@Mikey856 Ah that sucks. Get well soon.

If I get time away from celebrating the Jubilee weekend I'll just be finishing Ratchet and Clank Nexus. My PS3 backlog will finally be clear and can start playing my PS4 games on my PS5.

Title screen makes it look like some kids friendly series about to drop onto Disney+

All over this on release. Let's stomp some umies!

@lolwhatno Yeah I picked it up in a sale. Really enjoyable.

Never heard of Flat Heroes but will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Fury Unleashed local co-op with my brother, a very addictive side scroller.

Apart from the, finishing off R&C: Crack in Time then move onto Into the Nexus.

@get2sammyb I imagine a fair few episodes will be set in caves and talking around a fire to cut down budgets on the bigger robots.

@Atreus97 Agreed as he was the voice but I imagine having to paint him white would cause some outrage amongst the Twitter mob.

Enjoyed the last one on bit SP and MP until Warzone took over. Hope they've learned their lessons and not eventually require multiple TB patches to add fluff to Warzone.

I'd be happy enough with a remaster of Tomb Raider Anniversary it was a great game. A remake of 2&3 would be cool as I never actually finished them.

Like a weird mix of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil.

On the whole though I do miss the older games but I'm sure my nostalgia clouds the reality of how difficult, awkward and time consuming these games would be if I went back to them today.

I imagine the control scheme and camera would be the true monster in Nightmare Creatures for example.

"To carry on war, three things are necessary: money, money and yet more money"

Unfortunately Microsoft has that in spades.

Sony will just need to rely on the quality of its games shining through to survive and grow.

No the Necromorph gets picked up by the Valor, the chaos this one necromorph causes makes the Valor crash into the Ishimura (which as you say then probably allows more Necs to board).

I took issue and always have whenever I played it after that the one Necromorph gets aboard and causes that much damage. Fair enough element of surprise and all that but surely not enough to send it into the Ishimura due to what I presume a dead crew.

Lmao I'm way off.

USM Valor was the military ship.

@Floki Nah not the Ishimura. About halfway through the game a military vessel (USS Kelion I think) reacts to a distress beacon you send out with Hammond.

Unfortunately it picks up an escape pod you jettisoned earlier containing a Necromorph which promptly kills all the soldiers on board.

That's what I was referring to.

I hope they make the fact that one necromorph taking out an entire military vessel gets rewritten. The one thing that held the story back.

The GP model is ruining Xbox exclusives. Sony have a stronger library and one of the reasons is they're not releasing million dollar games onto Day One release platforms which you can get for a fiver a month.

@Dudditz09 I'd be playing it on the PS5 so hopefully that sorts out any load times. I'll give it a go, only a tenner.

Would anyone rate XCOM 2 even if I haven't played the first one?

Hell of a discount on it.

According to the song he only had one anyway.

I think we can all agree Shepard is awesome but as others have said, are writers and companies incapable of making new characters anymore?

You could import your save from the Legendary edition and have the deeds of Shepard written into the new history.

He saved the galaxy, let they guy rest.

@SystemAddict Lucky you 😄

The longer this goes on the luckier I consider myself to have gotten one.

This will get sorted eventually I have no doubt but short to medium term looks bleak.

Having entered this series only recently (played Silent Assassin in February and onto Absolution now) I can say hand on heart say it's a great series and I'm looking forward to getting around to the latest trilogy.

I have found Absolution to be decent but find its difficulty inconsistent and suffers with spikes now and again. Also find the story a bit out there.

Blood Money is the best for me so far!

6/15. Once again Push Square have looked through my gaming history and avoided any questions on it at all costs!!! 😡

Think the last FIFA I played was FIFA 05 so yeah I'll give this one a whirl. Trophies are quite out of reach I imagine but yeah a decent month all in all I think

Hitman Absolution. Enjoying it but find the difficulty spikes just come out of nowhere and you really get punished for not having the right disguise from a previous mission.

You can see him in Benidorm wearing an Alan Shearer football shirt

I managed to get one the other day through PS Direct so I'm very lucky. Unfortunately scalpers (and the people who buy from them) are just making a bad situation worse.

I also think companies could be doing more to help consumers who want one.

In the end though these are just effects of the much greater cause which is the semi conductor shortage. There was an interesting talk I saw the other day and the war in Ukraine has caused Russia to withhold a special type of gas which fuels the chip making process so this has made the shortage worse.

What I want is access to a huge library of classic games, updated visuals and trophy support.

What we'll get will fall way short of that mark I fear.

Hope I'm wrong though.

Deathloop or GoT on PS5 I think.

I fear this will be thrown to the scrapheap of the other 99% of video game movies which were trash.

Like the cake, the Half Life 3/Portal 3/ Left4Dead 3 is a lie

4/15. Worst effort yet. Haven't played most of those to be fair though

Hitman Absolution. Not my favourite entry but only on level 4. Not sure how I feel about them giving him a linear story like this

Hitman: Blood Money. Should wrap the trophies up and then onto Absolution

How to change PS5 cover plates:

Step 1) Get your eyes taken out by a scalper and buy a PS5

I imagine a degree in this game is about as much use as one from the real world.

@Rob_230 I was going to say that. THQ Nordic bought the rights to it some years ago.

A remastered trilogy and a 4th one would be a license to print money.

8/15. As usual, mainly guess work.

Scalpers wouldn't be an issue if idiots didn't buy off them.

Also, retailers whether in-store or online could easily correct the issue by only issuing one console to one account for a set time period. They could even add extra features like only one PS5 can be shipped to the same address for a time period. Unfortunately for the consumer the retailers don't care because they're making money whether the buyer is legit or a scalper.

Hitman: Blood Money. The most complex one I've played so far but enjoying it.

Also trying to survive as the Odrysian Kingdom on Rome 2 Hard difficulty.

Does anyone remember the first 2D Prince of Persia for Amiga? Great game

6/15. That was tough

1&2 were great. I hope they redo the 3rd game but without EA interference. Having recently played through it I can say it's a disaster. Especially when you hear about the plans Visceral initially had for it and an open world game for the 4th one.

It's dark times when those offerings make up the modern day State of Play.

Not awful looking games and I'm sure I'll play some of them even but come on. Sony you could have had:

Dino Crisis Reboot
Re4 Remake
Max Payne Remake
Resistance Remake
Killzone Reboot/Sequel
New and Exclusive SP FPS titles
New and Exclusive Action/Adventure/Fantasy (to replace the loss of Elder Scrolls)

Come on Sony, give your fans what they want.

Damn you Sony. Are you trying to bankrupt me???

@AchievingGamer

You're welcome.

I thought I would just take advantage of an open chat forum to give my two cents on the subject and that I was disappointed with this month's offering.

Can honestly say I'm not interested in any of them.

It was just a prank Han!
