@Czar_Khastik you mean the guy who must be the guy he posts this each week as it's always a long post with pictures within seconds of the thread being posted?
Loved the first season but felt they padded parts early on and rushed the ending.
I'm replaying the first game at the moment (PS5 remake version). It's my favourite game and has been since it came out on PS3 in 2013. It blew me away and still engrosses me every time I play it
Love astro bot but can't see how they can make a film out of it. Then again they made a movie out of the boardgame battleships so they are desperate enough for ideas
@Dodoo it was a different time. When Croc will have started development they would have believed they were creating either the first or one of the first 3D platform games. Development was done in a bubble then pre rise of the internet gaming sites kicking off.
It's the same for Bubsy 3D. As bad as that is they made it imagining it was unique and game changing. Apparently they still did till they say Mario 64 and crash. By then it was too late
@lazarus11 I thought it was just me. Found it very unfocused. Couldn't get into it and found it frustrating that have to play so much to get the character switching aspect, especially as it's so heavily advertised as a big part of the game.
@Fuzzymonkeyfunk Forspoken is a decent game. If looking for something new id recommend giving it a go. I found it's gameplay fun and even like the story especially some of the later revelations
I loved TLOU part 2. Personally in terms of story, atmosphere and impact it only gets beat by the 1st.
I think Joels death made sense not just for the plot of 2 but in terms of general mortality rules of fictional stories.
It was done in a brutal way to make even more impact and that worked perfectly.
I'll be going into the 2nd series expecting the unexpected, I don't think they will stick fully to the plot of the game and I'm looking forward to see if it's as good as series 1 was
WB movies keep scrapping finished movies as tax write off's so we shouldn't be too surprised. The whole WB brand seems to be running itself into the ground with really poor management
@Balosi Terminator is decent. It's got a decent plot, good use of the license but it's a tad basic and voice acting and NPC models booked bad at launch on PS4. It's worth £9.99 if you go on expecting a lower budget experience
@themightyant I'm not a fan of woke culture but too many gamers accuse any game that have female leads, or gay characters etc as woke. It's not the case on the vast majority of cases.
If I don't like the look of a game I just don't buy it or engage.
But these people have too much time on their hands, too little going on of substance on their lives and minds, it's sad really
My copy arrived yesterday. Never happy when you have to download it from the internet instead of copying from the disk but when it did download and I got to try it I was impressed.
@get2sammyb it's becoming a point where that's not going to be even worth saying soon I think lol.
Wonder if any 3rd party game not tied to any exclusive period sold better on series x/s than PS5.
Given most people who would have played Indiana Jones on Xbox likely took advantage of gamepass I'm betting that sells more on ps5 than it ever did on Xbox.

@Czar_Khastik I loved Kena, had or pre-ordered as it just struck a chord with me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 577
Mixing between the last of us part 1 (hooked yet again) lost records tape 2 and Nikoderiko.
But at the moment I'm not allowed on the PS5 as my 7 year old is on Astro Bot again lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 577

Yeah was wondering that too 🤣
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
Gotta wait for my birthday in early May unfortunately, really looking forward to playing it.
Re: PS5's Death Stranding 2 Will Become a Visual Novel to Get You Through Its Most Difficult Parts

Re: 6 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
Lost records tape 2 isn't available yet
Re: PS5's Worst Kept Secret Could Now Be Days Away
Sick of seeing stories on this. Seems to be on average 2 stories a week on it minimum
Re: The Last of Us Is Only Getting More and More Popular
Not watched season 2 episode one yet.
Loved the first season but felt they padded parts early on and rushed the ending.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2025?
I should read it properly (and have a better memory). I said Meh and voted for blue Prince forgetting about Lost Records 🙈🤣
I should have voted mostly happy and Lost Records as my most wanted/excited for.
I'm enjoying and being frustrated by Blue Prince in equal measures
Re: RiME Dev Tequila Works Forced to Auction Off Assets After Bankruptcy
What a shame, deadlight, Rime and Gylt were all great games. Especially Rime
Re: Play Two New PS Plus Extra Games Right Now
Started Blue Prince.
It's intriguing so far. Not done much so far. Paused on Day 3 to het the kids tea on
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2025 Announced
@Bluemoon2008 yeah I'm in agreement here
Luckily for me it's a few games I wanted.
The old adage less is more doesn't apply unfortunately
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2025 Announced
Looking forward to finishing Lost Records. Loved part 1.
Blue Prince looks interesting. I'll give that a try tomorrow
Re: Switch Exclusive Disney Illusion Island Appears to Be Coming to PS5
I played it on the switch. It looked and played great on that. Would look even better on PS5
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 575
For a nice contrast I'm on Atomfall and Croc, once I return from birding with my son and my dad
Re: Astro Bot Could Hit the Big Screen for a Movie
@naruball fair point.
Love astro bot but can't see how they can make a film out of it. Then again they made a movie out of the boardgame battleships so they are desperate enough for ideas
Re: Astro Bot Could Hit the Big Screen for a Movie
It's got no real plot and none of the characters speak though.
Re: Nintendo Copies the Astro Bot Concept, Sells You Switch 2's Tutorial
This will get changed I'm sure. Way too much. £80 digital. £90 physical. Absolute joke

Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Like switch one was to my PS4 switch 2 will be secondary console to my ps5 and imagine my wife will play it more than me overall

Re: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS5) - Cult Favourite Platformer Returns in Robust Remaster
@Zeke68 I just stuck with PS4 version as now at least can download that version on my son's PS4 for him too.
Shame it wasn't cross buy.
Re: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS5) - Cult Favourite Platformer Returns in Robust Remaster
Bought it accidentally on PS4 rather than PS5 from my phone app but doubt it'll make too much difference.
It's downloaded ready to try later
Re: Sniper Elite Dev Rebellion Records Its Biggest Launch Yet with Atomfall
I'm loving it. Rare to play a game set in England. Positively unique for one set in Cumberland (Cumbria)
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (March 2025)
@Anke I'm loving it. Just taking it slow. Exploring. Soaking the world in
Found a Last of the summer wine Easter egg earlier. Never been a fan of that show as I'm in my 70s but I recognised the gag
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (March 2025)
Not played split fiction but imagine that would be number one if I had of.
Played Shadows and got bored but loving Atomfall. Great game. That got my vote
Re: Solid PS2 Action Platformer Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy Gets Surprise PS4 Remaster, Out Now
I'll be getting this. Was one that got away for me. It came out when all I played was Pro Evo. Missed a few gems as they launched in that era
Re: Halo Series Might Not Come to PS5 in the Way You're Thinking
Is Halo 4 considered the ugly duckling? I remember getting a cheap 360 in about 2013 (about my 4th one all in all) and I loved Halo 4.

Re: Almost All the UK's Boxed Copies of Assassin's Creed Shadows Sold on PS5 Last Week
Really enjoying Atomfall. Wasn't on my radar as not usually into the genre but it's really grabbed me
Re: These 9+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out This Week (31st-6th April)
@Member_the_game I may check it out. Never got the hang of sensible soccer as a kid but would give it a try now.
Was obsessed with the management side of the first sensible word of soccer on the Amiga but it had a bug that made you always go bankrupt 😂
Re: Analyst Firm Predicts Some Pretty Unimpressive Sales Numbers for Xbox Ports on PS5
I bought Hi-fi Rush as fancied a game like that even (if wasn't big fan of rhythm aspect of it)
I'll be getting Indie for my birthday and may get Forza when it's down in price
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574
@lazarus11 I started Atomfall yesterday and had no technical issues luckily and it's grabbed me.
Shadows looked amazing but just felt like a jumble to me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574
@SystemAddict I couldn't make sense of that 😂🙈
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574
@lazarus11 I thought it was just me. Found it very unfocused. Couldn't get into it and found it frustrating that have to play so much to get the character switching aspect, especially as it's so heavily advertised as a big part of the game.
I returned it to CEX for a full refund.
Re: These 9+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (31st-6th April)
Can't wait for Croc

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574
Atomfall for me. Only early days in it (less than an hour so far) but loving it so far. Great atmosphere. Very intriguing.
I'm from Cumbria too so it's good to see a game set in the area under its old name
Re: Reaction: Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics
It's not just it's Eastern IP.
Resistance, killzone and infamous remain dormant for 11 years plus each.
If it's just going to be Japan Studio games Ape Escape would be one I want most though

Re: No Platinum Trophy in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster's Meagre PS5 Trophy List
Makes no difference to me. Was a day one purchase regardless
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Hideout Frame Rate Is a Bug, Set to Be Fixed in Major Update
@Anke that's what digital foundry had said in their review.
I'm playing in quality mode for once as wanted to see all the bells and whistles. Feels good in quality mode
Re: Massive PS Store Spring Sale Brings a Crazy 4,500+ PS5, PS4 Game Deals

Can't wait to finish work and play some more

Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft
@Boxmonkey it says in the UK so I can definitely believe it.
I know no-one who ever plays monster hunter but know loads who play AC games so it makes perfect sense to me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 573
My copy of Shadows didn't arrive on Saturday as I hoped. Should arrive tomorrow.
For those playing what modes you gone for, performance, balanced or quality?
And any playing using cannon mode?
I'm thinking of playing quality mode with cannon mode on
