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
@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
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
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
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

I thought this was a Shenmue 4 announcement for a split second

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: 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

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

Got to love August.

@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.

Thank you for this information, I'm off to do that right now
Re: Once Upon a Katamari Brings the Series Back with a Brand New Game on PS5
@Czar_Khastik Don't forget to read the accompanying novel
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025 Announced
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
Re: Tencent's Take on Horizon Would Have Taken Aloy to Asia
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.
Re: Lengthy Suikoden Livestream Announced for Next Week
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

Re: Hype Inducing 90s-Style Brawler Toxic Crusaders Drops 4th December on PS5, PS4
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

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

Re: Sony's Not Done Finding New Ways to Sell You The Last of Us
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
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Reportedly Cancelled, Will Stay in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
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

Re: PS5, PS4 Retro Shooter Neon Inferno Really Doesn't Need to Look This Awesome
@Jrs1 Don't blame you. The new Shinobi is another one that looks awesome
Re: PS5, PS4 Retro Shooter Neon Inferno Really Doesn't Need to Look This Awesome
We're in a golden era for retro-styled games. It's like 1994 on steroids
Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?
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
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590
Started Cyberpunk this week. It's all a bit overwhelming, but it's also very good

Re: Two Jaw-Dropping Limited Edition Ghost of Yotei PS5 Consoles Announced
@Flaming_Kaiser You make an interesting point, maybe I'll put a couple up for adoption
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2025?
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.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
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.
Re: Two Jaw-Dropping Limited Edition Ghost of Yotei PS5 Consoles Announced
Now I just need an excuse to buy extra controllers. Time to have more children I guess.
Re: 10 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for July 2025
Looks like I'll finally be playing Cyberpunk then
Re: Old School Rally Recaptures Those Classic Colin McRae Vibes on PS5, PS4
