Antagonising Micah at camp every chance I get in the amazing Red Dead Redemption 2. The amount of detail in this game is so good. GTA6 is going to be phenomenal, I can't wait!
I really really hope they do this story proud and don't ruin it with some fanfic sh*te like the live action series. Looking forward to seeing Essi Daven.
The dragon fights were quality in this one. Proper "Oh sh*t!" moments when you first encountered them. It also gave us Dorian and, my personal favourite, Sera.
I really liked the first one but I fell off Survivor pretty quickly. Nothing to do with the performance, I just couldn't be arsed playing it at that time. Maybe it being from Game Pass had something to do with it.
After finishing and thoroughly enjoying Star Wars Outlaws, I'll be sweeping up the remaining trophies for the platinum. I've also started playing Red Dead Redemption 2 again. The game still oozes class in all departments.
I'll always remember yonks ago when I was on an apprenticeship straight from school and there was this bloke there who was proper excited for a new game console called a PlayStation. I thought he was having me on with that name. Anyway, he got me into Sensible Soccer so props to him.
I've just landed on Tatooine and the old school Star Wars nerd in me is buzzing. Gazing at those binary suns above a moisture farm just makes me smile. Love the atmosphere in this game.
43 hours played and so far I'd give it a solid 8. It's a joy for those who like to just wander off and explore, looking for loot or following up on quest hints. Some of the maps are well designed and the atmosphere is spot on at times. I also really like Kay and her forming bond with ND-5.
If it's a new game that I've been looking forward to then I don't mind paying full price but most of the time I will wait until deep discounts or pick games up on PS Plus/Game Pass.
I've put in a couple of hours so far and gameplay wise, I'd say it was a mix of Uncharted with a bit of Red Dead. Kay Vess seems pretty cool, like a female Nathan Drake. What I'm loving the most is just walking seamlessly through streets into busy atmospheric bars filled with all sorts of alien species from the Star Wars universe. I think that the game's looks and audio are fantastic.
I bought this today and have it pre-downloaded and ready to get stuck in at midnight. I like Ubisoft games and I like (non Disney) Star Wars so this was a guaranteed buy for me no matter the reviews.

Social Media....
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered PS5 Is Official, Out 31st October with $10 PS4 to PS5 Upgrade
Ten pounds. That's like the equivalent of 3 Freddos nowadays.

Looking forward to this. GoT was ace.

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition Massively Oversold Projections, Remains BioWare's Biggest Game
@Lup Agreed about DA2. It gets a bad rep but the writing is fantastic.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Pro Enhancements Are a 'Vast Improvement'
I honestly don't see much of a difference but my priorities are gameplay > writing > graphics.
I won't be buying a PS5 Pro.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's PS5, PC Remaster Is Very Much the Real Deal
Still my favourite Sony exclusive and much better than its sequel, in my opinion.
Re: 'Final Chapter' of Star Wars Jedi Series Currently in Development
I really liked the first one but I fell off Survivor pretty quickly. Nothing to do with the performance, I just couldn't be arsed playing it at that time. Maybe it being from Game Pass had something to do with it.
Re: Yoshi-P Pleads for Modder Restraint Ahead of Final Fantasy 16 PC Launch
Hope they create a personality for Jill.
Re: Sony Boss Says 'PCs Are Difficult to Set Up', Firm Will Focus on PS5
I will always happily be a console peasant.

Re: Biker Babes and Minigames Front PS5 Favourite Zenless Zone Zero's New Update
I prefer my bikers to be mice. Preferably from Mars.
Re: PS5 Players Choose Performance Mode 75% of the Time
When given the option, performance mode all day every day.
Re: Capcom Finally Breaks Silence on Dragon's Dogma 2, Confirms New Update Is Incoming
Loved the game and I'm ready for more of it.
Re: 13 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Just say YES! to Far Cry 5. One of the best in the series, in my opinion.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Patch 1.1.2 Has Trophy Fixes, Easier Stealth Missions
Any fix for the infuriating inverted camera when in photo mode?
Re: PS5 Pro Can Run PS4 Games Better Via Improved Backwards Compatibility
Na ta, Sony.
Re: Ubisoft Investor Calls for Company to Go Private, and CEO Yves Guillemot to Be Replaced
I've enjoyed more games made by Ubisoft than I have by Sony. Controversial, I know.
Re: 25 Years Ago, Square Released the Best Final Fantasy Game
FFXII was released 18 years ago. Sort your maths out, son.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws' Instant Fail Stealth Sections Will Be Reworked in Upcoming PS5 Patch
I've just landed on Tatooine and the old school Star Wars nerd in me is buzzing. Gazing at those binary suns above a moisture farm just makes me smile. Love the atmosphere in this game.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
These modern day padawans lack the patience for stealth.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Big Patch 7 Won't Be the Last: 'The Chefs Must Cook'
One of the greatest games in recent years keeps getting better.
No complaints here.
Re: Guns More of a 'Fallback Solution' in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Guns should only be used against fancy wielding swordsmen.
Re: 80s Synthpop Stars Heaven 17 Resist the Temptation of PS5's GTA 6
There's so many obscure bands that I've gotten into because I heard their songs in GTA. Love those radio stations.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
43 hours played and so far I'd give it a solid 8. It's a joy for those who like to just wander off and explore, looking for loot or following up on quest hints. Some of the maps are well designed and the atmosphere is spot on at times. I also really like Kay and her forming bond with ND-5.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
@Marquez 😄 Well played.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
Still loving Star Wars Outlaws. Who knew that in a galaxy far far away, you'd find different alien species speaking with a Manchester accent.
Re: Sony Execs Seem to Think the Company Doesn't Have Enough Original IP
I'm ready for another Uncharted game.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Director a 'Little Disappointed' with Critical Reception
I love Kay, she's cool and a badass at the same time. Who cares if she looks like Luther from The Warriors.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Director a 'Little Disappointed' with Critical Reception
This game got the Days Gone treatment. A very solid and enjoyable game given negative reviews because it did nothing new for its genre.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself
Most of the best games that I've played these last few years haven't been from Sony so I'm not that particularly fussed.
Re: Jennifer Hale Says AI Is Coming for All of Us
The Protheans did try to warn us.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 544
@KilloWertz I did mean the lockpicking, sorry. Not sure why I wrote slicing.
I also like the eating mini-game which gets you a nice perk for Nix.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 544
It's all about sabacc, sneaking and slicing this weekend in the very atmospheric Star Wars Outlaws. Loving it so far.
@Ravix Agreed on the slicing being easy. I was expecting early level KCD lockpicking the way that people were mentioning its difficulty.
Re: How Much Would You Pay for Your PS5 Games? Dev Says Industry Is Waiting for GTA 6 to Hike Prices
If it's a new game that I've been looking forward to then I don't mind paying full price but most of the time I will wait until deep discounts or pick games up on PS Plus/Game Pass.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
I've put a couple of hours in and I'm enjoying my time with it. Crawling through vents and slicing locks like a proper rogue thief.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Open World Pledge Produces a Superficial Space Outing
I've put in a couple of hours so far and gameplay wise, I'd say it was a mix of Uncharted with a bit of Red Dead. Kay Vess seems pretty cool, like a female Nathan Drake. What I'm loving the most is just walking seamlessly through streets into busy atmospheric bars filled with all sorts of alien species from the Star Wars universe. I think that the game's looks and audio are fantastic.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Open World Pledge Produces a Superficial Space Outing
@Ravix Yeah, will do.
Love that Henry profile pic.

Re: The Witcher 4 Close to Full Production, Next Cyberpunk Progressing as Planned
Two of my favourite ever games. Well up for more of 'em.
Re: PS5 Fans Who Paid $110 for Star Wars Outlaws Early Access Asked to Restart Saves
I'm currently downloading the base version ready for a little blast at 12 midnight. Can't wait.
Re: Kratos Actor Chris Judge Claps Back at Amazon Exec's Gaming Dig
I think that the video games that I play are better written, better acted and better edited than most modern TV series and movies.

Re: Round Up: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Reviews Are Hit and Miss
Ubisoft comfort and fun to play are what I took from those review summaries. Sounds good to me.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Drops Loads of PS5 Gameplay, Action Combat Details
The combat looks decent but that HUD is disgusting.
