Big fan of roguelites. Picked this up on pc last week because of how highly “rated” it was. People who don’t like the repetition/ difficulty are playing the wrong genre. Found it a weird choice for PS5s first big exclusive, but I’m enjoying the hell out of it!

“This tells me is that at least half the player base quit by act 3, yet this game is supposed to be some kind of magnum opus”

You’d be surprised to find out how many people don’t actually finish the games they play. It’s actually pretty common, and not a good metric to judge a games quality. Just go look at trophy/achievement data for other popular games. Its like this across the board.

For example: only 45% of players have the trophy for beating the final boss in god of war Ragnarok (one of the best reviewed games from last year, and PlayStations fastest selling exclusive ever).

for when you need to see your dice roll at night but don't care about the actual game you are playing?

DO use the Q from time to time. The disc tray is very lightly greased from the factory and will eventually start sticking shut (or failing to close) once it dries out.

I've had mine since they were released, purchased new from National Console Support.

Holy shit, they still exist lol. I don't think I'd bought anything from them for at least 20 years.

Get used to it, or don't buy those games...

I've used pretty much all the major launchers except for Epic for over a decade and never had a major issue with any of them.

Although, with a few exceptions, I tend to buy games from their proprietary clients more often than not anyways rather than force myself to use Steam as a middle man when it isn't necessary...

It makes sense to me that Playstation players would be more likely to finish RDR2. Sony as a brand pushes their "epic", "mature" single-player experiences (Uncharted, TLOU, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon, etc). so it makes sense that their base would be more likely to finish a game like RDR2, because gamers whomst prefer those kinds of games would be more likely to own a Playstation.

Mine was on the bottom as well, but I removed it. I use a Freeloader disc now if I want to boot in NTSC. I didn’t mind this because I mainly got the Q for collector purposes. I know it works and want to keep it that way, so I have a regular Cube that I play on.
