@Fluberuper You probably played it too late, it hits different in 2013. 😆

@Can-You-Believe-Sith what's the deal with Hogwarts...one would think it's the new FIFA or CoD these days, it keeps appearing on the charts.

@Damage99 Since when has Photo Mode been assigned a button. I thought they're always in the Pause Menu. I hardly use Photo Mode anyway, I'm fine with the default Share Button.

A lot of From fans including me weren't even looking forward to this. But I get trying to make some money on the side with MP.

Looks like Lincoln Clay was lifted from Mafia3 with his skin tone and hair edited. Would be a bit surprising if this game is in the 80s on MC.

By the time I buy this game it's going to be very good.

@Northern_munkey Really...I see, will add you up.

@Northern_munkey Guessing y,all a bunch of pros with your racing wheels, I'm gonna look like a rookie with my controller 😆. But I can't find your name on PSN though.

@Northern_munkey Yes I've also not experienced any stuttering I kept reading about, guess I bought the game at its best state.
@ChromaticDracula I really like this EAWRC graphics, they're really realistic, DiRT looks more over shiny and glossy. The dirt and damage is what makes me like these games, Gran Turismo is just too clean, it's like you're just looking at pictures of cars idling on a scrolling environment with the same old generic UI.

Wish we'd know why Codemasters are quitting rally games.

Nah Metaphor's their best design along with audio design, though you can easily bounce off that game, can't really tell as to why, maybe the characters aren't too interesting. Speaking of which, haven't played ClairObscur but BG3 so far has the best characters in an RPG of recent memory by miles.

BG3, HFW, GOWR, EAWRC, CP2077, TW3, RDR2, it's hard to focus on a single game these days. Still stuck on Metaphor's final battle, will keep trying. Said I was going to just play 10mins of my 4th run of Elden Ring...2hrs later, roaming in caves, provoking Tree Sentinel, singing Agheel oo Agheel.

Still a masterpiece! I think it's the first game I bought digitally. The music on those 2 PS4 themes made me want to try it. I remember not getting into it initially, White Orchard was quiet a slow introduction hiding the gigantic game it really is, no wonder some people still give up in the beginning. But I kept going and giving it a chance, ended up being one of my favourites of all time. The stories - both main and sides - were just so good! Depressing most times, still remember when Yennefer raised the dead guy in Skellige trying to get info from him, so sad to watch. What a game!

"I see you gather before me..hungry... terrified... clutching your babes to your breast." Hats off to CDPR keeping this masterpiece evergreen with current gen touches, looks like a game released recently. Playing its equally essential partner - CP2077. Still on the outstanding BG3 also, some EAWRC and HFW. Backwards compatibility from PS4 coupled with enhanced versions makes PS5 an overwhelming gen with so many games, that I'm not too worried anymore the likes of ND don't have a new game out.

Hes really good at making terrifying robots though.

Looks really good!

Quality takes time but same gamers would complain about games taking too long to make and when the devs are made to crunch - complain. Anyway, it's sad they lifted the horses in this, straight from Origins.

Would love it if the price is generous else I'd have to use that money for newer games i haven't bought yet. I bought GTA4 twice, it wouldn't be fair to be asking me £30 even. £20 or less is the best I can do.

@Fyz306903 Yeah but if they were churning out every year like Ubisoft, the quality would drop and we'd still complain.

Happy with my standard PS5. I think it's okay if you can afford the Pro but my issue with these little incremental midgen refreshes is - it doesn't make us really appreciate any advancements when you enter a next gen. Now people have to rely on tech analysis to determine benefits or upgrades. Anybody could tell the jump from PS1 to PS2 to PS3. From PS4 it started slowing down, ironically we started getting midgen upgrades with the PS4Pro. Can't we all just get along and agree to have true gen upgrades and not these mids, but hey there's always a market for those so...And oh forget GTA6 being super optimized for Pro, they'd save their best for PS6 so people can double dip.

214hrs in and still in disbelief at what a marvelous game Baldur's Gate 3 is. Some more of the realistic and enjoyable EAWRC, and yeah Horizon Forbidden West - just gotta finish this 2nd playthrough.

Well I hope this new direction is good. An admission of "we can't compete with R* anymore" if there ever was one. And if you're going linear, you best get to the Naughty Dog, Resident Evil level of linear quality else... Wondering if we'd see the "it's not a true Mafia game" like we did with 3.

@x3King84 So then what's the point of creating that world to drive in...is it just some backdrop...then they're better off cutting that whole section out. I like Mafia Remake too but like most of their worlds, it's mostly empty.

@Herculean biggest lie I ever heard.

For a brother to Rockstar under TakeTwo it's sad Mafia still can't get their open world close to their sibling's. Heard this is even going to be more linear, this trailer is something you can already play in TLOU2 or RE4 or something. GTA/RDR wouldn't be where they are if it was just about linear missions and not their WORLDS. I wish this is something close to MAFIA2 at least.

R* have always ensured their games run perfectly on base systems before considering enhancements on other hardware. They're not like PC-first devs like CDPR who realize their vision on the most expensive hardware only they can afford and start scratching their heads as to how it would work on standard machines.

I remember hearing EXsorbeo 720 which was more a play on Xbox 360 back in the day. Think it was GTAIV's radio, speaking of which...PS4/PS5 still doesn't have GTAIV 😁

Yea @LifeGirl like @spazuluwarrior said; do you have any other ideas... we'd like to know and forward it to Rockstar.

At least get your horses close to RDR2 or TLOU2, they're a huge part of the game. Don't be like Ubisoft lifting the same horse straight from Origins through to Shadows.

Took a Subaru out yesterday, felt sooooo good, the vibrations feeling like I'm actually driving. The dynamic weather changing in the middle of the course, going at top speed, my car getting dirty transitioning to muddy, all the while trying not to wreck the car with its realistic damage detail unlike most racers I know. Graphics is just superb. Codemasters are just so good at this.

Still not too sure about Tsushima. Will try a 2nd run to see if I'd appreciate it better. PushSquare GOTY confirmed, regardless whatever else releases...historically.

Almost got Clair Obscur with all the hype but got EA WRC instead cause I'm still in the middle of a BIG RPG - BG3. It'll be easy to play those 2 side by side. EAWRC looks sooo good and I think it's a bit forgiving for us controller users, I played DiRT RALLY for a long time on PS4, always had a DiRT game since PS3. I'm in the city in BG3, it's so huge and packed it's overwhelming, WHAT A GAME!

@Northern_munkey It's sad what's happening, but I don't want to believe Codemasters' Rally games are done.

I mean a lot of people called it. Would've been more surprising if it released this year.

Yes, had the feeling the price was never going to go down so I got one, plus the great games kept piling up. I mean just look at the games releasing these first 4 months, I felt finally when I got one the gen would have properly started and looks like it has, PS6 may just be pushed back further.

I just bought EA WRC, I love Codemasters Rally games. This is sad to hear. People like to rave on about old games being better than new ones, I still have DiRT Rally installed, still play it but I want a new and sweeter looking version which is this. For some reason I enjoy these Rally games for their dirt and damage than Gran Turismo which looks too unrealistically clean with no damage.

Well most DLCs are forgettable except just a few.

Dunno why people would prefer to call.it Expedition 33 when there is a nicer catchy name like CLAIRRR OBSCURRR!

I watched gameplay vids of this and Clair Obscur, felt like Oblivion was more my style - y'know, the whole open world, going to inns to rent rooms, immersion, graphics look really good but the whole moonwalking of characters and same combat animations...meh... wasn't really feeling the excessive running animations in Clair Obscur too but someday I'll pick them up probably.

Never checked for this game but I always liked the name : Clair Obscur. Good thing it's a great game to match a great name.

Now I'm wondering for the folks with a tight a budget who bought Oblivion on a whim yesterday. 😁

Fishy they didn't get it to reviewers ahead of time.

Still, Baldur's Gate 3. Game is just soooo good! Not seen such memorable cast since RDR2.

With some experience from DoS2, I've been able to move pretty fast in BG3 compared to the former. DoS2 was more punishing and the inconsistent art direction didn't push me to keep going, one time it looks nice, other times not so nice. BG3 on the other hand looks so sweet I know I'm going to play it to the end. Simply one of the best RPGs I've ever played, such memorable characters in an RPG I've seen in a long time!

@DexTepa 😂😂 They really require patience and tactics these Larian games, but so far I find BG3 manageable, DOS2 is worse.

Just had a feeling things weren't going to change that much, prices were either going to get worse, stay the same or reduce insignificantly. So I stopped waiting and got me the disc-PS5 fresh off the boat, I barely use the drive even, since most of my games are digital.

Me oh my, oh my oh me...still on the game that barely allows you to play other games - Baldur's Gate 3. Will try to sneak in a bit of Horizon Forbidden West though. And oh, Karlach is a masterpiece.

Baldur's Gate 3 is monumental! A game that has me exclaiming wow awe and all that in a long time.

@AhmadSumadi I also am yet to beat Ragnarok, I got it in December '24. I don't know what exactly it is with GoW but it just fails to hold your attention for the longest time.

@themightyant Hmph. Zelda's had different art styles over the years. Well, I haven't had the time to download Honkai but I played a lot of Genshin, however the constant updates put me off.

@get2sammyb Never even heard that one, checked it out, yeah that looks a bit different.

I wish these gacha games would have different art styles, they all look the same.

Don't remember the last time I bought PS Plus. Can't even have enough time for all the games I bought let alone Multiplayer or monthly free games that are just going to keep piling up in the backlog heavier than the fog in crookback bog!

But why can't the characters - or at least the protag - change attire in these games like every other RPGs or open worlds...Your guy wore the same damn skin tights and checkered shirt the entire Metaphor Refantazio!

Thought I could play other games but Baldur's Gate 3 hardly let's you. The graphics is just so sweet looking first off. This feels like the truest RPG in a long time. Oh and Astarion is such a memorable character, makes me laugh all the time when he simply opens his mouth, no wonder the voice actor won the award at TGA. This all I can type, in a hurry to get back to it. What a game!
