I still have the Ellie TLOU 2 theme. It's a fav of mine. Don't think I will be changing just yet either

This news slashed with the fact Howard confirmed they are sticking with their current engine for their next games, makes me really worried for Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield!! Really worried....

I'd be down for Spiderman (would be a good way to honour Stan Lee's memory) or God Of War making an upset. But no doubt RDR2 already has one hand on the GOTY trophy

Loving the sarcasm?! 😂😂 in all seriousness though, Anderson is so hit and miss with his films. Hopefully it's more Resident Evil (guilty pleasure) than Resident Evil: Final Chapter (less said the better). I mean I get his concept a group of soldiers pulled out of our world into the Monster Hunter world. It can work and aslong as this is only the first 5 to 10 mins of the film and it then hits the tone and look of the games (swapping the guns for big ass swords) then it could work. If not then why did he just not make an Evolve adaptation. Army guys vs monsters lol

Be Soul Caliber VI for me. Mainly because it's the only game I so far have bought. No doubt RDR2 will top it once I get around to getting it.

This looks spectacular. Can't wait to see what the community puts into this!

@get2sammyb how is clumsy controls expertly honed gameplay? Surely when critiquing and scoring a game, you have to do this honestly? Not glazing over a very clumsy experience because you like the rest? What one thing one person may be able to mostly ignore and handle another may have severe trouble with and make said game unplayable. You guys fail to realise you have a direct influence on people's decisions to buy a game or not? And by not giving an honest review score, your failing to live.up to that responsibility right? Also it doesn't help the devs improve their game where it needs improving by giving glossed over scores.

@LN78 I think if we just give to many 10/10 to games when there are actual problems which can be improved upon. Then it's less likely the devs will see the problem and make a great/near perfect game better! If they just see perfect scores flying around they won't be thinking oh right we need to improve the controls. Whilst if they saw alot of 9's (still a great score) they may think right what is it we can improve which will make this game actually perfect. That's my thoughts and what I'm trying to get at. But I'm not in any way detracting from the review which is a good write up or bashing on what seems to be a really great game

@ShogunRok I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one. I mean end of the day it's all subjective to that person who plays it i suppose, if you deem a game perfect or not.

@TheArt to be fair if one of those questions is based on your handwriting. Then yes you deserve a 9/10 for bad handwriting. Imo.

@ShogunRok sorry but I have to agree with some of the minority here and question the perfect 10 Score. You stated in your response regarding 10 scores the following
"The pinnacle of a given genre at the time of release, these titles raise the bar in virtually all critical categories. You can be sure that a game awarded this score has the highest quality presentation and expertly honed gameplay"

So I ask, is the controls on a game not counted in terms of its own category or adds towards honed gameplay? As from your own review from the dodgy controls it literally pulls you out of the immersion of the game. That to me states it hasn't raised the bar at all with its homed gameplay. Considering that GTAV did/Does the exact same thing with its clumsiness. I accept all OTHER aspects may be perfect. But when something this big pulls you from the immersion and comfortability of playing said game. Then it needs to be judged accordingly. Not given a pass considering the other aspects are great? Well that's my view and I mean no disrespect personally as I thought your review was good.

And that's l will be sticking with my Jonny aces! Had it for over 10 years and still like it. I can also understand it actually messing with leader board scores. If a high score was logged under one name and then you change that name. It may not register!

I like this. Not as good as part 1 though, but it's up there. And Jaffa cakes are awesome! Whichever flavour, it doesn't matter...

All we really want is a concrete release date (start of 2019, we can only hope?!). But a soundtrack would also be pretty sweet!

Yes please Sony!!

@shogunrok @kyleforrester87 well atleast in orbit loading in you can still access inventory and change loadouts, as such. So it's not completely wasted time loading in. I think that helps alot.

To be fair at this point in time it's the perfect Result. Nate has been carrying the PlayStation icon baton for the past 10 years. And this result with Aloy being the runner up is like a passing of the baton. Once she gets a few more games (asking as they are as solid as the first) then there's no reason she can't be the new icon. Now Nate has officially retired.

Well done @Shogunrok for running it. I'm betting it was a War Of Attrition at times.

@Nakatomi_Uk to be fair you've created a situation where Bungie just can't win. Either it's great and as you say, you lose trust with bungie for making it great. Or it's not so great and you will say Bungie failed making a great expansion. I think these kind of comments don't help games or developers at all. The expectations become unrealistic and unobtainable.

Nathan Fillion was great as Nate Drake, Really encapsulating his personality and wise cracks. However the little bit of the action wasn't so great. We really needed a 10 years younger Fillion to play the role perfectly. I would be down for him playing an older Drake recounting his adventures whilst a younger physical actor does the heavy lifting action wise.

Nate Drake for the Win!!!!

No!! We need a geralt win here! I shall go raid the twitterverse for Geralt fans! I joke ofcourse

I abstain! Seriously I just cannot choose between the two.... I finally went with Nate because he has more of a franchise already and an established ps icon. But jeez that was hard

Same as everyone else bought it on both systems. Platinumed on both ps3 and ps4! Probably completed it on all difficulties atleast ten times. All time favourite game. Absolutely perfect. Deserves those numbers

Nate Drake has to win This! He's my only hope of beating the God Kratos and taking the crown!!

I only want to see an Elder Scrolls VI announcement. But would also take a Starfield update to.

On the subject of Destiny 2, will you be reviewing Warmind upon release?

How is Geralt losing?! I can't accept that!

Leon?!?! No!!?!? As if I had to choose between Nate and Leon!! So so hard, had to go with My boy Nate though. All the others were easy choices

@AFCC @Get2Sammyb agreed! I remember the days of Lord Of The Rings Two Towers. They had interviews with some of the film cast on the making of the game. Put them as unlockables For completing it. Should bring that kind of thing back. I would happily watch them as an extra bonus for completing a game.

Jeez this is tough. My girl Jill deadlocked. And had to leave Lara in a tomb for my boy Joel! I'm not looking forward for the next round of choices! some dark times ahead.

@Get2sammyb I think what you and the 3 posters mean is fresh? Walking dead S1 had that new freshness, haven't played anything like this before. Whilst The wolf amongst us and Borderlands still recaptured the magic but didn't have the freshness due to following Walking Dead S1. Both games are as good as if not better but they weren't first! IMO Borderlands is the best Telltale game.

Please can they just sell the rights to someone like Naughty Dog. Someone who will do the material justice! :/

@shogunrok hey is this only single player as well? Or can a friend jump in and play another character? Sorry of this was previously covered in a past article though.

Where's the love for Sub Zero?! He's surely like hall of fame worthy as iconic characters go right?!

My top 3 out of those is 1) Uncharted Lost Legacy. 2) Resident Evil VII. 3) Destiny 2. I would of added Battlefront 2 over Destiny 2 but wasn't an option.

Alien isolation has my pick! TLOU is a better game but not the better horror. That Alien AI is horrific!

Does the UK gold edition get all this included in the package I take it?

Microtransactions aside, I am so looking forward to this. Forts, riding Drakes, creating that perfect army and ofcourse the Nemesis System.

Always will be Final Fantasy XII for me.

To be fair this is a great tactic from the company. Aggressive yes, but I think it will go down well.

Done!! All time Favourite Final Fantasy game!! And those Judge busts are just perfect!

Two big factors playing into this IMO. First digital as you say in the article has now taken off and no doubt played massively into this. Secondly the people who were burned by the first and fence sitters are waiting for final reviews before buying. So I think the bigger picture won't play into account until a few weeks after release.

@Anchorsam_9 well I was mainly thinking of getting this due solely of the Longshot mode. But now from your review I may just stick with Madden 17! Even with the god that is Brady on the front cover!

Dammit waiting for mine to arrive by post!

This is bull manure at it's highest. Platinum hunting was about tests of skill, not tests of bigger wallets. To say we have to dish out more money to earn the platinum is wrong on all accounts. This needs looking into before it catches on and all publishers start holding Platinum trophies hostage!

The Witcher 3 only placed 20th overall. No Mass Effect 2. Nope sorry not a good list this. I know it's all based on personal preference but I just can't get down with that list. My Top 3 no particular order...
Witcher 3
Final Fantasy XII
Mass Effect 2

Deadlight and resident evil 0 for me! Thank you very much!

I kinda think they would say that even if they are actually in the process of making it. Make it a bigger surprise for when they announce it. But man I have been waiting a lifetime it seems for a new one to be announced!

Question though? I thought the gold edition included the Steelbook? From the leaked gold edition article you posted prior? Is that not included now then I take it? Pretty gutted if so.

This actually looks rather interesting. Would this then support couch co-op? Or still be online co-op only? Just the split screen built into the game?

Currently surviving Friday 13th game. It's brilliantly tense when in a game. But let down massively with login and matchmaking errors. Any news in when your reviewing this too???
