I wait for a 25 buck drop. Then I am ready
This needs to be on PSVR
I thought this looked fun but hearing that it’s launching on PS5 with tech issues identical to its previous launch tell me one thing – the devs/publisher are lazy. It’s the same engine so the “fix” is going to be similar if not the same. To push it out onto new platforms with bugs you’ve already fixed in other versions is simply a no no. It’s too sloppy and I’ll wait for a deep sale and a polished product, thanks.
PS5 on top as always.
I did not expect that the PS5 version looks so much better than Series X.
PS-Owners do not deserve this very special game, the PS-Community showed an awful attitude at release for GamePass. I was enjoying this underrated game. Now I am interested how curious PS-Owners are, Now that the game is also available for their Console. BTW nice that the new DLC is for free in GamePass 🎉 I am looking forward to it! For all who didn’t gave a try, just do it 🤣👌
Bought on Xbox, found it very fun & F'n hilarious.
Definitely not for gamers with modern sensibilities (imo).
Would buy again on PS5 if it was physical.
This video has crushed blacks. Where the games set up with the same color gamut,color space, gamma, limited or full?? It’s for sure not on my end.
Was this always a timed exclusive?
Ps5 struggling already is a joke 😢
The devs were high on somrthing when they priced the game at 60 dollars. No thanks.
Oliver has slotted in at the top of my DF favourites. Definitely the most relaxing listen.
I loved this game. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the humour and the gameplay. I'm so happy that there's DLC this Fall.
Kinda hard for me to buy a game that not truly next gen. Ratchet and clank…. I will never get that feeling back ( super fun, felt like a kid again ) demon soul was the best looking game. That say a lot because the best looking game was FFX, still have a soft spot for it.
Game run better at 30FPS because it had to build the game base on the series S.
I’ve been waiting for this review for almost a year! Love this game! It should so also come to Switch
The audio in this video is so quiet! I had to use headphones with my phone to even hear most of since it wasn't loud enough for the speaker
THERE IS A GAME BREAKING BUG WHEN YOU PICK UP ALL YOUR GUNS AFTER YOUR TRIP TO APPLEBEES THAT GETS RID OF ALL GUN UPGRADES. DOES THE UPDATE FIX IT?!?! PLEASE ANSWER
I just finished this one on PC and I got really suprised it is so gooooood
Always find Oliver's audio too muddy, would be nice if he could tune it to be easier to hear.
I’m so stoked that this made it to PS. Been waiting to get my hands on this for so long.
I hope you guys are going to cover the new Quake II Remaster, it's fantastic, i loved John's DF Retro video on it back then and I just tried the multiplayer for the first time and it's so fun, i wish Arena Shooters would come back man 🙂
NOTE: Just received an Update for the PS5 version. Performance Mode runs much smoother!
Joguei no SS, o jogo continua muito bonito e com um ótimo desempenho.
Funnily I noticed the same weird issue with the framepacing feeling off when the FPS stayed the same on the xbox game pass PC version. It felt terrible to play.
I have Xbox s and enjoy it 😉😉😉😉 and love it 😁
One S really runs pretty bad comparing to the base PS4 version.
Stray comes to XB. All versions tested………
Come on!!
