I still don't really see the point of Game Pass. Maybe it's all psychological and I'm a bit broken. I've got a 12 month Ultimate subscription, so all those games are there. But considering I can dip and dive into any of them, I feel rarely inclined to bother. It almost feels like having them as free commodities cheapens their worth.

I recently bought Origami King, TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima, and considering I paid full price I felt way more inclined to finish them. Which I did. Meanwhile there's a lot of stuff on my X that has only been grazed over, as I've been fickle and just tried multiple titles. Maybe it's just me <shrugs>.

@severeatrophy they're just getting battered. I completed my.purchase using a guest login, I'll just amend it through customer service at later date to tie it to my account.

@Pat_trick that's how I'm reading it.

@Enuo you're not alone, man. It's 4pm here and I had to re-read it a few times before my brain accepted it.

@nookie_egg @OMG_Waffles I just couldn't do with the pant-sh*thing VR experience of playing a heightened terror simulator after a day in work. I think this was the day where I had to acknowledge I'm getting old.

@nessisonett speed run?! People are smashing it in less than an hour now aren't they? Get your name in lights, @nessisonett!

@ArcadeHeroes yeah, I concur here. Value is completely subjective. And I completely agree about the bloated open world collectathons. I haven't finished an Assassins Creed game in years. It's exhausting, as opposed to fun.

Less is more, sometimes. I guess it is very much, as you say, a case of each to their own ✌

@ArcadeHeroes I'm not disagreeing with your sentiments, but I think what @nessisonett is saying is that it's a bit hard to stomach paying £50+ for a game you could finish in a handful of hours. I say this because I share that view. It's one thing to say judge a game by its quality, but surely value forms part of that as well.

I've got no beef playing shorter games; I'm a huge fan of indies. But their price tag is usually appropriate whereas I'm not sure RE3's is.

@Bentleyma- nope, just a preorder. I put one in with Amazon, got my code, then cancelled the preorder. I've done it with Anthem and a few other games. Get involved, son!

Playing the beta now. Much more fun than I anticipated considering the amount of moaning making the rounds. I'm happy to give it the time of day now; may even consider a purchase at some point.

@Westernwolf4 yeah, I remember loving it at the time and haven't been back to it since... its probably not aged well but I respected them massively for what they were trying to do with it. Good to find a chap after my own heart

That brief snippet of the enemy reminded me of The Suffering. A PS2 gem IMO.

I just gone mine. Didn't know anything about it until I had a notification through the app. I was expecting a theme or something so it was a lovely surprise tbh

Questionable source? Do you mean like mayonnaise?

Finished TLOU2 last night. 30 something hours. I avoided all the chatter and spoilers, so I was finally able to go online and find out why people are so incensed because it honestly wasn't obvious to me... I've concluded that (in my opinion) the reasons listed are absolutely ridiculous.

I thought it was a genuine masterpiece, and had zero issue with any of the bones of contention. It was mature, thoughtful, and like any great story full of lots of grey areas. Its also come at a pertinent point in human history, where the issue of "us" and "them" has never been more of a problem.

Jumped right back in on NG+. So that's my weekend sorted.

@rockertherockgod gone into limbo. He says he's still working on it but it wouldn't surprise me if its dismantled at some point and incorporated into another project.

FINALLY. The Kung Fu Panda 23 tie-in that we ACTUALLY deserve.

Gameplay and aesthetics are very much reminding me of Ratchet... but that's no bad thing mind.

@LiamCroft literally what I said during the reveal...

@NorrinRadd same. I think I'm actually going to have to build a shelf behind the TV specifically for this...

@Paranoimia yeah buddy, no beef. I would have been disappointed if it was just PvP so I was happy to see single player confirmation. I was pointing it out in case it made a difference for you ✌

@Paranoimia dude, it literally says in the article "includes both a single player campaign and a suite of multiplayer options."

@pip_muzz nah, Silent Hill: The Room (4) came out on PS, PC and Xbox. I've still got my Xbox copy stashed away.

Sounds impressive. Is missing collectables something easily done though if it's a sprawling expanse? I'm someone who likes to meticulously comb when I play, and judging by the sound of this I may be stuck in the areas for a while...

Love the Commando reference. Will def pick this up soon.

Mad excited. I've avoided the spoilers and can't wait for the final product. I might do another play through on 1 whilst I'm waiting... it's not like I'm going anywhere.

@Grimwood yeah, he's got a pretty extensive collection of insider sources regarding game development. He's literally written a book about it.

@darksoul77 tried Night Trap?

@nessisonett you and me both, brother. Regular routine and exercise still can't offset feeling like crap after being stuck in for 7 weeks. We'll get there, my man. One day at a time.

@LieutenantFatman yeah man, like the above said; I finally took the plunge a few weeks ago as I was tired of waiting. Definitely worth the cash. No question at all.

Is that a USB-C port in the back I spy?

SOLD.

Ooooo, look at Ramsey being a big Grimes fan 😉

Thanks for this, chaps. I've been ISO for 3 weeks now with four little ones... this makes things a hell of a lot simpler. Not all heroes wear capes, brothers. Stay safe x

@TheBuzz so are you saying that you're refusing now to buy any game, day 1, that has a mandatory patch?

To the people excited for Control; you're in for a treat.

I picked it up (and several cases of beer) just before Xmas as a holiday treat to chip away on in the evenings. Brilliant game. Really surprised me. Take the time to watch the videos and read the documents you find, they really add a ton of depth to the world.

@get2sammyb 100% in agreement with this. I'm fair less inclined to finish a game from PS Now or Game Pass because of ease of access. If something doesnt immediately grab me I move to something else. If I pay £50 for a title I feel far more obligated to push it to make sure I'm getting my money's worth.

@Futureshark I don't understand it either. I've just subbed a month for a quid and knocked it off straight away. For the next 4 weeks though I'll play Outer Worlds and Gears 5 at a minimum, and then leave them be. That's £80-£90 they've lost, and that's just me. I know a few mates who open new XBL accounts habitually to take advantage of the £1 joining fee... where is the money actually coming from for them to be profitable?

I was curious about this but wanted to see it running before I looked to queue. From what I could gather it was housed inside one of those cargo containers and was out of sight, which didnt fill me with confidence. Despite being a huge fan of the franchise I decided to skip it.

Played it yesterday at EGX. Still undecided tbh.

SOLD! Looks right up my street. Loving the enemy designs as well.

Oh Robert, you're such a tonic

@ShogunRok oh yeah 100%; HG completely pulled the lead out and cracked on. And that clearly shows in the product. I'll be REALLY surprised if either Fallout or Anthem pull it back though, given their dwindling populations. The constraints they're under are very different, and they have my sympathies.

I've been tempted by a cheap copy of Anthem a few times now, but hasn't its playing population shrunk down to bugger all now? I mean, I'm all for the game getting better, but from what I've seen it just seems like a lost cause now. Anthem and Fallout rely on a repeat, online gaming presence. NMS doesn't.

@Amplified true, but I'm one of the few people in the world who doesn't have a functioning PC. I did, and it was a good 'un too, but it died and I've never bothered to fix it. It sits in the corner of my bedroom, a broken husk and depressing reminder of my inherent laziness.

I'm glad this coming to PS4. One if my gripes from MS's show (asides from it spending 15 minutes trying to sell me Game Pass...) is that it was hugely unclear what was MS exclusive and wasn't.

I get that they aren't going to go out of their way to advertise multiplats, but still... every video seemed to start with WORLD PREMIER and GAME PASS DAY 1.

Anyone else having a glitch where you beat a horde, then for reasons unknown they reappear? My mates done the sawmill about 4 times now.

@AdamNovice goddamn, we're old...

@Athrum exactly where I am. I had to walk away on Tuesday and collect myself... tonight... I return for vengeance.

So excited. Mines on it's way. Literally cannot wait to pick away at this beast.

Oooommmm, he said a swear. I'm telling miss.
