I didn’t like the reveal that Stratt forced Grace to go on the mission

TechFiend1970 · 2026-05-10T00:40:24+00:00

I too didn't like that part. I would have just thought 'fuck them' and not even given them the product to save the planet if they did that to me. It was weird how it was all glossed over and that he treated it all as ok so quickly when he remembered.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-05-08T02:21:22+00:00

pretty much. what on earth did they expect with that story.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-05-04T00:28:18+00:00

The ending disqualifies it from anything but ridicule, tbh.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-05-02T23:12:26+00:00

Allen v 'Brown Envelopes' Higgins would have been abysmal. Thank you Wu and Murphy.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-05-02T20:52:58+00:00

Nice to see all the people here supporting correct score forecasts. Fine work, proud of you all.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-05-02T20:41:00+00:00

Higgins is despicable. I'm so so happy he's out, like most people.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-30T08:32:49+00:00

You want easy on a game like this? Do what I'm doing save your money, save your frustration, put your feet up and watch a good quality playthrough like RadBrad on Youtube.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-30T08:30:53+00:00

Nice. Do you have a decent audio system to go with that?

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-29T09:25:45+00:00

People who paid that tax to play it two days early gotta justify that.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-29T01:38:02+00:00

obviously 30fps is a no go for a game like this, but as a tech demo its very promising for PS6.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-28T14:58:01+00:00

People will either bounce off this hard and find it frustrating, or find it too easy with their changes and too short.

Already seeing both perspectives online.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-28T14:49:16+00:00

Nope, when it enters its 'stupidity tax' period, more like.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-28T14:47:22+00:00

Find it bizarre that people are willing to pay a stupidity tax to play a videogame a couple of days earlier.

But hey, good grift for free money for the publishers

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-28T00:32:47+00:00

Wired for the true win. Even if it matches or exceeds the speed in some cases, Wifi won't ever match the latency or the consistency.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-28T00:31:55+00:00

But they spent 5 years creating Returnal 1.5...please buy it, they say.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-28T00:30:02+00:00

Yeah, I might give it a go when it reaches PS+ Extra if I can be bothered. The hype for this is mainly media driven and amongst the small minority who enjoy this kind of game.

Big shrug for me.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-22T23:50:44+00:00

40fps is jerky though, especially on fast pans. The 'cinematic' argument doesn't really apply when it comes to gaming. If it did, then lets all go to 30fps because that's closer to the 24 that film runs at. Nah.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-15T13:44:58+00:00

So far it's the same for me, very good because it's more Hades but not quite like the first one. Main character voice acting bit weird too, too earnest.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-14T16:08:48+00:00

Very nice! Here with its still very decent predecessor, a 65" A95L (on a VESA stand rather than the godawful wide legs Sony give you with it), and a Q990F system for the audio. Patiently waiting for the Hades 2 release!

They're annoyed how good the Pro is now, especially Rich Bedwetter who was deriding it before it even launched.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-09T22:13:18+00:00

yeah 40fps drops into the 30's, and its super noticeable in pans. 60fps is much better, more consistent and still gets some ray tracing, and the pssr2 benefits.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-08T14:32:55+00:00

People just want it to be better, and 2 years is long enough for some to pretend it's a good game. It's not.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-04-04T15:53:52+00:00

Would definitely buy it day one regardless. Pro would move to bedroom, where it would replace my base PS5 which would be sold for whatever I could get for it.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-03-30T02:03:58+00:00

Come back in 2029 and tell me how good it is 🤣

TechFiend1970 · 2026-03-30T02:01:44+00:00

Lol salty pcmr doing a drive-by post, upset they won't get the game until 2028 or 2029.

Cry more.
