I just go on reputation. If a developer has flooded a game with gambling boxes or produced poor value content in the past, I avoid their games. Also, I don't really buy games on launch, so if something sucks, I usually know from the reviews/players comments. I have nothing against service games per se though. I still play ESO

Sounds like something I would like. Thanks for review

I see this is going cheap in the sale atm. Is it as dificult as the Dark Souls games? I don't mind DS, but they take me an age to finish them; generally due to despair, lol.

If I buy one, I will wait untill just before xmas 2021, when they usually drop the price, and there will be more and cheaper games available.

Never was a fan of Fortnite or PUBG, but this one looks like fun, and I will grab it for sure. Always wanted to be a fightin' jelly baby

@lixei32 Yeah, maybe. I hardly ever go on the store and I got a credit. I usually buy games on disc. Seems unfair though tbh, to people who buy a lot of stuff direct from PS Store

I would consider jumping ship for the free online. I always though charging for online play was a bad thing. I already pay for my wifi, for the console and the games,so...
I was already thinking about saving the cost of a PS5 by putting it toward a gaming laptor or pc, but might jump on Xbone if they drop the online charge.

shame, because it's not a difficult thing to add, for very little increase in cost. I use a Nacon controller on PS4, and it makes a huge difference for me over the basic DualShock. Just being able to map the 'run' action to a clicker rather than pushing down the stick means that it has lasted twice as long as any of my DS controllers, and still going strong. Got it in a sale for £58. Bargain!

Lol, yeah, get FC3 and you've pretty much played them. A serious bargain at £2.49 though

No way! I always get games in sales or wait until the disc versions price drops after the initial entusiasm has waned. Lol.

Seriously though, that's £55; a lot of money for many people.

This stuff is mental! I haven't played the game, and don't know exactly what they are so angry about, but frankly the police should be involved; especially for the death threats. Nasty people!

I would go for the physical edition.

I mainly play live service games, so veeeeerrrrryyyy long would be my thing. Before that it was Skyrim, The Witcher 3 etc, so I guess I just like longer games

It's quite a small list, but is ok I suppose. Does this mean that other PS4 games will work on it, but won't necessarily get an upgrade? I would play old PS3 games if the PS5 played them btw

I won't be buying PS5 on launch anyways, but I would say that buying a digital only console, unless the price difference is pretty big, would be a false economy in the long run. They over produce most games on disc, so the prices always fall pretty low sooner or later. Also, 2nd hand disc market. I would go for disc version for sure.

Have been saying the same since PS5 specs were announced: £499.

It looks ok, i guess. The first thing I see when I look at it is dust trap; should keep the fans running at full tilt Maybe it will grow on me?

Not for me sadly. Had to bail on it a fair while ago, as it had become monotonous, and new content didn't look very exciting. From what I hear, it hasn't improved a whole lot since then.

Shame they coudn't have offered some better games, especially as they know that most people are in lockdown. Going on my list of things to remember once the crisis is over; it's a long list though, lol.

I like the Peaky Blinders TV show. Not sure about this game though, lol

Yeah, a really good month for PS+ members. I will be grabbing both games for sure. Am pleased I have PS+ at the moment coz I can't be buying any games, even in the so-called sale, and I'm already bored with Sonic Forces, lol

I gotta say that these "discounts" are the same old discounts. My priority at the moment isn't to give what little I now have to Sony so discounts make little difference. Stay safe

Can't see how thay can do it for under £500 at launch tbh :/

Yet another reason not to buy a PS5 at launch for me. Will wait a while and see the lay of the land.

I reckon reveal around late March/early April. In the shops for early October, lol

I have been predicting a £500+ price for PS5 for a while. I can't see how they can cram all the features into it for a £350 level cost to consumers. It's interesting, because if you were in the market for a new PC, for example, and added £500 to what you were going to spend, you could get one that ran all the games that a PS5 would run. I'm getting on a bit now, lol, and may well end my console journey with PS4 anyway.

OK month. Bioshock is good for me. Not too fussed about the other 2 though.

I would buy a PS5 as long as it has ps4 backward compatibility (which it does, apparently), but am not bothered about PS3 and older console games really.

I never really got why players buy random loot boxes in games? Why not just charge a bit more for whatever thing it is that the player wants, instead of charging less (x however many boxes) for a 'chance' of getting it? There is no doubt that it's gambling. Not a good thing for adults let alone kids imo.

Better that developers realease games that are ready to go out of the box, than that they do a Bethesda; that would be far more disappointing.

Buy PS5 after about a year from release, that way, you're guaranteed
1. to pay less for it
2. To have a back catalogue of games
3. Many of those games will be a bit cheaper
I have plenty of PS4 back catalogue games to keep me busy in the meantime

I agree with this review
I put hundreds of hours into Skyrim, even though it was a buggy mess, and the DLC debacle was, well, a debacle, and it worked on me in exactly the way you have described. Shame that they haven't followed it up in all these years.

I liked Destiny, but surely there were already plenty of MMORPG games around before Destiny was released? Were these not 'live service games'? Destiny had it's 6 months or so in the sun, but 'Game of the Decade'?. Destiny 2 is a steaming mire of mediocrity, and a testament to lack of imagination btw

Best bet is to save your money for a PS5, surely?

I usually wait until just before the xmas following release; you can pretty much guarantee a close to £100 price drop, plus there will be a nice backlog of cheaper games by then. Bah humbug!

Yep, got the digital version from the PS Store for £12.99. It's worth £1 to not have to get up off of my lazy backside and change the disc.

Will dl and have a crack at it for sure

Not God of War then, lol

Horizon ZD Complete Edition is super cheap on there at the moment. Still haven't got around to playing it so am very tempted

@LiamCroft Thanks. Will grab that deal then, for sure

Wow! I used to play Civ 2 many years ago and must have sunk hundreds of hours into it. Civ 3 was good as well, but I never got on with the later versions. Might give this one a try, but would probably wait for price to go down tbh

If I still have 6 months PS+ to run, can I top up with this, or will I just end up doubling up?

My guess is that he's wrong; which gives me a fairly good chance of being right, right?

Loved Diablo 3, but have played more than enough Destiny, ESO etc and have had enough of it, so if it's going to be like those games I will give it a miss. Will have to wait and see. Nice to see quite a few decent looking single player games coming out and in the pipeline though; there's hope for us all.

Lol, I can see that these are probably both great games if you like that sort of thing, but, sadly, neither are my bag. Oh well

Divinity OS 2 would be nice.

Loved Oblivion and Skyrim, not fussed about Fallout generally, but thought New Vegas was pretty good. Bethesda have gone down the pan a bit in recent years for sure. I am seriously tempted by The Outer Worlds though

Hmmm, I like the look of The Outer Worlds...I might even...hmmm?

Never seen the point in buying day 1 console release. There are hardly any games and waiting a year usually gets it up to £100 cheaper, and cheaper games. Win/Win

I have returned to D2 for Shadowkeep and am enjoying it so far. I agree with the review, pretty much though; a lot of it is all too familiar, and the "new direction" doesn't really seem to have transpired. I guess I will do the usual; play for a month until I burn up the new content, then play something else for 2 months until more content comes out. I'm still waiting for that big gamechanger Bungie?
