Just cancelled my Amazon preorders for Spider-Man and Demon Souls. If it’s not prepping for shipping by now there is no chance I will get it tomorrow. I don’t understand why they accept preorders on products and then never deliver on time. Luckily my PS5 is available for pick up first thing tomorrow.

High Praise from Vice on Bugsnax. Seems like it’s got a lot more depth than I anticipated. Especially for a free kiddie looking game.

“But folks, Bugsnax, the new game from the developers of the equally strange Octodad, is something more important: good as hell. I came in expecting a riff on Pokémon Snap, now with monsters mashed up with food, and also found a story about community, relationships, and the importance of communicating true feelings. I became as invested in helping a group of people pick up the broken pieces of their lives as I was in figuring out how to capture a Weenyworm, which Bugsnax describes as ‘a lazy little worm, it's only motivated by ketchup.’”

“It most reminded me of a good Pixar movie, where the words coming out of the mouths of the character are sure to sail over the heads of children, while landing square in the hearts of adults. It's not so overly serious or dark to make it inaccessible to children, nor so overly simplistic as to make it boring for adults.”

“One of the highest compliments I can pay Bugsmax is that when the game warned me I'd hit a point of no return in the story and I'd no longer be able to complete any unfinished side quests, I panicked because I really wanted to finish them. Could I find a way to delay my review? Hmm. Sadly, my deadline for writing this piece, written in the midst of pandemic and election, meant that wasn't an option—I had to push forward. And so, reluctantly, I did. When the credits rolled and I saw a "continue" option on the main screen, which brought me back to moments before I'd kicked off the endgame, I cheered. I could go back to Snaktooth Island, spend more time with my buddies, and see what else they had to tell me. The story may be over, but my time on Snaktooth Island was not. Chances are I'm gonna stay awhile, because there's a good chance these people still have something to teach me.”

The most beautiful altar for our Lord Saviour Cerny :messenger_savoring:

Damn the EU release a week later. I have counted days for last 4 weeks every morning I wake up. And to tease us, they will release games + peripherals tomorrow here, so I will go and get demons souls + headset tomorrow and then make my own altar for next 7 days to stare at:messenger_angry::messenger_tears_of_joy:

As you all know, Gamersyde has very good bitrate videos. So here are two games to see on PS5:


 

Look at this high bitrate footage from demon souls quality mode. You’ll be blown away how gorgeous the game really is.. borderline cgi... it just shows how YouTube footage is really crap... the lighting the level of detail is amazing... and pay attention to the sounds..

Lucky bastards that will play this tomorrow... :messenger_loudly_crying:
 
The hilarious vapor trick is the best thing about the launch so far.

Can’t really find anything super interesting to play on Series X. Not blaming anyone, but so far BF5 and Jedi are about it. Gears/ass creed/forza bore the shit out of me, so me needs some more 4k/60fps updates.

VaatiVidya is streaming demons souls btw



Also something i noticed if your inventory is full and you try to pick up an item it gives you an option to "send to storage" people were upset to learn inventory encumbrance was still in but i think this is a great compromise tbh.
