I'm a 1000% convinced that statement did not put it to bed....

@Frmknst Or just try it for free, or the money you already paying for PS Plus. I did the Fallout 4 modern upgrade , and although it was only $10, wasn't worth it.

Playing like I'm doing something important outside, instead of listening to kids scream inside. Happy Mother's Day, everyone.

Microsoft is going the way of SEGA but it's not like anyone has to feel pity for Microsoft. Still a beast of a company with so much going on that the (almost assuredly) demise of their current console isn't surprising. If they can pull off a comeback, that will be more surprising.

@Northern_munkey It's 2024, if people can't find something to complain about within 5 seconds, they make stuff up. I couldn't care less what anyone plays on, or what games they play. It's the latest rage to find outrage wherever you can...

With all the other crappy games that come out, this is okay by me. Keep getting the feeling from some of the not-so-positive gaming news that we are headed into a horrible gaming drought.

I'm probably in a very small minority who the first game didn't click for. Not a big fan of rogue-type titles and definitely not procedural generated dungeons. I probably could have lived with one or the other. Is 2 basically the same combination?

@mariomaster96 Kept thinking this is all Cloud's fever dream. Whether or not, the events are real in that universe was certainly room for debate.

I always know corporate malarkey when I see it, it usually starts with "for your security and safety"....

Stellar Blade this weekend

My hones opinion, I like the game but also think it shows how much of a drought this console generation has been, that we thirst for almost anything with some action, at this point, and especially something that doesn't have that Western hemisphere 2024 filtering on it.

Microsoft gonna be the new SEGA soon....

I know a lot of gamers, not heard one of them who said have you played this game yet?

Yeah, already own it so upgrade was free on Playstation. Played it for an hour or so. Looks really good but same old same old. Sure hope Elderscrolls comes out soon and I live to see Fallout 5.

@Yorozayu Yep. Especially for a named brand gaming co. I notice indies tend to get a benefit of the doubt +1/+2 scoring. At least seems that way to me and I do get the "doing more with less" sentiment.

And for that reason, it's just a no from me dog...

If the demo was anything to go by, I'd say 8 is about right. Fun to play but story seemed a little off kilter and navigation was a little weird. I also spent some time in demo with movement mechanics and the jumping seemed a little less than intuitive around high objects, which lead to falling in some places you wouldn't expect in a game like this. I'm sure it's still a load of fun but I wasn't expecting a 10 no matter how bad we all wanted to play it. 8 is fine.

Looks like a mobile game advert...

Switch version getting hammered for performance issues

@QualityGeezer Probably as a supporter has first crack at articles. Love the posts as well.

@breakneck Interesting perspective, I felt Remake was more bland and had a forgettable story. So much so that it was surreal that Cloud and I were having the same "I don't remember much but this all seems somewhat familiar" moments. It was like I truly was sharing his fever dream in Rebirth. LOL

Knowing you paid to support a project and even pirates will probably be playing it before you.... priceless.

Probably straight to gamepass...

So mad. I mistakenly purchased the FF16 deluxe edition add on instead of the DLC season pass, that was both marked $24.99. Sony wouldn't refund me so I guess I won't be playing. Not given them more more money. Ugh....

@ATaco Mine expired almost a year ago and I haven't seen a single thing to make me think I need to renew it.

@Nepp67 DD2 is definitely a slog. It's in the genre I usually adore but I don't get the hype. I'm not taking away from the millions who enjoy it but it just didn't click for me.

@Jayslow I'm corn-fused, you playing FF16 with a keyboard on the PS5. I'm sure it's just a joke that went over my head. I'm not that tall.

Oh... Ubisoft... what are we going to do with you?

@Nem Agreed. Options should be available for everyone to play how they want. Especially as gamers age and reflexes weren't quiet what they were, not to mention accessibility for all players. I'm glad people are able to enjoy difficult games but why limit only those players? Having said that, I doubt this is going to be as hard as some rouge-lite game but more options is always better, at least to me.

I'm sharpening my torches and lighting my pitchforks, preparing to fight off hordes of scalpers.

It's not really being marketed, either. Outside of game sites, I haven't seen a single ad, but maybe I'm just not plugged in enough.

@Anke When they stop hiring help that's less interested in entertainment than they are about other issues. So, probably no time soon.

@Pranwell I play it before I go to bed each night. It's not a forgettable experience but it's the very definition of repetitive.

@Aeula Really? Seemed to be the most popular but guess that doesn't always equate to best.

@Gremio108 As long as it's not SBJ

Too many companies worried more about social messaging than profit. Makes sense.

@LN78 Good to hope for the best. The trailer seemed a little more comical than I was hoping for, though. Think dramatic more fits this genre but we'll see. I'm willing to waste an hour to find out.

That sounded like he was just begging people not to wear armor. Is that some kind of reverse psychology?

The most disappointing game I've paid full price for, in years. (By a large margin.)

@Czar_Khastik Most (usually self-proclaimed) AAAA games are garbage. Just give me a good game.

So, I guess I'll get Stellar Blade and also pick up Stellar Blade. Then after those, I'll get Stellar Blade. What a great month.

@Gamestation Why get an Xbox if you build a decent PC? Pretty much the exact same games.

@B_Lindz Definitely an issue with single player games. I finished Rebirth and said ok, what's next. There isn't a single decent PS5 single player game I haven't played. Depressing....

@Ultrasmiles and the will of scalpers vs Sony's ability to deter them. I think they all talk a big game but do the bare minimum to stop it.

@MomsSpaghetti Think you have to look at long term sales but yeah, little early to be calling a game that just released a classic. As I played through, though, I thought this was a game that could stand the test of time. I think we've just been eating so well in this category that it will take a good drought before people pick some of these up.

@Matthewnh I feel the opposite. Maybe it's the standard versions that are pointless. Less than 10 stellar must-have games (IMO) later and we are staring down an imminent Pro release? What's the point of not waiting for a Pro?

@Gediminas Completely talk about how good it is and then rate it a 7?

Got a Dragon Quest vibe, or I just don't know the source material. Feel free to educate and/or ridicule me.

Tell me I don't have to choose between performance and quality and it's a day one buy for me. Barring a drought of any compatible launch games for it.

Character renders look horrible.
