Didn’t realise solos get placed with other solos (but not guaranteed). That’s how I play most of the time and it’s been incredibly refreshing not to get into a gunfight at the first sign of other players. It’s much less hostile than other games. The price of skins is immaterial to me - never gonna buy one.
Sad for the studio but Just Cause 4 lost the plot and got too carried away with gimmicks (e.g. weather systems). I’d be happy with a remake of JC 3 - one of my all time favourite games.
It’s a bit fiddly but replacing the battery on the current controllers takes all of 10 minutes and costs around £8-£20 depending on the capacity of battery you want to get.
@Westernwolf4 Same. For some reason 2 just didn’t click like the first one and I gave up on it after a while. Hard to pinpoint what it was but didn’t have the same… something.
I preordered it and I’m a little disappointed. It’s just a big, expensive DLC. New levels but zero addition to the game mechanics. Even the character models of the Germans look identical.
I fancied playing hitman 3 last night and being one of the very few PlayStation 5 games I actually own on disk, having the disc drive whir up and make a terrible noise throughout the game was very very distracting.
Finally managed to log in, but my favourite game is “ error decoding lambda response: error decoding lambda response: unexpected end of JSON input” apparently. Don’t recall that one.
I had to restart the tree trunk level as I had 2 music tracks playing simultaneously and the enemies up in the sky were glitching out. Thought I was going nuts for a moment.
@BolkaRover Nope, Timesplitters was one of the first games I bought on the PS2 and I suspect I’m probably older than you. It’s called having an opinion.
Edit: “ I’m 40 and don’t have time to play that often…” I was right.
Was discussing it with a friend who had played it too. We both agreed we couldn’t think of a single new thing it brought to the table. It’s ok, just the same as all the others.
@SJR too true. I’ve been playing online with the same 3 mates for nearly 2 decades and it’s hard work to convince them all to shell out £70 on a new title that might be crap. This was a far easier sell.

Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for November 2025 Leaked
@MrPeanutbutterz sadly true
Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for November 2025 Leaked
You’d think they’d want to stay out of the public eye for a while.
Re: GTA London Will Remain a One-Off, as the Series Needs Guns and American Culture, Says Dan Houser
@Jammer I guess you never actually spend much time in London.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Tipped to Take Off on PS5 This November
Day 1 or 360ish (depending on how you look at it) for me.
Re: New Dying Light 2 PS5, PS4 Patch Has Completely Changed the Game
@Westernwolf4 Same. For some reason 2 just didn’t click like the first one and I gave up on it after a while. Hard to pinpoint what it was but didn’t have the same… something.
Re: New PS5 Beta Firmware Update Out 24th July, Includes Teased Controller Feature
@Rich33 planning ahead for a handheld that will utilise this feature perhaps?

Re: Warzone Brings Back Fan-Favourite Verdansk Map on 3rd April
Just bring back support for DMZ.
Re: Preview: Atomfall Proves a Must-Play Mystery on PS5, PS4
Would explain why Sniper Elite 6 was just an expensive DLC - all the team’s efforts were going into this.
Re: Rumour: Far Cry Multiplayer Shooter Has Been 'Rebooted' as Ubisoft Turmoil Continues
@N1ghtW1ng amen. I’ll even take the jamming guns. Nothing beats the African drums soundtrack of that game.
Re: Talking Point: Is PSVR2 Worth Buying In 2025?
@Deljo that’s what I don’t understand- It was way cheaper last year.
Re: Poll: Would You Buy a PS5 Mouse Accessory?
I don’t have a gaming PC so mouse support for 7 Days to Die would be very welcome.
Re: Sniper Elite: Resistance (PS5) - Much More of a Good Thing
I preordered it and I’m a little disappointed. It’s just a big, expensive DLC. New levels but zero addition to the game mechanics. Even the character models of the Germans look identical.
Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Lines Up a Deeper Swing System for PS5
I love these games and have put in countless hours, but seriously, how can the characters still look this bad?
Re: Rumour: Halo: The Master Chief Collection Coming to PS5 This Year
If flight sim comes to PlayStation, I can finally close that tab on the MS website hovering around the buy now button of an Xbox. Happy days.
Re: The State of the UK's Physical Games Market Might Explain PS5 Pro's Lack of Disc Drive
I fancied playing hitman 3 last night and being one of the very few PlayStation 5 games I actually own on disk, having the disc drive whir up and make a terrible noise throughout the game was very very distracting.
Re: Rumour: The Far Cry Series May Finally Be Switching Things Up in Next Two Games
@Oram77 fellow phsyco - FC2 was the don. The soundtrack and atmosphere was 👌🏻
Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2024 Available Now, See Your Gaming Stats for This Year
Finally managed to log in, but my favourite game is “ error decoding lambda response: error decoding lambda response: unexpected end of JSON input” apparently.
Don’t recall that one.

Not working for me - just see the splash screen and no login.
Re: Video: Over 60 of the Most Essential PS5 Games So Far
@Feffster good shout - superb game.
Re: Round Up: Indiana Jones Reviews Are Live, Mostly Very Strong
I’m pleased - it looked decent in the trailers but they can be deceiving. Will probably pick it up when it comes to the PlayStation.
Re: PS5 Home Screen Customisable with PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 Themes for the 30th Anniversary
That unexpected PS1 start screen just brought a tear to my eye. Love it.

Re: 17 Games Land on PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
@Jayslow it’s a great tactic to get all the soon-to-be new console owners at Christmas signed up the PS+.
Re: This Time Next Year, You Could Be Playing GTA 6 on Your PS5
I got sent a long questionnaire from Rockstar last night asking about opinions on GTA online. Clearly gathering feedback for what to do in 6.
Re: PS5's New Welcome Page Rolling Out to UK Accounts
I like the UX of the ‘move’ function. Very nicely designed and implemented.

@BolkaRover Nope, Timesplitters was one of the first games I bought on the PS2 and I suspect I’m probably older than you. It’s called having an opinion.

Re: Rumour: Xbox to Announce a 'Big' Game Coming to PS5 at Gamescom
Would give me left leg for it to be Flight Simulator. It won’t be, but you can hope.
Re: 15 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for August 2024
Sony having a rifle through the drawers in the office and clearing out the dross.

Re: Ubisoft Free-to-Play Shooter XDefiant Is Actually Off to a Strong Start
