Paid £30 for my copy. Absolutely adore the first game and can't wait to get stuck into this sometime down the line this year after Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate III.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition .Picked it up in the sale. Very interested in having it as a game to alternate with my platinuming of Sekiro ,after I fell off Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Ecto Edition . which, although easy, was frankly, I felt, a bit naff, upon reflection.

@XIV hey, I’m one of the very few reprobates that actually thought Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League was a decent game… by that token I’ll probably think Gotham Knights a stone-cold classic 🤣
@graymamba I think the main issue with Gotham Knights is people comparing it to the Arkham games. It has its similarities, sure, but I think it was unfairly panned. People were more interested in what it wasn't rather than what it was. I played it co-with my brother and we really enjoyed it. We also enjoyed Suicide Squad as well, but Gotham Knights is the better game by far.
@Bentleyma yeah I reckon that I’ll eventually enjoy it mate. Gonna replay Asylum and City… and also play Knight for the first time before I even think about playing Gotham Knights though tbh, so it’ll be a while.
@graymamba Gotham Knights was OK, but nothing spectacular I thought. I never did finish it as it came off PS Plus Extra.
The thing that puts me off Suicide Squad is the gameplay variety. After playing a few similar types of games, I eventually get bored of doing the same types of missions over and over again to progress.
@XIV I fell off hard The Crew 2 and Motorfest as I didn't like the influencer/social media angle they were going for. Unbound seems a bit better, but I can zone out from it to a certain degree.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder I do get you… and I think that was the main quibble for most people tbh. Though I just found the actual moment-to-moment gameplay so much fun (the traversal and gun-play… and also the subtle variations between how each character plays) that while the missions themselves are very samey, I still found I was enjoying it.
As we all know, I’m definitely in the minority on my take with Suicide Squad but for people who prioritise gameplay over all else, it’s not bad. It took a bit of arm-twisting to get some of my mates to give it a go but they were all eventually glad that they did.
@graymamba
Nice bunch of titles. I hope you enjoy Rebel Galaxy, I picked it up as a PS+ title years ago and enjoyed it so much that I bought the sequel although the sequel (which I’ve yet to play) is nothing like the original.
Rebel galaxy combat is quite unique for a space game and more akin to naval combat in ACreed game.
@CaptD yeah I’ve heard Rebel Galaxy is a little gem… didn’t even know there was a sequel so that’s good to know. Not sure which of the haul I’m most excited about tbh… maybe Crab Souls.
@Hapless I’m also not much of a DLC fan, but Intermission was pretty great. Playing as Yuffie is quite fun. I have yet to play Rebirth but I understand that Intermission is also good background to have for that game also, so it’s definitely worth your time.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Hapless I decided to clear FF7 Crisis Core before Rebirth, so I’ve been working through that. I was really enjoying it at first but it’s easy to get bogged down with the side content. I might have to force myself to just mainline it. It is a really solid FF experience though, and the remake/remaster is top notch. So after Intermission if you’ve not played Crisis Core you might want to check it out also in preparation for Rebirth.
But yes, I’m really worried about the side content of Rebirth (as you can see it’s already a problem I struggle with) because many people say it can just take over your life. I definitely need to get in the habit of skipping optional content. 😄
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution@Hapless I would say Crisis Core is a must. There are story sections of Rebirth that would make a lot less sense without playing Crisis Core.
As for the side content, I hated it in Crisis Core. The "simulations" eventually got frustrating for me, so I stopped worrying about them and just focused on the main story. A smart decision. A shame some of the optional backstory of a certain character is attached to those rather than normal side content since I never finished them.
A pick and choose approach to the side content in Rebirth is the way to go. I wouldn't completely skip it, as there's some good side stories, but the amount of it does get to be overwhelming later in the game.

@KilloWertz I’m not sure if this is what you were referring to, but I actually really enjoyed the side quests with Yuffie as a little child. They are pretty funny and also give actual useful rewards. I completed the first section of them and I don’t know if she has more

@Th3solutionI'm assuming you mean these, which is what I was talking about... https://www.ign.com/wikis/crisis-core-ff7-reunion/Essential_S...
I enjoyed the story and wanted to finish them all to know more about Yuffie as a child since I actually like the character (unlike some people), but they grew increasingly frustrating. Like I said, I eventually just gave up on them and focused on the main story.
