I will hold on a bit for this as got a bit of a backlog but I think it's something I'm going to enjoy. Like linear games, like story heavy games. Love Uncharted and this seems like it plays a bit like Uncharted in parts
Having played it in 1997 I can confirm it's an abomination in every way.
An assault to your eyes and ears and sense of touch with it's awful gameplay. Pretty sure it's tasteless humour takes care of taste and I bet it friggin stinks too
@Simulated-Soul playstation classics seem to get a pass on having trophies. Especially at launch. Some get them added but some don't. Must depend on publisher
Managed to persuade my wife we needed a Switch 2 (didn't take much persuasion to be fair especially as our switch 1 doesn't work with most carts anymore) so I'm playing DK Bananza and it's as good as I hoped.
Also still on the brilliant Tails of Iron 2 on PS5 and tried a bit of Lies of P which I quite enjoyed but will come back to that
With the new difficulty options I'm going to give Lies of P a try. Good job I like the look of it as somehow playstation ignored my auto renewal off selection and charged me £119.99 for premium while I've been abroad
I'm currently in sunny Spain so reading books in the sun instead of gaming indoors. Loving it but do miss my PS5.
Don't want my holiday to end but when I get home I'll be back on the excellent Tails of Iron 2 and I'll see if can persuade my wife to get a switch 2 with Donkey Kong Bananza if we don't over spend here 🙈😂
I have never got into an Bethesda RPG's not oblivion, not Skyrim not fallout 3 or 4 so it was never on my radar but it's good to have it on PS5 for those that do want it. I imagine it'll sell loads.
I prefer Bethesda as a publisher of Doom, dishonered etc
At launch I didn't like the auto fail stealth, the gun play was sub par and I couldn't get used to the flight controls but if I can get it under £20 I'd give it another chance
@DETfaninATL there are suggestions that insomniac have a secret 3rd game being in development alongside wolverine and Spiderman 3 and I think it's possible it's a remaster or sunset overdrive for series X PS5 and PC. Probably wrong mind lol
@Flora2122 that's cause most people are idiots unfortunately. In a scoring system out of 10 a 5 is average and 6 is above average. If you are into the IP or like the dev or just die hard into a specific genre ignoring games that get 6/7 etc is just idiotic
I don't agree that it's just more of the same, it's a sequel so it's not going to be radically different (and if it was people would complain about that too).

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 594
I got the platinum on the excellent Tails of Iron 2.
Now on DK Bananza (I can see why it got 9s and 10s, it's superb) and the PS5 version of Hellblade
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 594
@Bentleyma I like the look of that. Got a few games on the go at the moment but will get this when it's on a good sale

Re: Hellblade 1 Finally Enhanced for PS5, Out Now with Free Upgrade
Mines downloaded ok. I'll give this another play through. Not getting 2 until it's cheap though

Re: Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced (PS5) - Cinematic Spectacle Offers Little Else
@windxtravelerx yeah I'm sick of reviews on sites and YouTube being on pro when it's the niche console with the low install base.
Reviews should be for base system with a section about pro enhancements
Re: Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced (PS5) - Cinematic Spectacle Offers Little Else
I've been wanting to play this for ages but I'm not prepared to pay more than £25 for it.
I imagine I'll get this in the Christmas or new year sale for about £18
Any news on the enhanced version of the first game that's meant to be a free upgrade if you own PS4 version?

Re: Sony Will Fund the Next Wave of PS5 Hits from China
@themightyant F.I.S.T is an awful name agreed but its excellent game
Re: Sony Will Fund the Next Wave of PS5 Hits from China
@Dodoo well it was for while until Sony thought they can make more money going multi platform on a live service game.
I don't see them making any single player games for Xbox anytime soon despite the recent job listing

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 591
@lazarus11 I liked the look of this but got put off by reviews saying it's very janky

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Reportedly Cancelled, Will Stay in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
I may give outlaws a second chance at some point.

Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
@Dan12836666 my Xbox owning mate said it was brilliant and liked the look of it. If it comes to PS5 I'll be getting it
Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
@johncalmc I loved fable 1 and 2 and remake of 1 but hated 3. 3 was awful

Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
@Decimateh-xblz I can't stand 2. Didn't like the split campaign.
I loved 1, 3, reach and 4 though
Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
@Oram77 I don't like the look of it or Bethesda RPGs but I hope it comes to PS5 for those that do like them
Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
South of midnight and halo infinite are the ones I'm hoping for 🤞

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590
I've just finished The Pathless. Cracking game.
Now deciding what to play next from games I've bought in recent sales, Nobody wants to die, a short hike, tails of iron 2, cocoon & just crow things
Also jealous of anyone getting to play Donkey Kong Bananza. Looks amazing that game
Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?
Superb on PS4. Even better on PS5 (even just in back compat).
Looks stunning still too
Re: The Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Doesn't Look Good, But That's Kinda Perfect
Just you're opinion I thought the last MK film was really good and 2 looks great too

@Sir_Eos mix of both id say. They are. There for a reason besides shock
Re: 2,800+ PS5, PS4 Games Going Cheap in New PS Store Summer Sale
@SuperSilverback 100% recommended
Re: 2,800+ PS5, PS4 Games Going Cheap in New PS Store Summer Sale
@DennisReynolds you can reduce jump scares in the settings
Re: Helldivers 2 Xbox Announcement Prompts Avalanche of Spider-Man Port Begging
There not going to port single player games over. Just live service ones.
I know they did Lego horizon on switch but just can't see any other single player games being ported and Def not to xbox
Re: PS5 Action RPG KAKU: Ancient Seal Has Real Throwback Appeal
@Bluemoon2008 I like the look of this but it doesn't look as good artistically or graphically as Kena did and that's 4 years old now.
I'll likely check this out though

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Is the First Game Set for Gamescom Showcase

Re: Hands On: Chronological Mode Is a Fascinating Way to Play The Last of Us 2 Again
I was thinking of playing this when it was announced but reading this has made me realise it's better just replaying it the original way
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
Done 4 of the 5 new astro levels. I'll give the 5th level another blast later.
Tried Cyberpunk and like what I've played so far. Looks amazing too
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
@Mostik a lot less platforming in Dark Ages. It's the best of the 3 in my opinion.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
@DaveTheRave plus if they want it to feel different that mode with the close up combat looks like it could make it feel very different.
Looks stunning, art style like Tsunami is gorgeous
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
It looks stunning.
I don't agree that it's just more of the same, it's a sequel so it's not going to be radically different (and if it was people would complain about that too).
Day one purchase for me for sure
