My long term city on Cities Skylines is getting too stressful to manage now, so I’m going to play through GTA5 on PS5. Haven’t played it since it came out on the PS3 10+ years ago!

Was going to download, but guess I’ll wait now. Bad timing to have not released this just before making it free to everyone.

@Loamy There’s giant African land snails!

My son loves animals and planet coaster so he’s already been having a blast with this, it’s basically exactly what it looks like.

Wonder if they’ll ever put out some PS:VR 1 games again. Surely be a good way to get people using the newer tech by giving away some of the older games.

Should be a ‘Yes but I’ll wait for them to patch in 60fps’ option.

I’d say they were limiting fast travel on purpose to deliberately sell more MS crystals but the first game had this rubbish limited fast travel system as well. Rather than update the system they’ve just monetised it?

TTRPGs have been using this technology for 50 years in real life

It is interesting though, and I think in 10 years time this is going to be standard. Along with procedural level design etc it’s only a matter of time before game makers design the framework and basic plot for a game and the rest of it is just AI.

Such a shame if they can’t make it 60fps. Love love love this series but I just can’t play on 30fps any more for an action game.

I love Borderlands, but Kevin Hart as Roland is a massive mis-cast I reckon, unless they’ve changed the whole type of character he is.

Claptrap won’t be the same with Jack Black, should have used the same voice actor as before.

I thought this and Sea of Thieves were the same thing and it was F2P. £70? Um no thanks. Not great marketing, I thought it had already come and gone.

I played a single player mode which went on for an age and wouldn’t let me exit it. With no way to get back to the menu I had to do a hard close and I’ve not been tempted to boot it up again since. The whole style to me was cringe rather than cool.

I’ll give Foamstars a go as could be quite fun.

Rollerdrome is ok, I played the demo and felt like I’d seen the entire game in 10 minute though.

It’s just a game and just a story. Just don’t play it if you don’t want a Batman to die.

More intriguing is the way that people keep trying to make Suicide Squad a thing. Movie, reboot, game - I’m getting the vibe that people just aren’t that into the Suicide Squad.

Deal breaker for me! I just can’t go back to 30fps.

Hue is a great little game!

I will give this a go. Loved Tekken since the PS1 days. Is it timed?

I wasn’t sure how this would turn out but it looks great! I love the movies so will go and seek this out now.

So this is a new game by the Rocket League people, but only playable in Fortnite? Not in Rocket League itself. Why exactly?

Played 150 hours to the finish and never once had a single issue in Act 3!

However Halfling monks cannot proc topple or stagger on flurry of blows with Open Hand subclass since day 1 so hey ho.

This looks potentially great, but another game with a tiny UI you need to be a foot away from the screen to be able to use.

I remember it not being very good but looking at the comments I think it was just me! At the time I just thought it was a janky 3D worms and that was it.

Rogue/Ranger has always been a really common multiclass in the ttrpg so no surprises there.

But where are all the Bard-barians? Shout and scream your lyrics before beating someone down with your drum.

Throwing goblins into other goblins on Baldurs Gate 3.

@Jaz007 The only turn slowdown I’ve seen is when I’ve counterspelled an enemy. They just freeze for a good few seconds, but I roleplay that as the enemy being utterly flabbergasted that their nova spell has just countered and they just stand still in disbelief rethinking their life choices.

@sorteddan ahh a fellow multi-thousand hour Warframe player. Greetings Tenno!

BG3 has set the bar pretty high and 40k doesn’t have the best reputation for games despite the amazing IP potential, but I am pretty hopeful for this!

Unpacking and Sniper for me but otherwise absolute trash month.

@Fiendish-Beaver not really, each of the face buttons is a specific arm/leg and then you have modifiers on the should buttons for body/head/jab etc and then you can combine that with wildcard type moves like spinning kicks etc To an extent you make your own combos just like a real fight, but if you want you can have a more nimble single strike style taking into account blocking and countering. Surprisingly deep and tactical once you recognise telegraphed moves.

Touting alter-egos as a new feature - isn’t it just a different skin? A feature in games across all genres that we’ve seen for 20+ years.

And a redesigned grapple system, which they redesign every year.

I feel like this suffers from the same fatigue that all EA games suffer from which is that they basically never change. You might as well play 3 or 4 unless you’re desperate for 60fps.

Ironically can’t play BG3 tonight as I’m playing irl D&D, but I’m super excited for tomorrow! Downloading now.

Cannot wait for this!

As a irl D&D player, it’s amazing to see what lengths they’ve had to go to replicate the game. Glad this game, the developer and D&D are getting some recognition.

Was never interested in these games until someone pleased with me to try Desperadoes 3. Loved that and loved Shadow Tactics so excited about this one! Great games.

Trying to get through Hogwarts Legacy. I love Harry Potter and the game is technically great, but I’m just not finding it that fun??

It’s just a beep… but I love how much this divides the community.

#teamnobeep

I welcome this. Origins and Odyssey were great but I grew bored and the only thing putting me off starting Valhalla is the length.

If it’s new Resistance then I’d be all in for that. Loved the first two. If it’s a new multiplayer only game as rumoured then meh.

Everything about this game screams that it looks like it’s been completely created using ChatGPT.

However it does look fun and so what more do you need?

Genuinely forgot this was meant to be coming out. With all the changes of script and director, the signs don’t look good do they?

There are people playing in graphics mode?

I’ve had the heat warning and a random shutdown while playing Rift Apart recently. A full dust-clean if the inside helped a bit.

Was just looking to get a backbone, purely to play PS5 in other rooms in the house so I think I might just hold out for this. The price really will dictate it for me.

Customer UI for consoles? Then yes to this!

Ported UI from PC? Hard no, as I won’t be able to see any of the tiny tiny numbers and menus that this game will no doubt have hundreds of, as I don’t sit 30cm away from my screen like a PC player would.

As someone who doesn’t like zombie films, tv shows or games - Days Gone was my favourite game of that year.

I am hoping they’ve raised enough excitement for a sequel by saying they definitely aren’t doing one, that if they DO announce one - it’ll be amazing!!

I really enjoyed Braking Point so this will sway me towards a new one.

@Total_Weirdo the CMA is nothing to do with the UK Government, it’s independent.

I’m so excited for this! I can’t see how it’ll be good, but I don’t care. Always loved Knuckles.

@CWill97 Agreed her world building and storylines are absolutely fantastic. HP is close to my heart. Her ability to come up with a set of sensible and workable rules for a new sport however, are not.

I imagine they’ll add in back story and flesh it out a bit and have him die towards the end of season 2, penultimate episode. Leading onto season 3 being the bulk of the second game.

Claimed all the free costumes off the store for Sackboys Big Adventure. Had about 35 of the same email come through!

Looking to play at least 4-5 of these so that’s amazing!!

Excited until I saw the trailer. Shame as I get super excited for any new 40k game!
