Man the gameplay and the way the guns felt in the order was incredible. I would kill for a 10-15 hour game that sticks with Victorian London. Dream game
I don’t know what the people in comments expect? They are clearly pivoting after the live service gamble did not pay off. Lots of new IP and partner content on show - kudos for not more sequels.
Days gone getting a deserved second shot with a remaster
Some of the amazing creative efforts on show and people are here saying “‘mid” “boring” you guys need to play better games and mix it up.
I really would encourage either fans of mass effect or action RPG’s to pick up Dragon Age. It starts of slow and as my entry to the series its lore heavy picking up from the previous game.
But it’s just fantastic and so so polished. It’s criminal how more are not picking the game up.
Between this and Prince of Persia I despair a little at sales, especially when I see the top 10 games on PlayStation be f2p rubbish live service
It’s a fantastic game, and it arrived day 1 polished and bug free - that’s worth praise alone.
There is a hate campaign against the game online which quite frankly tiresome because of its strong push towards inclusivity.
20 years ago if you didn’t like a game you would go play something else but people now make it an obsession to start campaigns against it, which involve targeting developers. It’s incredibly sad and I actually feel a little sorry for the people who sit online and type this type of bile.
Just far too difficult for the game to be mainstream and that’s the truth. If it was more accessible I think it would have got more people in. I love the game btw.
Helldivers 2, Astro, Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade. Rise of the Ronin. FF7 Rebirth. How anyone can think PlayStations output has been lacklustre based off that.
@GuttyYZ Its the power of the switch in the charts, like 120+ million of them out there so these games will sell for years and years. im just happy dead space, GOW are representing excellent single player games.
I finished this game last night, and its weird because I get the critique from a lot of the fury but also the game is so fun, and the story gets really bloody good - with great performances at the end.
it just starts off so rough, and because of how the game basically unlocks and becomes more fun as you earn magic it then sadly just ends - they could have used a few more chapters to let it all breath a bit, with a general polish up on a lot of the cut scenes - some of them were ps2/ps3 era in terms of animation.
it was defiently kicked out the door as to not get in the way of FF16 later in year but my god has it hurt what should have been a big new IP.
Spiderman 2, Final Fantasy 16 and the Horizon DLC (which I think will give that game a well deserved second wind) are going to push the sales of this thing through roof.
thats interesting, I got dead space remake as well but I have barely touched it 2bh.
Forspoken is like an itch! just hope they give it a performance patch on PS5, it really needs to be smoother!!! HDR and lightening also could use some tlc.
Im being deadly serious when im saying I am LOVING forspoken. took a gamble on it, first 4 hours are a bit of a mess (still entertaining) but after you start taking down the bosses it just sings. the magic parkour stuff is genius. The demo didn't explain any of it how it worked but the game slowly teaches you everything. what I will say though is the performance needs patched and the side content stuff in the "open world" is rubbish.
im liking this months lineup, but agree with premium being mismanaged. they need to get ridge racer and dino crisis on it, people want emulated ps1 classes, not ps3 streaming stuff, which doesn't play well!
who ever at Sony thought it was a good idea to release these games so close to each other... if horizon was dropping this week it would be better for the conversation.
I think everyone needs to remember that gaming twitter is a small contingent of people, who are passionate and actually a little hardcore - getting through huge open world games in a week and moving on. A normal player like myself is like 10 hours into Horizon and loving it.
as an AC fan this is not what I wanted, was hoping for something set in Scotland with our wonderful landscapes and tie it into the mythology world. so annoying how they keep pushing this Ragnarock stuff leave it to God of War.
@FX102A dont be put off with the short run time, if anything it makes it better - its no killer no filler. I took my time with as im working on plat and my play time is at 20 hours.

The only people I have seen complain about the quality is man babies on twitter. Was the same with the game.
Re: Ex-GTA Boss' PS5 Shooter MindsEye Gets a Tiny Gameplay Trailer, with Launch Just Weeks Away

Re: Sony's Pricey PS5 Pro Is Now Being Outpaced by PS4 Pro Launch Aligned in the US
Hardly feels like a pro console when it comes without a disc drive or a stand. Immediate blocker to someone on the base console.
Then you really need a £1500 television to even notice a difference.
Just not attractive at all and lets be honest we’re 3 years away from the next console which will have all the pro technology and more.

Re: Game of the Year: Liam's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024
Said this time and time again.
Helldivers 2, Astro, Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade. Rise of the Ronin. FF7 Rebirth. How anyone can think PlayStations output has been lacklustre based off that.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin?
Found the review totally not in alignment with how I found this game, it’s fantastic and the combat is so satisfying. Just not a “6”
Hope it sells, seems to be doing well in Japan
Re: Dead Space (PS5) - Faithful Remake Brings Back a Classic
visual being a letdown is astounding, it looks incredible. No way in hell this would run on PS4 either.

Re: Sony Is So Confident in PS5, It's Bumping Its Shipment Estimate
@NEStalgia final fantasy is going to shift this machine in Japan big time, its basically that country's Madden/FIFA/COD
personally I hope people pass on Hogwarts, considering whom profits from it. (I know this wont happen!)

Re: Forspoken (PS5) - Messy Action RPG Is Massively Hit and Miss
im loving it, agree with most of the criticism here though. the cons are right! but its a 7 for me as it gets the core gameplay so bloody right.
