@themightyant Oh I know. If I add the backlog on Steam, GoG, Origin, Epic and whatever the Ubisoft one is called I basically don't have enough years left to play them all already 😂 One change I have made to try to improve matters is not feeling like I have to finish games I do start. If I'm not enjoying it after an hour or two it gets deleted, no guilt. Life is literally too short.
I've just checked my PS4 pro library and I have a backlog of approx 180 games that I haven't even ever downloaded let alone played. This delay is quite possibly a blessing in disguise 🤔
I've been enjoying this hugely, it's fantastic with the aim controller. One thing not mentioned here is the weird scaling issue where characters and particularly NPCs look too small, though this can be 'fixed' by reducing your eye-to-eye distance to half in the settings. Hopefully a patch will sort this and also increase resolution for the PS4 Pro and PS5.
I've been watching streams of people trying to play this but struggling with constant disconnections. If you have an always online requirement then you should make sure your servers work first. As it is literally unplayable for hours at a time this is an easy pass for me.
Moving pictures are an optical illusion. Having spent years playing games on PC at 120 FPS+ my brain simply doesn't interpret 30 FPS as smooth movement anymore. I recently tried to play Bloodborne again and gave up after a few hours.
I have somehow managed to get through life without ever playing a Need For Speed game so I'll give it a go for ten minutes. Vampyr I'm actually interested in so not a bad month for me.
I've had both xboxes and playstations in previous generations and I still haven't made up my mind which way to go next gen yet. Not having to pay a subscription to play online would be a really big factor in my decision.
I never pay more than £20 for games. Why would I? The games industry has never been bigger and has never made more money. They know that x amount of customers will pay full price, then x amount will pay less a few weeks or months later. This is all factored in to their marketing strategies. You don't need to pay full price now and you won't in the future either.
It still amazes me that being able to completely redefine all the controls isn't standard by now. I have a weird hand spasm thing which makes me click R3 randomly and it ruins some games for me.
When I first played Shenmue I was actually working as a forklift driver. One Sunday morning I was playing the game waiting for the pub to open. In the game I was playing Space Harrier waiting for the bars to open so I could ask some guys about sailors. Blew my mind at the time, lol. (Incidentally, I wasn't going to the pub to ask about sailors in real life.)

Re: Doom 3: VR Edition Reimagines the 2004 FPS Classic in Virtual Reality
Much like RE 7 I will buy this then never dare to install it 😂
Re: Housemarque on Returnal's Price: We're Doing Our Half of the Value Proposition
It'll be on PS Plus by the end of the year. Calling it now.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About PS4 Exclusives Being Ported to PC?
Unless games get pulled from the store, Cyberpunk-style, they haven't 'gone' anywhere. So what difference does it make?
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Won't Release in 2021, Hardsuit Labs No Longer the Lead Developer
To be fair they never actually finished making the first one either.
Re: Next-Gen The Sinking City Launches on 19th February for PS5
I quite enjoyed this one. It's janky af and a bit limited, but worth picking up in a sale if you like Lovecraftian things.
Re: PS5 Scalpers Continue to Scoop Up New Stock
I've given up any thought of buying a PS5 this year. I'll put the money towards a new PC and pick up a PS5 Pro when they come out instead.

I have somehow managed to get through life without ever playing a Need For Speed game so I'll give it a go for ten minutes. Vampyr I'm actually interested in so not a bad month for me.

Re: The Last of Us: Part II - Essential Sequel Is Naughty Dog's Best Effort
How does it run though? Consistent 60 fps or should I wait for the inevitable PS5 version?
