Cyberpunk patch delayed by another month. Looking forward to playing the version native to the system I paid for, 12 years after release.

Square doesn't have a history of giving away their own in- house games for Xbox Gold, or PS+, so I would be really surprised by such a major AAA title of theirs being free next month. FF7R is still $60 on PSN.

Is Tomb Raider not one of theirs, it was available in January

Yeah I mean they will gladly give away their published games, but they don't tend to do their own in-house titles. But maybe that is changing for them cause like someone else pointed out, Final Fantasy XV is actually free on PS+. I bet anything though its rumor that has been misunderstood, and is really just the release of the PS5 upgrade.

They tend to play a little more fast and loose with games developed by their subsidiaries, I think Deus Ex Mankind Divided was on PS+ too

I loved Odyssey, but Valhalla I felt was a huge step backwards and massively disappointing game. I also ran into a game breaking bug where it tried to play two cutscenes at once and no matter what I did I couldn't continue, even when going back to an earlier save. It was a far more broken game than Cyberpunk 2077 even but somehow got a free pass.

Odyssey was too loving long and big and a mess of three(?) separate stories you could do any which way which hosed the ends of all three. I was hoping for a smaller more narrow in scope game with Valhalla but no it’s apparently even bigger.

The river raids DLC its getting looks real loving fun, though.

I've said it before, a tighter knit Odyssey would probably one of my all time favorite games. Instead I resented it as I was finishing it (but the ending was good).

In the almighty court of goon opinion, AC Odyssey made Top 10 GOTY for 2018 and Valhalla didn't even rank. Well, it was rank in other ways!

Anywho, for those that haven't got to play FF7 Remake yet, and if it is free next week; ooooh boy are you all in for a treat. FF7 Remake is one of the best games of 2020, and really of the PS4 generation period. Like top 5 favorite games of that gen.

I finished Odyssey and it was one of my favorite games of that year and didn’t even make it halfway through Valhalla. So I’m in the same boat as this opinion.

All right, so in theory I have successfully managed to nab one of these dumb things. Anything that I should know? Do I need to transfer anything over from the ps4 or can I just plug my external in and get right back to most things?

Just skip to Lightning Returns. You'll understand nothing that's going on but you won't need to.

FF7R was a bit weird as I thought the combat/leveling/questing got consistently less fun as the game went on to the point where I was really feeling over it by the end. It is a good game though, and they did a really great job with the combat system for the most part.

The soundtrack is dope as well.

Dear gamers,

We're sorry to announce the delay of our upcoming patch. Our team has identified the species of animal that is eating our homework, but locating and capturing it will take additional time. This has forced us to reevaluate our delivery timeline.

I enjoyed both of them, but definitely Origins more. Exploring classical Egypt was so fun, hallucinations in the desert, "I thought it'd be bigger" re: the Sphinx. The mission where you are showing off for kids.

I have Valhalla, but still in the tutorial. Need to give it some time.

Thinking back on it I think a big problem with Odyssey for me was performance on base PS4. I can't believe I never heard much outcry about how lovely it was, load times on death were often measured in minutes. Maybe it was something wrong with my old PS4 but I didn't have problems on any other game.

I whined about that a lot. The menu taking over a second to load in was the cherry on top.

I just got a cat for my longship so that’s given me goodwill for a little while longer

Also the big bug I had with Odyssey on PS4 Pro was freezing during battles, like one frame every 10-15 seconds, until you went in and out of the menu.

The story is insane but not in a fun Nomura way, to me. Also residual rage from FF13.

Honestly willing to give 13-2 and Lightning Returns another look. I've been seeing 13 get so new love since its been over 10 years since that game came out and I just can't.

Heads up that the hitman2 expansion set is $10 again, if you buy the ps4 expansion it makes the ps5 access pass free (normally $40). I have a ps4 disc of hitman 2 that I can start a mail chain of is anyone wants to pass the game around to unlock the levels in hitman3

So if I have a Hitman 1 on digital and Hitman 2 on a PS4 disc is this what I want to get so I can play the old levels in Hitman 3 PS5 when I eventually pick it up?

I just beat Odyssey on base PS4 a few weeks ago and the load times are pretty bad yeah.
