IMO the bandit and opponent AI needs heaps of work still so I turned them off and have just been playing it as a super chill city builder. With how much he is set to make from this launch I wonder if he'll employ some more help to fast track the development. Given you create your own avatar and...

Some cool tips from my favourite Cities Skylines creator. There are some I really didn't know and haven't made it as far into the game for some of the others.

Who else has been giving this a go? It's on Game Pass if you were unsure. After spending way longer than I probably should have designing my first emblem I had a few starts to get a feel for the early game. Despite a lot of bugs due to the nature of an early access indie game this complex I...

I've always had breaks for a season or two every couple years to refresh but now I'm ticking over 12 months with no desire, not even with Final Shape coming. It feels like because it's so close to the end of the Light v Dark saga that it doesn't really matter. I'm also still active in a huge...

It should say PS5 as it's an entirely separate install

It depends if you decide you want to get into settlement building or not. If so pick up bits and pieces but don't go crazy. When you transfer your junk to your settlement workshops it can be broken down for materials and you'll start to get to know what breaks down to what. For example I'm...

If you have Extra then the upgrade should hopefully be available soon. It looks like even Bethesda were unsure about the Plus licensing stuff but the intention was for the upgrade to be available for Extra subs but not Essential.

It definitely feels much more like the PC experience on console now. 60fps the most obvious upgrade but even on performance the blurry and low res textures are gone and everything is much more detailed and defined. Draw distance is better and upgrades to lighting to shadows are nice too.

Much easier than my long work around then lol. I'll leave it up in the case it helps someone else. The licenses are definitely a bit screwy at the moment though.

Now that I'm home and back in my console I actually came to say that all the licensing looks generally stuffed up. I bought the GOTY edition years ago but when I go to that version it asks for payment. All the DLC is unlocked though so I'm not fussed. If you go through the store and hit the...

Game Pass yes. PS Plus actually may be available on Extra soon. According to this Bethesda are working with Sony to hopefully sort it out. It isn't uncommon for Plus licences not to be eligible for upgrades but the way I read this is Bethesda assumed it would be available for Plus Extra...

Played through Silent Hill Short Message last night with the bro in law because we're both massive pussies. Really enjoyed it and liked how the story was pieced together. The ending and theme felt like a bit of a cop out for a Silent Hill game but still thoroughly enjoyed it. Only thing I...

Most of the PC updates were backend and technical things like adding ultrawide support. The graphic update for consoles was to bring it more in line with the PC version. However it sounds like the UI is still stretched on ultrawide like when you use a hex editor to enable ultrawide (probably...

Anyone on console tested downtown Boston yet to test if it's still a stuttering mess and prone to crashing? I noticed on PC there is still a 60 fps cap? I assumed maybe it was just a delta time calculation that they finally included in their engine's math library for Starfield, but the fact...

Yep unfortunately I don't think the Plus version can be upgraded. It happened to me as well when Cities Skylines remastered came out, despite dropping heaps of cash on DLC over the years my base game was still Plus so I had to purchase it. This has been the case for most upgrades as Plus is a...
