They are probably also working hard on new ways to push players to by shark cards or what ever the new will have. As well as further improving their current methods.

Used to think highly of rockstar but they are now one of the worst when it comes to pushing people to buy money and gold. RDR2 online is still bug ridden and it took them months to fix game breaking bugs but only a few days to fix a bug that benefited players as that could have meant players would not buy gold.

None unfortunately nothing released yet that I want to play, did get destruction all-stars and odd-world with PS+ but didn't like those.

@Blue_Rover that was a 2020 game.

@Zuljaras I get why a few people didn't like it but I don't get why after a year some still feel the need to have to continually post the same comments again and again reminding us why they didn't like it every time an article mentions the game, maybe they are somehow trying to justify their dislike, or did the game really piss them off that much?

That people are still debating this game a year on tells you something.

MS was good, Fora Horizon 5 was the stand out looked good fun and the environment is really detailed. Not surprising that DF were praising it so much. Do like Flight Simulator. While Nintendo is not really my cup of tea they showed a lot of games coming this year and ones a lot people are looking forward to so they were good to.

From what Ninja Theory just said and showed looks like Hellblade 2 is way off, said the main actress has been training for 2 years for the combat!

That is one long list, although can't complain I didn't have too many issues with the game. Maybe the shooting arrows from horse should have always been in the game.

@Col_McCafferty wouldn't count Rockstar as good developer anymore, they hardly make any games anymore. And based on how bad their support is for red dead online which is still bug ridden and badly supported and everything they add or change now is aimed at new players and driving them to buy in game currency by putting things behind paywalls.

@Dezzy70 seen a few series s consoles available but the series X sells out as fast as the PS5 doesnin the UK, game, Amazon, shop to etc never have them in stock.

Outer Worlds 2 looks exclusive to Xbox as well, and they had Xbox console exclusive before the new A Plagues Tale games.

November 22, looks like it's only on series X and s and pc.

@lacerz but if I did have a series X and game pass and my PS4 that's still getting all the big Sony exclusives I care I about wouldn't miss anything.

@lacerz what you said makes no sense, why would only one item??

@lacerz you do realise people have different tastes and just because somebody says it's hit doesn't mean I'll like it, I only care about tlou, gow and horizon and they all on PS4 still the rest I don't care about, so far there is no exclusive ps5 games I want to play.

Well if you have a PS4, now that you don't need a Ps5 to play any of the worth while Sony exclusives, the smart choice is get a series X for the Bethesda stuff and all the cross platform games and use the PS4 for the Sony exclusives.

He has a point though you should never have to pay more than once for a game, but if you all seem happy to have Sony try milk you for every cent they can by having you buy the games multiple times. FFVI being a primary example.

I enjoyed it, not the best game ever and not the worst, didn't get too many bugs only the you have to be anonymous one. But I only had the std version and I can't justify paying another 20 to 30 for the season pass for the expansion.

Sounds like they have made getting around the much world easier, allowing you to climb anything then get down easily with the glider.

They do like that Hero Light.

Must be a sad and miserable life to feel the need to still be whining and complaining about a game 12 months on.

Still top of my list. Those elephant machines are straight out of the lord of the rings return of the king movie.

@Dezzy70 To the general gaming population game pass is great option.

At work we noticed the those of us that play games normally have a PS and the the people that don't play games but have kids all have Xboxs because of games pass having all the games their kids play, and when they can get 3 years of it for same price as 3 years of PS+ its a no brainier for them.

@H38 no it was a locked 30fps before this patch.

@Old-Red enjoy, I found grounded to be the best game experience. I need to try complete a perma death run though, not full game though by episode.

@Muttt Those were already there, think they added them in the 2020 version last year.

Wouldn't mind if they just copied the Xbox design lab, they could include the console plates as well.

Red one is more expensive, £65?

@Exlee300p Well BAFTA, IGN hardly small and it won them fair and square, the NPD data is there and confirmed, and the Amazon verified purchase data is there showing 80% liked the game enough to give it 5 stars, confirmed data proving most people that played it liked it.

@Exlee300p NPD data showed it outsold GoT in 2020, just correcting your miss information.

Also your statement that most people didn't like it is also miss information, its won far far more gamer or readers choice awards than any other game like the recent recent BAFTA or the Official PS Blog awards. To be exact it has received 195 Media GOTY awards and 108 Readers GOTY awards.

if so many people dislike it how do you explain that on Amazon for verified purchases over 80% are reviews of 5 stars?

@wiiware well it is always in Amazons top 50 in the UK and over 80% of the reviews there are 5 stars so most people who play it like it as proven when UK gamers recently voted it BAFTA game of the year.

In the US it was the best selling PS exclusive of 2020.

@wiiware sorry to burst your bubble again but its still selling in the markets where sales matter to Sony.

Wasn't Sony's last E3 where they had the TLOU2 barn and then moved everyone to the GOT style theatre, both with live music?

@rpg2000 was about to say the same. Have always thought the switch would have more as physical cartridge sales than digital.

@TrueAssassin86x that doesn't really make sense, 1 death in F1 since 1994, Senna and Ratzenberger deaths.

@Vyns On this one the EE Game of the Year was the player voted category. Best Game was the one voted by Bafta.

@nessisonett Hunting is not the issue, its poaching that is the issue.

Hunting maybe not nice and many people don't like it but is it is a necessary evil. People in 1st world countries need to understand that 3rd world countries can hardly feed them selves let alone worry about conservation and anti poaching, so in lot of cases they have had to turn to hunting as way to to fund these. The Anti Poaching units in Matusadona are 100% funded by hunting and have helped increase amount of animals. Programs like Camp Fire which gives a % of proceeds to local villagers has prevented a lot poaching and snaring because those animals now have a value to local villagers and not just the thing that eats and destroys their crops and they now help protect them. Namibia has used hunting proceeds for conservation and helped push their elephant population from 7500 to over 20000.

I'm not a fan of it but if helps save more animals then I can live with it.

@Col_McCafferty does the epilogue count towards completing RDR2 story line though, people might not complete that?

Guessing if they did win, Sony would just pass the costs onto consumers in some form.

I've started going Digital more and more as using discounted PS Store top up cards is sometimes working out almost the same or cheaper than physical games, and when on a discount in the PS Store its an even bigger saving.

Really enjoyed AC Valhalla so far there have been some minor bugs about 3 times that stopped me completing a quest in 50hours of play. I had to restart the game to fix it, but when it's loading back up fast on ps5 its.

All I'll say for the TLOU2 is I enjoyed it and don't really care if anyone else disliked it.

@Exlee300p strange because it's never left the top 40 best selling PS4 items on Amazon and more than 80% of verified purchase reviews on Amazon are 5 star.

If tanked it would not be the 5th best selling game of 2020 and the best selling PS exclusive of 2020 as shown in the NPD data.

Well deserved and not surprising when actual people that played the game vote.

Very small percentage of people dislike it, if you look at amazon reviews over 80% of verified purchase reviews are 5 stars.

TLOU2, AC Valhalla, Sackboy, Astro playroom and last one to Fall guys

@TheArt If you look at google trends its suggests not many people even know about the The Game Awards itself, probably less than 5% of gamers. I only herd of about it this year because Push Square mentioned it.

Good Going Naughty Dog, and glad Laura Bailey won as she did an incredible job.

They will have to give Druckman another promotion

Top Search in the UK for delivery was Afternoon tea delivery

Easiest one was the Best Accessibility Features = The Last of Us Part II. Whatever you think of the game its accessibility features were incredible and should be then benchmark other studio's copy so that more people can enjoy games.

@Kirbyboy92 Maybe you misunderstood but to clearer, in online communities there is a division because that's where you get people discussing games etc, but these communities like this one are probably less than 5% of people who buy and play games. To the general wider public as with the majority of games whats said and happens in online communities like this is never seen or known about. Things like metacritic as well a lot of people never even herd of it and that why its review score has no impact on its sales either.

If there was some big divide we would not be seeing over 80% reviews on amazon uk being 5 stars and that's verified purchases.

@Texan_Survivor It didn't divide the TLOU fan base in any shape or form, it may appear that way from the discussion in online communities etc but these only make up a fraction of game playing public out there. In reality most people take very little notice of whats said online for any game. Most people that purchased the TLOU2 liked it.

TLOU2 easy choice for me, I found GoT a bit repetitive and lost interest after after act one.

@ApostateMage still happy about this update after what they done with daily challengers and silly price some of stuff is now. I had my streak at 78 days but not played it at all since they stopped that.

pretty clear what their plan was for this, Introduce the new standalone Online only version priced at $5 to entice new players with some new content locked be hind gold bars. Then also reduce every method of making gold in the game so much to make it as difficult as possible so that that they can't afford any of the additional content to effectively force them into buying gold bars by locking things behind gold bars.
