@Jett Yeah I played San Andreas towards the end of last year and didn't have any major problems with it, certainly nothing to impact the experience.

I enjoyed being back in that world again.

I've heard GTA III is the best-running of the three remasters. I'll definitely give that a go

Not had as much time for gaming recently, so I've decided to have a bit of a PS5 weekend.

I got up early this morning and played some Elden Ring, and now I'm watching my son play Elite Dangerous. Might have some Dark Souls III later, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is sitting there looking at me, begging to be started.

Damn I was hoping the Farrelly brothers would get the gig

I bought this early because my son was mithering me to get it, it's his favourite game. I've only put about six hours in, so I've not seen any technical issues yet. My son has seen a few but nothing as bad as what's been reported by some. Nevertheless, a patch is way overdue by this stage.

I do remember having to play around the bugs when I played Fallout 3. The game remembers everything, even if you move a random item an inch. So the more you're in that world, the more the game has to do. These games get worse the more you play. The fact they've not bothered to address the issues means I'd think twice about paying full whack for a Fallout 3 remaster.

Sleeping Dogs for under a fiver is borderline ridiculous. Buy it and play it if you haven't already

I'll take it but I'd much prefer a 2D game. Origins and Legends were ace

@lindos @StandardMario This isn't progress, nor is it art. It's people talking to a Star Wars baddie in Fortnite.

AI can be used as a tool for progress, definitely. But what sort of jackass wants to talk to a fictional character? Surely that misses the point of fiction? And of all the fictional characters you could choose from across all works of fiction, Darth Vader? Come on.

EDIT: In fairness, I can see the appeal of talking to Sherlock Holmes when my car gets nicked

I'm guessing those who are okay with this are the kind of people who use words like "brand" in casual conversation

Should really carry on Oblivion but I'll probably just end up on Elden Ring

@somnambulance that is the single best reason I've ever heard for a replay of Red Dead II

I spotted some sand in the trailer, during a shot of a beach. If you take the letter 'd' off 'sand', what do you get...?

We're going back to San Andreas, people!

The new game has double the budget of Borderlands 3? Does that mean they actually hired writers this time?

All the recent GTA noise has got me wanting to download GTA V again and just mess about in that world.

I'm going to try and resist for as long as possible though, I've got Sniper Elite Resistance to finish up. These nazi testicles aren't going to pop themselves.

Yeah I'm looking foward to this one a lot, I'm hoping for a more grown-up story this time around and it looks like we might be getting that.

@rjejr I think the PS5 version of GTA V possibly has a first-person mode. Might want to check that, but I seem to remember it being one of the selling points of the upgrade.

I'm almost scared to try Balatro. I quite like my social life.

Playing Oblivion Remastered and I've already got further than I did back in the day. Don't know why it never clicked but it's clicking now.

Nope, works better for me if anything

@Northern_munkey Haha I'll bear that in mind. Could almost buy an real live old banger at that rate

Yeah people who've tried it swear by them. I've always meant to grab one but there's always been something else to buy, you know? I'll get one at some point.

Come on Sony, we're not asking for new games and remakes. Just keep the little guy in the picture at least.

@Jrs1 Well played

@Northern_munkey Well someone's got to promote it! When people talk about immersion in gaming, I think of Dirt Rally. And I've only ever played it with a controller, god knows what it's like with a wheel

Delay's no problem for me. This will take me into the World Cup nicely

@Northern_munkey Dirt Rally 2.0 is one of the highlights of last gen for me. Massively, massively underrated game

Where's the option for:

"I like Borderlands and am always willing to give a new game a shot, but the third one was absolute bobbins and made me want to shove razor blades under my fingernails just to take my mind off the writing, so now I'm a bit wary"

Feel free to change the wording on that.

From what I've seen it looks like they might have dialled back the obnoxiousness and returned to what made the first one so good. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I've got this downloading today while I'm at work and I'm looking forward to actually giving it a proper go. I didn't really bother with it much first time around.

My eldest loves it and can't wait to play it, he's been mithering me to death for this

I have no interest in this game, I just wanted to express my appreciation for "Quack the case".

Trotting through Raya Academy in Elden Ring, an area I usually rush through. There are quite a few secrets I'd forgotten about or just outright missed. I've been taking my time and it's been quite relaxing, apart from everyone I meet trying to kill me.

Started Blue Prince properly yesterday and it's a clever little game. Probably not for everyone but me and the kids are having a laugh with it. It helps that I went in purposefully avoiding any info about it.

Hopefully it doesn't take some really sinister turn and scar the children for life, that would teach me.

Elden Ring, Sniper Elite Resistance, and I'll be checking out The Blue Prince too

I've got fond memories of Rime. This is very sad to see, but if it helps people move forward then I guess it is what it is.

Played A Short Hike last night, got to the "end" in one sitting but there's plenty more to be done.

A bit of Elden Ring in between, for when I fancy a bit more jeopardy about my explorations.

I'd like to see the Portal games brought together in one package

I had a Sega Saturn at the time, and wanted this game for Christmas. However the Saturn release was delayed until the new year and I never got it. Had to content myself with the demo at my mate's house. Now, finally, all these years later, I can live my dream of owning Croc.

Started Kena last week, that seems fun. Also carrying on with Sniper Elite Resistance, while Elden Ring and Dark Souls III hang around in tbe background

Not sure, I might start Kena given it's got a month left on Extra

Calling the village Wyndham is a nice touch, given the societal sci-fi feel of things.

Right I'll get on Kena then

This game looks like it's going to be a jolly jaunt

I'll give it a go at some point, but only when it goes cheap or PS Plus.

If you'd told me in 2008 that Bethesda were making a space game I'd have been all over it. Got to check it out, just out of curiosity.

Good wholesome nazi-testicle-popping laughs in Sniper Elite Resistance, punctuated with bouts of the cerebral Disco Elysium. I feel like I've achieved a nice life balance.

@Kraven Suikoden II improves on the formula in every way, but the first game certainly has its own feel. They share quite a few characters so it's best just to see them as two parts of a bigger journey. Enjoy!

@nessisonett There's no way Pyramid Head should be in Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta. I can't believe you would even suggest that

@AhmadSumadi Ouch, hope they didn't pay too much for it. At least it goes towards supporting the devs. Good deed for the day!

Yep almost bought Prince of Persia a few weeks back, very happy about that. Not sure about the rest but hey ho

Faith, religion and loneliness have been the main themes of many great sci-fi films. I believe gaming is an equally valid medium to film, but we need big themes to prove that.

Not all games of course, there's still room for fun. But otherwise we'll eternally be seen as sweaty lumps playing CoD in a darkened room, eating Pringles and ogling Lara Croft's boobs. And personally I only enjoy one of those things.

Mutated Alfred Wainwright boss battle or I'm out

This has been a problem for a while, but things have come to a head with Stroke the Dik-Dik

I wish they'd gone a bit further - parity between menus/systems as mentioned in the review, iron out some translation wrinkles, maybe add the Saturn content to Sui I (although that might not be easy from a developer point of view).

But I shouldn't complain. I'm still looking forward to playing through these again at some point.

@Migoshuro I agree to an extent. The new backgrounds jar a little with the sprites and possibly lose some of the character. I'm hoping it will look better when I'm playing it and I'll soon get used to it

@johncalmc Definitely play Sui II if you can find time for it! Properly great game

@nessisonett Happy to be of service

Wasn't expecting this. Not really for me, but if there's a plus side, maybe it would up our chances of a proper Suikoden sequel if it does well?

My gut feeling is it's a quick cash-in designed to raise the profile of the brand in time for the remasters, but we'll see.

Yeah this looks ace. Any chance of the steelbook by itself without all the gubbins? I'm good for premium metal paperweights.
