I've been playing marathon with wildcat kicks this evening and everything was hunkey dorey...

@CroCopTeam yes wolverines face. I don't like it. He just dosnt look gruff enough (personal opinion alert) and just looks like he's about to have a time out and ask somebody for a hug. I wonder if there's a point in the game where he asks somebody to go outside and "touch some grass bub." The game looks pretty good but I'm just not getting the awesome vibe. Maybe in a sale at some point.

@ear__wig I love the ironic comments.

I'm so bald I blind drivers with the sheen on my head..its my super power.

I can't wait to jump into this next weekend. Not bothered about the lack of haptic as they irritate my old fingers anyway so I turn them off. Reading the review I was expecting a 7/10 so I was surprised when I saw the 9...Happy days.

@KundaliniRising333 " If that doesn't concern you, we have reached true idiocracy the movie in real life." I'm not pissed off but I am concerned. As always I vote with my wallet and only purchase things I think are a fair price or I wait for a sale. Please dont cast me in your idiocracy movie 👍

@RoomWithaMoose well I'm not pissed so that only makes 99% so far..that's not everyone.

@ButteredCrumpet 🤣

Selling less units but maintaining profitability...

@ButteredCrumpet "1917, that’s the BF based on @Northern_munkey birth year." 1972 you cheeky little upstart..

@ButteredCrumpet @species try hitting a golf ball in a straight line...I'm a f**king warlock..

"Activision’s overpriced Call of Duty: Black Ops ports have sold like crazy on the PS5." Probably because the majority of people bought them at the knocked down price point. I've seen similar ports sell for the same price and not get the same criticism as these are getting. They were always marketed as bare bone ports and from what I can gather they do run in full 1080p @60fps so that's a bonus as I remember the original ps3 versions being very soft looking and not that smooth. Obviously a hell of a lot of people wanted these and they are obviously enjoying them so what's the issue? If you bought them and are enjoying them have at it and be happy..if you bought them knowing they are nothing but the original versions and want to complain well there's not a lot I can say really.

@SEVENTEENSOILS as somebody else already said they bring these modes to the table to see how it works out and then make them permanent in the next season if they generate interest.

@tselliot to be honest drunken bar brawl game looks like it could be the perfect wind down game after work sometimes..who's not wanted to hit their gaffer/annoying co worker with an Ash tray?

@wildcat_kickz off topic here I know but I checked out that uss constitution and that is a mighty impressive ship.

@wildcat_kickz you knows it brother 🤣

@GuttyYZ yes I will definitely make a point of getting a few sessions in with you which reminds me a quads option would be a must. I always feel bad when you jump online but I'm already in with those 2 other reprobates.

@wildcat_kickz well I guess plagiarising somebody else's artwork and having to settle probably contributed to the high costs (just getting that in before somebody else does 🤣.) Seriously though I can't for the life of me begin to fathom out where all that money went. We don't know how many versions were scrapped before they settled on what we have.

@wildcat_kickz they could make episodic content I guess with each season.

@Chaotic_Goat why? What's funny about that pray tell? I think it's a great idea and would really help those players who are struggling to collect epic gear gain a better foothold in the games main mode.

@wildcat_kickz I agree. It could do with a whole suite of multiplayer options. Free for all would be pretty epic. How about a hunt the rook mode?

@Oram77 same here obviously. I don't need to tell people how much I like marathon. What it really needs is a dedicated pve mode that uses all the maps on a rotational method. The UI still needs work even though its far more accessible than launch. I'm hoping marathon can become something better than it already is and I'm hoping they can create something that appeals to the casual player (I count myself as a casual marathon player) and entice more people in.

I literally only bought a psvr2 for GT7 and I upgraded to the ps5 Pro too but I've purchased arizona sunshine remake and lumines arise and they are really good especially lumines. No man's sky is just superb too. Its a shame the psvr2 isn't supported more but I feel I've more than gotten my moneys worth just with GT7 alone.

I'm waiting on flatout vr and the postal remake from flat to vr studios. Their games are damn good.

@ButteredCrumpet yeah that person looks as though they've removed their account. I never understand why people feel the need to be that toxic. It can't be good being them.

@Aquariusjive "No physical, no buy." The new tinternet meme in full force.

I've always fancied avatar but I just never pulled the trigger so it's definatly going to be on my play list. Same with rise of the Ronin. I had dying light on my PC and I was enjoying it until my PC decided to give up the ghost so another title that's on the play list. Great month for me and now I just need the time.

@get2sammyb not your biggest fan at the moment (not you specifically) but I have to agree with your sentiment that some people just don't read anything properly or are that blinkered they've become dillusional.

@Unpopular_Commentor so you are not a PlayStation gamer? Why are you even here troll?

@IntrepidWombat that's a bummer. My eldest dog bear turns 9 in September and his son bozzer turns 2 next month. I don't know how I'll cope when the inevitable happens. So sorry to hear about your dog mate 👍

@DaveHero75 PS love to Stoke the fires but don't like it when they get burned. I have a fair few friends on here that I game with on a very regular basis and I would never have met them if it wasn't for PS..but that's about all I have to thank PS for and the only reason I'm still here.

@KingPev well buckle up because the ride ain't over.

@UltimateOtaku91 "The toxicity over this is getting out of hand now." Only now?

@Boxmonkey "The maps are too small and with no real jeopardy." You clearly haven't spent any time in outpost or cryo archive..you probably only played the server slam.

@get2sammyb so you want to publish articles about sonys decision to stop manufacturing discs almost every day but you don't want people to complain about you doing it? You can't have your cake and eat it.

Mandragora whispers of the witch tree. Absolutely stunning metroidvania/souls type game and it's got a hold of me. The usual marathon session this evening and the obligatory rally stint as well. Its a bit cooler so I might get out the psvr2 and hit up GT7. Have a great weekend folks 👍

@mvhess so you're not bothered about what I think but you are curious as to why I think that way? I don't even know where to begin with that. I didn't say this particular article was a rage bait one either (read what I said again.) I really think you need to let this go as its quite clearly bothering you and before you say its not ask yourself why you keep responding. Let's not fall out over a difference of opinion please and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

@mvhess you may not be bothered but the fact you keep replying says otherwise. I'm watching you disappear in my rear view mirror as I move on..

@RoomWithaMoose I've got to be careful I don't get labeled a "shill" or "corporate apologist" when I tell you that marathon is currently much better to play than when it launched. It's much tighter and balanced and is a much more enjoyable experience. There's a lot to learn and personally I still think the UI needs some work. I think too many people listened to what the hate train had to say and formulated their opinions based on that which is a shame. Hopefully it does go f2p as I think it will bring more casual players in.

@mvhess why are you that bothered what I think? I'm no corporate apologist either. To indulge your contemptuous questioning of me I didn't imply it was no big thing nor did I trivialise the loss of employees livelihoods. What I was saying is that I'm more likely to believe what somebody who actually works for Id has to say other than a journalist who is relying on speculation to come to conclusions. PS actively gaslights,virtue signals and publishes many rage bait articles that I sometimes find egregious and unnecessary. So for the record for me personally it's a moot point what you think of me or my opinion which at the end of the day is just that..my opinion. So let's agree to disagree,draw a line under it and move on 👍

@wilky2988 yes I do. Season 3 has a pve mode coming and I think f2p would be the best option for bungie to take. I play marathon most evenings although I've not played much of anything whilst the world cup has been on but I'm back on it now and I'm loving being back with the lads.

Brilliant extraction shooter and plays so damn well but it is a niche game and pretty hard-core. I enjoy solo runs but with my usual squad mates is where it really shines. I can see it going f2p at some point and I think it's a crying shame it's not doing better but I'll be there right up to the end.

@ButteredCrumpet not your friends sister I hope 🤣

@ButteredCrumpet "Leave the one liners to Sammy, he’s far better at the dad jokes." It was all going so well up until that point. Seriously though thankyou 👍

@mvhess nice try..I never said there wasn't losses or the team was down sized. I said they were returned to the same size they started from. Shill? You need to understand what a shill is.

@CallMeDuraSouka despite all the doom and gloom surrounding the supposed demise of PSVR2 its actually doing fairly well in terms of games. I am waiting for the flatout game to drop later this year. GT7,lumines arise and no man's sky are more than enough for me at the moment. Lumines is fantastic.

@Mr-Cage "Not constant speculation." Welcome to push Square 🤣...oops a removal is imminent..

@get2sammyb "The Doomguy doth protest too much." Well I guess he's in the better position out of the two of you to know what's really happening. I wonder who's word I'll take 🤔. "But I can’t help feeling there’s a degree of gaslighting going on with all these denials." I have this sentiment about a lot of your articles recently so I guess it's working for both party's. By all accounts the team has been shrunk to the original size it was in 2016 and they produced a whopper of a game in the doom reboot. I'm hoping everything works out great for them.

My nephew plays this religiously on his ps5 and talks about it none stop but I can't in all honesty see what he likes about it. It's very average in just about all aspects. If it was VR enabled I would probably grab it but no man's sky is and is vastly superior.

@Mr-Cage I genuinely don't like anyone enough to begin hating them..does my wife count 🤔 (just joking)..
