@windxtravelerx I played it on base PS5 and it ran brilliantly.
If you have plus premium try it on the trial
I couldn't put it down and genuinely never had an issue with it. I was put off my digital foundry review but not sure if it was patched as it ran amazingly when I played it
@Deljo I did. And I had a big library of games on it across physical, digital and on plus ready to play on PS5.
It also meant I could put my PS4 in my kids room for them to play with and if I wanted to get a PS4 game I didn't have to mess about swapping over the console (we don't have much space).
Added to this the PS4 backwards compatibility in most cases ran better on PS5 with lots of 60fps patches so the PS4 compatibility was a huge boon
When it's on some sort of sale I'll buy this as do like the look and can get past lack of interaction for a good story, just don't want to pay full price.
Bit surprised seeing someone saying it's not got great gameplay but then adding it's behind expedition 33 for their GOTY 🤣
Also not sure how pointing out someone may want to get help isn't being kind anyway. Should we let him rule his life with pointless invisible trinkets?
@Oram77 to be the fair the article doesn't specify if the upgrade is for digital only or physical. Yooka Replaylee was only a discounted upgrade for digital version so I think it's a fair question
If stray hadn't been on plus extra at launch this selection would be better and I'd likely be itching to play it. But I finished it when it 1st came out.
Finished the awesome Ghost of Yotei last week. GOY is my GOTY so far.
Just started Silent Hill f and early days I'm not sure it's for me but I'll give it a fair chance. I do find after playing an amazing game the next one always fails to fully grab me
@StitchJones I was torn between cronos and silent hill but went for silent hill as cronos doesn't have difficulty options and I know id struggle on it as I'm terrible at conserving ammo 🤣
I'm hoping some new difficulty options may get added on a patch before Christmas then I'd get it in a heartbeat
This was the first PS1 game I played when my brother got one in 1995 as an early adopter. At the time it looked stunning especially after being used to 2D games only

As it's on plus I'll play it just to finally try undead nightmares

Dispatch looks brilliant though

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2025?
I really enjoyed Lego horizons, it's worth a play through
Re: Looks Like PS5 Is Going to Clean Up This Black Friday
@Haruki_NLI if the 5 year console with no discount isn't appealing enough to get into 4 figure sales it speaks volumes.
I imagine before the sale prices PS5 sales were more than 700. I'm too lazy to research this however lol
Re: Looks Like PS5 Is Going to Clean Up This Black Friday
@Gunbeld that's bad. I was trying to be conservative with my guestimates. Being outsold 3 to 1 in your best market sums it up.
That's 2 generations in a row now that Xbox has massively been outsold by it's most like for like competitor.
Re: Looks Like PS5 Is Going to Clean Up This Black Friday
700 Xbox consoles sold.
That's the real story here.
The gap is massive. Must be close to PS5 selling 3 to every Xbox series console 1 at least by now?

Due to the PS4 backwards compatibility alone PS5 is awesome.

Re: Xbox Devs 'Thrilled' to Be Bringing Their Games to PS5
@Misha1 what? It started with 4 games. They have been a lot more than 4 since then. 🙈🤣
Re: Dispatch's Latest PS5 Update Fixes Bugged Trophy, Platinum Now Finally Possible
@Warspite2901 so you're another trophy nut then?
Also not sure how pointing out someone may want to get help isn't being kind anyway. Should we let him rule his life with pointless invisible trinkets?
Re: Dispatch's Latest PS5 Update Fixes Bugged Trophy, Platinum Now Finally Possible
@Balaam_ I seriously think you should consider talking to someone about your trophy obsession. It's not healthy.
You only post about trophies and moan about them being broken or difficult or if a trial pops a trophy and you lose it.
It's almost like a comedy account to me as you seem way OTT about it all
Re: 75+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Black Friday Sale
@TheArt been FIFA sober since PS3 days and no footy games since Pro Evo 2017 (I think) on PS4.
Play alot more games now. From PS1 to mid PS3 days I missed so many big games due to Pro Evo obsession

Enjoyed that video. Some good insights
Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now with 1,900+ PS5, PS4 Offers
Just got the physical edition of Shadow Labyrinth for £11 at Smyth's. Looking forward to getting stuck into that.
And looking into some offers on here but so far it's a tad disappointing
Re: November 2025 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
Pacific Drive and Tomb Raider anniversary downloading as we speak
Re: November 2025 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
@adge_uk I second that notion
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2025?
Still wakes the deep is brilliant. I may try and replay that if I get the time
Thank goodness you're here is worth trying for anyone who hasn't played it. Genuinely funny weird experience.
I'm going to try Pacific Drive. See what it's all about
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
I restarted Horizon Forbidden West on Tuesday so I'll crack on with that I think
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
@TheKurgan I still haven't done it. Not sure I ever will 🙈 it's too long to do all in 1 go for me 🤣

Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for December 2025 Announced
I'm happy with that
Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO by NCSOFT for PC, Mobile
Looks impressive, especially if made for mobile.
But it's multiplayer so it's not for me.
Coincidentally I recently restarted forbidden west as never finished it when it came out
Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2025 Announced
Thank goodness you're here! Is a brilliantly bizarre and funny gem.
Very short and if you just want trophies it would be an easy platinum.
I haven't got the platinum yet as I played it for fun 1st time (still got the majority of them though)
Re: Call of Duty Continues to Handle PS5 Trophies in the Worst Way Possible
It's really crappy for those who like the series.
I personally hate it and haven't bothered with the series for around 10 years and was genuinely surprised they're on black ops 7 already.
They all played exactly the same in my experience and didn't find the story in any apart from modern warfare 1 and black ops 1 engaging
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
I personally think Yotei improves in every way.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (October 2025)
But Yooka Replaylee is also very good and if Yotei wasn't out I would have wasted my vote on that 🤣
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (October 2025)
No brainer.
Ghost of Yotei is superb. An instant classic and brilliant from start to finish
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for November 2025?
If stray hadn't been on plus extra at launch this selection would be better and I'd likely be itching to play it. But I finished it when it 1st came out.
Recommended for anyone who's not played it though
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605
@Blauwe_Chimay Alan Wake 2 is superb. Brilliant in every aspect
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605
@Czar_Khastik that's an instant platinum trophy there!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605

Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
I'm not getting full value for my buck with plus as I don't play online. I just pay for the games
Re: Poll: Do You Play Horror Games Around Halloween?
@StitchJones I was torn between cronos and silent hill but went for silent hill as cronos doesn't have difficulty options and I know id struggle on it as I'm terrible at conserving ammo 🤣
I'm hoping some new difficulty options may get added on a patch before Christmas then I'd get it in a heartbeat
Re: Poll: Do You Play Horror Games Around Halloween?
I just bought Silent Hill f today. I'll be playing that next few nights.
Got until dawn PS5 version and Little nightmares enhanced to play too
Re: Random: Fans Can't Believe Halo Is Coming to PS5 Before Killzone
I tried several times to get into the PS2 original and not enjoyed it any time I have (bit like it is for me with Gears of war).
I really liked 2 and 3, especially 3. It was quite short but it looked and played great back in the day

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 604
Still on Yotei.
The more I play the more I like it and it's up there with the best playstation games for me.
It's challenging Doom the dark ages for my game of the year so far
Re: Xbox Boss Believes Sony's Strategy of Console Exclusives Is 'Antiquated'
@OldGamer999 M I'm not sure why you are taking so much stock in review scores.
Do you only buy games with an average score above 90?
You will be missing some great experiences if that's the case.
I'm currently 32hours into Yotei and not even 50% done and loving it. It's not got a score of 90 or more but to me it's a 95
Re: Sep 2025 USA Sales: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Boycott Fails, Sequel Sells 'Great'
I don't understand these boycott attempts. Too much time on their hands.... time that could be spent on the excellent Ghost of Yotei 🤣
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Battlefield 6?
Curiosity brought me to see how gamers found it.
Like COD I just have no interest in this series but glad people are liking it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
Ghost of yotei and Yooka Re-playlee.
Yotei is superb 25hrs and 33% in taking my time. So immersive.
Re-playlee has improved on the original so much it's unbelievable
Re: The Silent Hill 2 Remake Now Represents a Quarter of the Series' Total Sales

Re: Rumour: Halo Remake Is Coming to PS5, Will Feature 'Modern Gameplay Mechanics'
@get2sammyb until it's ruled out definitely I will hold out hope 🤣🙈
Re: Rumour: Halo Remake Is Coming to PS5, Will Feature 'Modern Gameplay Mechanics'
@nomither6 I have no room for our interest in getting a gaming PC. Doesn't appeal to me at all. I have a switch 1 and 2 though
Re: Rumour: Halo Remake Is Coming to PS5, Will Feature 'Modern Gameplay Mechanics'
The main thing I miss about not having an Xbox is this series so I hope the rumour is true.
That being said I've never got into Halo 2 despite attempts to play it on the original Xbox at launch and the MasterChief collection on Xbox one.
I hope they also port over infinite as want to play this badly but not bad enough to buy a series console
