I'm enjoying this game but some of the puzzles are beyond obtuse. I know they are in the spirit of Monkey Island era games, which I love, but maybe I'm just getting too old and impatient for them!? Case in point- the entire Feeling Old level wound me up so much!
I bang on about the 3D audio in Hunt Showdown anytime I’ve given the chance. It really is a game changer, and I’m excited to see (hear) this become the norm for the new generation
@Perryg92 I had this with my PS4. Got it at launch and it was bricked from the start- was absolutely gutted, though to be fair to Sony they arranged a replacement console, which arrived the next day (and worked!)
It was in stark contrast to the state Destruction Allstars was in. Did you see the way the characters were morphing into the ground when the photo was being taken? It looks half finished and has flop written all over it. Back on topic, Sackboy does indeed look rather lovely!
@Gmork___ mate, that sucks. I don’t understand why the same games aren’t in the sale. Well if it does drop in price and you pick it up, I’ll see you in the bayou
@Gmork___ Online matches are easy to find and I don't usually have to wait more than a few seconds to be matched with someone. There are two maps, with another coming next year- but they're so big and well designed that it really doesn't matter. Honestly, it's such a brilliant game and doesn't get the love it deserves- it's hardcore (in other words, I suck at it) but totally addictive, and the 3d sound design is some of the best I've ever heard before- in fact, there's no point playing it without headphones. As you can tell, I could go on about this game for a while..!
Anyway, to each their own; I bought FIFA 21 because I know I'll play a match or two most evenings throughout the year, I want the new kits and squad updates, and I want the PS5 upgrade. And I'm hoping PES comes back with a bang as I'd rather be playing that than FIFA
@UnlimitedSevens pretty sure they're the platinum (wireless) ones as I had to buy them after the hinges on my gold pair broke. It's the way they fold for storage. Regardless, whichever model I own doesn't have hinges anymore, just a load of gaffer tape to keep them together!
In the last week, both hinges on my Platinum headset have snapped. Its as if there's a timer inside them, forcing me to buy the shiny new Pulse headset.
I was grumbling in an earlier comment about being thrown out of the payment page to be told they’d run out of stock. I’ve now just received an email confirming my order! If anyone else had the same problem as me, check your emails in case it did actually go through.
It also means my ShopTo expression of interest, which has been turned into a preorder, isn’t needed anymore. Of course I’ll cancel it but it would be great if I could pass it over to someone here
After much refreshing I finally got through to payment, entered my details... waited...sent back to payment screen...reentered details...waited... spat back out and told none in stock anymore. Grrrr
@get2sammyb Microsoft have blinked first. Surely PS5 pricing is a day or two away now... and even if they do go for a higher price point I can't see it being more than £500
I imagine the spots FIFA and Fortnite have are paid for, and there are a lot of games released each week so it would be very difficult to showcase all of them... but yeah it could be improved.
I usually go to games>all games>released in the last 7 days to check out what's new
I’m glad the crown in fall mountain is a bug. I was denied my one and only victory yesterday when I couldn’t grab it, and at least now I can say it wasn’t down to my complete ineptitude.
Even if I had any desire to play this, it wouldn't be worth the hassle of having to explain it to my wife after she walks in on me and asks what the bloody hell I'm up to
@Quintumply Is it the whole package in VR or a separate part of it? I know it was always meant to be the whole thing but wondering if that’s still the case
@get2sammyb yes I meant after the upgrade. Likewise, I think the backwards compatibility will add some improvements but we will definitely need to wait for the full fat version
I hope the digital only version is at least £100 cheaper. Not because I intend to buy it but because it’ll help me lie to my wife about how much I spend on a new console

@DonJorginho hahaha fair enough
Re: FIFA 21 - A Step Up from FIFA 20, But Must Do Better on PS5
@DonJorginho I think it's because you said Chelsea are the best team in London, when you clearly meant Spurs
Re: PlayStation Store Halloween Sale Has Some Spooktastic PS4 Deals
Hunt Showdown at £13 is a steal. I wish more people would play this gem
Re: FIFA 21 - A Step Up from FIFA 20, But Must Do Better on PS5
@710King might be time to try a different hobby? Not trying to be snarky but if you’re fed up try something else
