Looks great, been keeping my eye on this one for while, never played previous Mafia games but this one grabbed me with the promise of a more linear story. I'm thinking day one, and so soon after Robocop too!!
Hopefully finish off Deliver at all Costs, interesting story as I approach the end but the music grinds my gears!! Maybe a bit of Ridge Racer & Helldivers 2 on the Portal. Gonna finish Squid Games too!
@Nye1779 you have given me flashbacks of that Pagoda Prison 😬 pain in the back side that section but an absolute masterpiece of a game for me, glad you are enjoying it.
Probably unlikely but I hope it supports VR2, Ace Combat 7 on the OG VR was excellent, it is excellent outside of VR too but it just adds extra immersion. I will still get it if not but fingers crossed 8 does support VR!
I will be playing the master piece of a delivery game that is..... Delivery at all Costs, pretty funny game, I am enjoying it but not sure I will bother with the plat.
I don't think Premium has improved at all in fact I would say it has got considerably worse, removing VR games and then only offering 1 game in a month is not good value IMO but I will stay subscribed (that's the problem) because I enjoy streaming to my Portal.
The back catalogue they have to go at should make this tier an absolute winner!
Great month for me, been keen on Jusant for a while and like others I have been very close to picking up D4 a few times in the past to scratch that loot loop itch!
@wazza99999 Very good point buddy, you grip the controllers similar to a handle bar so that would work a treat! You would also get the rumble through the controllers to add to the immersion🤞
Brilliant game, really enjoyed it but if anything it was a touch long for me as it was pretty intense but I liked getting both perspectives of Ellie and Abby.
The first was a master piece not this one for me, didn't need a second but it was a superb game.
At that price I will be getting Gears even if it isn't all on the disc, I would have done the same for Doom and still will when it gets there on a sale!
Glad I get to try Train Sim before purchasing physically, I am keen to get into one but never enough to drop a few quid on it! Katamari and The Hunter might also get a try but maybe not. Poor month for me tbh.
Proper 90's nostalgia with the side scrolling beat me ups' love it, we're on a pretty good run with them between Turtles, Power Rangers, Scott Pilgrim on the way and now this!!
I liked Atomic Heart enough to give a sequel a go but I hope the trophies aren't glitched this time around, was good fun and very weird in a good way, I especially liked the testing chambers! RE9 obviously a good one too and I will take any decent side scrolling brawler so will keep an eye on Scott Pilgrim too!
Looks excellent, love fighting games and along with a new fighting stick should be good fun.
I have never used a wireless stick though, anyone got any feedback on if they are laggy at all, I thought they were all wired at comps etc don't think I have ever seen a wireless one, I use the Hori Fighting Pro on the PS4 but have yet to pick up a PS5 one!
@EfYI Yo buddy, just heads up on the streaming for Portal, you need to select cloud streaming in the settings it then switches to the library which can be played without the PS5 (just an internet connection. It is all I use it for and works great for me!
Never seen movies on the Portal but that would be a decent upgrade at some point for sure!
Hoping to wrap up the platinum on Astro then move onto Deliver at All Cost, looking forward to the final tonight, think PSG might just do it but as a neutral I can sit back and enjoy.
I got it day one as I did the Pro and I don't regret it one bit. The value for hours per entertainment (on any console) is insane when compared to a lot of other hobbies! One of the biggest surprises for me this generation is Helldivers 2 as I was pretty much done with online gaming (definitely shooters) but this game sucked me back in and has brought me so many memorable moments with the community!
Only 4 episodes in so far and enjoying it, episode 2 was excellent some great scenes! Like others I don't watch TV live these days but I am about 3 weeks behind with all the good weather we have had I just ain't sitting in watching TV.
I had hoped for a higher score but probably sounds about right given the write up, I am still intrigued and for £25 it is a price that makes it worth a go!
@Member_the_game Same here buddy, just the one game at a time usually for me (and a bit of Helldivers/GT7) I honestly don't know how people play multiple games at once with differing control schemes etc.
@Deljo Sorry dude I feel a right numpty 🙃 You have waited this long and fingers crossed another month or so if the rumours are true you will get 60 FPS RDR2
For me £120 a year is fair value especially when we were getting PSVR2 games but now they are being pulled that feels a bit of a sh*tty play. I am a little worried they might pull the streaming perk for my Portal next!!!!
I am not sure what the difference is in price between Extra and Premium but I don't think it is much so for an extra couple of quid each month (less if you get a deal) I get value from it.
That said it is hard to defend when we get such a poor month as this one!
Always tempted by Genshin but never dipped in however there is something about this one which is appealing, I might have to try it and see what all the fuss is about!!
Yea this is cool and welcome but I would really like the friends feed from the PS4 days where it would list trophies they got as well as games played etc that was really cool.
We might get there eventually but seems strange to not include it on PS5, I don't really see the point in the widget which says who played which game the most in the last week, seems a bit pointless and I know some people think trophies are too but I used to enjoy seeing others get the platinum etc on games I was familiar with.
So you pay £10 more for some cosmetics and you don't get the disc WTF??!?!? I know they do this for collectors editions but the deluxe as well, complete joke if you ask me, I'll stick with standard.

Re: Licensed PSVR2 Superbike Game May Require a Strong Stomach
@SirRealDeal Great video buddy, love the part where you look down at the dash - proper immersive and kudos for the win!
Re: Licensed PSVR2 Superbike Game May Require a Strong Stomach
@SirRealDeal Awesome news, nice one buddy!
I notice your comment above, is it good on the Meta 3? I am a bike rider and would love a good VR game for the PSVR2!

Re: Licensed PSVR2 Superbike Game May Require a Strong Stomach
It would be awesome if they did a motorbike handle bar peripheral but I doubt it will happen, looks great though and I will pick it up at some point!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 585
Finally got around to my platinum for Astro Bot last night so going to clear up all the DLC, I am limping along until Robocop in a couple of weeks.

Reminds me of Inertial Drift but with less colour, as a petrol head I will be keeping an eye on this one!!
Re: Xbox's Next Round of PS5 Games Are Available to Pre-Order Physically
At that price I will be getting Gears even if it isn't all on the disc, I would have done the same for Doom and still will when it gets there on a sale!
Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025 Announced

Poor month for me tbh.

I enjoyed the first one enough to pick the sequel up, hope the gun play is a bit better but I enjoyed the weird world!
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest 2025?
I liked Atomic Heart enough to give a sequel a go but I hope the trophies aren't glitched this time around, was good fun and very weird in a good way, I especially liked the testing chambers!
RE9 obviously a good one too and I will take any decent side scrolling brawler so will keep an eye on Scott Pilgrim too!

Re: Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again
@Deljo Sorry dude I feel a right numpty 🙃
You have waited this long and fingers crossed another month or so if the rumours are true you will get 60 FPS RDR2
Re: Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again
@ChrisDeku @Deljo 🤣🤣 I absolutely did read it but fair point I missed that important point 🤦♂️
Sorry fellow readers I am the muppet!!
Re: Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again
Good news but people clearly not reading the article (although it does start out misleading) this is 60 FPS on PS5, it was patched last year!!!

Excellent, will play in VR as soon as the patch is out, anyone know if it is getting a physical release?
Re: Stellar Blade Director Gets Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Platinum Trophy, Says It's Game of the Year

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
