Couldn’t even find a physical copy of Pokemon Legend Arcus at any local retailer. Ended up getting it as digital, maybe eventually i’l find a physical copy.
Dying Light 2 #6
More like negative 10
Although Dying Light 2 is a good game, I’ve encountered a game breaking bug. Certain cinematics have no audio and the subtitles aren’t on screen. Making it impossible to hear or read the dialogue, I’ve finished the campaign, and during the final battle i got an (CE-34878-0) error code. Happened twice during the final battle and no other part of the campaign.
Hopefully the dev’s have plans of updating Dying Light 2 in the very near future.
I almost ended up with the digital copy of the game, but I order the physical copy of the game off on Amazon because there was 12 still in stock honestly.
