I love trophies. I love looking down the list and seeing a bunch of games in a row with 100% and shiny platinum achieved. I also wish they didn't exist.
@lolwhatno I didn't find shooting to be abysmal! Weapons can be upgraded and I played most of it focussing on shotgun and stealth attacks with a wrench which worked fine. What bothered me was that cleared areas will respawn enemies, and as ammo can be fairly scarce then I found it made more sense to run for it and save ammo rather than engage enemies when backtracking through some sections.
As I said though, I did enjoy it overall and was amused that it had been left on the shelf for so long as I played stuff I enjoyed less!
@lolwhatno
Yes it's cool.
I ignored it in backlog for long time but really enjoyed it when I got round to it.
Quite a lot of backtracking but if you're into FPS with sci-fi/horror vibe then totally worth a look
Can't speak for everyone but for me personally just not all that interested in online competitive multi-player. For friends who are, well they already have online mp games they're into and playing. And yeah, because EA.
Well in the spirit of the season I'll be playing: Slayaway Camp: Butchers Cut. Just finished 4th movie - will probably get round to the next couple. Death Road to Canada. Try see how far I can get, probably not too far before the zombie hordes descend. Darkest Dungeon. Only just started but beginning to learn it's intricacies. And maybe get started in the Darkwood if I find the time.
Happy gaming, have a good weekend and a haunting halloween for anyone into that kind of thing.
Well if the persistence does work without VR then that's me happy -looks right up my street. May try the dodge ball but mp not really my thing, and think I may have played the Amalur rpg game many years back but may give it another go... probably not though.
@Originut @kyleforrester87
I like the typo spoopy.
I may adopt it and start using it to describe anything scary, partly to confuse and partly to see if it catches on
Also Slayaway Camp for less than three quid...I'm in!
Fair Warning - Warframe may well take over your life! Don't think I played much else for first year or two of my ps4 ownership... No idea how it has evolved since - don't want to know.
They should call it EA rip off micro-transaction engine and would probably still be number one in games chart over xmas. And people would still call it FIFA regardless so it doesn't really matter.
Haven't played one in years after getting too addicted to ultimate team one year so doesn't bother me what is called.
Sadly I already own all of the stuff that I would want from this one. But to repeat others above, check out hotshot racing at that price, enough buyers may even make the online worthwhile. Also ultratron. It's like a crappy robotron remake. But even a crappy robotron is better than many games imo.
Continuing my task of going back to the games I started then ignored/neglected or forgot about. So: Laser League: have a few games - mainly against AI opponents coz don't think anybody else in the world plays this anymore. Sound Shapes: last few death mode stages - Damn these are frustrating! Dead Nation: continuing playthrough on Grim. Bioshock Remastered: Maybe start collectable run. ...and hopefully some more Zombie Army Trilogy if my mate Dodge turns up online.
Despite the overwhelmingly negative reviews I will probably download and have a run through the wrestling, purely to see if I can unlock Rowdy Roddy Piper and Bret the Hitman Hart and other icons from my nostalgia fogged brain! As for CoD, no just no. I have so many of these from Sony over the past couple of years that I will never play. And, as @naruball already mentions, can't play the only one I would actually be interested in coz no PS5s round here
I'm gonna be continuing with Hellblade & Hollow Knight. Occasionally having a crack at Dead Cells and dog fights on SW Squadrons - multiplayer not usually my thing but had a few enjoyable attempts so far this week.
Oh, and hopefully watching it come a little closer to home, COME ON ENGLAND
This weekend I will be mostly playing: Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice & Hollow Knight with occasional runs on Dead Cells. And watching the footie knockout stages and the F1. Happy gaming and have a good weekend all.
So it's good then? Yay. Love the series so would've probably picked it up regardless but now super hyped. This may be the reason I decide to track down a PS5. Thanks for the review

Weird that I was having very similar thoughts?
...except I was thinking Jason Vorhees mask and machetes.

I played it last year I think and loved just about everything about it. Made sense why it is held in such widely held high regards.

Oh.
Well.
Guess it's the thought that counts.
I didn't want the games from the previous rumour. I don't want these more.
A good month to plug away at the never ending backlog I suppose
