@kyleforrester87 Dude! Is it time to invest in a walker? Maybe a power wheelchair? Continually falling like this is not a sustainable lifestyle. Break a thumb and ... all you’ll be able to play is VR.

@Th3solution yeah I'm just gunna stay indoors until July. Mind you I'll probably just get hit by lightening or something then anyway.

@kyleforrester87 No, he was just SLEEPING!!!

@Octane

The PS4 isn’t excused from criticism. People are allowed to be disappointed.

@Octane pretty sure that is copyrighted over at NL

What’s there to be disappointed about?

The PS4 is the greatest console ever made.
Anyone that disagrees with me is a troll. /s

I agree - all my girlfriends have ultimately been disappointed. It's fine!

I'm off to see Blade Runner at Secret Cinema next month. My name is Nathaniel Woodville. I'm a scavenger. Need to get my outfit sorted. Clear umbrella with a neon light is a given. Can't wait to get my role play on.

"You are the citizens of nowhere - part of the street movement living in the depths of the city. Your heart lies in reimagining the world through art and spirituality. You are the dreamers, the rockers, the Hare Krishnas and new wave nuns. You thrive on poetry, invention, activism and the spirit of punk. You see humanity in everyone. You operate at night in groups. You have no fixed abode. Your objective is to unite this broken city in the spirit of expression and communion."

@kyleforrester87 Bin bags and fairy lights. Costume sorted.

Sounds awesome!

@Rudy_Manchego and some goggles of course. Apparently I need to bring bottle caps and family photographs too.

@kyleforrester87 Just make sure the pictures are enhanced as much as possible and are of a pregnant spider.

@KratosMD Thats cos your not playing video games. Withdrawal symptoms.

In all seriousness hope ya okay dude.

I don't like Eurogamer's new design.

@KratosMD I hope everything comes out okay on your exam! Enjoy some well deserved gaming as a way to cleanse your brain of all that academia.

@Wesker It's rather slow - but I'm my work PC, which uses a very, very old version of Chrome that I can't update. So after being on the site for more than 30 seconds I get a full screen WoT advert that I can't dismiss!

One common criticism I’ve seen thrown around the web is how ‘generic’ GOW looks & how Sony’s first party line up is all turning into TLOU clones.

I kind of get it, but at the same time it’s not like Sony are just pumping these out.
Third person, cinematic, story driven single player game is what I think of when I think ‘Sony First Party’.
Is that a bad thing?

@KratosMD Yeah me neither. I do think Nintendo have done a good job on diversifying their portfolio as of late, but they’ll always be best known for their colourful platformers.

I do hope Japan Studio are cooking up something different.
Would love to see a big budget blockbuster JRPG from them for the PS5 launch.

I guess it could be argued but then, I would argue, that is sort of the in vogue game style at the moment. How many single player games have been third person story driven games? Evil Within, Assasins Creed, Quantum Break, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy XV, Mass Effect Andromeda, Ghost Recon etc, Dark Souls 3. It was the same back in the last gen when every game was an FPS shooter - COD, Medal of Honour, Bioshock, Killzone, Resistance etc.

At the same time Sony have a fair few exclusives this gen that aren't third person. I think it is more of a trend - adult story driven games are drawing inspiration from other games.

So, I was on YouTube one day after midnight, and found this crazy J-pop song and video. Crazier yet, it says it’ll be showed at the 2020 Olympics. I am very excited for that if it’s true, which given it’s from a bands official channe, it very well could be. I don’t think the world is ready, but I might watch those Olympics jut to see when this is shown and what the worlds reaction is.
