I ended up buying my daughter an Xbox One Digital version in Black Friday for just over £100 with an extra controller. For what she wants it for, it is perfect

The security was in two parts - one on the hardware and the other on the disk.
The part on the hardware was the actually logo, and when the security passed on the disk side, is when it showed the text at the bottom. Kinda like a key and lock security

Seriously? How is this a guide?

Is this becoming a reverse Days Gone? Bad critical score vs good player score?

@get2sammyb Sometimes it is not the change that puts people off, it is the price tag that follows with it. For example, Death Stranding does not sound like my type of game as the review here made it sound like delivery boy simulator with one of the pros being the management system of equipment. For me, being a delivery boy for a lot of the game sounds terrible; I have yet to complete RDR2 due to how long it takes get places. And as for equipment management, again the review compares it to RE4 & personally, it was the weakest part of that game (apart from guiding Ashley around everywhere, that is!)
That said, if and when the price tag drops & I see more gameplay footage, I will no doubt pick it up. It was the same for PSVR, it was a lot of money to try something different. I experienced at an expo and did not understand why it was so good but I did later find out that the damn assistant did not set me up correctly! Again, I caved a year later when a bundle came up that was too good to miss and I am glad I did.

As streaming, @kyleforrester87, I don't understand it to be honest. Why would I want to watch someone play a game that I can go out and purchase myself? To me it is utter madness but I get that some people love it. I see streamers leaving Twitch to go to Mixer and I ask, who are they? 🤣

@solocapers totally agree with you here. The review score did not match the words in the body. It was a case of, yes the game is boring at parts (reads on how FF13 was), but.... this is Kojima so we will let him off. I said before, the reviewer gives the final score as they are the only one who has played the game but when the text and score don't match, it really gets to me as some will just read the conclusion and score.

@Constable_What ok last question lol
Is it possible to pick up and play when ever?
I am lucky to play once or twice a week for a couple of hours at the moment.

Thanks for your input 👍🏻

@Constable_What is the summon some one on your friend's list or random?
Would you say it has hack and slash style game play? i like that genre

@Ralizah if some one pitched that to me as a game, I would not be the least bit interested. And that is the reason why this game does not do it for me.
I may buy it at some point but no time soon. i have had borderlands 3 sitting on my ps4 since launch and i have not loaded it up once

@parvaz1 This very site's review states the gameplay loop is practically identical to Dark Souls, but it's the ways in which Nioh differs from the Souls series that are the most compelling

It is the game play loop that puts me off, but....
it is "free" so might as will give it ago

@ThePathsofPain is it a clone of the "git gud" model of keeping trying the same part over and over? If so, still a no go. Not to sound like a casual 🤣 but I have limited tim to play these days

i was excited to see Nioh as I have hear great things, then I read more into it and it is a Souls clone and that is a series that I cannot get into

You would think & hope that Dragon Age 4 would be single player only but this is EA so it will be a live service

@David187 I think the issue is (especially for me) is that the words in the review do not match the 10/10 score. Maybe 8/10 as it reads.

@LegendOfStewart This is my issue with this review too. The reviewer can give a game what ever score they feel but the text does not match the score here

This sounds like "Fetch Quest : The Game" which I do believe is the most hated style of quest in the gaming community 😂
My interest was low for this title for a while especially since nothing was given out what the game play was going to be like and now it is confirmed as a delivery boy simulator, I think I will be giving this one a miss.
Each to their own but this does not sound like a 10/10 game.

@supergurr I agree with out here. A 10/10 should have no flaws (in my opinion) and this has a con about certain scenes dragging on which I have seen knock points of a review in the past. Plus how is weigh management a Pro? Personally, I prefer games where that is sorted out for me, that is why Fallout 4 with added weigh cap mod is just perfect 🙂

@FullbringIchigo I feel the bat mobile ruined the "boss" fights, especially at the end.
I hated the damn thing and put no upgrade points into it and the last section was a knightmare!

In this generation i feel Sony have always got at least four solid foundation games and these smaller games are the parts in between (bricks, windows etc)
Players will come for the foundations and more than likely end up trying out the smaller parts, eventually

So how does this work for those "pro" streamers who are paid to play Fortnite all the time? I use pro lightly as I still do not understand the appeal of streamers.

@rjejr After the unforgettable PSN network hack of 2011, the PS3 AND PSP master keys were leaked.
The PS3 ones were fixed but guess what? The PSP one was not so if you were buying a PSP Go around that time, I doubt the network being down was the biggest problem the sailors of the 7 seas had.

Personally, the PSP Go is an amazing machine and I still use it today. Both for actual PSP games and some homebrew. It is amazing what systems it can emulate. So powerful

Could you have not just linked to the main PS Now site?
It amazes me how much attention the service has got in the past few days because of the price drop.
I wish it got this amount of attention in the past but that is a failing on Sony's part... mainly.

Like Game Pass will eventually replace the Games With gold, PS Now will replace PS+ Games.

Also, @get2sammyb why not put the platform next to the game? I must admit is made me laugh as the PS Now App does not do this either 🤣

£50 a year is a fantastic deal.

Joel is dead in the Last of Us Part II and he is in her head throughout the campaign.

I think all Sony need to do is expose PS Now a little more.
It's a good service with a good selection of games. The latest additions are very good

Head over to ShopTo to get yourself some discounted digital codes

Playing the new plants vs zombies game 😊

As a side note, the PS Now games for Sept have been added too

https://xboxera.com/2019/08/03/rumor-devil-may-cry-5-might-be-coming-to-game-pass/

Devil May Cry 5 is coming to Xbox Game Pass. So a new DLC announcement would make sense

Praying on those who have issues with their mental health & kids. It is disgusting!

When you compare to the offerings on the Xbox One, no it is not worth it.
With how they added a few EA games to PS Now, I honestly thought they would come up with a way to allow EA Access members to stream those games only from the Now catalog.

I have it on my switch and the worst part for me are the sisters. Who ever wrote the lines for them should be fired

It is nice they announced the list before they are added, which is a step in the right direction

I wish I had 16 friends to play with...

I was not expecting this set the world on fire, especially with how poor 2 is compared to the 1st entry.

@Cutmastavictory yes. If the game is removed (which it won't), you will just be left with the dlc

@Th3solution Vampyr was added to the PS Now list for this month then quickly removed along with Mudrunners.
Usually how that service works, I would expect to see those two titles as PS+ games 1st

These are just for EA access. Maybe PS+ have a free EA Access trial?
Vampyr is next month's PS+ title

Currently playing though Lego City Undercover and man it is so good.

@kyleforrester87 now you are asking the real questions 🤔

Ha, headline changed as I am sure the original word is a flag for when we use it 😂
@kyleforrester87 yeah that is really splitting hairs. FF7 is in episodes just like FF13 is. I don't understand why the confusion 😅

Still waiting for Job Simulator to go on sale..

He just wanted to play Death Stranding and Last of Us 2
He's a gamer ar the end of the day 😊

@3MonthBeef I'll give it go and hope the connection holds up to display 4k 😊

@3MonthBeef it's a good start and I will probably give it a go when it is released to see how it holds up

@kyleforrester87 so realistically speaking, by the end of the next gen this could be the norm

@kyleforrester87 that is a fair point and like with everything (gaas, f2p etc) we as gamers usually get use to it and end up liking it.
We have XCloud around the corner which could offer new games like Stadia and Sony have already spoke about ramping up their PSNow service over the coming year.
Atm the quality is what is holding back Now but with the new partnership with Azure, it could change.
Witb PSNow being the only streaming service I have used I am just sceptical about the 4K 60fps they are promising on Stadia. It may be amazing and I may be wrong.
I do like the idea of being able to picm up and play a game where ever I am. Maybe this is the future we are heading too?

@Stragen8 chuck a few f2p games on there like Fortnite and it will be a success overnight 😁

@3MonthBeef what?! I remember the backlash of the xbox one always being online.
What happens if I have no Internet access, I cannot access my games.
Or what happens if the servers go down, like the other day?
I understand how this is pushing the idea of playing anywhere forward but the worlds Internet infrastructure is not ready.
It is not for everyone.

Who is this for really?

It is a good service but they post a single blog entry a month with no reply from the blog staff.
You cannot talk to anyone about it. Heck, even if you ask the support team for help they have no idea what to do regarding PS Now
They need to take a page of GamePass book with their Twitter account. The communicate with the gamers, post teasers and just have general fun.

This is what Sony needs to do. They ran a promotion earlier this year where if you signed up for Now, you got it at £8.99 a month for 12 months. This was advertised ONLY inside the App. They are idiots sometimes

PS Now games have been updated too
