@Ridwaano it's funny I've had no game breaking issues at all on pro. The worst I had was slow loading textures before first patch and the cross hairs not changing from the tank thing until reloading

Playing on pro, but I've had few issues. Some textures slow to load. 3 crashes maybe. And one or two glitches with enemies. Has seemed pretty smooth for me considering the things people are saying.

I've been playing on PS4 pro and had few issues. Especially since latest patch. Well one crash since that. I don't know if I've been lucky, I tend to be with games that are said to be buggy messes. I can't help feel that CDPR were in a damned if they do and damned if they don't situation. No doubt the pandemic has affected the later part of development and testing and they had already delayed and delayed. At the end of the day it's an excellent game, but feel for base PS4 players and hope they'll get it sorted asap.

They say it's with a veteran team so maybe, just maybe they will come out with something good if EA don't insist it's online and filled with micro transactions. Still I won't get my hopes up until more is known.

@RevengeFan I imagine javkbox will be fine as doesn't use an app.

@YurtleTehTurtle hahaha these days I'm more concerned when there isn't one.

Between that and buying obsidian and inexile it's made me think for sure. The question is can Xbox get back to the glory days of the 360? Red ring of death aside. Granted in most generations I've had both, up until Xbox one/PS4 when I could see little reason to get an Xbox one. Granted the controller is better than the dual shock but games wise Sony beat them hands down. There's not a single Xbox one exclusive I'm interested in. But the many of my favourite games are made by obsidian, Bethesda, arkane and ID. So maybe, or maybe I'll just get both again.

I'd love to see it timed with an announcement for the return of key people behind original trilogy and they're working on Andromeda 2. I known Andromeda was a let down in many ways but with the right lead developers a sequel could make up for it.

@TooBarFoo I've been eagerly awaiting it since it was first announced. I've been playing cyberpunk 2020 for nearly 30 years and it's still my favourite pen and paper RPG.

@Daleaf I was going to say the same. Skyrim was unplayable with move controllers. Well bit unplayable but as it was so clumsy they made the combat absurdly easy it was dull. Psvr needs a custom controller setup like Vive and occulus have.

Meh! Move along nothing to see here.

Hahahaha, crueball? It's clearly a riff on dragons fury not crueball.

Meh, who cares.

Well both are supposed to be good games in their own right, but I think Sony dropped the ball putting them on Psplus in the same month.

Oh well, final fantasy remake can wait, cyberpunk is hands down the game that I want more than any other this year. As much as I loved ff7 I don't have the same buzz for the remake as many do.

@kyleforrester87 haha well you don't always get what you want.

I stopped playing some time after the full release. The beta version was amazing but they changed it too much come full release and it killed it.

To be fair by the time it comes out you'll have been able to finish and 100% fallen order and outer worlds easily. Pillars of eternity could easily last you until April if the first one is anything to go by.

Being an old skool gamer I've had every playstation system at some point. Even had a Japanese import of the PS1. That said I was mainly a sega player in the early 90s but the Saturn just didn't have the games so I went PS1 then Dreamcast then PS2 when it was clear the DC wasn't going to last. The PS2 was a great machine and had fantastic games but the Xbox pipped it for me. Better controller (in my opinion anyway) in built hard drive and some amazing games as well. Granted I had both so I didn't miss out on anything in that era but Xbox become my go to for the most part. That continued with the 360 which again had a far superior controller and generally better games. Again I did have a PS3 so I didn't miss out on the great exclusives but the multi format games were usually better on 360. Overall I'd say the PS3 was a bit of a mis step for Sony. It's funny, Microsoft started that gen on great form and screwed it up trying to get in on the Wii market. Sony made some mistakes early with the PS3 but pulled it together as Microsoft dropped the ball.
With current gen they've Sony got it spot on. The changes to dual shock controllers really impressed me as I didn't like the analogue sticks on older versions. They've got it so right I never even bothered with an Xbox one. so for me the PS4 is the best playstation so far.

@Eldritch agreed, and Tbh the Witcher 3 never felt empty to me, the areas felt naturally quieter. Sort of the opposite of Bethesda games which feel too condensed. I have no doubt it's a tricky thing to balance, along with modes of transport and fast travel. Generally I prefer not to fast travel much in open world games but when playing the sinking city I was doing it as much as possible as that open world was void of content and offered nothing once you've been around it a little. At least with the Witcher 3 there was something here and there, even if it was wolves, drowners or ghouls attacking.
Similarly Rdr2 felt about right, I rarely wondered around in tedium.

I think Sony should add a third title, some indie thing each month.

Wow that's a pretty poor showing.

Definitely, it's ripe for a sequel.

Finally got round to playing days gone and it's better than I expected given the reviews, well so far anyway.

I have a PS4 rather than an Xbox one because of the exclusives, although previously I've been an Xbox owner rather than playstation. Well I've had both but always preferred the Xbox controllers. For me it was midway through the 360 era Microsoft dropped the ball, they let go of exclusives and developers and focused too much on kinect hoping to beat Nintendo and the Wii. Yeah that went well.

@Agramonte Indeed, an Andromeda sequel could turn out to be a fantastic game if it ever happened. It could also be a train wreck. Bioware hasn't made a great game for a while, but it doesn't mean they can't. Just as Bethesda's Starfield could be amazing, it's just recent releases from those developers haven't instilled hope. It would be amazing to see them release something that lives up to their earlier games. As for what I want from a new mass effect game, same as most people, a great story, varied and interesting missions, memorable characters and a decent balance between action and RPG systems. Not much to ask is it? Uhhhh....

You're not wrong, fans and fan communities are often their own worst enemies. Personally I'm hyped for it, I've been playing the pen and paper RPG since the early 90s. I think the Witcher 3 is amazing even with the slightly clunky controls. I like the attitude towards DLC the creators have and it looks great, but I have some reservations. And it's those reservations that are keeping my expectations in check. For all the hype and the things said the game will feature, I'm expecting a bit of a Fable type effect and that it will fail to live up to every aspect of the hype, and that's fine because I'm keeping my expectations in check, even though I'll be getting day one. I suppose I have enough confidence in CDPR to at least deliver a solid game, even if it falls short. At the end of the day, hype is hype, some will be paid for and some will be from genuine interest and as long as you understand that and trust that reviews aren't bought, it's fine.

Not played either, and both ones I've some curiosity about so it's a good month for me I suppose.

@Areus that's on my list to get soon. I've finished Icewind dale a few times on the pc back in the day but never played torment. I also fancy a replay of Icewind dale. Out of interest what are the controls like on the console versions? I was pleasantly surprised at the controls on pillars of eternitys port.

Pillars of eternity and the outer worlds. I was hoping to finish pillars of eternity before the outer worlds came out but I haven't quite done it, yet.

I tried the medievil demo and that was enough to make sure I didn't buy it. To be fair I thought it was rubbish to control originally as well.

A good month for me, haven't played either but have been thinking about getting both.

Dammit! I was hoping for a pantomime horse played by Danny devito and arnold swarchznegger.

@FullbringIchigo doing the same. That and a bit of Gwent

Colour me unimpressed. I'm not a fan of football any more than I am call of duty, but fair enough I won't like everything on ps plus. I do wish they would up it to 3 games again. One bargain basement indie added would make a difference.

I loved the Gwent beta but the drastic changes to full release killed it stone dead for me.

@rdchili96 yeah it should, but hopefully this will finally make the game what it should have been and lead towards what it could be. Fingers crossed they make good of it.

@RawnDawn you mean you wonder if it's a cross buy with PS4 and ps5? I doubt it but that would be cool.

I don't see consoles disappearing for a while. Streaming has too many limitations.

@ShogunRok amen to that.

At present I don't think it provides a good enough service for the price. The streaming is glitchy too. I have great internet, speeds shouldn't be an issue but Games were largely unplayable on it.

@Robocod he did say that, but I can understand it. He's the mouth piece, the sales man. It's his job to sell the product. That doesn't make it alright but I understand it. I wonder though, was he responsible for the decision to launch it when it did? Could he have launched it as a beta? Maybe all that is above his paygrade. What if Todd is the poor guy who despite saying it's not ready for full release was told the game had to launch on the date and that he had to sell it. If that were the case I hope those who made the decision have seen the error of their ways. I hope Bethesda can make 76 a good game. I hope they pull out all the stops starfield and es6 are decent games. Sadly I fear that is too much to ask.

@BridgeToClarity I was very pleasantly surprised with it. Many games like that I find tedious but Edith Finch was fantastic.

Already have both, but not bad.

Only had a quick bash at the demo so far and I wasn't sure on it. The key words being quick bash. Maybe it's better when you start to sink your teeth into it. For the record I haven't played the first one.

Hard pass.

Oh I have to write more? Seriously hard pass. It's a novelty toy that in twenty years retro gamers will be paying through the nose for... Maybe I should get one then 😂😂😂

Never played the first one, but got the invite.

As others have said, this one isn't a retread even though it's kind of a remake of Abe's exoddus. Essentially it's the game they wanted to make back then plus more modern bells and whistles. I'm curious to see what comes of it. I mean new and tasty was good but managed to be lesser to the original. I hope this time they surpass the original.

@Kalofkryoton a nightmare creatures remake could be great, would probably be a bit souls like.

@Gumbopudding, that sucks for you. I don't find it an issue at all and generally prefer first person, but you know, different strokes for different folks. That said I see people playing Bethesda games in 3rd person and wonder what kind of a psycho they are. 😂😂😂😂 AHH you never know, it might have a 3rd person mode come release.
