It's cool that some people like these games so much and put in this many hours into these AC games, but I found Origins and Odyssey to be filled with so much bloat and filler that I have pretty much no motivation to try Valhalla.

Weren’t the cops super intense in LA Noire trying to prevent people from going all Grand Theft Auto on their beautifully crafted world?

Nah, but you get a lower ranking if you hit anyone or anything. So you just make your partner drive instead and the game becomes much better.

Mafia 3, though, you play a black guy in the sixties so you get murdered by the police for speeding or defending yourself when white people assault you or even thinking about walking into a police station.

There's a very good reason that the "look up this character's skirt" trophy would be worse in Nier than in Automata, to the point that it legitimately really sucks.

Here's a crazy one, that is not PS5 specific, since it happens on PS4 (and my PS3 as well...). Every 2 hours, almost to the minute, I get dropped from PSN / booted from chats. Depending on how the game is coded I can either have a moment of lag (Rocket League) or get booted completely (Outriders.) I can instantly reconnect, so the "outage" is momentary. It's not 2 hours clock time (like 8pm, 10pm, 12am...) but 2 hours from when I turn on my PS5. So if I fire it up at 5:23, I will drop at 7:23, 9:23, etc. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

I’d suspect your router’s doing something screwy with IP assignment. Maybe reboot all your network crap (router/modem/etc) and see if that helps.

Yeah it's gotta be an issue with your home network. Troubleshooting that stuff can be a lot of work so I'd try upgrading your router if it's more than a few years old, especially if you're on wifi.

Hmm. My Router is ~1.5 years old, my PS5 is wired and has a static IP (and is in the router's DMZ) but I will reboot things, and if that helps, I'll just turn it on and off again a lot!!

Check what your DHCP lease time is on your router. If it's two hours, bump it to 24 or 90d or something and see what happens. I understand that you say you have a static IP assigned, but:

1. Sometimes people think "fixed DHCP address reservation" is the same thing as "static IP" (probably not the problem)
2. Sometimes the people who write the code that runs on routers do terrible, terrible, things (maybe the problem)

Also consider not using the DMZ setting, it's rarely a good idea or necessary.

:ghost:

Honestly the thing to understand with routers and network equipment is it’s incredible that they work at all, regardless of age.

Even though you’ll more or less never use it to the full extent of its capabilities, IPv4 has 256^4 potential address assignments and 65536 potential port assignments for each packet going to one of those addresses, and that means there’s a ton of room for errors to happen.

Rebooting it runs a bunch of processes to help declutter the whole lot, so even if it’s new (or new-ish) hardware it’s worth a shot.

Yeah. Just set the USB power setting to always on. That seems to cause some issues anecdotally.

I had some hard drive troubles when I first got my PS5 that I assume came mostly from the system transfer, besides that no issues running all my PS4 games off the external. I only tell the system to power USB for three hours in sleep mode, and it just seems to work. Guess I’m lucky

Given ND's history I'd say the chances are 90%+ that we get a native PS5 port of the game with some type of raytracing. I'd also be willing to bet Factions 2 will be in the package but they've been so cagey these past couple of years that it's hard to know how connected the projects are.

Dad Nier (Gestalt) and Bro Nier (Replicant) are essentially identical apart from the main character’s biological relationship to the little girl character (Yonah).

The plot takes on a different tone in a few ways from the difference (mostly in how the MC and Kaine’s relationship works out), but the events and dialogue are pretty much the same in both.

Combat looks pretty sweet, a bit like Control with a bit more variety in enemies and what they throw at you.

I'm curious about its length and replayability if i'm shelling out the 70$ for it (yikes 76$ after tax if going physical)
