@LiamCroft I really do need a backlog, I end up finishing everything in its first week.

Annoyed this wasn't available at launch as surely most people have finished/experienced it by now?

Looking forward to this next week, appears to be a decent trophy list too.

Lego, racing, and Roxette?
Yep, I'm in.

Call me jaded but surely we're over the hump with these games now?

I wonder how long it takes to earn a diamond ranked player and what the odds are?

I hope they keep the combat style, that's what made Dying Light for me.

Got to hand it to them that is a brilliant trailer.

Can you transmog the dog as a puppy and have him as a beast in battle? Now that would be cool.

I've just finished the PS4 version and jumped straight into PS5 version and oh wow is it horrible.
It's fine indoors, and looking down at the ground, but anything else in the open world it's in the teens.
Mind you the quicker load screens make up for it.

Oh boy did the memories come flooding back!
Day one purchase for sure.

This is just how I remember the original Dying Light, one of my favourite games of all time.
I am so excited for this one.

I still think that this is the best Assassin's Creed.

Higher prices?
Didn't Sony introduce £70 games first?

And it'll still have the same cars as GT6.

Doesn't this begin to make people not spend, or even start in the first place, with a live service game for fear of it being shut down?
The Netflix Effect is happening to live service games.

These companies really should think of a date and then just add three months.

@AdamNovice I would enjoy the c**p out of a game like that, Riders Republic was a huge laugh.

YES! Fully hyped for this one now.
Got to be one of the best games on the horizon now (I even impressed myself with that pun).

I gave it a 4 as it just wasn't fun and that parkour was infuriating.
I did quite enjoy the cuff chat though, I thought he was quite funny, which puts me in a minority it seems.

Very much looking forward to this, although it doesn’t sound like they are getting rid of the boats and planes though which is a disappointment.

156hrs of gameplay so far for me, but to be honest there's about 15hrs of gameplay in it. It's one hell of a grind for a platinum.
One thing it desperately needs is more space/biomes so that's good. I just hope they're attached ones rather than the teleport ones.

I've been playing it this weekend, wow it's bad.
I finished the main story and now just clearing up the collectibles. I want it to be over.
Top tip: swap R2 with R1 and L2 with L1, your trigger finger will thank me.

It's actually a pretty fun game.

@PenguinLtd it really got super-obvious after a while didn't it? You could just see the next gap approaching from afar and know exactly what was on the other side.

@carlos82 judging from your avatar we probably like similar games too

@Ah-Void I think I played about 70 games this year, I thought Need for Speed Unbound was a highlight, Dying Light 2 was good, Plague Tale was too, as was WRC Generations. I could name many more, all more fun and more entertaining for me.
Each to their own remember.

I just didn't think it was that good, too much talking, too much squeezing into the next arena, and too many daft puzzles.
Feel free to hate me but there were better games this year.
Oh and happy new year x

Please have more trophies.

Done, I hope it all helps, and thanks for reminding me I'm getting closer to the bottom button of that "How old are you" question.
Some strange ones in there, especially the car one, several popular styles of car aren't even listed.

@IOI ahh yes, get in the boat, look at map, wrong beach, look at map, back in boat

Finally platinumed it today, those final fights for 100% were quite amusing as was the crucible but the rest of it was pretty boring.

It does depend on whether the playlists are full leaderboards or just a few select people. Either way probably pretty easy eventually.

@Nexozi true but some of us have memory issues so it's pointless, I can't remember very well so I'm sitting through something for nothing.

It's ok, it's no 10 but I gave it a good 7.
Unskippable cutscenes though, dear heavens.

This just makes me wish I lived near a KFC.

I'm sort of looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.

Gutted. Two great franchises. Well, apart from PC3, that was garbage.
Why buy racing developers if you aren't going to make racers?

Do you remember when racing games partnered with car companies? Us oldies remember.

Snap, only four for me too.
Now I'm seeing the potential for a Need for Speed for us oldies.

I wanna be a pirate!

Two weeks early I can understand his frustration but the bit about "having just an installer on the physical disc" is just dumb.

A solid 7 from me, I didn't really see what all the negativity was about.
I found the traversal fun and the world looked really good.
Yes it wasn't 60fps but you did get used to it after a few minutes.

Almost as good as the first one but the length was off for me, it just lasted a tad too long.
The first one felt a more believable world too.
Still brilliant and I hope they make more.

Team 60fps.

Thanks @Westernwolf4 I'm sure it'll plop through the letterbox tomorrow, fingers crossed.
I'm 50/50 on physical/digital these days, but the fact that physical prices on day one releases are so much cheaper is worth the risk to me. Saying that, base.com where I order from usually gets the games to my door before release so it's just a blip this time.
I hope you get to enjoy it too.

Postal strikes means mine has been sitting in a sack somewhere for the past few days. No idea where.

Yeah, why not, I enjoy a decent job simulator.

We were way off in that poll weren't we?
£210 is insanity, not a chance they sell many of these.

It was good but painfully short for the amount of time it must've taken to create. Definitely could've done with more large puzzles like the bridges.
