Well, let's hope the piracy continues beyond 2028, that way we can actually own our games (Rip them to PC) so they can't be taken away.

If they paid him, it's pretty understandable. It's always a bit of a disappointment when a character gets recast and don't sound the same. You get attached haha

@A-steak-with-ketchup "Simply get to be". Engrish! On a serious note; we don't actually know and won't unless they go into detail.

I actually did, as I saw it in the Nintendo Switch 1 releases this month and wondered if it was on ps5!

I actually wondered about AI in this game last week. It came put after Peak (2025) did on Steam so I wondered how long the game was in development. Apparently, 6 years! If this is the case, it's fairly believable they just used AI at the end to squash some bugs they were having trouble with.

If they add it to the store, they should let you use PSN Credit to buy it.

I might use the £10 off the controller, both of mine suffer from stick drift... But that's probably all.

What is calm and DAZN?

I've heard of exactly 2 and a half of this "star-studded lineup".

I'll go for some Dead Island 2, already completed Riptide and the original. Already gave Tomb Raider and don't care for deck builders, though.

There's no campaign afaik, it's just a post with lots of likes on SteamCommunity:

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/595140105668154379/

I awarded it some points myself, but would also sign a petition.

GTA 6 mentioned AGAIN. Come on, this is definitely paid for by Rockstar, right?

Horizon Forbidden West was on Extra last time I bothered to pay for it haha Tales and Mafia are good additions, though. Poppy Playtime 2 is mildly okay if you want a quick survival horror aimed at 12+ rather than 18+ like usual.

@asdfghjklz Love how you zoned in on a singular part of my comment when I clearly was not defending them.

"In the publisher’s defence, the accompanying image does show the Season 1 roadmap". Yeah, but they also SEPARATELY state "Season Pass" and "All future paid DLC". That was a poorly thought out post... But I agree, they didn't foresee the game doing as well as it did and therefore failed to predict a year 2... Still, it's right there.

Had no interest in the Halo remake as I always thought the first title was rather boring. I also beat Gears 1 on 360 a while back so not much interest there. However, I would have actually shelled out for this one. Always seems to be the way haha

@Toilet_Goat Ahh ok, where are you from originally? Yeah, I get you. ATG does have an installment plan, £24 a month for 10 months for a 3 day ticket. You can also go to twickets or hunt around just before the festival and find them cheaper usually.

@Toilet_Goat @GirlVersusGame You joke, but I did actually watch them live in 2019, even dragged my friend along when he was super tired and he fell asleep on the balcony seat, bringing new meaning to their name haha My favourite will probably always be The Night Does Not Belong to God by them, but it's not a super guitar centric track, has a neat polyrhythmic drum section during the chorus, though.

I also noticed you said you played Brütal Legend (I liked a few bands like Megadeth and Maiden from the 80s but that game got me digging back in time a lot after I played it) and Saints Row 2! I love those soundtracks. I think Saints Row 3 was another favourite of mine, Ater the Burial was one of my favourite bands in 2008 and hearing them in that game was amazing. I got to meet the whole band and before Justin passed away, too. They were all incredibly nice. I've also seen Miss May I with This or the Apocalypse (Also had The Word Alive and We Came as Romans on the tour). If you haven't checked out This or the Apocalypse, I could not recommend their album "Monuments" enough - for me that album beats out Miss May I and even any by August Burns Red.

To Toilet Goat, are you from the UK? I noticed you said Birmingham! I have to say if those are all the bands you've seen you've missed out (I saw all of these in the UK, too!). Download used to be good for me, but lately I've been doing ATG festival which has a lot of great bands. I'd also recommend Radar if you haven't heard it, Mick Gordon will be headlining! Unprocessed are also amazing (Seen them 4 times already).

Sylosis is about the only thing that surprises me here - Although my mate saw Castle Rat at a fairly small venue last year so guess they got bigger quickly. Also had no idea BMTH did a song with Ed... But that band has only trend hopped since Suicide Season, which is when I decided to stop bothering with them.

Will it have a drum kit? I legitimately learned how to play some songs (hardest/favourite being Demons by Darkest Hour) on a GH drum kit and double bass pedals and that was useful beyond the game itself.

@MindfulGamer 64 years later? That first example is loose at best. It was more like a 4D cinema for one than gaming tech (After all, it was pretty much just Pong back then).

@ShadowRJ One game froma rival company? Not at all. It's a good game, but they could easily challenge it. One of the original ideas was to make it much more accessible for their developers (And others who may want to) to add VR aspects to their current games or have it as a plan during development cycle and they never followed through with that. As such, all the biggest and most desirable titles such as Spider-Man 2 or TLOU would remain flat screen and anything else that has followed since such as Ghost of Yotei.

@Areus I mean, I get a Disney AND HBO sub with my Sky Package and Sky doesn't even own those services (Obviously), so why isn't crunchyroll basic on PS+ already?

Are they going to include at least a basic sub with ads for PS+ users? If not, I don't care and I don't want them to shove it in my face. It's a slippery slope, next they'll be advertising Raid Shadow Legends or whatever the hottest garbage is there.

I suppose, like a bird in a cage, it would be overwhelming at first. You'd take time to adjust to a broader form of freedom, but we as humans always do.

I have to say ownership of a concept I can't agree with. My views on life are that it's temporary and like an open door, we just go to another experience when we die, so I personally only have attachment to this particular form as long as it is beneficial or worth fighting for. If I thought I had no chance and I was truly restricted to be someone else's property, I would be inclined to be free or die trying. Not that I advise that for you, but it's just how I see reality. Maybe one day you will feel differently or maybe not. However, this body is not the last place you will be, I'm sure of that.

If you have never had parenting, then all I can say is that I want you to feel loved and so I'm saying this now, I love you. You are worth life, love and happiness. If you don't have that, I wish you will soon and understand your own power.

I don't think everything needs representation, though. Some things are really a flaw in our psyche brought on by past traumas or an attachment to abuse. Maybe discussion without any judgement is better than openly embracing some forms of sexual activities.

@GirlVersusGame Yeah, I figured of someone really wants to hack someone's account, they still will, but less chance like you say. My own account has many Plus games (Many of which I never even add) and many deep sale games, with most of the big releases I buy near release date on disc only. So, I know my account is pretty worthless to someone trying to make bank haha
Still, for people who pay out for many of the newest releases with their hard earned money, it must be a real bummer.

@Slayer25c If they don't, it should give the all-clear for piracy to host the games/updates instead.

@GirlVersusGame As someone who was also exposed to sexual acts/content at a young age, I'd say it very much IS worth not displaying openly. I keep my son far away from anything like that, he only knows the basics of how babies are born now at age 8 and that's how it's staying for as long as I can. I like to think that curiosity to sexual relationships really only develops at the average age of 12-13 (And at that point it's simply a curiousity of wanting to spend time with people we "like") if we are not exposed to anything like that. Heck, if Hollywood wasn't so insistent on shoving a love interest into nearly everything, then I think it might happen naturally even later. Unfortunately, this game will probably fall into the hands of kids maybe even a bit younger than 14.

Is it possible to change our eMail? I recommend getting on an eMail you use for literally nothing else if so. That way, no one can find the associated emIl address.

I was hoping for something horror to play through, but, saying that I have enough horror games to get on, so will do those instead and ignore all of this. A catch up month is okay now and then.

KillZone? Didn't they break ToS on the last game and shut it down with like 2 months warning or something?

This is incredibly lame. There are still games that cater to those who wish to play one-handed such as GTA and Stellar Blade, so why don't they play those and stop their mumbling?

Well, I was going to buy this game on Steam for mods when I finished the 2nd, but I already have it on ps5 and this saves me money! Nice.

@old_gamer74 So, you avoided Fallen Order but it was on your shortlist and then chatgpt gor you to try it? Yeah, I don't like extraction shooters so when I watched a review I was a bit put off, but ultimately it only took a few more minutes to finish the review where I decided it wasn't for me. I mostly check out games that catch my eye or are free on Plus so for me, it's a really quick process to just use YouTube.

@old_gamer74 You can't just simply watch a trailer/short review to know if it will be your thing?

Absolutely nothing for me today. Probably won't add anything.

I bought Toy Story 2 so I guess I can use that whenever still. I also have a PSP for 3 if I feel so inclined. So, just Star Command I can no longer access. I'll live.

Don't think that's worth my time and I never use Twitch. I'll be fine with no new armour.

@Mes_Urson Yes, I felt exactly the same about Resident Evil Anderson movies, the first 2 were fun but then it went to the post-apocalyptic stuff and I lost interest a bit. I was also not much of a fan of how Alice became the super bad ass that could easily defeat Nemesis in number 2, though.

I haven't gotten round to see Uncharted yet, either. Did you check out the Until Dawn movie? I thought the game was rather movie like so I didn't really see the point in that.

Classic MK was also something I watched as a kid, so nostalgia gets me there haha I did like the new one, though but haven't watched it's sequel yet.

Definitely watch Sonic 3, it's definitely on par with the others, I watched that one in the cinema. I'm sure you've also seen the Mario movies, too, they were good.

I'd recommend Warcraft as well. It's not amazing, but at least worth a watch.

Playing The Witcher 3 certainly isn't the best thing for me to do right now... I've just finished the first game on Steam so will start Assassins of Kings tomorrow instead. After that, I can finally try The Witcher 3 with even better graphics. ☺️

@Mes_Urson Yeah, I get you. What are your favourite video game movies then?

I wanted to give this a go, but I read something about survival mechanics like a linited battery life and I just couldn't be bothered to be time limited like that.

@PuppetMaster No, I watched it in the cinema with my friend completely sober. I do think it's good and I don't need to "believe" that because I know so because, as you say, it's my opinion and just as valid as yours.

@Mes_Urson Movies very very rarely follow the game plot 1:1. I'm ok with that if I've already played the game anyway, I don't need to see the story play out nearly identically.

I still think the ps4 Shadow of Mordor plays ok... The only problem is getting the character to do exactly as you want. Arkham series also suffered this sometimes, because there were so many climbing options or prompt options in a small area. If they actually somehow fix that I'll bite. Other than that, the games are great on ps4 and guess what - You can play them on a ps5!

I should also note I haven't got around to playing SoW yet.

@PuppetMaster Nah, Revelations was good if you aren't expecting a direct sequel/the same as the original movie. People do this all the time with music, espect the band's second or third album to be the same sort of par as their sophomore and then it gets panned despite being good on it's own merit.

@Mes_Urson Try Revelations, it's better than Return IMO.

I hope he does better than the last one. I think the first 2 are fun, though, it's just too bad that they don't connect properly without some major adjustments.

@PuppetMaster At least there are some steps being taken to ban super intelligence now.

@Max_the_German Are you talking of changing dialogue on NPCs? You would be soending an eternity on one game alone... Talk to real people in the real world if you want that. Heck, just say random things to anyone you meet to gauge and influence reactions. I prefer knowing I've heard most of what the NPCs will say and moving swiftly on to the next part.

@Deadlyblack Not really, they're all in on AI. With the other dev, they at least might hire some people.
