Honestly, I think Idris Elba blows Keanu Reeves out of the water. Clearly we're on very different wavelengths if you think the acting in this is worse than the base game.

Literally both games that came out on other consoles that the PS5 so you don't actually need a PS5 to play either of them.

To be fair, FF16 is on my list of games to play... but like you said, too many great releases at once. I figure by the time I get around to it, maybe I can get a price break.

Just in time for the only game Sony has put out to make owning a PS5 worthwhile! (Fingers crossed Spiderman 2 is as good as its predecessors.)

EDIT - To be clear, spoken as someone who was lucky enough to get a PS5 on day 1 and almost never uses it. I like the Xbox controller and UI much better and... there just aren't many good exclusives. And a lot of the ones that are good end up on other systems anyways.

Considering bugs are the main meat of your post, it seems like it should.

Are you fucking kidding? You should put this in your OP so everyone knows to completely disregard your post. You skip all the dialogue in an RPG and then complain that it's too short and the missions are just fetch quests?

This has to be a troll post...

You realize that the 2.0 update that introduced all those new bugs is unrelated to the DLC right? Everyone got that update and those bugs regardless of whether they paid for the DLC.

It's funny to see this because I have found it to be the complete opposite.

First, the amount is surprisingly copious for a DLC. The new area they added is deceptively large because it has so much verticality. The main story missions for Phantom Liberty are also much longer than normal missions. The "like 5" you quoted is ridiculous because not only is it WRONG, it discounts the size of the missions.

They also added a ton of side missions and gigs, as well as two completely new side activities in car missions and supply drops. It's a lot of content and just saying "they only added x number of missions" is reductive and frankly deceptive.

And maybe more important than the amount of content they added, the quality of the content is off the charts. The art style and creativity in the new areas is fantastic. It doesn't feel like just more Night City, it really feels like a different area. It's visually distinct from the original game; you know you're in the new area without being told.

And the missions... the main story missions are completely different than anything in the original game. Fighting through the wreckage of a downed airplane to rescue the president and then getting thrown into a spy story complete with James Bond style banter over a roulette table! Idris Elba is amazing. Even the side missions are interesting with different ways to resolve them.

If you liked CP2077, I don't see how you could possibly not like this DLC. They added more of everything that was good about the original game and did it at a higher level than the original game.

When I think of some of the other DLC's I've paid for that are basically just a few extra missions and maybe a new companion or something, it makes this seem even better.

Now just so I don't sound like a complete fan boy, I will say they added in a bunch of new bugs making the game less stable than it was in 1.63, which is really frustrating. But everyone gets those regardless if you paid for the DLC or not. So as much as it sucks that they added those bugs, it has nothing to do with whether you think the DLC is a good value or not.

Thanks, that's much different! lol This looks pretty involved. Does it need to be updated all the time as Youtube updates, similar to NewPipe? Because NewPipe is a pain to keep updated but it also a lot less work. lol

The reviews on the play store make this sound like a pretty trash app. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong one...

This was annoying when it happened. Fortunately there are adblockers specifically for Twitch that work fine.

Lego games with the kids are great fun. Lego Marvel Superheroes/Superheroes 2/Avengers are great if you want to keep exploring the Lego games. I have found that the older the Lego game, the harder it is. Some of the puzzle-solving in them can just be annoying and frustrating. I'd stick to the newer ones and work your way backwards rather than the other way around. They definitely learned from their mistakes!

Forza Motorsport comes out... today? Looking forward to that myself!

A free demo? I'll buy that for a dollar!!

Starfield is indeed boring but NMS isn't much better IMHO. It is better, but I agree that it gets old quick.

Depending on your tolerance for jank, you might want to check out "X4: Foundatons" for a great space empire game. Start in a one-person scout fighter and work your way up to whole fleets, build stations, pirate, trade, explore, etc etc.

I'm still working through Phantom Liberty. It's so well done, a step up even from the original game.

I'm quite sad that Cyberpunk 2077 is all done now, but I'm excited that they have started production on the sequel. Say what you will about CDPR and how they botched the launch of CP2077, they game as it stands now is fantastic and probably one of my favorite games of the last decade.

On the side, I've been playing a fun little indy twin-stick shooter rogue-lite called "Shape Shifter: Formations". I tend to pick up a lot of these kinds of rogue-likes... they're generally dirt cheap so it doesn't take many hours of fun to feel like I got my money's worth. I'm 20 hours into this one so far... $6 well spent!

I'm not generally into farming games, but I do like the "Donut Country"/"Katmari" aesthetic and you asked nicely so I'll give it a shot. :-D

do stuff your own pace

This is the core of all their games. The guy who founded the company wrote his senior thesis on flow in gaming and every game they've made has been about helping you achieve flow while playing. The (very) short version is that the mechanics of the game let you intuitively set your own challenge level, which enables everyone to naturally reach a flow state no matter their skill level.

I am a really big fan of thatgamecompany. I didn't really like Sky though.

I feel like the overlap of people who want to play games, can afford and have a really good Internet connection, but don’t want to just buy a console/computer is really small.

This is a really good point. I wonder if the value proposition changes significantly in places where the internet is really good but the average income is a lot lower than the US.

I have had Gamepass for years and had no idea it had a cloud gaming component. lol
