Epic trailer. I really wanted this game then there's no campaign? Battlefront 2 was a fun campaign - me and the Mrs have run through it at least once each, same for BF1 & V. Multiplayer is not my thing.
I feel sports games should have a big release every other year and a patch + season update (rosters, leagues) for the years in between. This should minimise the stress on the dev teams.
"Leaked" by EA. They blatantly want to know what the community want after the last two were greeted with a lukewarm reception. What better way than to send a build to an "influencer" with a brief & say it was an unknown leak. I cannot believe for one second that this was unintentional.
I can't see the DualSense lasting longer. I don't understand why my Sony phone lasts longer that the DS4? Surely using the same battery would make it cheaper for Sony?? 🤔
Mp trophies will stop me dead in my tracks for a Platinum. I don't mind difficulty as I feel that it's required to master the game to qualify for a platinum.
I hate PS Plus and how we pay for multiplayer although I also use Steam alot more as that's free MP. I only use PS Plus as my friends don't use PC. Especially when Sony cuts servers before the current generation is over, what's that about? Isn't that a service we pay for? I'm surprised the GT Sport servers are still running to be honest. I won't be returning with PS5.
NFS Payback, Aliens vs Predator, Black Flag, CoD Infinite Warfare Zombies in Spaceland & 2D Super Mario U all get my replay time. Jokers Funhouse on Arkham City is always fun to go to as well.
I only buy Call of Duty for the campaign. Needless to say that I didn't buy Black Ops 4. Black Ops 1 was the last one I played loads online and that was the PC version too.
It was part of decision when I ditched my PS4. I was constantly charging it. Now I use a Wii U Pro controller on my PC & it lasts for around 70-80 hours between charges. Its not hard to do this Sony. My Sony phone has a better battery than PS4 controllers somehow.
I haven't used my PS4 in months. I've gone back to Steam & Wii U so I won't be getting a PS5. Sony exclusives don't matter to me anymore, I only come here for the reviews and articles now.
Game of the decade?? No. The clue is even in the award name. It's clearly not a game, so why have it on this list? Demo of the decade? Sure, why not. For a game of the decade I'd expect complete & released titles that I could pay for and there's thousands to choose. Its articles like this that have made me really disillusioned with this site, its become something that resembles a few mates trying to blog & I don't really trust the reviews anymore either.
I hope they kept the choices from the original, but they probably haven't. I restarted the original recently on DC as its one I never finished. Hate spiders!!!
My parent was broke so I enjoyed my Mega Drive until I got my first job in 98. Saved up for the Ps1. Such an upgrade. Loved it & only got the PS2 because there was a Knight Rider game released. 😂😂 Nostalgia hit me hard for that. Skipped PS3 and only dived in on PS4 because it was free. 😂😂
Wow. WWE needs to take a year or two off. Is it not better to do this than damage your reputation further by releasing this garbage? Seems to have really gone downhill since 16/17 editions.
And yet I still prefer Gt2 & GT3. Sport just pales in comparison. For me, the tracks aren't there and more importantly the car customisation was a big draw for me. I loved fiddling around with a cars set up to get it entered in a race simply by adding/removing tuning bits. I'm sad they dropped this part, especially since it's labelled a "simulator".
Bioware/EA should remaster the Mass Effect trilogy complete with DLC included. This should appease fans and help mend their shattered reputation. I'm still playing the first one and I see why the ME series is loved.
I play PES & I play FIFA. PES is a vastly superior football game in literally every respect. Especially on the pitch, where it matters most. Fifa cannot match PES.
@Carl-G I agree. How can these newer consoles not run 4-player split? My Wii U can run a five player split screen and take those five online at the same time. Baffles me.
Just started episode 4 of the Final Season on my Steam copy. I don't want it to end, but I know it must. At least this got closed out unlike the Batman one. Shame they never did a BTTF sequel.
They should do an Encore flash sale on Monday and Tuesday for those people that missed it. I would've bought the Bikes expansion, but it's no biggie for me. I already had the monster season pass for it.
Also, I'm glad it's gone. What kind of racing game doesn't have Ford in it? 😂😂
@East76landS I never did play 3 or Parallel Lines, but I will play the latter soon. I thought the first was amazing when that came out. Ah.... Memories.
I liked Payback & Most Wanted U. Not as great at the Underground series but a good shout out. I really hope this new one is good & improves upon Payback. Currently Driver SF is the best driving game I've played in last 10 years & I still play it on Steam. Bold claim? No. Was it fun? Totally.
Had my wallet burned by NHL 19's lack of Offline Seasons in the Hockey Ultimate Team. Not buying NHL again for a while. I'll stick with 17 & 18 for now.
I think the flak is fair. If they put a microtransaction in for an XP boost and not expect people to do this, they can't argue. Now, if the XP boost wasn't a microtransaction and wasn't there then I'd be behind them.
@FullbringIchigo I totally agree. Such great little additions. I also like how they created extra suits for characters to incorporate the GamePad onto their gauntlets. I still need to finish it though, then do the New Game Plus. Not sure I'll do NG+ on Origins unless I unlock a couple extra suits, namely the Dark Knight one.
@FullbringIchigo Wii U version of City was a pretty decent offering. All dlc on disc, Catwoman dlc fully integrated like the PC version and some cool features with the GamePad and the addition of the shock gloves. Miles better than the "remastered" version. But then, so are the original versions.

Battlefront 2 was a fun campaign - me and the Mrs have run through it at least once each, same for BF1 & V. Multiplayer is not my thing.
Re: Hitman Dev IO Interactive Is Making a James Bond Game
I thought Craig's Casino Royale was a kind of origin story for 007? Doesn't matter, as long as it looks decent I'll probably get it.
Re: PS5 Sold Out in Japan, But Launch Numbers Are Dire
Let's see if Xbox can sell more than 100 units a week now.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Lets You Delete Modes You're Not Playing on PS5
I'm surprised it's taken so long for consoles to do this. PC has been doing this since original MW2/BO. 🤷♂️
Re: NHL 21 - The Best Iteration of the Generation
I'm guessing no offline seasons in HUT again? Still no manual line changes with the hybrid controls?
Re: Kojima Productions Hiring Up for New Project
MGS V final chapter patch?? 😂😂
Honestly, I'll be intruiged by whatever comes out of that guys mind.
Re: PS5 In-Game Hints and Tips System Requires PS Plus Subscription
What a pointless idea.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for October 2020?
I seem to be the only who liked Payback 😂
I'll give Vampyr a go too.
Re: PS Plus October 2020 PS4 Games Announced
NFS Payback was pretty decent I thought. It is what it is, but the lack of customisation ala Underground etc is a bit rubbish.
Re: Poll: How Much Are You Willing to Pay for PS5?
PS4 will be my last Sony console. I have zero interest in PS5/Xbox. I'll stick to Steam & Nintendo.
Re: Hands On: NHL 21 Is Looking a Lot Like a Hockey Game

Re: Don't Panic, But More PlayStation Exclusives Will Come to PC
I'm very happy about this. I'm not buying another Sony or MS console, so I'm happy to not miss out.
Re: Next-Gen Need for Speed Supposedly Leaked with Super Early Footage
"Leaked" by EA. They blatantly want to know what the community want after the last two were greeted with a lukewarm reception. What better way than to send a build to an "influencer" with a brief & say it was an unknown leak.

Re: PS5 Controller Has Much More Battery Capacity Than DualShock 4

Re: Rocksteady Confirms Suicide Squad Is Its Next Game
And I was hoping they would develop a full Batgirl game. Easily the best part of Arkham Knight.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Controller's Battery Life 3 to 4 Hours Longer than DualShock 4
So I won't be trading my current PC controller for this then. I currently get around 70-80 hours out of it on a single charge.
Re: Sony's First-Parties Have Perfected the Art of Compelling Trophy Lists

Re: Poll: Would You Still Pay for PS Plus if Online Multiplayer Was Free Elsewhere?

Re: Talking Point: Is the PlayStation Store Starting to Rival Steam Sales?
Not for me. Until consoles join in on free multiplayer, it won't come close for me. Steam wins every time.
Re: Feature: The PS4 Games We Keep Coming Back To
NFS Payback, Aliens vs Predator, Black Flag, CoD Infinite Warfare Zombies in Spaceland & 2D Super Mario U all get my replay time. Jokers Funhouse on Arkham City is always fun to go to as well.
Re: This Is What Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Cancelled Campaign Could Have Looked Like
I only buy Call of Duty for the campaign. Needless to say that I didn't buy Black Ops 4. Black Ops 1 was the last one I played loads online and that was the PC version too.
Re: Grand Theft Auto V Has Now Shipped an Incredible 130 Million Copies
GTA is on my Steam wishlist for the Summer Sale along with Red Dead & Outer Worlds.
Re: Can't Download PS4 Games and Updates - Why Does Your PS4 Say It Doesn't Have Enough Hard Drive Space When It Does?
Sounds like poor programming to me. It ridiculous to think I need to ensure I have twice the game file size free, especially for an update.
Re: Poll: Are You Noticing PS4 Loading Times More Since PS5's Reveal?
@Anguspuss something today's kids will never know about 😂😂
Re: Mass Effect Trilogy HD Remaster Is Finally Happening, Apparently
@ShogunRok
I'm playing the first one for the first time on PC and driving the Mako is alot of fun.
The games pace is a bit slow, but I can see the quality in it.
Re: Talking Point: What PlayStation Franchises Should Sony Bring Back on PS5?
Infamous & Killzone. Did hope for PS3 remasters as I never had a PS3 but I guess I'll go backward before going forward.
Re: PS Plus May 2020 Reveal Has Been a Disaster, One of the Worst Received Months Ever
Months like this are the reason I don't have have PS Plus.
PS Now is a much better proposition vs Plus.
Re: PS5's DualSense Controller Will Have 'Strong' Battery Life

Its not hard to do this Sony. My Sony phone has a better battery than PS4 controllers somehow.

Re: Borderlands 3's Split-Screen Co-Op Is a Mess on PS4
Specific PC build? Textures not loading properly? This doesn't happen with Gearbox. It all sounds a bit Alien to me.

Re: Countdown Clock Suggests Need for Speed Reveal Coming Later This Week
@redd214 absolute blast. Driver SF needs either a sequel (preferably) or a remaster.
Re: Countdown Clock Suggests Need for Speed Reveal Coming Later This Week
I liked Payback & Most Wanted U. Not as great at the Underground series but a good shout out. I really hope this new one is good & improves upon Payback. Currently Driver SF is the best driving game I've played in last 10 years & I still play it on Steam. Bold claim? No. Was it fun? Totally.

Has Assassins Creed done anything about Juno (think that was the name) since the end of AC3?
Re: Batman Arkham Collection Confirmed, PS4 Exclusive Content Not Coming to Xbox
@FullbringIchigo I totally agree. Such great little additions. I also like how they created extra suits for characters to incorporate the GamePad onto their gauntlets. I still need to finish it though, then do the New Game Plus. Not sure I'll do NG+ on Origins unless I unlock a couple extra suits, namely the Dark Knight one.
