    To a point, but I would say I like strong story-driven games with interesting worlds and characters first and foremost. I think it's why I can't get into Fallout/Skyrim, because I'm sure those games have some of the best open worlds and side quests etc going, but because those stories are so open, your character doesn't talk etc, the story is more about what you find rather than properly plotted out to be experienced, I find myself being less engrossed in them. Plus I find when it comes to the bits of Fallout/Skyrim I've played that I generally despise the mechanic of choosing your character's attributes at the start of the game when you don't know what kind of playstyle you want to go with or what content it might lock out, as well as talking to a random person where they then give you an item to bring to someone you don't know in a location you don't know, and 20 hours of gameplay later when you talk to another random guy and he says thanks for the item you've completely forgotten who he was or why.

    Gameplay ultimately trumps all of course. RDR2 has a great story and characters but the gameplay and most of the mechanics bored me to tears. Likewise I've dropped Days Gone (another PS exclusive) even though I was enjoying the story and characters because there was too much about the gameplay mechanics and pacing of the game that annoyed me. But the gameplay in most, if not all, the PS exclusives I mentioned previously is always just so damn good. The Last of Us and Uncharted are also linear games rather than open world. We don't know much about Wolverine yet but I also imagine it's likely to be more linear than open world.

    So it's why I love those big PS exclusives. The gameplay is almost always top-notch (might not always do anything spectacularly amazing, but it's nearly always solid as a rock), the presentation of the games are fantastic, they have some of the best stories and performances in games, and the open worlds are usually pretty fun.

    Dysmantle was added to the PS Store this morning, 20 quid, looks like a lot of fun. Anyone play in on early access pc and recommend it?

    just thinking there microsoft buying activision might frighten sony into thinking they will lose cod and actually invest in their own fps ips and bring back socom , resistance and killzone and make sure they don't mess it up

    I have tried to stop it but anytime I open my ps5 it keeps downloading a copy of ps4 version of final fantasy from the disc and I have to keep deleting it. Can this be stopped as I only wanna play the ps5 version



  • Registered Users Posts: 28,096 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    I was posting about this yesterday, it's a fecking pain in the arse. The way Microsoft have implemented it is way better, they just give you the best version of the game available to you and that's it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,033 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Haven't heard of that happening since the launch months, thought it was patched out.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭recyclops


    Nope its my daily routine now go to play FF for chapter, check which version I am turning on, delete PS4 version stick it on.

    Now in the grand scheme of things its fine and I dont have to do it but just checking if anyone had a solution. My ps5 was used so little in the past year maybe it hasnt caught up with the patches 🤣

    Looking at that, they are all games I have played before (technically one is three games I've completed before). (Add to that, first game I played on gamepass this year was Skyrim, which i had completed three times on PC and twice o PlayStation (incl a platinum)) I should play more new games...

    One I'm still playing in 2022 (kingdoms of Amalur) and one I was playing in 2020 (Demos Souls')

    I see people posting in here saying I'm going to buy this game game or that game and give it a go.

    I load up the Game Pass app and I'd say a good chunk of the time the game is available there.

    I don't even have an Xbox anymore but Game Pass has the potential to save the customer a fortune on games.

    873 hours over 64 games.

    Fucking gta online, didn't realise i had that much clocked up this year. Same with Nba 2K, they really designed it so you spend more time in game by making it needlessly big and therefore able to up the ad price when they show them user playtime. Quite proud of my 3, 4 & 5 though.




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭recyclops


    7 games for 102 hours. Half that was bloodborne and Demon's souls.
