Really hoping a current gen patch for Wildlands is somewhere towards the top of Ubi’s to do list 🤞

Should’ve saw it through to 100% release completion before handing it off to another team (Bluepoint, Bend… Nixxies even) to keep it ticking over.

Shame, I actually quite enjoyed my time with it. Just goes to show what a fallacy GaaS are though. As I’ve said many times, yes there are exceptions to the rule (but even they appear to be struggling lately - Fortnite)… but generally dev-teams are ****ing into the wind chasing this particular dragon.

I wasn’t gonna bother but now that it’s been confirmed that I can dress the Master Chief up like a can of Fanta… I’m all over it!

@Supern0va ikr just stream yourself about on the river 😉

@Dogbreath highly possible, like I said I could be wrong about my prediction. I just disagree with people stating opinion (informed or otherwise) as fact in an effort to promote their own agenda and will continue to call people out for it.

@Dogbreath you just listen to whom you want to listen to to reinforce your own world-view, there has been just as many leakers tout that Sony are pulling out all the stops to provide an affordable PS6.

I could obviously be wrong but I’m guessing the discless PS6 will release at £700.00. With the money that Sony make through their storefront it would be a very strange move to proceed the vast majority of its user base out of the market.

And before you say it, yes that would be below the current PS5 Pro price… and yes I can see how some people are unable to read between the lines of how that would be possible (a more powerful PS6 releasing at a price under the less powerful PS5 Pro). But the PS6 will be a mass-market device, with the inherent cost benefits of mass purchasing power of components. PS5 Pro was always a niche product. Small component ordering, small market expectations.

edit. And I’m not disagreeing that game-streaming will eventually replace gaming hardware (just refer to my comment to Gemini a few comments up from my response to you) just that you were being intentionally disingenuous by stating £1000 for a PS6 as if it was a fact to support your own narrative.

@Dogbreath oh so you’ve announced the rrp for a PS6 via an online comments section. Strange that Sony would change strategy to allow a PC enthusiast that frequents a PlayStation website to announce such a major announcement like that 🤔

@GeminiX53 making friends again I see 🤣. I don’t disagree though, game streaming will undoubtedly eventually replace gaming hardware.

@Th3solution you remember right mate, I haven’t played Lies of P yet… and am fully prepared for it to blow my doors off 🤞. About LotF (2023)… I’d actually rate the Nioh games above it in terms of actual gameplay (I haven’t played 3 yet neither). LotF (2023) is the closest thing theres been to a From Soft souls game not made by From though. Honestly, they just nailed the assignment. It is a bit easy though if you get me 😉

@Yousef- any day that theres souls-like news is a day that I celebrate (I celebrate a lot 😁).

Played this for the first time last year… good game fair play. Really hoping Darksiders 4 doesn’t get cancelled 🤞

I won’t play it at release, as I have a shed-load of souls-likes backed-up. I’ll buy it at release though, to reward the dev’s for their last game.

@CaptD I’ve already played the other versions multiple times mate, I ain’t in any rush. I’ve always been more tantric than two jerks and a squirt if you get me (in my own mind anyway 😁).

I’ve been saving the Part 1 remake and the Part 2 remaster in the hope that there will eventually be a III. If (& when) it releases, I’ll play all three in fairly close proximity to each other (maybe a month or so apart to keep things feeling fresh)… can’t wait!

@11001100110zero well as I say, while I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped I’ll still play the others if they come. I did have fun in co-op on whatever the hardest difficulty was.

@ChopperCampbell yeah I will mate… and in fairness, I did enjoy the co-op playthrough of Gears more than my solo run, so it wasn’t all bad. The mp grind for the platinum nearly killed me though 😅

Gears of War was the one Xbox franchise I felt I’d like, so I played through Reloaded in January and wasn’t that impressed tbh. In fairness, although it had a nice lick of paint it is essentially a 20 year old game , so I will give any subsequent Gears games that release on PlayStation a go… with lower expectations this time though.

I had one for £570 just before Christmas. Best pre-emptive gaming purchase I’ve ever made!

I managed to finish of the Devil May Cry 2 plat last night, which I’m happy about, as I have a few meaty games lined up for April and need every extra bit of time I can find to get them done. Will either make a start on World War Z: Aftermath or Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. I won’t have a lot of spare time this weekend but I’ll hopefully get a bit done on one of these at least.

I’ll also be returning to Gears of War: Reloaded tonight for one night only, to help a couple of guys out with TDM map wins and weapon kills. It will then be finally uninstalled.

Right, third rescan… NTE: Neverness to Everness and only because it shows it in the small print under related games lol. NTE simply sounds like some slop-shop developer lol, get it together!

So excuse me for scanning (& then re-scanning!) your article… but what is this game even called?

Ahh 🤔… it won’t run at 8K & 1200 fps with path-tracing though peasants 🧐 /s

Brilliant game if anyone is looking for something to scratch that Dark Souls itch.

lol… theres always one 😂

Make a start on my Dante playthrough on Devil May Cry 2 and ideally get pretty far through it as I want the plat done and dusted before April and there’s a lot to do. So far I’m not finding it the travesty that most people seem to think though, as I actually thought the Lucia playthrough was alright. Happy weekend y’all!

54% in Europe apparently!!!!

@RoomWithaMoose well, as always we’ll have to agree to disagree. My personal take is it got double-glazed by bots pre-release, then it released mid, then anyone who isn’t overly-invested in Microsoft laughed, the end.

@Yor-sama I wonder how many loadings between buildings they add this time

16x the loadings @Yor-sama, 16x…

@RoomWithaMoose Conversely, declaring it Game of the Generation before anyone had even played it was a stupid fanboy declaration? 🤷‍♂️ works both ways, only the declaration actually started it

@EfYI psmr my friend, psmr…

@Questionable_Duck if it was a ps5 exclusive no one would’ve been hailing it as Game of the Generation before it’s even released.

@Questionable_Duck @trev666 I think the ‘hate’ comes down to a certain minority of gamers aligned to a shade of green rather than blue shouting from the rooftops for anyone that’d listen, about it being Game of the Generation… then when it actually released it was around a 7/10. If they’d just kept their powder dry on the gushing, this hate you speak of would’ve been far less of a thing.

Got back on Hellpoint last night after spending the last couple of weeks getting back on schedule with Mafia 2 and finally finishing off the Resident Evil: Revelations plat… and enjoyed my evening with it.

Gonna try and get as much of that done before starting Devil May Cry 2 next week. If I can finish off the plats on both by the start of April, I’ll be getting back on track after taking a month or so off.

Never heard of it

I detect some ill-will between SE and Sony rn. Can’t imagine it’ll help them get anywhere nearer to those lofty sales goals of theirs 🤔

@glennthefrog well if that is the case (and I think that you’re probably right) why anyone would want to buy what is essentially an arse-covering exercise is beyond me, when you can just swap over to PC for real, or stay in the console environment with PlayStation. No one wants a half-arsed effort… the same thing happened when people booted up their Xbox ROG Ally S/X’s for the first time and realised that they’d been sold a lie.

@TrollOfWar I suppose… it’s just that the product is likely to be so niche (due to the price, the fact that it is essentially a pre-built PC and not a console, their games being available everywhere… and just the negative perception that the vast majority of gamers have of the brand now), that it just doesn’t seem worth all the investment for 5-10 million extra windows users (many of which probably already use windows).

Admittedly being 100% armchair CEO here but I just don’t see how this works for them (Microsoft)… the fact that they’ve clearly got extremely educated people making these decisions means that I’m missing something right?

@cainhurst94 xactli

Fkn Sony 1st party walking-sim slop as per /s

B E A youtiful! Can’t wait… and another game that makes me glad I picked up a Pro.

****ing scum-bag compa… oh wait, how nice 😁

I was actually over Bethesda games for a while… and that was more to do with Obsidians Outer Worlds more than anything else (+ finishing off the dregs of the Fallout 4 plat). But then the Fallout show started and I wanted back in and played through Fallout: New Vegas again and fell back in love with it.

Really looking forward to this!

“Exclusives are back to being anti-consumer again everyone… I guess Asha were’nt hearing us after all dammit!”

Damn… even a story that doesn’t involve lay-offs makes it a unclear how much 💩 the industry is in rn.

Yeah not a fan of this!

I think it’ll cost more than that tbh.

If that is the case, imagine how many sales Nintendo are leaving on the table… yet crickets.
