Re: Where to Pre-Order Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, PS4

MatthewJP

I love base.com and their prices, but my last Pre-order (dying light 2) failed to be dispatched on time for release and was then showing out of stock, so I don't think they limited the orders to their stock unless there was a supply issue. Just a word of warning for anyone desperate to play on release day.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Sifu on PS5, PS4?

Not sure if anyone can explain further - the review on this site made it sound (to me at least) that enemies will attack you either 'high or low', but there was no 'tell' as to which it would be, leading me to think it was more about pot luck which sounds frustrating.
Yet another article today is on about speed runs and people attempting to finish the game without aging. If that's possible, how, if there is no tell? Is there a set attack cycle you must learn?

Re: Gran Turismo 7 Will Require an Online Connection on PS5, PS4 to Prevent Cheating

MatthewJP

What exactly are people cheating at - having a fast time posted on a leaderboard? Having access to cars they didn't rightfully acquire? Big deal - if they want to pay £70 for a game and do that 🤷‍♂️
Not affected personally but why should people with poor or no internet connection suffer?

Next Sony released dvd will stop people fast forwarding to the end to stop them spoiling it?

Re: Dying Light 2 (PS5) - Good Sequel Hurt by Expectation

Good review, and at least they provided a copy and allowed reviews to be published before release.

@LiamCroft did you have the day 1 patch? Any comments on dualsense or was it pretty standard stuff?

Hoping the sluggish menu and glitches can be sorted. I still have the opportunity to cancel my order but there's enough in the review to suggest I'll enjoy it a lot.

Re: Sony Buys Ex-Halo, Destiny Developer Bungie for $3.6 Billion

I don't get any of this acquisition stuff - paying billions for what is ultimately a brand name and an office building (and in some cases an IP). The talent that makes these games are free to move around at will, as seen by every studio always going on a recruitment drive when making a new game.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk cheers, I'll keep trying. Watched so many YouTube Vids, switched places with her to put her in the gas below, kicked her down the stairs, shot at her feet, can never get the trophy to pop.

Not usually a trophy hunter at all, but I really want this platinum as its a great game.
