Loving this all over again and even get fresh trophy pops. It still looks gorgeous even on performance mode and the new dialogue animations are much much better. I also forgot how excellent the music is in this game. Still my favourite PS exclusive.
I replayed Origins recently and although it hasn't aged well looks wise, it's still a great game.The fade section in the mage tower is an absolute slog to get through, though.
I'll most likely pick this up in a future sale for about £8. From everything I've seen of it so far I think that the writing and dialogue sound just as dreadful as ME Andromeda's.
Skill Up said that he ended up changing the difficulty down to easy just so he could get through the combat quicker because it was so tedious. You'll be fighting the exact same enemies using the exact same moves at the end of the game as you were at the beginning. I remember doing the same thing myself in FFXVI.
I've noticed that in a lot of the reviews, like Rob says in this review, is that the dialogue is all very safe and that only a couple of player choices made throughout the whole game actually matter.
I've got nearly everything from the trapper, completed all of Pearson's crafts list and upgraded the camp, and I'm still only at Horseshoe Overlook with Micah still sitting in the Strawberry jail. Life is good.
I've just seen this on Sky Sports News. One of the presenters said he was dressed as Agent 47 from the film, Hitman. While technically correct, it still mildly angered me.
I'm back on Red Dead Redemption 2 trying to complete it 100% starting from the very beginning again. As good Marston's tale is in the first game, I think RDR2 is so much better as a complete package.
I think it's time for yet another playthrough. I bought and played this at launch and either never experienced the frame drops and bugs or was just enjoying the game too much to notice.
I enjoyed the demo and I know Atlus games pretty much follow the same formula but it just felt like I was playing a knock-off Persona game. I've only ever played P3P, P4 and P5, though so my opinion will probably be based as ignorant to the Atlus hardcore.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster.

@Rob_230 Gildun from Frozen Wilds is my favourite character from the series.
Re: Tales of Graces f Reveals Remastered PS5, PS4 Updates in New Trailer
Berseria is my favourite. I just love the characters and character skits in that one. Magilou is so annoyingly superb.

I hope he got a platinum for it.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@ShogunRok I think that the Dragon Age series have always had memorable companion characters. How does this one shape up?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 552
Red Dead Redemption 2.

I think the original screenshots have better lighting that give it more character.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Raunchy ESRB Description Needs to Relax
The writing is going to be awful in this one isn't it?
Re: Video: 2025 Is Shaping Up to Be PS5's Best Year Yet
GTA6 will save us all. If its world is as detailed as RDR2 is, then we're in for a real treat.
Also looking forward to KCD2 and Ghost of Yotei.
Re: Horizon's Sylens Will Be Recast Following the Passing of Lance Reddick
I thought that Sylens was criminally underused in Forbidden West.

Re: Poll: Are You Using the PS5's New Welcome Hub?
Turn on PS5. Play current game.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade

Re: Don't Nod Financials Result in Reorganisation and Layoffs, Cancelled Projects
I guess we're never getting that Remember Me remaster.
Re: PlayStation Community Reflects on Iconic Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for 15th Anniversary
Uncharted's sequels were much more improved upon and played better than the first game but Drake's Fortune will always be my favourite.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content

Aloy badly needed this in Forbidden West.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta's Difficulty Will Differ Depending on Your Choice of Camera
I think difficulty doesn't even matter in stealth games because the focus is to never be spotted and to stay out of combat.
