I saw this a few weeks ago. A CMOS battery that will fail in about 20 years and something thats only an issue if the PSN servers get switched off seems like a bit of a non-story to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL OF YOUR GAMES WILL SOON BE UNPLAYABLE...unless you change the battery and set the timer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-TON Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Completed The Last of Us Part 2 last night. Played it on release but wasn't what I was needing at the time.Have to admit, despite the controversy and some false claims about trans characters, that game is pretty good. There's some issues regarding story telling but I enjoyed it in the structure they used. Gameplay wise, it is fantastic.I've seen a lot of arguments about "it's not fun". I think there is fun to be found in this game, each to their own. But I don't have an issue with games not being 'fun', I appreciated Naughty Dog being given the license to be gritty and explore unorthodox themes for a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I've not played it yet but I will get round to it. What was the issue everyone was distraught about when it was released? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-TON Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I've not played it yet but I will get round to it. What was the issue everyone was distraught about when it was released? Due to the fandom around the first game, it appears to be not to everyone's liking really. Got review bombed quite hard. It says a lot other games won't do, even has a character getting barebacked! (I couldn't think of another game I've seen that happen in as much detail) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 I've not played it yet but I will get round to it. What was the issue everyone was distraught about when it was released? Doing my best to avoid spoilers - the way one the character's story went early on pissed off a lot of people apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 My copy of Returnal turned up a day early. 4 hour Day 1 patch. Modern gaming is rubbish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to hear how it is. Seems the best fit for the new tech on the PS5, although hearing it described, it sounds like something I won't enjoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Aye I briefly considered it but listened to the Waypoint pod and I don't think I fancy it as roguelikes aren't my thing at all (I'm shit and have no patience). It sounds really good though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cba with multiplayer really anymore in anything but the campaign is superb. One of the best by a distance. Got to respect a game which does a time travel level as a flex and never brings it up again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that level was utterly immense, it felt so seemless how you jumped between timeframes, i also liked the level that you were out of your titan for most of it, again both in and out of the titan felt flawless, could have done the campaign either way it was that good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the entire time shooting bots and finished 2nd on my team as we won the match. Great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive day 1 patches are a pain in the arse and if modern gaming means online multiplayer then absolutely definitely not!

NotThePars Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Even Nier Replicant which reviewers were saying was finished a month before it was released still came with a 2-3gb update. Can't mind the last time I installed something that didn't require a day one patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, without the internet we wouldnt have user mods or future patches and upgradesThat's a fair enough point. But going back to the OP about Returnal. I just upgraded to a pretty good package on Thursday. It was a 15GB patch that took me about 6 mins. If 15GB is taking 4 hours I'd be getting a new package immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
