@rjejr plus, she can't play it with all of us. The poor woman will be sick to death of Lego Voyagers at this rate 🤣🤣

@rjejr you could also play it with @Kidfunkadelic83's wife. I already got the go-ahead.

@Kidfunkadelic83 me too mate, me too 🤣🤣

@Kidfunkadelic83 same here (planning on playing it with my wife though, not yours).

It might be nothing to worry about, but no console review code being sent out should at least make everyone wary. At the very least, anyone reading the review on this site when it's available knows that PS did its due diligence 👍

It doesn't just look good. It is bloody good. I implore anyone who can try out a demo - I know there's one on Xbox right now; not sure about PlayStation - to do so. I'll keep banging on about Mina the Hollower because it is, as the kids say, the t*ts.

@get2sammyb Aha! I have bested you! No worries, the information I'm after will pop up eventually.

@get2sammyb in Cyber Sleuth, Digimon would reset to level 1 when you evolved them. Is that still a thing?

Oh damn, I'd better get my skates on and finish Rebirth. I'm part of the way through chapter 13. Judging by what's happening narratively (and being told that I'm now locked into the area), I assume I'm not far off finishing it.

@LikelySatan

"sales did not meet our expectations."

Fun fact: that phrase - written in Latin - is on the Square Enix coat of arms.

It's actually been 10 years since the adventures of Iota/Atoi, not five. I know, I was surprised and almost crumbled to dust as well.

I played a demo of Hirogami a while back and it shot straight onto my wishlist.

At this stage I wouldn't expect to see Physint the game. Maybe we'll see Physint the Kojima's doodles.

Psychonauts 2 is an absolute banger.

@awp69 you shouldn't be relying on reviews from just one outlet anyway, whether you agree with a review or not.

If this game isn't the most successful success that ever succeeded, EA is going to drop it long before it gets to a 1.0 release.

You call this journalism? I found the actual quote:

After more than two decades of generally being a massive scumbag, Sony's had enough and is giving me the boot. This journey has been the honour of a lifetime. I am deeply proud of the millions of dollars' worth of classic cars I was able to buy while we laid off hundreds of workers – and most of all I am privileged by the opportunity to nope out of here probably with a sizeable severance package.

@wildcat_kickz love it 🤣🤣🤣

I haven't played Helldivers 2 in a little while because of other games and stuff going on. But I think 26th August will be the day for me to jump back in. I really love this game and ODST and will happily drop money on (yet another) Warbond.

If I were one of the creators "featured" in these ads, I would be on the phone to my lawyer so fast.

@Artois2 you can't be serious?

@PuppetMaster @tameshiyaku and I thought Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds was confusing 🤣

@get2sammyb disappointing. Is there at least some food like mama used to make?

@get2sammyb approximately how many "fuggeddaboudit"'s are in this game?

I have a new idea for a game and I'm bringing it to PlayStation 7.

There, I've now done as much work on my new game as Kojima has done on Physint.

@Kienda gameplay is king but when it comes to trying to market a game to a mainstream audience, graphics win. Telling potential customers that your game plays great is a far less effective marketing tool - and far harder to effectively accomplish - than showing them that it looks great, unfortunately.

Saying that PlayStation's live service plans aren't going smoothly has got to be the understatement of the century.

@AverageGamer true, the LBP games sold millions of copies. But I should have clarified: by hit, I was thinking of not just sales, but were the games a financial success? I have to think that the development of tools as fully featured as those in LBP and Dreams had to cost a pretty penny. Plus the cost of the upkeep of the servers to store people's creations, and the moderation of said creations. I might be completely off-base, but while MM's games overall sold reasonably well, it's not hard to imagine that the financial success was hindered somewhat by the very nature of what the games were. Just my thoughts.

How on Earth is Media Molecule still around? Look, I like LittleBigPlanet and I love Tearaway, but has the studio ever actually had a bona fide hit? I'm amazed Sony has kept it around as long as it has.

Wow, considering that we've seen bugger all of Wreckreation since its announcement 3 years ago, that trailer was arse.

Taking that quoted statement at face value - risky, I know - it seems like "hit the skids" is overblowing it somewhat. It at least sounds like 2K understands that they can't just s**t this game out and that it needs to be great. If anything, I personally find this report encouraging.

I just went with Daredevil because

1. He's been snubbed for every Marvel vs. Capcom game so far. If Capcom won't show hornhead any love, maybe ArcSys will.
2. He's my guy.

@CJD87 The Emmerdale Files.

Move it to Peckham and get the licence for Only Fools & Horses and I'm in.

@TheEnygma my wife and sister-in-law both love Animal Crossing and have also both played an obscene amount of Hello Kitty: Island Adventure. From what I've heard from them and seen for myself, it's a quality product.

I swear that WB executives are still touching the stove when it's on.

That is a sleek and sexy looking piece of kit, with an awful name. It's like a Greek god named Keith.

@Jammer

not a big fan of shooters outside of the Resistance trilogy.

You like what you like and that's your right, but to me this is like someone saying they're not a big fan of racing games outside of the Crazy Frog Racer games 🤣

@TheKramer89 same. I've played a lot of PvZ, but only ever with a mouse or touch screen. I feel like some of the later levels would be a pain to play with a controller.

@thechetearly 2, 3, ODST, Reach and 4 are all definitely worth playing. I played through the Master Chief Collection again last year and only the first game doesn't quite hold up nowadays. It's alright, but it has bad and repetitive level design in quite a few spots and those sections are really tiresome to play through. All the others, though? They're top tier.

5 is boring and I didn't finish it. Infinite is better, but the open world is a chore to get through and adds nothing of value to Halo, so I also didn't finish that.

Do a Marvel Rivals and get some obscure characters on the roster. Or really wild picks. Let me pit Jeff the Land Shark against Doop and I'm in

@Oram77 so it's called Marvel Fighting Soul: Fighting Souls? Oh, Japanese game developers, please never change.

@ShogunRok is there still an upgrade system, or has Treyon done away with it?

@Hylian-Likely "Hyrule, here we come!"

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Arena 2 confirmed.

@Anya-chan Blasphemy! There's no such thing as enough HD-2D.

@AdamNovice Thinking about it some more, I would put the mall bits in the winter chapter and the Riley bits right after Joel and Tess find out Ellie is immune.

I was going to ask about whether I should play the game (for the first time) in chronological order or as it was originally released, but people have covered that. Original, it is 👍

@AdamNovice I recently played Part I (PC). I hadn't played The Last of Us since 2013 and had never played Left Behind. I sort of agree with you, except I don't know how they'd integrate it into the main story. Would you have Naughty Dog put the whole thing into the logical place in the story, or would you prefer them to put just the Ellie in the mall sections there and put the Elliee/Riley parts nearer the beginning?

@Propaperpusher I've also never played The Last of Us 2. Guess I'll go f myself, too.

@lazarus11

ill have the controller in hand , cig in my mouth and a bottle of whisky on the table till 4am 😂

You're my spirit animal.

@get2sammyb No kisses? Wow.

Dear Hookshot,

When you inevitably post this story on Pure Xbox tomorrow, do us all a favour: disable the comments and just copy/paste this thread into the comments section. It'll save everyone a lot of time and effort.

Regards,

@Deljo still sounds like I made the right decision, to be honest 🤣
