Wasn't fully set on buying day 1 and wanted a good deal later down the road with a bigger selection of games. But that price just made that even easier.
Loved every moment of it! Ran really well on my PS5. Didn't notice anything bad to ruin my enjoyment. Looking forward to doing another playthrough but can't decide to do it now before I get swamped with other games or wait for another patch to play it at it's best.
I really enjoy taking pictures in the games I enjoy the most. Just wish I was good at it and that my photos didn't look bad when I put them onto the laptop. They always end up looking darker and less attractive compared to the TV.
i think we will see a third game but I'd rather see a new IP and a new Uncharted. I enjoyed Part 2 but nowhere close to the same level as Part 1. So I think Part 3 will only drop lower than Part 2. It's not the same without Joel.
It could be possible to see Abby again. Perhaps in the next game it could see Ellie and Abby having to work together to survive
I always pick the 60fps option when it's available. I don't get put off with 30fps so it doesn't stop me from buying or enjoying a game. I do feel it's the generation that we need our gameplay to feel improved so developers should try to at least get 60fps in. Give us the option for better performance, resolution or balanced.
Finished it. Loved the game so much! One of my top favourite games of the year. I'm divided about future games. On one hand I want another so much and on the other I don't want the games to become stale.
I think I might take another couple games but let enough time pass by so that it doesn't end up feeling stale
I'm too early into the game to have a say about any further sequels but at the moment in my mind I'd like to see another. Even if it's to end as a trilogy. A part of me doesn't want to end from here as I love the first game and so far enjoying the sequel. The other part doesn't want it to be milked to death but someday in the future I'd really like to play the game again at their best.
The first game has a great story and it's something they should consider making into a series/movie to reach a bigger audience that don't play games
I was expecting it to be between the £150 - £180 range but for £210 I'm so very far out. Wasn't going to buy it had it been £150 but instead would have waited for a sale.
Can't wait! I'm already sold for day 1 and part of me doesn't want to watch so I could enjoy it properly when it launches. But i don't think I have the willpower to look away
So far I'm not really liking it. The collectibles are cool and I like the idea of those. But one thing that puts me off is that you see one you like, or want to collect them all, then it pushes us to boot up something we don't want. If I'm not earning coins for doing those too, then what's the point collecting them. They don't feel rewarding
The coins is the main problem for physial buyers as we don't get any. Therefore at the moment Nintendo is way ahead with a better system. Good for digital buyers, useless for physical.
If they want to give gamers a choice, perhaps they should allow PS Plus onto Xbox.
Having Game Pass on PlayStation would mean Xbox will have to leave the console business and just become the new SEGA with streaming. Makes no sense adding Game Pass to PlayStation when they won't allow PSN or Plus onto Xbox.
Gamers do have a choice. They just sound a bit bitter like they want to dip into the PlayStations playerbase that didn't care enough to buy an Xbox for their service
Just a thought but I wonder if the poor attempt with the Premium could be with people stacking PS Now before the new tiers launched. Maybe they need those people to pay the full price and not the cheaper option. So until some or most of those expire, we may not see much of an improvement.
There is also the 50% off in the UK last year they could be waiting to expire too. Should be ending either this month or November.
I was busy playing the PS4 lately but yesterday I noticed the trophies being different on the PS5. Accidentally came across it being avilable while I was playing a game and could reveal all the hidden ones with toggle. No more pushing square in each individual list. Such a handy feature!
I'm not buying it. MAG is a game that was ahead of time. Nowdays we have games with big player counts, massive maps and have cross-play. If anything should have a remake for being ahead of time then that would be one of them.
Would really love to jump back in but after hearing a rumour that there is a possibility of a Persona 3 remake, it put me off for the meantime until we see what happens with that. Knowing Atlus, it could happen and it makes me wonder could Persona 4 end up having one too after that.
Don't like that the games are digital only so holding off while I wait to see what's happening with the P3 Remake means I'd also be waiting to see if they do a physical version of those two. And if not, then someday I'd get them cheap.
The way they handled Persona 5 is another reason why I'm holding off too. First they did a Persona 5 then a Royal soon after on the same console and then a PS5 version without an upgrade or save transfer. They have put me off day 1 launches and pushed me into the wait a bit longer path instead.
I've been playing a bit of it again on the PS5 recently and thought to myself it still looks amazing and feels great to play even after HFW so it's really not needed at all.
Love the series but the remake/remaster isn't for me. There are plenty of other IPs I'd have prefered to see instead but more importantly new games.
I get that they want to do it for the TV series but it feels like it's just filler while they work on other games. That they can't get the other games finished soon enough to keep releasing something new. I remember during the PS4 days they released games like almost every month that kept me spoilt with choices so we were eating good back then.
Now it's like they are leaving us hungry so that makes it tempting to buy the remake/remaster when the TV series comes out but on the other hand I want something new and if i don't get anything new to play then it only sends me to their competitors to fill that void. That is if there isn't enough third party games I'm interested in (but I do have a big backlog to work on so I'm good!)
Maybe it was a mistake to make a PS5. Probably should go into a new generation the phone way like Microsoft did with Xbox. So they should have made a PS4 Super Pro or a PS4 Pro 2. PS5 already feels like it's made for a new gen which hasn't properly started yet. So it feels like we are just playing games on it like it's still part of the PS4 generation only that it looks different
I'm looking the PS5 to be a brand new traditional gen with new games made for it that last gen can't run. But the way things are going, the PS5 is basicially just another PS4 that complicated things like BC, save transfers, which version of the game we play, etc.
I don't mind them making games for the PS4, especially if it's multiplayer but when it comes to single player games, I don't like that the PS4 will hold back the PS5
I always wanted a Bloodborne series! Maybe I'm in the minority but I'd love a live action one. An animated one would be welcome too but a live action might pull us into the atmosphere better while animated might come off as a cheap and poorer version of the game. With the right actor and great cgi, it coud look amazing and pull us in. If a live action worked out then it could make a perfectly good studio tour for tourist to visit and feel inside that world too..
I'm interested in some co-op but I'd like it if they make it for a third game. Won't be buying the remake/remaster if true.
If this ends up true then I think I might start cutting back on buying Sony's games since they love remastering and remaking. I want new stuff, not repeats of what I've already played.
Would love to have more! Such a great game and it remains as my GoTY so far until God of War comes.
I'm in mixed minds which game I prefer between this and HZD. The gameplay, open world, flying, more monsters are all so much better in this one. But I prefer the story from HZD and it feels a bit less bloated so it's hard to say which one has the better size. Big open world can be a lot of fun to explore but sometimes smaller is better, especially when you've already done the exploring and want a simplier play.
It took me ages to find better weapons for this game so I felt HZD did it better and more simple with that. Taking down the Thunderjaw was more satisfying in HZD too as HFW world is so big with a lot of shelter.
Then there is the cauldrons, in HFW, there was nothing in the game that was pushing me towards doing those. I forgot about them while I was off doing side missions making them my priority. Eventually I realised I should be doing the cauldrons so it wasn't until near the end of the game I started those. Would have been so much better to have done them sooner.
Both have good points and bad points that makes one better than the other. But this is a great sequel and I want more!
Pretty good month but none of them I'm excited to play. Might download Hot Wheels Unleashed as I enjoyed the trial of it. But it's not a game that would take away from other games that I'm looking to playing
Never had any faith in it. Good time for Sony and Nintendo to either partner up with Google or acquire the tech for themselves. Nintendo could use it more to keep up with newer games but Sony could have better streaming and expand it
I really enjoyed the show, especially season 2 but there are two things in it that I didn't like at all which makes me favour season 1 more. One of them is about Eskel that has been commonly talked about. Prefer not to mention the other reason as it would be a spoiler for anyone that didn't watch yet.
Good news to keep them seperate. Hated the way they handled the first. They deleted parts of the campaign to force Warzone updates in. And it really sucks that the game had so many updates when I had no interest in Warzone so the game was eating up my space and broke the campaign for nothing.
They should do something about that cross-play too. Really pushing for it to be enabled. I have no interest in using cross-play at all but why do they need to keeping doing my head in with reminders so often? The servers also seems to be struggling to get games running (probably on purpose) to push us to switch it on.
Before i consider playing this game someday, I'd like to see the changes they make. See what they do about Cross-play (so far not looking good in the beta) and if they can fix MW2019 so that the campaign can go back to how it was before they broke it
I like the direction part 2 went into so it was a pretty good sequel. It stood out different to other games. But I don't like that it's a game that just leads to hating this person and that person. At first I had this strong hate for Abby and then after we play as her, I was seeing this really bad side to Ellie that I hated her. Can't forgive Abby for Joel and can't forgive Ellie for the lives she took including the dog. lol
Part 2 has much better gameplay but I feel that story belongs with movies/series. Part 1 wins as one of the greatest game of the generation for me. Not playing as Joel in Part 2 was a downer and it changes things up too much for a game. Part 2 went quite serious in a realistic way while I wanted more of Part 1 with Joel and Ellie together. I get that Joel got what he deserved after the end of Part 1 but this is a game and for a game I just don't care about what he did. Movies or series would be a different story but not for a game. For a sequel game I wanted more with him.
I wouldn't mind having a Part 3 someday. But Part 1 will always be my favourite and my go to game. Part 2 is just to get the full story but not a game I'd be rushing back to. Can't see myself pre-ordering Part 3 though after seeing how Part 2 goes off into it's own direction so I may wait for a price drop. Will only be good for the story closure
I need that plushie! Poster looks amazing too but I've nowhere to put it
I only became a Sly Cooper fan during the PS3 days when they made the collection. Was more of a Ratchet and Clank fan throughout PS2 so I didn't know of Jak and Daxter until PS3 either. Ended up loving them all, especially Sly.
Would really love to see that collection again for PS4. Streaming is terrible with my internet so the PS3 and Vita is the only way I can play them. Really want to see them on PS4&5 consoles.
@Mikey856 I would advise going after the collectibles around the whole map first. It's very boring and sucks the fun out of the game but you don't want to put 200+ hours into it only for the game to hit a bug and you realise you can't go back. It's unlikely to happen but you don't want to be forced to start over.
If you take one area at a time, get all the collectibles and make sure they have counted when completed. Especially the Mysteries! Keep multiple save files too with one of them being reserved for the start of a new area until it's completed. Once you get all the collectibles out of the way, it makes the story more fun. You don't have to do all collectibles at once, I just say it because you will reveal parts of another location and it worried me if some of them collectibes ended up getting bugged out.
Good luck! Took me near 300 hours to finish everything. lol
I'm not sure I want to see Warhawk return. At least not as what it was on the PS3. If they were to bring it back I'd like to see a new one with better gameplay. The flight was my favourite part of the game but the boots on ground was terrible. It did look amazing, just didn't feel that way.
For StarHawk it went the other way, flight was rubbish but boots on ground was amazing.
If they were to bring it back I'd like to see better boots on the ground.
Can't wait to see it! Has me excited at third persion, single player and being led by Olivier Proulx who has experience working on Guardians of the Galaxy. Just hope it doesn't use anything of Anthem. Really enjoyed Iron Man in the SE Avengers game so I hope this standalone version will be so much better
Voted for God of War Ragnarok because that trailer was just sooooo damn good! Loved that moment when Atreus fired the arrow into the sky and the very ending with Thor. Really impressed me
Had God of War not been on it, then I'd have went for Tekken 8 for another impressive trailer that blew me away. It's a hard choice with Hogwarts Legacy, Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade being hard competitors for my favourite trailer
Trailers like that should have been their first and second impression. Getting more interested in it now as we see more. Can't bring myself to buy day 1 with God of War coming out the day after but a good looking steelbook in Europe would be tempting
It was soooo good! Really enjoyed seeing the God of War trailer and the controller. Tried not to watch the trailer so I could enjoy it properly when it releases but I couldn't turn my head away or close my eyes.
Tekken 8, Rise of the ronin, Project Eve, Hogwarts Legacy and Star Wars VR 2 has me excited!
I was expecting the show to be very average but it was better than I thought it would be.
Looking forward to earning some! Won't go out of my way to earn them though. Usuaully I treat Platinum trophies as my little digital collection but this is a great idea for another way
Not expecting anything amazing so I'll catch up in the morning as it's usually not worth sitting up at that time. When they do a show at 10pm or earlier then it's usually better I think
I'm looking forward to it and I always want more Assassin's Creed. The biggest issue I had with the earlier games was that they kept launching every year that it was feeling like CoD. That was dangerous because it caused a lot of burnout that was putting me off and sending me into the 'fed up with the series' direction.
But skipping a year helped a lot. It made me miss the game so that when they launched the next, I was able to appreciate it more. Take too long and it's a downer like waiting for a GTA 6 to happen. They need to keep the game very much the same while trying new things to freshen it up.
The worry I have with Infinity and going all out on AC, is that it could cause that same burnout problem again. It could also lead to having fear of missing out. Like having to buy the dlc/expansions or having to play whatever free missions they add to follow the story properly in the next game to avoid spoilers or missing out on things. We all have other games to play too so may not always be in the mood for that. That can lead to getting fed up with the game. A problem Pokemon Go has these days, it pushes people to take parts in events or complete tasks before certain dates or miss out. It became more of a job than fun.
They have gotten worse for sure. The older E3 days and Gamescom were just the best. Left me thinking about the games days after the reveals. Over time they have become stale and showed us a lot of filler. Showed us too many repeats too.
These recent showcase have far too many things being thrown in that are of no interest for me. Take Ubisoft, shoving all that phone, Netflix and Apple TV down our throats but it's really Assassin's Creed that we showed up for. The AC parts were fine, but the rest of it before that wasn't. Gamescom made no sense adding game awards when there is already a show for that.
I don't think any of them really have much worth showing so they settle for what they have for the sake of having a showcase. They need to create a great playful one. Mix it up too. Don't be shoving phone game after phone game, Netflix games and then Apple TV or Black Adam at Summer game fest or even kojima at Gamescom with nothing to show.
It needs games and lots of it. Needs to be fun and exciting. Not phone after phone, TV then more TV, trailer after trailer without gameplay, bringing on hosts that go on and on with so much chatting (big problem with some of Microsofts shows). We should be seeing all those great games we will be playing, getting excited for them and having the snacks ready to enjoy the show. Don't want to feel like I'm sitting in the cinema watching just ads in bordom.
Such a pity they aren't making a main game for consoles.
I understand it's good for China fans that game on the phone but Assassin's Creed 3 was a console game and AC 3 Liberation was made as a handheld game. So even though China has this phone game, the console could have also had one that also takes place alongside the events of the phone game just like AC3
I'll play it someday but not on day 1. Been looking a pirate game to play on PS that is similar to Sea of Theives. SoT is a great game but none of my friends have it and it's not fun to play solo. This game is like the next best thing. But feels like it's being sent out to fail after development trouble. And now the push to release it over that government agreement with Singapore.
Doesn't help much that the game is releasing on the same day as Sonic or that it's one day before God of War.
I want the game to do well enough to see a sequel or at least be given a second chance and maybe then the developers will have a much better and clear idea how the game can be made better. This is the closest pirate game we have for PS and we may not see another. Xbox and PC already have a great pirate game sorted.

They should do something about that cross-play too. Really pushing for it to be enabled. I have no interest in using cross-play at all but why do they need to keeping doing my head in with reminders so often? The servers also seems to be struggling to get games running (probably on purpose) to push us to switch it on.
Before i consider playing this game someday, I'd like to see the changes they make. See what they do about Cross-play (so far not looking good in the beta) and if they can fix MW2019 so that the campaign can go back to how it was before they broke it
Re: Video: Here's Why The Last of Us: Part 2 Is Better Than Part 1, But It's Nothing Without It
I like the direction part 2 went into so it was a pretty good sequel. It stood out different to other games. But I don't like that it's a game that just leads to hating this person and that person. At first I had this strong hate for Abby and then after we play as her, I was seeing this really bad side to Ellie that I hated her. Can't forgive Abby for Joel and can't forgive Ellie for the lives she took including the dog. lol
Part 2 has much better gameplay but I feel that story belongs with movies/series. Part 1 wins as one of the greatest game of the generation for me. Not playing as Joel in Part 2 was a downer and it changes things up too much for a game. Part 2 went quite serious in a realistic way while I wanted more of Part 1 with Joel and Ellie together. I get that Joel got what he deserved after the end of Part 1 but this is a game and for a game I just don't care about what he did. Movies or series would be a different story but not for a game. For a sequel game I wanted more with him.
I wouldn't mind having a Part 3 someday. But Part 1 will always be my favourite and my go to game. Part 2 is just to get the full story but not a game I'd be rushing back to. Can't see myself pre-ordering Part 3 though after seeing how Part 2 goes off into it's own direction so I may wait for a price drop. Will only be good for the story closure
Re: Sly Cooper Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Some Sweet Swag
I need that plushie! Poster looks amazing too but I've nowhere to put it
I only became a Sly Cooper fan during the PS3 days when they made the collection. Was more of a Ratchet and Clank fan throughout PS2 so I didn't know of Jak and Daxter until PS3 either. Ended up loving them all, especially Sly.
Would really love to see that collection again for PS4. Streaming is terrible with my internet so the PS3 and Vita is the only way I can play them. Really want to see them on PS4&5 consoles.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Teases Next Tombs of the Fallen Update
@Mikey856 I would advise going after the collectibles around the whole map first. It's very boring and sucks the fun out of the game but you don't want to put 200+ hours into it only for the game to hit a bug and you realise you can't go back. It's unlikely to happen but you don't want to be forced to start over.
If you take one area at a time, get all the collectibles and make sure they have counted when completed. Especially the Mysteries! Keep multiple save files too with one of them being reserved for the start of a new area until it's completed. Once you get all the collectibles out of the way, it makes the story more fun. You don't have to do all collectibles at once, I just say it because you will reveal parts of another location and it worried me if some of them collectibes ended up getting bugged out.
Good luck! Took me near 300 hours to finish everything. lol
Re: Soapbox: Bring Back Warhawk on PS5, You Cowards
I'm not sure I want to see Warhawk return. At least not as what it was on the PS3. If they were to bring it back I'd like to see a new one with better gameplay. The flight was my favourite part of the game but the boots on ground was terrible. It did look amazing, just didn't feel that way.
For StarHawk it went the other way, flight was rubbish but boots on ground was amazing.
If they were to bring it back I'd like to see better boots on the ground.
Re: EA Announces Iron Man Game in Development at Motive Studio
Can't wait to see it! Has me excited at third persion, single player and being led by Olivier Proulx who has experience working on Guardians of the Galaxy. Just hope it doesn't use anything of Anthem. Really enjoyed Iron Man in the SE Avengers game so I hope this standalone version will be so much better
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Will Try to Bring Unity's Highly Praised Parkour System Back
Absolutely! Parkour is a big part that made the characters fun to play and to feel more like a really cool assassin
Re: Stranger Things' David Harbour Joins the Cast for Gran Turismo Movie
It's an odd choice indeed. But I heard stranger things
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
Voted for God of War Ragnarok because that trailer was just sooooo damn good! Loved that moment when Atreus fired the arrow into the sky and the very ending with Thor. Really impressed me
Had God of War not been on it, then I'd have went for Tekken 8 for another impressive trailer that blew me away. It's a hard choice with Hogwarts Legacy, Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade being hard competitors for my favourite trailer
Re: Sonic Frontiers Goes Super Sonic in Latest Gameplay Trailer
Trailers like that should have been their first and second impression. Getting more interested in it now as we see more. Can't bring myself to buy day 1 with God of War coming out the day after but a good looking steelbook in Europe would be tempting
Re: Poll: Was Sony's Latest State of Play a Show to Remember?
It was soooo good! Really enjoyed seeing the God of War trailer and the controller. Tried not to watch the trailer so I could enjoy it properly when it releases but I couldn't turn my head away or close my eyes.
Tekken 8, Rise of the ronin, Project Eve, Hogwarts Legacy and Star Wars VR 2 has me excited!
I was expecting the show to be very average but it was better than I thought it would be.
Re: PS Stars' Digital Collectibles Can Be Displayed on Your PSN Profile
Looking forward to earning some! Won't go out of my way to earn them though. Usuaully I treat Platinum trophies as my little digital collection but this is a great idea for another way
Re: Rise of the Ronin Is a New Team Ninja Action Game, PS5 Console Exclusive Set for 2024
Looks amazing! Can't wait to see more
Forget comparing GoT with Ubisofts upcoming AC Japan game. This one looks a lot more like something Ubisoft would have made. lol
Re: Rumour: Lower Your Expectations for Tonight's State of Play
Not expecting anything amazing so I'll catch up in the morning as it's usually not worth sitting up at that time. When they do a show at 10pm or earlier then it's usually better I think
Re: Talking Point: Is Assassin's Creed Moving in the Right Direction?
I'm looking forward to it and I always want more Assassin's Creed. The biggest issue I had with the earlier games was that they kept launching every year that it was feeling like CoD. That was dangerous because it caused a lot of burnout that was putting me off and sending me into the 'fed up with the series' direction.
But skipping a year helped a lot. It made me miss the game so that when they launched the next, I was able to appreciate it more. Take too long and it's a downer like waiting for a GTA 6 to happen. They need to keep the game very much the same while trying new things to freshen it up.
The worry I have with Infinity and going all out on AC, is that it could cause that same burnout problem again. It could also lead to having fear of missing out. Like having to buy the dlc/expansions or having to play whatever free missions they add to follow the story properly in the next game to avoid spoilers or missing out on things. We all have other games to play too so may not always be in the mood for that. That can lead to getting fed up with the game. A problem Pokemon Go has these days, it pushes people to take parts in events or complete tasks before certain dates or miss out. It became more of a job than fun.
Re: Reaction: Publishers Are Getting Worse at Nintendo Direct-Style Livestreams
They have gotten worse for sure. The older E3 days and Gamescom were just the best. Left me thinking about the games days after the reveals. Over time they have become stale and showed us a lot of filler. Showed us too many repeats too.
These recent showcase have far too many things being thrown in that are of no interest for me. Take Ubisoft, shoving all that phone, Netflix and Apple TV down our throats but it's really Assassin's Creed that we showed up for. The AC parts were fine, but the rest of it before that wasn't. Gamescom made no sense adding game awards when there is already a show for that.
I don't think any of them really have much worth showing so they settle for what they have for the sake of having a showcase. They need to create a great playful one. Mix it up too. Don't be shoving phone game after phone game, Netflix games and then Apple TV or Black Adam at Summer game fest or even kojima at Gamescom with nothing to show.
It needs games and lots of it. Needs to be fun and exciting. Not phone after phone, TV then more TV, trailer after trailer without gameplay, bringing on hosts that go on and on with so much chatting (big problem with some of Microsofts shows). We should be seeing all those great games we will be playing, getting excited for them and having the snacks ready to enjoy the show. Don't want to feel like I'm sitting in the cinema watching just ads in bordom.
Re: Assassin's Creed Arrives in Ancient China, But on Smartphones Only
Such a pity they aren't making a main game for consoles.
I understand it's good for China fans that game on the phone but Assassin's Creed 3 was a console game and AC 3 Liberation was made as a handheld game. So even though China has this phone game, the console could have also had one that also takes place alongside the events of the phone game just like AC3
Re: Skull and Bones Shows Us Lots of Exploding Boats in New Gameplay Trailer
I'll play it someday but not on day 1. Been looking a pirate game to play on PS that is similar to Sea of Theives. SoT is a great game but none of my friends have it and it's not fun to play solo. This game is like the next best thing. But feels like it's being sent out to fail after development trouble. And now the push to release it over that government agreement with Singapore.
Doesn't help much that the game is releasing on the same day as Sonic or that it's one day before God of War.
I want the game to do well enough to see a sequel or at least be given a second chance and maybe then the developers will have a much better and clear idea how the game can be made better. This is the closest pirate game we have for PS and we may not see another. Xbox and PC already have a great pirate game sorted.
Re: Assassin's Creed Is Dropping PS4 with Infinity's Red, Hexe, and Beyond
@Grumblevolcano That's true it could be a possibility. Might be better off with digital in that case as everything else would be downlaoded anyway
