Fast boats are an absolute god send for all those Smugglers' caches in Skellige!

I only have the main campaign of Blood and Wine to go now and then i'm done for the first time and what a ride!

Well other than the extraordinary amount of bugs in the remaster.

I currently have upside down dresses on NPCs in Beau Clair.

Which is odd.

I have no faith in Bethesda to release a game in any state remotely worthy of our time.

I know this stuff happens with tech from time to time and buyer beware and all that but....

I do feel a bit of a good will gesture to those who bought into this and have seen almost zero support for it from Sony would at least acknowledge the support of the core fan base - who seem to get the roughest deal a lot of the time.

I don't expect it. Would be nice though.

@themightyant agree there have been others but because MS never set their stall out with a firm answer many weren't prepared to commit to the idea of what Xbox was - because we just didn't know.

And they were right because games like Starfield came to PS5.

I personally don't see how MS can be a platform holder and a third party publisher. If they were starting from a position of power then there may be some room to dabble in that arena too but right now it is killing their console business because nobody 'needs' one.

One game was never going to be the deal maker or breaker here - especially one whose best days are likely behind them.

What Xbox need is to go all in on ONE strategy - are they a platform holder, a subscription service or a third party publisher?

Doing bits of each is why they are failing.

@11001100110zero I was looking at those recently. The only concern is the long term build quality.

I appreciate the information, decent write up.

I'm aware of most of it but like I say it doesn't make enough difference at the high end to justify keep pushing the envelope to get that very best sound.

There is definitely a 'good enough ' point for me where the extra effort and expense doesn't add enough.

The headphones were the biggest game changer for me to be honest. I feel i'm in a pretty good place with a £350 set.

God I'd love something like this but to be honest even if i had the money I feel it would be wasted on me a bit.

In much the same way as game graphics see diminishing returns at the higher end, i find the same with sound quality.

I really can't tell the difference at the higher end.

That's a real shame.

The Dishonored games are really good. I'm not sure why they never really caught fire sales wise.

I'm going to have to pick up copies of all 3 at some point just to have them.

I bought a Sony player earlier this year. Most of the content I watch is digital but I like to have the option and we still have over 500 discs that we have collected over the years.

I think we were collectively mad to go down this all digital route. Movies and TV shows were so cheap on disc at their height and you had a library of your own forever.

Very very simple equation for me.

Show me why a PS6 is worth that price.

PS5 was 'cheap' enough that I was able to overlook the fact that the upgrades weren't game changing but with double the price and diminishing returns Sony has their work cut out to justify that price point - a frame rate boost and denser foliage would just not be enough.

This goes double for the fact that the cross gen period is likely to be very very long.
