@J2theEzzo Thanks for the info 👍 I haven’t played it in quite a while either. I found there were too many currencies, systems etc at play, though I think I read they are going to be streamlining these so I may jump back in!

OlliOlli World and Mafia DE I already have on Xbox. I’m quite looking forward to trying out Evil dead the game. I’m still not sure about Destiny 2 beyond light - is this the new expansion? Do I need the base game to play or is that included? I think I have the base game on PlayStation but honestly can’t remember 🤪

I’ll probably still be knee-deep in Hogwarts Legacy in March anyway 🙂

It was okay, but for me the weakest of the 3 episodes so far. I’m still not completely on board with the show tbh. Pedro Pascal is smashing it, but I’m still not convinced Bella Ramsey was the best option for Ellie. There’s still 6 episodes to go so we’ll see how it goes.

The question is, does this game justify its £65 price tag? Going by the reviews, I’d say no.

Tbh I’ve had way more fun with Marvels Midnight Suns than I ever did with Marvels Avengers.

@Almost_Ghostly Shopto are selling the deluxe version for about £63. On the PS store it’s £65/£75 for the standard/deluxe versions. The deluxe version also includes 3 days early access, so releases on 7 Feb, and the standard version on 10 Feb.

I’m loving it so far. Nice gameplay loop of doing stuff in the abbey and then going out on a mission. I usually take the heroes I don’t use that much on the side missions, and use my favourites (unless forced otherwise) on the main story missions. I wonder if they will be able to retro-fit Deadpool into the main campaign, and not just the dlc missions? 🤔

Where’s the option “I’m playing them on GamePass” ? 😉

Over 2 years in and they’re still calling them “next-gen” consoles 😂

I’ve actually preordered the physical deluxe version of this, as one online retailer is selling it for less than the PS store standard edition price! Can’t wait for this 🙂

I downloaded the demo a few weeks ago but haven’t got around to playing it yet. Definitely gonna give it a go before the game comes out next week.

@ORO_ERICIUS yeah this is the only one I’m interested in from the latest batch of titles. Have nearly bought in a sale so many times!

Most people probably decided to just wait for the Dead Space remake.

Performance mode/60fps for me, but I hope it’s higher than 1080p and at the very minimum 1440

@themightyant not only that, there’s also less chance of spoilers if you have a whole week to watch the latest episode.

I’m mostly playing The Witcher 3 (performance mode is sooooo sweet!) and Marvels Midnight Suns. Also on my third play through of GTA V! (previously played on Xbox 360 and PS4). I can’t get into GTA online, but I love the single player campaign.

I keep seeing Disco Elysium in these sales, but I’m holding out in the hope it comes to either PS+ extra or GamePass.

I’m really looking forward to Hogwarts legacy, so congrats on it nabbing 2nd place! Not only that, but it’s out NEXT MONTH! 🙂

Happy new year everyone! 2023 is looking like an amazing year for games, whatever platform(s) you own 🙂

The Witcher 3. This is only my second play through, the first being over 7 years ago when it first came out. Still a fantastic game. I love the new way of casting signs, it’s much more intuitive (luckily any muscle memory of the old system has long faded 😂). Also just started playing Marvel’s midnight Suns, which I’m enjoying so far.

PushSquare’s review of Neon White highlighted performance issues on PS5, in particular screen tearing. Anyone know if this has this been fixed yet?

I can’t believe that 1) Dreams hasn’t been a PS+/extra game yet, and 2) there hasn’t been a PS5 upgrade.

I would love to give this game another go, but I haven’t played it in ages so would have to start afresh. Unfortunately the game doesn’t let you start a new game unless you set up another account, which I won’t be doing.

@BeerIsAwesome thanks 👍

Look on the bright side…that’s the last time FIFA takes the Christmas top spot.

Have they patched the Neon White PS5 performance issues yet? I definitely wanna give it a go.

Re EMEA; so if the E stands for Europe what does the rest stand for? 🤔

A patch 24 years after the game’s initial release?!? Is this the longest ever? 🤔

Don’t do that!! My heart skipped a beat when I read the words “delayed until April”…then realised it was only the PS4 version 😂

Need for speed unbound, GT7, but no F1 2022 🙄

521 hours, mind you I do also have a Series X and Switch! My top 3 was 1) Horizon forbidden West, 2) F1 2022, and 3) God of War Ragnarök. Not sure how accurate Sony’s data is because it says I spent 70 hours on GOWR, whereas my save file says just shy of 50 hours 🤔 I didn’t get any platinum trophies this year 🙁

I’m sorry, but constant screen-tearing puts me off buying it. Hopefully they will better optimise it. Anyone know if the Switch version suffered screen-tearing?

2023 is looking so stacked that time will be my biggest enemy!

@Lonejester I agree. All the stuff with BTs and other enemies was my least favourite part of the game. I just loved getting around the beautiful environment.

Let’s face it, there’s bound to be at least one delay, so you’re probably looking at May/June really 😉

Still playing God of War Ragnarok, which I’m trying to finish before The Witcher 3 upgrade drops. I’ve just started the “Forging destiny” quest, so I think I still have quite a way to go yet.

This is looooooooooong overdue!

God of War Ragnarök. That’s it. I usually have a few games going at the same time, but all I want to play is GOWR. If I start playing something else I just end up thinking “I could be playing GOWR” 😂

I got the cosmic red controller for £40, a saving of £25.

@IOI I’ve only just got to a Vanaheim. I didn’t really enjoy Alfheim (elves realm) with all the light doors 🙄

@ErrantRob yeah it’s annoying when you have to come back with the right equipment, and then have to remember where all those locked-off places were 🙄 have to admit that the puzzles are my least favourite part of the game. I love the exploration and combat though!

Wow, that’s surprisingly high after just two weeks. I’ve put in just under 20 hours so far, but I had a quick look at the main quest list earlier today and I still have a ways to go 😱 saying that, I like searching every nook and cranny so I don’t miss anything.

Damn I have about 3 weeks to try and finish God of War Ragnarok.

Here’s a longer look with the devs:

FYI Console talk starts at about 6:05

I hope they are looking at bring back more classic tracks, like Grand Valley Speedway, Tokyo R246, and a favourite of mine, Midfield Raceway. Atlanta is pretty cool though.

How the hell did Stray beat HFW and Ragnarok?!?!

I’ve been waiting ages for this update so I can do another play through! I’m getting worried now though that my expectations may be too high 😬 Let’s hope CDPR don’t disappoint 🤞

Not gonna lie, the 1080 graphics put me off buying it at full price. Hoping it comes to GamePass or PS+ extra. I’m also hoping the devs can better optimise it by then.

And so it begins…

I haven’t played this in ages, but now they’ve sorted out the PS5 issues I think it’s time I dig it up and give it another go.
