@Czar_Khastik Don't forget to read the accompanying novel

Lies of P has been an almost-buy for me many times, so that's massive.

I've always had a weird curiosity about DayZ as well, so I'll probably try it while the servers get a boost

Tencent are going to need Aloy-yer.

Just for clarity, that's a pun on A LAWYER. Also, it only works if you pronounce it weirdly. Other than that, a solid pun, I feel.

Expectation levels suitably tempered. I'm not even sure where a new entry would go without Murayama, but I'd still be up for it

92 pounds??? How are people just accepting these guide and artbook prices???

I vaguely remember the cartoon, the action figures are more vivid in my memory though. This kind of makes me want a Monsters in my Pocket game

"A lot of these security checks require you to complete a variety of different poses, like opening and closing your mouth"

Ah, so that's why my Psycho Mantis profile didn't work

Started a mage run in Demon's Souls. I've always had a plan to try and complete the entire Soulsborne series using only magic. Looks like it's begun

@Oram77 It's not like I even dislike any of it. I'm always entertained when I sit down to watch anything Marvel or Star Wars. But sweet jesus it's just too much

Looks like a cool thing to have for fans of the series. But 70 quid? I'd love to see how much each book costs them to make

Is it possible people are just burned out on Star Wars? The game itself looks good and I plan to play it at some point, but there's only so much of one IP I can take. Feels like Star Wars and Marvel are contantly throwing new stuff at us

@Jrs1 Don't blame you. The new Shinobi is another one that looks awesome

We're in a golden era for retro-styled games. It's like 1994 on steroids

Great game, a lovely game to play through and take your time.

In hindsight I probably shouldn't have bothered 100%-ing it, as the busywork took some of the shine off the experience. I'm hoping the sequel will take a more freefrom approach to side activities

Started Cyberpunk this week. It's all a bit overwhelming, but it's also very good

Time travel confirmed

I picked a good time to start playing this game. Started it last night. Only played two hours but it's good so far

@Flaming_Kaiser You make an interesting point, maybe I'll put a couple up for adoption

I'll definitely be playing Cyberpunk at last. Can't believe it's nearly been half a decade since it came out.

6% voting for Bluey at the time of writing. What an absolute G that dog is.

Might start Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, or maybe carry on with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

I'll also have a go at Astro Bot, the game that keeps on giving.

Now I just need an excuse to buy extra controllers. Time to have more children I guess.

Looks like I'll finally be playing Cyberpunk then

This is how all rally games look when I close my eyes. I played way too much Colin McRae and Sega Rally back in the day

My girlfriend left the Switch at mine so it's Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart time. I've never played BotW before and it's a great game. Playstation controls are just so ingrained in my mind that I can't get used to anything else. So I keep pressing the wrong buttons.

Meanwhile I'm carrying on with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order where I know how to hit people.

You don't get to be a cult favourite for nothing. He had that tenacious quality that made him liked by all fans, no matter who they support. But putting football aside, it's just plain sad news. Hopefully Sony will answer the call on this one

Normally I'd be starting to feel ready for next gen by now, but I just don't have any appetite for ps6 yet at all. Feel like my ps5 is only just getting going

@Kidfunkadelic83 @lazarus11 I lived in the town for quite a few years. Not many things would push me towards Xbox, but making anyone from Blackpool Sony's ambassador would probably do it.

As long as he doesn't try and broadcast any preview footage while he's up there. Because in space no-one can hear you stream.

I wouldn't like to be his dog when he finds out

Read that as "Blackpool's Lisa" for a moment. Somehow I'm even more clueless having read it properly.

@Northern_munkey Don't use it for the games you want. Use it for the games you're maybe kind of curious about. Then, in a year's time when you would have forgotten about them, they go on sale for a couple of quid and you go "oh yeah, I'll give that a go"

As others have said, I find the wishlist good for keeping an eye on games that I want to play but I'm not in a rush to get to. The notifications for when they go on sale are handy.

But I'm not into developers telling us to "wishlist" games like it's a verb all of a sudden. Can't get behind that.

@playstation1995 @Northern_munkey Have you listened to Chuck D's new album? He's still doing his own thing, bloke's off his rocker in the best possible way

@Tdx I read it!

Don't sleep on Nioh 2, I enjoyed the first game but the second one was another level for me. Some people are the other way round so it'd be interesting to see how it lands for you.

I'm still not quite sure what I thought of the Nioh 3 demo but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

"The pelvis is basically like a bowl to hold the intestine"

@TheKurgan Maybe that was the next boss...?

Conscious I've been playing lots of Elden Ring and Sniper Elite recently, so I'm making an effort to play some things I've never played before.

Starting with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It's ace so far.

"You'll encounter some very creepy scenes, monsters, and set pieces. Oh, and a penis"

Erm, what?

"But we realized that it wasn't what fans wanted to see or play"

Finally a developer gets it

I've not played it, I put it on the back burner after seeing spoilers and didn't get around to it. I've only seen the show.

I get what they were going for and I like that they had the balls to do it. But my big problem with the show is that when you have a core duo that relies on each other so much for character development and you kill one of them off, you also kill off half of the other character and they don't have the same growth any more.

The show has made me interested to play the game and see if I've got the same issues with it.

@Blaze215 Yeah I'm certain from what I've read. Like I say, I'm not just talking about since 1901. There's a whole host of verified and accredited scientific papers here:

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/95JD03410

Some of them are heavy going, I'm not going to lie, and I don't pretend to be an expert. But I've worked in and around this stuff from time to time, as part of the work my company does. There's an orgy of evidence here and it's the most depressing orgy I've ever seen

EDIT: I should say, open the 'references' tab in that link. Those are what I'm referring to, alongside the primary study

@Blaze215 Right, but the Little Ice Age (which is a misnomer because there wasn't any new ice knocking about) wasn't caused by man, and it was only relatively localised, affecting just the northern hemisphere. And it only lasted for the blink of an eye in comparison to the proper, genuine ice ages the earth has seen.

What the boffins are saying is that the change in temperature we've seen in the last 200 years or so is comparable with actual global changes occuring over massive spans of time, like tens of thousands of years. And there's more co2 in the atmosphere that at any point in the last million years. That's some bad s***

@DaveTheRave Okay yeah, but I guess the counter is what if Yellowstone doesn't throw a wobbly? Cos that's not something we can control, whereas man's impact on the climate is.

I agree with you in that we shouldn't worry about what we can't control, but we can still have a crack at the things we can.

@DaveTheRave Sorry no I meant the accelerated warming in the last 100 years or so. It's always happened in the past, but it's been quicker recently.

You could be onto something with the farting cows lol

@DaveTheRave What else would you put it down to?

@thefourfoldroot1 I get what you're saying. I'm not saying it's the end of the earth as a functioning planet.

I just think whenever I see someone say "the planet has always gone through cycles of heating up and cooling down", I think there's a responsibility to point out that it's happening quicker and that's why so many people talk about climate change. A lot of younger people probably visit this site, and the more impressionable among them might be fooled by that comment into thinking it's business as usual for the planet.

@thefourfoldroot1 Geology is the study of the planet Earth, so I'd argue it's a geological issue. Those other factors do come into it though, certainly. Although that's probably diverting the conversation down a different route.

The planet is going through its warming/cooling cycle quicker than usual and it's always worth pointing that out, because there's always people saying "oh well the planet always changes". Well yeah, but not this quick. Hence all the research, hand wringing etc.

@Unsilenceable Yes but recent cycles of warming and cooling have been massively quicker, that's what's causing the worry

There's a fifth entry in the series? And it's available on a Playstation console? Why haven't I heard about this?
