@crazykcarter They look sweet, I was considering one but the bucket seats and look of the Corolla is just boss. So comfy. Interior is like someone designed a car for me. Loads of front space and hardly any for my Xbox playing kids. Minimal but classy. Win win. I've gone for obsidian blue rather than the bi tone and can't wait to see it! Currently in an 11 plate Yaris after my work car scheme became stupid expensive, it's embarrassing but knowing I can run it into the ground for 2 months is awesome. Haven't been this excited since Sonic Mania was announced.
@zekepliskin Godfall is great, however that comes with a few massive stipulations. Do you want great melee combat, sweet graphics and some amazing arenas to battle in with a lot of grinding? For me that's a yes and love it.
The story is weak (the lore is pretty fun though), you do the same stuff all the time, there's no real meta and it's there is an easy option which no one should ever pick, like every reviewer seems to have.
In fact that last point is why Souls is held in high regard, putting an easy option in it would garner a 5/10. Do not pick easy.
@The_New_Butler it's not just MS I'm having a go at here. Although they are pushing it way more than Sony. It's the way gaming is going in general. It will be an all digital future similar to the music industry. I would prefer it never went that route. Gaming is cheap anyway. The only thing going all digital is doing is giving us more homogenised games and no outlets to purchase games from or to trade them in with. So inevitably we will all be on subs especially big gamers like you and me compared to a Cod / FIFA player.
I honestly don't mind paying money for a good service but I have been getting that for 35 years since I could game. Playing thousands of games. I've never been bankrupted because of gaming. That could change if you have 5-6 subs on monthly Direct debit.
Ubisoft, Square, Take 2 and all the third parties will end up with services and that will just mean more and more exclusivity. Or rather more and differing subs with even more microtransactions.
It's all speculation of course but I was bemoaning Mass Effect 3s micros and could forsee where we are now. It will happen and all the gaming outlets like Game will close. Then you will have to sub and the subs price will go up.
@The_New_Butler Both MS office and Xbox gamepass are Microsoft thing as. It's not the end of the world if gamepass becomes the defacto way we consume games, Its that I didn't have an issue with gold/ps plus (approx £5 a month) and buying the games I want retail and trading them when done. Occasionally dipping into digital sales. If we end up paying £20-£25 a month, well yes I will buy less games for sure and the ones I own won't necessarily be what I want to play.
Here is an examples. I bought judgement for £25 and once I'm done will trade it for maybe £15. It cost me a tenner for a game over the next 2-3 months as I play these games slowly. To do it over Xbox will cost what £30 now and maybe £75 in the future? That's a worse deal. Also my local gameshops will close down.
Digital is the future but as a gamer who spends a fraction on my hobby than I've ever spent on music production, cars, houses and kids I don't want everything on tick. It's nice to own things and games are cheap.
@The_New_Butler I don't actually mind Microsoft per say. I use Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint and gamed on the Xbox and 360. My big issue is their subscription model. Office is a rip off and that's exactly the line gamepass will eventually follow. Office is great, but not worth £100+ for every pc user in my office. I've considered going all in with Linux but we have massive compatibility issues as everyone else uses office.
For instance you now have pay mechanics in solitaire which has always been free. It's just dirty and unnecessary. The sub method makes sense to a company but it will also cut off a significant amount of jobs in the retail space - which I still enjoy going to. And it's not as if gaming has been Uber expensive to start with. Buy a game you want - finish it - trade it in for 5/8 of the price rinse and repeat. My gaming hobby probably costs £400 a year or so all in and I play all the games I want to play, gamepass will be great for a couple of months and then will become similar to ps now which I haven't touched for months.
Since PES 2-6 the series went downhill. The Renaissance was pes 17-18, it wasn't quite as good but really shone through the passing and fluid strategy changes. 19 was a misstep and now free to play. Wow konami you really are a bunch of Muppets.
I've never seen so much praise for a subscription service which will end up costing £20-£25 per month. With games rammed with microtransactions. And you need a £150 additional controller as the Xbox X included controller is rubbish.
I've been living this Microsoft nightmare due to extortionate prices of Windows and I can see the same crap being applied to games. Long live Sony. Long live physical games and shops.
People can and should do what they want within the law. The IP will stay with whoever acquires the company and it's not just higher ups who make the games but whole teams.
I started godfall tonight and it's..... Actually my cup of tea. No idea why it's got such a bad rep, it's a 3rd person diablo with nods to GoW and the lore is alright imo. Different to anything I've played before which is also pretty cool.
I understand why others may not like it, but it's not 'trash'.
My wife fortunately bought me a PS5. I've played the awesome Astrobot and have nothing else to play. Not into souls games, not my cup of tea and Ratchet and Clank is probably my least favourite ongoing franchise - I dislike the humour and gameplay. I'm here for new experiences like Resogun, infamous SS, the Order and Driveclub - which we got year 1 with PS4! Also exciting ongoing news like P5, uncharted 4 and MGS.
The current PS4 games are obviously great but I don't understand the desperation to own a 5 when it's the exact same experience as a PS4 pro bar Astrobot and dark souls. I'm very disappointed with this introductory salvo, and should have waited.
That said TLOU 2, Dreams and Ghost of Tsushima launched last year so I will give Sony a bye for now. Hopefully in 12 months time the future games from all parties will become clear.
@rpg2000 here here. Although I would like the show 21 ROFL. I play anything and everything but it seems to me the PushSquare crowd want 3rd person games and that's it - I like them too but we all need a bit of variety.
@ThePizzaMule Ok so thanks for saying my comment was BS. I've had a multitude of months were I already have the games. I already have squadrons as an example.
We are getting 2 brand new games and it's all bad news? You haven't tried either of them - so at the very least you get a new experience.
@ViolentEntity Would they though? Or would they respin positive marketing towards safe online gaming?
One thing that's often overlooked. I have PSPlus for 6 years, and about 150 games. Working out at £1.80 per game. Even if VF5 remake isn't the bee's knees it's still well worth £1.80.
I'm completely lost with people's opinions. VF5 remake is a must play, squadrons which I've just bought is good and operation tango looks interesting.
36% of people are saying it's poor or straight bad. Hating this attitude and although everyone has a right of an opinion, I can forsee free games being scrapped on plus as it's all negative. Then everyone will be forced onto a £15 a month sub for now and internet access.
@Mysterio dogfight, or dog fight, is an aerial battle between fighter aircraft conducted at close range. Dogfighting first occurred in Mexico in 1913, shortly after the invention of the airplane. Until at least 1992, it was a component in every major war, despite beliefs after World War II that increasingly greater speeds and longer-range weapons would make dogfighting obsolete.
@AgentGuapo @NemesisSam30 I can cut corners but my memory isn't great, I've done everything thus far on my Todd to 277 as it stands now! But yeah my memory I always forget the sequence. Hopefully sometime soon I will get the gold!
@render I finally cracked 275 orbs to unlock the finale. It's not so bad truth be told. As for the knitted knights last trial, it's the worst thing ever. Dark Souls is way easier.
Wreckfest gives a terrible introduction, kind of like seeing you future wife for the first time in a club with sick all over her dress. As you progress the tracks and cars get better and better.
@Jimmer-jammer wealth isn't evil per say. But when Tramps line the streets and kids go hungry then capitalism doesn't work for everyone. I work in marketing and can and do spin stuff to make money. £70 is too much. Especially during a pandemic and gaming is a big part of all our culture's. (Although you can find the games cheaper generally)
Why are people up in here saying price increased are okay? Surely that's self defeating unless you work for the company hiking prices. That's my take anyway. When my local pub increase prices I don't cheer the landlord I ask why.
@get2sammyb it's actually the polar opposite from needing to be clever.
it's like gambling machines in pubs. idiots from the bottom classes in school throw all their dole money in as they know how to beat the system (yeah right). Sensible people don't pay them any attention.
It's designed for the idiots in school. We can all see it stupid from the get go. We don't want to learn this mundane process. They will.
@Jayofmaya so you can import audio and attach attach it to keys in the piano roll. So in the track above both the club piano sound and Detroit house organ are imported and then written in a sequencer. They aren't samples like the vocals which are by my friend Prince Tahra.
With each instrument you have a tweak file which covers 9 main types of tweak, with an unlimited amount of options thereafter. It's so underrated.
@GamingFan4Lyf yes it can, my friend made a music video to my song midnight creators (go check it out it was highlighted by MM a few weeks ago). He made that on the the PS5. But when I noticed a few bugs I went into edit mode and the whole thing was like ! ! ! As the PS4 couldn't handle it. So we had to downscale it somewhat, it's still boss though.
