Not sure about that.
Sony is again put in a unique place where they are getting positive rep without even trying or spending any money on marketing.
They will cash this in for as long as they can.
All Xbox fans, even the big public Xbox influencers, are buying PS5 Pro anticipating a price increase soon.
Don't play easy man. I would highly recmmend to play on normal. You'll feel this game much easier on Normal difficulty if you explore and get better weapons. Equip all pictos, there is no limit to it. Equip the health ones if you are dying too much.
Game opens up and completely changes in Act 2. There is this 'Reserve team' mechanic as well. I feel like the game is already too easy in main path, playing on easy would break the game.
Already I have some weapons that feel like breaking the game, one shotting enemies.
Or perhaps you guys stepped into some high level unknown territory. Do those later.
