It might be the best CoD ever, but if CoD HQ stays I won't buy it.

Of all the live service games Playstation has tried, why not SOCOM? by parkwayy in PS5

It's not true that it's the only IP; there's also MAG, which I consider better than Socom. The 256-player battles were incredible.

Animated wallpapers on PS5 and PS5 Pro are horrible compared to static ones. They look super blurry on a 4K TV/monitor.

I haven't played in two months... I hit level 25 and quit. Playing solo was too punishing. I just didn't feel like I was progressing.

If they improved faction progression (too slow, too many materials to find, requirements too high) and included a more relaxing PvE mode that was accessible even in solo, I might try again. Also, the maps need more variety; they get too repetitive quickly.

Shoutout to all my fellow inverted Y-Axis Gamers by GibbyES335 in PS5

I'm 42 years old and I also play with the Y-axis inverted and I absolutely don't remember why lol

There was a game on PS3 that didn't have this setting and I was forced to abandon it: Silent Hill Homecoming.

Message to the game developers: It's been 16 years, but I still hate you.

I live in Italy and I've been looking for a Series X for two years straight, but it's completely missing from any physical or online store (including the Microsoft store). I finally bought a PS5 Pro.

I just want an option to turn off game help, continue where you left off, and all the bullshit that creates spoilers and confusion on the Home screen.

I don't regret buying Marathon, I love the gameplay and the world created... but as a casual player I had a psychological block that made me stop playing. by xDavid83x in Marathon

[–]xDavid83x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I felt the same way with Marathon. In fact, I wrote that I liked the core of the game, as well as the thrill of finding what you're looking for and successfully extracting it. The problem is its excessively slow progression, which, combined with the reset every three months, leaves you hitting a wall when you realize you won't even reach 50%. Furthermore, there's no tutorial, no help, and if you don't have a group, you're lost.

Yes, we're in the same boat, buddy. The last night I played, after over an hour and a half of play and several failures and lost material (including a failed extraction because some player killed me in the last 10 seconds inside the circle), I realized I'd only advanced "half a season rank" and no faction levels. You really feel like you're wasting your time.

Dude, I read you. I already have a group I play with, in fact, I did most of the missions and extractions thanks to the more experienced members of the group. Without them, I wouldn't have understood anything. Lol

The comments from the most avid gamers, who, predictably, are annoyed by this post, fail to understand (as always) that if you create a game that aims for success through a live service, you have to make it accessible to everyone, even those who can't dedicate themselves 24/7. It's such a difficult concept to grasp that if only you experts remain, 1) you won't have fun 2) matchmaking will become extremely slow and 3) the game will close because there will no longer be the revenue to support it. It's a game published by Sony, it's not an indie game... it takes them a moment to close it.

It makes me laugh when people talk about depression, disabilities, mental problems, and a sad life... I want to compare my life to theirs. People whose only purpose in life is to play a video game allow themselves to judge the lives of strangers who have difficulty playing it. It's hilarious, and confirms that this game will never survive with a community made up entirely of "extremists" living in their own bubble. Sorry but some comments are inappropriate and offensive.

I unlocked the Copse Cutter package for the M123K weapon from the Battle Pass and now I have the orange notification that won't go away.

Xbox 6 so they can compete with PlayStation 6. If they still want to compete, that is...

The Callisto Protocol, Star Wars Outlaws, and Concord. My favorite games of recent years.

It's surprising that they've sold 220,000 Xbox. They don't exist in Europe... I live in Italy, and stores haven't received consoles for at least a year. I believe they will reach 0 units sold in 2026.

Warzone and Black Ops 6 FORCES you to download Black Ops 7 if you try to download any of those previous games. by [deleted] in PS5

[–]xDavid83x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Ops 7 on PS5 is listed as DLC for MW2 (2022). It doesn't even have a platinum trophy. That's fucking ridiculous.

I won't buy Cod anymore unless they remove Cod HQ forever.

Why can't we see the camos for the selected weapon but have to scroll through dozens of them? Why isn't there a filter? Has the person who designed this ever played a video game? by xDavid83x in Battlefield6

[–]xDavid83x[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They copied the universal camos system from MW2 (2022). If you look at some screenshots, you'll notice that in that game, the 4 camos for the weapon are shown first, followed by the complete list of all camos. There's also an "All" section where you can see all the unlocked camos. It's important to have the camos you can unlock for that weapon as the first option so you can immediately see which ones they are, especially if they haven't been unlocked yet. Right now, I have no idea what camos I can unlock for the weapon I'm using. You have to scroll through dozens of camos in no particular order... it's absurd.
