Picked up Steep for a decent price and will be chilling out with it when I can this weekend. Enjoying it so far, there's something pretty cool about carving down a mountain at my own pace. When I need to liven things up I'll be reclaiming my mid table obscurity in battlefield 1 multiplayer.
So 7% of people who watched a Youtube video clicked a dislike button? I doubt Sony are too bothered, to be honest; allowing people to up or down vote on videos and forums always leads to a toxic atmosphere. I'm not saying what we get on PS+ is good or bad, but it is easy to magnify a relatively small number of people's vitriol and get a skewed perspective.
Haven't had much of chance to use it yet but playing tomb raider on 60fps is night and day compared to before. Never been one to care too much about fps- until now that is.
@Drawfull hang on, 2 cables? I've just got the one connecting both ps4s. Perhaps I am doing it via wifi after all! Arse. The router is in a different room so I'll have to stick with it.
Finally, someone who understands the difference between initialisms and acronyms! Erm yeah, anyway, the game...no thanks, I like to be rubbish due to my lack of skills, not my wallet size.
@get2sammyb not for now, I know, but will you be running a how to on transferring data/profiles from ps4 to pro? I want to get the process over as quickly as possible on the 10th!
@kyleforrester87 haha I'll be fine, thankfully I'm pretty sensible with money. My wife on the other hand, well let's just say I shouldn't have told her of my new Very account
Getting big AAA games is great and all, but I quite like this month's selection for my PS4 and vita- 4 games I wouldn't have bought. Now I get a chance to play for 'free'. I'm happy enough.
@ShogunRok I may be wrong but don't Rockstar tend to begin marketing their games quite far into production (unlike most developers/publishers)? If so, when do you think we'll see it released? By the end of this financial year would seem logical..?
Great video Sammy, although I had to watch it ready to close the browser down in a split second in case my wife walked in. There is something inherently creepy about this game and I'd be embarrassed if my wife saw me watching this video on my laptop. I can only imagine what it would be like to be immersed in VR with this unaware of my family seeing it play out on the TV
@JoeBlogs Multiple sclerosis, for one. But seeing as this game appears not to be about MS or any other disability, I can't see the controversy either- but then again I haven't actually played it.
@ShogunRok lol thanks for campaigning on our behalf! Back on topic, this marketing stunt is inane and completely irrelevant to the game. I'm going to pick up Tomb Raider first and get this on sale one day, irrespective of any marketing antics.
@BrettAwesome seriously, I can't stand trophies- I totally get why people like them but for me they just take me out of the moment and... well, I just don't care if I get a trophy or not.
@get2sammyb this is one of my favourite sites so please don't take this the wrong way, but how can you give a game 7/10 and then place it higher in the monthly round up than a 9/10? I dont get it!
People sure feel strongly about this game. For what it's worth, I've never had so much fun with a FPS and would suggest anyone on the fence to download and give it time. Took a good few hours to click with me but now I play every day
@get2sammyb PS thanks for the inference that us forum posters know the industry inside out. The only thing I know inside out are my pants but that's only because the Mrs is away and they're not going to wash themselves.
@get2sammyb yes, I take your point. It must be tough for indie devs when people aren't willing to take a punt in case it becomes free next month. I guess it's that tricky balance between the exposure digital platforms can give and the readiness for people to spend their readies.
If a game is released the same day as the monthly free games, how will that hurt sales? People know what's going to be free so they will either get it for free (and devs will get whatever commission) or buy it if they want to.

Pretty happy with the selection. Of course a AAA game would've been great but I'll happily give all these a spin
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Final Fantasy XV?
There are many games I'll happily pay full price on day one for but this isn't one. Definite bargain bin game for me!

@Flurpsel yep. Really hope it's sorted by tonight as I'm itching to try the multiplayer. Not holding my breath, though.

PSN was fine for me just now. Same can't be said of the Battlefield servers... I wonder if the issues are connected somehow?
