If they don't want people believing the rumours (which I think are made up) they should have maybe released the game a bit earlier or later just to avoid this
Another example of people being sheep and having minds made up for them in advance on my mind.
Like Forspoken too but feel the order was a cut above Forspoken but it's another with a unfair reputation not helped by many who never actually played it ripping it apart
I'm still enjoying series 2. As I try to do with all adaptations I view it as an alternate take in the story and that helps a bit but I keep saying to my wife (who hasn't played the games) 'the game did that better ' I preferred how that happened in the game', 'that never happened' etc.
I think it's testament to how good the games were that a high budget HBO series can't hold a candle to the games
I benefited from several £5 vouchers from it, I'll be disappointed to see it go. Hope they do replace it and if they do get it integrated on to the consoles
@mac_da_man I was disappointed with lost records. Enjoyed part 1 but not part 2. Felt they rushed the 2nd half of the story. It was way better than the latest life is strange but that wasn't a high bar.
Sounds like my experience of it on PS4 was like a few others.
It was a good game, really good in parts but it dragged on. I thought I was at the end and I still had a few hours left. I was burned out and didn't finish it
@DennisReynolds I agree that now MS does need multi format versions of its games but I think they would still need to if gamepass didn't exist.
I think if MS didn't have gamepass the gap between PS5 and Series X and S sales would be wider as gamepass is a big selling point. Some people buy Xboxes and don't buy any games for it outside of gamepass as they don't need to.
Without gamepass I think MS would have had to go multi format as they would be even worse off.
I imagine Indy may have had a high attach rate without gamepass, same for Halo infinite etc.
My house is deafening with the kids sometimes so blue Prince was good to bang on when wanted to play something and didn't have to worry about missing important dialogue

Wolf among us 2 won't be out this year. It's been radio silence for ages
Re: High on Life 2 Brings Another Dose of FPS Madness to PS5 This Winter
I liked the first one. I'll get this when it's on a sale around Christmas
Re: Third Plague Tale Game Leaks Ahead of Xbox Show, Out for PS5 in 2026
It sounds and looks like it'll be a spin off rather than a direct follow up.
I like both the first 2 but I prefer 1 to 2. 2 looked amazing though
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 584
@Bentleyma love that game. So good
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 584
Very jealous of those who have the switch 2 looks amazing.
I'm hoping my Doom the dark ages copy arrives today if not I'll plod on with the very fun ride on Revenge of the savage planet

Re: Game of the Month: DOOM: The Dark Ages (May 2025)
I didn't vote as hadn't played any yet. (Same as with April).
Got Indy in May and loved it and my copy of Doom should arrive on next few days to keep up the cycle of getting the game the next month 🤣
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 583
On Thursday I finished the absolute amazing Indiana Jones and the great circle. I absolutely loved it. So glad it came to PS5 and I didn't miss out.
Started Revenge of the savage planet and finding that a fun blast so far. May also give Another Crab's treasure a try too
Re: First Bonus PS Plus Extra Game from Days of Play Available Now on PS5
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare maybe they purposefully held games back from the May line up to do this. Wouldn't put it past them.
I won't moan though get to try a game I've almost bought a few times
Re: First Bonus PS Plus Extra Game from Days of Play Available Now on PS5
Been intrigued by this so I'll give it a go
Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
@MrPeanutbutterz that's you're opinion.
I feel it was a decent game that many dismissed without actually playing it
Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
I genuinely enjoyed the order.
Another example of people being sheep and having minds made up for them in advance on my mind.
Like Forspoken too but feel the order was a cut above Forspoken but it's another with a unfair reputation not helped by many who never actually played it ripping it apart
Re: PS Plus Subscription Sale Takes 33% Off, But There's a Big Catch
Seems they punish those already on the higher tiers. Poor customer that
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2025 Announced
Alone in the dark isn't bad. I already own it digitally but it's worth a play though. Just be ready for jank and tech issues.

Re: These 27+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (26th-1st June)
Illusion island is a fun 2d platform game. I played it on the switch.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give DOOM: The Dark Ages?
Wonder if it's the same pr*ck giving every game a 1. Likely as he's only packing a 1 himself if you get what I mean? 🤣
Re: Analytics Firm Predicts Paltry Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5
I'll hold on for a bit. If it's true I see the PS5 version being under £30 by July (physical)
Re: Atomfall Sequel in Talks After 'Immediately Profitable' Launch, Says Rebellion
I really enjoyed Atomfall. Took a gamble on it and glad I did as couldn't put it down once I started
Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?
I really enjoyed it. Not the biggest RPG fan but I finished this.
Re: These 17+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (19th-25th May)
@Northern_munkey I had a go on the demo but didn't like the forging part and as that is going to be a key part of the game it's likely not for me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 581
I'm still in Indy, loving it. Taking my time doing field work and finding secrets. Really glad it came to PS5
Re: 10 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2025 Announced
I don't usually moan about plus but it's been really poor lately
Re: Video: DOOM Gameplay Comparison Shows Decades of Evolution
And here I thought I was in the minority not enjoying Eternal.
I felt it was too chaotic and over obsessed with traversal instead of just killing and surviving
Re: Elusive PS5 Game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Aiming for Release in 2026
Most unsurprising news ever. Hope they do show something off soon otherwise I'll be very skeptical about it ever materialising
Re: One of This Month's Most Promising PS5 Games Will Get a Demo
I like the look of this so I'll try the demo and see if it's worth buying
Re: Just Like the Game, The Last of Us 2's TV Adaptation Is Getting Review Bombed
The whole practice of review bombing is sad and pathetic.
If it is a homophobia issue it's ridiculous, especially as it's not like Ellie was made gay for the 2nd series/game she always was.
Re: Mini Review: Captain Blood (PS5) - PS2-Era Hack and Slasher Is a Total Shipwreck
Had a quick blast od the demo and found it fun
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 580
@UltimateOtaku91 I like the look of the midnight walk. May have to check it out down the line

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 580
Finally got Indian Jones. Really enjoying what I've played so far.
Also started Zelda echoes of wisdom last week so may have a blast on that too
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Ditches Open World for Linear, Story-Based Gameplay on PS5
I'm very up for this. Not every game needs to be open world. I like a more focused linear experience

Re: Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Adds Almost One Million PS5 Players in Just a Few Days
I'm not a big racing game fan but loved horizon 2 on Xbox one when I had one (briefly). I'll be getting this at some point

@Bramble something relaxing and daft that the kids can also enjoy too

Depending on price may get this
Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
Sounds like my experience of it on PS4 was like a few others.
It was a good game, really good in parts but it dragged on. I thought I was at the end and I still had a few hours left. I was burned out and didn't finish it
Re: PS Plus Essential Game for May 2025 Possibly Leaked Early
Id be very happy with this if it's true
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
No idea what I'll be playing. In a gaming lull awaiting getting Indy for my birthday

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 577
@somnambulance speedy recovery mate. Hope hearing returns soon enough.
My house is deafening with the kids sometimes so blue Prince was good to bang on when wanted to play something and didn't have to worry about missing important dialogue
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 577
@somnambulance hope you feel better soon.
I've been having blasts on Blue Prince but getting frustrated with it. The random nature seems to punish more than reward
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 577
@Odium south of midnight looks like my sort of game. Hopefully it will come to PS5
