I didn't enjoy Ghost at the start, too many annoying fetch quests. I gave it another go at a later date, ignored all the foxes and birds and found it to be a much better game then. It's also a bit of a slow burner early on, the combat gets much better as you progress, and the mystic quests and duels were fantastic. Solid 8/10. There are much worse OWG culprits in Sony's catalog, like Days Gone (still not a bad game, though).
 
Never understood the appeal of open world games myself. I could just open my door and head outside...
bbbut PSVR2... I get the disdain as OW games can be samey if you get wrapped up in the checklists etc. If the gameplay is good, the sandbox is good, and the story is great however (things that Sony excel at)? That can be epic. Skyrim and NMS were amazing in VR. So keep them open worlds coming...

Of course like you say you could just go outside and throw fireballs down the street at the building sized dragon.... where do you live again?
 
Has the PS5 managed to add VRR yet? I mean it says on the box that it supports it so I would hope after 9 months it actually does.
 
If its like mine then Hades, 12 Minutes, Flight Sim, The Ascent, Psychonauts 2, Quake just from the past month, without spending an extra penny

Rest of the year he will add Back4Blood, Diablo 2 Remaster, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, CrossfireX at no extra cost

What about you?
feck knows I don't plan that far ahead... I like the look of B4B, prob try out Kena, and Deathloop. Probably revisit Death Stranding before getting into BF2042. Maybe dip into the backlog, early next year is stacked too.

Imagine Sony lying about something for marketing and hype. Nothing new here.



The overhyping of PS5 SSD was beyond ridiculous. Throw some marketing lies here and there and fanboys will eat it up, that is how console sale records happen, has nothing to do with actual hardware quality unfortunately.

Have you banged your head?
 
Usually I'm all for calling out Sony for their repository of fake information but SSD's are one of the best things about both of the new consoles.

Even if it is a lie I'm happy believing in the magic.

Party on dudes.

Sure, no one said otherwise, SSDs are amazing, and Sony SSD is brilliant, just talking about some marketing lies here, nothing else.

Can't blame Sony for the marketing here, but that some people actually believed it was idiotic in the first place. It's not on PS4 because Sony made a decision for it to be next-gen only, not because it couldn't be achieved. Yes, the experience is better on next gen and the level of graphical fidelity couldn't have been replicated - but so was true of Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, TLOU 2, Days Gone and any other game that got a next gen upgrade. The difference just depends on how much time and resources were put into maximizing the efforts on next gen hardware.

Largely the same experience (gameplay, story, combat, level design) would have been achievable on last gen. It wouldn't have been as crisp or as smooth, and wouldn't have loaded as quickly, and I agree that makes a difference. But the notion that it was a game changer because it wasn't being held back by releasing on last gen (technically held back, not because of resource allocation) was always silly.

Look at this from afro. Dear me..

Well you'd be stuck there in mid air for the greater part of a minute twiddling your fingers waiting for the next world to load in, repeatedly, for as long as this section lasts.... Sure I guess it's possible, sounds fun.

It's ok to admit it's good tech, for both consoles...
 
Alock has fallen for the propaganda. Sad to see.
But predictable...

I mean you'd think that given the choice between launching just for PS5 or for both PS5 and PS4, they'd opt for the latter if possible. Instead of making out that the SSD could do incredible things and skipping a 100m+ userbase just for.... Reasons.

They’re just upset it’s been nearly a year since their console released and they’ve still not had next gen game.

For wider marketing of the PS5? Because potentially the sales could be as good long term if positioned as a next gen showcase as releasing on last gen hardware too?

Because they made a big song and dance about 'generations'?

Maybe it still will release on PS4. Don't be surprised if that ends up happening later.

Have you played it yet? Or watched the video or any other content on the game that shows what you referred to as jumping between worlds momentarily is just an on rails segment of the game? Do you still believe it can't be achieved just because Sony tell you? Dear me.

By afrocentricity's definition the only real next game either console has had is Flight Sim.

People here say its niche but its no more niche than the likes of Returnal.

And if the 'niche' comments relate to the simulation element, people are completely missing the point of why people love that game. Just look at the fact we have a 25 page thread on geoguesser..
