Seems better in every way so far after what I’ve played loving it all over again. Not encounter 1 bug so far. Seems very polished

I got the Platinum for it on release and never played it since. I bought it on disc so if that £10 upgrade works for me I’ll day 1 it….Loved this game when it came out, only gripe for me is I remember the motorbike handling being appalling at the start of the game but got vaguely enjoyable once upgraded. I remember once you unlock the Tommy gun looking weapon the game just went easy.

@LiamCroft Did they state how long the battery life is on it yet…charge time etc? Cheers

@Reform I know this is late but you can pick one up from Very for £540 if that helps at all 12 months but now pay later

Who owns blizzard? Only Sony has issues🙄

@Gamer_Guy
The devs said the 3 button swing will be released soon in a patch as an option as they believe there is enough potential owners of the game to that would prefer this option to warrant the addition 👍

@McBurn Xbox series x does get ray tracing.
The xbox series s does not.

@Amusei yes it is similar but very different also. The first 3 Suikodens are class old school rpgs with a lot of their own mechanics that stand them apart from the final fantasy’s. In suikoden 2 you can import your hero from suikoden 1 to join your army which was a cool touch as none of the characters or story follow on with each other.

@belmont
Yeah third game was never released in Europe for some reason.
It is fantastic too. 4 and 5 were meh 😒

@Nekomichu I do know that any unused codes for time bought on ps plus or ps now will work but finding/buying working codes is another story. You’d have more chance finding hens teeth. I’ve heard Sony are not currently letting people purchase ps now separately atm until the merger but I can’t confirm that personally as it’s not something I personally own or have tried.

@MatthewJP shop to have stopped selling ps plus… I bought ps plus 12 month from shopto yesterday for £41.99. It turned out to be just to be £50 psn credit which I then bought 12 months ps plus for £49.99
Sony allow you to buy anymore ps plus to stack unless you’ve ran out completely and can’t go online.

@Ryany £6.99 will keep leaving your account every month until you cancel or Sony increase the price of your plan. You will not be charged anything extra. When the new options become live/available in a couple of days your plan will be called ps plus essentials if memory serves correctly. Regardless what the plan is called nothing is changing for you. You will still receive the same stuff you’d typically expect to receive.

@Denni5m I’ve literally just finished it on PS4 pro. I’m currently trying to platinum it. It’s a solid game, hardly a worldly though. I got bored of it initially about half way through and came back to it months later. The game has quite a few issues still especially when your speed running areas it really struggles to keep up. For me the game could of been so much better. You get your main abilities far to slowly, making combat start to midway just plain rubbish until you can actually do things. Really under utilised the second second sister for me. It felt like the game was missing another planet or so to really crank up the story. Not a bad effort from Respawn but I do believe it was a wasted one in that they’ve got so much right in this game and with a few extra bells and whistles it could of been one of the very best Star Wars games to date. Enjoyed it overall hence I’m going for the platinum. Loved the ending…wasn’t expecting big bad to turn up😂

@JJ2
I agree. As long as PlayStation keep making the best exclusives year after year. Microsoft can overpay and rob themselves to their hearts content. Microsoft’s idea of trying to bully the market buy as much competition as possible is fruitile as long as Sony and Nintendo carry on making the best exclusives. Xbox as a standalone company must have shocking profit margins compared its rivals. Will it all pay off for Microsoft in the end, who knows?

@Gmork___ the Predator has an emote in game where it take off its mask and screams....it’s taken from the film just before it fights Arnie in the original. It’s awesome 🤩 it’s still cracks me up watching Predator do the stupid in game dances. Star power and the queens wave are hilarious 😂
Bought the terminator pack just for the T800 skin. I hope they do a horror pack in the future. Freddy, Jason, Myers, Leatherface etc would be amazing.

@nessisonett
I have 4 kids mate and honestly my kids have improved overall since home learning. 2 of them had been struggling the last couple of years and they’ve really caught back up. I guess it depends on the kids and parents though. I don’t take any crap off mine. 😂 For me my kids are to treat the hours of 9-3 as school time regardless of how long it takes them to do their work and aren’t allowed on there computer until after 16:00 which is typically when they’d get back from school. It’s working for my family so far. Think I’m drinking a lot more now though with this all homeschooling 🤦‍♂️

@NYJetsfan123
I’ve managed to get my son one for Xmas and decided to set it up ready for him and free my Xmas day up a little. Ended up playing it for a couple hours while there were are school 😂
It was fantastic but where are these bugs your speaking of? I didn’t experience one issue it. It is huge though. Defo gonna trade my 4 pro in for a 5 a lot sooner than I expected now. I’ve personally nothing but praise for it after my few hours playing

@Saucymonk which is bigger 😂

@Kafkaesque @GAMER-GlRL
I sacked the first game off about half way through. The load times and crashes are embarrassing considering how quick the game should be able to load.

@RenanKJ
My kids absolutely love it. I haven’t tried it yet but it does look fun at least for a time. It reminds me a little bit of Mario party games which I used to love as a kid.

@KisekiFan7 The Yoda wannabe reeks in you and thx captain obvious 🙏

@Richnj Damm... do you take everything so literal all the time. I bet your fun at parties. 😂 Don’t try to understand my logic. I was being facetious, flippant, sarcastic. I can’t be upset mate even with a killjoy like you. My medication doesn’t allow it. By don’t allow it I don’t mean my medication has a verbal say just to clear that up before you ask. Love you 😘

@Richnj Ha I remember my brothers bouncing the old SNES controllers off walls and each other’s heads when they would lose to each other and wind each up playing street fighter 2 turbo or Fifa. Ds4 can’t take that kind of punishment just like a father of 1 and former youth worker it seems. In fairness it was a tongue in cheek comment which I knew would make some one cry. I was referring to the sensitivity of the controllers nowadays is comparable to people nowadays. You seem case and point to me. Ultimately my point away from making you upset is the controllers are not that resilient and as they add more and more tech to them the more delicate they get. I personally just want a solid controller to play games and I’m not interested in it shaking if a character farts in game.

@Richnj if a 8 year old can break a controller through use it seems pretty flaky to me just like the generation of people we are in. I’ve owed most consoles growing up and still do. I get them out every few years and everything still works and I’ve never had to buy replacement controllers for them. I now own 4 PS4s 1 for each of my kids and I’ve had to buy a few replacements. My kids are not aggressive children. They’ve been brought up to look after stuff. The controllers on the PS4 are naff this isn’t new news there’s plenty of forums about them. I stand by my snowflake description of the controllers.

Isn’t that kind of what I said. They are very weak compared to previous models and I suspect the ps5 controller will be even more delicate

@ApostateMage
I bet the Dual sense are £60 easy

I just hope the new controllers are a bit more robust than the DS4. My ps3 controllers were indestructible and the batteries lasted forever. The PS4 controllers are utter pants. It’s like they made them with the snowflake generation in mind.😂 My 8 year old son got his PS4 at Xmas and his controller has tracking issues already and half the thumb sticks come away. I’m personally not interested in the vibration features and I knock them off anyway as I find it irritating. I just want a solid controller that doesn’t break after a few hundred hours use. I do love the speaker in the controller though. That was a neat addition.

I agree it’s a beautiful game artistically. Only game I’ve ever taken photos in though is Fallout 76 and that’s only because there’s challenges involved = reward. Plus the photos you take in game act a part of the load screens so they do give me a chuckle from time to time. I’m more surprised photomode seems to becoming standard in games now. It’s not a feature I ever dreamed anybody demanded to see in games. Its cool that it does seem to bring enjoyment to people.

@themightyant
Why surprised? I never bought the game to take photos in fairness.

It was that long ago I just remember pushing a sequence of buttons for some special moves. I remember enjoying it at the time. I still have Suikoden 1 & 2 on disc loved them games. Ah memories

@WallyWest
I agree in some part. That’s the Snowflake Karen generation we live in I’m afraid. Everyone’s a warrior (keyboard) we’ve become soft fat and lazy.
God help the west if we are ever invaded again. We are screwed 😂🤣😂

@Paranoimia I don’t know about time frame but I think providing your PSN etc as many others have said would be a. decent step forward. If you’ve spent the cash then your entitled to your opinion and if you haven’t you can jog on so to speak. Not sure how much would change though. The mentality of people now is crazy. We live in a world where we are given so much information and everybody thinks their the expert. I am a bit of an expert though. 🤦‍♂️😂

@RIGORR_MORTIS
How is TLOU2 a bad game. I personally didn’t like the direction of the story in TLOU2. That aside every single aspect of the game is improved over the original. By your own admission you were a massive fan of the first game. So what’s not to like? Were you that butthurt by the story not being what you had hoped you’ve turned into the very person the article’s talking about.

@Gamer83
It will be interesting to see how Naughty Dogs next game sells at least initially. They managed to annoy a lot of people with the story choices. Me included. Any right thinking person who’s actually played the game though regardless of whether you love the story/decisions or not can’t deny how good it is for nearly all aspects of its design and execution. The rope physics alone add to its score 😂

@WallyWest I love the fact there’s no lock on you can disengage an enemy at will and engage another without being fully focused on one. It makes the world feel more alive to me but It would of been cool if there was a option maybe though for it.

@get2sammyb The main story is reasonably to the point which I like and some of main side quests I haven’t enjoyed as much since Witcher 3 and Days Gone. If your enjoying the game so far you’ll love it even more once you get into the meat of the story.

@get2sammyb I’m on chapter 3 now and the story is great too once you get started.

@Col_McCafferty definitely

@naruball I’ve never said mediocre games can’t do well...Them games needs marketing much much more than your top games.
Great games don’t need that much because they’ll do well anyhow. A lot of games with ridiculous marketing have to do it to some extent as their game sucks in places or just outright. Or it could be that it’s a niche market they are appealing to and need to broaden. Truly superb games don’t as they will always do well and that’s the balance for devs and publishers. Do we blow our profit margins on advertising coz our game is cacka poo poo or are confident we’ll impress enough people without needlessly advertising...I remember no mans sky for example the game wasn’t all that. They spent a fortune on advertising and it sold okay. Obsidian did the same with outerworlds. Never a game of the year contender but they’d spent a fortune making the game and needed to recoup....I haven’t really seen GoT advertised tbh. It’s been reported everywhere though by critics and fans and rightly so because its very good. Free advertising and Genuine praise speaks much higher to people than a catchy fmv with zero gameplay. Most people see through that nowadays.
As of a guess I suspect Xbox spends more per console Than Sony and has to or they’d be possibly be consumed. I’d imagine their profits margins tighter than Sony. Microsoft have to to remain a big player. This is purely my opinion of course.

Erm reviews. Research. You genuinely have a good idea if your going to like something by your own tastes. You then check reviews etc to see if it’s been executed well. If a game appeals to your tastes you can forgive it if it’s not great. I for example played fallout76 more than any other game last year. Everyone shat on it from a great height but I knew it was just a new fallout without npcs. Bethesda games have always been buggy so that was nothing new to me. Fallout aside though Sony’s releases more and better exclusives you can’t get anywhere else. While some are poo imo a lot are great and rightly receive great praise. Sony’s media team aside PlayStation do great because of great games media helps but great games help more. Xbox must have a great media team. How can you constantly under deliver as a company but people still buy into there crap. They create fantastic hype...they also have to have the more powerful console as what else have they got? I don’t know as I’m not interested in Xbox as all the best games for myself and the majority seem to be on Sony. Xbox needs a superb media team right now. Sony just need a competent one. Until they fail to deliver that is.

@Kirbyboy92 mate I personally think it’s the quality of the games more than the marketing. If your game’s great it will always sell.

@get2sammyb
Agreed
I’ve Hardly put it down. Going for platinum. my favourite game of the year so far.

@Flaming_Kaiser
I think I had that on my ps3 you had to do button combos for your special moves. I’ll have to check it out.

@JorbNorb it’s a fantastic game. There’s very few games anywhere near it’s quality and fun. Is it perfect no but it’s better 99% of the crap out there on any console.

@starhops I had an eagle land on the mongol as I’d just cut him down. I also was doing a mission with an Old granny npc and as I mounted my horse and she matrix style mounted her horse from around 10 meters away. (Jumped in the air then floated to her destination) gave me a chuckle 😂

I always take them first. I hardly ever parry arrows as you gain no ground on the archer. I sprint and dodge my way around mopping them up....They only become a pain later in the game when they start doing a 3 round fast draw and there’s multiple of them. They aren’t really hard though. Just dodge whenever you sense arrows or see them aiming at you and you’ll rarely get hit. Always take them out first though. Then I would take out the bomb guys if there’s any then any flaming swords dudes after that the rests a breeze.

@naloD I think TLOU2 wouldn’t of been so bad story wise if you hadn’t played the first game (Say just released it on Xbox instead. Probably end up game of the year on that platform) and had no feelings towards certain characters. Even halfway through the game they go all walking dead again and remove more liked characters. I’ve never played it since. Because of spoilers I’ve a rough idea what happens at the end and even that annoys me enough to not start playing again. It is a great game too gameplay wise. I’m just as confused as a lot of people why they thought killing everyone likeable in the game and not letting you ultimately get revenge should you want to was a winning strategy. After this game I’m not even convinced I’d buy Naughty dogs next game. Forcing me to play as someone I hate still annoys me thinking about it 😂

@Arugula It came in a bundle with the PS4 I bought. I’ve still never played it yet and I play a lot of PS4. 🤷🏻‍♂️ One of my sons says it’s fantastic though.

@MoorePs4 lol oh dear
How to win fans and influence people I think not....who in Xbox thought trying to palm off old content would win people over. I know people whine about backwards compatibility blah blah blah but that’s never gonna sell you 100 million plus consoles. It’s merely a bonus. People crave new experiences new ideas or old ideas done very well on new hardware. So I’m guessing we’ll be seeing Skyrim on the new Xbox then. That’s got to be a win in somebody’s book 🤣😂🤣

@Arugula Xbox will show loads of old games from previous generations that will be playable on the new console and use it to claim ‘the biggest launch line up of any console’
Wow far out man 😒
