@DarianStarfrog it’s apparently been patched now (on Pro at least)… but I decided to start Ghost of Yotei anyway.

This is awesome! I can actually see myself picking a fair few of these up

You can’t spell ignorant without IGN

@Stocksy yeah it’s both a really good game and a great addition to the ip too. I’d happily play through the whole thing again if they ever remastered it.

@CaptD that’s disappointing about the PSVR2 delay for flight sim. Maybe it is finally time to dust off Cyberpunk from the backlog as @EfYI said

Yesterday was my last day in work until 5 May, so wanted something to sink my teeth into… so maybe Starfield? I was also looking for something that would put my Pro through its paces though too, as I haven’t played anything that was pro-enhanced yet… so I seriously considered finally trying Cyberpunk 2077 🤔. I do love a big bombastic 1st party Sony blockbuster for a week off though, so ultimately settled on Ghost of Yotei. Most excited I’ve been about starting up a new game in a while.

I’ll be getting it regardless of review score! I just enjoy open-world games based in the criminal underworld. Massive fan of the Mad Max game that most of the dev team here worked on too.

@get2sammyb umm… I think ‘someone’ still believes them 😏

I’ve already enjoyed the “influencer’s” change of perspective on the importance of exclusivity. As always, they simply take their cue from Microsoft’s ever-shifting policy and then bang that drum. I actually have more fun seeing through their disingenuous posturing than I did playing Microsoft’s games 😎

Just checked my backlog and I actually have the original but know next to nothing about it. Will no doubt pick up the sequel at some point… and then proceed to forget all about that too 😏

I almost always like his performances but having watched a fair few Alannah Pearce podcasts when Troy was a recurring guest (until they fell out), I wasn’t really a fan of his. I can appreciate a man (or woman) who takes their art seriously… but there’s a difference between that and being pretentious. Personally I found Troy regularly seemed the latter.

@CaptD by the time we play this, it’ll have every single piece of gear/kit from the first game 😁

I do love an open-world game, so while I’ve never been tempted by any of the previous anime-styled f2p games released… I’m seriously interested in this one.

On the final leg of World War Z: Aftermath and Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown now (though both have long final legs if fairness). Good games the both of them… and I even enjoyed the pvp on the former, which is unusual for me.

****ing right too!

@Balaam_ the “heavy-one” 😉

@CaptD yo I watch everything… PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. I like to be informed when I get into it with these id1ots 😉

I remember watching an Xboxera episode where specialnick had the temerity to suggest that Fable ‘may’ get delayed until 2027… Jesse got so angry he kicked him from the show! Xbox influencers/content creators are so funny without ever meaning to be 🤣

It’s not a bug/glitch/poor coding etc. it’s endearing /s

I don't know how many times this website has written an article about Game Pass, a Microsoft product not available on Playstation!!!!

Delish! 😋

Everybody knows you never go full gamepass - Kirk Lazarus

@SMJ it’s the beauty of them being 3rd party 😁

More World War Z: Aftermath and Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. With a bit of luck… and elite cat-herding, we might get the PvP trophies squared away today, though I’m not holding my breath tbh 😅. Have a great wknd peeps!

@TrollOfWar how about anything PlayStation related? Which is what we’ve already got with this article… but you seemed to take umbridge at in the first place 🤣

@TrollOfWar them too but they weren’t part of this particular discussion… the third-party aspect seemed pivotal to our particular back-and-forth. Well that… and I’m sure you’d have absolutely no issue with Push Square publishing articles about disgruntled Sony devs, so didn’t think it was worth bringing up.

@TrollOfWar not just Pete Hines but all disgruntled third party devs.

@TrollOfWar so what, it’d be just like if the head of Dice left his position due to the mismanagement of EA and then explained his reasons during an interview. That would get an article, as they make games for PlayStation… so why not this? 🤷‍♂️

@TrollOfWar Bethesda make games for PlayStation

That is NOICE!

I love golf games, so glad that a console version for this has now been announced.

@Yousef- it’ll be a while… but will do 🫡

I haven’t played this yet… but have heard that this is the souls-like fans’ souls-like, so I’m real hyped to eventually get to it. Sad to hear that a team of such talent has gone the way of the dodo 🥲

@GirlVersusGame that’s a new one in me fair play

I’ll still get it if it does release on PS5. I’m a sucker for open-worldiness.

Colour me surprised… but I actually quite like the look of this

@Fiendish-Beaver fair enough, I’ll play it one day and it’ll be interesting to see where I lay with a score for it. I’m guessing it’ll be around 7/7.5ish.

@Fiendish-Beaver I can se your logic… but from everything I’ve seen and read, the 83 on Metacritic and 85 on Open Critic are considered significant over scores. To offer the other side of the spectrum, it’s rated as 6/10 and 58% on steam and steamdb. 7/10 seems pretty fair considering.

@Dan12836666 I see that you have a keen understanding of sarcasm 😏

Damn this generation is whack… only a 7 for GotG! 🤬

It took a while for the Uncharted games to properly land with me for some reason but after around 16 years and three playthroughs of 1 and 2 and two playthroughs of 3… I’m now a really big fan. Looking forward to playing 4, LL and LoTC (& an eventual 5 one day 🤞) once I’ve got the platinum on 3.

@nomither6 they are

Oh I’ve done far madder I can assure you 😅

Even though I’ve already plat’d LotF I’m hyped that so many other people will now get to play it!

@CaptD congrats mate, I knew the Taycan would be good for something 😁

@Blauwe_Chimay that is better now tbh, I’ve only lost connection a couple of times. Still far from perfect though

Some more Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown and World War Z: Aftermath hopefully. The latter is more my bag but after getting over the initial shock of how shoddy TDU: SC looked, I’m actually enjoying that quite a bit too. Had an absolute nightmare trying to get in the same server with @CaptD yesterday though, to finish off the last FRIM (free ride instant money) action (slipstream). For a constantly online game, built around social racing it has possibly the worst multiplayer implementation yet seen. We eventually managed it through sheer bloody-mindedness though 😅.

@D6rkLordS6t6n @Hypoman “ We suppose the most important thing here is the inclusion of Performance Mode from day one; the game was locked at 30fps when it deployed on Xbox, although a faster frame rate option was patched in later. Here it’ll be available from the jump.”

@Th3solution damn dude… I’d be panicking already not gonna lie 😂. I know it can be a little intimidating booting one up for the first time in a while but I guarantee you that within 5 minutes of booting Dark Souls 3 for the first time, you’ll be glad that you did. The fact that you’ve had a full year off from souls-likes will probably help you appreciate it even more I reckon. Anyway, I can’t wait to hear all about it.

I’d rather they just charge £1.99 or something than have to go through all that 😅

@Th3solution I do have it, and have heard really good things about it too… **** knows when I’ll actually get to it though 😅. This year I’ve played Hellpoint and have Lies of P lined up for the second half of the year. Next year I’ll be playing Thymesia and Black Myth: Wukong.

And that’s not to mention Stranger of Paradise, Wo Long, Mortal Shell, Wuchang, Enotria, Steel Rising… not to mention a few souls-lites like Stellar Blade and Blades of Fire. I really need to up my souls-likes to 3 per year but where I’m gonna find the time I do not know.
