I don't care what's daring or what's not tbh. Just keep making good games and I'm on board, even if I don't always agree with the directive decisions (ie TLOU 2)
San Andreas was one of the first games I was really hyped for the release.
I remember buying every magazine with it on the cover and reading every new little detail revealed in print. "You can make your character fat in this game? Wow."
I was only 15 at the time so my dad bought it for me too 😂. I think we got it from HMV. I remember the queue being full of people buying a copy
The commentary on the FIFA games has been abysmal for ages now.
It's always out of touch with the tone of the match, it's boring, repetitive, nonsensical and a ton of other phrases you could use to describe how inept it is.
I keep hoping there's gonna be a big shake up in this area but this doesn't really sound like it.
Realism would be nice. Would make a change compared to the ridiculously fast-paced, basketball-style, goalfests the game almost insists on at the moment.
Also, put Three Lions on the soundtrack and in the crowd sounds ffs! It's coming home!
Every time I try a PES game I always struggle to get past the poor presentation of the game.
From freezes every time it switches to a replay to uninspired dull block menus. It's just a real chore to get into the actual gameplay and even then the over-familiarity of FIFA makes it even harder to get into.
Yeah it's definitely sad how Rockstar's output has changed so much, despite maintaining such a high quality as a studio with RDR 2. Just one new game in coming up for 10 years now.
Returnal is slowly consuming my life. I even go to sleep thinking about it now. As I drift in an out of consciousness, I'm constantly thinking about mopping up all the little green and blue dots on my (non-existent) mini-map.
I can't see why they would at the moment. There's just not much incentive to do so from their side and the longer they wait, the less they'll have to drop to make it seem a better deal.
Once people get accustomed to games being £70 at launch, they can drop to £50 and it'll seem more reasonable. Then £35 etc. As opposed to £55, £40, £20 etc.
I've played just over 15 I think and really loving it for the most part. I've had 2 crashes which is frustrating but not seen any other notable glitches or bugs in the game.
Finding it difficult but fun and have yet to beat the 2nd boss (although got pretty close the last couple of attempts), I'm confident I'll do it in the next 2 or 3 tries.
I'd probably say it's between an 8 and a 9 for me at the moment.
Just had my first crash in about 6 hours of total gameplay so far. Frustrating but fortunately I wasn't too far into a run although I was just approaching the boss area
@AgentGuapo I haven't got to that yet, just done the main levels and rolled credits. Now going back through to get the rest of the orbs and collectibles I missed. I've done about half of the trials on their own but I have heard how difficult the Ripsnorter is.
I've had my PS5 a couple of weeks now and really enjoying it so far. Returnal has been excellent in my first few hours of play so I'm gonna be running through that as much as I make time for.
I finished Sackboy yesterday too although there are still plenty of post-game things for me to do so may spend some more time going through that as well.
Sackboy is a really good game. My only real complaint would be that sometimes the movement is a little too slow. It feels like a bit of an added speed boost would make it that bit more enjoyable but it's a really impressive platformer
Nice to see them adding things like this as well for those that want to get even more out of the game
I don't think it's necessarily that Crash 4 didn't sell well (although I wouldn't be surprised at the price point), but it's just COD is on a completely other level to almost every other game series now. It brings in more money than the others so those at the top will turn to it. It's *****, but that's our world
Sounds great. The PS5 lineup is killing it already. Between this, Demon's Souls, Sackboy, Spider-Man, Astro's Playroom and a bunch of other titles, there's already a strong first party lineup on the system.
There are just so many fantastic games on the PS4, even when you go down to the "just about good enough" games there are still tons at that level as well

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?
Elden Ring the standout imo. Looks like everything we hoped for
My most anticipated game is eSports Boxing Club but not much new was shown at E3.
After that I'm excited for the follow up to A Plague Tale, although I'm not sure I needed or wanted a sequel to it tbh.
