@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy i couldn't agree more with you

I bought Ghost of Yotei (physical) and just started playing today. Game looks damn fine, especially the vegetation and textures

I really want South of Midnight to come to PS5. Avowed...meh, don't care about it too much

@SeanOhOgain the answer for your question is written in the article

Yep, the paranoia, i said earlier today about this lol

Might as well try getting some Demon's Souls Remake trophies

Nixxes should try do the same in a bunch of PS5 1st party games. I don't care about PC, but i want smaller games installed on my SSD

Game seems nice, but 85 reais in Brazil on PS Store is a lot, taking into account that the same game is costing only 54,90 on Xbox but since I'm stuck on PS5 and don't own a Series X or S, I'll have to pick this up eventually...

And yes, the game is cheap on Steam too, but i just don't like playing on PC.

They should have implemented at least haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. I'll get this game eventually just because i already own RDR2 on my PS5. RDR2 with 60fps performance and better graphics for PS5 is the only thing i want.

LOL i said yesterday and here we are again, another chapter of "IS IT AI? OH GOD, IS IT, ISN'T IT? OR MAYBE IT ISN'T..." drama

Does it have haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support?

@rusty82 hmm interesting. Thank you for the heads up. Maybe I'll give this game a try, then, because it does look fun and i already own the other two games.

I was almost getting Doom The Dark Ages but then i saw the performance and i instantly gave up. The game has some really annoying framerate drops (lower 50s and sometimes high 40s) in very open areas on base PS5 and i can't believe that even Pro can't beat Xbox Series X in performance. I can stomach horrendous performance in games like Space Marine 2 because that game doesn't really demand quick reflexes, but Doom does and id software dropped the ball here

Might as well wait for a PS6 to get this game

It's kinda funny how desperate and angry people get about anything related to AI nowadays, like there's this paranoia that never ends. It never ceases to amuse me.

No thanks, I'm totally fine without this game anywhere near my home or PS5. I just bought Ghost of Yotei and I'm about to buy something else. CoD died to me after 2009

Hmm that actually reminds me that I'll be better off waiting for a possible new re-release of this game instead of buying it eventually. Thank you lol

Awesome, now we only need Yakuza 6 running at 60fps and we're good, Xbox already has Yakuza 6 at 60fps, so we need Sega to put out a patch for this one too on PS5

Weird upgrade path. I think i own all 3 of them digitally, so i might as well upgrade them all, but why each one of them has a different price? So bizarre. They should all be free, maybe with exception of Yakuza 0, but Sega is still being greedy, huh...well better than nothing, but 60fps it's a must in Kiwami 2, otherwise i won't even care about the free upgrade

My favorite Playstation console of all Playstation i owned and the reason is that the hardware is really good. Most games still run very well on my base PS5 and the backward compatibility is amazing. The Dualsense controller is realy good. I'm not lying when i say that i buy games nowadays if they support both haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 with 3D audio + adaptive trigger + haptic feedback is one of the most fun and immersive experience i ever had in my entire gaming experience. Hearing the rain falling while running around with my horse in Ghost of Tsushima, jumping from my chair when Aloy screamed when i was fighting in Horizon Zero Dawn or feel tense as ***** while playing Silent Hill 2 Remake while listening to all the disturbing things the game has...PS5 definitely elevated my experience as a gamer and i love every minute of it

Having said all that, there are issues with the platform or system of PS5. Not a lot of 1st party games that made me think "yeah, this is a must have game" aside from Returnal, Demon's Souls Remake and Astro Bot (haven't played Yotei yet); really expensive games in Brazil (that's something I'll never shut up about); PS Store is a deposit of asset flip garbage "games" which makes find actual decent games a chore...
I love the Dualsense but the drift issue is something that still haunts players to this day (me included) and this is the most annoying console in terms of cleaning. I never even cleaned my PS4 internally, now i need to open my PS5 every month to clean the dust and this is annoying as all hell

Overall, technically I'd say PS5 is the best Playstation console i ever owned, but PS4 and PS3 are still kings when it comes to 1st party games and even backward compatibility support (where's Digital Devil Saga and God Hand, Sony? They'll get stuck on PS3 forever?)

@Pequod gaming is becoming such an expensive hobby for me. I love gaming, I've been playing games since i was 4, dare i say gaming is my hyperfocus, always has been. I hate to be in this situation where i gotta look at my financial situation very carefully before deciding where will i play videogames because i really like consoles, but think you're right, i might go PC next gen if the situation doesn't change that much. I'll wait and see. If Playstation Brazil change their stance and actually use regional pricing like Xbox, Steam, Epic Store and Nintendo do, then I'll gladly reconsider my choice (doubt they will do that, though)

@Pequod something that i still don't understand is Sony saying that losing some console users is ok because the extra revenue from porting makes up for this loss. If someone leaves the PS ecosystem and moves towards PC, every single 3rd party game they buy there will not generate any profit to Sony, any cosmetics from Fortnite, Warzone or Apex bought by this person on PC will not generate any profit to Sony, they'll lose PS Plus subscriptions and even their 1st party games won't be as profitable as they could be if the person was buying the game on a PlayStation (and that if they don't pirate the game)

I'm not an expert in financials nor I'm well informed about Sony's profits, revenue and etc but to me that doesn't sound a really positive scenario in the long run

I'm from Brazil and here almost every digital game from PS Store had a recent price raise, but even before that, almost every game on PS5 and PS4 were more expensive than their Xbox or Switch version, now they're more expensive than before especially because games on Xbox and Switch didn't suffer any price raise recently. Games like Ghost of Yotei, Rise of the Ronin, Death Stranding 2, and Silent Hill F are costing 400 reais (our currency in Brazil) here, which is 75 US dollars today. This price is almost a third of a minimum wage here in Brazil, which is insane

On PC these games are way more affordable, so i can't see why most people in Brazil wouldn't move towards PC: It's free to play online, most PS5 games are being ported to PC and you can also play every Xbox game available. Microsoft now is getting ready to release a machine that will play Playstation 1st party games in it (at least the ones who were ported to Steam and Epic Store) + Xbox games + PC games with a hardware that is expensive but that will probably be more powerful than the next PS6. Switch 2 is selling like water and Microsoft now owns so many studios that they're pretty much a big publisher with a lot of highly successful IPs under their wings.

Sony is doing fine for now, but I'm not sure how things will pan out for them in the long run (aka the next gen). Now that everyone is aware that most Playstation games are coming to PC, and if people don't care about spending more upfront to get a PC, they'll leave Playstation and probably never come back. I owned every Playstation console until now and I'm constantly going back and forth about going full PC, i almost did in this gen. The prices of these games on Playstation are killing my wallet and physical media here in Brazil a lot of times are as expensive (if not more so) than digital

@MasterChiefWiggum no, this game is not Soulslike at all, not even close. Also, parries are easy to pull because the timing window to react is quite generous, way more than any other game that exists and I'm glad this game isn't anything like Gears. Even though i love Gears, that game's formula got stale really fast. I really enjoyed this game, way more than i thought i would

@Neonix why exactly do you want to see this game flop?

I'm so glad that i waited until the honeymoon phase was over and people started criticizing and reporting the flaws Oblivion Remastered has. This game is a mess and Virtuos (can't remember how to write their name) did nothing to fix it. If i had bought the game i would be pissed

Bethesda can shadow drop anything they want, i won't be buying until I'm 100% sure the game is playable with no framerate drops, stutters or crashes

@Boxmonkey Steam Machine has a better CPU than the base PS5. Base PS5 has a better GPU and more memory, so i wouldn't say that "weaker than PS5" statement is completely true, because it isn't, but i wouldn't call it a complete fake news either, because it's at least partially correct

I'd say let them cook. With Saros, Marvel Tokon and Wolverine coming next year, I'll have enough Playstation games to savor

Huh, i see both Supermarket Simulator and Cloverpit actually skipped PS5, at least for now, but they are on Xbox consoles. Looks like the devs for both games were pissed that someone cloned their games, put them on PS Store and Sony didn't do anything. I don't blame them.

There are so many copies of this game on PS Store already...Sony just doesn't care about improving their systems to restrict asset flip garbage scams to be sold in their story, to the point that even people here commenting already got scammed and bought such clones

Not live here in Brazil until 4 am (it's 10:27 pm here now). I don't have enough money to buy almost anything until December 5th lol oh well, at least i bought a bunch of games in past sales

Thanks for the info Steam, the platform i barely use nowadays

Already played the first beta and I'll definitely play it again

I'm not interested in acquiring this thing at all but i do want to see how expensive will it be and how many units it'll sell

@Flaming_Kaiser yes, pretty much. I like how combative she is towards everyone and doesn't take anything for granted. I do this all the time lol

@Dalamar i couldn't disagree more with you. I'm actually enjoying the game (started yesterday again after losing my attention with other games in the past, something that i do often with all games i start playing) and Aloy questioning everyone and everything is what i do in the real world. I'm inquisitive, I'm not that approachable, I'm stubborn as ***** and i think she's not that different from me (though i doubt she's autistic like i am). I'm also enjoying exploring the world and hunting machines. The combat is really good (melee is obviously not the first option here) and the story got me intrigued.

I'm glad most people in the comments are not letting this review persuade them into no getting the game. We need more people like this, that instead of believing everything the reviewer says, question their metrics and thought process that they used for analyzing the game. Gotta love independent thinking lol

Good. Time to focus on PS5 and let the PS4 rest in peace.

@Moj500 lol do you think North America or Europe is the whole world or something? Do you think the whole world operates with just one currency? Ever heard of Brazil? Yeah, i live there and there this game is costing 340 reais, our currency. It's 10 bucks cheaper than i thought, which doesn't change anything, it's still expensive for most brazilians

I didn't lose anything. All you had to do was to take look at my profile to see where i live. Next time do some research about pricing in other countries and stop thinking that everyone who comes here to post are from 1st world countries

You'll go to my ignore list for your rude and shallow response, btw. You earned this one

Yeah, I'll "press X to doubt" on this review here. At least for now this is the lowest score this game has in Opencritic and reviews in Metacritic are good (though there are only 2 for now, but none of them are below 8). Seems to me the game it's still worth a try and the reviewer just didn't like it

@Moj500 I'm not gonna spend 340 bucks in a game in any situation, Resident Evil is no exception, unless i could play a demo to see if the game would click with me. And no, every new RE game is quite different than the last one. RE 6 isn't the same as RE7 which isn't the same as RE2/3 Remake which isn't the same as RE Village. No matter what game is, i won't give my money to any company that easily

Not interested. I'm not a PS Plus member since last year and that lasted 30 days only because i wanted to get a discount for a bundle of Risk of Rain 2

Seems like every studio that Microsoft buys eventually starts to go down the s****er and Activision isn't an exception. CoD is dead for me since 2011 and their last decent game was MW2 (2009). I just hope BF6 gets the recognition it deserves

Hmm, what a shame. I'll have to skip this one and wait for a big sale, them. Asking 340 bucks with no demo is too much for me

@Reyzore i totally agree with you. Ball X Pit could easily take E33 spot, for example, and there are a lot of other indie games that could get this slot. I feel bad for the indie devs...

I'm the minority here because i didn't like E33. I've played and finished the game and yet i thought the game wasn't that good. Presentation, voice acting, music are pretty good, but gameplay wasn't that good imo

I thought that the level design was confusing, and without a map i was wondering left and right to figure out where to go. The devs should've used the golden path philosophy here, imo. Not having a journal to track sidequests and additional information about the story was also a negative aspect for me, but by far my biggest complaint about this game is the combat. Camera positioning is awful sometimes. How the hell am i supposed to see when an enemy is about to attack me when the camera's behind Monoco's ass? And i just hated how sometimes the camera kept moving around when i was about to be attacked. I need to keep my focus on what's going on and the drunken effect from the camera isn't helping me

Another big complaint i have, which is very specific: the endgame. The endgame bosses are just a parry fest. You get bombarded by their attacks for almost a minute and then you attack and rinse and repeat. It gets boring and annoying really fast. Make a mistake in your timing and your whole team is wiped out. I dropped the game after doing almost all boss fights, with only 3 or 4 remaining. I was enjoying the game even with its flaws, but the whole parry bombardment pissed me off too much

All these issues turned this game from a solid 9 to a weak 6 for me. Definitely not my personal GOTY but i do understand why a lot of people enjoyed this game. And let me make this very clear, people: this is my opinion. I bought the game, i played it for more than 80h. I persevered. I can have a negative opinion without being treated like a troll, right? Right

@PuppetMaster E33 is definitely not an indie game by any means. It's the whole Dave The Diver situation again

A South of Midnight PS5 port would be very cool

@PuppetMaster this. I think with mobile they can do whatever they want and push for microtransactions or just put the game full price there and people will buy them. Hell, they can even revive old IPs there, like Killzone and see how well it goes so they can then bring these games over to Playstation eventually. I don't think development costs will be that high and they can profit from that. They can definitely profit more on mobile than on PC and not having the risk of their games being played on a future Xbox machine or be cracked in less than 12h and be free for everyone to play on the internet

@GamingGod yeah, that's definitely true. I think Sony is shooting themselves on their foot by this point. The more ports they put on PC, the more people will switch over to PC and less profit they'll have on their own platform. If more people are going to PC, then they'll buy every game there, including 3rd party games instead of buying them on Sony's consoles, so Sony will lose part of their 1st party profit AND completely lose their 3rd party profit because Valve and Epic will get this money (or none of them will if the person pirates the game, since they can't even put a decent DRM in their own games)

@UltimateOtaku91 valid points. Releasing live service games on PC it's a good idea. They should keep the single player games exclusives to Playstation consoles while investing in mobile, which can be quite profitable for them and i bet microtransactions there are very welcome and there's less piracy as well

@Porco preach, my friend!! You are 100% correct

The more Sony focus on consoles, the better. I couldn't care less about PC
