@Cvantez it's still an opinion buddy and you've just done exactly what you pointed out to me 👍

@Realist it's the same when somebody voices their opinion and it dosnt resonate with the "herds" opinions therefore it must be,absolutely has to be wrong.

Personally I'm not bothered if the game I'm playing on the ps5 is available on other platforms. Sonys pc ports have been pretty bad in terms of optimisation and pretty much all of the games that have made their way to the ps5 from Microsoft have been disappointing to say the least apart from the sublime forza horizon 5 which is just superb. This exclusivity debate is getting to be like an eastenders story arc that never ends and just gets more tedious as time passes.

@Balaam_ I didn't actually see that much wrong with your comment. You didn't say his choice was crap in fact you said the opposite. You voiced your opinion in the same way those that have decided you are wrong do so the same way from time to time. At least you didn't mention trophys this time. I don't particularly like any of liams choices but they are his fave games of the year and if I posted my top 5 games I've played this year I think only 2 actually came out in 2025. Happy Christmas 👍

@CaptainWow personally I see nothing that even looks like it could be TLOU inspired. Yes it's a 3rd person game and yes the gunplay takes a bit of getting used to but it's absolutely nothing like TLOU. I can understand why people get bored quickly and get annoyed with the pvp but some of those that bemoan the pvp aspects of arc raiders go on to say they prefer the hunt showdown which is pure pvp and I just don't understand that. For me AR scratches an itch and I'm really enjoying it. Will I still be playing it this time next year? Probably not but let's see how embarks 10 year plan turns out.

@Sanquine we can raid whenever you want..I can ditch my 2 fellow raiders to help you with quests etc..

@BusyOlf it's these kind of moments that make me grin in this game. People are just focusing too much on the negatives and not the many,many instances of the community actually helping. I saw a player get brutally taken down by 2 rats..I downed the rats and revived the poor guy that got hammered and let him issue his own retribution on the filthy critters. We are now buddy's.

@KundaliniRising333 the cheaters are a big problem which is why I keep cross play turned off. There's always somebody who has to ruin what is a remarkable experience. Happy Xmas by the way bud 👍

Loving this game so much. I am playing regularly with the same 2 guys most evenings and there are a few guys on here who I keep meaning to party up with but it's hard when I've got 2 hard-core raiders who are on all the time. At first the rats were really starting to piss me off but now I eagerly await them with my stitcher and jolt mines at the ready. For me personally this is the GOTY.

@GamingGod GT7 is the main reason I am getting the pro and the psvr2..everything else is just a bonus.

@GamingGod hopefully I will next month. Cheers for the recommendation.

@naruball thanks and I'll happily take the blame if you enjoy it as much as I am.

@GamingGod no I've not got my pro yet but it's still on my list along with the psvr2..

@MrPeanutbutterz the new shinobi is the best of the 3..I have ragebound but I prefer the shinobi game.

@naruball glad you are enjoying it. Have you played ball pit yet? I have a similar problem you have in that I can't resist a great little rogue like..Ball pit is probably the best of them all to be honest and you've been warned 🤣

Happy Christmas everybody..So I've been playing mostly Arc Raiders with my 2 regular raiding buddy's one of which is a f**king liability to put it nicely. Reading how most of you guys are saying how great a game ball pit is I took a punt and Jesus I have to stop playing these vampire survivor type games because I can't stop playing the bloody thing. Assassins Creed shadows is installed and ready to go so i will be diving into that this evening. Have a great weekend folks as always 👍

@yume26 nice 👌. Glad you are enjoying it and I'm glad we could help. Any questions regarding settings etc just ask. Happy Christmas 👍

@Titntin I'm not fat but I'm working on the wasted bit..another guiness and I may be 🤣

@Titntin I got 7 too and feel a bit embarrassed...Happy Christmas buddy 👍

Nice to see Arc Raiders at the top of the list. Such an awesome game which has me glued to the ps5 for a few hours most evenings. Imperfect audio? The audio in AR is the best I've heard in any game and you know exactly which direction the action is at and it's very easy to hear the rats trying to sneak on you.

Such a tragic shame especially at this time of year. Vince zampella and Chris rea in the same week is a real loss regardless of whether you are a fan or not. R.I.P.

@naruball not quite sure as to why you are being negged on here. I thought your comment was Bob on to be honest.

@Jammer no..I imagine it's designed so it's your permanent record in order to stop people abusing the online ranking system.

I've always enjoyed racing games. However the ps5 threw 3 incredibly great driving games at me and those are in order of my preference..
1)Dirt rally 2.0
2)EA wrc
3)GT7
These 3 games transformed how I play and how I approach the racing genre. They are also responsible for making me fork out for a decent sim racing wheel and frame to house it. GT7 is a stunning game that is accessible to everybody and can be tweaked to accommodate all levels of driving abilities. I initially wasn't an adopter of GT7 because of all the negative things I'd read about the graphics being rubbish etc,etc,etc but when @Kidfunkadelic83 put his sale pitch to me (much the same way I allegedly bullied him into buying the T598) I took the plunge and bought it and I love it and one thing became very clear to me and that was all those people talking smack about the graphics have obviously never played it properly or have extremely bad eyesight. I'm a rally enthusiast foremost but that does not mean I like GT7 any less and I'm waiting for GT8 patiently seeing as PMR has turned out to be such a mess. Asseto corsa rally next year. Oh I'll be taking GT7 for a big spin soon once I get my ps5 Pro and psvr2..what a game.

@Zenszulu I agree it should get back on track..I'm removing my comments as I said my piece.

@AhmadSumadi @Number09 sorry guys but some things get my goat.

@SeaDaVie really?

Arc raiders for me and the obligatory rally session. I just bought painkiller in the sale so I'm also up for a bit of silly turn your brain off doom style mayhem. I must get back to BF6 as well because I've really been neglecting it and it deserves more respect from me but you know..Arc raiders. Anyhow have a great weekend folks 👍

@DanteDevilHunter fully upgraded stitcher is my rat killer of choice..

Uhmmm should I buy this or just play no man's sky with the psvr2 when I purchase it...No man's sky wins out even without the psvr2 headset.

Being a 53 year old gamer and in no way a Potter fan I really liked this game and enjoyed my time with it. When the ps5 was announced this was one of the games that immediately caught my eye and it turned out to be one of my favourite chill out games. I can't comment on the differing spell colours or descriptions of other spells as I had zero knowledge of the Potter verse but I still enjoyed the game. When I get my ps5 Pro I will jump in again to see how much better it is.

@get2sammyb would it be fair to say your following of this and reporting on it could also affect larian? I see no difference.

To all those saying "started well then said survival..." it was in the footnote under the header. Did you all miss that bit and if you didn't you just thought you'd read a bit further to have something to complain about? I for one will keep an eye out for this as I was dismissive of Arc Raiders which has turned out to be my GOTY thus far.

@Hamst88 agreed 100%

Yawn...another AI article that does nothing but spread more negativity. Did I read correctly that the AI is being used internally but is not actually being used in the game itself? I don't see the issue if that's the case therefore a load of hullabaloo about nothing again.

Asseto corsa rally.

@KundaliniRising333 the same was said about arc raiders. I myself was sceptical as to how good arc raiders would be but I took a punt on it and I really,really like it. I'll be giving marathon a go for sure as at that price point it's worth a try.

@Ichiban same way people get excited for those gacha crappy games (personal opinion.)

@KundaliniRising333 black myth was so much more than a boss run. There was loads of side quests if one could be bothered. Not sure why this is a ps5 exclusive if it launches on the pc at the same time? To me "exclusive" means it's on one format only..not two.

I remember back in the early 90's when I still had hair and my Sega megadrive. I bought the terminator game which took less time to finish than it did for me to travel into Manchester City centre,navigate the arndale centre to purchase said game. What a day that was and a disappointing 45 mins. £1 a minute.

Yeah this looks pretty epic. I'll keep an eye out for this one. I really liked the ascent too.

More Arc raiders,EA wrc and Dirt rally 2.0. My raiding buddy wants to try the outlast trials in co-op so I might try and scare myself sh*tless this evening..have a great weekend folks 👍

@get2sammyb commercial tosh but each to their own..

@Balaam_ when lotf launched it was a bit ropey but I never saw the resolution drop at all..it had frame rate dips and some screen tearing but the devs were on it super fast and it was sorted in a few days. Everything that was a bit iffy was super over exaggerated to the point I was actually laughing my arse off at some of the bullsh*t I was reading. I can't wait for this one.

@LogicStrikesAgain I can see your point.

@LogicStrikesAgain I'm an unapologetic ps5 fanboy..it would be a bit strange to include myself on a PlayStation centric site if I wasn't. Anyhow I think this game looks pretty decent. I loved left 4 dead 1+2 and I still enjoy a spot of back 4 blood as well. I was really enjoying BF6 until I bought arc raiders and that's my go to online game for the foreseeable. I hope this turns out to be great.

Avril Lavigne punk? The sex pistols,The clash,The damned hell I'd even go so far as to say The new York dolls are punk and let's not forget Iggy pop the grand daddy of punk..Avril lavigne 🤣

Now this looks great..on my watch list for sure.
