@lessthanleo thanks! That’s the perfect price for it

So weird they've still not released the price of the paid DLC with only 4 days to go. I'm looking forward to this though.

I've got 4 cars left to get in the base game at the moment, and that would still take months because of their rarity.

I’ve almost finished my Zelda Wind Waker playthrough, input lag and extreme obtuseness aside it’s still a great game. So much character.

I’ve also been playing a bit of Vampire Survivors, just 60 trophies (out of an eye watering 244) to go.

The game that’s surprised me the most is Baby Steps which I got in the sale a week ago. From not being able to take more than three steps, to being able to run up stairs, it’s just so weird and funny. I want to explore everywhere now!

And hey, isn’t it weird they haven’t released the price of the GT7 DLC with less than a week to go!

Have a great weekend Folks!

@StitchJones 😂. Totally agree with Lords of the Fallen, the NPC’s could do with a bit of polish but the level design is awesome

“Pies of Lee”!? I’ll show myself out

Yup, a poisoned chalice from the start. The first one had character, but wow, it was a buggy heap

@somnambulance I haven’t played Maquette is quite a while but I remembered it was a bit of a brainbender . Changing perspective and making small things big. Talos Principle has some underlying theological themes, but it’s mostly told through the terminals and you can pretty much ignore them and just do the spacial puzzles (the metagame and secrets are fantastic, there’s even a nod to Aperture Science )

@somnambulance He’s got great taste in games, if he likes those Maquette is worth a look and The Talos Principle is superb

I've been playing Wind Waker on the Wii U for a couple of days. It's a great game but man, the input lag is painful. Just had a sale splurge on Baby Steps, Silent Hill F, and the two Ender Lilies games so that should keep me going for a bit.

Also just finished up the weekly GT7 races and finally got the MacLaren F1 '94. 920 hours in and 4 cars left to go! I finished Prodeus which is a solid little shooter, loads of secrets to find too

Have a great weekend Folks!

I thought I wasn’t in to deck building games, then I played Inscryption and loved it, so I’m definitely up for this.

How many hundreds of trophies does it have? I’m up to about 170 out of 244 in Vampire Suvivors

@Northern_munkey you wont regret the psvr2, it’s pretty much the only way i play gt7, so good (with the small exception the BMW VGT doesn't have a cockpit model so it’s like your’e driving with your head out the sun roof 😄).

It’s a smart move because it’s a spread bet, cover all the markets, but I really could not care less (like live service or free to play games).

@Zuljaras That orphanage is so creepy

@Zuljaras I’ve still got my day 1 release 3 disk boxset of Painkiller from 21 years ago . Fantastic shooter, feels brilliant, huge hordes, great power ups and millions of secrets. One of my favourites!

Late to the party today, but after my marathon “Every OG Doom Map Pack” run, I got Prodeus. I spent about the first 2 hours thinking, man I don’t like this, no saving during the levels, twitchy aiming, but then I suddenly clicked with it. It’s a damn good little shooter with lots of secrets. I also finished Inscryption which I absolutely loved, cards and weird metagame game

I want the Top Gear test track and the Suzuki Liana so i can beat Jay Kay’s time

I'm still playing the fantastic Inscryption in the evenings, sacrilege but I like the card element more than Balatro!

I've almost finished my marathon replay of all OG Doom, just playing through Legacy of Rust.

As a chillout alternative, I've also gone back to Immortals Fenyx Rising which is sooo good, almost Zelda like.

I've parked Powerwash Simulator 2 until they patch in gyro controls

Have a great weekend Folks!

Thanks @Ralizah and @max_the_german, it’s really useful to see how you’re both getting on with it. I pretty much only play docked, and i only tend to get the “blockbuster” Nintendo games (and some exclusives). I might well be tempted into getting one

@Ralizah I was almost looking to be talked into it since I’d really like to play Tears of the Kingdom again with a decent framerate. I’d heard bad things about Echoes of Wisdom’s framerate too, which the Switch 2 seems to fix. I’d still love a classic Mario and/or dungeon based Zelda, but it is starting to sound like I’d get some boom for my buck now. It would give me an excuse to play Moon again too

@Max_the_German you’re tempting me now . I might make it a Christmas present to myself

@Max_the_German that was about the only one i was interested in, but i really wanted a Zelda or Mario. Sounds like Echoes of Wisdom is better on the Switch 2, so that’s tempting

The Switch 2 is the first Nintendo console ive skipped since the N64, there’s just nothing on it i want. Ninty are missing out on the money for the seven games i usually get on each console (PS4/5 is at around 300 games 😂)

On a whim, i bought Inscryption on sale thinking “I’m not that interested in card games, but i’ll give it s shot”. I’m now as obsessed with it as i was Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and The Blue Prince (41 trophies too!) I’d much rather spend £70 on ten games like these than on one “committee developed” piece of “AAA” dross.

I hope Daniel Mullin’s other games come to playstation at some point or i might have to support him via those Half Life 3 withholding monsters “steam”

Have a great weekend folks!

@Jammer Thanks buddy, I'm missed that, the first one was intense! Off to my wishlist! Edit: D'oh not up yet. Darkwood's on sale for £2.49 if anyone's interested, that's a steal!

Im going more for indie games these days Bendy and the Ink Machine and Darkwood were interesting. Loved Crow Country and i’m just playing and loving Inscryption

Finally finished Hollow Knight again, and platinumed Hogwarts Legacy. I’m still “between games” and figuring out what to get next, so I’m playing the fantastic Steamworld Dig and OG Doom (The Master Levels) at the moment, which aren’t actually great, but I’ve only got a couple of levels left

Looks like gyro controls aren’t enabled at the moment, hopefully they patch it in soon. It could do with some deadzone config too

@SoapMonki, a demo for every game would be great, I guess I can understand why some don't.

Totally agree with them being permanent, and I'd add NOT BEHIND A PSN PAYWALL. A demo isn't an added perk for PSN subscribers, it's a tool to sell games. Everyone who doesn't have a PSN subscription is still supporting Sony by buying their consoles and software.

I still haven't brought Doom Dark Ages because I want to try before I buy (or I'll get it in a couple of years for £5)

Rant over

I'm still finishing off Hollow Knight, and some Hogwarts Legacy. I've also become re-addicted to the original Doom, I'm playing the Final Doom levels at the moment.

I'm still not sure about Ghost of Yokei (almost wrote Yorkie 😂), I'm still a bit salty about the upgrade path for Ghost of Tsushima

Id only get 4 or 5 hours out of my original dual sense, but the one that came with the pro will do 10 hours. No stick drift on either thankfully. I wished they put deadzone config into the OS though, rather than hoping games implement it. I always liked that xbox batteries were removable (swap and charge approach), so this is good

I'm still playing Hollow Knight in the evenings and loving it as much as the first time I played it. So much depth. It's really set me up for Silksong.

I've finished NMS and I'm still struggling to find a weekend game I really want to play so I've gone for a replay of Hogwarts Legacy which looks so good on Pro (performance mode). I'm taking the collectathon approach at the moment and really enjoying it. I think the next one will probably be Clair Obscur since you bunch seem to be enjoying it so much!

Happy Weekend and Congrats on 600 WAYPTW's Folks!

Push Square's not far off 500K followers, so that should be another celebration

There’s a message on the landing page saying “Free Spec III coming December”, new tracks, cars and features! GT7, the gift that keeps giving!

@Robamuffin I hope so, it's just another "try before you buy" option and I really don't like these sitting behind PSN (which obviously I don't have), just like Doom Dark Ages.

I'd have given it a shot today if it had been an open demo. It sounds promising you liked it though. Looks like fun.

PSA: It’s another one of those games where the demo is paywalled behind PSN Premium. So dumb. Can’t have nice things….

I hope GT8 has got Sophy AI throughout, the base AI is pretty oblivious. Still a brilliant game, after these I’ve only got 6 cars left to get

I hope Vampire Survivors looks good on it. Fingers crossed for 60fps😂. But yeah, fps / framepacing > bells & whistles!

No Mans Sky is still scratching my itch (I just found a system called Robopoop IV with a cartographer guild member call Cartographer Dude (apparently you can't rename NPCs))

I also came across a weird little British metroidvania called Horace which is worth a look, it gets 9.5 / 10 on PSN, but I don't think PushSquare have covered it (might be one for Mr Tailby if you're interested).

I'm still finishing off Hollow Knight in the evenings so hopefully I'll be on to Silksong soon.

Have a great weekend Folks!

@TimeDelayedGamer no problem at all 😄

@TimeDelayedGamer, it's pretty similar in crafting to Subnautica (the usual farm resources, get blueprints to build technology). Some blueprints can be gated behind missions (I was trying to find a blue print for a antimatter containment vessel before it randomly appeared after completing a mission). Base building isn't quite as tight as Subnautica, the editor can be a bit of a chore, but it's not like you doing it all the time. There's a really nice dripfeed of discovery though. You're constantly either crafting items to make your life easier, or pursuing the quests. The flying and combat feels great too, you can offer to buy any ship that lands at a station.

You can notice the procedural nature of it, but it's no distracting, it's like "Oh here's the mineral on this world that I get sodium from" but it looks slightly different. The worlds and animals can look completely different.

Plus I think it's on PSN for about £16 at the moment. I've put 141 hours in to it, so yep, I'd recommend it. Edit: And it's PSVR2 enabled!

It can feel a challenge to remember how to do everything if you come back to it after a year or two like I did, which is why I restarted (it's infinitely better than Elite Dangerous in my opinion too, it has a story )

I was struggling to find something I wanted to play other than Hollow Knight, which I absolutely love again now, it just keeps opening up. Totally ready for Silksong when I've finished it.

I wanted to play something like Subnautica, so I took another crack at No Mans Sky and loving it. They've put so much effort into it.

Have a great weekend Folks!

I’d have to second Death Stranding 2, being on top of a mountain and seeing the massive moon, or a sunset. Wow! I think is has the best mist/fog/snow I’ve seen in a game too. Lords of the Fallen shows what a good implementation of UE5 can do. Astrobot has got some of the most polished graphics, shows it’s not just Nintendo that can produce that kind of quality. Lumo is a fantastic interpretation of 8 bit isometric adventures too. GT7’s weather system and raytracing too. But hey, for every powerhouse like DS2, there are a bunch of indies that use graphics to make you feel something. It’s not just about the flash

I got mine about a year after launch, i was pretty much PC only, but it made a lot of sense when i moved into my girlfriends. So many memories of Suikoden, Legacy of Kain and FF7!

Awesome! Loved that game, one of the rare ones ive replayed even though i got the platinum

I bounced of Blasphemous 2 because of the difficulty spikes (loved Blasphemous 1), I was really hoping this wouldn't be the same. I finished Hollow Knight in the past (just replaying it again), but I was really hoping Silksong would not be difficult to the point of "not fun". Fingers crossed it isn't, I do plan on getting it as soon as I've finished HK again

Finally got around to finishing Thank Goodness Your Here, it's like a Northern English South Park "Peans, not quite Peas, not quite Beans" Also got the Vampire Survivors Platinum, which was nice.

I'm also playing Hollow Knight (I finished it on PC, but not on PS4) so I get in the right mood for Silksong. It took me a while to get back into it, but as soon as you get dash, it feels so much better.

I even played a bit of Dirt Rally with an ancient MS Force Feedback steering wheel, still a damn good game.

It’s scalpers 😂. Im playing hollow knight to get me into it (which is really working), ill grab it when ive finished that

Does anyone know if it’s any better on Pro? I loved the PS3 games but I was a bit cooler on the 2017 one (it’s still fine). Hopefully it gets some patches, but I think I’ll wait for a sale

Ive literally just platinumed Vampire Survivors and there’s still about 100 dlc trophies. Ill keep on eye on this

Gooseberrrmps! I scanned the first paragraph and thought they’d made it like Outlast and RE for a second! Hey kids, are you ready for the torture scene?!

@rusty82 , so much replayability too!
