Bought Silksong the other day but I'm going to finish Shinobi first before I get stuck into it. I don't want to dilute two great games by playing them at the same time. If that makes sense.
Could be all right. I mean, it's Tomb Raider, it doesn't need to be Citizen Kane. I'd have liked to see Karen Gillan get the gig but she's perhaps too big a name now
@J2theEzzo lol yeah the closest thing I've played was Harvest Fishing back on the ps2. Me and my mate bought it for a laugh from Game for pennies and ended up getting really into it
I probably won't be picking it up at launch (Yotei's fault), but yeah I am looking forward to playing this down the line. I went heavy on the speech stats in the first one, and some of the dialogue choices were absolute gold
Surely this comes down to whether you're a graphics person or a gameplay person? The former is always going to say "yes" to a new gen, the latter will say "no"
Looking forward to this. I guess the point of the tricks and point-scoring stuff is to give it a bit more replay value, so I'm fine with that side of things
@LifeGirl I love the series and even I can't fully explain it. It's just one of those things that either clicks with you or doesn't, much like driving a forklift truck
As a compromise, maybe EA would let them make a Dragon Age football team for FIFA? Sten in net, Alistair would be your midfield general and Leliana could be the nippy striker up top
I've never understood the love Suikoden III gets. It just didn't resonate with me at all. I found the graphics babyish and the writing a massive step back from the first two.
I'd be more interested in a localisation of the Suikogaiden games, which never reached these shores
Off to Bloomfield Road for the start of another football season. Later it'll be Demon's Souls, Sniper Elite and some We Love Katamari Reroll, which I downloaded yesterday because me and my mate always used to play it at this time of year.
Just finished it. It's absolutely superb, looks like there's going to be lots of replayability too.
There are accessibility/difficulty options for anyone worried about that, although I played it on the standard settings without too much trouble, and my reactions aren't what they used to be

Re: Push Square Reader Survey 2025
"How often do you visit Pure Xbox?"
I've never been so insulted in all my life.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?
Absolutely all over it
Re: Game of Thrones Star Announced as Lara Croft for Amazon's Tomb Raider TV Show
Could be all right. I mean, it's Tomb Raider, it doesn't need to be Citizen Kane. I'd have liked to see Karen Gillan get the gig but she's perhaps too big a name now
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Metal Gear Solid 5, 10 Years Later?
Absolutely loved Ground Zeroes, but Phantom Pain lost me about halfway through.
Re: Expect to Pay $20 for Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5, PS4
If £16.75 is correct that's insane. I was expecting to pay 30 quid and would have had no problem doing so.
I got about 40 hours out of the first one and was nowhere near 100% completion either
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
Finished Lies of P, and now I can't decide whether to get Shinobi or wait for Silksong in a few days. Help!
Re: $200 MGS Delta Collector's Edition Ridiculed Over Temu-Esque Snake Figurine
Ah yes, the scene where Snake answers a codec call next to a tree. One of the all time iconic gaming moments
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Will Get Even Tougher in New Hard Mode
It turns out we've been playing Soulsborne games on easy mode all this time

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025 Announced
@Feffster I'm worried I could end up losing hours to it lol
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025 Announced
@Westernwolf4 Haha I'm one of those two, I am quite pleased actually!

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025 Announced
Stardew Valley is an interesting one. Never played it myself but I think my youngest would be interested in it.
At least I hope he is, because otherwise it's slim pickings for me

Re: Preview: Hellraiser PS5's Sexual Horror Is Pushing Its M Rating to the Max
Sounds like we'll be seeing a lot of pricks in this game.
I'm talking about the pins. What are you talking about?
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (PS5) - A Gorgeous, Triumphant Return for SEGA's Ninja Series
If I'd stopped at the demo this would still be one of my goty contenders. I'll probably grab this when I wrap up Lies of P
Re: 'The Number of Live Service Games Is Not Important': PS5 Boss Gives Rare Insight into Strategy
@Ricky-Spanish I'd go and watch a Bloodborne musical to be fair
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
Lies of P, hoping to finish it this week as I've got a feeling I'll drop it for Shinobi and never go back to it.
I've also started The Plucky Squire, want to play this one before it disappears from Plus
Re: Once Upon a Katamari's Opening Scene May Be the Jolliest Thing You'll See Today
Well I think that clears up the finer details of the plot
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Finally Out on 4th September
The first one was one of my ps4 faves. This will be brilliant
@NovemberEmber Get that pre-order in and you might get it a day early. You could have the PS Portal on the go while you're walking down the aisle
Re: August 2025's PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
@Feffster That was quick work, glad you've got it sorted. I'll keep that number handy, cheers
Re: August 2025's PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
@Feffster cheers yeah it's not the end of the world, plenty of other stuff to play but it is a bit annoying. Let me know how you get on
Re: August 2025's PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
@Feffster I'm having the exact same problem with Disco Elysium, which is still on the service I think. It's very strange.
Not much help, but you're not alone!

Re: Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven Is a Huge New Expansion Coming to PS5, PS4 in 2026
Yes 100% in on this
Re: 'Special' Hollow Knight: Silksong Announcement Set for Thursday
Excellent stuff, can't wait

@get2sammyb Always
Re: Ryo Hazuki Returns in Shenmue 3 Enhanced on PS5
I thought this was a Shenmue 4 announcement for a split second

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 594
Absolutely romping through Lies of P. I haven't seen this many puppets get battered since I watched a Punch and Judy show
Re: Make Up Your Own Mind About Critically Panned PS1 Platformer Bubsy 3D from 9th September on PS5
I always thought his name was Busby. Right up until this very moment. I'm not sure what to do with this information
Re: Mafia: The Old Country (PS5) - Historical Crime Story Runs Out of Ammo
I enjoyed Mafia 3 for the feeling of being in that time period more than anything else. Might wait for this to pop up on Plus and give it go then
Re: EA Refuses to Fund the Dragon Age Remasters You Crave
As a compromise, maybe EA would let them make a Dragon Age football team for FIFA? Sten in net, Alistair would be your midfield general and Leliana could be the nippy striker up top
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 593
Started Lies of P, sailed through to the first boss without dying but this guy is kicking my wooden backside
EDIT: Got him
Re: The Big Suikoden Livestream Was a Bust (Unless You're into the Mobile Game)
@Slayn_Fallsmyer Same here, I'd much sooner replay 4 given the choice. I should look up a fan translation of the Suikogaiden games, maybe I'll do that
Re: The Big Suikoden Livestream Was a Bust (Unless You're into the Mobile Game)
@neillaw Good point, that probably goes a long way. I remember being gutted it wasn't coming out in the UK. Meanwhile Sui 4 gets all the stick, lol
Re: Power Rangers Are Coming to Fortnite, And You Absolutely Must Watch the Reveal Trailer
Best thing Fortnite has done in ages, in all honesty

I've never understood the love Suikoden III gets. It just didn't resonate with me at all. I found the graphics babyish and the writing a massive step back from the first two.

This looks superb. Also, Stella looks a lot like Sarah
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025?
Lies of P has been on my list for some time so very happy with that
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
@Jrs1 I'm tempted to pre-order Shinobi after playing the demo yesterday, absolutely brilliant
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
Off to Bloomfield Road for the start of another football season. Later it'll be Demon's Souls, Sniper Elite and some We Love Katamari Reroll, which I downloaded yesterday because me and my mate always used to play it at this time of year.
Got to love August.
Re: Mortal Kombat Trilogy Joins PS5, PS4 Legacy Kollection, Killer Physical Editions Announced
@ILikeStake The sheer effort that has gone into this komment
Re: Rumour: Starfield PS5 to Take Flight Alongside New Expansion Next Year
I'll give it a go when it's on sale or if it hits Plus. I can't see myself stumping up on day one for a years-old game
Re: Mortal Kombat Trilogy Joins PS5, PS4 Legacy Kollection, Killer Physical Editions Announced
Goro should really be able to hold two controllers, I feel like he's not putting the effort in
Re: Rumour: Leaked PS6 Specs Reveal Affordable, Power Efficient Next-Gen Console
Is there a plan to combat scalpers? Because the price is irrelevant to me if the only way I can get one is online for a grand
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Has a Free Playable Demo Available Right Now on PS5, PS4
Just finished it. It's absolutely superb, looks like there's going to be lots of replayability too.

Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Has a Free Playable Demo Available Right Now on PS5, PS4
Thank you for this information, I'm off to do that right now
