Sackboy is fantastic, and great in co-op as well.  Meet your Maker looks like it could be fun  I haven't heard of Tails of Iron, will have to look it up.

I hope Sony fires Iron Galaxy from porting their games to PC going forward lol. TLoU PC port is an absolute mess! Uncharted collection was...okay as a port, but still a lot of post-launch work was needed.

TLoU suffering from constant crashes and even taking an hour for many for precache shaders. I thought it was just review bombing, but loaded it once, crashed when going through options. I'm gonna go back to RE4 until Irony Galaxy fixes the game.

Damn shame. Coming off the stellar season of the show. Player numbers were going pretty high after a few hours, but bad word of mouth will cause player numbers to drop pretty quickly.

Iron Galaxy is also responsible for the Batman Arkham City PC port which was abysmal. At this point, Sony might as well start another studio from the ground up to handle their PC ports, or just leave it to Nixxes (who probably have a ton on their plate as it is).

It was actually Arkham Knight that was the abysmal port, which still gives me nightmares to this day lol. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony does decide to make a new PC porting studio or acquire someone like Jetpack Interactive. They ported God of War which was practically flawless and I'm guessing would be working on the Ragnarök port as well. 

Nixxes has been putting in work though ever since getting acquired! They fixed the Horizon: Zero Dawn port along with releasing ports of both Spider-Man games within a few months of each other. Both being stellar PC releases at that! And last I checked, the studio only had 55 employees. There hasn't been anymore updates to either Spider-Man games in over a month, so probably safe to say they're fully working on their next port. I'm predicting it'll be Ghost of Tsushima. 

Iron Galaxy had a HUGE chance to continually bring in big business and blew it. Unless they're currently working on porting TLoU 2.....which hopefully Sony will keep a much closer eye on now.

Sackboy is a great game, enjoyed a lot.

I'm waiting for the US Senators to ask the USA government to look into why PS5 is outselling Xbox Series in USA.

Wow, that was fast! Probably will require a few more patches before the game is in a fully playable state. But only a day to put out the first patch is a good start.

The question is if it was so fast to correct why did it launch with these problems and even day one patch didn't solve them...

I hope it had a seatbelt fastened on the way home.

Safely made it home lol

Just need some time to set it up - likely on Fri or sometime during the weekend. Gotta arrange my PS4 and Switch to make space for this beast.
