How do I apply for a job? 😅

Awesome. Enjoy it 😃

Any news on when your iron man review might be up too?

A new toy ,can I play?

I really hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to Sucker Punches next beast

Its the 👻 ghost playa.goty nominee.word ☝ up son

I've already bought the game but I'll still be looking forward to your review as always

Send us the copy! Haha.
Can't wait for this game!

How about you hire all regular commentators on a short term, freelance capacity? Then request from and distribute the game amongst these new employees for review of the game to come up with a meta review. First of its kind in the gaming news biz. Would put metacritic under.

@kyleforrester87 same for me, I got to some big camp where his friend had his arm chopped off or something. I've got to be honest I can't remember much of what happened in the game at all as it just kind of blended into one another. I did have some fun with the hordes and keep meaning to go back but fear it may seem even blander after the last game I played

@ShogunRok I'll trade you £500 and a copy of Knack 2 for that review copy of Ghost.

@get2sammyb I am in no way jealous 🤣🤣. Only joking hope you guys enjoy it. Look forward to your review its already a day one buy for me.

You guys think you're tough, telling us you're already playing it a few weeks before release.

I'm kidding. Can't wait for release.

good luck. hope this game deliver the best experience cannot wait to hear from u. I already pre-order my copy.

@Octane I can also throw in Anthem and Fallout 76

Something seems off with this game. When I initially seen the game and those fields and the wind and the stylish sword kills I was hooked but since the last video of gameplay it looks kinda empty and I just have a feeling it's not gone to plan. I do hope I'm wrong because this game could be something truly unique, I just don't think I am.

Sucker Punch & Sony must be really confident to give you 2 weeks + with the game before the embargo lifts to really delve into it... Very excited now!

Does it at least make you feel good? That's all I really care about.

@kyleforrester87 they did a great job with all the infamous games tbf, that's the game that got me to switch from Xbox funny enough so they defo have the pedigree. I just get the feeling that what's there will become repetitive very quickly UNLESS there is a host of killer features to blind side us and that's the side I'm hoping for. I had more anticipation for this game then TLOU2 at one point, now Cyberpunk has my anticipation levels maxed out.

@get2sammyb 'We got it very late, but we've started it. Embargo is Thursday, not sure if we'll hit it.'

We all know you got @ShogunRok chained to a chair with coffee and redbull on a cannula. He's already completed the game and is now mopping up the cold sweats from too much caffeine.

Yeah, because being teased about a game i'm really excited for is just what I want to read about....mmmm....

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to the review. Just to enjoy reading it because I dont rely on reviews. I hope they nail the story but I trust SP to deliver an enjoyable game.

Heck yes can't wait for this, man finishing tlou 2 and then this, and we still have ps5 in the end of the year, playstation gaming side is on fire this year

Hope it turns out great. After the deep dive a few weeks ago I was both impressed and a bit worried.. Hope it isn't generic with the same stuff happening again and again.

@get2sammyb The story really gets going once you reach Lost Lake. Before it is still good but can become a tad repetitive.

I enjoyed the early stages though, playing it as a Walking Dead simulator if sorts, and by the end was utterly engrossed in the story.

If Ghost is as good then that would do me!

@get2sammyb Thanks Sammy. Looking forward to it 😊

@get2sammyb can you tell us the file size?

I'm just gonna have to play this one for myself and see if it's good. After TLOU2 that's the last time I ever think of trusting critics on websites.

@kyleforrester87 it will certainly be fascinating to find out. We all said the same with Guerilla when they said they were moving from killzone to Horizon and look how that turned out! Lets hope for a repeat here

@Col_McCafferty
Same I hope to enjoy GoT in the same way. And yes, long is good when you enjoy.

@kyleforrester87 don't know why you not enjoing it.
I remember I had a blast with Days Gone from start to finish.
I even consider replaying it.
This game has its flaws, but they didn't bother me at all.

@get2sammyb I have read some reviews and every second author was complaining about overall size of the game.

I still don't understand this as I was enjoing Days Gone from start to finish.

Super jealous. Can't wait. Is it awesome?

@Blacksmith1985
Agreed. Actually I think the length was great. It was surprising how it kept going and getting better.

@kyleforrester87 I was the opposite. The first 10 hours I was pretty bored with the game and then I started having fun.

I would say experiment with different ways to take out camps and hordes etc. You can get quite creative especially with trip mines, berserk bolts, and bear traps.

Why make this article? To brag like a tit?.

I'm still not sold. Reviews will sway me on this one.

For me it's all going to come down to the combat. I want it to be semi difficult with some bloodborne influence (not too much but you get ny drift). I want encounters to be challenging but fair.

That and the story needs to be be decent. Not expecting red dead or the last of us (part 1) levels of good but hope it's slightly better than horizon or days gone which I enjoyed for what its worth.

I think Days Gone is a really good game especially on harder difficulty settings. Looking forwards too GOT.

Pah....double pah...!!

@banacheck I just started Days Gone (only because of TLOU2)

The loading screens were driving me crazy. I got Stuck behind 2 cars in the Tunnel so I saved and restarted to get out - but it now tells me I cant load my save and I get an error.

"cannot load data install pending"

I gave up, went to bed. This is no TLOU2 so far - but I'll try again tonight 😅

The game looks really interesting but I'm a bit concerned about gameplay mechanics. The first thing to ask is: Is it fun to play?

Next headline: "Yes, we're playing on a Sony system."

Consider me jelly!! 😁

More excited for the PS5 no offense to GOT. I can very easily wait for the short sale on it. But the PS5? I’m absolutely creaming! I hope I never wake up!

@kyleforrester87
I reckon it will be a decent game but maybe a little bare bones/empty. The good and bad of this is an update will probably come at a later date to flesh out bits and make it better imo.

@kyleforrester87 I know how that felt however, I recommend you push through the main story it will pick up eventually! Its extremely underrated imo

@Agramonte its buggy. But VERY underrated imo. It drags a little at the mid way point but it will pick up

@DangRedux Well, I guess you cant restart at the point I did. Or you need to start over. That is what I found online

I already need to know what happened to her and the copter. And the motorcycle chase was fun. So ok with trying this over again.

It will hardly grab my attention after Sekiro, and I found Second Son very meh... Since I love the setting I hope they improved a lot the gameplay, otherwise I'll pass.

I’m so jealous but the review is on my birthday so that’s something I know where my birthday money is probably going to.

@kyleforrester87; @carlos82 Hi there friends. I do have to agree with @Col_McCafferty. The game does become better after you reach Lost lake. Sure the pacing could have been a little better, the overarching narratives they created were actually quite interesting as you are learning more about these characters, seeing their stories unfolding throughout the game. I think Sony Bend Studious did a really good job with it´s story and characters, especially Deacon St John. One of the best main protagonists I´ve seen in a game. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers. I´m sooooo jealous of you guys right now 😁
But I really hope you guys have a good time with the game.
Sucker Punch hasn´t failed me yet with a bad game, but this one is special to me. It´s the game I´ve always wanted to play, since I´m a huge fan of ancient Japan culture as well as the Samurai ways and the Ninja mythology.
So a game made like this really makes me very much excited indeed. Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Ooh lucky you be good to see what you think, fingers crossed Sucker Punch pulls it out the bag again. I've been looking forward to playing this since the first reveal how ever long ago that was 😁🧐

How much more do you want to rub it in?

I don't think they make stellar open world's sucker punch but they do make solid enjoyable gameplay so i expect this to be pretty good.

Aye, when you done with it, send it my way!

RUDEST ARTICLE EVER.

What kind of BS 'article' is this? It reads like a kid in a schoolyard shouting "I've got a toy you don't have" to anyone who passes by. You can do better than asinine crap like this.

@Shigurui
I really don't think it was intended that way.

@kyleforrester87
That's because you need to use that bike.
Haha

@LieutenantFatman - Maybe not, but it does seem.....somewhat weird to write a short article that basically says little more than the title ("Hey guys, did you know we're playing the new Playstation game?") I mean, who would this be for? Those who are hotly anticipating this are probably going to be a bit annoyed, while those like myself who aren't are more likely going to shrug and ask why this article exists.
Just seems a bit unnecessary on its own, that's all.

I am intrigued by this game and love the setting but another large open or semi open world third person game just seems tooooo long and huge for me.

@RaZieLDaNtE I enjoyed it initially, I just felt it dragged a little before getting down to Lost Lake, the first couple of camps just weren't that interesting and the open world was ok. Some aspects I like such as the bike, despite it having worse fuel economy than a 747, the hordes are really good and the combat in general was better than many open worlds and the changing weather conditions were really good. By the sounds of it I've stopped just as it gets interesting so I'll give it another go

Of all the Sony first party studios I feel Sucker Punch is perhaps the most underrated. I really hope that they've finally nailed a game and that GoT is not only a critical success, but also a commercial one too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them.

@kyleforrester87 the thing I liked about Horizon was that they didn't just pad the game out with lots of open world busy work. Sure there were some collectibles but there wasn't an overabundance of side quests for the sake of it. Instead they stuck to their strengths and designed a lot of the world as a playground for its excellent combat mechanics against the machines and it was just fun to play.

I'm getting similar vibes from this (not robot dinosaurs, though that would be interesting) but that the world isn't going to be peppered with stuff for the sake of it, that and its focus will largely be on its combat. The exploration looks like its going to be quite natural and not just follow the yellow marker so many open worlds (including Horizon) resort to

@carlos82 I mean didn't it kinda pad it out by just placing a bunch of bandit camps around the map?

@Nepp67 yeah it certainly had a few of those but even doing everything my playtime clocked in at under 50 hours, and it never felt I was having to wade through meaningless content to get to the good stuff

@carlos82 I honestly felt the same way with a lot of the side quests even if I didn't enjoy the gameplay as much as I hoped I would.

I thought it allready released on the 26th of june. Little pre occupied with TLOU2 right now.

Cool, looking forward to it, just need to finish last of us 2 before then

Really can't wait for this👍👌

@kyleforrester87 trust me I've bn playing games for 30 years and the game gets better midway. Once u get what u need to upgrade its more fun. But stick with one faction to start with so u can rank up quicker I made that fault buy using the three of them all at once, and it took me forever to platinum but the game has alot of twists and turns and is buy far a better story than tlou2. But stick with it and u will be rewarded. But yeah its pretty lengthy. After tlou2 I'm now playing dying light as i never gave that a chance so just bought enhanced edition and gonna give it another crack. But boy I have a ton of games to get through ✌️

Indications seem good. Just listening to the kinda funny pod and Greg Miller let slip but covered it up saying it plays like Assassin's creed, also saying his co host will not get the pad back from his partner once they play it indicating IMO we MAY have a good game on our hands, that's if Gregg's opinion means anything to anyone obviously.....
