For those that got their 5 from Best Buy drops online with store pickup, is the estimated pickup date usually right or are they sometimes prepped early?

Cause I have the next couple days off and it’s gonna be raining here so it’d be nice.

Mine was ready one day early. They didn’t update the estimate; I just got the “it’s ready!” a day early.

Of course, that was the day after a windstorm and we had no internet for 6 days :doh:

Fenyx Rising is a surprisingly passable Zelda clone. I did get mega bored with Zelda after maybe 20 hours, however, but after 5 with Rising it's the first large world game of the type I can play for a few hours and want to keep playing. My gaming sessions are usually pretty short as I get bored, but there is a clear path to progress the story and a bunch of odds and ends to do along the way.

I got to the main "upgrade your dude or dudette hub" and thought it felt kinda clumsy in terms of game design, but whatever. It accomplishes what it needs to. It was odd to upgrade like every aspect of your character at once after the introduction to the game mechanics, but i guess it just wants to give you access to all your main attacks and powers at once and you go from there. I felt like the intro few hours gives you enough currency types to power yourself up in a way that is satisfying without overdoing it.

Anyway. If you can find it used for like 30 to 40 bucks go for it, I think. Good time sink adventure game that my partner likes watching me play as well which is a good aspect.

this game is actually on sale on amazon right now for $30 and i just cant decide if i want to get it or not, seems like people are mostly enjoying it tho

Oh sure go for it. You can probably sell it locally for 30 if you don't like it, or when you're done.

Just wanna let people know, the downloaded version of Hitman 2 on a PSnow 7 day trial does indeed work for accessing the levels in Hitman 3. You can delete Hitman 2 after.


I except this bug feature to be removed post-haste


In the mean time I’m having fun with Hitman 3 but I’ve encountered 2 crashes so far with no discernible cause. The game completely freezes, but the PlayStation OS is working fine. You can just close the game down and weirdly it does it without issue. Odd

If I move Shadow of the Tomb Raider to the internal memory will that significantly improve the loads? They're just so slow from my HDD. I know putting it on the internal is not a magic trick though cause it might also be having to do with how the loading is programmed.

SSD is going to be noticeably faster than HDD in basically all cases, but it won't be the seemingly magical speeds that can be accomplished with streaming from storage like native PS5 games can do. It'll be more like having it on an SSD on your PC.

You're not making a mistake, the game is very much still active. Find some friends to play it with. You can wait on Iceborne for the moment, it's gated for the endgame, but it's also extremely good DLC.

As someone who both turns vibration off on every game yet also really enjoyed Astro's, I couldn't uninstall it fast enough after reaching the end. As simple as it is, some of the controller gimmicks are awful (the spaceship section was dire) and so I'm honestly shocked so many people have plat it. It's fun for one go but would be intolerable a second time.

The game leans hard on all the UI functions so getting a platinum is super easy. Load up the game control center, see what areas isn’t 100%, select it and it’ll show you what you have left AND also has a video hint of where the collectible is AND it’ll quick load that specific section.

I already started playing Hitman 3. If I do this and unlock the levels, do I lose all my progress in Hitman 3 or would that only apply if I actually made any progress in Hitman 2?

Not sure what you mean - this acts completely the same as just purchasing the hitman 2 access pass while in hitman 3. It’s just like getting DLC. No progress is lost or any stats change or anything like that.

You start hitman 2 on PSNow (make sure it’s downloaded rather than streamed), agree to the usual online policy, start any level. Then back out, open hitman 3 and the Hitman 2 access pass is all of a sudden free. You can delete the PSNow hitman 2 immediately from your hard drive.

:edit: I don’t think any progress from Hitman 1 or Hitman 2 if you have them is carried over to 3

Yeah progress is only carried over if you choose to do it, just unlocking the levels won't have any effect on your Hitman 3 progress.

Yeah, this is one of the dev strategies that dates the game as a supremely 2010's project. I still loved every second, but a PS5 version would need all that animation stuff sped up quite a bit or removed entirely in order to justify its existence. imo it's just a humble part of its design, just as fitting for how weird Remake is in the contemporary dev environment compared with some of the workarounds used in '97 to get the original game working.

so, given that the MGS voice cast is currently 'doing something', and that Bluepoint has been rumored to be working on something like MGS for a bit, the question remains: original Mei Ling or revised Mei Ling? :haw:

Detective No. 27

I really do hope Bluepoint is doing a re-remake. They've proven themselves by doing full blown remakes with SoTC and now Demon's Souls. I wonder if they can remake a game while also adding new, expanded content to it, or tweaking it so that first person shooting view doesn't break the game like it did with Twin Snakes. Adding a more modern over the shoulder shooting style would be pretty cool. It worked really well when they added it to Snake Eater 3DS.

Yeah I think the main thing would be to double down on the gamefeel and snappy arcade elements of mgs1 rather than adding more simulation elements from later in the series that would increase dissonance with the original sort of larger than life comic-book feel.

We already had one MGS remake and it wasn't very good. After Demon's Souls kicked so much rear end I want to see Bluepoint doing an original game, feel like their talent is being kinda wasted doing cover versions of other people's games.

Just break the gently caress out of the game, I already played MGS1 a billion times.

how about a game box that has a port of mgs1 with better controls & camera, maybe better graphics, and also includes a total remake in the fox engine, basically the best idea anyones ever had.
