@EYEBALL i still like to visit PX now and again just to keep up with the news and thats the think im seeing quite a bit. Why own an xbox when you can get 1 console to play them all (sounds like a Lord of the rings pun)
Great to see Ridge Racer coming to PS5. Personally i prefer its rebellious brother tho, Rage Racer. Its like 2 siblings. One thats as good as an angel that everyone likes and then the one with attitude that answers back and goes and gets a tattoo without his parents permission ๐
I can see it from some xbox owners pov that xbox is giving up alot of its first party exclusives and "losing their identity" but MS are literally rubbing their hands all the way to the bank releasing on PS5, especially if they continue with day and date first party like they are doing with Doom, COD and Oblivion. Halo will be soon and Gears of war is where i will bite. Not at their RRP asking prices tho.
Balatro is the only one im interested in this month and as ive just cancelled my renewal of PS plus (dont play online alot) i will just buy it. Its cheap enough anyway and then i get to olay it all the time as opposed to when my sub is running.
I was going to download this and try it out as ive heard alot of positivity surrounding it (apart from the latest update) . Is it the kind of game i can play and enjoy without my wife thinking im a perv playing a game starring scantily clad minors?
3-400 people? Christ on a bike thats alot of people to just dump outside in the cold. Its not as though EA dont make enough wedge off their sports games. Lets all hope they find jobs soon, preferably for a better company than EA. To be honest that shouldnt be too hard really... unless they all end up at UBI.
As aomeone thats never bothered with any F2P game which would be the best to dip my toe in to? The problem is i usually just write them off upon announcement as i dont really like the practice of pay to win/advance, endless grinding to feel im making any progress etc. Thanks.
@Ravix yeah ithink the Oblivion shadow drop got a few people exited and really helped shift some copies a few days before CO released. Hopefully the fantastic reviews for CO help it shift some good copies. Oblivion might not be for me but i can still appreciate the work that went in to bringing it back with a fresh skin.
Well ive got both and really haven't gelled with Oblivion at all so will be booting up CO tonight to see if it holds my attention more than Oblivion has. Ive got a feeling that it will.
Good to see the mutual respect being shown here tho.
@Mintie lucky you. All our phonelines and systems have gone down at work for over an hour now so im sittling here, twiddling my thumbs wishing i could finish early and go home but its not even arrived yet. Hope you enjoy it buddy.
Took advantage of DMC HD trilogy and Overcooked all you can eat edition to play with the wife. Few others id grab but after buying Oblivion and Clair Obscur and an 800 quid car bill i just didnt dare ๐
I just cant get in to it. Got out the sewers, done a couple of quests, closed a portal that was blocking the entrance to a fort but it didnt look like anywhere i was discovering on the top compass was adding to the map and the towns i went in just felt void of any life. I also dont understand how the levelling system works. How do i know how much xp i need to get to the next lvl and how do i get xp? I understan the raising individual skill levels is done by using those skills tho, sneaking, swimming etc. Id sure like Skyrim to look as good as this tho.
@Mintie nice one. Lets home Amazon dont F up the deliveries. I will be dropping Oblivion to play this as i really havnt got on with it at all thus far.
Thought id take a punt on it as i got a ยฃ50 voucher from shopto.net for ยฃ45 and had ยฃ5 in vouchers so it only cost me ยฃ40. Performance defenately seemes the way to go as i could tell the difference when flicking between the 2, despite my LG C1 stating both were hitting 59fps ๐ค. I still dont get the levelling system as im still lvl1 after about 3 hours of play, killing plent of enemy, discovering locations and doing a few quests. Im guessing its not like skyrim where you get XP for stuff like that. So far it seems ok. Defenately not as vibrant as i remember.
I will be continuing my playthrough of the Devil may cry HD trilogy. Currently half way through the first game. Probarbly a bit of Overcooked with the wife later too but we usually end up arguing when we play it ๐. May try to squeeze in a bit of switch time too.
Struggled with this game due to the depth and complexity. I never truly knew what i was doing and why i was doing it with regards to battles. I would just pick an attack and hope it paid off. Im going to have to give it another go tho.
As someone that dabbles in RPGs but doesnt claim to be good, i found this game so difficult to get in to and play. Maybe now the final patch is out i will give it a whirl again.
@AdamNovice this might be a good way to try and transition people to buy digital. I try and go physical whenever possible but i would contemplate more digital if this bad boy was in the mix.
Wish they would just make a single player RPG that looks this good. Graphically looks really nice but the gatcha just puts me off. Not sure id feel comfortable playing this infront of my wife tho. I mean, i dont mind a bit of "jiggle" to my characters but i like them to atleast look of age ๐ฌ
PGA is a really good game. Im not a fan of any sports games and this game hooked me to the platinum and beyond. 160 something hours on it now. I even got my wife playing it but i had to put a stop to that when she started beating me. Fantastic game just to relax to.
I know its not the be all and end all but it would have been nice if a platinum was included. Im not a trophy hunter but if a plat is obtainable without heavy grinding, multiple play throughs or rediculous difficulty i like to have a go at it. I will still grab this game tho, just not right now.
Id like another Wipeout but going back to basics to the actual racing instead of throwing time trials, eliminator and zone laps in to the single player.
@Fishmasterflex96 i dont chief. Im android. Its usually cheap enough. Might grab it on the switch. Looks like the kind of game i would play in bed too.
