I’ll play it if they sort out the balancing issues. I hit a point in the open beta where it was basically impossible to progress on my own because the game threw more enemies at me than I could handle.
They can’t really win tbh. If they let the winners talk for too long then people complain that the show drags on, but if they hurry winners up to try and keep a brisk pace then they also receive complaints.
I’ve played up until co-op was unlocked and it seems like a good time so far. The game looks absolutely gorgeous. Really looking forward to playing it co-op with my brother this evening.
I can see 7/10 being fair, but I think anyone giving it a 5 or under went into it knowing they were going to give it a bad score because it’s Far Cry on Pandora. Say what you want about the Far Cry formula, but it’s still a solid gameplay loop.
At least I still have GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition to play through to get my GTA fix. Yeah I know they’re not meant to be great, but I’m sure I’ll still get some enjoyment out of them.
@GuttyYZ I played it all evening and finished it. I got to a point where I decided that I actually quite liked the game. I still wasn’t a massive fan of the enemies and combat, but it wasn’t bothering me as much anymore. THEN the game decides to throw hacked robots at me that absolutely shred my armour and health and I’m back to not enjoying the combat again. In the end I was just sprinting past everything.
I wonder if Netflix will start doing its own exclusives at some point. They make their own shows, so it’s not a big leap for them to start making their own games.
I’m finally going to play through Infamous First Light. I keep starting it and then deciding I’d rather play something else. I’m gonna stick with it this time.
@nomither6 These are the lenses of your rose tinted glasses!
The N64 South Park game is terrible!
I’m definitely more interested in this game after watching the new trailer, but it’s hard to not think of it as a downgrade from the previous two games.
@naruball Most of the time when a developer makes a game that looks like a NES game it’s done by choice. I doubt the developer here was like “you know what, let’s make our game look like a PS3 game”. Also I’ve played this game and the gameplay is terrible and it’s a buggy mess. Some trophies don’t work, making the plat unobtainable and they even only released half the game on Friday, making the game unplayable about halfway through and had to put out a 30 GB update on Saturday containing the rest of the game, so yeah, as long as they want people’s hard earned money for this then the whole package deserves to be mocked.
"The actions of Sony is costing millions of people who can't afford it, particularly when we're in the midst of a cost of living crisis and the consumer purse is being squeezed like never before,"
This annoys me. Sony aren’t forcing anyone to buy games. If you can’t afford a game then wait for a sale or buy it used.
@UltimateOtaku91 The only way they can fix it is by removing it from all digital stores and burying all physical copies in the desert, like what was done with ET!
I’m on the last chapter of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, so hopefully I’ll be finishing that. Once that’s done I’ll be concentrating on Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
I think it’s unlikely and I don’t think they need to. They know GTA VI is going to be a system seller, so anyone that doesn’t currently own a current gen console will be scrambling to upgrade when it’s released.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Such a lovely looking game.
Re: The First Descendant Touches Down on PS5, PS4 in Summer 2024
@Mortal Good to know, thanks! Hopefully it’s something they’ll fix and I won’t have to resort to that.
Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen (PS5) - A Short But Explosive Dungeon Run
Think I might wait until both DLC’s are released before I dive back in.
Re: Poll: What Was the Best PS5 Game Announcement or Reveal at The Game Awards 2023?
The SEGA announcement trailer for sure.
Re: PS5 Download Error Seems Widespread as Player Reports Flood In
I just tried to buy Postal 4 and got an error message. Not sure if it’s related to this or not.

Re: New Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and More On the Way in Huge SEGA Announcement
Okay, this made me smile!

Re: Alone in the Dark Delayed Once More, Now Out in March 2024
I’m looking forward to this, but I’m more than happy for them to take all the time they need. January is a packed month for me anyway, release wise!
Re: GTA 6 Trailer Pulls 90 Million Views in 24 Hours, Sets New World Records
I have to admit, I’ve watched it more than a few times. Even made me redownload GTA V.
Re: Round Up: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Reviews Are Torn on Ubisoft's New Open World
@SgtTruth It was apparently the highest grossing movie of 2022. How is it a dead IP?

Re: GTA 6 Trailer Out Now, 2025 Release Window Revealed
Trailer looks incredible.
Re: Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Makes You Wait for a Summer 2024 Reveal
I’d distance myself from Baldur’s Gate 3, too!
Re: Action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink Looks Fantastic in Hours of Raw PS5 Gameplay
This game looks right up my alley. Reminds me of the Tales of games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 505
I’m playing Prey. After 10 hours I’m still not sure what I think of it. I love exploring, but hate the enemies.
Re: Silence! Apollo Justice's Legal Journey Begins Anew in Ace Attorney Trilogy Promo 2
Really wish this was out sooner. It would be a good Christmas game!
Re: Random: Yes, Netflix Really Is Getting GTA for Christmas
I wonder if Netflix will start doing its own exclusives at some point. They make their own shows, so it’s not a big leap for them to start making their own games.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Ushers In New Age of $70 Capcom Games
You know what, if any company deserves to charge £60 for their games then it’s Capcom. They have been on fire over the last few years.
Re: PS5, PS4 Mecha Action RPG Megaton Musashi: Wired Delayed to April 2024
The song in the trailer has sold me on the game alone.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023 Announced
The comments so far are why Sony can never win when choosing what Essential games to include!
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023 Announced
3 games I’m interested in. Merry Christmas to me!
Re: The Batman Movie Suit Coming to PS4's Arkham Knight Next Month
If they added 4K and 60 FPS this game would look as good as any PS5 game released today. Hard to believe it runs on Unreal Engine 3.
Re: Spider-Man 2's Best Side Mission Has Been Nominated for an Award
I mean I didn’t dislike it, but it was far from the best.
Re: Massive PS Store Sale Makes 2,800+ PS5, PS4 Games Cheaper Than Ever
Sonic Superstars has my interest.

Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Collection Breaks Containment on PS5, PS4
I know it’s the Jurassic Park collection, but I wish The Lost World on PS1 was included.
Re: Call of Duty 2024 Reportedly Set During First Gulf War
Probably be DLC for Black Ops Cold War!

Re: A Plague Tale Dev Signs Up for 'Another Exciting Project'
I’d love to see them do another cinematic game in a different setting.
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch
@Kidfunkadelic83 From when I played it!
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch
It’s really good. I think the 6/10 that Push Square gave it was a bit harsh.
Re: Magical PS5 FPS Immortals of Aveum Is Probably Coming to PS Plus at Some Point
Took a little while to click with me, but I ended up really enjoying it.
Re: Arguably PS5's Best and Worst Games of 2023 Now Have Trials on PS Plus Premium
@UltimateOtaku91 The only way they can fix it is by removing it from all digital stores and burying all physical copies in the desert, like what was done with ET!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 503
ANNO: Mutationem and The Walking Dead: Destinies. I’ll probably finish both and carry on with Super Mario RPG.
Re: Part of Your PS5 Profile Is Now Pretty Much Useless
It still shows my streams to YouTube.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Like a Dragon Gaiden?
9/10. It’s more of the same and that’s perfectly fine with me.
Re: Remedy Drops Official Alan Wake 2 Old Gods of Asgard Music Video, and It Rocks
I had a massive smile on my face for the entirety of this chapter.
Re: Suicide Squad Returns with All-New PS5 Gameplay
Looks good to me. I trust Rocksteady to make a good game.
Re: 14 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week
Oooh, Grandia! Nice!

Re: A New Trails Game Will Launch in Japan Next Year as the West Continues to Catch Up
I might just learn Japanese. It’ll take less time for me to become fluent than it’s taking Falcom to release these over here!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name?
I was going wait for the English dub to drop, but I decided I wanted to play it before I go back to work on Sunday.
Re: Poll: Do You Think GTA 6 Will Release on PS4?
@ItsBritneyB_tch Are you serious? Red Dead Redemption 2 looks amazing, even now.
