I can never get excited about any of these games, honestly! If I ever did, I would have played it.
Its not just you. Of the ~85mil Switch userbase, Nintendo Online has 26mil subscribers. 70% of the Switch users Nintendon't care about online play.

Also,
Only keeping the PS5 for day 1 access to [...] Insomniac's games

The 26 mil subscriber figure is from September 2020. Back then, 61 mil Switch units had sold through. Thus, based on corresponding figures, 42% of Switch users cared about online play 🤷‍♂️

If we look at it that way, Naughty Dog's prime was in the PS3 era, yet not even the indie darling Hades could stop TLOU part II from topping the Necrokiller approved GOTY 2020 list 🤣

I also look forward to what Sucker Punch does next. Imho, they make better open world games than Guerrilla Games and Bend Studios put together 🤷‍♂️

It topped your own approved "Oscar" worthy standards. Says it all really :ROFLMAO:

So apparently the PS5 upgrade costs $10 more than PS4 which is absolute bonkers. The upgrades dont seem to justify the difference at all and how the fuck is JAP LIP SYNC a feature ? Sony already has a major PR problem and its decisions like this that aggravate it even more. The free legends update was surprisingly fantastic but I feel sony has botched all that good will by this. Not only are people buying the console itself at almost double the price but the added markup on the games makes Sony seems to be completely tone deaf and arrogant.

Ultimately, what we have here is a reasonable array of revisions, but it does feel that Sony is charging for the kind of upgrades that other developers and publishers are giving away for free

there isn't the kind of vast improvement we saw in the likes of Marvel's Spider-Man (which was a paid upgrade) or Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (which wasn't)
No game changers here.
Still using reconstruction for faux-4K, settings are the same as last-gen and cut-scenes are all 30fps now, lmao

Since when were 39 critics opinions preferred over 122 critics? :ROFLMAO:
~40 reviews is no small tally lol...

The new expansion tho. Yikes!! :ROFLMAO:
...but 4 reviews certainly is 🤣

Even then, a score of 83 means the "honeymoon period" ain't over, unlike with a certain medicore game from a mediocre studio. GoT's honeymoon period is eternal, and it comes and goes like a blizzard 🤣

Anyway, reviews will continue to be added to the tally. Keep an eye out and maybe you can offer updates on the score 🤣

The game is still using the same reconstruction method as on last gen hardware.
I mean, the PS5 is based on lousy AMD hardware, so DLSS isn't an option. Not Sucker Punch's fault they're owned by a lousy company that makes lousy decisions 🤷‍♂️. They did the best they could within the time and budget allocated to this port. It's running at a higher internal resolution than the PS4 version does on PS5 in back compatibility mode. It's also a locked 60fps in photo mode, which the PS4 version running on PS5 wasn't.

An improved draw distance certainly would've been nice, but the studio was internally handling this port while also working on the Iki island expansion. It understandable that they weren't able to put a lot of effort into the PS5 version. Maybe
when Nixxes ports it to PC, they'll have all the time to implement such improvements 🤷‍♂️

The DualSense features are great, and worth the extra $10 for me 🤷‍♂️

The Iki island expansion is set after the main story. Based Sucker Punch :love:

Absolutely hate it when DLC stories try to unnecessarily fill in gaps between the main story.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
