Like others have said, have a DLC or expansion award.

It’s been a brilliant year for me. Way too much to play, still haven’t got to half the stuff I’ve bought.

I really hope Astro Bot cleans up. Such an amazing game in almost every way.

I also hope Final Fantasy Rebirth does well too.

@Moonmonkey Agreed. The Tallneck is a beautiful piece, these look pretty crap. Kind of glad these aren’t the same level though. I don’t need to be buying more Lego sets. Haha.

Aside from the control scheme, the PSVR1 version was way better than it had any right to be.

The recent Quest 3 version is abysmal.

I just hope they manage to nail the PSVR2 version, they were so close on PSVR1. With the better controllers and raw power of the PS5, they can make this a must have.

The potential is strong. I just hope they pull it off.

Great month. Synapse is a must if you have a PSVR2 hat.

I don’t buy Lego even though I want most of it haha, but I got the Talkneck day one. Great set.

Surprised they didn’t have more ready to go at the launch of the game.

I still haven’t opened my copy. Sounds like a great update, glad I waited now. Looking forward to trying it out.

Got my Pro and I love it. Just wish it was the 30th Anniversary Edition.

Preordered and got it set up a few hours ago. Going to be the weekend before I can really get into it.

The sooner everyone drops review scores the better.

Had it preordered. Just got to wait until the weekend for some time to play it. Sounds great.

Downloading onto the ROG Ally. Should be right at home on it. It looks really good, the classic Metal Slug games always had some of the most beautiful pixel art.

Just got my call to say I can collect on the 7th. Really looking forward to it. Might even attempt the Platinum and do the second play through of this.

Already preordered. Not long to go, great week with PS5 Pro and this next week. Really looking forward to it.

Getting close. Really can’t wait. I love new gaming hardware days!

@Vaako007 That’s what I meant with the side plates instead. If they want to make it insanely difficult to get a console, the Edge controller or the Portal, there is nothing stopping them from releasing the grey coloured plates for the rest of us.

For beep sake, people want them, stop making them so difficult to get. I wish they would just do open preorders for a week or even a month and if you miss it, you miss it.

If they want the console to be so limited it’s extremely rare, at least sell us the covers in the PSX colours.

I managed to get a DualSense controller, that’s it. I wanted to buy it all.

Still working for me and my friends in the UK. £10 rewards available.

Yeah, this looked amazing at the reveal, I can’t wait to play it. Both my PSVR2 and Quest 3 are getting a lot of use at the moment, some great games on the horizon too.

Only the £10 option for me. Doesn’t really affect me, I’ve only ever used my points for £20 rewards. Just means I’ll claiming rewards twice as fast.

Looking at my history, I’ve redeemed £100 so far, it’s a decent service.

Sounds great. Really looking forward to playing this.

Creativity is as strong as it’s always been.

I think the problem is the sheer volume of games. Thousands and thousands at our finger tips. Triple A, Indie, full price, sales, subscription models and freebies. It is overwhelming. So much slips through unnoticed.

I have the same issue with things like Netflix, I spend more time browsing and never get around to actually watching anything. I’m sure there is a ton I’ve missed out on over the years.

“Games release pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss them”

I also wish Namco would add trophies to their stuff too. I’d love to get the platinums on Tekken and Ridge Racer.

Really looking forward to this, I hope they do the games justice.

Sold out. Not a surprise, but still gutted I couldn’t get one.

No, Io sono tuo padre!

Really looking forward to it. Glad it’s a very short wait.

@Realist Yeah, it’s not a hill worth dying on.

Got my Pro. Would’ve loved the 30th Anniversary. No idea how 53 of you guys managed it (currently), but congratulations! Very lucky.

Got my normal Pro with drive and stand. Would’ve loved the 30th Anniversary edition, but that was never happening.

Got mine, console, drive and stand. Looking forward to November.

Would’ve been great to get the 30th Edition but with only a tiny quantity being made, we had no chance.

It’s not something that I would be interested in playing on a TV but I’ll definitely get it to play on PSVR2.

The bigger PSVR2 news was Hitman (can’t see a story on it here?). It was brilliant on PSVR1 even with a Dual Shock controller.

I’ve been trying to play it on the Quest 3 for the past week and it’s so bad. It plays and looks like absolute crap. Really hope they nail it on PSVR2.

Metro looked great too. No mention of that either?

I’ve barely used my Series X since launch, but I bought a ROG Ally last year and have been using it mostly as a Game Pass machine. It’s brilliant.

I’d buy a PS6 and a handheld device day one.

I’d buy it all if stock allows.

Preordered the digital deluxe version and it’s installed ready to go when I get home tonight.

I can’t wait. I absolutely love the Dead Rising series.

Has any game they’ve released ever met their expectations?

The way games are rated today, it’s the easiest 10/10 you can get.

In old school game ratings it’s a,

GRAPHICS 93
SOUNDS 95
PLAYABILITY 99
LASTABILITY 73
OVERALL. 90

@FanCFeast It’s a lot bigger than people realise. The franchise as a whole is around 85 million sold, which places it with some of the biggest games of all time. Borderlands 3 sold 5 million in its first week.

I just don’t think it’s the kind of game that will get the gamers into the cinemas, especially when the casting is such a departure from the source material.

People that have no idea what is the game is, probably saw the trailer and just said “nope”.

The Crew 2 is 79p if anyone doesn’t have it and is still curious.

Mr. Mosquito twice in one month? Haha.

Pistol Whip is top tier gaming for anyone that still hasn’t played it. Absolutely amazing and non stop free DLC since day one.

@UnlimitedSevens Haha. That’s actually what I said on one of the other threads. Would be nice to just be able to walk into a shop and pick one up without preordering.

I’ll be going into my local store tomorrow or at the weekend to preorder. I can’t wait.

Final Fantasy VII & VIII are the only two Final Fantasy games I’ve not had to force myself to finish. Both really great games.

Had the the first game on the NES but hated it.

Attempted to played IV, V and VI but never clicked with any.

IX, I absolutely hated and stopped after about 5 hours.

Finished X, bought X-2 but never started it (actually bought it on Vita too).

Then pretty much skipped them all until Remake and Rebirth, which I love.

I think this is the only franchise I’m familiar with that is so hit and miss for me.

Preorder finger at the ready. Really looking forward to it.

The best 3D platformer since Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR for PS4.

I was never in doubt this would be amazing.

My game of the year so far.

@PuppetMaster Yeah in the battle hub, the sign up counter on the left as you enter. At launch they deactivated them because it was broken, then about a month or two later they reactivated, but when you signed up, it was some crazy timing like 9pm the next day. I signed up for one, waited until the next day, got into the match and almost instantly it disconnected.

I think I need to get the play 3 games, win 10 times and then I think I have the Platinum on it.

It’s an easy 10/10 for me, super addictive gameplay.

This is the 4th platform I’ve put a load of time into and it just doesn’t get boring.

Immense and fully deserving of a 10/10.

Great game, loved World Tour mode.

I put about 80 hours in at launch (which is a massive amount for me haha), but eventually moved on.

Anyone know what the tournament situation is these days?

I just needed those couple of tournament trophies for the Platinum, but when they eventually activated them, you had to wait like a day to take part in one.

Managed to get one to start and then it lost connection. Never went back, but I wouldn’t mind finishing it up one day.
