Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (August 2025)

30, maybe 35 years ago I'd have bought two or three. But I'm still happy with a ridiculous backlog. And after spending 5 hours in the flipper museum in Budapest this week I'm back on pinball arcade Attack from Mars which is no longer available as a Bally table. Oh and I've bought the Thing remastered to play. Gaming is good.

Re: Eye-Opening PS5 Sales Data Reveals Why Microsoft Is Porting Xbox Games

Bit of a weird one. We were keeping Mincraft and Call of Duty. So never porting. And they have billions to recoup from their take over anyway. I have forza 4 on steam deck so know I don't need another map of icons in my life, the rest will be bargain bin anyway. There's no Mass Effect moments there for me. Bough a 360 for it. 😁

Re: 'It's Not About Checking Off a Map, It's About Engaging with What Excites You': Ghost of Yotei PS5 Gameplay Stuns

I only buy a few games, and now having a PC too I seem to have bought them again. So a game has to tick what I want to play and a single player approach is exactly it, Tsushima has been beaten to platinum on psn(PS4 and PS5) and all achievements on steam. It shows that when done right a single player experience is still achievable. Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, eventually, GTA4, RDR 1&2, inFamous. Cat nip for the oldie. There are many more I know but can't just list em.

Re: Single Player Games Aren't Dead, 'They Just Have to Be Good', Says Larian Studios CEO

Multiplayer options are irrelevant. I started out single player in the 70's or local coop in the living room. I haven't experienced an online part of a game in over a decade as its generally an awful experience. Apart from racing, then it's great to play virtual dodgems with all the carp as I never play enough to get top leagues. But my kids do nothing else. Bit of balance there.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Pondering the Point of Days Gone Remastered After Graphics Comparison Emerges

Slippship

It's a proper chalk and cheese game isn't it. I got the game with my ps plus ps5 purchase and never played it. Bought it for 7 quid on steam and played it four or five times through on deck.

It shows that ps plus games are often ignored over purchases for me. I have completed on ps5 now on a big screen and it's a belter. Free roam instead of tlou handholding is for me a lot better. Controversial I know.

Re: Days Gone Remastered Is Real, Out for PS5 This April

Slippship

One of the best games I've played. I also have it on Steam so I can take away on steam deck. The horde mechanics are incredible. The story is excellent and it's the most underrated ps4 post apocalypse game. I shall be getting the extra on PC, but will definitely get it on PS5.

Re: PlayStation Users Miffed with Sony's Lack of PSN Outage Transparency

Slippship

Well we paid for a service. Yes they gave us five days back. I'm glad everyone now sees what this always online madness is going to do to your digital purchases. Void and unusable. Sony need to find a way of letting you own your purchases no matter it be drive or digital. PC users face the same drivel from the power hungry like EA and Rockstar.

Re: PSN Downtime Raises Fresh Questions About PS5's Future Functionality

Slippship

Knew this gen was never going to work whilst away for months on a ship, without WiFi. I could have used ps4 or ps3 but opted on a steam deck. Now unless you are online you can't.play single player anything from EA, or Rockstar. I managed to get Ubisoft working after a faff, but you need internet to start. It's annoying when you've bought your licence or whatever garbage they call it this year, but I bought it. It may say in the 50000 page smallprint that I must always be online, anyone read it. Mass effect on steam needs an EA login and always online, no multilayer, just corpo neredowells forcing their rules on us. It's only getting worse going digital.

Re: Best Sci-Fi Games on PS5

Slippship

Astrobot is not Sci fi, its a psn platform er full of gaming references. May aswell have put spyro there, or crash. But there's a lot of off the wall features lately.

Re: Best Sci-Fi Games on PS4

Slippship

Astrobot is as Sci fi as my left trainer. Elite Dangerous is a Sci fi game. No man's sky is a Sci fi game. The outer world's is a Sci fi game.
