DLC characters are disappointing imo. No voice lines and the weapons have generic qualities, not personalised. For example Baze Malbu's blaster shoots a slow rate single blaster bolt while in the movie he had a heavy weapon type blaster. Big missed opportunity with the DLC. They could have added new levels/missions and they would have been snapped up.
I had to double check what I was reading, as I thought it was a co-op list. Less than half the games on here would be classed as true co-op. Going by this list, it seems every game is co op, as all you do is hand the controller over to your friend if they want a go 🙄
But seriously, the best co-op games IMO are the Borderland series, Destiny 2, Overcooked, A Way Out, Lego Skywalker Saga, every Lego game..
Not sure if it's been said anywhere else but I think here in Australia we'll be getting a fourth tier: PS Plus Deluxe. This is because we don't get or never had PS Now streaming here, so this will apparently be a tailor made tier for us down under. So no streaming for us again. Not sure of the price point..
As I a big Borderlands fan I was unsure about this one. BL2 was the pinnacle, with The Pre-sequel being good and BL3 was average and disappointing. Also I'm not a big fan of the fantasy/D&D genre in general and was afraid all that magic would not fit in with Borderlands world.
Boy was I wrong. The gameplay is as fun and tight as it's ever been, and the new magic/spells fit in perfectly. The quests and missions are entertaining and funny with a few actual laugh out loud moments for me. The level/area design and locations are some of the best of the series. The only downsides so far are technical, being visual hiccups in the menu and online/co op connectivity, which can both be patched.
I do highly recommend this if you're after a fun shooter, even if you disliked BL3. Yes it's more of the same but it's varied and improved enough to make it different from previous games in the series.
These tech demos of realistic graphics have been shown for years. But still only cut scenes can process this realism. We have yet to see a full game if this quality.
@tomassi my guess that it will be the original Lego style characters from when the first game came out: yellow heads, basic face details, bad hair styles.
I used to love the Destiny franchise. When it was released it had probably the tightest shooting mechanics there are, fun and challenging loot missions, and some awesome gun designs.
Then they slowly removed expansions. You can no longer travel to certain planets and moons, all armour gradually looked the same, and everyone was using similar firearms. Bungie took away our gameplay freedom and ripped us off by removing content we paid for.
And when will it return from the vault? Who knows. Maybe in 5 years time when the re-release the game as an anniversary edition and charge another $50. They had the chance to make something bigger with plenty of locations, customisation and characters but stuffed it up IMO.
I'm a massive Borderlands fan, with #2 being my all-time fave. When I saw this trailer I didn't get excited as I usually do for a BL game. Not sure if it's the magic aspect, the setting (not a fan of D&D, GoT, etc,) or that it had it wasn't entirely a FPS with guns.
I'm still on the fence about it, and won't be a day 1 purchase like usual. Guess I'll be waiting for reviews to come in. Plus I'll probably still be playing 2022 GOTY, LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga by the time I make my mind up😍😍😍
This beta was just Battlefield 4 with extra bugs and a new map. It was chaos, but not in a good way. There is was no teamwork at all. No one was dropping ammo boxes, no one was reviving, it was just people running around blowing things up and shooting anything that moved, friend or foe. I'll stick to Hell Let Loose for my multiplayer teamwork for now.
The only games that grabbed my interest were Project Eve and Tchia. They looked new and fun. The rest of the showcase were games we've known about, seen before or played before. And why remaster the Uncharted games? The visuals are already great, what else can you change? I wasn't expecting much but was still underwhelmed. Plus with nearly every game telling me 2022, I think why show me now? Show me closer to release or give a set date. I'll forget about the games that get delayed.
Cringey dialogue and cutscenes, gameplay is fun at first but after a while becomes repetitive and costume unlocks are mostly similar. Don't think I'll play again after the Beta.
I noticed today (Thursday 19th) that an update downloaded for Ghost of Tsushima for about 16gb. This was on my PS5. Wondering if that has anything to do with the free PS5 upgrade or just preparing for the DLC. Either way I'll be buying the DLC tomorrow. GOTY 2020 for me.
RDR remake would be awesome. They already have most the assets from RDR2, just need to add the missions and map portion of Mexico. Instant buy for me. I'd also be interested in GTA4.
Hopefully the combat isn't too complicated with too many buttons. Absolved was interesting but had too many stances, etc and became confusing after a while.
Great game, it took me about 10 hours to platinum. Visuals were near perfect, story was ok, but gameplay was repetitive. Not a game I'd replay due to already finished it 100%. Overpriced.
Could be interesting. I'm a big Borderlands fan so if plays similar than count me in. Although was never a big Tiny Tina fan, found her annoying and overrated to be honest. Hopefully the other characters have personality.
I understand that MP is their strong point but this looks like garbage. I've enjoyed every BF up until now. Wait for the microtransactions, loot boxes and other greed.
@AgentGuapo well if that's the case, I'll only play it if it requires online connection and makes me purchase perks and abilities through micro transactions. And if she's not wearing a bikini on the box art, forget about it.
I have no problem with how she looks. She looks more female than other gaming females. And i'm assuming she identifies as female in the first place. As long as this game doesn't force their views or current hot topics down my throat (like other big games have), i'll be buying this as i loved the first game.
I had a feeling that this game would maybe fail to deliver. It looked interesting from day one but the world seemed empty and the combat seemed basic and repetitive. It looked like a last generation game (PS3 era). will probably still play it it when it drops in price.
I wonder if they'll cast the actor that played/screencapped Jin, or a Japanese actor, or if they go the usual Hollywood route and cast a big name actor who doesn't fit the bill (IE the Rock) 🙄
I really want to play this game, but not sure if I should wait to buy a PS5 and PS5 game release, or just bite the bullet and play it on my PS4 Pro and hope for the best. Any PS4 Pro players enjoying it?
With microtransactions being "phased out", developers have to make their money somewhere, so they sell airtime in their games instead. This will go on for 5 years until the next money making scheme arrives.
I hope they say what they mean. I've heard this before from developers, only to have waypoints and maps marked showing every collectible, ruining the exploration of the game.
These sales are very predictable. Every few weeks it's the same games discounted at various prices. I've seen some of these games cheaper during previous PS Store sales. I shouldn't be complaining thought, I've got massive back log of games to get through. I guess I'm a digital game hoarder.
Sorry but what's the point of writing an article on a topic which you have zero information on? It's like saying "PS5 release games": we don't know, there might be a driving game, or a shooting game, or game about building robots made of cheese". These articles are just clickbait. You might as well start a topic on PS6 release date, price and games.
Found the video very boring. Doesn't matter how fast this is or how many of that it has, if the games are bad then it's all for nothing. More power dont mean better games. Look at Breath of the Wild. Probably the best game of this generation and it's on the weakest console. Just show me the games and system dashboard and then I'll be impressed.

Re: Best Racing Games on PS5
Art of Rally is highly recommended. Great gameplay, replayability, stylish visuals and a thumping soundtrack.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS5) - The Best LEGO Game in Years, This Is
GOTY for me. I'll be playing the episodes in the order of the film releases: 4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9.

@tomassi my guess that it will be the original Lego style characters from when the first game came out: yellow heads, basic face details, bad hair styles.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga DLC Adds Mandalorian, Rogue One Characters, More
I wish they'd make actual levels/episodes for these movies/tv shows and not just characters.

Re: GTA Trilogy Now Removed from PS Store Ahead of PS5, PS4 Remasters
I could never get into GTA 3, I was hoping they would rerelease GTA IV instead.

Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's New Gameplay Trailer Will Make You Grin
Yeah disappointed with the constant delays. Though still a day one purchase for me. Does look good, and the open-world style planets sound fun.

Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption Remaster Planned, But Could Depend on GTA Success
Please be true. And include Undead Nightmare. Instant GOTY.

Re: PS Plus July 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Was looking forward to the WRC9 rumour. COD is the only one that slightly interests me.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus July 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked, But Evidence Is Shaky
I would love WRC9, Ive played and enjoyed Lost Legacy, and I played A Plague Tale on Xbox and it didn't interest me.

Re: Battlefield 6 Reveal Confirmed for 9th June
I didn't mind BFV as I enjoyed the WWII setting. BF3 is my fave if the series so far, before the hackers moved in.
Re: Aloy Trends As Fans Discuss Horizon Forbidden West Hero
@AgentGuapo well if that's the case, I'll only play it if it requires online connection and makes me purchase perks and abilities through micro transactions. And if she's not wearing a bikini on the box art, forget about it.
