A game with almost instant fast travel, also being the same game you probably wonāt want to use it because swinging/gliding is so much fun. The irony š
Sony would do well in future to give more notice when titles are leaving the service. Pulling titles with little to no notice is very bad PR on Sonyās part.
I played this solidly for the first few months and finished the campaign, but bounced off the season mode stuff pretty quickly. With so many other games to play right now though - including Spiderman 2 next week! - I canāt see myself returning to Diablo 4 anytime soon.
Good game, but they need to add some new playlists soon. I only have a few left to do, and apart from the occasional grand race the playlists are my go-to activity in this game.
I know a lot of people will like Mirage for taking AC āback to its rootsā, but personally Iāve loved the huge open worlds and RPG-heavy titles of Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla. Iāll still play Mirage at some point, but am not in a rush to do so.
Usually this would be a day 1 purchase for me, but Iām currently knee deep in Cyberpunk 2077 and what with Spider-Man 2 just a few weeks away Iām afraid AC Mirage will have to wait. Modern day problems š
I definitely want to get this but doubt it will be a day 1 purchase. Both Crew Motorfest and Forza Motorsport will scratch my racing itch for some time.
I own PS5, XSX and Switch, and it has always surprised me that Xbox was the only one to offer customer reviews. Good to see Sony finally add the option. Just need to convince Nintendo to do the same now.
Iām curious about the lower than expected price for this game, Ā£45, compared to EA Sports/Codemasters F1 game which I think launched at Ā£70. Maybe because Rallying is more of a niche sport? š¤ Racing on the same tracks in different seasons is a nice touch that should add variety & longevity. I agree about the visuals, they look pretty average but hopefully thereās still time for improvement.
Good to see Motorfest selling well, Iām really enjoying it. Though Ubisoft must be a bit miffed to just miss out on the top spot by a game thatās been out 7 months š
Itās the little touches like this that can really make a game, just like the one you mentioned recently where when you change character heāll be in the middle of something (like GTAV). Over the last week or so my excitement for this game has gone up considerably. I just canāt believe Spider-man 2 is out the exact same day as Super Mario Wonder, another game Iām excited for.
I definitely want to play it but am busy with Starfield right now and I havenāt the time to play both. Iām hoping for a physical release then I can get it for Christmas š
13 Sentinels has been on my radar for a while now. Typically though, they put it on PS+ when 1) Iām too busy with other games, like Starfield, 2) the next month or so is stacked with new releases (Phantom liberty, Spiderman 2, Mario Wonder, AC mirage!)
Willing to give Saints row a go. I know it didnāt have a good launch but itās had several patches/updates since then so hopefully itās a better game for it.
I definitely want to play this at some point, but thereās no point buying it right now whilst Starfield gobbles up all my free time. Hopefully by the time I get around to playing it they will have ironed out any remaining bugs, and it will be cheaper too.
Iām wondering if Codies are gonna give us quality over quantity - a cracking a rally sim, but not every country from the FIA Rally Championship will be represented š¤
I read somewhere that the ānext-genā versions are locked behind the gold edition versions? Please say it aināt so š and are we really still calling PS5/XSX next-gen, nearly 3 years after release?!?
@KaijuKaiser I wouldnāt be at all surprised if the Xbox delay is less to do with Series S ātechnical issuesā and more to do with not wanting to go head-to-head with Starfield.
Mostly playing Remnant 2 and Pikmin 4, though the last few days Iāve also been doing some races on the excellent Driveclub. The graphics still hold up really well, itās just a shame itās only 30fps, but after a few races you get used to it.
Still no option to start a new game? Iām a lapsed player, and havenāt touched it in a few years. Iād rather start a fresh game than carry on where I last left off.
@ErrantRob it may be worth you going into the āworld settingsā and re rolling the campaign. Apparently you will lose your current progress in that world, but still keep all of your skills, traits, resources, perks etc. The game will then give you a brand new world, hopefully different to the one youāve started in. Do a Google search for āremnant 2 what does re roll campaign doā and look into it. It may be worth doing if youāre struggling in your current world. Also, make sure you look everywhere - every nook and cranny - as you can often find loot, especially rings which often provide some good buffs. Also upgrade your guns/melee weapon whenever you can (back at the ward 13 hub, which you can return to from any of those Red checkpoints).
@ErrantRob my game started in Losomn, which I really enjoyed (apart from the final boss!). I didnāt even realise people could start off in different worlds š± Iāve just started the next world, which for me is Labyrinth. Iāve been playing solo, using handler archetype. This is useful for solo play as the dog can not only help you fight but also revive you (using one of your dragon hearts).
Remnant 2, though Iām currently stuck on the Nightweaver boss (playing solo). Will keep trying. Started Pikmin 4 yesterday which Iām enjoying. I think Iām gonna give Diablo 4 a rest for a while as Iām starting to feel burnt out on it, which is bad timing considering the first season only recently started!
Update: just defeated The Nightweaver! š
Re the debate about less than half of people claim their monthly games; I always āadd to libraryā, but donāt necessarily download them. Even if I already have the physical version of a game, I always ATL the digital version just in case. I wish Xbox would add the ATL option instead of forcing you to download the game(s) to claim them.
