I’m more than glad Larian dropped it, I just want to see them return to the world of Divinity. As for Obsidian, I just want to see them on Pillars 3… come on!
Haven’t played Destiny in forever, I’m still very fond of it though, and had some great times playing it. It had its fair share of missteps and problems.
I’d be rooting for a successful Destiny 3, for sure!
Kinda interested in this one, even though I didn't gel much with the first game. Will wait for these performance updates, though. Would be silly not to at this point.
(Does this one have overworld music, or is it mostly silent like the first game??)
I’ll be playing some Pillars of Eternity 2. 80 or so hours into my second run, I really love this game. I do need to go back to number 1 and get that finished. And then just hope one day they make a 3rd one (yes, I’d buy an Xbox for it if necessary!)
@Northern_munkey It matters because in the meantime Sony want to sell standard PS5's. If it becomes common knowledge that a new unit is on the way people will understandably sit tight for more info. At best, anyone on the fence over a PS5 will definitely be put off a purchase until they hear more about the Pro now.
It simply throws a spanner in the works of their expensive day to day marketing operation. It's pretty understandable that they would want to come down hard on this, not just because of this but potential future leaks, too.
Not that I care, more power to the consumer and all that.
@Rosona there was a small tunnel I could swim through in the bottom of a water pit. Somehow I completely missed it the eight-odd times I had passed by it the night before. That sort of thing is really my experience of Tomb Raider back in the day, the best thing to do when stuck was just stop playing as nine times out of ten the solution is found almost straight away when you pick it back up again. Frustrating, but there really isn’t anything quite like it….
I am slowly chipping away at Tomb Raider 2, although stuck near the end of Venice right now. I spent 2 hours accomplishing nothing on it last night, just doing circles. I’m hoping to start playing it tonight and find the solution within 10 minutes because that would be absolute classic Tomb Raider right there.
No, and I don't know if I will ever get round to it, to the extent I am considering looking up the story now as I am keen to hear what they have done with it... hmmmm.
@get2sammyb I really don't understand why you’d expect them to put all their cards on the table, and commit to exactly what the deal will be moving forward.
It’s obviously a case of reading between the lines.
I really doubt they could be more definitive even if they wanted to be.
What I got from it is simply that anything and everything is potentially up for review on a case by case basis.
Edit: it does seem strange that they don’t just confirm the 4, though, to avoid further speculation.
I have been wanting to replay these for ages, glad they have finally been remastered. I’m picking them up at midnight or tomorrow if I can’t stay awake that long
I’ve been trying to play a bit of Star Rail but after an hour or so I am close to giving up as I don’t have a clue what’s going on! I just got on the train?!
It seems weird at first, but Sony do some strange things with hardware so I could totally believe this is happening.
The problem for me is less that this is unlikely to materialise, and more that Sony just won’t support it properly when it does. So it’s hard to be excited on that basis.
Really, the Vita is powerful and feature rich enough to still be going now.
"We knew we were on the right track in our early playtests because some play testers didn’t even know they were playing with the modern art toggled on."
@VanguardKaiser I think most are. The other day myself and another guy tried to buy some games, the guy wasn’t behind the counter. The chap on the Sports Direct till one over said he’d be back in 45 minutes 😂
I played it for 10 hours or so but haven’t gone back to it. I can’t follow the story at all and it’s just all a bit boring compared to D3, for me at least. I want to get back to it but I really don’t have a clue what is going on.
My only anticipated release for 2024 is Tomb Raider for now, I've been looking forward to playing these games again for a while so this is well received. FF7 is interesting, but I keep bouncing off part 1 so I dunno.
@Vega37 news flash buddy, there is bias literally EVERYWHERE. Recommend choosing something a little more important to get bent out of shape over in 24.
I finally picked up GT7, so I have mostly been playing that. The racing is fun, but the menus thing is kinda weird, I guess. Not exactly bad, just weird. I wish the soundtrack was a bit more interesting too.
I’ll be playing a bit of Resident Evil 5 with a buddy. I reckon this is the 4th time I’ve played it through over the years, we’re doing it on veteran this time - it’s not too tough really, although it seems enemies hit pretty hard. Around chapter 5 so not much left. There really aren’t many co-op experiences that match this, and it’s actually got me looking forward to a remake (as long as they keep the co-op stuff, that is).
@Intr1n5ic while I don’t play my PS5 that much, I do think it’s generally worth trading in your stock PS5 and putting a bit of cash toward a Pro. At least, I don’t regret having done that with my PS4.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522
A bit blown out today, but I’ll be playing some more Pillars of Eternity 2 and finishing off the (pretty great) Stellar Blade demo.
In the mood for some OG FF7, too.

Lmao yup. Just booted it up and found what I was looking for within 3 minutes. Every god damn time, Tomb Raider. Every god damn time.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Director Says Travel Isn't Boring, Your Game Is

Re: Diablo 4 Season 3 Set for the 23rd January
@Shepherd_Tallon @ShogunRok The combat in D3 is very rhythmic, D4 less so I find. It's just less engaging (and therapeutic) moment to moment.
