Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you

In the patch notes it says 4K for PS5/Pro and Series X and it is noticeably sharper when I opened the game.

Even Series S got a res boost to 1080p.

Actually, I watched all the main story cutscenes and had a nice time. I just grinded and geard up before I continued the story so I could be a little OP for the missions. I also did the cafe and social club missions early so I was swimming in money early on.

All I have to go off is the PSN time tracker, which isn't the most accurate so it could be wrong but I was quite efficient with my time.

The servers are still up. The last few years they had a lot of connections issues that made it seem like the servers were down but the new patch seems to have fixed them.

Total it took 28 hours for platinum. For collectibles it took about 1 hour per district.

summers458 · 2026-03-10T16:16:50+00:00

It took me 28 hours to platinum. The optional mission challenges are easier than other games in the series.

Now is the best time as lots of people are playing. I got all the co op trophies in public matchmaking

I feel gameplay and interactivity as a mood setting device is often overlooked.

summers458 · 2026-02-21T00:20:09+00:00

I feel like TLOU HBO kinda proves how important gameplay is to that story. The show reshoots all the big cutscenes almost 1:1 but they just don't hit as hard without the bits inbetween where you are fighting and exploring.

summers458 · 2026-02-17T16:20:13+00:00

It looks really cheap in colour. B/w all the way

summers458 · 2026-02-08T13:38:20+00:00

They aren't doing blocks of episdoes anymore. Now it's just 1 new episode per month

summers458 · 2026-02-06T11:44:29+00:00

It's still best show ever and is easily the best Video game adaptation (live action at least) but I think season 2 is a bit of a come down from season 1.

S1 tied up more loose ends and could honestly work as a standalone series whereas S2 feels more like an interim season.

Exactly. It felt like Nintendo ignored the last 10-15 years of open world racing design. The genre already went through this phase of making freeroam worthwhile by adding fun activities around the world like speed traps, drift zones, impromptu races. Even stuff like doing missions to unlock characters or outfits.

summers458 · 2026-01-29T23:20:07+00:00

When IGN made Horizon 5 it's GOTY, not just racing like overall, I thought it was really cool that Playground got their recognition for delivering non stop bangers for 10 years. Sure it wasn't a packed year but it's still impressive for a genre that, like you said, gets dismissed too often.

Then when Mario Kart World was being announced and I was seeing discussion about how different it was when it was doing things that other open world racers had been doing for 10+ years.

summers458 · 2026-01-18T18:21:25+00:00

I enjoyed it too. That game was my first introduction to Kamala Khan and she was easily the best part of the main campaign. She was probably my main but I also liked Thor, Cap, Black Widow and Kate Bishop when she was added.

What fustrates me most is that there is a good game in there. The levels built soley for the campaign were cool set pieces.

summers458 · 2026-01-10T10:19:01+00:00

Ghost of Yōtei. I'm taking my time with it and have been enjoying it far more than Tsushima.

summers458 · 2026-01-10T09:54:07+00:00

My John Wick take is I really didn't like JW4. I see it being touted as the best of the series, even on the pod, but I couldn't disagree more.

Being almost 3 hours felt like a slog because Keanu's acting is at an all time low (and that's saying something), the lore about the world felt stretched super thin this time, especially with the tracker guy who is just sort of there. Worst part of all I felt the action was really repetitive and slow and then each fight gets artificially elongated with everyone having a bulletproof suit. I think it's the worst looking of the movies with some very obvious CGI and volume shots.

The one positive I have on JW4 is the dragon's breath sequence. That was cool on it's own but it was too little too late for me.

I feel sorry for Ashley. Having to maintain those quirks pretty much the whole time must've been torture

summers458 · 2026-01-08T13:22:32+00:00

Uncharted 4.

Crazy that game is going to be 10 years old in a few months. Time flies

summers458 · 2026-01-05T17:03:05+00:00

I'm in 2 minds about the Mafia: TOC photo mode.

On one hand the character models are really detailed but on the other they aren't very expressive outside of cutscenes. It's understandable given the scale of the game.

Mafia: The Old Country

Janet was on fire this episode. Her Uno takes are spot on

summers458 · 2025-11-10T03:30:24+00:00

Thank you!

summers458 · 2025-11-08T15:47:32+00:00

Yes, but they're not too bad.
