Alright i change my mind
Returnal is a must cop even at the full $70
finally got a hang of the game and downed the first boss now im trying to get up the mountain on the red planet cant remember name.
man this is what owning a ps5 is for this game is truly a next gen game. The ps5 generation starts with this game in my opinion.
this and village will keep me occupied until rachet comes out
next gen is here lol i had to make myself put the game down once i get some more time.
had a great run to where i died because i was getting cocky and taking too many risk and had a bad *** gun and cant even remember the name of it
but that sucks it crashed i just got a patch for it today.

I concur... Free.99 for hopefully a few days wait will be worth it to me.
Got a countdown clock on when my son is born this month & then the sticks will be hung up for a while...sigh

Mine is 3 months; once he starts sleeping well at night it's a game-changer. Until then you can power through a ton of Netflix.
That first week though...

very hard for me to recommend this one as a must buy due to the rougelike nature and no saves. its great when you have the time tho

Damn that sucks.
It's one thing to die and loss progress but the game crashing is another thing.
Looks like Housemarque is looking into it.

About damn time.
I've been doing a lot of PC gaming lately but been looking for a new game to play on the couch but nothing caught my attention. Might have to jump back into DQ XI

There was and apparently the offer was too low which is wild because the offer was for more than 10B...I think.

Caved in & bought a disc version of Returnal at the local target. BB taking too long.
Game is decent so far. I know you’re supposed to lose in the very first fight but I tried so hard not to LOL.
Controller haptics & use of the pressure sensitive is noice.

Just beat the 2nd boss on returnal took me 2 tries. found him easier than the first surprisingly
I would have beat him the first go round if I knew what I was getting myself into I went in with the spitmaw I do not recommend that gun against him, but if you have to use that gun make sure it has the slug unlocked so far that's my favorite gun spit maw with slug
im now running around in the 3rd world pretty dope so far

I'm still in first Biome in Returnal
Been just exploring and getting down game mechanics.
This is the first game I played a game like this
so I wanted to wrap my mind around having to mandatory backtrack, sleep in the ship, get my weapon proficiency up, saving the health bars until i clear all the rooms
Accidently stumbled on the first boss while exploring and lost.
seems easy enough, but now I need a block of time to dedicate just to this game.
Also has anyone playing this game ever run into that whole seeing another player
and trying to avenge them?? I have yet to do that.

Absolutely hate this about the game. Not everybody is trying to do a 6-8 hour run. I’m just trying to play and hour or 2 after work but I gotta grind through the first 2 biomes to get my health, weapons extra lives, and parasite up before going into biome 3 adding easily 4 or more hours.
I don’t have the time for that **** every single time I load up the game

I put the system in rest mode last night after playing a few. Doesn't it just start right where you left off? Or does it start from start screen?
