@Others How many of you guys tried it? Or have you been lazy and followed a streamer playing the game? Furthermore, why are some so focused on this failing? If this fails there is a chance bungie would be closed.. You guys are the same people complaining about bluepoint but not buying any of their games ( Demon’s soul did not sell that well).
I played like 5 rounds already and it’s addictive. The shooting is snappy which I missed in ARC. Shooting somewhat feels like a lighter battlefield 6 which is something I was searching for. The UI is busy but once you know the basics it’s not that disturbing anymore. I also like leveling up and performing tasks in world. Overall, I think this will be my go to multiplayer after battlefield 6 (which says a lot as I quiet ARC relatively fast).
@reek I played marathon and the gameplay is very good so hopefully it exceeds. Nothing wrong with some online games. BTW how many of you played Demon’s soul of Bluepoint?
@Boxmonkey If Sony is going full online multiplayer / life service it’s the end of the road for me. Guess I will purchase a pc or go full Nintendo (but dislike that company as well due to the pricing of their games saying at full price..)
Great article Sam! I replayed demon’s souls like 5 times (that’s even more than my play throughs of uncharted 2 which is also one of my favourite games)… Bluepoint did nothing wrong and Herman Hulst is to blame for the direction they went (life service)… Nothing wrong with life service but they put all the eggs in one basket
PS5: Mainly Spider-Man 2 which I bought on sale. I am really loving it 🥳. I just love collecting stuff and finishing districts. Also some Arc raiders when I’m in the mood but still downloading EA: WRC (slow internet..)
1. Arc raiders; played a match yesterday with a random Swedish guy. We got ambushed by far better players than us and won. Then at the extraction our other team mate shot at a rocketeer resulting in our deaths (but still extracted). What a rush! 2. Battlefield 6: best multiplayer shooter in years. Now trying to use the sniper as a rifle (no scope). 3. Astrobot: replayed it yesterday and during the year. Ending with Winter Wonder level which was fantastic. Still need to do some remaining speedrun challenges. 4. Dead Island 2: was not impressed initially but it has grown on me. 5: Yakuza 0: love the game but sometimes it feels a little slow. The music in the game is superb (Friday night anyone?!)
Great, wanted the PSR sniper but 150 headshots above 200 meters was almost impossible (also the DMR challenge sucks as the DMR in battlefield are almost the worst weapons of the game imho)
This really make me miss the SSX games. I remember when in was younger we do sleepovers while playing Tekken, SSX and GTA (ps2 era) till the morning hours.
@species @Northern_munkey I second that! Have not touched the singleplayer but multiplayer has been a blast. Nothing more fun than popping heads and blasting tanks with C4. Another fun thing to do is to use the repair tool to kill a tank or other players.
@PuppetMaster Fair point! And yes I try when possible to buy hand made stuff (like toys for my children)… but that comes a cost (bought I handmade wooden kitchen for €300)
@Oram77 Yeah, lets keep it friendly. Have nice weekend. Btw I did not say insulting Erika is fine (who said it?). I can dislike someone without insulting them right?
I did not buy this game because it feels like (after watching trailers and gameplay) that is not really exciting (was little bit worn out after completing iki island).
Moreover, I disliked the voice actress Erica Isshi and the whole celebrating of Charlie Kirk’s dead which is already covered by multiple people on this topic @Chasloyal @tselliot @Northern_munkey
Battlefield 6 for the coming weekends!! Having a great time. Yesterday teamed up with @Northern_munkey . If others wish to play together please add me on PSN 😀
@Kraven Yeah, this was the trailer I was looking for. I was disappointed in all the trailers until now. They really stepped up with performance of the characters

Re: Hands On: Marathon Is Dense, Demanding, and Drop Dead Gorgeous
@Nnfyrbsnss You commenting 10.000 times is clearly the indication it failed. Maybe just let people enjoy this game and play a game YOU like.

@DualWielding I played Marathon yesterday and it’s very fun to play (coming from a mainly singleplayer gamer).
Re: Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Release Date Announced
I am so much looking forward to this after Spider-Man 2!! I hope the gameplay has that visceral pop similar when Peter has the symbote surge
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 621
@Northern_munkey You need to help me with the setup of the wheel settings 😁. Need to attach this to my desk (still no play seat 😅)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 621
I just got the platinum trophy for Spider-Man 2! What a game ♥️. I am now in the mood for a similar game to complete 😁. Any suggestions?

Re: Game of the Year: #6 - ARC Raiders
@Northern_munkey This so much! It’s really becoming my GOTY, but I got ambushed a couple of times by so called friendlies with their stitchers…
Edit: I am indeed a little bit to noob to play with! Hopefully when I am up to speed we can raid!
Re: Game of the Year: Stephen's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2025
My top 5 this year (also includes older games):
1. Arc raiders; played a match yesterday with a random Swedish guy. We got ambushed by far better players than us and won. Then at the extraction our other team mate shot at a rocketeer resulting in our deaths (but still extracted). What a rush!
2. Battlefield 6: best multiplayer shooter in years. Now trying to use the sniper as a rifle (no scope).
3. Astrobot: replayed it yesterday and during the year. Ending with Winter Wonder level which was fantastic. Still need to do some remaining speedrun challenges.

5: Yakuza 0: love the game but sometimes it feels a little slow. The music in the game is superb (Friday night anyone?!)
Re: We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals (Home Alone reference)!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 612
PS5: Arc raiders (just purchased), battlefield 6, Yakuza zero and dead island 2. I am also looking forward playing GoW and GoW: Ragnarok again.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Surpass 3.3 Million Units, Crush Boycott Nonsense
@Oram77 Previous discussions about GoY 😅
EDIT: because it honestly pushes me even further from the possibility of purchasing this game. I normally really like PS games and really liked GoT
Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Surpass 3.3 Million Units, Crush Boycott Nonsense
@Oram77 Not to be an ass but your constantly bashing people for not liking the direction or their “choice” to not buy this game because of C. Kirk.
Why this constant zealous behaviour?
Re: Battlefield 6 Challenges Made Much Easier Following Community Feedback
@Northern_munkey Yeah, happy with that! Hopefully i will soon be online but little busy at work (overtime). I hope you feel better soon!!
Re: Battlefield 6 Challenges Made Much Easier Following Community Feedback
Great, wanted the PSR sniper but 150 headshots above 200 meters was almost impossible (also the DMR challenge sucks as the DMR in battlefield are almost the worst weapons of the game imho)
Re: Acclaimed Skiing Adventure Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders Finally Confirmed for PS5

Re: PS6 Could Be Less Than Half the Price of Microsoft's 'Very Premium' Next-Gen Xbox
@Can-You-Believe-Sith @LifeGirl Indeed it’s the next dotcom bubble. For now it’s a handy tool for me to rewrite sentences 😅
Re: PS6 Could Be Less Than Half the Price of Microsoft's 'Very Premium' Next-Gen Xbox
@Can-You-Believe-Sith I think it’s not only that. Microsoft is also in the AI race with Open AI, Google, Meta and others costing billions of dollars.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Battlefield 6?
@species @Northern_munkey I second that! Have not touched the singleplayer but multiplayer has been a blast. Nothing more fun than popping heads and blasting tanks with C4. Another fun thing to do is to use the repair tool to kill a tank or other players.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
PS5: Battlefield 6 & Kingdom hearts HD remix 1.5 and 2.5. Currently busy with the first game but the dragon form of Malificent is kicking my ass.

Re: Ghost of Yotei Sales Fall Off In Japan, But PS5 Exclusive Still Sticks Around in Second Place
@Oram77 I live in Europe so in heard about it. Furthermore, I think some people also discussed sales as a whole (US/ Europe/ Asia), so it’s relevant.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Sales Fall Off In Japan, But PS5 Exclusive Still Sticks Around in Second Place
@Oram77 What about it? This is also one of the reasons it may have sold less copies (not a large factor).
