I thought that they had delayed this until PS5?

Would rather they took longer and released the game in the best possible form, unlike, say, Bethesda.

I struggle to see the point in making next gen games using this engine. It would be outclassed by existing games from other studios even now, let alone whenever they plan to release ESVI. Shame, I loved Skyrim, but it was a pain in the neck for Playstation users; don't want to go through all that again!

Diablo Online

I guess if you created a really lame tag when you were 12, and are now in your 20s, it might be useful to escape from it. Otherwise not such a big deal.

Would also prefer a new single player Fallout game; for me it would be better without the buiding element from 4, which I didn't like. But hey, I guess there's no goin' back. Roll on Elder Scrolls VI...

Am having a rest from gaming for a couple of weeks.

I was thinking of something that wasn't just a stupid short term statement that nobody will care about in 6 months. So far I've come up with SayNoToBrexit or TheresaMayDancingQueen as possibilities.

Isn't his game shaping up to become a byword for griefing?

@Ypmud Isn't that the issue though; Bungie knew what kind of game players were expecting at launch and failed to deliver, then spent the next year making players pay for expansions to get the game back to where D1 was. Not good imo.

Never been a fan. Not keen on puzzle games; just like shootin', fightin' and grindin'

I agree that D1 was of it's time, and that that time has kind of passed. I also don't like Bungie's business model, as you say, if you tot up the total possible spend, it's somewhere IRO £160; no game is worth that IMO.
I do have one question though, have they brought back individual rolls on weapons? This, for me, is where they went drastically wrong in comaprison to D1, the only point in grinding games is to get better gear than the next guy, surely. Until they do it, I won't even think about spending any more £ on it, and then probably not anyway, lol.

Loved Destiny 1; hated Destiny 2 - Will Anthem be what Destiny 2 should have been and more? I really hope so, cos I wanna fill that multiplayer sci-fi shooter sized hole in my life. Will certainly wait for a while after release though; remember D2 got good reviews on release

Try hards in space

I don't care about Fortnite and wouldn't play it on any platform. The statement from Sony is just marketing speak to be honest, and has no bearing on whether or not they will actually allow crossplay at some point (they will if it is financially expedient). I would describe my experience of most multi-player games as toxic, and so the idea of not adding another x thousand swingers to the equation is a positive one for me. Happy days

Haha, would have commented earlier, but only just stopped laughing about Destiny 2; it's a cynical ploy to get people to buy the mediocre expansions, don't do it

God of War III, on the other hand, is great news, and I will be grabbing that for sure.

@shafedog247 Nah, I gave up on D2 a long time ago, started playing ESO; very different but a much more immersive experience for me to be honest, so much more to do, haven't looked back

Sarcasm and my screen name aside, I loved Destiny, but really don't like Destiny 2. To me, Bungie betrayed the faithful with D2 by making a dull, generic game for casuals. Fair enough, it's their game, but I won't be buying any more DLC or downloading any patches.

I'm actually quite interested in these games, but if they're found wanting Lord Dagon will not be pleased, I know that much.

A big thumbs up from me for this little story; Fortnite, love in a bag, sounds about right

I don't really play the kind of games that would require an elite controller, but if I did, I still wouldn't pay that kind of money for one.

Funny! So, the wat to stop trolls from trolling is to ask them not to do it? Hmmm, I wonder

This is just funny. The guy talks like he is the god and arbiter of all gaming; he's not

So what % of their game sales will they potentially lose if Sony call their bluff? Will they seriously give the finger to that many potential punters? I doubt it. I love the ES games, but have never been a fan of Bethesda's attitude toward PS4 players, and I could live without their games on principle if necessary.

LMAO, the more I hear about this game the less I want anything to do with it. It will be a gankfest, people will buy this just to troll others; and there are a lot of sad cases out there. Why are these developers so disingenuous? Just put a system in place to stop it happening; it ain't rocket science??

Or the abridged version. Destiny 2 has wasted players time

Horizon Zero Dawn

It's funny, a couple of years ago this site, and many others, were predicting the death of single player games; now it seem like anything but. Many gamers are bored with MMOs, because they are unimaginative, and if you want to play any kind of endgame, you are stuck with the same "git gud" bozo mentality that most sane people are desperate to escape from (like, if I wanted to join the army I would join the army). Other than that, most MMOs are just a boring grind. ESO is one of the better ones to be fair, but it's not great.

I agree that if you just treat it as an solo RPG then it's an ok game. The problems it has are the same as all other MMO games though; end game content and the toxicity that it engenders. If I wanted more macho BS in my life I would just go out more; as it is, I see enough of it IRL, and I play games to escape that kind of thing, so it doesn't appeal to me. You know the sort of thing "if you don't have xxxx DPS we won't play with you or help you". Life's too short. Other that that it's a good game, and, to me anyway, an appetiser for the next proper ES game.

Yes it's a good idea; very sensible. Well done Germany

Latest episode in Bungie's quest to sell us Destiny 1 all over again in expensive instalments. Yawn!

How is the Nacon a Pro Controller? It doesn't have paddles, and just looks like a wired Xbox controller.

@ShogunRok Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarification.

If it ends up as good as The Wicher 3, then it will be worth the wait.

I'm surprised that it only got 7/10 given that the review was so positive? Anyway, I stopped playing about 6 months ago, but might go back and give this a go.

I keep trying to go back to D2, but all they have to offer is more of the same boring grind; DLC's are just more of the same too. Looking at the price they are charging for the next instalment, I decided to just give up hope and move on.

Crash Bandicoot.

Picked up Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition for a bit of old school RPG shenanigans. Under £9 with sale & PS+ discount. Bargain

Sounds good to me! It would be a laugh if they can manage to stick it to Bungie and make this a real Destiny killer; that will take the smirk off of Luke Smith's face

LOL, looks like a 10 year old game

I find it hard to believe that this couldn't be optional. If it's not, then I would probably leave it; I find I've almost completely drifted back to single player games anyway, after the Destiny 2 debacle. It's gonna be along wait for Elder Scrolls 6 though

Maybe they will have an auto decline option, like ESO has for PVP duelling? I have to say though, that Fallout, as we know it, doesn't seem like a great candidate for an MMO.

Don't care. Fix the plethora of existing problems with the game before trying to shovel more expensive trouble down players throats;and I mean fix it now, without charging more money for it, like £35 for "future updates" kinda BS.

I'm surprised about the base building; didn't get on with it at all in F4. It's funny that you mentioned Destiny 2, as it seems that a lot of upcoming games are now at pains to talk about how they will NOT be like Destiny 2; I wonder why that is?

It's just impatience frankly. These games obviously take time, whilst developers still need to be seen to be relevant; thus early announcements. There are plenty of AAA games around at the moment, and most of the future games discussed here will be for PS5, or whatever, so perhaps we all need to chill out and enjoy what the current gen has to offer and let the future take care of itself.

@NecuVise OK, thanks for that. Will probably give it a go.

Interesting! Is this one of those really, Souls level, difficult ones, or is it a Skyrim/Dragon Age type difficulty? I'm too much of a casual for the harder stuff

Cringe indeed. Looks pretty good though.

So happy that they are doing it; but sad that it is so far off. I cannot over exaggerate my deep seated, visceral need for a new Elder Scrolls game

I think that they need to move the release date. If Anthem can produce something that is everything that players wanted Destiny 2 to be, they will have 3 million plus sales just off the back of that, and that will have a negative effect on Days Gone sales for sure.
