As a lover of all things Witcher, I'll be eager to see it. I thought they did a great job with the first Witcher series. The period of the Conjunction of the Spheres could make for some really interesting stories.

Slowly eradicating the mongols from the beautiful Tsushima. After a couple of weekends playing I finally did another story mission. Might get another done in-between photos in the coming weeks.

Also inching closer to the TLOU 2 Platinum, which might happen this weekend as there is less football.

I don't really tend to consider my overall opinion of a game until I've finished it or played all I'm going to . However seeing as I've loved every minute I've put into it so far I gave it a 9, but it could end up either side of that depending how it progresses.

A lot of great pictures from everyone make it a tricky decision. Some had one great shot I really loved but went with ones who had more than one outstanding scene. @escargold, @MrYoumans and @Chin2 grabbed my votes with their beautifully composed shots.

C’mon Rob, it is a top ten. If Cloud and Tifa share first Aerith is third and so on. You can’t have to 2 characters before and still be second.

@Waffles12415 yeah probably. Would have to limit it to one person at a time too, unless maybe from the same household. It would definitely require some careful measures.

The origami itself could also be considered an homage to Heavy Rain. (Though unintentional).

@oldschool1987 getting the skill to deflect arrows with block is a major help.

They won’t be letting the general public touch those controllers any time soon. Maybe they can have a staff member demonstrating with it.

@S1ayeR74 Just referring to first-party, much like Phil Spencer was.

Microsoft isn't making next-gen only games because they wouldn't be playable by a lot of their Gamepass owners and would devalue the service for them. I can see Microsoft extending this position longer than stated if take up of the Series X is slower than predicted. It's all about Gamepass.
I've always purchased new consoles to get new experiences not possible on the old hardware. Glad to see Sony continue with what has been the standard in the past.

I will be honouring my PS4 with this

Absolutely loving it so far and just when I think I'm getting good I get killed. The combat is so satisfying when you do it well though.

Happy gaming samurai.

@WanderingBullet Not sure what email you use but it might be worth checking your junk folder. I check mine daily as it seems to be about 50/50 that amazon emails go to my inbox or junk folder.

@WanderingBullet I was sent an email with a code for them and purchased my copy from Amazon.

My Special Edition came a few hours ago and I've had a quick go, I'll get in to it proper over the weekend. The Steelbook is sleek and an excellent addition to the collection.

I'll certainly try it out but as others mentioned it's not a style of game I like. Still I enjoyed the main campaign in Destiny/Division so if the story is fun enough I could be happy enough to get it for that.

I hope this one doesn't take 5 days in the mail like TLOU 2 did. I've finished that now so all set to get fully immersed on Friday.

You can call it what you want but it all boils down to walking up to some AI and doing something for them after a brief chat. It boils down to how fun and interesting that 'event' is.

I think most of the Fifa players(who haven't got it) know that Fifa 20 will be worth about 20p in a couple of months when the new one comes out and are waiting.

I think Sony are waiting to see if Microsoft announce their date/price in their upcoming event. There have been rumours of another Sony stream to come with some games held back so they might be sitting on that to put out afterwards which will give the date/price. Although first half of November seems pretty certain for both.

Also I think Sony will wait until Ghost is out before announcing anything else about PS5.

Joraptor has put up footage of some of his gameplay trying to be stealthy. Might be instakills but not bosses. That wolf thing bothered me too.

11/15 mainly as I've actually played a couple of them. Surprised you could play with Move controllers, I wonder how well that worked?

I think I might be reaching the final stages of TLOU 2. To be vague I just got back from the island when I stopped for lunch. The game feels so much more tense than the first I feel like I'm actually playing a survival horror game at times.
I loved the descent through the hotel level and the 'boss' in the hospital car-park.
I'm hoping I'll get it finished this weekend and maybe the Plat if I've not got too much to mop up.

I wonder if we will make it to Sunday without something else leaking? I doubt that there will be anything to surprise us anyway but I’m eager to see proper gameplay for AC and Watchdogs regardless.

@Futureshark Totally agree. This is about brand association more than aesthetics. Push Square is this colour for a reason. Does everyone who dislikes the blue not like PS4 cases either? Don’t get me wrong the Miles Morales case looks better in black but Godfall and Horizon Forbidden West both look good in the blue and white to me. I think it generally depends on the box art itself.

For a quality game I know I will enjoy then I will happily pay more. I always buy these games at launch as I want them to do well, only games I'm unsure of will I wait for a sale.

Also Miles' suit looks similar to the Black Cat suit from the original game. Which therefore mean it looks awesome.

They were never going to drop the blue it's part of brand recognition at this point. Looks fine. Hopefully we will still get quality steelbooks next gen.

@DavLFC yeah I noticed that last night, in fact I've found that there are many instances when the characters face is actually reflective of the situation, even if we don't see it most of the time.

I'm well impressed with my 8/20 as every answer was a guess having never played it. Maybe I should have made my forum quiz multiple-choice.

About 20 hours in on TLOU 2 and in the flooded city. Thankfully the boat handles way better than the Jet ski from Uncharted. The pace I'm taking makes me wonder if I'll get in beat in time for GoT. I might have to install it on my slim as well and cut back my RDR2 online time.
Plus with F1 back this weekend to go with the football I'm spoiled for entertainment this weekend.

Have a good one everyone, whatever you're doing.

@Snackfood I'm with you, the days of watching a stream and being surprised by what appears are rapidly disappearing. It's understandable but a shame.
Also I could be the other one in your avatar.

@LiamCroft ah that explains it. It will be interesting to see if choices have changed much in light of new games or new information.

Didn't we already do this after the stream? Maybe it was something similar? I've played along all the same.

Horizon and Mile Morales Spidey are day one without doubt and went with AC Valhalla for three but could have been Resi. Plenty of others to keep an eye on.

That's a quick turnaround to be showing their next game considering Greedfall was less than a year ago. I've not played it myself but my Mum enjoyed it so I'll keep an eye on it.

@huyi If you can wait that long it will no doubt be the best console version. I want to play the game as soon as I can. With the date now late November there is a strong chance I'll be putting the PS4 disc into a PS5 anyway.

@OlosNah I wouldn't be surprised if the developers would have had an easier time if they skipped the current gen. It was never really an option though, the idea of the game started back when the current gen did and from a financial viewpoint they can't pass up a potential 130/140 million customers.
I'm sure the game will play just the same on current gen, it just won't look as spectacular as PC and eventual next gen versions.

@OlosNah At present they have no plans for a PS5 version. When the PS5 comes out you can get a patch which will improve the PS4 version. A proper upgrade to fully utilize the PS5 is not coming until 2021 so a full PS5 version won't come until then at the earliest.
I believe they probably won't release a PS5 version until the expansions are out and then will do a Game of the year style edition with everything included.

I have seen and can whole-heartily recommend the first 4 listed here. I would also suggest The Witcher videos on Noclip as well. I'm hoping Danny and his crew are doing some behind the scenes stuff for Cyberpunk.

I already liked John Oliver, now even more so.

I wonder if we will be able to ride a Bristleback? It looks like the Shellsnapper might be able to catch us by surprise in the game and appear like a small landmass in swampy areas too.

9/15 and a lot of guesses. My main takeaway is I'm going to look up Deliver us the Moon because that caught my interest.

My copy didn't arrive until Tuesday and with work I didn't start it yesterday. First real session with this today

Loving it so far, just reached Seattle.

If this gets a photo-mode it will probably double my playtime.

I don't want to see too much but I thought the first episode had just the right amount of gameplay to give you a feel without spoiling anything. If it carries on like this it should be good. Maybe a different aspect of gameplay a month until release.

It may be further away and no longer coming out when I'm hol but I'm still super excited to play this. I might be putting my disk into a PS5 instead of PS4 so will probably run better too.

@H4ilHydra copy image address of gif then type (img)paste image address(/img) except use square brackets. Hope that helps, someone on this site taught me how to do it ages ago too.
