My nephew is into this. He asked me to watch it with him the other day, but he was already halfway through, so I had no idea what was going on. It was pretty trippy if I'm honest
EDIT I've just realised this reads like a senile person's film review
All depends on the backlog. With Shinobi to finish, Silksong, Still Wakes the Deep and Sui II remaster still on my list to play, I'm not going to get to Ghost of Yotei at release unless it jumps the queue. So that might push Nioh 3 back.
Loved 1, 2 and the Pre-sequel. But after 3, I can't chance going back to the series, just in case. There's no way I can risk anything that unfunny in my life ever again, it was almost painful
@Simon_Fitzgerald your list of 'cons' is slowly growing as you progress through the game. I feel like you could be a broken man by the time that final review score drops, and the extent of your mental breakdown will tell us exactly what we're in for with this game. You're providing a public service, sir.
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"

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2025?
Cocoon has been sat on my wishlist in the PS Store for ages. Looking forward to it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
Shinobi Art of Vengeance is done, although I might keep coming back for a crack at the boss rush.
Suikoden II remaster next, one of my favourite games ever. I'm looking forward to taking my time with this as the nights draw in.
Happy 600 and have a nice weekend everybody.

Looking forward to the new Manager Career mode in the next FIFA.
No more awkward questions at those pesky press conferences.

Re: Nioh 3 PS5 Release Date Leaks Ahead of State of Play

It's a good problem to have!
EDIT oh yeah and Crow Country for Halloween
Re: Silent Hill F (PS5) - Brutal Survival Horror Walks a New Path
@LiamCroft Cheers for the review!
I've got a quick question - why is it called Silent Hill F?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599
Still plugging away at Shinobi, I think the next level is the final one. This game is excellent
Re: Sony's Still Not Doing Anything with Bloodborne, It's Claimed
@ButWhy maybe for the first ten minutes. But then you just get used to it and it's fine
I'm not saying it's buttery smooth but come on, it's not exactly a hardship
Re: Sony's Still Not Doing Anything with Bloodborne, It's Claimed
Sony could have had Bluepoint working on it all this time. But I kind of like that Bloodborne was a one-and-done thing.
They don't massively need to revisit it. The game is still playable and still brilliant.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2025?
Only Crow Country for me, although that justifies this month's asking price I guess. I'll be playing it for Halloween if I can fit it in
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
Probably about halfway through Shinobi. It's a game to be savoured
Re: Add Sapporo Beer's Iconic Logo to Atsu's Arsenal in Ghost of Yotei
"Sapporo’s original brewmaster and the hero in Ghost of Yotei both experience defiance, discovery, and artistry to re-write their fates"
I can barely tell their stories apart, they're so similar
Re: Rare PS5 DualSense Controller Worth $1,300 'Completely Destroyed' in Transit
@PlushiePlushie Evri would probably point out that it can't arrive damaged if it doesn't arrive at all
Re: Rare PS5 DualSense Controller Worth $1,300 'Completely Destroyed' in Transit
I'm not familiar with PostNL, are Nintendo Life doing deliveries now? If so, this blatant attack is a new low in the console war
Re: Round Up: Borderlands 4 Reviews All on PC, No PS5 Verdicts Anywhere
Good to see the staff at Radio Times getting stuck into some shooting and looting
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
I got one around mid-gen after my mate went away to Hong Kong for two weeks and lent me his to look after.
Best memories? Silent Hill, MGS, those Net Yaroze games, Suikoden, Worms... and those glorious game boxes, like CD cases on steroids
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2025 Announced
Crow Country is a good Halloween add
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Difficulty to Be Toned Down Following Player Feedback
I can't wait to complete the game on this new difficulty and then tell everyone I platinumed it on release day
Re: Rumour: PS6 Will Have a Detachable Disc Drive, Much Simpler Design
Hopefully this doesn't mean Sony detach the disc drive before they sell the console

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597

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 ÂŁ16.75 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: Preview: The Outer Worlds 2 Doubles Down on RPG Gameplay to Great Effect
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
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: 'There's No Real Need for a PS6': Industry Veteran Weighs in on Next-Gen Debate

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!
