Not really surprising seeing this regarding fan boys. You’d think that anyone gaming on either consoles will have games to play that they wouldn’t have time to bother posting fake reviews. I’ve been playing for a few hours now-and so far it’s the best game that I’ve played on the ps5 & imo game of the year. Phenomenal looking game-only minor point was that the game was made to run on PS4. Would have been nice to see a horizon game made only for ps5.
Will be playing Horizon Forbidden West, finally got through Dying Light 2-which I found was ok,but imo the 1st game was far better. Onto Forbidden West
I loved playing Valhalla. I never got into the earlier creed games-but with origins, odyssey & Valhalla-I’m completely hooked on them. I also enjoy traveling through the worlds that these games have & am blown away by the beauty of them. Add in the dlc was adds an phenomenal amount of content to the base game also.
This was my most anticipated game-especially after how much I loved the 1st game. I would give Dying Light 2 a 7/10. The game play is great, but everything outside of that I found to be boring. The story doesn’t do anything for me & the characters in the game, the less said about them the better. Still only about 15 hours in. Also not a fan of the no guns in this game. Finding guns in the original Dying light game was so much fun & tipped the balance of taking on the volatiles at night. But yeah a 7/10 for me.
Was supposed to be playing Dying Light 2, it’s sitting on the shelf waiting, but I am hooked on Guardians Of The Galaxy. A brilliant game so far, with an excellent soundtrack. Dying light 2 was my most anticipated game for a while, but the story, gameplay & absolutely brilliant banter with the Guardians are so great-I just cannot stop playing it. Also playing on Ps5, it’s also a stunning looking game.
@PenguinL I get this with Valhalla a lot. I have the PS4 version, it’s downloads the ps5 version, but the ps5 downloads them both & also both updates. Been doing my head in, so for that reason, even though the ps5 forbidden west is more expensive then the PS4 version- I’ll always ends up getting the ps5 version.
It is a lot of money that Sony put down. But as sony are looking at multiplayer games now-I think bungie bring in a lot of money from destiny. So any new multiplayer games that bungie make in the future -will bring in a lot of money for Sony- from which Sony have no track record in really. So short term it’s seems a lot, long term is where it will be beneficial for Sony.
Nice review, good score also. For the negatives I was expecting that. The 1st game characters were boring & story was so so. However, the game looks great to play & i’m all in for that. Thanks for the review Liam👍🏻
@Amnesiac I love playing Valhalla, I coudnt get into previous ac games. But since playing origins-I’m hooked on them. If you enjoy them, they represent fantastic value with all the dlc/content you get with the games
Good news, hopefully all the problems will be sorted out for the ps5 release. I actually brought the game from Argos a while ago for £10. Been waiting for the ps5 update. Hopefully it’ll be out after march/April -with dying light 2 & forbidden west out soon,I won’t even look at my cyberpunk copy till I’ve completed them 2 games.
Both are great games, funny seeing the usual interactive movies comments. It’s exactly the same stuff I used to see on purexbox. Loads of people moaning that Sony only make interactive movies, but are also the same people getting the magic sock out for flight simulator. Anyways brilliant games & will be fun playing in 60fps.
Always interested in new games from new studios, even tho it’s multiplayer games-will still keep an eye on them. Considering the Activision buyout. I’m hoping that we’ll start seeing more new shooters games , imo cod is only relevant in sales-the games have been mediocre for a very long time. Will also be interesting to see how ea handles battlefield going forwards. If cod stops being on Ps5 in the future-maybe that’ll give ea a kick in the ass to sort battlefield out properly.
Really interested to see what they make. Microsoft gobbling up Activision -guarantees the same ol games really cod etc. Would have been nice to see Microsoft invest all that cash into opening new studios & allowing them proper freedom to make games. This deal & the others Sony have made really intrigue me.
@hi_drnick I’ve noticed a lot more people doing this. If there intent is genuine to tell people that it’s in game pass then that’s fine. If people are doing it just to be idiots, may I suggest calling them GamePassholes?😀
@JJ2 lol. Yeah I use to post on there but found it too toxic. Also not a fan of certain articles, but whenever phil articles came up, most people would act like it’s the 2nd comming. Don’t get me wrong, a few people on there were cool-but I just couldn’t bother with the phil groupie gang.
@mucc absolutely true. Personally I cannot stand the guy. Also was a reason why I don’t go on purexbox. Anytime phil talks & there’s an article about it. It just ends up being magic sock time for a lot of the posters on there
@Col_McCafferty imo last of us 2 is the best game Sony have ever made. Currently not really playing anything new. With dying light 2 and forbidden west out in a few weeks-I’d rather not start playing a new game. So at the moment I’m just cleaning up side quests on Valhalla.
Back compatibility would be great. Sony has so many gems through the years, would be nice to play them again. For me I use my one s more to play 360 games. It may not be high on the list for many people-but for nostalgic reasons it would be sweet for Sony to have their own.
@Channel42 playing through the night was also terrifying & fun. As you’ve got the platinum edition- may I also add that the extra dlc is also brilliant-the following is so much fun. I’m also eagerly awaiting for dying light 2.
Out of the list. Deathloop is the only one that I hav’nt played. The art style, gameplay loop doesn’t do anything for me, so that’s a game I won’t be playing. Far cry 6, I felt was a let down. The characters were boring & I wasn’t a fan of the story. Gameplay was fun tho & traversing the game was nice aswell. Back 4 blood did nothing either for me- so I ended up playing more left 4 dead instead. Vanguard campaign was ok, nothing special-looked amazing tho. Fps have been poor for me this year. My biggest letdown was halo infinite-imo terrible game.
@F1at8mot0 the only reason that I completed it was because I brought it. My feelings were the same as yours. After playiing the game flelt flat to me-like the hook wasn’t there to keep me interested in it. Again, gameplay is fun, but just found the game boring. I’m currently replaying odst, which is a amazing. On another note, I’m further into outriders- enjoying it so far. Like a cross between the division & gears of war. Controls could do with being more smoother- but then gears of war had perfect controls.
@Fiendish-Beaver thanks also for your response. Gameplay wise I can see why your experiences are different to mines.when I play games it’s very rare that I play them twice. But as I found the game not very good, normal mode was a chore for me-I can’t see me replaying it again never mind on a harder difficulty. It’s weird as I actually prefer playing 4 & 5 over infinite. But for me anyway-the game as a whole just didn’t click for me.
@Fiendish-Beaver hello, I played on normal. I’m a fan of the previous halo games. Just infinite I felt like it was a chore to play. Again, gameplay was fun-but outside of that the game just felt way too boring for me. Traversing the world was boring & felt pointless-the world felt empty. For me, there was never a need to want to wander the world- just getting to missions as quick as I can. Also them terrible power cell missions were way longer then should be & if they were taken-it would’ve been the shortest halo game. Personally I just found the missions very stale & basic. Variety in missions would have been nice & would have freshened the game up for me. It’s a shame cause I was expecting something great after seeing all the positive reviews. I’ll just stick to playing the master chief collection.
Finally finished halo infinite- which imo is terrible. Couldn’t get into the story, the open world was repetitive & it got to the point where there was nothing really to do outside of the main missions. Boring missions of finding power cells, operate machinery then repeat. No variety in missions. For me I found it very boring & I'm surprised on how highly it got reviewed. If this is what’s the future of halo games-then I’m def out. Infinite just felt like a arena game- constant wave of enemies, similar to doom. But I did enjoy the gameplay side of it-but playing through infinite- dunno. Just felt really bored & I ended up just skipping the story cutscenes, just so that I could complete the game faster. Anyways, currently playing outriders-which ain’t that bad. Also watched the new spidey film which was bloody excellent.
Playing halo infinite-not really enjoying the game-it’s ok so far. It kinda reminds me of doom-where your just moved to places & have a ridiculous amount of enemies constantly turning up. I’ve also had a lot of missions not continuing as I have cleared out areas & more enemies keep turning up-not letting me progress on missions.
Completed vanguard. Enjoyed the campaign-could have def been longer tho. As I also completed far cry 6, will mostly spend time clearing the maps & side quests. I still prefer far cry 5 to far cry 6. The story & characters of 6 was a let down from 5. Fun game to play.
@NateGoesLive no worrys. I’m shocked that it’s priced at £34.99. Ridiculous pricing. It’s only because it has the name cobra Kai. Best to wait, hopefully you can get it on a good price on sale👍🏻
@NateGoesLive it’s not bad, but then it’s not great either😀I would say if your a fan of the show(which I am) you’ll like it, mostly. Character movements are abit stiff, graphics are cool, sound is good, they have a few of the actors doing the voices for their characters in the game. I only got it cause I managed to pick it up from Argos for £10. For that I’m glad that I payed that much for it, anything more I prob wouldn’t. As long as your not expecting it to play like streets of rage 4, it’s ok to play. Also there’s about 28 missions on it. Not sure if I’d be bothered to play it all the way through, but as I’m waiting for the new cod to come out-I don’t want to start playing a long game now. I’m not sure how much it is on the ps store. But if it’s over £15, I’d wait till the price drops mate.
Just completed far cry 6. Even tho I enjoyed it alot- I actually preferred far cry 5. The story for 6 didn’t really have me interested in it. Even tho 5 has a weird story, I actually preferred that. Very fun game to play tho. Will be playing some more cobra Kai, whilst waiting for the new cod game to come out.
Price is steep for what your getting,but it’s a def buy for me. I played gta 3, for some reason I completely skipped vice city & loved San Andreas. So to play this on Ps5 60fps & 4k will be great for me. Quality of life updates are sweet also. I remember not being keen of the controls & certain mission stupidness.
