Surely once it reaches a true critical mass we have to start getting the right to return/trade/sell? Until this happens digital will always be a rip off, and I’ll continue to wait until a game is £25 or bellow before buying it.

I just learnt that there is a bloody invincibility mode available from the start, and it doesn’t even lock off trophy challenges. Can anyone confirm? This would be annoying (and yes, I know I can theoretically ignore it, before anyone makes that comment).

@StrickenBiged
Not sure I’d trust my connection long enough for a bullet hell game, and I love my portal.

Looks like a game I’d happily spend that kind of money on, but also a game where I can wait for a sale, which it inevitably will get after a couple of months…

Phenomenal kit that’s the highlight of the generation. So many games that make it worth the outlay. Will be incredibly sad if there’s no PSVR3. Will likely go PC at that point.

Put it in VR and I’m in. Afraid I just can’t go back now.

@Scottyy
Exactly. Rinse and repeat with randoms is not my style, but the gunplay and visuals look good so I’d certainly try it if there was proper single player narrative and progression involved.

@Dubplant
That’s the thing, the games are shorter yes, but so much cheaper. Much better bang for your buck over most flat games.

Slightly helpful I guess. Much, much better would be to show its lowest ever price.

So much better than its flat screen sequel. VR elevates the game to something majestic. And yes, a very fun platinum.

She doesn’t know anything about gaming or the gaming community. Don’t expect social media messaging from her to make sense for now.

Coming from core ai, in this also a massive demotion?

Couldn’t resist Clair Obscur an any longer. Such a great game! I thought it might be overhyped, but not a bit of it.

The hope is that these are kids who, otherwise, would never have gotten into any games, and when they grow up they get into proper gaming, thus increasing the gaming player base.
It may be a faint hope, but time will tell if this social hangout rubbish is a good or bad thing for the existence of the real gaming industry.

Lots of reasons “to keep your PSVR2” but, given this site’s ever incomplete list of upcoming releases, it’s clear they just don’t bother finding out about them.

Ps premium is £80.39 for a year. I’d probably pay up to a hundred before I consider dropping it. Just looking at what I’ve payed, plus the ability to stream everything to the Portal, it’s decent value.

Hopefully Sony looks to get more money from existing gamers by releasing more great games rather than more live service stuff, but I doubt it.

@Flaming_Kaiser
That may all be true. I don’t see how it’s relevant to anything though.

And this is why the PS5 extreme throughput advantage hasn’t yet been put to good use despite its huge potential to reduce the amount that needs to be rendered at once.

These games should always be in VR now; superior to the original tech, whereas this is inferior.

Definitely retain them. I’ve got so many games to play I can quite easily just skip these remakes out of principle if they start treating me with such disrespect.

If it’s not worth the money to port it for a small user base then they won’t…

Sorry, but no. Playing though a campaign story with someone, such as I’m currently doing with Split Fiction which I’m playing with the wife, is completely different to just having access to a challenge mode. Regardless of whether this is from the start or after finishing the game. If this was not clear at time of purchase then they should refund.

I do like the films. Hopefully this isn’t like John wick 2, where he seems to have an 8bit moveset, and just rolls on the ground 90% of the action run time doing the same thing over and over.

Great. I can’t remember where I got, but I played it a good couple of dozen hours. Great game, god awful combat. I do remember the menus being laggy, hopefully this helps.

@Vipor007
I loved the original. Played it so much in the arcades and then refined my runs on PS1. It can’t work with a reticule though. The only tech that can do this game justice and better the original is VR, and Sony sadly don’t seem interested.

Good, but no VR sadly. Wasn’t expecting John Wick, could be cool. And the jrpg looked good. Getting excited for Saros as well, I like me a roguelike.

Also really happy about having the good GoW back! Hope it isn’t re-imagined for modern “sensibilities”

Any additional trophy challenges?

Still planing to pick this up at some point when on heavy sale. Hopefully they would have fixed some of the bugs if they haven’t already.

How can they massacre one of the greatest gaming franchises of all time? Shame on them.

Neva looks great. Had enough of Spider-Man after platting the first, then getting about 90mims into MM. Can’t really play racers outside of.VR anymore, I’ve been spoiled.

Catch up? Left behind? I’m confused, is this going to be some type of live service focused game?

Got split fiction to play with the wife. We’ll see how she likes it.

Would look phenomenal in VR.

@Don_Corleone
lol, you can’t just make up facts, sorry.
But also, I’ve played maybe 3 games that aren’t possible on PS4 this gen, outside of VR, so if PS6 doesn’t have VR before 2030, I’d be perfectly happy playing through my backlog and newer games maybe slightly worse.

Not being funny, but if there’s a game that says “you’ll want to play on PS5 Pro”, I’ll just get it for PS6

This game sounds right up my street…except it’s live service. So no. It’s ruined.

@Northern_munkey
Not really. Many genres tend to have much more variety in their gameplay mechanics, environments, they have more in depth narratives and character progression…

Then afterwards you do the same thing all over again, just like every other game of its type.

Nothing for me this month.

Glad I waited. Hope there’s new trophies

@TrollOfWar
I imagine ai will take care of that soon, thankfully.

Anyone who has premium and doesn’t live alone should have a portal.

I’m thinking that people who don’t see what the fuss is about just honestly think the image on the left is from the remake. It’s the natural assumption.

Yakuza is my favourite gaming series of all time, and I’m sad to see what is being done in terms of “adjusting” the story and, well, these graphical changes are awful

Loved Fable, and this looks like a true successor. Instantly near the top of my most anticipated list.

I just meant with the games I play. For context, these are the last 10 in order:

Darkest Dungeon 2
Octopath Traveler
Core Keeper
Halls of Torment
Dyschronia
Hades
The 7th Guest
Monster Trains 2
Unicorn Overlord

Will play darkest dungeon 2 a bit later. Have the others I’m interested in, but one a month is still good value.

Somewhat annoyed that I have to wait for all the new updates before playing it, but I know from experience I will not go back to a finished game months later for this type of content.

It was rough, especially after coming from the previous games in new engines, and certainly had issues that impacted things like the minigames. Was incredibly fun still, even getting the plat which was impacted by some of these issues, but a remake was needed. And, yes, the blocking was annoying early game so no issue with them changing that. However, they should never, ever, change the story and remove the old one. I’m not impressed with that aspect of some of the newest remakes.

Didn’t bother with the pro. Looking at the games I play it would have made no difference generally.

She doesn’t have the look at all unfortunately. Glad they’ve gone back to the old style though.
Hard to beat Jolie as a physical presence, but they could have at least tried.
