@Overmind not if you don't count Bayonetta 3 as the third one 😁👍

@Psofo they nine inch nailed it

It's always nice to be recognised for your work by your employers. Doesn't happen anywhere near often enough, quite the opposite sadly. I'd have been happy with the money but to get Pro too is fantastic.

'Composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, perhaps best known as Nine Inch Nails, have a distinctive sound unlike anyone else'

I'd say Marilyn Manson sounds like NiN seeing as Trent produced for him. And late The Cure stuff.

@Overmind I forgot about Ninja. I'd also put From Software games in there for the reason that its so fairly implemented. Mistakes are punished justly and study and patience are rewarded.

@Overmind OK, that makes sense to me now. It's good but it's not as good as Metal Gear: Revengeance or Batman, for me. Or Nier Automata. Or Bayonnetta 2. On par with Sekiro.

@nessisonett those mistakes, it can be argued, are emerging now in the West. Clamp downs on personal freedoms especially speech, compelled speech, more State control, higher taxation, more focus on militarisation and expenditure on war and warcraft, increased tensions globally, demonisation and dehumanisation of the political opposition and its followers, mainstream media losing impartiality, persecution of opposing opinions...there are parallels that we should be wary of.

@Overmind do you mean the best character in an action game, or the best action game mechanics?

I don't get fan service like this. You want to celebrate a much-loved game by releasing a product that's outside the price range of the majority of the fanbase. What's the point other than to create some aspirational, grail-like marketing that only serves the most impulsive or affluent of gamers. 15 years isn't even a special anniversary to memorialise. Give me something I can appreciate that doesn't make me chose between it and a Switch.

@TruthClaire1 seems real to me. Don't think I'm imagining any of this.

@Perturbator I understand why you say what you say, but don't agree, we'll, apart from MS messing things up but that's mostly because Sony got things so right MS felt they needed to come up with a new, totally dumb strategy.

@themightyant I don't think that should matter, seeing as they are cheats. Stick them on a small, dedicated server and if it's empty tough *****

@djlard it happens with GTAV, or at least it did when I last played a few years ago. Often wondered why it isn't universal in all MP games.

Crossplay with PC players is always turned off because of the cheats. So many of them just can't help themselves and its sad.

@Perturbator out of interest, what are the lots of bad decisions Sony has made that has lead them to leave MS, their main rival, in the dust across two generations? I'd argue they continue to make a majority of good decisions

@GymratAmarillo Is the video game industry headed for another collapse, or has one already begun?"

When exactly was the last one?

The 80s.

Forget that, Sony need to make the 30th Anniversary stuff permanent. I don't want to lose the PS1 and its noises.

@PaperAlien Wipeout Omega Collection is 4K 60fps, looks great, plays great, its as modern as it gets already. Have you played it?

@Matthewnh I followed the same route to Playstation, though I had all the Amigas in my time, 500, 500+, 600 and 1200. It was my favourite machine of all time. Simply brilliant.

@Jacko11 don't hate the player, hate the meat casing. I took your comment, gave it a bath, and released it into the wild. It was beautiful watching it scamper into the forest back to its home in Judgement Bluff 😁

@Jacko11 congratulations 🎊 👏 What did you win for such an incredible achievement it had to be announced?

I've never wanted to play it and still don't now it's still not free and on subscription. Not a good month for me. I voted None, with the pointless padding of 'to be honest'. Looking forward to Feb.

@Cloud39472 same. And if I can help it neither will as many of my friends and family as I can afford

@Northern_munkey I've never played PvP as I don't see it being that entertaining. The fun to be had with SM2 is smashing up Tyranids and Chaos ***** 😁

@Northern_munkey the story mode of Space Marines 2 doesn't do the game justice. I recommend you play it online too where you get to use the abilities which are almost totally absent from SP.

@Cloud39472 imagine if we win!!!! Id buy Konami and tell them to make a new Pro Evo 😁

I'm playing Jurassic World 2. I didn't think I'd enjoy it but dinosaurs escaping and killing tourists is fun!

@Cloud39472 good luck Cloud! This could be the start of a new life 😄😄😁 I'm not in the country at the moment so will miss next week. I don't gamble either, it's been years since I've done the lottery.

@Rodimusprime1313

GTA 6. Awful question 😄😄😄👍

@Bez87 that's what I'm saying too. At some point around that time he took stock of life and made changes that were beneficial to his mental health. Took to painting instead of acting.

@AhmadSumadi the game is about a crazy scientist and his obsession with carbon dating everything he sees.

"Eurogamer has been following this rather bizarre story, which just goes to show how fearful we should all be when it comes to Rockstar's litigious parent company"

Rockstar has nothing on Eurogamer when it comes to censorship and control of a narrative 😄😄

@jeff19023 they said they'd like to but it's tricky!

@QuoVadis oh man, you missed on on the absolute golden age of gaming!! The Amiga was the pinnacle of our hobby. Sony and PlayStation transformed the industry and made it mainstream worldwide but that was the just things plateauing. The internet was when it began to decline, stagnate and homogenise.

Though I've got to admit, the PC is probably where there's the most purest form of gaming to be had thanks to the modding community, keeping the spirit of the Wild West of early years alive.

@Cloud39472 👍

I don't even know when the draw is. When do they do it?

@DogPark mate, it's 24/7 news on gaming websites. They've got to create articles out of all sorts of sources to keep the clicks going. That's why if someone on reddit says a game made him sneeze it gets reported on. PS aren't being paid to promote WW, but they do get paid if you click on the article to ask the question 😁

@QuoVadis as a console gamer since the death of the greatest machine ever, the Amiga, I'm mildly envious of PC gamers ability to play mods of games.

@Cloud39472 mate, now that I've written them down I may have to play them so let's form a pact and share the winnings 😁

@QuoVadis Half Life 3 will be out before that 😔

@Ravix it was after Kick Arse 2, I think, because he distanced himself from it and its violence. Around that time he started become more interested in enriching his soul.

Colony Wars, G Police, Syphon Filter, Parasite Eve, Bushido Blade, please. I know they're not Sony but they were exclusives, aquire them!

@ShogunRok some good games you've all chosen, although one of you was way off.

@Cloud39472 next week's lottery numbers are 4 24 25 31 39 49.
Enjoy your retirement!

"Wuthering Waves has shot straight to the top of the PS Store’s best sellers list in Japan.."

What's the point of including F2P games in a best sellers list? Everyone and their dog is going to download a decent and hyped F2P game just to see if it's any good. It's like Facebook users actually thinking they actually have hundreds of friends.

@LifeGirl I think he grew quite disillusioned with Hollywierd and became more spiritual, which only made my like him all the more.
