It's good that there is content but it's lame that only the top 5% of players will get that car. I've become better at this game over the last few days but I am still averaging around 4-6th place online (and I'm sure that's because other racers end up leaving the race mid way through...)

I notice that the top players are using N. Tropy normally so I assume they've learned the best lines through doing the time trials but I haven't even attempted them yet because of the warning we got about corrupted saves. Hopefully I can get better when the time trials are patched but I still won't get near that top 5%.

I'd even be happy if the car became available indefinitely for an insane amount of wumpa coins. Then at least every player can get it even if it's through massive grinding.

Just looked....doesn't seem to be free? It says 15.99

@ShogunRok @get2sammyb @AdamNovice were these poll articles not posted prior to the price increase/games drop? (I've been linked over to this site from Nintendo life and been visiting for a good few months).

I quite like these articles, just to find out what push square and the readers think of the line up. The fact remains that ps plus has decreased in value but this article doesn't comment on it as far as I can tell, it's just a generic poll.

Thought I'd throw my two cents in so the authors don't get too disheartened!

On topic: I don't like football but will try the racing game. I've been trying to play/complete/delete ps plus games for ages to make space on my hard drive so I will at least have to give PES a go. The only football game I like is FIFA 2000 on ps1 for some reason (probably because it's more arcadey). I once played 90 minute match with a friend at 1 in the morning and our scores were like 30-27 (they would've been higher but we kept falling asleep at random intervals because we were so drunk and tired!)

Is this deal for digital only?

Edit: maybe it doesn't matter as it costs 50 notes anyway

Loot boxes are bad and EA are the worst for them. I think because of their financial success on mobile platforms, Simpsons tapped out anyone?

I've known people whose lives have been stuck in a vicious cycle which is either due to or exacerbated by the presence of FIFA coins in their lives. I've never played it so I don't know the exact details of the game but I know the type of game from experience.

It is true that some people can moderate their lives and spending appropriately. It's also true that some people have so much money that the damage mtx/loot boxes cause is just psychological rather than also taking a financial toll. It is unfortunately true that games of these nature deliberately target the vulnerable, whether that be a child or young adult, disabled or people in poor circumstances (unsatisfying job, rough relationship, difficult times in general). People get their positive experience from these sorts of games, not realising that it is only exacerbating the personal issues that drove them to it in the first place.

Unfortunately gambling can't be banned, as countries with overturned laws have demonstrated. But like smoking, all adverts for gambling or games that even whiff of lootboxes should be banned outright. It is lame for the people who work so hard on these games, as they are not seeing all the dividends but I would like it if the CEOs and middle men were not pocketing the hard earned cash of the consumer using sleazy underhanded tactics.

Unfortunately I also doubt the UK will do jack all about this, especially the Tories as they are in the pockets of these sorts of businessmen.

I like complete editions or just reasonable purchases, maybe bundle the costumes in with a season pass that we can get on sale. there is no way I am going to spend individual amounts of money on individual costumes. Unfortunately it does affect the way I play because I'll be so annoyed at the cosmetic pay wall, I may not play at all.

Looks similar in gameplay to the PS1 contra, I haven't played it but I've seen the avgn on it

Where are the stars? Bottom right hand corner? Bottom left looks like snow

@BrettAwesome you are more likely to end up in the suburbs than the countryside if you venture out of the London city limits

@Deadlyblack funnily enough I have plus and I want the vanilla version. I'm hoping it has the unedited boss battles!

@JohnnyShoulder cheers, I'll take a look when it's on

Probably a n00b question but where do you buy the physical items on sale in the UK? Is there a Sony store or is the sale going on at multiple retailers??

I need those PS4 joy con, too bad they are just a Photoshop

@ArcanaXVI if it's a second name change and it costs money, maybe Sony didn't want to be known for offering the cheapest brass around

Lol replace it with XXX

@nhSnork beat me to it!

@ArcanaXVI lol at brass, must be UK only slang

This reads like if David Icke had an opinion column in The Sun....though I am sure even David Icke agrees that Fortnite is designed to prey on the wallets of vulnerable people

Get out of my pub

When it comes to sonic games, "No further details" is a direct contradiction to "Good news everyone!". Maybe if Christian Whitehead is involved then we can say it's good news
