Agree with everybody above, much prefer EA PGA tour, but EA don't seem to care about the franchise... so many problems with the last game that would be such easy fixes (like balls running through the rough like it was the fairway), but EA never bothered...
Just got the platinum on Astro Bot. A truly wondrous 22 or so hours of fun that was! I thought it wasn't quite up to Mario Galaxy levels initially, but by the end, it may have won me over, it's certainly 'Nintendo good'. Great Master Challenge almost a little disappointing, expected tougher (still took a solid 30 mins though). It never got frustrating, deaths never felt cheap... I think I was well prepared for these challenge levels by doing the escape levels in the two Ori games last year!!
Going to leave the Xmas level and the time trials for a little while so I still have something Astro Bot to play next week
I owned all 4 home Sega consoles growing up, and have a lot of love for their old arcade and console games. But have given up hoping for them to EVER release what I want, which is compilations of their arcade games, and compilations of something other than Sonic or Mega Drive games. IF this service had master system, Saturn and Dreamcast games, plus a load of their arcade games (at the minimum, the games included on the Astro City mini console), then much as I hate subscription services, I'd give it a go... but let me BUY the games!
Hoping to finish off FFVII remake this weekend, amongst fitting in the CFB playoff games... really looking forward to playing God of War for the first time between Xmas and NY
Spiderman and Miles Morales both discounted, but waiting for the MM Ultimate Edition to go back on sale, as is almost £20 cheaper than buying the two games separately!
It seems currently like IP that have previously existed on other consoles like DOOM, Outer Worlds, etc are going to PS5, but new IP like Starfield and Avowed are not.
good god no. even if it was on at a reasonable time (UK), not a chance. I hate award shows for anything, especially art or artistic fields... will check in over breakfast tomorrow for the 5-10 mins of new trailers / info
Elden Ring DLC will probably win... makes no sense to me, all these from soft games look the same boring, masochistic grind-fests to me, but I seem to be in the minority (putting it lightly!)
Love to see Astro Bot win, as I think games should prioritise FUN
FYI - the official WD Black SSD memory expansions (apart from the 8TB) are not reduced at all on Amazon, and none of the prices, with or without discounts, match those listed by you! (UK)
If anybody is after a 2TB, they are £25 cheaper at Argos, and other places
I'm convinced there is a single frame of a scream horror mask near the start of this but can't pause it at the right time to confirm! around the 18-19 seconds mark, there is an accompanying noise too...
"Cars obtained by completing 'My First Gran Turismo' can be unlocked in 'Gran Turismo 7' if the same account for PlayStation™Network is used with both games."
There is an incredibly honest, interesting documentary on the birth of the Xbox, really worth a watch. Is there anything similar that covers this era of Playstation, as it sounds like it would be a good watch!
@Markatron84 haha, yep, getting between a turret and the bug swarm is friendly fire 101, and led to more than a few headset disagreements (alcohol may also be partly to blame!)
not had a PS5 that long, moved over from Xbox and this game was a big reason for that. 3 of us have been playing this non stop all week, it's so much fun, and a really positive, healthy vibe playing with randoms too, probably a benefit of it NOT being free to play...
I love the Horizon games, and have FH 2, 3, 4 and 5 on my xbox. FH4 the best by far for me, but FH5 is great. Not sure I'd double dip on PS5, but it's a superb game series
I don't really like these games much, but it sucks for xbox fans who won't get to play Elden Ring 2, etc! (I don't have a horse in that race as own all the consoles)

Re: Feature: 18 PS5 Predictions for 2025
it would be great to have Gears and Halo and Forza on PS5 this year... and Fable. I could mothball my XSX then!
Re: The House of the Dead 2 Remake Lives! Launches This Spring 2025
Had this on my dreamcast back in the day, with a light gun. Without the gun, it's absolutely pointless, for me anyway.
Re: PS5 Tipped to Top Switch 2 Sales in the US This Year
New Sega console coming in 2025 will outsell all competitors, even bread. Yes, it will outsell bread. Anybody can post this rubbish.
Re: Industry Journalist Says Xbox Game Pass Does Increase Premium Sales, But Mainly on PS5
@Northern_munkey gamepass is £180 a year in the UK, I think. It's hardly 'nothing'
that aside, I agree though
Re: PS5 Tipped to Top Switch 2 Sales in the US This Year
@djlard Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, Returnal, Helldivers 2, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart... Are you serious??
Oh, these aren't 'worthy' to you, got it!
Re: Random: The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Is Now as Old as Skyrim Was Back Then
yeah, I have zero faith in the company anymore, they have been left behind by their peers
Re: How Well Do You Know Uncharted?
@wildcat_kickz ah excellent, I LOVE all those films
Re: How Well Do You Know Uncharted?
top 2 on the quiz leaderboard surely googled the answers? 8 and 14 minutes to finish? hahaha
Re: How Well Do You Know Uncharted?
Never played an Uncharted game, but recent PS5 owner and will be jumping into the first 3 games once I finish God of War
Excited!

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' 20 Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2025
Hoping Fable makes it across, but that aside, I can get on board with this top 5
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Astro Bot
Got this last week and am close to half of the way through. Really enjoying it, and hoping for a sequel (and a new 3D Mario this year!!)
It doesn't quite sit alongside Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Odyssey, etc for me but is very close!
Re: Game of the Year: #3 - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
@Foxhound Eurogamer readers had Wukong at No. 27 I believe, and Metacritic had it No. 115. It's not THAT surprising is it?
Re: Game of the Year: #4 - Stellar Blade
These lists never make sense, haha. Purexbox gave Indiana Jones 6/10 and the other day decided it was their No. 1 game of the year.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Open World Game of 2024
Ummmm, FFVII Rebirth, surely? Or is that only partially open world?
Re: Game of the Year: #9 - Helldivers 2
@MrPeanutbutterz had the exact opposite experience personally, but each to their own!
Re: SEGA Is Pondering a PS Plus-Esque Subscription of Its Own

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers Write About Their Favourite PS5 Games of 2024
Oh cool - thanks for using my Helldivers words!
Really looking forward to playing a few of these games in 2025, Astro Bot especially

Re: Xbox Is Eager to Build the Best Games You Can Enjoy Everywhere
@UltimateOtaku91 Fair point, though fairly small games? Ah who knows, all it shows is that Xbox decisions seems to be absolute potluck!

Re: Sony's Giga Hit Helldivers 2 Blows Up on PS5, PC All Over Again
having a great time. loving this game, not had this much fun online since horde mode in Gears 2
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 559
Working through FFVII remake, and dropping into Helldivers 2 for the new faction
Re: The Witcher 4 Announced Starring Ciri
Not at all surprising, but it'll be a very different game from Witcher 3... can't see her having the same humour as Geralt, sadly.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2024?
good god no. even if it was on at a reasonable time (UK), not a chance. I hate award shows for anything, especially art or artistic fields... will check in over breakfast tomorrow for the 5-10 mins of new trailers / info

Re: You Can Get Excited for The Game Awards, Says Reputable Journalist
Holy F moments would be Elder Scrolls VI, Witcher 4, or something like Gears or Halo or Forza coming to PS5. Guaranteed to be none of these things

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 Announced as CDPR Promises New Features on Fourth Anniversary
This is one of the 4 games I have installed on my PS5 ready to play when I finish FFVII... very excited to finally give it a go
Re: Video: Over 60 of the Most Essential PS5 Games So Far
only game not there, unless I missed it, that's on my Wishlist is Space Marine 2
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Thinks the Days of Consoles Are Numbered
he speaks a lot of sense, especially about the length of AAA games, but most people will still buy a console and play COD/FIFA on it.
Re: My First Gran Turismo Available This Friday for Free on PS5, PS4
"Cars obtained by completing 'My First Gran Turismo' can be unlocked in 'Gran Turismo 7' if the same account for PlayStation™Network is used with both games."
And it's 15 GB on PS5
Re: My First Gran Turismo Available This Friday for Free on PS5, PS4
I like driving games, but the sheer size of games like GT7 puts me off! A handful of races and time trials may scratch the itch for me...
Is this always online?
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Was Made for PlayStation Thanks to Sony Music and Booze

Re: Feature: John's PS1 Memories
I don't regret 1 day of owning my Sega master system, mega drive, Saturn or Dreamcast... but got a PS2 after the demise of Sega
Re: Indiana Jones PS5's Launch Trailer Will Make the Spring 2025 Wait That Little Harder
"I know enough to get me into trouble" is such a great line, and nails the vibe of the first 3 films. I really hope this game is good!!
Re: Awesome-Looking, Cancelled LEGO James Bond Game Has Us Shaken and Stirred
I'd surely get bored of it within 20 mins, but a lego bond game focussing on the Sean Connery and Roger Moore movies would have been comedy gold
Re: PS Store 30th Anniversary Sale Offers 2,000+ PS5, PS4 Game Deals
fairly new PS5 owner, was waiting for god of war to drop to £8! can't wait to play

Re: Rumour: Forza Horizon 5 Is Ready to Roll on PS5, But Release Has Been Delayed
I love the Horizon games, and have FH 2, 3, 4 and 5 on my xbox. FH4 the best by far for me, but FH5 is great. Not sure I'd double dip on PS5, but it's a superb game series
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard's European Launch Sales Fall Short of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
wow, does this mean everybody on earth has finally now purchased Mario kart 8? haha
Re: Feature: Why Would Sony Want to Buy Kadokawa?

Re: Best Sports Games on PS5
college football looks great, odd that you gave it 8/10 then placed it below a bunch of 7/10 games, but doesn't really matter!!
Re: Game of Thrones Star Sophie Turner Might Play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider TV Show
terrible casting for me, always thought she was a shocking actress, bad in GoT and woeful in the xmen flicks.
