I haven't played any AC in years. Vikings are fun, hopefully this is good. But I'm quite wary of Ubisoft in how they have created previous games with their rigid formula.
I currently have 95 platinums, I haven't gone for any in a few months though. Quite a few games I'm determined to play before the PS5 arrives, that's my priority at the moment.
It needs to be a game where the player is Harry and he's taken over from Hagrid. And one day he goes a bit nuts and unleashes his giant spider army and other beasties upon the school. I'd play that. Maybe.
If PS5 doesn't give us a good deal of strong quality indie games, I'm going to be seriously gutted. Give them the attention they deserve, Sony, please.
Great idea, there's a really nice community on this site, many of which are currently stuck indoors (even more than usual). Perfect opportunity for them to show how creative they can be.
To be fair, we never actually see Vaas die, or find his body as I recall. Just the main protagonist going on a drug fueled fever dream. Surprised more people didn't question that. So the return of the only interesting Far Cry character makes a lot of sense.
I occassionally notice a Vita games being discounted on PSN when I hit filter on the PS4 sales and set platform to Vita. I think it's always cross buy games though, and the choice of games tends to be pretty slim. Still worth checking though, I found a few decent games I've never heard of doing that.
Fair play, the dude shows some impressive skills. The super slowly chipping away at health bars doesn't make for the most entertaining spectacle for me though. Would like to see him do, let's say, a no box run on Resident Evil 3 on Inferno difficulty. That would be much more exciting for me to watch.
That's excellent news, well done Sony. So many incredible indie games on Playstation, great to see the developers looked after in tough times like this.
I'm really enjoying Resident Evil 3 so far, it's great fun. Resistance is enjoyable too but maybe could do with some more balancing. A next gen Resi 4, I'd love to see what improvements they can make over the original.
@SoulChimera I'm sure you're right! But, I've waited this long, so... My general rule is to purchase on release or wait for a discount. Can't break the habit of a lifetime, not with this backlog.
Smart strategy to keep banging that drum, but I have a feeling that showing off the actual games is what will sway the most people. And there's still plenty of time to prepare for that.
The first one was probably one of the most enjoyable games on the Vita for me. Just the right level of challenge and had that 'one more go' ingredient that makes a game like this great.
@Frozen_Pov Yes, it has happened for a few games, I purchased currency for Elite Dangerous when it was reduced briefly in a psn sale. You need to keep an eye as each sale comes though. Use the store filters, currency sales aren't advertised on the blogs.
I think saying to avoid another Resident Evil 3 situation is a bit harsh, Liam. Makes it sound like it's just one for the bargain bin.
A Resident Evil 4 remake would be very popular, I'm sure, seems a good bet.
Wow, that is a shame, they really did strip a lot out of this game, mercenaries mode as well. I'll still play it but must admit my expectations were pretty high after Resi 2. Ah well.
I don't mind losing this particular function. But I still enjoy playing PS3 games, collecting trophies for those, as well as watching Netflix and other catch up TV, so hopefully it's only because people dont really use the messaging system much.
Well, 'fidgety' is an improvement over 'butthurt' at least so there is that? Still sad to see the eagerness to stir the pot though and making an issue when there isn't one.
No way, man. Bring back games on cassette tapes with ten minute load times and using a pen when all the tape came unravelled. Kids these days, eh? Back in my day..
I remember all the arguments about the N64 being twice as powerful as the PSone back in the day. Look how that turned out. Numbers mean very little on their own.
Both superb games, would be silly to suggest otherwise. I probably won't download them personally, unless the communty here is keen to set up some online races on Dirt 2, that could be fun.
I was planning to trade the ps4 in for the PS5 on release, now I'm not sure what I'll do. Really do not want to lose access to my ps4 library. But there's only so much room under the telly.
Is this site really going to start calling people butthurt? I'm sure there's a fair argument to suggest these fans are overreacting but it reads more like a young teenager posting on social media. You can do better than that.

That is reassuring, many they've turned a corner. I know they admitted they needed to make some changes.

Re: The Outer Worlds Was Held Back by Console Memory Budgets
This is the one game I will be sad not to be able to play on PS5. The Outer Worlds 2, can't play everything I suppose.

Still waiting for a half decent discount on this one, does look fun.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets Mechs in Latest Free Update, Available Now on PS4
@Nakatomi_Uk
Yes, it was really good fun, I agree. Really enjoyable story mode, definitely looking forward to the next game.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets Mechs in Latest Free Update, Available Now on PS4
I love mechs but surely half the fun of them is when they're firing missiles and assaults cannons at one another or punching each other in the face?

Re: PS5 Cosmic Horror Quantum Error Targeting 4K, 60FPS with 'Beautiful' Raytracing
