There is just a lot of negativity in almost every comment section on this site now. Over the past few years it’s been gradually getting worse.

I love video games, it’s easily my favourite hobby, but coming here, you would think it’s about to end.

Well done again to Astro Bot.

However, they could only manage 3 nominees for racing.

:ridiculous_current_support_of_the_racing_genre_sad_face:

While I’ll take whatever they are working on, I wish Sumo could remaster or make a sequel to Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast. Even if it just meant editing the cars enough to make Barraris. Haha.

Such a great game.

Answer G: I want more God of War, but not sure what setting, or if I even care. I just want more God of War.

@Member_the_game That game was bad on so many levels. The SNES Back to the Future II game. I wanted it for ages because I liked the look of the screenshots. I wasn’t happy in the end. Haha.

The Telltale game I 100% on the PS3, I remember forcing my way through most of it. But it was ok.

@BusyOlf You made me think I had been saying it wrong for the past (almost) 40 years. Hahahaha. 1.21 Gigawatts.

@savarunl Never said I was playing a multiplayer game. I never play multiplayer games. I’m playing the High on Life at the moment. I was playing last night, turned the PlayStation on and it’s fine now too. Must have completely missed the downtime.

I’m earning trophies and they are syncing.

People playing on my friends list too.

Edit 4 hours later Played for about an hour and a half this afternoon (would be 11am GMT). Turned it off. Just come back a couple of hours later and now it appears to be down for me too. Trophies no longer syncing. 2 I achieved for beating Douglas in High on Life synced fine about 3 hours ago.

Must have got lucky, it was fine for me last night and just turned it on and it’s fine this afternoon. Playing as I type this.

@torquex Yeah, some games are a bit better with how they work, allowing to reset etc. But I just meant don’t like them in general.

Large recent games that come to mind are Final Fantasy Rebirth and Cyberpunk 2077. Both took me around 100 hours over about 4-5 months.

Really looking forward to this, however skill trees are up there with my most annoying game mechanics. I always feel like I’m wasting points on the upgrades or if I’ve gone down the wrong path completely.

@RadioHedgeFund Still amazing all these years later.

Put a ton of time into it on the Series X and PC via Game Pass. I’ll 100% buy it on PlayStation and play through it all again.

The theme designs are terrible.

The PS1 boot up sound however… heavenly.

Probably the only Xbox series I would buy and replay again on PS5. Such a great game. Shame PlayStation only players will never experience 1, 2, 3 and 4. The best for me was 3. 4 and 5 are still top class games though.

Looking forward to it.

@PuppetMaster Street Fighter 2 V doesn’t get the love it deserves. It’s great.

@Bri-Die I’ve got KMFDM - Ultra stuck in my head now. Haha. That movie had a great soundtrack.

Absolutely love my PSVR2 and VR in general. Use both this and my Quest 3 all the time. Could do with more 1st party support, but there are loads of great games to play.

I’ve been playing it on the Pro on and off for a few weeks now. Just went back to clean up for the Platinum.

I ran into this flickering at random times and the only way to fix was to restart. Played last night and it didn’t run into it.

I forgot how annoying collecting for the Platinum is on these Jedi games. I’ve been getting flashbacks of the map from the first one. Haha.

Shame because it was great fun on the Quest 3. Would’ve definitely bought it again if they made a PSVR2 version.

It’s the internet in general. You can see it getting worse and worse everywhere. It’s not a gaming community issue, it’s a people issue.

Yep, as many have said, bring it to PSVR2. Bring all the lightgun games to PSVR2. Do it. Do it now!

@Blauwe_Chimay Renewals still count. It’s being cut in March as far as I know.

I use it all the time, use all my points redeeming store credit. I think I’ve redeemed about £130 and have enough for another £5 at the moment. Nice little bonus. I do most of the simple “play this” campaigns too. Wouldn’t spend points on a collectible though.

It really needs more integration with the consoles.

Top-tier PSVR2 game too.

@GoatFace04 They need to port it to PSVR2. If you mean to drop the VR side, that’s what gave it the magic. It’s unbelievable how good that game is in VR.

Brilliant month. I own all of them, but if you don’t, there is some great gaming there.

Between this and Final Fantasy Rebirth for me, so glad to see it make the top spot. Well and truly deserved.

Just wish more people would’ve played Astro Bot Rescue Mission all those years ago. Easily one of the PS4’s best games.

Happy New Year everyone! 2025 has the potential to be huge for gaming. Hope you all have the best year of your lives!

Utterly bizarre.

Merry Christmas to all. Hope you all got some great gaming gifts and as I said in the other thread, may your gaming time be rich and platinumful.

I’ve purchased it, sounds brilliant from all the reviews I’ve watched. Now I just need to find time to play it.

Christmas time seems to be a very low gaming time for me since the mid to late 90’s. Merry Christmas to everyone though, may your gaming time be rich and platinumful.

1. Astro Bot
2. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
3. Vampire Survivors

@djlard Hi-Fi Rush came out the year before on other formats and made the cut, so strange it was excluded, definitely much better than a lot on the list.

So far I’ve only played The Crew Motorfest, Jedi Survivor, Gran Turismo 7 and No Man’s Sky. All look great. Really looking forward to trying more VR stuff.

I watch game related stuff, like trailers and podcasts on YouTube, but I never watch people playing games and I definitely don’t watch Twitch.

For me it’s Astro Bot, very closely followed by Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

As others have said, give us the option to keep it.

So glad Sony entered the gaming space. They changed the face of the industry. Some of my favourite gaming memories have been on PlayStation. Brilliant 30 years.

@stBoa I’ve got a wheel and played for a bit with it. For me it just doesn’t feel right playing it on a wheel, I feel like I need that quick twitch reaction on a pad.

Just randomly cruising is fine, but races just don’t feel good to me.

This series is the only Xbox exclusive I absolutely love. I’ve put 100’s of hours into the franchise. It’s a shame we won’t get Horizon 3. For me, that was the pinnacle of the franchise. 4 was amazing too and while 5 is brilliant, it definitely lacks 3 and 4’s charm.

Still, I’ll buy 5 and go through it all again.

I bought it day one for the story mode. Never got around to starting it, it’s still factory sealed sitting on my shelf. Then the story expansion came. So I just thought I’d wait for the Ultimate Edition. Maybe it will be sooner now.

I’m not a fan of the way fighting games are done these days. It’s just spread out over way too many years. Content pack 78 coming 48 months after release. It’s also so confusing about what you get when they offer single packs and season passes. Some things included in season passes, some things aren’t.

I think I’ve got 3 or more versions of Street Fighter 4 and 5. Multiple Mortal Kombat X and 11. I absolutely loved Street Fighter 6, but haven’t spent a single penny on DLC and I’ve lost track of what they’ve offered.

I’d rather they bombarded you for a year with DLC then offered a complete edition a year later. I know they won’t for money reasons but still, that’s what I would prefer if they have to make money on DLC.

I was one of them that had the £10 option. Good for people that had the options removed. Now the Reddit page can relax. Haha.

A real PlayStation legend. They will definitely lose a piece of their soul when he leaves. Thanks Shu!

I’ve been watching this one, it looks great. Wishlisted and will preorder the moment I can.

Already on my wish list, looks great. I’ll be getting it day one.

But it did remind me I still need to clean up the last few trophies on the Vita version of Twin Breaker. Need a couple more S Ranks and the 24 hour earth hours trophy. It’s been about 4 years since I last played, where has time gone!?

@belmont I was considering it but that Tifa mini game made me decide not to bother.

@Zemo55 Haha, nice. That’s exactly what I was able to get too. Both supposed to be arriving today too.

@lazarus11 It includes a grey disc drive cover.

Looking forward to checking this Pro patch, especially in VR. Apparently there is a noticeable difference. I always thought it looked amazing anyway so I can’t wait to check it out later.

I managed to get one in my basket at 9:04am UK time on PlayStation Direct but by the time I had sorted billing details it wouldn’t let me continue and they had sold out. Couldn’t even get an Edge or Portal. Never came back in stock. Absolutely gutted, really really hope they at least give us a chance to buy the 30th Anniversary faceplates.

Great, now Sony are making us guess what games are getting updated.
