Lost my interest in Gran Turismo long ago. The high point for me personally was GT4. 5 was just an HD update, 6 went completely under my radar, Sport had it's moments and at least tried something new but if multiplayer isn't your cup of tea it fell flat.

The only way this could get my interest again is if they have massive improvements to the opponent AI and there is an option to qualify for races and set the race length. If literally every race means you have 3 laps to work your way to number one from last place then as a game designer you don't really understand what racing is about...

I enjoyed Project Cars 2 massively more then Gran Turismo becaues I could learn a track in free practice and adjust my settings, then qualify, then depending on my qualifying results I had to defend my position from a capable AI, or try to overtake by driving slightly faster but very consistent. The feeling of finally overtaking someone (even an AI) after stalking him for 5 laps is so much better then overtaking 12 cars in 2 laps in a massively overpowered car.

But yeah, that's just my 2 cents. If you guys still enjoy Gran Turismo as much as I did back in the days I'm happy for you. I just wish they would improve on a few areas are then shinier cars.

I'm looking forward to this but my expectations aren't sky high. with the footage they've shown so far I think the setting doesnt look as interesting as the previous game. And the unneeded addition of a branching story and the troubled development had tempered my expectations somewhat.

Lmao. Just started Control 2 days ago. Ouch! Oh well. Congrats to anyone that didn't have it yet. I've played a bit and it seems like an awesome game.

I was accidentally on a website where it was available for pre order so couldve been lucky but I decided not to buy it. I can easily wait at least another year. It doesnt feel like the ps3 to ps4 transition where new games would barely run on the older hardware. Cyberpunk is an exception so far

@Channel42 I have the same. I enjoyed RE4 as a whole. But it feels like 2 different games to me. The cool part in the village and the lame part in the castle. The final third is decent imo but again not as cool as the village.

Ill get it when its cheap like I did Ride 2 and 3. Fun games but not worth full retail imo

Honestly how many remakes do you guys want. I understand the games hold some nostalgic value but they really arent THAT good in terms of gameplay?

@Paranoimia yeah same here. Im content with my Pro with SSD for now. Ill upgrade to PS5 when there is at least one game that I must absolutely play on PS5

@Paranoimia well the ps5 will be relevant for years to come so I dont think you will waste your money by buying one. Except if you pay scalper prices for it

Real bummer. I've been waiting for years on this. Dying Light 1 was fantastic fun and the Dead Island games too. Especially when playing in coop

It's good that the hype around it died quickly so they can hopefully work on improving the game in some peace. the results will be better for it. Just look at the first patch that was rushed out and suddenly broke the in game menu.

Cool. Gonnma give Greedfall a go since I'm looking for a rpg to take the place of cyberpunk

@TheArt well it sold really well and a lot of people were happy with it so I would say it wasn't a bad move. Maybe they shouldve discontinued it a little earlier but perhaps they didnt expect the amount of day one sales that the PS5 had. I think corona meant a lot of people were sitting at home bored out of their minds so sales were very good.

@TheArt it was never supposed to be necessary, just an option for those that wanted to.

Deleted it off my harddrive so I wouldnt be tempted to play it anyway. Was going to wait at least untill the february patch but the way things are looking this will be at least a year before they fix the technical issues AND the balancing and cut content etc. Bummer.

@TechaNinja isnt that from Mars Attacks! ?

@Wazeddie22 dying light 2! For the love of god what happened to this game

@ObserverGamez yeah its funny how the other characters were a lot more interesting than the main character. I liked Juna as well and I thought Jin acted like a right a****** to her, convincing her to stay all the time. "Promise me to keep fighting". Oh come on! Just let her go allready lol.

I refuse to play games where I have tockill the same enemies again and again before a bossfight.
Also I dont have a PS5....

I make a point of only completing games before I buy new ones so I never have a huge backlog although I offcourse have a wishlist of games I want to play. This keeps it more manageable. Liveservice games however you can't ever complete so they don't appeal to me for that reason. I think you should tell yourself to only commit to 1 or 2 at the most live service games if you're into them.

@KevinDS88 hey thanks for the tip. Didnt know about desperados. Its not quite the same as RB6 but I really enjoyed shadow tactics as well so I put this on my wishlist

I wish we would go back to the format of the original RB6 games, those were some of the best games I have ever played. The planning and tactical skills required were really pushing my skills as a 12 year old but I can honestly say they shaped me as a person. Having to make decisions whether to continue the campaign when you end a mission with 2 dead and a couple wounded, putting you in a bad position for upcoming missions. So many choices to make.
Not to mention the awesome feeling when you execute your plan perfectly.

Unfortunately to me the franchise doesn't exist anymore. I can never see myself playing this counterstrike look a like. Especially after articles like this.

@ObserverGamez I agree its a great game but personally I found a few faults. Jin was too dry for my opinion. Allways this sober dude, no laughing. The ending did give me goosebumps though.

And the side quests were very bland. Person in distress needs help, go kill a handfull of enemies, receive charm you allready have a dozen duplicates of. The other open world collectibles like fox dens etc were a dime a dozen as well. You did one you did them all. So while the world was gorgeous it didnt push me to explore it.

Ill stop complaining now, like I said its still a great game and I'm glad you enjoyed it

Didnt play it but will pick it up later when theres a good sale. For a remake I think the price is a bit high.

@carlos82 completely agree with you. GoT is objectively a good game but the open world fluff they couldve done without. My main gripe were the lacklustre side quests. And the infinite thunderstorm because apparently I didnt play as it was supposed to really bothered me as well.

Doom Eternal I had high hopes for but imo it suffered from 'sequel syndrome' and went too far over the top.

TLOU2 could do without the woke characters that felt forced in, especially in a post apocalyptic world. But I think especially gameplay wise it was a big leap forward from TLOU1. And the first half was one of my favourite gaming moments of this generation. The 2nd half took me a while to get into but eventually grew on me. However the game as a whole outstayed it's welcome a bit in the final act (imo).

@Ashbo anything is possible at this stage lol

Score pending? The situation is pretty clear right now. You can't possibly recommend the game on Playstation so it should not be higher than a 5 at most, despite it's potential.

Cyberpunk at half price? XD

@Jimmer-jammer same here. Had one crash in about 5-6 hours of play. Im not playing for many hours on end though. I try to hold myself in and wait for more patches but it's hard since we just entered another lockdown..

@Mpquikster there totally is. This will very much hurt pre orders for their next game

@carlos82 exactly this, thank you.

@jmac1686 What is the problem with these XP boosters you ask? Because they will make the game intentionally grindy just to sell XP boosters, rather than just giving you the option to progress at your own pace.

Take Ghost of Tsushima for example, there are no level or 'gold' requirements to advance the story. If you just want to play the story and skip all side content you can do so without paying a dime. As it should be...

Just look at Far Cry New Dawn or Ghost Recon Breakpoint (not incidentally both recent Ubisoft games). Suddenly they implemented a leveling system for weapons when its predecessors didnt. Why do you reckon that is? Do they really think it will 'improve' the gameplay for you? Or is it there so they can sell XP boosters and time savers?

@sanderson72 yeah so if you really must I think you can play now but apparently besides the performance it has glitches and crashes as well. Didnt encounter them myself but I suppose its best to wait at least a little while before buying.

@sanderson72 took a while before my copy arrived and I had time to play. But played a few hours now and in my opinon the performance is pretty decent. I have a pro with an SSD and play on a 1080P 40inch screen without HDR. Maybe if you have a 60" 4K screen it doens't look as good as one would expect.

Loading times and controller response are fine. Some outdoor areas can be a bit rough and especially when driving your car through these areas the framerate can drop a bit.

I haven't had any hard crashes and major bugs, so all in all on PS Pro I'm confident that they can fix these issues with a couple of patches. I'm going to wait untill the february patch releases and try again I think.

@Skywalker1080p yeah same here. playing on ps pro and performance is decent enough in my opinion but I just played through the prologue. I'll deinstall and wait at least untill the february patch to give it another go.

My preorder copy hasnt arrived yet. Will see for myself how well it runs but its likely I'll wait a few months for some patches and theres a slim chance I might even wait untill I get a ps5 after a year or so.

Looks fun. Allways looking for games to play with my gf but she's quite picky. She tried life is strange last week but she hated it. Apparently she doesnt have the patience for story driven games XD this seems to have plenty of action though

Awesome. I played all ME games and enjoyed all of them including 3 and Andromeda. The combat in Andromeda carried allmost the whole game for me, so if they keep the combat intact and improve on the story and quests it can only get better

@sanderson72 hopefully I'll find out today

Cool. I have a pro with SSD. I think it'll be fine. I'm more.interested in the story and dialogue anyway. The shooting and driving isnt something I expect too much of

@ApostateMage you could join your own party and it will mute all other chat audio.

@Flaming_Kaiser I allways look at average user scores (5, 6 or 7 out of 10) because they tend to weigh in the pro's and the con's. a 10/10 or 1/10 is usually just something like "best/worst game ever" with no arguments given. Same goes for all reviews btw, airbnb, restaurants etc.

@StonyKL well said, man

@Cycologist unfortunately I agree with you. At least GT Sport tried to do something new with the formula and while it never really hooked me I have to admit I had a couple of fantastic online races with randoms in it.

I'll probably get it eventually in a sale or something but it's definitely no longer a day one purchase for me.

Bummer. Was hoping this would be good

@SlyASpiE It allmost feels like you're not supposed to play this way, even though the whole plot revolves around it and you're constantly given new badass 'Ghost techniques'.

If I read that the thunderstorms are patched out I might give it a 2nd playthrough someday.

@wiiware yeah that thunderstorm is getting really tiresome. Just finished the game tonight but the last act I rushed through because of the constant thunderstorm.

Useless mechanic imo and very poorly communicated to the player. I feel like Im being punished for playing a certain way.

Other than that a great game

Im perfectly fine with the game being fairly small as long as there are loads of interesting characters, well written dialogue and different ways of apporaching quests. And that seems to be the case

@Justifier if anything they probably had too much money and time. But too little focus meant they squandered it

Helldivers was so satisfying. Especially when fighting the bugs, all the weapons felt very powerfull. Superfun game.

@djape spoiler much..?
