Loved my first play through. Decided to play again as a ninja and got blocked by the Oda boss battle. i.e. my char was too under powered, and I got wasted 20 times in a row. Cant be arsed to go back and level up a bit more. Especially since I'm only 70% through FF7:Rebirth
Already played most of the content so no. That being said, if it came on plus I might consider it for nostalgia reasons. My PS5 is the only gaming machine I have at the moment
I'm finally into Final Fantasy 7 rebirth and loving it. I've bounced off a bunch of FF games but this one has its hooks in. Only 20 hours so I know I've got a way to go...
Loved SotS as I did Pathless. I should go back and try Journey. The FPS guys also interviewed Nava and he talked about Sony’s help being essential. Interesting stuff
I think she's good for this. I'm not a huge Croft-stan, except she needs to be a upper class English woman trying to break out of her expected life with Indy style badass-ness
This genre isn't normally my thing, but it is growing on me. About a 1/4 the way through. Getting mildly freaked out a lot so that's cool. Health and ammo economy is kind of perfect
I’ve never been a platinum chaser so I just finished playing GoT when I finished the main story arc. I was already maxed out on all skills and stances so it was time to stop
I really wanted to like this game, but just couldn't do it. I like a good Western movie, but the whole Western mythology is boring to me (figure that out!)
Finished Hogwarts Legacy (which I really enjoyed), and I've begun Death Stranding. A huge amount of cutscenes in the intro, so about to start the game for real
I might get to it. I never played the original back in the day.
I like remasters. I played the remaster of TLOU2 for the first time. It was terrific. I understand the arguments that they are money grabs etc, but yeah, of course they are. If I've never played them before then I get to play a more modern, hopefully optimised version of the experience

Re: New PS5 Controllers Said to Be Optimised for Better Battery Life
I only play in short 2-3 hour sessions. Fix the drift

FF7: Rebirth. Just finished Red's chapter, and it was great. About to go into Aerith's one, I think. Love this game
AC: Shadows is next on the spindle though, thanks to the weekend sales

Chapter 10 of Final Fantasy 7: rebirth
One day I’ll finish that thing

@mary1 Perhaps you need to have a little lie down, eh?
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Is One of the USA's Best-Selling Games of 2025
@Reyzore I honestly hope that the anti-woke madness will just fade into oblivion.
All that ***** is so 2017-2020
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2025?
I’ve never played GTA5 so that’s a bonus for me. Pacific Drive sounds great and Thank Goodness you’re Here sounds funny as well
Good month for me
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?
Already played most of the content so no. That being said, if it came on plus I might consider it for nostalgia reasons. My PS5 is the only gaming machine I have at the moment
Re: Halo PS5 Is Great, But Why Doesn't It Have Competitive Multiplayer?
Never cared about Halo MP. Given its age I don’t care about SP either anymore
My stack of shame is way too high to care about this one
Re: These 22+ PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (27th-2nd November)
OW2 at some point. I’m still only a 1/3 of the way through FF7: Rebirth so it’ll be a while
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Was to Get DLC at One Point, Scrapped for the Third Game
Just playing ff7 rebirth right now and it’s awesome. It doesn’t need more content!

Not here in Australia. Grrrr
Re: Battlefield 6 Server Queues Are Absolutely Humongous on Launch Day
Is it fun. You know once you’re in?
Re: Remedy Upgrades Control with PS5 Pro Support, New Patch Out Now
One of my first PS5 games. Great stuff. Art design. Scifi/horror themes. Cool combat engine. Cool upgrade paths. Really looking forward to Control 2
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Now Available on PS Plus Extra on PS5, PS4
@Dogbreath I disagree. I really enjoyed TLOU2. The moral and ethical journeys are brilliant, and far more interesting than most game writing.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2025 Announced
Good month but I’ve played them all. Still finishing Spidey remastered which I’m really enjoying
Re: Latest Ghost of Yotei Trailer Is a Quick Hit Before PS5 Launch
I’ll wait on reviews but I loved GoT so I imagine this will be a buy for me
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined's PS5 Characters Are Based on Real-Life Models
@DonkeyFantasy if I hear the Stable theme from Breath of the Wild AND Tears of the Kingdom one. More. Time?…
Re: 'It Saved the Game': Sword of the Sea Dev Praises Sony, Explains PS Plus Deal

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Difficulty to Be Toned Down Following Player Feedback
I don’t have the time or patience for too hard games. Spider man remastered is more my level
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
Finished Sword of the Sea. Lovely stuff. Trying out Lies of P. Not sure just yet
Re: Game of Thrones Star Announced as Lara Croft for Amazon's Tomb Raider TV Show
I think she's good for this. I'm not a huge Croft-stan, except she needs to be a upper class English woman trying to break out of her expected life with Indy style badass-ness
Re: Rumour: PS6 Handheld Device Can Be Docked Like Nintendo Switch 2
Not for me. I dock the Switch right now
I like the solid predictable power of a console. I am sick of the PC micro-upgrade cycle
Re: Sony's Next Blockbuster Ghost of Yotei Goes Gold Ahead of October PS5 Release
Just a PR release but I’m pretty pumped about this one
Re: These 14+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out This Week (25th-31st August)
First timer MGS player so I’m definitely interested in that
Re: Path of Exile 2 Just Gets Better and Better, Is Totally Free to Play This Weekend on PS5
I’m gonna wait for the full release but I’m keen to support a small kiwi games crew
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
Hoping to finish Silent Hill 2. Then either Sword of the Sea and/or Lies of P
Re: Konami Wants to 'Consider Lots of Other Games' for Remake Treatment if MGS Delta Succeeds
@Porco It's meant to be pretty great though, even with the FPS issues. Jake Baldino was quite happy with it, and he's an MGS maniac
Re: Konami Wants to 'Consider Lots of Other Games' for Remake Treatment if MGS Delta Succeeds
@Jammer Basically yes for the tons of people who haven't played these classic games.
I've never played a Metal Gear game. I'd never played the Last of Us. I've never played FF7. So yeah, I'm a fan of remakes/masters
Oh yeah, and I'm currently playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Finally Out on 4th September
@NovemberEmber you are getting married on my birthday. Good omen 😄
Re: These 11+ PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (18th-24th August)
@Brundleflies21 you should watch the interview the FPS guys did with the Giant Squid designer. Very cool stuff

Re: Astoundingly Ambitious PS5 RPG Crimson Desert Looks Like It'll Ease the Wait for The Witcher 4
This kind of sword and sorcery stuff is pretty tiresome IMO.
Witcher was fine. Skyrim was great. etc etc, but this medieval setting is so played out now. Even Doom is in this space.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 594

Well, it is by the guys to made Journey, so you never know
Re: Take a Trip to the Dark Ages in PS Plus Premium Trial of New DOOM on PS5
Agree about the demos for everyone thing.
I'm waiting for a huge discount. Loved 2016, bounced off Eternal so I'm a little wary
Re: Ghost of Yotei Spotlights the Yari Spear in Latest PS5 Gameplay Clip
Loved GoT, so I'll probably get to this once it is discounts on my Wishlist
Re: Remedy Knuckling Down on Control 2, Max Payne Remakes
Never played MP so looking forward to the remake
Really hanging out for Control 2 though. Loved the first one. Brilliant setting, vibe, art style and combat engine
Re: 'We Won't Make You Do the Same Thing Over and Over': Ghost of Yotei PS5 Will Keep You Guessing

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590
On holiday in Spain so no PS5 but hopefully some Shmups on my Anbernic
Re: New PS5 Games for July and August 2025
I’ve never played a Metal Gear game so probably that one I would say
Re: K-Pop Supergroup Aespa Gives Street Fighter 6 Whiplash in PS5, PS4 Crossover Event
@AdamNovice saw them earlier this year. Brilliant fun crew
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025?
Bounced off the DIV grind. Enjoyed and completed Jusant. Not a fighting game guy so not much for me this month
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About The Last of Us Part 2, 5 Years Later?
I loved 1 and 2. Best game writing/story that I've ever experienced
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's PS5 Version Could Be Announced Next Week
I really wanted to like this game, but just couldn't do it. I like a good Western movie, but the whole Western mythology is boring to me (figure that out!)
Everyone else have fun!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 584
Playing Indy Jones and having a ball. Just need to play it as though you are Indy and you can ignore the Bethesda-style gameplay
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 582
Finished Hogwarts Legacy (which I really enjoyed), and I've begun Death Stranding. A huge amount of cutscenes in the intro, so about to start the game for real
Re: Oblivion Remastered Sales Prove the Power of Nostalgia and Shadow Drops
