Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 562

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

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: SEGA Is Pondering a PS Plus-Esque Subscription of Its Own

Dimey

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!

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...

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: No Xbox Games Are Off the Table for Release on PS5, Says Phil Spencer

Dimey

I've been XBOX since the 360 but picked up a PS5 recently for all the PS4/5 exclusives I've missed out on. XBOX games I'd double dip on would include Starfield, Forza Horizon (tricky with car licensing), Gears 1-3, Halo MCC, and in the future, Fable, Perfect Dark, Gears E-day, etc, all seem likely for PS anyway. Wouldn't buy them again, but the two Ori games are fantastic also.
