Loved the original releases but just couldn't master the tank controls effectively enough in the re-releases. Either its my age or they are just terrible controls.
Purely for games, nothing else. Even if I didn't have a modern TV with all the apps I'd rather just use a firestick. Waste of money and power imo to boot up a PS5 just to stream stuff.
As much as I loved the first game, please do not have them damn repetitive 'save the hostages' to claim the base quests. But meh, I'm not a creator, guess its hard to fill an open world with interesting and unique quests such as Elder Scrolls. I won't be buying day one, it looks as padded as the first one.
@Ellie-Moo lol, i remember taking it out of my ps1 and sticking it in the cd player for the tunes 😀 Not sure what arcade archives is, a sub service or streaming only like Anstream?
2 More reasons not to pay for premium. Nothing premium about it, would be cheaper just to buy the very rare games on premium that people actually want.
Thanks at least for the local minimap showing as default in interiors. A little late though. Platted it yesterday 😞 Think I'll be buying ES6 a year after release if it actually gets released in my lifetime.
I tried starting that game many times, but got put off by the card game. Gwent? I preferred the cards in Ff8, they actually had an impact on the gameplay.
Haven't rated it. I was on about the fifth mission, and the stoopid dragon thing started. Got bored. Not sure I'll go back to it. Played on gamepass, and feel sorry for the peeps that paid full price.
Have almost platted it and am enjoying it. But yeah, it can be buggy. I've had to reload saves a few times and it has crashed about 5 times. But nothing gamebreaking. Surely it is to be expected from a Bethesda Original, a lot of the coding is still in there. Kudos to Virtuos for managing to do what they have with it. It was never a flawless game, but i'll never forget leaving the sewers in 2006 to an absolutely massive open world with so much to discover 😀
I would have expected call of The Mountain to be a lot cheaper by now. Especially considering Sony's poor support for PSVR2. Ditto about the scrolling on phones, I only looked at the first page 😉
@OldGamer999 You and me should be guest stars on 'grumpy old men' lol. Tis an shame the BBC don't do that series anymore As for Switch, Nintendo can f off. I bought it, thinking i could buy the N64 Zelda games. Nope. Locked behind a sub. Grrrrr . Sold it swiftly 😀
I've only played through to chapter 4 , and i' .m enjoying it. But wouldn't buy it. Not worth it imo, they can't replicate the original Doom games. A little like ffvii, don't mess with a good formula
@HonestHick Day's Gone is as bland as they come imo. Didn't like the racist undertones. Oblivion is great, not sure about them sneaky khajit though. I'm racist 😉
@thefourfoldroot1 lol, the enemy scaling isn't that bad. They changed the broken levelling system. And also retained some of the original jank. Loving it 😀
@awp69 Simples. They'll lose player engagement on new games, which will hurt profit margins. It is a business after all. So I kinda understand why PSPlus and GP keep raising sub prices.
I'm unemployed Sony. Would quite happily accept the job as PSVR2 community manager. 1st on the agenda, reverse your STUPID decision to remove that content from the service.
Another kick in the balls for PSVR2. Huh? It's your own product. Wow. Thanks for supporting 'the players' who bought it, or inducing new VR users. Sure they were only on there for 5 minutes. @LifeGirl yeah lol. I bought it on release many moons ago and was disinterested, but surely even everybody's Gran has played it by now?
@lifeGirl, I enjoyed the first KH for the creative crossover between FF and Disney. The 2nd game looked great, but started to eschew logic. Way too convoluted.

Re: Once Upon a Katamari Brings the Series Back with a Brand New Game on PS5
@MrPeanutbutterz Haven't booted them up for a while, but pretty sure there wasn't a one stick option. I would've jumped on that option 😂

Re: Sony Veterans Notice Their Purchased PS3 Avatars Have Gone Missing
I'm shocked at the 'cosmetic crowd'. Seriously?

Gotta love armchair devs.
Re: Sony Veterans Notice Their Purchased PS3 Avatars Have Gone Missing
Lol, not a big deal. Touch my digital copy of Vagrant Story and murders may happen.
Re: 'We Won't Make You Do the Same Thing Over and Over': Ghost of Yotei PS5 Will Keep You Guessing
@SeaDaVie To be fair, the Yakuza sidequests are quite unique and hilarious. GoT got repetitive fast imo.
Re: PS Stars Program Marks Its Eventual Shut Down with One Last Collectible
@balaam, see a doctor. Your tirade is that of a person who isn't well. You don't need to 100 everything , sometimes we fail. Accept it.

Re: PS Plus Members Can Save Big on These 25+ Essential PS5, PS4 Games
@Marquez Yep, I've been curious about it for a while. I'll play it next week and will buy it if I like it. Devs having hard times.

Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Will Make Solo Play Easier Next Week
@Damage99 Respect mate. I've giviven up hope of it ever appearing on Premium.

Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Will Make Solo Play Easier Next Week
Not for me, I've just bought an old PS3 console so I can play Vagrant Story legally.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give DOOM: The Dark Ages?
Haven't rated it. I was on about the fifth mission, and the stoopid dragon thing started. Got bored. Not sure I'll go back to it.
Played on gamepass, and feel sorry for the peeps that paid full price.
Re: Persona 3 Reload DLC Sales Were 'Substantial', Despite Fan Backlash
Played it on Gamepass, but NO, just NO. Added nothing to the narrative whatsoever, and no ng+ option. Nah.

Re: The Most Addictive Game Ever Is Now Available on PS5, PS4
@WolfyTn Totally understand. I like watching friends irl playing, but do find it a bit odd that people watch randoms playing on social media channels.

Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
@OldGamer999 Diminishing returns indeed mate. Perhaps I'm getting too old.
But great stuff for the new gamers 😀
Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
@OldGamer999 lol, praising the generic Avowed much. Bored me to tears. Seen it all before.
Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
@HonestForACh_nge you do realise that this isn't a PC site?
Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
I've only played through to chapter 4 , and i'

But wouldn't buy it. Not worth it imo, they can't replicate the original Doom games.

Re: Not Everyone Loved Oblivion Remastered's Shadow Drop
@themightyant Was a bad move imo, shadowdropping Oblivion like that, during the same week as FH5 and Expedition 33.
Sack that business manager.
Re: Not Everyone Loved Oblivion Remastered's Shadow Drop
@Godot25 Kudos to those guys, the game has been well received. Have played very little of it, but am impressed from what I've seen so far 👌
Re: Not Everyone Loved Oblivion Remastered's Shadow Drop
Very tabloid 'let's hate Oblivion title.
Re: Oblivion Remastered Tops 4 Million Players in Just a Few Days

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
@GirlVersusGame lol, great screenshot.
@Lup, have only played the intro really, so can't comment. Kinda shame you don't like it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
@JbumiSandra I haven't played it since 2014, but it's in my top 3 most played. About 200 hrs or so from what I recall.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
@kyleforrester87 Choco Digging, not kind to the thumbs but best minigame EVER 😀
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
Very busy week, bouncing between Oblivion, Clair Obscur and Forza 5. 3 big hitters released within days of each other 😉
Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for June 2025 Confirmed
@GirlVersusGame please play Control 😀
Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for June 2025 Confirmed
I loved Control, such a surreal game.
But with this going straight to PSplus, it's a thumbs down already.
