People with a PS Plus subscription enjoy discounted prices on various PS5 and PS4 games and extras. While it might not be as large a deal as the typical sales at the PS Store, there are still numerous recommendations to be made from the array of offers available.
As a dedicated fan, I was concerned that the latest update might not address the game’s most pressing problem. However, when Capcom shared on their Monster Hunter Twitter: “Upon Title Update 2’s release, we’ve tackled an earlier issue where shader compilation during gameplay led to high CPU usage and instability,” my worries were alleviated. It’s great to see that they are working diligently to improve the game for us players!
To clarify, the Nintendo Switch game under discussion is Dave the Diver, developed by South Korean studio Mintrocket. This game received free downloadable content (DLC) recently. For those not familiar with the title, Dave the Diver combines elements of action-adventure and simulation games, earning a 90 on Metacritic upon its release, placing it among the top-rated games of 2023. Interestingly, for approximately a year after launch, Dave the Diver was exclusive to the Nintendo Switch console, as it didn’t become available on other platforms until 2024. As we move towards 2024, it is worth mentioning that by November 2024, Dave the Diver had sold over five million units, marking a significant commercial success for Mintrocket.
During our discussion, Yoshida brought up an interesting point about gaming – historically, it’s been a relatively inexpensive pastime because the industry has generally resisted increasing prices due to inflation. However, he added that certain games offer premium versions, like deluxe editions, which can retail for as much as $100 or more. While these high-priced options exist, Yoshida also said that some gamers find value in them and are willing to spend that amount. Ultimately, whether you think it’s worth the investment is a personal decision.

This time around, we anticipate Anger Foot might be the main event, but don’t expect any big-name sensations. Perhaps it would be worth delving into your past projects instead.
As a fan, I’d describe it as the Wastelands – a sprawling, sandy expanse dotted with remnants of a once-industrious civilization. The industrial vibe here is far more prominent than the serene Faded Fields. It’s not just about walking; you’ll find plenty of opportunities for climbing, particularly in what appear to be former enemy strongholds. In many ways, it echoes the lawless locales of Pandora, teeming with bandits and challenges aplenty.
