@yazzika Exactly this, I think it's why I didn't really get into Burnout Paradise and all the modern NFS games but on PS2 I loved Burnouts and NFS Hot Pursuit and the other linear race track arcade racer games.
I was interested in another Dangerous Driving title but the whole create your own tracks main draw of the game completely put me off it, so even in the black Friday deals, I didn't buy it.
@DreadfulDragon But inconsistently? Does Simpsons ever give a character an extra finger on one hand at any time? People took issue with the poster because it's different on each foot, not four toes on each foot.
I think it's the first time I've ever selected the most negative option, it might not have been so bad had I not already played Lego Horizon, but that's just how it goes.
@JoeNobody I think it was simply because it's not on PS4 so they felt they had to write "PS5" to be specific about which playstation it's on, that's all.
@Max_the_German Yeah, the tone. Of one note. That's been recorded by someone who was fine with it's use and got paid for doing so. These two things you're comparing are not the same.
@Max_the_German it's the morality of using AI that plagiarizes real artists work, and orchestral music on a computer are original pieces created by a musician/composer.
@TheArt I see what you're saying but it is somewhat unfair to compare it to two games that will have had far greater budgets and took a lot longer to make I'd imagine.
@Leinad7 Oh right, well, I just don't like playing any game in existence online, I only play local co-op or single player games. Just having to join a lobby annoys me lol.
@Hapless Ain't it! I have mostly positive reviews for a game of mine but one such review claimed one of the reasons it was bad, was because it is a pixel art game.
That would be great for me too, I'll have a trilogy of never before played horror games! I'm a few hours into Last of Us 2 (Yep I put off ever getting it because I knew it was be quite depressing, lol), then I'll play Alan Wake 2 and then if true, Silent Hill 2, blimey. Funny they're all number 2 installments.
My favourite game of the Broken Sword series so was hoping this would happen, and it's much sooner than I expected! BS1 is my second favourite, naturally.
I started from the very first game on PS2 with it's Hollywood voice acting and it was very jarring at first to go into the second game with Japanese only voices but obviously fits the game better. Then as someone else pointed out, it was amazing to have a free camera in the third game.
@Rich33 Interesting because I stopped playing Origins because I didn't like playing as one character, but I also wasn't a fan of the game's structure of a campaign, going around the map screen.
So I was hoping for a game like DW3 with all the characters in this engine because the actual gameplay in levels is brilliant, so I for one am absolutely happy about the news of this release!
I've seen a lot of people focusing on the new graphics and saying it's awful looking now which is amusing because the original looks ugly as hell. (Even with the Revision mods)
Was happy with the soul reaver remasters Aspyr did so I think I'll be thrilled with this, as a massive Deus Ex fan, and hopefully it will lead to Invisible War being ported if it sells well enough.
I had high hopes for this game but I struggled to solve much of anything. I think I would have preferred it if it wasn't a procedurally generated game.
@Bramble Yeah it's been the best way for me to be partially physical and partially digital. Sometimes I get a bargain physically and sometimes digitally. It cost me just £10 to play Creed Shadows!! I bought it ages after release for £30 new and sold it on for £20 when I was done.
@TrollOfWar I might have sold mine because I realised I play retro games for about 5 minutes before im bored but I second your opinion, it's a great system and I still kinda want to buy one again cos they're cool lol
One good thing long term about a separate disc drive unit is that, for instance, my PS4 drive is starting to really struggle to spit out the discs. If it was a drive it would be just a case of getting another one, rather than replacing my whole console. I need to look into if I can fix it though, but just trying to think of something nobody might have thought of! I hadn't, I hated the idea of a separate disc drive..
Edit - Ah I just need to clean debris with a q-tip and solution. Still, I suppose my point would still be valid if the laser died..
@RobN Yep, I didn't buy Mortal Kombat 1 for £20 around 3 months ago because I just had a feeling it would be on Plus soon, otherwise I would have just bought it there and then.
@windxtravelerx Alright, well I don't want to make light of what you have to go through as whatever I have that's not diagnosed sounds fairly trivial to yourself. But I am sure I have anxiety about a lot of things, it's stopped me from looking for work. It can be crippling.
So what does it mean if I put a disc in a case and the image isn't upright, I can't just close the case knowing it's wonky inside, I have to rotate it until it's correct, otherwise it will feel like there is disorder. It makes no sense when I have a messy table! But I am not OCD in the way of doing things like switching lights on and off repeatedly.
@4fold Jason Momoa is the biggest name here, surprised you don't know of him - Aquaman, Stargate Atlantis, Game of Thrones, Minecraft (movie), Justice League..
Hollow Knight should have been a game I like, I enjoyed all Shantae titles, Chasm, some castlevanias, bloodstained.. but I'm like @puppetmaster and just didn't like the art style. I didn't like how the game played either for that matter.
But it's always good to see people get excited for an indie title. Just a shame I can't get excited alongside everyone!
@Kraven I'm wondering if it's some kind of OCD thing, like how I have to have my white spine ps4/5 games separate to the others on the shelfs. But I'm not massively ocd, and with trophies I don't even think about them until I have nearly finished a game to see if the plat is doable because I used to let them dictate how I'd play a game and even take some of the fun away.
Psychonaughts 2 I played on xbox back when I had one. I lost interest in it but got quite far, so I don't know if I'll want to play it again. Maybe..
Stardew - I have played it for hundreds of hours with my gf, on PS4 and with mods on PC, and like others said, it's a bit lame because it's often on sale for what, £5.99 or thereabouts? Not to mention it's really really old.
Viewfinder - Not familiar with it but I like the odd chill cosy game.
Been playing it for about half an hour, while I can! It's okay, I'm not big into open world racing games but it's not bad for a game I've never heard of.
MGS3 was my least favourite out of the first three games, but I'm still interested in playing the remake. I hope they remake the first game, I played that game to death on PS1, unlocking everything possible!
I had the special forces Jax game back when it came out and thought it was extremely mediocre back then so I imagine I'll find it to be a steaming turd by today's standards, but I never had the misfortune to play the sub zero game..
I'm not all that enthusiastic about He-Man even if I did see it as a kid, but bitmap bureau made my favourite beat em up Final Vendetta so this is a day one purchase for me!
Resi 2 and 3 are better titles to me than the twisted metal games, which I found to be very unplayable now, even if I loved them back in the PS1 days, whereas I imagine even with tank controls the Resi games have probably held up somewhat better.
@nessisonett There's absolutely no logical reason I should enjoy Euro Truck Simulator on PC yet I did! I liked that I could integrate my mp3s into the radio station iirc?
@RiverGenie A fair point, but then I have to ask why Pushsquare give the answer as "it's a crap selection" which makes it sound like someone is saying the games are bad. It should read as something like "None of them are any good for me", no?

This addition makes me more persuaded to get the game sooner than later. Maybe there might be a black Friday deal on it soon.

Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2025 Announced
It's a very weak month on Extra for me:
Grand Theft Auto V - I already own it

Insurgency: Sandstorm - no single player campaign? No thanks.
Thank Goodness You're Here! - Sweet, it was in my wishlist!
