@fatdragon £50. Run time 1 minute. 🤣

@Wheatly Yeah, same. I'd never tried NOW before, but what a rip off. £9.99 a month and £6 extra for 1080p! Unbelievable.

My PS3 Slim is in the loft (I think) after it bricked itself for whatever reason. I played a bit of GTA5 on it, a bit of Skyrim and a bit of God of War. And then one day it refused to turn on. It was like it was saying "You're not a gamer. I've had enough." Over a couple of years it was used for around 30 hours until it died.
Luckily, my PS4 and PS5 have been witness, following hours upon hours of use, that I have indeed become a gamer. I think trophy achievements has something to do with keeping consoles alive. 🤔😀

I don't understand the worries about using the unit and being extremely short-sighted like me. It's right there, on your bonce. It couldn't be any closer.

@dark_knightmare2 Agreed. The HFW soundtrack is awesome. I'm forever listening to it in the gym. I enjoy it more than I did the game!

No free PS5 version for me. PS4 Complete Edition disc in. Search The Witcher 3 Complete Edition on the store on both the Playstation app and on the PS5 console, because there's no free PS5 upgrade path on the homescreen. Nothing. I'm offered the PS4/PS5 version for £14.99. What the hell...

Got there in the end. It shouldn't be this complicated. Does my head in. I know why though, it's to fish people in to buying the product again.

@cburg Hilarious. Six true words and you get all salty.

@SystemAddict 🤣

My PS5 pre-order arrived this morning. I had a bit of trouble installing it though, which was a worry. The patch downloaded in about 12 minutes, but the disc stopped downloading with only 9 minutes to go. It was 'queued for copying' from then on. I deleted the downloads. Turned off wi-fi. Changed install location from M.2 to console. Re-booted the PS5 and downloaded the disc again. Turned wi-fi back on and then downloaded the patch. It was nail biting stuff, I tell ya!
I've played almost three hours and am having a blast with it.

@JustPlainLoco I'd give Days Gone the same score as you. I've only played it once, and that was at launch. It was performing at what seemed like 20 fps on my PS4 towards the end and I still loved it. It was also my first Plat. I wondered how close I was to the Platinum when I was nearing the end and I was surprised to find that I only needed a small number of trophies for 100% completion. That says a lot about the game.
It's not just another zombie game, the hordes are unique. The soundtrack is wonderful, too.
Such a shame that there won't be a Days Gone 2. I'll replay it on my PS5 at some point.
I gave Dying Light 2 15 hours before I gave up. I enjoyed the first Dying Light.

@OmegaStriver Not quite. Days Gone is actually good and didn't deserve the negativity.

Horizon Forbidden West went Gold January 2022. The game was released in February 2022. Guerrilla fixed the graphics "shimmering" issue in June 2022 after I had completed the game and got the Plat.

I have pre-ordered God of War Ragnarok. Really hoping Gold means Gold this time...

I want an airliner to hit the gas station in game now. It needs a remake!

@BritneyfR_ee Amazon UK now send out collector's guides in envelopes. That's why my Horizon Forbidden West Official Strategy Guide arrived damaged and so did the replacement.

@KundaliniRising333 Very well, thank you. I hope yours is too!

@KundaliniRising333 I'm a moron. Pleased to meet you!

Nefarious. Word up, son. 😀

@Mythologue 💵💴💰 Hello?!

No-one is going to pay £70 for The Last of Us Part 1 and hope that their PS5 will heat their home, Mr. Jim Ryan.

Another backlog upgrade, lol. I really should give it a whirl, especially as it's so highly rated and only 2 - 3 hours long.

@BartoxTharglod I'm yet to play Stray, but when I do, I hope that I'm one of the many that thinks that the cat game is the dog's bollocks! 🤣

I'm a Naughty Dog and The Last of Us fan, but I'm starting to think that I should pull the plug on my pre-order.
I'm getting a bit sick and tired of companies expecting people to buy their products through name and reputation, and I think that these game leakers feel the same way.
Whatever happened to selling a product? Showing the consumer exactly what they are buying. Here's a demonstration...
Can we please see exactly what we will be buying, Naughty Dog, for the same price as a brand new game...
At the moment, following the leaks and their silence, I think they're taking the piss.

The door handle on the red door at the end of the hospital corridor is on the wrong side in the Part 1 PS5 trailer @ 4:57.

I demand a price reduction! 🤣

I like cats, but I can't have one because of the busy main road right outside the entrance to my cave. I'd have to replace it weekly. It'd get too expensive and it wouldn't be fair on the kitties.

The game releases sooner in the UK. 11.09.22 11th September. Yay! 😜

@AFCC It's like you're so excited that you can't stop yourself from opening your prezzies on Christmas Eve. That's all their joy gone now from 'unwrapping' 10 million copies. 🤣

I was expecting Jade to start singing and dancing to Thriller at the beginning, but they threw in a giant caterpillar instead.
I managed to watch 30 minutes before I'd seen enough.

I look forward to this poll being posted again a month after release. Once we've all had the opportunity to either play it or have seen what others think of it via YouTube etc.
I have pre-ordered it because I believe that it will be bang up to date to what we already have in TLoU 2.
It's incredible the number of people commenting on these TLoU1 posts saying that it's a cash grab. The very same people that will be glued to YouTube on the 2nd September, or thereabouts, to justify their comments.
The price is $69.99/£69.99. I have pre-ordered it for £57 because I believe that it will be worth the price (to play it early). If I don't like it, but I 100% believe that I will, I'll sell it on. But I trust in Naughty Dog. You know, that studio that asks for just a tenner to upgrade Uncharted: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
Such a bunch of winers. Just don't buy it. Jeez...

RDR2 sorely needed a remaster. The PS4 version is a blurry mess. Buy new oled tv. Still a blurry mess. It is also too grindy. Never finished it. The last time I played it, I was nailing a fence together...

I bought the 1TB SN850 a year ago for £125. The deal included a DIY heatsink. It currently has 83GB free. The console currently has 225GB free. I also have two 1TB Samsung T7 SSD's dedicated to PS5 games. GREY 1 has 95GB free and GREY 2 has 225GB free. I also have four 1 TB Samsung T7's dedicated to PS4 games. SILVER has 124GB free. RED has 122GB free. BLACK has 125GB free. BLUE has 96 GB free. My WD 4TB HDD has 2TB free.
All chosen games logged and ready to go.
Damn this OCD...

Nevermind the US only Firefly Edition that sold out whithin an hour and has scalper written all over it. You can't even pre-order the base game from some Amazon European regions, including the UK. What's the deal on that? PushSquare, you must know. I know that you're waiting...

As each year passes, I find myself looking forward to the PS4 release schedule...

Bye-bye. 👋

Well, I've pre-ordered it and am looking forward to playing it.
I'm confused as to why it isn't up for pre-order on Amazon UK yet though.

@kyleforrester87 It's a remake.

Well, I huffed at the length of the clip. More please, Naughty Dog!

@Khayl @Northern_munkey Yeah, it had gone up to £35.19 when I checked only 50 mins after your piece was posted, Khayl.

@YeoSprings Sky Atlantic I reckon, on a Sky package and Now TV.

As of 7am, Saturday 11th June.

UK

ShopTo.Net £65.85
Base.com £63.85
The Game Collection £60.95
Game £69.99

I am also holding out for a Firefly Edition here in the UK, but I don't expect it to become available.
I'll probably pre-order from The Game Collection, but they now charge your card straight away instead of on release so I'll wait for a bit on this one.

So I pause my obsessive Push Square checking for the latest gaming news. You know, to instead cook some dinner, do a few chores and maybe play a game... And look what happens! 😂

I paid £45.26 in April for the PS5 version. I think it was an Easter pre-order offer plus a couple of quid I had on my reward account. I'm hoping that it's waiting for me after work today. The Game Collection are pretty good.

@KidBoruto I love his rants. When he goes off on one, usually about Rockstar, and rightly so, he makes me laugh!

The Professional will be all over this, bless him.

I only played Machine Strike to achieve the associated trophy. I needed it for the Platinum.
Glad to be done with it. The game is gorgeous looking, especially since the latest, much needed patch, but it is far too cringey and woke.
On to the next...

...The Quarry.

The HFW soundtrack, on the other hand, will live on in my music library forever. Absolutely, bloody brilliant.

"We're no Digital Foundry." Good job, too. Their analysis of the differing visuals between Resolution and Performance on the games release failed to acknowledge the awful shimmering, at least on an OLED display, when playing on Performance mode. People watched their misguided tech review and purchased the game on that merit, and were then unhappy with the product, myself included.
Kudos on Guerrilla listening to their fan base and working hard to fix the problem. I was surprised that they managed it, to be honest. Such a difference.

@BobLong-RickTangle Oh bugger. Thanks for the link.

Horizon Forbidden West PS5 VRR support, June '22?

I'm glad that Guerrilla have fixed the shimmering issue on Performance mode in HFW. It looks beautiful.

@RobN @OmegaStriver Yup. The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners Retribution. 2022 PS5.

@KundaliniRising333 It looked good on my LG CX.

Ghostwire Tokyo is currently £27.95 at The Game Collection.
