Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 330

Playing nothing. Finished TLOU2 Monday night /Tuesday morning and promised myself a week off. I'm too old to be binging 24 hours of gaming over a weekend.

The game left me completely emotionally drained. Can't get it out of my head though. Might have to dive straight back in after some reflection.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Wants to See 15 Hour AAA Titles Return

When compared to other forms of entertainment; £10 for a trip to the cinema, £15 for a bluray, £25 for a football ticket, £40+ for a music concert, spending £50 on a 15 hour game seems like a bargain.

I'd rather get a 10 hour long Uncharted sequel every 3 year, than a 25 hours one 5 years apart.

I too struggle through longer games, I've got Control, Spiderman, God of War and HZD unfinished because they seem to drag quite a bit.

That said, I did just complete TLOU2 in a weekend. Worth every penny.

I bought a Ps4, my first games console since the n64, to play this game after reading about it. (I'm 36).

4 years and 10 playthroughs later, I platinum'd this past weekend. Nothing else I've played comes close. Though my teenager would say otherwise.

Not since I was queuing for a midnight screening of Fellowship of the Ring have I been this excited and nervous prior to a release date.

Re: Rumour: Death Stranding's Release Date May Have Leaked

@Callmegil no reason for them to be, purely my own thinking. I've been working on the assumption, that 'if' tlou2 was to release in 2019, then it'd be November, with DS now 99% confirmed to have that date, that almost guarantees tlou is a 2020 release.

I'd love to be wrong, but...

Re: Review: Beast Quest (PS4)

I'm old enough to have read 36 of these books to my kid, who is now old enough to think this game is beneath him.

A shame it's poo, as the source material (which is also not great) has potential.
