Beeeee-AHH-eer

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

Killzone, Resistance, MAG and maybe Uncharted (co-op missions, events and new stories)

Terrible idea. Everyone should be treated equally for support.

Higher levels should come with better rewards, not allowing someone to skip the queue for support.

It has knocked my trophy list down to 98%. lol. Just one new trophy to unlock and all we have to do is complete all tombs

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

Absolutely! Parkour is a big part that made the characters fun to play and to feel more like a really cool assassin

It's an odd choice indeed. But I heard stranger things

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

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

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.

@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

@Gladio We will have to wait and see. But to me that's how it looks to be heading this generation. Doing it slowly so we adjust to it and accept it later

The physical box of Dawn of Ragnarok is a code in the box.

The official Assassin's Creed Twitter account posted the picture of the collectors edition for Mirage and it says "Exclusive Steelbook [no game disc included]". I don't see any mention on the UK site about the lack of disc though so it might be a US thing.

It's been pointed by someone on Twitter that Just Dance 2023 is a code in the box. And then there is Sony recently did Horizon Forbidden West collectors edition and now doing God of War collectors edition with a code in the box. So who knows what will happen

Still playing it at 270 hours. Currently doing the missions in Dawn of Ragnarok. Been so on and off with the game since launch but the way I played it was went after every artifact, wealth and mysteries first taking one place at a time to avoid a trophy being locked out incase of bugs. That part was so dull. But eventually I cleared the whole map which left me open to playing the main story in one go. Repeated that for Ireland, Paris and Svartalfheim.

Taking breaks can help a lot to prevent burnout. Once all the collectibles are out of the way, it meant that the story could be enjoyed properly.

I'm ready to end it with that last chapter. Need a break after this and get back to my backlog

@Gladio I could be wrong but it sounds to me it's just a hub that you go into and then play any game that's on it from one place.

I'm betting physical buyers may have to consider getting the games digital going forward (unless it's forced that way) or we would have a different experience having to keep putting the disc in for the game to boot up.

@UltimateOtaku91 Should think about calling it new gen if you're not ready for current gen.

Personally I considered the PS5 new gen from the first year of launch but now consider it current gen. Both PS4 and PS5 being current gens but I prefer to give the word to PS5 now as PS4 fades out. At the moment I call the PS5 new gen and PS4 last gen so neither get current

The comparision I make between this and GoT is the gameplay. GoT has taken the gameplay a good leap forward while AC remains the same while taking baby steps forward. If Sucker Punch was to make a Viking game then I'd make a comparison with Valhalla for the same thing.

Still looking forward to playing them all anyway. I just hope Red is like the main games. The art style in that video makes it seem a bit more like Chronicles

Day 1 for me! So excited for it already. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay but I know rightly I'll be getting for launch

I don't really care anymore. Both sides are looking out for their own interest. Doesn't matter what we want or think. They do what they gotta do to make themselves the most profit

Not a fan of either side buying up big publishers like this. Studios I'm fine with but not publishers that should be growing themselves. It also means that MS doesn't need to try taking risks anymore like they used to and I don't want to see that happening as i've enjoyed some of their work. Only reason why MS isn't paying for third party is because they don't see their investments back like Sony does. And with Sony being in the lead, MS would have to pay even more to secure a deal. Sony will always keep pushing forward putting in the work to try new things. MS will just rely on their usual games + Bethesda and Activsion to do everything. They have so many great ips that will never see a sequel

Haven't played the last few CoDs and the price certainly puts me off. The older games I used to have a great time playing with friends. Over the years more of them started getting on with life that very few even plays or have time to join at the same time. We had some rare days that a few of us jumped on but a lot moved on years ago. If anything this pretty much kills it off for us entirely.

I mainly just go for the campaign now as i don't have the time to sink into multiplayer. Multiplayer is already ruined thanks to Warzone now. And £70 is far too much for the campaign. I also can't bring myself to support MS for buying up the publishers as it feels like i'd be supporting them to do more. So I think I'd just play the campaign when I have GP and then be done with the game. No more paying for it. That's really the only money they see of me as I never pay for the battle pass or mtx but I know my friends do or at least used to. Without the group, they may move on too as they don't have the money or time for another console. I'll be putting my money towards a different game instead.

It's giving the vibes that we either choose Captain America or Black Panther. The scratches on Captains shield and then that ending sceen looks like they are enemies. 2 vs 2 game maybe

I really liked her work with Uncharted. Just saying out loud but if she ever decided to go back to Sony, maybe Sony should consider letting her take charge of Uncharted and have her own studio to work on that while ND works on TLoU and new ips. lol

I give it a 10/10 because the first game is one of my all time favourite.

I don't factor the price into the review score. The price changes over time but the game remains the same. And someday the price will drop a lot. It's good for reviews to mention the price and if the reviewer feels it's worth the launch price or mention what their biting point is or how much they think it is worth. I just don't think it should have any effect to the score itself unless they plan to update those reviews later down the road. If the price has any effect towards the score, then it's like saying only free games or day 1 Plus/GamePass games are worthy of receiving a 10/10

I'm looking forward to seeing it one day. But I hope they learnt their lessons after Cyberpunk. Hope consumers have learnt their lessons too and not rush to pre-order. Wait until there the console gameplay videos & reviews are out at the least.

I'm sure they will do a good job as they have plenty of experiences with Witcher games before so it should have a smoother development than Cyberpunk which was brand new. But they shouldn't let that Witcher 3 success get to their heads as if they are invincible and just focus on making a great working game. Repair the damage Cyberpunk has caused and don't be showing it off too early either or they will see angry fans. Delays should be expected too

I'm long due another playthrough but I'd like to play it when the next Netflix TV season comes

i can't wait! I understand why they will release the game for PS4, especially as it started as an DLC for Valhalla. But I hope this and the AC1 remake are the last two that are being released for the platform.

It's time to move on after those. While Assassin's Creed Infinity is taking the live service approach, it's going to need to keep pushing forward without the PS4 holding it back. It wouldn't shock me if they released a PS4 version for a cash grab and then very quick to be left behind while PS5 moves on with future expansions, etc. Better to just let the PS4 version go and focus on PS5

@Futureshark I like to think that is why they have been showing each AC backwards in their streams every week. It should be wrapping up with AC1 this week so what better day to announce it.

I'm looking forward to seeing them all. Just Japan I'm not all that interested in. It's up to them to blow me away. Only way I think Japan will work is that the Samurai are the templars. It needs to be different to GoT or it's going to feel like a big step backwards from it

Looking forward to seeing what they do next. Love seeing new IP from them. While I want to see ND creating new ip each generation, another part of me wishes to see more Uncharted too. If ND doesn't have the time to make any more then maybe Sony should think about starting up a little Naughty Dog Jr studio to keep Uncharted going.

@Rob3008 Because the guy on Twitter mentioned it.

Don't think it's meant as an actual comparison which game sold better but more of pointing out how well it sold so far and half of Saints Row is the answer

It's a fine month. Will have a digital version of Need for Speed Heat and Watch Dogs 2. I'm not a big Bethesda fan so I didn't want to buy Deathloop. Was willing to play it if it came to Plus so will see what it's like.

Looking forward to playing Toy Story 3 and try the Sly cooper games out but I'd have a better experience of it if I just play them on the PS3 instead. Might give Syphon Filter 2 a go if I can get round to playing the first

10/15! Just a few there I don't know

Nice to see Dragon Ball Z Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi being mentioned. Would love to see a collection of them again. Really enjoyed the collection for Budokai as it brought back good memories but I'd love to see one for Budokai Tenkaichi and bring them all to PS4.

@KidBoruto That would be nice. I don't think they would do it though. Quidditch would be something they would put in the story as a tutorial and then allow us to freely go to games throughout the game.

The game already looks impressive for their first so I think they will just add it to a sequel someday to make it even better. They probably just don't have the time to add everything but a sequel would be easier to develop for now that they have most of the asset created

That's disgusting. I've had collectors edition arriving a bit beaten before so I try to pick the retailer wisely. Some send things like that in a jiffy bag or an envelope. Absolute stupid.

I stick to retailers that put them into boxes but even those arrive beaten... Sometimes i wonder if they are playing football with the parcels... They are more likely to be in safe condition than the other options though.

There must be something going on with the postage since earlyish PS4 days. All my physical games used to arrive with the disc firmly in place. At some point during the PS4 life, every single box arrives with the disc floppping around no matter who I buy from.

Still playing through Assassin's Creed Valhalla trying to get that finished. But also playing Everybody's Golf from PS+ Premium

@UltimateOtaku91 I don't think Ubisoft is a great choice. Some of Sony's games already share a lot in common to Assassin's Creed but far more polished like GoT for example.

The best buy for them is to pick someone that makes something different. Since MS is about to own the most popular shooter, Sony would be better off aiming at the most popular of another genre instead.

EA isn't bad to have popular shooters of their own but won't get CoD numbers and Dragon Age could complete against Elder Scrolls. Imo they should snatch themselves up the most popular JRPGs

Bought PS3 and PS4 versions at launch. One of my favourite games of that generation. But I can't bring myself to be paying the current price, especially after getting the last two versions for around the £30-£35 range. Will pick it up someday when it reaches my biting point

@ApostateMage That would be for the consumers. Sony however would be the first gif. lol
