I started with COD2, and absolutely loved LANning it.
Moved on to COD4: MW and since then it's been my favourite of all time. World at War was also very good. I pretty much stopped caring after Black Ops 2.
I'm starting to worry a bit about FromSoftware's capability to deliver on a smooth console experience. Reason being is that I've already preordered for PS5 but I might have to cancel to rather go the PC route.
Very interested in the new combat mechanics that they've showcased so far. The spirits should add some variety to an otherwise Souls-esque combat system. Great to see sorceries making a comeback too.
I'm sure there are plenty of people like me: Played all the FromSoft games from Demon's Souls and still can't get enough of the supposed 'rehashed' formula. If it works, it works.
It's rare that I blindly preorder games, but FromSoft have not disappointed with the last few that I preordered so I've already put my money down for this one.
As much as I would want to go into Elden Ring as blind as possible, don't know how I will be able to resist watching the gameplay before jumping in myself.
Regional pricing and/or Steam being cheaper in general means the PS Store price is 300% that of Steam. I still have Psychonauts 2 on my radar so probably will stick to getting it on PC.
@Dan_ozzzy189 how about just accepting that English is used across the globe and that stylizations (see what I did there) differ and will get mixed to create new ones? Thank god that we don't have 1000-year-olds complaining in these forums about how Old English is not conformed to in articles.
I was blown away by the graphics (and gameplay at times) playing on the PC way back in 2007. But the tint in the Crysis nostalgia glasses is not good enough to bring me back.
Damnit. I'm on vacation most of that time. Will only be able to play the evening of the 8th and then will have to catch up by playing most of the 9th. But my download will probably take up most of the time I'll have access to my PS5 on the 8th.
Waiting on the physical copy, because even though I have a few hundred Steam games, PS5 cases lined up neatly on a bookcase boost my ego
I nearly preordered the digital, but was a bit hesitant since there were no reviews until launch day. And soon after that the physical release was announced, so I'm happy to wait.

Re: GTA Trilogy's Inevitable Backlash Is Already Brewing
Preorders for a game without giving out gameplay before release... yikes.

Re: Elden Ring Looks Awesome in 20 Minutes of Gameplay Action
@EmperorJake it's a Sony published game, as Lindos rightfully pointed out. Hence the price.
Re: Talking Point: Why Aren't You Playing Knockout City with PS Plus?
No thanks. Don't enjoy multiplayer games any more except if they're co-op.
Currently playing through Days Gone on the PS5 so that'll keep me busy for some time until I move on to Returnal.

Re: Elden Ring Collector's Edition Outed Ahead of Gameplay Reveal
Already preordered the standard edition for PS5. Don't know if the retailer will allow me to change but I'm sure they will
At least you get a disc with this one, unlike the Horizon Forbidden West Regalia edition lol
Re: FromSoftware to Share 15 Minutes of Elden Ring Gameplay Tomorrow
It's rare that I blindly preorder games, but FromSoft have not disappointed with the last few that I preordered so I've already put my money down for this one.
As much as I would want to go into Elden Ring as blind as possible, don't know how I will be able to resist watching the gameplay before jumping in myself.

Re: PS4 Exclusive God of War Releasing on PC in January
Not Bloodborne, but I'm glad nonetheless.
I finished God of War (2018) first time on PS5 just a couple of months ago, but I wouldn't mind playing on PC at native 4K.
Re: Brief Elden Ring Gameplay Clip Leaks Online
"The scabbard clips through the cloak, OMG bad game".
Ghost of Tsushima is an amazing (SONY 1st party) game, but the animations can be janky too in some places.
Re: Dying Light Receiving a PS5 Patch in the Future
@ankehuber but the PS5 patch should be free by the sound of things. It's not going to have a PS5 version.

Re: Crysis Remastered Trilogy (PS4) - A Franchise with an Identity Crysis
@Ultrasmiles pretty much agree.
I was blown away by the graphics (and gameplay at times) playing on the PC way back in 2007. But the tint in the Crysis nostalgia glasses is not good enough to bring me back.
Re: Retro Future Sci-Fi Thriller The Invincible Looks Out of This World on PS5
Looking good for an indie game. I'm glad that mentioned non-linear gameplay.
Hopefully a decent mix of exploration, puzzles and perhaps some combat thrown into the mix.
Re: Hands On: Tales of Arise Sword Art Online DLC Is Pricey but Pretty Cool
Milking weebs all day.
Luckily I don't care for Tales or SOA.
Even if I did, the DLC would probably feel too tacked-on and pointless to warrant the price.
Re: Far Cry 6 (PS5) - The Best Game in the Series, Sort Of
Got it for free on PC with AMD Ryzen CPU. Might give it a spin when I'm done with Metroid Dread.
But in all honesty, not too chuffed with FC6 being a rehash of the old formula.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Far Cry 6?
Got it for 'free' on PC with the Ryzen CPU that I bought last year.
Will probably play it for a few hours when I'm done with Metroid Dread

Re: PlayStation Studios: All Sony First-Party Developers and What They're Working On
My speculation is that Sucker Punch is working on Ghost of Tsushima 2
Re: Sony Finally Confirms Acquisition of Demon's Souls PS5 Dev Bluepoint Games
I am very glad for Bluepoint.
And for us gamers, because their recent remakes are superb and they are making an original game next!
Re: Kratos Actor Christopher Judge Says God of War Ragnarok Was Delayed 'Because of Me'
All the more reason to look forward to the documentary I shall title "Raising Ragnarok"!
Re: God of War Wins IGN's Big Best Video Game of All Time Poll
Well, just looking at the top 8 it's quite obvious those voters don't know what are good games.
GOW 2018 is decent (I actually played and finished it for the first time last month) but it's not close to even top 10 of all time for me.
Re: PS Plus October 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
@W0rl0ck that's an interesting argument. By virtue of the fact that you pay for a subscription years in advance that makes you better than the rest?
Re: PS Plus October 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Super disappointed. I was looking for narrative games.
Really not been a stellar few months since I joined the PlayStation family in June with the PS5.
At least I'm incrementally buying and playing each great PS4 exclusive when I can get it for cheap.
Re: Battlefield 2042 Beta Finally Coming Next Week on PS5, PS4
