I’ve just subscribed to PS Now for the equivalent of £5 per month and for that price I’m quite happy with the curated titles on offer...currently playing Arkham Asylum for the umpteenth time...but it’ll not stop me buying games on day one that I’m genuinely interested in.
The only thing that would make the service better for me would be having access to digital titles that I’d purchased via PS3 as I no longer have one.
Preaching to the choir there @Flurpsel...no fun to be had on Metro at all in my experience. Will definitely be making a return visit to BF5 though now that Days Gone is safely finished!!
I find myself far more compelled to continue on through it’s open world than I ever did with RDR2...what a bore of a game that is...currently working out how to both drift and boost at the same time for 5 seconds...and as @Nyne11Tyme said, the stealth kill animations never get old!
This was a weird one for me...the movement in it made me feel really sick...I lasted about 3 or 4 puzzles and had to delete it entirely...definitely not for me!!
@Shigurui Definitely...but I seem to have come across a game breaker though...while playing as the bird I can now no longer call out using the triangle prompt...I land on things that clearly require the assistance of other birds...see the prompt but pressing triangle does nothing!! I can change back to the boy and shout my lungs out using triangle but as soon as I become the bird I’m oddly silent despite the game expecting and requiring me to interact.
I’m actually starting to change my mind after another session with this. More intrigued by it now rather than frustrated and getting to grips with just being left to your own devices to figure it out!!
Beat Saber came out of absolutely nowhere for me...God of War was tremendous...Detroit was excellent and Spidey...while a little grindy...was a lot of fun!!
I was very pleased to see The Last of the Us Remastered at no. 3 with 127 hrs...not so pleased to see Destiny 1 & 2 sitting in 1st and 2nd place though...more of this sort of insight via your profile on the console itself would be great!!
RDR2 has been such a regretfull digital purchase already...the story and characters just haven’t engaged my in the slightest and I’m on chapter 4...the greed on show here is quite ridiculous!!
Completely deserving of the success...must have played it through 4 times already and never the same experience yet...great stuff and thoroughly recommended!!
God of War is still secure atop my GOTY list for sure!!
The world in RDR is second to none but I’m finding it really clunky and quite frustrating to play. More time me required to temper my initial issues but nothing that I can see that will push it ahead of God of War!!

Re: Wonder What the Heck Is Going on with New Story Trailer for Control
Dusted off the old 360 yesterday in readiness for a pre-Control play through of Alan Wake to tide me over.
If it even comes close to that level of brilliance then I’ll be very happy indeed!!

Re: Vane - Exploration Has Never Been Less Fun
@Shigurui Definitely...but I seem to have come across a game breaker though...while playing as the bird I can now no longer call out using the triangle prompt...I land on things that clearly require the assistance of other birds...see the prompt but pressing triangle does nothing!! I can change back to the boy and shout my lungs out using triangle but as soon as I become the bird I’m oddly silent despite the game expecting and requiring me to interact.
Strange!!

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PlayStation Game of the Year 2018

Re: Feature: What to Expect from PlayStation in 2019
@nessisonett This is my view also...March 2020 launch and getting 8 months and 10m consoles in homes before Microsoft get out the starting gate!!
Re: Poll: What Games Do You Plan on Playing Over the Holidays?
Beat Saber has been a post-Christmas dinner revelation!!
Re: 'My PS4 Life' Tells You How Much Time You've Put Into Your Favourite Games
