because of the state of some really atrocious port efforts. In fact, they're getting worse and worse by the day. You either need a high end PC to brute force whatever issue you might have to run X game (and sometimes not even this is enough) or you need to be lucky and not have a garbage port delivered to you. For every Lies of P, there's a Jedi Survivor, Wild Hearts and Hogwarts Legacy coming at you together. I just don't have the patience anymore. PC players are treated like crap and this won't change that soon, if at all. The frustration of buying a game and watching it run with multiple stutters or framerate drops and then watching the same game running smoothly on a console that is definitely weaker than your rig is indescribable. I'm glad i jumped ship. From now on, PC is only for indies and simple AA games
Unoptimized mess, expensive af, unknown IP, UE5 (most games running in this engine are a framerate dip fest), boring plot...this game was doomed from the start and it's all their fault
I bought a PS5 last month, so yep... I'm part of the statistics, but not in Europe, since i live in Brazil. Having a great time with my PS5, just like i had with PS1-PS4
Even when the OG PS4 couldn't handle RE2 Remake, that game was running with unlocked framerate, this is quite common with most RE Engine games since last generation, so i don't see why it could be different in this case. I think this "source" is BS
@carlos82 it's playable, but it can't hit 60fps consistently, though it's no Wild Hearts levels of disaster. At least i don't have any issues with crashes, which a lot of people were experiencing a while back
@Olmaz how about performance? Does it run decently? I've seen Digital Foundry's video about this one and it looks like it runs pretty badly on all platforms. I own this game on PC and oh boy... framerate isn't that good there either.

Yes i will because people there are reporting issues and if you have a bunch of them reporting the same issue then you have a wide problem. And once again you're telling me what you think i should do and once again i will tell you i won't. It's my choice, my money, my way of doing things.
"Which is why people like to problem dump issue on forums. But steam forums aren't the proper channels to provide information to the developer. So, you're really just yelling into an echo chamber. Hoping that the developer will read your post and fix the issue. Even if you didn't open a support ticket about the issue using the proper channels."
Nixxes did reply in some threads and then they disappeared. They already moved on but people reporting these issues are looking for help from other users that might have going through the same thing, so it's still useful.
"I never said that PC was better than console. I kept the post Spider-Man because I didn't want to mention bunch of other games"
And yet you feel bothered by my statements just because you don't like what i said or how i said. And you reaffirm this stance here:
"You didn't really phrase it just as your personal experience tho."
I don't need and i won't say anything that you want. You're literally telling me "hey just change your comment to say this is your personal experience" as if I'm somehow obligated to do so. You're not my boss or anything. I'm not going to argue about my choices of words because this is just a waste of time. Like i said, this is not am official statement or some document, this is me saying how i feel and what i think. You're acting as if I'm not saying exactly what you want I'd be committing a crime. That's not how internet works.
And from now on you'll be on my ignore list because this isn't about games anymore, is about you wanting me to do whatever you want.
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Is Sony's Next PC Port
@AverageGamer you don't know me so i advise you to stop right here about any accusations about me lying or anything like that because i will report you for harassment if you keep doing this. Behave yourself. What i have or what i don't have in my house is my problem. You're crossing the line.
And i obviously will read the forums. I don't want to fool myself into thinking every game is perfect, if i wanted that then i wouldn't even read reviews. If that's your argument, then PC is no better than consoles because SM aren't the only games with issues on PC, i already said that in other posts here.
As for me, I'm using RT in both Remastered and MM and never had any issues or crashes. The game can also be patched, by the way. Nixxes are reading these threads on Steam every day but the problem is still there. If i didn't have any issues with my console but i do have with my PC then it's clear what's my best choice.
People are allowed to have their own opinion based on their own experiences, and that's what i did here, although some people apparently care too much about what i think, for some reason...
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Is Sony's Next PC Port
@nomither6 10 threads since February 15th with the same topic: "crashing". That's just the first three pages from Spiderman forums.
What's Steam forums compared to reviews? The place where people go to report on their experience with the game and ask for help, that's why the forums are so useful. It takes too much time to write a review, but not a thread about an issue that you're experiencing with a game. After all, you either do this or you won't be able to play the game, and that's why i go there. I don't want to be amused by cute reviews, i want to know if the game is a bad port or not. If you ignore these things, that's not my problem. I don't. I always do this research.
Also, most people are too lazy to change their reviews if the game starts to show problems later on their playthrough, same goes the other way, when the game is patched but people don't change their negative reviews. These Steam reviews can be quite unreliable, but that will never happen on the forums because people are posting there every day.
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Is Sony's Next PC Port
@jt887 i don't think it'll make a difference, is just a matter of personal experiences. I never had any issues with my PS4, Xbox One or PS5 crashing. I don't even have issues with crashes on PC, but i do have issues with performance or other things. Building a rig takes time and patience, and i don't have money for that now. In Brazil these things are really expensive and i usually move around a lot, so a desktop wouldn't help me that much. But to each their own, if you're having a good time with your PC, that's cool.
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Is Sony's Next PC Port
@nomither6 that's not even an argument, but anyway, spend some time on Steam forums and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Both Spiderman games have issues with crashing. You can literally go now on their forums on Steam and read dozens of threads about this issue
TLOU Part 1 was a mess on launch and still is (a lesser) mess
Returnal still has issues with crashing for co-op and performance issues related to a possibly memory leakage
Steelrising is a disaster in terms of performance, regardless of your hardware. Have you read their FAQ on Steam? Take a look
Hogwarts Legacy performance is still bad and people are still complaining about it
FF7 Remake is a stutterfest
Remnant 2 is still running horribly
I could keep going but i made my point. I jumped ship from PC a couple of months ago just because PC ports are a russian roulette, you never know what you're gonna get. If you're fine with your experience, good for you. But don't tell me that I'm wrong if i spent a lot of time and money in these PC games for the last 3 years. There are some really good ports like Lies of P and Doom Eternal, but every now and then we get a Wild Hearts
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Is Sony's Next PC Port
@AverageGamer well, that's not my case. I don't have any issues with crashes or annoying stutters on any of my consoles. I'm just reporting what I've been experiencing
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Is Sony's Next PC Port
Meh, I'm fine with the PS5 version. I'm at the moment in my life where i just want to pick up a game and play. No system requirements, no stutters, bugs, crashes or shader compilation screens. And i also don't want to buy another gaming notebook. Didn't have a good experience with some of these Sony ports, so I'm fine with playing them on console. It's way easier that way
Re: Pre-Orders for Unannounced S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Go Live in Japan
Never played any of these games before. Might be a good time to give it a chance, since i loved Metro Exodus
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Demands a Futuristic PC
I could buy the PC version, but i just got myself a PS5 a couple of months ago and i just bought this game for the console. I'm good.
Re: Rise of the Ronin Is Another PS5 Exclusive with a Huge Download Size
I've just installed a 1tb SSD on my PS5 today. What I'm doing is using 2 external HDD to manage PS5 games and avoid long download times and they're helping me a lot. They're slow af but it's better than downloading something like Jedi Survivor or FF7 Remake again
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
@DennisReynolds yes, I'm aware of the the issues with Forspoken and the improvements. I'm not sure why they didn't change this issue with Rebirth, maybe they did something with the engine that it can't be fixed. Maybe they customized the code to the point where this isn't possible, but it would be great if they did that. Unfortunately it's either hit or miss with these japanese devs. Forspoken was fixed on PS5 and PC. Wo Long was fixed on PC. FF XVI and Elden Ring are still performing badly on PS5, Elden Ring could be fixed with a lower resolution but they just simply refused to do that. It's just weird that they sometimes care enough to fix these issues and sometimes they don't. I love japanese games, but they're not very good at optimizing games.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
@DennisReynolds yes, i am and it's still blurry for me but i don't care. The game is what matters to me and it's good. I can still see framerate drops at 60fps because I'm used to play at that framerate on PC as well. I just don't get stuck in these things. They'll never fix these issues so you either wait for a Pro/PS6 or a PC port (which will probably run like trash since a lot of PC ports nowadays are horrible). I played the demo, i knew what i was getting into, but i don't mind. I would mind if the game was bad, but it isn't so it's fine for me. It could be better? Obviously. Will that hinder my gaming experience? No, not for me.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
@Zenos i won't because to me it's better to wait until PS6 is out, as long as it has BC, than buying a Pro because in a couple of years this machine will reach its limits and by then PS6 will be in its final development stages. I can deal just fine with the resolution, though. Especially because I'm still using a 1080p output TV and 30fps is fine for me as well, but to each their own
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
Oh, i didn't notice that. I'm spending my time actually playing the game, and having fun while doing so, instead of nitpicking or complaining about anything i can.
Also, no, we don't need a PS5 Pro. The game isn't perfect but it's far far far from being a disaster. It performs very well and it looks good too, for the most part. People nowadays care more about resolution and framerate than gameplay mechanics, story and fun factor. I'm not saying SE couldn't have done a better job with this game in terms of resolution or assets quality, but Jesus...the game is so damn fun that I've spent 5h straight playing this evening, and i rarely do that
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction
These are the moments I'm glad i don't take reviews or other people's opinions into account to decide whether i will or will not buy/play any games. Can't wait to get my hands on this one!
Re: Upgraded PS5 Pro Planning to Be the Best Place to Play GTA 6
It's been 3.5 years since PS5 was released and we're still having a bunch of PS4 games and now they're preparing to launch a PS5 Pro, even though most games out there are still PS4 cross green titles? And who said that Rockstar is planning on making GTA6 a 60fps game??? Hell, it was a miracle that they released a 60fps patch for RDR.
I'm not interested in a Pro, if anything it won't be a huge gap between both base and Pro consoles and probably by the end of this gen, the Pro will be struggling to run most games at 60fps, pretty much like it was with PS4 Pro. To me it's an useless upgrade and I'll be gladly skipping it, just like i did with the PS4 Pro. I'm better off with a PS6 with BC capabilities.
And i agree with other people here, this generation has been VERY underwhelming
Re: Could SMT 5: Vengeance Be the Long-Awaited PS5, PS4 Port?
Well, since so many PS5 games are being released on PC, and now Xbox games are being released on PS5 too, might as well release some of those Switch games on Playstation platforms, right?
Re: Sony Plans to Improve Profit Margins with 'Aggressive' PC Release Strategy
I left PC because of the state of some really atrocious port efforts. In fact, they're getting worse and worse by the day. You either need a high end PC to brute force whatever issue you might have to run X game (and sometimes not even this is enough) or you need to be lucky and not have a garbage port delivered to you. For every Lies of P, there's a Jedi Survivor, Wild Hearts and Hogwarts Legacy coming at you together. I just don't have the patience anymore. PC players are treated like crap and this won't change that soon, if at all. The frustration of buying a game and watching it run with multiple stutters or framerate drops and then watching the same game running smoothly on a console that is definitely weaker than your rig is indescribable. I'm glad i jumped ship. From now on, PC is only for indies and simple AA games
Re: Immortals of Aveum Cost $125 Million, Branded a 'Truly Awful Idea'
Unoptimized mess, expensive af, unknown IP, UE5 (most games running in this engine are a framerate dip fest), boring plot...this game was doomed from the start and it's all their fault
Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Europe's Best-Selling New Game of January, PS5 Sales Up
I bought a PS5 last month, so yep... I'm part of the statistics, but not in Europe, since i live in Brazil. Having a great time with my PS5, just like i had with PS1-PS4
Re: UK Sales Charts: Suicide Squad Swings Past Persona 3 Reload for Number One Debut
Reading some comments here made me lose some brain cells.
Anyway, good for Rocksteady. Planning on buying this game after I'm done with FF7 stuff
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
Even when the OG PS4 couldn't handle RE2 Remake, that game was running with unlocked framerate, this is quite common with most RE Engine games since last generation, so i don't see why it could be different in this case. I think this "source" is BS
Re: Big RoboCop: Rogue City Patch Adds New Game +, New Difficulty Option, and More
@carlos82 it's playable, but it can't hit 60fps consistently, though it's no Wild Hearts levels of disaster. At least i don't have any issues with crashes, which a lot of people were experiencing a while back
Re: Big RoboCop: Rogue City Patch Adds New Game +, New Difficulty Option, and More
@Olmaz how about performance? Does it run decently? I've seen Digital Foundry's video about this one and it looks like it runs pretty badly on all platforms. I own this game on PC and oh boy... framerate isn't that good there either.
