Had an absolute wonderful moment in RoboCop
Fun game.
There has to be a toxic wasteman and Boddicker dlc in the works.
An update on this issue. I did a few things like hold the power button longer and do the repair licences (?) option but the real issue seemingly was dust blocking the power supply vent inside the PS5. I periodically open the PS5 up and clean the fan and surrounding area a bit but the vent is further inside. It’s impossible to fully clean for a newbie like me) but I did manage to semi clean it using a bud and reaching in as much as I could. It hasn’t crashed since whereas earlier it was crashing every 20 mins on Ragnarok. Mind you, dust levels here are far higher.Mine turned itself off today randomly. Never had that before. Better not be packing in just as Rebirth is about to release.
I thought it was meant to leave its competitors in the dust

Extremely fun game, indeed. Hope these guys will get to make Judge Dredd or new Duke Nukem title, someday.
If only it had any
Been playing Inscryption. Really cool and unique game.
So hold up... RoboCop is good?
Been eyeing it on steam for a while..supposed to be quite cool.
Yeah it’s supposed to be good fun.
Didn't think I would like Ratchet but ended up doing plat.
PS Portal back in stock.
Anyone have it? How does it differ to using your phone/ iPad as remote play?

Picked up the burning shores DLC for Horizon: Forbidden West. This game is absolutely stunning played on 4k HDR QLED TV.
Its a weird move of them to go cartoony for this mmo thing they're making, absolutely ridiculous infact. The beauty of horizon is the graphics and worlds.

Erm ok I’m still playing it and this game is wild. If anyone plays it just go in blind.
After hearing great things about it, I started it a couple of months back. Act 1 was brilliant but I lost interest in Act 2 which was so dull in comparison. Will go back to it soon.
Yeah I think I was originally wow’d by how much depth it had but it definitely wasn’t as fun as the first part.
I've also just started playing Inscryption, after seeing everyone say how you should play it even if you don't like card games. Well, I don't like card games and so far, I'm not finding this enjoyable at all. Lies!
Put 43 hours into Infinite Wealth, although I spent the last 10-15 hours on the island building it up. Was hoping to finish it before Rebirth on Thursdsy but would need to put another 30 hours in by then at least, which is doable but not sure if I will.
Helldivers anyone?

Brutal. The gaming industry is in a terrible state at the moment. It's already an immense struggle to get AAA games developed, what's it going to look like in a couple of years when the effects of all these layoffs and closures are going to be felt?

Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerilla and Firesprite to all see layoffs. Playstation Studios London to close in it's entirety.
Shame.
The covid growth bubble continuing to burst (and some GAAS bubble bursting as well). I guess there was always going to be some correction over time but sucks for those affected.
Shareholder expectations need managing because there's still plenty of revenue and profit to be made sustainably even with hiring challenges and rising costs/development cycles. But there's so much focus on growth and operating profit it feels like studios will continue to be squeezed and with ai advancements there will be increased pressure and expectation on cutting cost.

Might be the end of Sony this
Quite a whirlwind week for the folks at the London studio. Hopefully those affected manage to land of their feet soon.
Oh @BristolRuss has awoke from his slumber.
So basically studios are just going back to pre pandemic employment levels?
Yup.
It's always terrible to see working people lose jobs, but the reality is that these companies hired way too many people with an unreasonable expectation that the public would game as much after the pandemic as they did during it. Couple that to the average person's disposable income shrinking drastically and higher interest rates making speculation less attractive, and you have a perfect recipe for layoffs and studio closures.
Pretty fecking stupid assumption to make in hindsight..... People couldn't wait to get back outside and do things after so long under lockdown.
I don't even think we need hindsight - imo it was stupid at the time.
I agree with the bolded personally, but I think it's easy to forget that at the time, plenty of people were talking about "the new normal" and how much they enjoyed the freedom from interaction with others, apparently never getting sick, not needing to go into work, school or college physically, etc. I think all of that was absurd, but I won't say more for fear of dragging this thread off topic. Overall I think there were significant voices at the time expressing that things were never going to go back to the "old ways" and perhaps some of these companies bought into that way of thinking (especially since "the new normal" was filling their coffers at rates beyond their wildest dreams).
It might have been mentioned already but there is an update out today for Power Wash simulator that patches the glitch with the Platinum Trophy.
Up to 30 platinums now. I’m about half way through The Last of Us and loving it all over again. The platinum will be a lovely little addition to the collection.
Didn’t really get Sea of Stars. Played about 6 hours but it’s the same surface level shit over and over. Battles are terribly dull. Deleted it.
It really becomes dull pretty quickly. I got to around 10 hours (on Switch) and deleted it at that point as I found myself forcing to play it. The graphics and world design are fantastic but battles are indeed tedious and writing is average at best.
Pretty close to the platinum for Helldivers 2. Great game. Started ff7 rebirth tonight as well, also excellent so far.
Yeah it felt very poorly written. No idea why the writers seemed to sim.p on Garl and tell us how amazing he is all the time. It’s weird. They all had zero personality.
I assumed further into the game you get new moves and stuff but I looked online and that’s it! The combat is just that shallow repetitive experience for the whole game. And the enemies level up with you so you never actually progress. Awful.
feck me Helldivers is insanely good, Sony absolutely smashed the feck out of it with this one
Yep.... Gameplay loop is addictive as feck
The fact I was going to buy F1 23 and Sifu in January and now they're on PS+ just adds to my buyers anxiety!
Now Im certain Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will eventually come plus.

Yeh man, the setting and atmosphere is super absorbing as well. Sort of wish the objectives were clearer mind. Played for 4 hours last night with a very sound American German stoner last night that said his cousin is Tessa Thompson ! It was lit.
I'm playing it for the first time at the moment. Just got to the bridge as it turns to autumn. I don't quite get the hype with this game. The story isn't really compelling? There's not much going on or explored and I've played for over 10 hours. The visuals are great and the combat is fun.
