Dreams…about bloody time! I can finally see what all the fuss is/was about. I’m not very creative though, so will only be “playing” other peoples’ creations.

Maybe put the first Overpass on PS+ extra in Aug/Sep to stimulate interest? 🤔

I’m enjoying Diablo 4, but I’m only on act 4 as I’ve been mixing up main quest stuff with side quests and open world exploring. Doesn’t look like I’ll be starting season 1 at launch 😳

This looks completely nuts 🤪 a 3 hour trial is pretty generous though, so will give it a go

Diablo 4 was on sale almost the entirety of June, whereas FF16 released late into the month. I don’t know why I’m defending FF16 as I’m not even into the FF games 😂 loving Diablo 4 though!

I played The Ascent on Xbox but am up for another play through on Playstation. Dysmantle is well worth checking out. Will give World War Z a go. Still waiting for Disco elysium on either PS+ extra or GamePass 🙄

I used this free trial on my PS5 last year, and ended up keeping it after the trial ended. Some great shows on there that are well worth checking out. Highlights for me are Severance, Bad sisters, Silo, Blackbird, and The after party.

Have just bought Evil West in the sale, hoping to start that over the weekend. Still playing Diablo 4, Army of ruin, and Zelda TOTK.

Sony/PlayStation already have lots of exclusive IPs. You can’t have ‘em all.

As someone who’s never really been into FF games, Stephen’s “second opinion” is really what struck a chord with me. Like Stephen, I had played FF7 remake but also never finished it. I’m not saying I’m now buying FF16 at launch, but it’s definitely on my radar. Will watch some review videos before deciding.

I pretty much got my theme park building fix from Planet Coaster, which was good. I had no reason to play this, even less so now going by the score.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they put the base game on PS+ extra before Phantom Liberty drops, to tempt people into buying the expansion.

I’ve been buying Codemasters’ F1 games on day of release for years, but I just don’t think theres enough new stuff here to justify the £70 price tag.

10k years of play time since just last week?!?! That’s crazy 😱

Basketball doesn’t really interest me, and the other two I’d already played on GamePass. Saying that, with Diablo 4 and Zelda TOTK I’ve got enough to keep me busy for ages!

My PS+ sub (premium) is due for renewal in a few weeks, so this is perfect timing 🙂

Looks like all the time in early access, betas, server slam etc has paid off which is great news. I’m gonna be getting either the deluxe or ultimate edition cos I wanna be playing this ASAP!
Couple of quick questions…1) does it make use of the dualsense pad/adaptive triggers? 2) what is the install size?

Looking forward to this, though I have a feeling that despite it being an official WRC game it won’t have all the rallies. Hope I’m wrong.

It will happen, but not for another 18 months or so, by which time the PS5 will be 4 years old. If it means games being 4K/60fps with RT - all at the same time - then I’m in!

Well the price tag certainly put me off buying it. Unless it’s a major AAA release, like God of War Ragnarok, or a game that I know will give me many hours of enjoyment, like the forthcoming Diablo 4, I won’t pay £70 for a game.

Between this and Zelda ToTK my summer of gaming is sorted! 🙂

@Green-Bandit yeah I can’t wait! I’ve managed to avoid playing any of the betas as well.

It also helps that some versions of the game (deluxe & ultimate) release 4 days earlier which will stagger the server load. Hopefully by the time of the full release on June 6 they will be ready.

@Gamer_Guy thanks! Will check it out later tonight

Looks like they added another Story Of seasons game - along with Friends of mineral town there’s also Pioneers of Olive town plus expansion pass! Anyone know which is the better of these 2 games to play?

I’m not so sure it’s “hotly anticipated”. Yes, it has new track Las Vegas and Qatar, but not much else to justify its £70 price tag. Despite being a F1 fan I won’t be buying it at launch this year.

@tangyzesty thanks 👍 will give mineral town a go when it drops on PS+ extra this week.

@tangyzesty Have you played SoS friends of mineral town? Is it worth playing?

Far too expensive for a racing game. Anyway, between Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Zelda ToTK I have more than enough to play!

I have a couple of SoS games on my wish list so am glad it’s back. I know there’s a player on here - sorry can’t remember your username! - who’s played something like a 100 hours on (I think) pioneers of Olive town.

Sounds like they fixed the flickering on Geralt on the inventory screen. Another issue I’ve had is when buying/selling with the armourer next to the bridge in Skellige, where mine has crashed several times. I submitted a report each time so hopefully it’s got through to the relevant people.

Some nice changes but not enough to justify its £70 price tag.

£7.99? Does that include the base game? 😉

Still too early to tell. Based on what I’ve played so far I’d give it a 7 or 8, but I have a long way to go.

No need to watch the movie now 😉

We’ve already had a 60fps patch, honestly wasn’t expecting anything more for a 4 year old game.

Only a week until SW Jedi survivor, then Redfall just a few days later…so Dead Island 2 has to wait I’m afraid. Probably get it down the road in a sale.

I’ve avoided the betas so far and will avoid this forthcoming one too. I know this game will be a big time sink for me so am holding out for the full release in June. I just hope they get their servers sorted in time!

I can’t wait for this! I managed to avoid both open & closed betas. I know this game will be a huge time sink for quite some time.

Looks promising, but I’m waiting for the reviews first.

I’m glad to say I’m over my gaming rut from last week 🙂 I’m mainly playing The Witcher 3 (second play through, first on PS5), some Gran Turismo 7, and also Ni No Kuni II (on GamePass) .

They should have put this on PS+ ages ago. I still haven’t played it, if indeed “play” is the right word.

Good to see Hogwarts Legacy still going strong. I’ve finished it now, but did enjoy my time with it. In fact, I just wanna praise PushSquare for actually reviewing it. I’ve noticed several outlets that have simply refused to review it (Eurogamer, Edge, Play magazine) all for obvious reasons. It’s a shame really cos the devs did a great job on the game.

@MightyDemon82 @Matroska thanks for your tips. Fortunately my gaming rut has only lasted about a week so far. I’ve lost count of how many games I’ve downloaded this week on either GamePass or PS+ premium, only to play for 10 mins then delete them again 😂 I do read anyway, but usually last thing at night before I got to bed. I’m hoping by the time Star Wars Jedi survivor comes out I will be over my rut, or that may actually be the game that ends the rut.

I’m in a gaming rut 🙁 whatever game I put on, within 10 mins I just quit and try something else. Can’t get into anything right now. Hope I snap out of it soon.

Yeah, cos we’re that stupid 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s still 18 months away so plenty of time. If it can do 4K/60fps/Ray tracing - all at the same time - then I’m in.

Almost definitely getting SW Jedi survivor, and Dead Island 2 is a possibility. I would get Burning shores but I never got around to finishing the main game 😳

I’m gonna be playing Tales of arise this weekend. This has been on my radar for a while, and when I saw it in the spring sale for £13.99 I couldn’t resist!

If they’re gonna polish it until release day why not put back the date they “go gold”? They have plenty of time, and the later they go gold the smaller a day 1 patch will be.
