@mfleet lol, it's not spoiling anything but just watch the fight on YT. You get a tiny window in which you can attack and hurt the boss. If you miss time it he re-heals. He's got two energy bars and you have to drain them 6 times I think. He also sets a dog on you that you can't kill. At 25 I'd have struggled, at 50 I have more sense than to waste my time trying!
@mfleet I got the deluxe edition for twenty six quid and it's a decent game, still has an annoying bug or two, especially the challenges on Taras Nabard that you can't complete, so no trophy there. The second ancient gods dlc has the worst final boss ever. I watched makas guides on it, tried it once and said never again. Not worth it. So beware if you fancy the dlc. That last boss man, so badly designed.
R&C Rift Apart. Fabulous game and although I have it via game share I think £70 is a lot for the length of the content, albeit high quality. The sound, haptic and visuals are all absolutely top notch and it really bodes well for first party ps5 games with n general.
@get2sammyb thanks Sammy. Surely in the case of receiving nothing but shots like these, you could add a couple from in-game plays? If EA send you review code for their next golf game and there's nothing supplied but pics of golfers, then I'd be a bit annoyed and have expected a sprinkling of in-game course action. It's all well and good when some smart arse says use Google but often there's none doing the rounds on the Internet either because it's a few days before release and none are available.
Lump plus and now together. I have zero interest in films, music or cartoons on my PlayStation or as part of my sub. I have other stuff for that and not enough memory as it is without stuffing sausageroll and Netflix or whatever on my console too.
Unless it has one of those realism mods that PC players can add then it'll still look last gen, just higher res and smoother. Don't care all in all, it's old.
@Lovespuds I only buy off psn, I'm not into collecting boxes that take up space on my admittedly very small triple shelf rack tbf. I'll keep an eye on this though as it looks lovely.
It should all be free, we're paying £70 for an online multiplayer only game! I'm definitely buying it, it looks ace fun and will have lots in it but it should all be free this time imo.
That all stars game could've been something really special and a lot of fun, after expecting as such and then reading reviews and watching videos about it I never even downloaded it.
It wasn't at all what I thought we were getting, which was a mix of Blur, Mario Kart and destruction Derby.
A huge missed opportunity imo.
I've just bought doom eternal deluxe edition for £26 but I can't get past the account creation page. Constant errors.
Nice one bethesda.
Refund applied for.
OMG... This looks so turd. A grenade explodes and there's not even a mark on the ground. The guns look decent but don't fit the style of the rest of the game.

Nothing. Midweek hzd. Weekend drinking rum in the garden and enjoying the weather Saturday Sunday morning fishing for tope off the East Yorkshire coast. Then listening to the open golf on the radio.
@Pusher2021 I loved astros and bought sackboy just after last Christmas but I can't gel with it, there's something about this 'get three stars per level' gameplay that I just don't like.
Just fix the map for one that's actually usable and I'll be able to find where I'm supposed to be going, ta very much. I enjoyed a few hours of the game but can't find where I'm going! Such a poor design choice imo
Liam said he still thinks 'the game isn't very good', but I can't find his post now but he said that yet still gave it a 6. What kind of reviewer gives a decent game 6/10 then goes on to say they think it's not a very good game? Highly bizarre if you ask me.

@eagletrippin OK sarky sod, you'd expect them in an actual review of the game don't you think?
Re: Madden NFL 22 (PS5) - Franchise Finally Gets Some TLC in Improved American Football Sim
Not one single screen shot of any in game action. Bit poor guys imo.

It's not like dreams at all but it's going to be absolutely fantastic nonetheless.

Re: Sony 'Closely Monitoring' Nintendo Switch OLED as Industry May Look to Increase Prices
@RubyCarbuncle well then it's pretty obvious that you ain't the target audience dude/dudess
Re: Sony 'Closely Monitoring' Nintendo Switch OLED as Industry May Look to Increase Prices
@Grumblevolcano I thought for a minute they were thinking of a ps5 portable.
Re: Sony 'Closely Monitoring' Nintendo Switch OLED as Industry May Look to Increase Prices
I don't understand this headline.
Sony had a perfectly good handheld and didn't support it properly.
So what's the craic here then?
Re: Away: The Survival Series Is a Playable Nature Documentary Coming to PS5, PS4 Soon
Might be a decent ps plus game because of the nature (no pun intended) of the game.
It'd get to more kids as a result.
