Re: Soapbox: GTA: San Andreas Is Still an Open World Classic

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

Re: Alex Scott Becomes First Female Broadcast Voice in FIFA 22

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.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?

roe

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.

Re: When Will PS5 Exclusives Drop in Price on PS Store?

roe

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.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Returnal?

roe

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.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 374

roe

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.

Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Becomes an eSport with PS5 Challenges

roe

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

Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Dev Enlisted for Call of Duty, Er, Duty

roe

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
