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
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.
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.
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.
These effects are definitely splitting the audience for this one, it might even bring in a whole new one.
The more people playing the more chance of updates and new vehicles.
I'm pretty sure Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson didn't play the games before their acting performances either and that turned out fine.
The script and production crew will steer them in the right direction.
@torne probably Batgirl for me but will give them all a go. I do like stealth play so maybe I'll give Robin a go for a bit as I hear he's the stealthy option.
@Northern_munkey pretty much yeah I was on the fence just waiting to see the list in case it was filled with too many multiplayer trophies.
I hope you enjoy it after such a long wait
I'm not getting the anime cartooniness from that splash screen so fingers crossed they've ditched all that nonsense.
Mind you let's be honest I'm going to be there day one regardless, it's cars innit.
Still hearing things about the bugged trophies so am going to hold off for another quiet period and see if they get fixed. I really hope they get fixed.
For me Division 2 is one of the best games ever made so I am keeping a keen eye on this one. I'm prepared for disappointment though. Ubisoft, any chance of giving the fans what they want with a Division 3?

Please have more trophies.

Re: 25% of Players Have Beaten God of War Ragnarok, Two Weeks After Release
@IOI ahh yes, get in the boat, look at map, wrong beach, look at map, back in boat
Re: 25% of Players Have Beaten God of War Ragnarok, Two Weeks After Release
Finally platinumed it today, those final fights for 100% were quite amusing as was the crucible but the rest of it was pretty boring.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Trophies Drive You to Play Online if You Want That Platinum
It does depend on whether the playlists are full leaderboards or just a few select people. Either way probably pretty easy eventually.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give God of War Ragnarok?
@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.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give God of War Ragnarok?
It's ok, it's no 10 but I gave it a good 7.
Unskippable cutscenes though, dear heavens.
Re: Random: KFC Capitalises on God of War Ragnarok with Opportune Ad Placement
This just makes me wish I lived near a KFC.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound's Takeover Mode Is All About Driving with Style
I'm sort of looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.
Re: EA Reportedly Writes Off Project CARS, DiRT Franchises
Gutted. Two great franchises. Well, apart from PC3, that was garbage.
Why buy racing developers if you aren't going to make racers?
Re: Puma, Versace Among the Real-Life Brands in PS5's Need for Speed Unbound
Do you remember when racing games partnered with car companies? Us oldies remember.
Re: Puma, Versace Among the Real-Life Brands in PS5's Need for Speed Unbound
Snap, only four for me too.
Now I'm seeing the potential for a Need for Speed for us oldies.
Re: Return to Monkey Island Lands a PS5 Version Next Week
I wanna be a pirate!
Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Spoilers Rife As Retailers Break Street Date
Two weeks early I can understand his frustration but the bit about "having just an installer on the physical disc" is just dumb.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Gotham Knights?
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.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give A Plague Tale: Requiem?
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.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Team 60fps.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Gotham Knights?
Thanks @Westernwolf4 I'm sure it'll plop through the letterbox tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Gotham Knights?
Postal strikes means mine has been sitting in a sack somewhere for the past few days. No idea where.
Re: Refuel with Gas Station Simulator on PS4, Available Now
Yeah, why not, I enjoy a decent job simulator.
Re: DualSense Edge PS5 Controller Is Coming Soon, and It's Pricey
We were way off in that poll weren't we?
£210 is insanity, not a chance they sell many of these.
Re: Mini Review: LEGO Bricktales (PS5) - Solid Puzzler Taps into the Creativity of LEGO
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.
Re: Yes, You Can Turn the Effects Off in Need for Speed Unbound
Noice.
Off for me, need to see the car and the road.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Looks Super Stylish in Short Gameplay Clip
These effects are definitely splitting the audience for this one, it might even bring in a whole new one.
The more people playing the more chance of updates and new vehicles.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Has Largest Launch Lineup of Cars in the Series
You could say it's a bit of a copy paste list but it's a decent list.
Yes it's got some holes in it but plenty of great cars to choose from.
Re: HBO's The Last of Us Ellie 'Encouraged Not' to Play the Games
I'm pretty sure Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson didn't play the games before their acting performances either and that turned out fine.
The script and production crew will steer them in the right direction.
Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Platinum Will Keep You Busy
@torne probably Batgirl for me but will give them all a go. I do like stealth play so maybe I'll give Robin a go for a bit as I hear he's the stealthy option.
Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Platinum Will Keep You Busy
@Northern_munkey pretty much yeah I was on the fence just waiting to see the list in case it was filled with too many multiplayer trophies.
I hope you enjoy it after such a long wait
Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Platinum Will Keep You Busy
@OMGitsLiamT I did indeed, I probably wouldn't have purchased it if it was filled with multiplayer/co-op trophies.
Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Platinum Will Keep You Busy
I actually pre-ordered it this morning on seeing the trophy list as it looks like my cup of tea. Lots of collectibles.
Re: PS Stars: How to Solve the Hit Play/1994 Campaign
So if these aren't installed on your machine you have to redownload around 300GB of data just to fire up the games to earn one digital item.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Runs 4K, 60fps on PS5 with Full Crossplay
@SoulChimera ahh how on earth did I miss that article!? Thanks for posting it.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Runs 4K, 60fps on PS5 with Full Crossplay
Trailer is up already:

Re: Need for Speed Unbound Runs 4K, 60fps on PS5 with Full Crossplay
Great news, will be interesting to see the multiplayer trophies if there are any.
Re: Need for Speed PS5's Reveal Trailer Is Around the Hairpin Bend
@HotGoomba twice, yeah apologies for that.
Forgive my excitement for one of my favourite franchises.
Re: Need for Speed PS5's Reveal Trailer Is Around the Hairpin Bend
I'm not getting the anime cartooniness from that splash screen so fingers crossed they've ditched all that nonsense.
Mind you let's be honest I'm going to be there day one regardless, it's cars innit.
Re: Need for Speed Social Media Fired Up Ahead of Impending PS5 Reveal
I'm just praying they've dropped all that anime cartoon garbage.
Just more of the last three games please.
Re: WRC Generations Pumps the Brakes with Delay to November on PS5, PS4
Now for the difficult question:
£27 for physical or £45 for 48hrs early digital?
Re: Weapons in Dead Island 2 Will Degrade with Use, but Dev Explains 'We’re Generous with It'
It was done perfectly in Dying Light and did make the game more entertaining.
I quite like having to search for new weapons.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Average Playthrough Will Take 15-18 Hours, and 'There's No Filler'
Perfect.
Innocence was one of my favourite games of the last generation and I'm sure this one will be high on this generation's list too.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
Stellar Blade for me.
I'm totally God of War'ed out.
Re: Journey to the Center of the Earth in The Chinese Room's Latest, Little Orpheus
I thought I read that The Chinese Room went under years ago. Good to see them back.
Re: Hands On: Train Sim World 3 PS5, PS4 Is on Track to Be Dovetail's Best Railway Sim Yet
Still hearing things about the bugged trophies so am going to hold off for another quiet period and see if they get fixed.
I really hope they get fixed.
Re: The Division Heartland Details Leak Via Ubisoft Store Ahead of Ubisoft Forward Event
For me Division 2 is one of the best games ever made so I am keeping a keen eye on this one. I'm prepared for disappointment though.
Ubisoft, any chance of giving the fans what they want with a Division 3?
Re: The Last of Us PS5 Remake Has Easier Trophy List Than PS4, PS3 Versions
They'll put the difficulty trophies back in later as DLC.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rollerdrome?
It’s great for a couple of hours but by then you’ve done it all and seen it all. Unfortunately zero replayability.
Decent enough for a 6 from me.
Re: Poll: How Much Would You Pay for the DualSense Edge PS5 Pro Controller?
Can I also have it in any colour I want?
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Saints Row?
Had it pre-ordered as there's nothing else to play at the moment, got to play something.
It's not that bad.
Re: Enormous Appetite for PS5 Pro Pad As DualSense Edge Trends
Imagine how many they could've sold if orders went live on the night.
They shoud've cashed in on the buzz.
