Am super stoked for this - have played every Disgaea game across PS2, PS3, PSP, PSVITA and PS4... So, many, hours...

But am prepared to do it all again to replay this absolute classic!!!

@Xenophon You can play single player with an AI crew vs AI opponents if that's your cup of tea but it's not the 'main' way to play...

It's just The Last Guardian for me (well with some StarDew Valley, Trove Beta and possibly Overwatch if Santa comes through with it!?)

Day one!! (If it comes West)!?

Totally agree - this was a conf that really delivered... the next year is going to be incredible on PS4!!

@vagineer1 hey it hits U.K. Tomorrow (25th) and is well worth a look despite the awkward semi colon @get2sammyb !?

@SonuvLiberty Hey the music is real and varied - there is an app on your virtual phone that can identify tunes near you - also some mission have soundtracks which really work. I had some of the most fun ever remote driving a Knight Rider- alike driverless car with Duran Duran blasting out as I tried to evade the cops!! I can't overstate the excellent 'fun factor' of this game!

Day one!!

LOVED the demo... it plays really well on the Vita, with this, Dragon Quest Builders and Superdimension Neptune vs SEGA Hard Girls the Vita is for once well stocked for games!!

@dryrain - that's true but it's not a full priced game and the fun factor makes up for the lack of hundreds of holes IMO

Hey @Neato-Burrito it plays good in standard mode too - the VR is just the bonus 100ft viewpoint on top of a great game!

YES! I have 8 move controllers which we use at our youth group to play the superb Johann Sebastian Joust game (kind of semi contact sport with last person's move still alight is the winner - best played in low light conditions)... it's one of my all time fav games which anyone can play as you don't use the screen for the game itself... check it http://www.jsjoust.com/

@sketchturner It is a great fun game (if you don't dwell on the weak single player campaign). There is some sweary stuff, both in the cut scenes and occasionally in the banter between pilots in the campaign though but it's not excessive.

@Jbumi Hey - you can save at any point when you skip out to main menu but not in the middle of fight. Yes there's only one save alas so you can't jump back to an earlier time point (which might have been nice actually)... but its not a deal breaker as the overall game is great!

@Shellcore Hi - yes if you're a strategy battle fan... there's so much content in this package, as long as you invest in getting to know (and love) the battle system this is really worth while purchase!

Nice review Jade - where would you rate this compared to the previous Atelier games???

But better than Battleborn then!?

@carlos82 Thanks man - good tips! Looks like another Platinum notched up soon then!

Oohh - very tempted - I need to bag the settlement happiness trophy - do you know if these new elements will make that easier??

Day one for me!! Ah Burnout Crash Mode was hours of destructive fun!!

@Quintumply it is bleak but it's also weirdly engaging in that you find yourself really wanting to find a way to survive... It's that emotional connection that makes this such a great experience. I'd agree that it's not for everyone (especially if you just want to shoot stuff!)

A 1TB PS4 and 5 good - to - great games... that's got to be attractive to anyone who missed the PS3 era. Might as well have been called the 'Xbox360 upgrade package'...

superb - very useful source of upgrades!! LOVING Fallout 4 c25 hours in...

Great work!
Ooh a magazine guide would be awesome!! Also any thoughts on which order the lovely Bobbleheads can / should be collected? Have bagged 3 so far... Perception, Repair and Science.

@SteveButler2210 it really is pretty - and holds up pretty well when things get frantic (and they do when you unleash mass destruction on multiple enemies)... I'll be keen to see the final build boosted by whatever day one patches might arrive but even in the non final state I played it looked remarkable!! #ExcitedForThisOne

You know what is extra awesome about this... Not sure if this is just a UK or GAME thing but my Hearts of Stone DLC pack came with a deck of real world Gwent cards - which I'd have happily bought on their own. Excellent!!

Ah gutted... Absolutely loved the Novel this is based on. Am still tempted just to support the author's vision even if it is totally flawed. Such a shame...

very tempted after reading this review...

Actually loving Mad Max - if you've enjoyed any of the films (and I'm a big fan of them all) - this is a dream come true... Would recommend without hesitation - this open world apocalypse is just the job till Fallout 4!!

CAN'T WAIT!!

Total Rocket League addiction in our household... except for youngest son who has a XBO and just looks longingly at the PS4 rocking such a wonderful game! Love it so much will be taking it on the road as the exhibition attraction for my college's booth this summer!

Everyone should at least give PlanetSide 2 a go (after all, the price is right)... It can be addictive and for those complaining about the size of the maps - check the 'instant action' button on the spawn screen and you'll be jumped straight into a fight...

It's like Sony don't even have to try now... Four great games there but a wealth more fun, quirky, cool games hitting... Can't wait for Uncharted Collection and TearAway. At the moment Rocket League alone is cooler than anything on the other consoles.

Ah Sony you beautiful company!! Got my gift email / entered my address / now awaiting gift personalised print!? #Excited!!

This would be great on VITA but will still play it on PS4 (prob a win for remote play when wife has TV time...)

'bleak' indeed especially for Xbox!?

Will be picking this up if it plays OK!

Really enjoyed it, superb lore, excellent characters, incredible visuals and fun (but just not enough) shooting... The only lackluster element for me was the exploration - but I'd still put down money for The Order 1887 preorder if it was announced. 1886 harks back to days when you experience a game for 8 or so hours and then move on (like having watched a film but having been involved in the plot)

Nice one @Anchorsam_9 - going to pick this up after reading your review!

I love the VITA and let's not forget it still has a higher world wide user base than the WiiU (10.5m vs 9.7m if you put any store in VGChartz)... Terraria is awesome on the VITA and is my fav version. If the new Lego Worlds was to launch on VITA I could see that doing good business if bundled with a mid range mem card.

Anyone up for some co-op?? It's much better that way!
