@Andy22385 "Made the effort"? Plenty of people "made the effort" and couldn't get one for a long time.

I love the Switch but 2022 was a lean year for it. Really looking forward to new Zelda this year though.

@Mega-Gazz why does it need to "advance the medium"? Surely if the game is good that's all that matters.

Just finished spiderman so starting up Horizon Zero Dawn. Played the opening half hour, it looks amazing so far.

@tameshiyaku @ATaco my first thought exactly. All about the steam decks. Even Geoff said it on the night.

Mario Kart 8. Not bad for a 10 year old game.

@Nightcrawler71 To be replaced by EA Club Football or whatever they're callin' it.

@iGotNintendoAtLaunch I think since PS5's are still tough to find in a lot of places it's only natural they extend the life of the PS4. Would you have the same opinion if you weren't lucky enough to pick up a pS5?

Only started playing the first one last week. Loving it so far.

As someone who doesn't buy that many new release games I usually am just an observor of these polls. Also I only have my PS5 for one month. Can't wait to play Ragnorok in 3 years time

@KidBoruto Ooof. That's a lot of games. I only just picked up my PS5 last month, first time owning a Playstation console in over 20 years. So I'll be happy enough picking up older cheap games I missed out on. Only full price game I'll likely get next year will be Zelda.

Given I've had my console for one month and only played one game, this went exactly like I thought it would. One gold trophy in the bank though already.

I'll stick to Marvel Snap for now for my card game fix. Will wait for a sale on this one.

People have little to be complaining about if this is what outrages them. As long as the game is good who gives a crap?

Starts just after midnight where I am but might try and watch a bit on my phone in bed with the headphones in.

Will be waiting up late again this year for it (Irish time). Usually have it on tablet while playing something on TV.
This will be the first time ever I'll be watching as the proud owner of all 3 current consoles so every announcement will be relevant to me. Excited!

Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted Collection and Spiderman all going cheap. Great time to be a newcomer to the platform.

Looking forward to playing this at some point but will wait for a few more patches before pulling the trigger.

@jrt87 Ya, personally I dont really see much value in PS+ at all. I'm new to the PS platform but I think I'll just be buying games on a game-by-game basis.

TIL there is a Goat Simulator 2.

I only just got my PS5 sbut I think I'm just gonna buy the individual games I want. So many of the PS4 classics I missed out on are so cheap now and will keep me entertained for ages.

So, wait for a patch. Got it!

I like it when they leave about a minute or 2 before they finally give a prompt. When it's clear that you're kinda stuck.

I only got a PS5 last week, first playstation console since the PS1. First game I'm playing right now is GoW 2018. Loving it so far. Will get to this game after I've played a few more PS4 classics I've missed.

I will get it but waiting on a Switch review to see how it holds up on that system. Might opt to get it there if it's good.

If this reviews well on Switch I might get it there, otherwise I'll be getting it on PS. Glad to see it's reviewing fairly well.

Only just got a PS5 so working my way through GoW 2018. First Playstation I've owned since the PS1. Very exciting.

Woof! Hard pass on that price.

Seeing a big variation of review scores on this one so far. Even this websites sister website Pure Xbox gave it a 4 out of 10. Think I'll skip it. Can see it being very cheap very soon.

@Greifchen why is it ridiculous? You would prefer people don't get to play these games? How does that benefit you or anyone? More games on all platforms is a good thing for the customer. More ways to play.

@Vivisapprentice people seem so caught up in console war crap that they forget this is a good thing for the consumer. More people getting to play the game is a good thing for us, the customer. Why would a person be mad that more people are getting to play a game? I don't get it.

Pure Xbox gave it a 5, bit harsher than here.

@ScottyG "I’d say this message is a bit of a mute point".

The phrase is actually "moot point".

Played this game recently, this review is pretty much spot on. There's little to no gameplay in it but it looks and sounds fantastic. Play with headphones if you do play it.

All platforms have lots of exclusives. I don't see a problem with this. If you've only ever bought one platform you've always missed out on certain games, going all the way back to SNES and Genesis days. Today is no different, Playstation still has loads of amazing exclusives, same as Nintendo. Now, so too does Xbox.

Given that the biggest stick Xbox got beaten with for the last few years was not having any games, I've no issue with this. Sony still has loads of amazing console exclusives. Now, so do Xbox. The good thing with Xbox is that you don't even need the console to play them, you can stream through xcloud or play on pc.

@Nakatomi_Uk just checked. It still exists. Will check again tomorrow.

People seem to think a game studio shutting down equals a platform shutting down. They're very different things. I look forward to reading all the "Stadia is dead" comments this time next year again.
Totally forgot about the 1 year anniversary of people saying it will be dead in a year last November. Must set a reminder on my phone.

Haven't bought a FIFA game in about 5 years so might pick this up.

These kinda games are always played best with mouse and keyboard rather than a controller i find.

More people getting access to a game is a good thing and would probably increase the likelihood of a sequel too. It's a great game. I don't own a playstation but I would like to see this game on other consoles.

@JayDub I still look at IGN reviews. As well as plenty of other websites.
