This happened to me with my copy of Watch Dogs Legion. I received the US copy from Amazon and the PS5 upgrade didn't show up on my Indian account. Had to switch to my US account and claim it from there.

What the? They (Amazon) had did a really shoddy packaging job when it came to my Xbox one X and it was just a basic plastic cover wrapped on the main box. For the Playstation 5, fortunately, it was packed appropriately for the day-1 models. I think they are really cutting a lot of corners these days when it comes to packaging products.

Yus, it was for me.

25 hours in and I only managed to complete Akiyama's chapter. Spent way too much time with the sub-stories, collecting locker keys, getting all hostesses to No.1 & just beating the crap out of random thugs on the street. I now understand why everyone likes Akiyama; he's such a suave character. I really enjoyed his story arc so far and very intrigued by the way it ended and now, even more intrigued with Saejima's kick-arse start. RGG studios really knows how to make a totally action packed main storyline. I also have to give special props to the way they design their female character models; they are absolutely beautiful. Here's a shoutout to these lovely ladies! Will keep you all posted with the progress.

Looks like EPIC game store is finally it's achievement system next week: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/news/epic-games-achievements-are-launching-next-week

Dang I think I got 8 months extension or something on my Ultimate sub. Mine was due to expire in October 2022 I believe. Now it shows next charge date is on 23/6/2023. WTF? Yeh kya kaala jaadu hain bhai.

Congratulations to everyone that scored the console! Hope you all have a good time.

Potential games for PSNow October line-up:

@Assassins Creed My total file size comes to around 83GB. Is that correct or am I missing any additional DLC download? I think you mentioned the download + install size was 100+ GB. Is it because I'm in one X and it has a smaller file size?

From what I've read, Capcom have done pure Nintendo exclusive deals before and they are on very good terms with them. However, for Monster Hunter series, I would have understood why they would accept the exclusivity deal if the franchise wasn't mainstream. Post release of World and it's massive success, I would have expected the mindset to change and they could have targeted the remaining games on all platforms. This game is unfortunately not being developed by Capcom's mainline series team and instead with the portable development team, so it probably makes sense they went with the Nintendo deal. Stories 2 released simultaneously for both Switch and PC. It's personally a disappointment as I did want to try Rise (not interested in Stories 2) but don't have/want a Switch & potato PC is on it's last legs. The wirebug mechanic seems really interesting and some of the cooler monsters like Valstrax, Chameleos, Ibushi etc are great additions. It still doesn't have a master/G Rank, so I guess the DLC announced would probably be that much requested mode.

Timed exclusivity right? If it's now on PC, no reason for them to not develop it for remaining consoles.

Yep, seems like a similar port job that they did for World on PC. It's a shame the game is not on Playstation or Xbox yet. Not sure why Capcom even went with this decision when they saw how successful World was on a global scale. Hope it comes to current gen consoles, else I'm skipping this.

This happened to me once and it was hilarious. I always thought it's the responsibility of the first one to reach the gate to pull the lever while others make their way in. I was the last one to reach the gate, superman dived and saw that everyone else was standing in a corner which was not even close to the lever. Suffice to say, we all turned into tandoori. Along the same lines, I think it was yesterday or the day before, we were down to 2 carts in the first phase itself. Fatalis decided to stay put near that cannon platform location which the the far opposite area to the gate and always the worst possible location. I was doing my attack non-stop and totally forgot to stop and get my stamina back. It went into the the flame attack mode, wind pressure knocked me back even further and took time to recover from that animation. By the time I reached the gate, I was all out of stamina and they had to pull the gate. Man it was so close, I can't believe I even made it that far. It shouldn't one shot unless it's on blue flame, you have low fire resistance/defence stat or if you have received chip damage from it's ground flame puddles prior to it's attack. I have survived plenty of those attack but it does hit hard. I have added cooling jewel to my build to avoid the ground flame DoT. Also if you have max evade window, you can easily dodge that attack. With Dual blades in demon mode, I just dash at the end moment. LS or GS would be strong contenders for starter weapons. Both have very high RAW but you'll need to augment or have to enough Crit/Agitator jewels to negate that negative 20-30% affinity which is present on almost all Fatalis weapons. Else stick with the current Alatreon or Raging Brachy weapons and gather a few more eyes. Hit the guiding lands and start the augmentation process. Be sure to have enough moolah as it will have you go broke if you don't have enough zenny.

Hahaha! Thought it would be exhausting if there would be 100+ sub-stories spanning across 4 protagonists. That, and I wanted to get to Yakuza 5 faster as I'm more excited to play that one. Guess it will have to take a back seat again. Then again skipping sub-stories would mean giving up on random moments like this

Has anyone played Modern Warfare 2019 on PS5? Does it have freezing issues after every campaign mission i.e when a cutscene triggers?

What time does Avengers come out on Game pass?

Yakuza 4.

Finally ended up starting Yakuza 4 yesterday and I had planned to do a main story-only run, but as usual, ran into one sub-story and boom, muscle memory kicked it to divert myself. Now I'm back to completing all sub-stories. Thankfully, it seems there aren't as many as the ones in Yakuza 3 (which was a ridiculous 100+). Depending on how interesting the rest of the characters are, I'll go for completing most of their sub-stories. Haven't faced any Amon's since Kiwami 2.

Nice! You can start upgrading/augmenting those armour pieces now as that's what you'll be wearing on most of the hunts. The Helm, I think, has maxed out stun resistance which would be important if you're getting hit constantly. Else, you can start right away with all 4 existing gear and combine it with some other headpiece and you'll get all the Fatalis set bonus. Each of it's weapons require 2 Evil eyes for max upgrade. So better plan ahead on what you want to build first when it comes to weapons. There are so many build combinations you can make now if you have the right set of jewels.

Wow! 13 mins, super fast clear time. Now you can chop away at Fatalis in his event quest. You still need more Evil eyes to build that armour and weapons though, but you're now at least in clear with the special assignment.

Yep, working them into your combos seamlessly is a sign of efficiently using the weapon. But the foresight slash feels immensely satisfying when pulled off correctly and the Iai spirit slash is truly weeb-mode counter and badass. Spot on! Melee weapons always allows you to be close to the target monster while bowguns can shoot from a good distance. Even with my spread 3, all I'm doing is just spamming R2 and release for guard to do it thing. With the Dual Blades and LS I have to be on guard every time to evade out of an incoming attack. In the words of Kiryu-chan
