@MickOnYourFace I think so. When you start, pick the expeditions 9 missions. It'll help you to get used to certain features and give you some fancy rewards that you can take in to a new play through. When you start a a normal game follow the missions. If you find it hard or laborious you can alter the difficulty to make mining faster or non existent. There's so much to do as a single player and multi-player. I'm loving my time with it at the moment.

Yeah, kinda liked going through the games again. I play quite often, not everyday, but, it's surprising how few games I was ticking off. I'll have to tell the wife I need to play more. Pray for me.

@Wayward_Boglin it was apparently a Samsung thing. I must have the certain phone that wouldn't work correctly. Like, playing red dead 2, the button inputs were either mixed up or just wouldn't work. I tried it last night and it's all working 😁

Knowing Square Enix they'll probably release it the week before Final Fantasy XVI. Spread your games out! Especially the massive JRPGs 🙃

@ThomasHL thank you! I'll give that a go while the wife watches TV soon.

For some slower paced games it's great. Never played anything too taxing on it. One of the major bummers was not being able to connect the dualsense to my Samsung phone. It just doesn't work, so I've been using the dualshock 4. Anyone know if they've fixed that.

I kinda like that feature. I need to know how far I have left. I'm constantly looking at full game walkthroughs on YouTube to see how many hours I have left, roughly

Great article, very much looking forward to this game. I don't buy many games on day 1 anymore but this is looking a likely early purchase.

I picked up 2/3 games. Sekiro was half price at £30. I haven't seen this game cheaper then 50 anywhere.
I also got Danganronpa 1 and 2 for £7.
Bargain!

@itsfoz the team behind it (Avalanche?) Don't really fill me with confidence. We've not seen them do something this big before. Would love them to release a fantastic, successful game but it wouldn't surprise me if it was filled with bugs, like you said.

I can't even remember what I voted for. I'm pumped for Octopath 2, even though it didn't make the top 20! That artwork above for FFXVI is awesome. It fills me with confidence that this is going to make up for XV. I couldn't stand that game.
I'm also a bit salty about the change to Assassin's Creed. I've loved the last 3 games more then I care to admit, so feel great betrayal at this supposed change back to the classic style. Plus i couldn't give a monkey about Basim.
Happy New Gaming Year, everyone. Lots to look forward to.

My personal top 3 are Ragnarok, Horizon:FW and Elden Ring my top game. But the real winners are the Gamers! 😬

I've been ready to finish it for ages. I completed all boss fights in Limgrave, Cealid, Liurnia and the ones around the Volcano Manor. Then i just fell off it, for no reason other then things came up. I should get back to it. It really changed how I feel about those soulsbourne games. I'm so far in to Demon's Souls now and loving it. I hear so many good things about Bloodborne but that framerate hurts my eyes too much. I need update, Sony!

A demo can only help this game. A good decision by Square-Enix. After the memes and bad press around the dialogue they need to show people how good it plays. I'll definitely be checking it out

Fantastic month. Not long ago I was planning on joining the EA games collection thing. Can't remember what it's called, just for the Mass Effect trilogy. I'm glad I waited now, and because it's the essential monthly game I don't need to worry about it leaving extra before I get chance to start it. Gotta finish Last Of Us part 1, then go through the mammoth God of war ragnarok.

I didn't care till I went back to 30fps. Playing Red Dead 2 is hard on the eyes now

@Matroska it was a long day!

A Bonnie & Clyde story sounds great. I'm still wanting those rumours of a police officer protagonist to come true. Maybe you could play both sides of the story. The criminal and the bent detective out to catch the pair. Like Heat!

I agree with a few comments here, that logo looks child friendly. Almost fortnite font style. It doesn't give off a medieval rpg feeling.
I played Inquisition and liked right up to the point Witcher 3 came out. I realised that was the style of game I wanted. I just can't face going to to Inquisition.

Typical Yorkshire man with my penny pinching, I got the game from curry's for £40. Going to have to wait till Friday night to get stuck in

Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year.

I loved the game, the story, how it felt and the city is amazing. What has surprised me is that Rockstar has never brought the city over to GTA online. No Niko or Roman. Maybe with the power of PS5 there could be a bridge linking the state and Liberty City together.

I'm looking forward to these. I just wish they'd release GTA IV on ps4/5. I wouldn't even be mad if it was a straight port. There's no way I'm dusting my ps3 off to play it

VI will forever hold the top spot for me. I bought the game for PSone only for the demo disc of X. I didn't play it for years after that when my girlfriend (now wife) suggested we play it. My first FF was VIII so that always holds a special place for me. IX is awesome too. XV is dog poo. It actually makes me worried about forspoken.

I think it is worth it. I've loved my time with the base game and when I finish the story I'll be buying it. The one thing I'm a little peeved off at is you buy the season pass but you have to do long quests for the cool outfits. I've paid for them so I want them ready waiting for me!
