Are these the guys who also made Son and Bone? Because the dino animations in that weren’t great. I mean the game as a whole was one repetitive slog so I have no hope for this!

@StitchJones You do realise he is talking about those bug fix patches. For the last decade or so it has been said to wait a while before purchasing a new game until it has been patched. So yes, you should be used to waiting by now if you want the best version. Only difference here is the update will cater to a small majority and the game was bug free and perfectly optimised at launch. So you shouldn’t really complain because this is the best kind of patch in the grand scheme of things imo.

They did what the Pro promised at launch. ‘Quality mode’ graphics (or better in this case) and a smooth ‘performance mode’ 60fps. The fact they decided to go beyond that after the game was released doesn’t mean it was released unfinished, that’s ridiculous.

Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 at the moment and it’s such a great game! Nicely challenging too and it looks graphically impressive!

I do plan to play this one day. if it’s on sale I’ll pick it up.

I’ve been really happy so far. I’ve enjoyed most of Sony’s exclusives but it would be stupid to rate this generation solely on the lack of them because there have been some amazing third party AAA and indie games imo.

I shall be continuing Fallout 4 which I’m loving. Especially exploring the world and doing all the side quests. Hopefully finish it as well.

Problem is I went spending crazy (Stupid sale) and bought a load of games

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Croc: Legend of the gobbos
Total Chaos
Forever Skies
Dollmare
Cubic Odyssey
Fast & Furious Arcade

So I have a nice selection of games to play next! The question is, which one!

I really enjoyed the demo and will probably pick it up at some point

Looking forward to playing it when I get home from work!

I will be continuing with Fallout 4 and also playing Coral Island and Borderlands 4 Co-op. No doubt be playing more Arc Raiders as well!

@1970sGamer From what I’ve heard, the AI voices are for the ping system, which makes sense to me seeing as they can continuously add new areas, items and enemies without getting the voice actors back every time. I think the review blows it somewhat out of proportion though because paid actors were hired for the AI to learn from and they knew what they were signing up for.

I also think that if they didn’t use AI they would have used generic lines like "Over there” and “I found this”, which would still result in a single recording session for the voice actors anyways, so it’s not like anyone is losing out.

I’ve been proper addicted to this game that it’s stopped me playing much single player. A quick game can easily lead to 2 hours. If you want a chilled back experience then solos is where it’s at as 99% of players are friendly. Play in a squad of three though and it’s pretty much gloves off. Spent all last night being shot at by most players.

Im currently playing through it for the first time and loving it. The combat is satisfying, the world is great to explore and so far I’ve been enjoying all the quests whether they are from the main story or just off some random person I happened to walk by. There’s not a lot of games out there that are this immersive. You can turn off the lights, crank the volume up on your headset and get sucked into the world. That is how story driven games should be and in my opinion, Bethesda do it very well.

@GirlVersusGame I’m really interested in this game. How is the performance so far on PS5?

I’ve decided to finally play Fallout 4 so that’s my single player game sorted for the next month. Problem is I’ve been addicted to ARC Raiders which is taking up most of my time at the moment. It’s even stopped me playing Battlefield 6, which was supposed to be my long term multiplayer game!

I’ll have to give this a try. Didn’t realise the Queen was guarding decent loot. I played last night and it’s definitely the most aggressive players have been. Everyone was shooting us on sight. I just can’t bring myself to shoot first!

@StitchJones I don’t get this complaint. The whole point of the game is risk verses reward. You risked staying out for 30minutes and got killed. It’s gonna happen. Maybe stick to shorter runs until you get better gear.

Tried it last night and enjoyed what I played. I’m not used to Battle Royales though so the time it takes to down a player was a little surprising. The map seems pretty decent though except for a few houses where I kept on falling through the floor. Disappointed you can’t go in solo either.

@Balaam_ If anything a trophy list is supposed to add challenges and extra incentives for people who enjoy a game. For the players who want to spend their time playing it. That’s the whole point of them. Not some easy checklist you can bang out in a night.

@WobberleyBob I’ve always found COD to be a great bite size multiplayer experience. Something to play when you have an hour to kill. Just hop into TDM and you can get a fair few rounds in. Battlefield is more of an evening multiplayer experience. Games take much longer and you actually have to put more thought into how you play and can get more immersed. So there’s definitely room to enjoy both in my opinion.

I’ll be finishing up my play through of Deathloop which is a really good game. I went into it not knowing if I’d actually enjoy it but it turns out I do!

@tameshiyaku I don’t know how they’re gonna do it tbh. Because they’ve got flying and underwater exploration to think about.

It frustrates the hell out of me, but I also really enjoy it. I think it’s gonna make most MP games feel pretty dull now due to how hectic it is. 8/10 for me, but I hope they add some more larger maps.

I finished Bye Sweet Carole last night so I’ll be playing through Finding Paradise next as I didn’t get a chance to start it last week.

I’ll probably beat that in one sitting so I plan to move on to a game from my backlog after. At the moment I’m thinking about Deathloop, which I got for £7.99 in one of the sales.

Also Coral Island co-op later tonight and hopefully some Borderlands 4 co-op tomorrow night.

I might also do some side stuff in Expedition 33 as well if I can find the time and also jump into a couple games on the Arc Raiders server slam.

Lastly, I’ll probably chuck on some Overwatch 2 later tonight after some drinks.

That’s one less game to buy I suppose. Or maybe I’ll give Outer Worlds 2 a try instead.

I’ll definitely get it on sale one day though as I have enjoyed janky games before. Alpha Protocol comes to mind. Loved that game.

I’ve been wanting to play the PS5 version of Until Dawn but couldn’t justify buying it, so this is good for me atleast.

Part 3 is probably one of my most anticipated games. Nostalgia definitely played a huge part in me enjoying the first two so much. Getting to Cosmo Canyon and seeing it in full 3D with the music kicking in… loved it.

Playing through the single player campaign right now and it’s surprisingly decent. Be jumping back into the multiplayer mode later tonight! Great so far!

Too much!

I’m playing the Battlefield 6 campaign and Expedition 33 during the day today with possibly some Borderlands 4 co-op this afternoon. Then tonight I’ll be playing some Battlefield 6 Multiplayer with my brothers and hopefully Sea of Theives as well.

Tomorrow I’ll be continuing with Expedition 33 and also playing some Bye Sweet Carole and also (if I have time) starting Finding Paradise, which is the sequel to To the Moon.

Busy weekend!

Edit: Also, how do I put text into bold?

I loaded up the game and went from 6000 to 0 in about 20 seconds and got in. It’s not that bad.

It’s definitely more fun to play than it is to watch. It’s sort of a mix between old school point and click games and clock tower. Really good so far.

I haven’t really played a military campaign in a while. I stopped playing COD years ago so for me it’ll be a slight change up from what I’ve been playing recently. Hopefully I’ll enjoy it. Obviously MP is the main focus but I was also looking forward to the campaign.

I’ll be playing some CO-OP Coral Island later tonight, which is an amazing game.

Tomorrow I’ll be finishing up Alien Rogue Incursion which even in non VR was really good! Definitely worth £20.

Then later tomorrow night I’ll be playing Borderlands 4 CO-OP which I am loving! There’s so much to do and the open world is fun to explore.

After all that I’ll probably just sit around and wait for Battlefield 6 to be released!

Sounds good to me, though I actually really enjoyed Return to Moria. Usually I tend to only play survival games co-op but I played Moria through to the end on my own.

Alan Wake 2 is a great game. It took a while to click but I enjoyed my play through even though I had no clue what was going on story wise.

Goat Simulator 3 is also good and definitely worth a try. Co-op is a laugh too. Even if you think it’s silly or it isn’t your sort of game I wouldn’t dismiss it seeing as it’s free and you may be pleasantly surprised.

I bought Son & Bone for about £8 and at first I was enjoying it. Now I’m on level 4 of 6/7 and it’s getting too repetitive. The environments are bland and way too large and you don’t really get any sort of rewards for exploring so it’s just alot of running about for nothing. Don’t even get me started on the climbable vines and jumping between them! But I can’t leave a game unfinished so I’ll be playing that to the end.

This trailer gave me a headache

I played it on Quality mode last night because I don’t mind 30fps and after 3 hours I didn’t experience any frame rate drops. I’m sure it will get worse as the game opens up and gets more crazy but so far I’ve been really enjoying the game. And I agree that the open world is a big improvement over the previous games.

Im the idiot rolly pollying everywhere.

What I think is great is that you can get both Hell is Us AND Silksong for the same price as a single AAA game. Slightly cheaper, even.

@Andy22385 He means unobtainable for those who want an easy platinum without the need to put time and practice into it. It’s his thing.

Conscript is actually a really good survival horror game that I recommend. It focuses more on the horrors of war as opposed to zombies or monsters, but it has a similar gameplay style to the original Resident Evil games only with a top down isometric view.

I agree with many of the comments above!
Also I Just played the POOLS demo and I was very impressed by that. Thought Chernobylite was a really good looking game too.

My brother keeps telling me it’s good so I may have to try it one day! Though, he also told me the same thing about Unknown 9 and I didn’t enjoy that game.

Finally getting around to Pacific Drive which I’ve owned for a while now. Was worried I wouldn’t enjoy the gameplay loop but I’m having a blast. Also the rain and storm effects are some of the best I’ve seen.

Also some Coral Island co-op. It’s Basically Stardew with diving. I love it!

It’s a great month. I’ve played two of the three games. Viewfinder is an especially well made puzzle game with great mechanics

@Corc11 it’s Kendo’s line to Claire that I always remember. “Ooooah, sorry about that babe”

Great, now it’s got me thinking how amazing a Mega Man Legends game could be on PS5!

@ECharles Give the demo a try. It’s actually pretty decent. I wouldn’t discount it because a random person told you he thought it was crap.
In my opinion it was definitely more enjoyable then the Lost Souls Aside Demo.

This is a great update. Now all that’s needed are turrets that you can place on your ship that the other players can use!
