@AlejandroMora and also, when can we expect said review to drop?

I don't understand the appeal tbh. If you're cheating isn't it just like shooting fish in a barrel? If there's no challenge, where's the point?

Am I the only one who thinks it's bizarre that they've made a Titanfall game/spin off with no Titans? That was literally the only thing that attracted me to it.

Well, that and wall running, but they've done away with that as well.

I keep getting kicked mid freeroam. It just looks back to the intro screen. Hopefully I'm in the minority.

I haven't pre ordered but the demo is sat on my PS4... weird.

Am I the only one that thought the gunshots actually made progressive damage to the tissue? It may have been trickery, but it looked kinda liked that from where I was sat.

Aww bless, you look absolutely knackered in that bottom picture 😂😂

@get2sammyb for me to feel compelled to keep playing, I'd say yes. I appreciate how people register or interpret fun is massively subjective. Some people find it in Mario, some in Getting Over It. I think the issue here (and I acknowledge the fault is probably mine), is I went into it expecting something similar to RDR. Which, to be fair, wasn't a completely unrealistic expectation.

To me though, in terms of gameplay, the two are like chalk and cheese. RDR felt like GTA with cowboys. This feels like a whole other degree of realism. I'm not sure if it's bad, but I wasn't expecting it. Which is more than likely why I came away disappointed.

@Amplified I felt pretty alone in sharing your view. It just feels like there's not much actual game here. Start a mission, follow someone for an eternity whilst they talk nonsense, then do something fun for all of 3 minutes before rinsing and repeating. I thought I'd take solice in hunting, but it just feels clunky as hell. Constantly having to click sticks to track is annoying as hell. And having to pitch a camp to craft is so slow and tedious. It just feels like hyper realism dialled up to 11. Is it gorgeous and detailed? 100% yes. Fun? Not really.

The dice look pretty cheap as well, so it must be Activision... it's definitely happening #itsallconnected

@JoeBlogs I think it was the impressions of the dash and presentation being a bit bare bones that did me in... plus I already own most of the games. It was for collecting purposes mostly. Who knows, I may snag one with some Chrimbo moolah.

@naruball see, I was the opposite... having played some recently I thought they looked a bit poo at that time. The stuff in the advert was cleaned up a bit though getting rid of the infamous jaggies. I cancelled me pre order recently because reasons, kinda regretting it now.

Am I the only one who thinks it's utterly bizarre now that Nintendo are fine with this stuff, and it's Sony doing the censoring?

It's true though. Considering how insane the world is, they'd have to push it to a ridiculous limit to make it worse than it is. I think Trey and Matt said something similar with South Park, being that it's impossible to make jokes out of it considering how inherently absurd the whole situation already is.

@ShogunRok now that it's clear you can turn it off, my first question is "Well, why bother even incorporating the online element at all?"

@suikoden I have no beef with his acting chops, I think he's been perfectly fine in pretty much all of his roles. I just can't imagine him as the grizzled character that Geralt is. IMO he's too young and too pretty.

Urgh. That's some terrible casting right there.

"By playing Fortnite at the event you could nab an exclusive in-game item, but still, it's not worth sh*tting in a bag over, is it?"

You're my hero, Robert.

I can't believe you put Peace Walker below Ground Zero! That game is incredible, and I've probably sunk 150+ hours into it. It'd easily be in my top 3 with Snake Eater...

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi that means nothing, and doesn't wholly justify their decision. Working for an enormous company, I get that the bottom line counts. But public perception weighs heavily on our business decisions. And being as big as we are, I have to make decisions all the time that I don't personally agree with, and which cost us money. The alternative is that we risk reputational damage in the public eye, which is exactly what Sony is doing right now, and something big businesses typically avoid like the plague.

A total cop out. I don't even play Fortnite, but this just seems like a bad
move.

SOLD and then some. Loved the first, and this looks great. Where do I sign, boys?

@Gremio108 Yeah don't get me wrong, I'll buy it 100%.

But I'm super happy that Chad Strengthface is finally getting some love and recognition. I kinda feel like I'm on to a winner here.

@adf86 jesus... thats even worse than my piss take name's. I think I'll stick with Chad Strengthface.

They need to make the main dude less generic. Can anyone even remember his name? Its something ridiculous like Logan Rockwell or Chad Strengthface but I can never remember.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person in the world that loves Rage. In the infamous Doom Drought of the noughties it was a welcomed respite. It wasn't the greatest, but it was fun and the gunplay was juicy.

I'd effin' love a sequel!

All of it, the combination of the sounds, the animation, the damage and even the rumble... It all adds up to visceral oomph that never gets old. I love it.

One brilliant thing I noticed yesterday when chucking my axe at water barrels in The Lake of Nine; depending on when you press the recall will actually affect who long the axe takes to come back... because once it hits the water it starts to sinks, thus increasing the distance from Kratos. The fact that the game registers that there's depth there in the water (even if hidden from view) is bloody brilliant.

I'm currently reading Blood Sweat and Pixels (which is great btw), and seeing the ridiculous conditions and pressures that these guys have to sometimes work in, the tears don't surprise me in the slightest. If anyone is a fan of gaming, I'd recommend you read it just to see how much of a feat it is just to get a game made... and to also give you perspective.

On topic though job well done, fella. We salute you.

Mine arrived today. I've been playing for 5 hours straight. It's really something special, and looks absolutely incredible in 4K

Why is time moving so slowly? I'm trying to avoid watching any kind of video, but having just watched this and the IGN video review I'm literally poised to soil myself in excitement.

@get2sammyb out of curiosity, what issues did you have with the first? I'm not looking for an argument or anything, just genuinely interested in your view is all.

@ComfyPants someone needs a hug...

@YummyHappyPills "early amiibo face" = good name for a band.

@JoeBlogs There is a chunk of game before you get anything that provides any decent defence, so stick with it. I love love love the Alien universe, but I doubt I'll ever play Isolation again. A great game, but I felt like I'd visibly aged by the end of it...

@Octane @get2sammyb it wouldn't surprise me if they cash in on the Infinity War hype. That comes out in May, it features Spiderman, and that's going to be huuuuuuuuuuge.

... I actually thought it was free to play, and yet I still haven't bothered. That's not exactly good.

You'll have to let us know @get2sammyb, if that weirdo who messages you everyday regarding Xbox has anything to add to this...

@KirbyTheVampire yeah, I think the fault was mine for having expectations too high. I think calling it a beta was a bit misleading though. I was expecting something meaty, but it just struck me as pretty much identical to any one of the demos that the 3DS has had in the past.

And yeah, I'm in agreement that MH demos cover a miniscule portion of the final product, so here's hoping the final product will be more satisfying. As mentioned above, I'm a fan of the franchise so they'll get my money regardless

I was pretty disappointed tbh and I went in super excited. Across all games I've sunk about 400 hours in, but this is not the huge revolution I was expecting.

It's just more MH with a shinier coat, open areas, and the ability to get points from foot prints <shrugs>

Yeah, I hated the bloody timer. I always wasnted to explore and comb at my own pace and constantly being rushed made me feel like I was missing stuff. Thank God they've done away with it, as I may even give this one a go...

I picked it up on Switch, and whilst it's enjoyable enough the slow movement of the character irritates me after a while. I get that its got a very deliberate pace and aesthetic, but for a game that rewards exploration, taking ages to move from point A to B seems a bit odd to me.

Looking forward to collecting my pledged copy. Huge fan of the first game.

@ShogunRok amazing, exactly what I wanted to hear. Being able to leap up and down heights in the predecessor with a chewing quadraped of death was a highlight for me. Cheers for the response!

Is beast riding still in there, Rob? And furthermore, if it is, is it still restricted to just wargs?

Steamworld Dig 2 was a damn good time. I highly recommend.

I tweeted bungie about this particular mission last week, because I too thought it was fantastic. The crawling through the vents, the score, the lighting... it was very Aliens-esque.

I must be one of the lucky ones too. Racked up about 40 hours over several days of play and not a single crash on my Pro.

Is the pre order bonus only applicable for the digital version of lost legacy?

@Rob_230 gah, beat me to it.

I still have a huge soft spot for the audio work that was done with Dead Space.
