@Mikey856 I've been playing mine more of late (zombieland is worth a punt) but like you say, it just needs more killer apps. It feels like the dirty stepchild at the minute
@Barryburton97 it took a little to click for me as well, but when it did it clicked hard. It's now one of my all time favourites. Stick in there pal. If it works it's worth it.
Man what I wouldnt give for a proper remake of this, manhunt 1&2 and The Warriors. Alas, Rockstar are down to one new game every 10 years or something stupid, so the chances are thin to say the least.
I mean, I kinda feel it won't be as easy as that vid for someone like me. Although if it is, and I can get one straight away, I might actually buy it 😂
@Northern_munkey I live over warrington way. I'm all to familiar with the delights and frights Manchester has to offer. Many, many a tale to tell from some heavy nights in the melting pot of Manchester 😂
@Northern_munkey I remember watching Oasis at Maine Road. After the gig, all the poster and bootleg shirt sellers where fleeing because they kept getting robbed and threatened. Never seen that in my life and I have been to a lot of gigs over the years 😂
@awp69 to be fair, using the term 'money hatting' while arguing the case of a company that bought up half the biggest publishers is a tad ironic, wouldnt you agree?
Good show from xbox though. Some good games in there, both exclusive and multi platform.
I tried Dredge when it hit plus and fell head over heels in love with it. Finished it in two sittings, which is something I haven't done with a game in a long time.
@Mikey856 I just pre ordered from amazon on physical. It's got the placeholder price of 59.99 but there's rumblings it will be lower on release. You only pay when it's dispatched so if it does change, you won't be charged the 60. If it doesn't, you're free to cancel it if you want to wait for a sale 👍
I'm finally gonna pick this up on disc (uk) as I've been meaning to play it for a while. Been in a bit of a gaming lull of late so I'm hoping this is the game to pull me out of it. Although it looks like it will be from Ebay as it is nowhere to be seen in stores.
I do hope Sony throw folks a bone at some point though with a decent showcase. While I don't particularly like seeing games advertised as 'coming in summer 2055', I do like knowing there are actually games coming I want to play.
Teardown should stay in your library as it was one of the monthly plus games, as opposed to a catalogue addition. I think any way at least. Maybe Liam or someone can confirm.
Will be interesting to see how many of those that whined - not the people legitimately affected due to location, the band wagon babies that wouldnt create an account - now acknowledge this was resolved in a weekend. A single weekend. Compare that to other games that take weeks, months and in some instances, legal actions.
@BacklogBrad completely agree its unnecessary. It's the world we live in though. Hell, we all gave info to login and post comments here. I just don't get what the specific issue is here.
For the record, I do agree its grim for folks who can't make psn's due to the country they're in. There may be workarounds but they shouldn't be needed.
The flip side to this is Sony doesnt sell the game in those countries, Steam chose to. Yet there seems to be no uproar towards Steam. Which highlights the mess that is 3rd party logins.
The funny part of all this is all these folks ranting and complaining are doing so on places that they had to register for, using the exact same info they are so precious about sharing.
@olwakachangchang The lock out is grim, although I imagine those folks should get angry at Steam for selling it rather than the publisher for funding it.
@VaultGuy415 I own the PS collection version and still managed to pick it up in the sale for £3 and change. Purely because I'd seen on here (I think) that it might not be eligible for the free upgrade if you had it through the collection.
My father in law is staying with us so game time will be slim pickings this weekend. When I can though I will be diving between Helldivers 2 and Dave the Diver.
While I will still be around for this (I hope anyway), I'm riding that wave of mid 40's life crisis were I realise at some point I will get excited for a release and be dead before it arrives.
I still need to play this through. It's sat there installed, I just need to get going on it. The constant fixes made me hold off but it feels like it's pretty good to go. I just need to get off Helldivers...

Yeah, after PSVR2 I'm definitely holding fire on this one. I mean, once bitten and all that.

Re: No Man's Sky: Worlds Part I Revamps the Universe in Biggest Update of 2024
This game should be pushed more for the VR side as well. It's absolutely phenomenal in VR. Truly an experience everyone should try.

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Quietly Adds Uncensored New Costumes in Controversy Aftermath

Re: Rumour: Full Astro Bot PS5 Game to Be Announced Very Soon
Day one for me without a doubt.
I do hope Sony throw folks a bone at some point though with a decent showcase. While I don't particularly like seeing games advertised as 'coming in summer 2055', I do like knowing there are actually games coming I want to play.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Quietly Adds Uncensored New Costumes in Controversy Aftermath
@get2sammyb totally agree. Just the community uproar felt a little icky. Nothing against the developer in any way.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Quietly Adds Uncensored New Costumes in Controversy Aftermath
I mean, the uproar over this is a bit weird, right?
Re: Next Week's Huge PS Plus Purge Now Extended to 35 PS5, PS4 Games
