Iām an invert Y player and have had to hold off playing Teardown until they added it. Shame it wasnāt there at launch, but at least I can play it now.
The way I see it, itās been 10 years since GTAV so another 18-24 months aināt a big deal. It will probably be those last few weeks/months before release that will be the most excruciating.
After playing the trial I ended up buying it over the weekend as itās currently reduced. Iāve heard it can become a bit of a grind after a while, but so far (around 3-4 hours played) Iām enjoying it. They should have released it for about Ā£50, charging Ā£70 for a new IP was never a good idea.
I bought BG3 last weekend, FOMO playing a big part. Have to admit that Iām struggling to get on with it. Itās still early days, so hopefully it will click with me at some point. Have downloaded the Immortals of Aveum trial so will give that a go. Still playing Super Mario Wonder.
UPDATE: Well, the IOV trial workedā¦have now purchased the full game. Went for the deluxe version @Ā£35.99, only Ā£1 dearer than the standard version.
@Throb 100% agree. The first thing I did was go into the options to invert Yā¦only to find there is no option š have to shelve the game now until they patch it in.
I hadnāt even heard of this game until today. Then I find out not only is it coming tomorrow, but itās a āfreeā game on PS+ extra! Happy days š
Iāve been playing this on & off since launch, but especially the last few months with the 2.0 update & Phantom Liberty. Great game, and love the futuristic world they created. All we need now is NG+
I finally pulled the trigger on BG3, which I downloaded overnight. Looking forward to playing this highly acclaimed game, especially as I also have a week off work now š
I think I may finally pull the trigger on BG3. Iāve just finished Cyberpunk Phantom liberty, and close to finishing Spider-Man 2, so want a new game to play.
I blood well hope not! Donāt want it to be held back (technically) because of a last-gen release. Letās face it, GTA 6 wonāt release until next autumn/fall at the earliest, by which time the PS4 will be 11 years old!
I had an issue a few days ago where I got stuck in the scenery and couldnāt swing/jump/walk out of it so had to reload my last checkpoint š I imagine itās been sorted now
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!)

Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Version Appears Inevitable Now
