You're also not mentioning big games like Deathloop and Kena: Bridge of Spirits, which are big exclusive PS games coming out next month.
I knew this would be taken out of context, I should have clarified.

I included it in my list of current games I am playing that are unavailable to play on PS5. I know Halo MCC is not next gen, but if I only have a PS5 I can't play it. The only reason I am currently playing it is to complete the series before Infinite comes out. I do this for most games.

When Horizon New West comes out I will play Horizon Zero Dawn from start to finish, the same can be said about God of War. May apologies for the confusion.

As for Kena and Deathloop. These games aren't really on my radar currently. Just some games I am not super excited about and not really looking to spend a bunch of money on. For some they look awesome, just not me. I am more hyped for both Forza and Halo Infinite than the former. Also, both are timed exclusives. So for me, I can wait a year and play Deathloop on Gamepass. Which the same can be said for The Ascent if you only own a PS5.

It is also on Gamepass for those that might be interested.

Did they ever fix MCC? It was broken with bugs and networking for so long it was like a meme before memes were even a thing.

Linus is a nut. "You can just sit down and play with it for a while"... brings every piece of test equipment he owns.

It also shows the confidence Valve has in the hardware. You don't invite a guy like him and tell him to go nuts if you're not sure the device is solid

Well, they wouldn't let him take it apart and didn't have an internal view, so not totally free with the hardware, and apparently they wouldn't let them just install whatever they wanted to try - they had to stick to titles that Valve knows will work well.

But the consensus from all the reviewers is that they did give off an air of "sure, just try whatever". Like the guy from Giant Bomb who pulled out the storage card while in a game... that's not something I would expect to be that polished this long before the thing ships.

So Warzone is so full of cheaters that it is becoming unplayable. Not that I or my friends are any good, but even in our lower crappy lobbies there are cheaters almost every match.

Many of the top streamers are currently boycotting until something is done about it.

Anyone else been playing and getting fed up? Thinking of making a switch to a new game.. just not sure which one.

The new season of Apex is really good.

You probably don’t recognize him all grown up and without his blanket.

Yeah, I've been playing and am fed up with it too. The worst has been this last season, with teams of cheaters in Plunder mode even. I guess with everything Blizzard is going through, the cheaters are taking advantage and going nuts.


Might go back to Apex Legends, played it during it's first season. Can't recall if there is a solo mode though.

I haven't found Warzone to be an issue lately any more than it has ever been. My friends and I seem to regularly place top 5 and I don't think I've encountered anything I would recognize as cheating.

Would be good for *something* to be done about cheaters in general, obviously, but if an issue has gotten worse lately it hasn't impacted my enjoyment.

No solo's in Apex Legends, but you can play Duo's without filling your team. Also the game is so much better now than it was in season 1. 18 legends to play from where most are pretty good.

Also if you play on PS or Xbox and you don't have many people to play with we are always looking for a third.
