@Npc1987 I hear you. Open world games are definitely not something I can play back-to-back. I'd get insane burn out. That's why I've not played this yet. Will wait another few months until my last open world game is out of my system and then give it a whirl
Wait, what is meant by non-ps plus digital versions? Does it mean from the free to play library with a subscription? If I buy them now on playstore for £15.99 do I get the upgrade paths? I've never played them so tempted. How much will the PS5 versions likely launch at?
@reek won't know for sure until the update rolls out but it's looking like as long as you have a premium PSN account then you won't need the console. But as I say, it'll need confirming.
@get2sammyb I barely go for plats but I had to for E33. I felt I'd be doing the Devs a disservice if I didn't 🤣. To be fair, I loved every part of it so I didn't find it a slog
I'm actually not too bothered because I need to witness Expedition 33 win the Game of the Year Award and you just know that GTA will win everything it's nominated for just because it's GTA
The guys at Sandfall absolutely deserve all of the love and attention this game is getting. It's incredible, and you can really see and hear when playing how much love went into it making it.
If Bam was in the game the first time round, then Bam should be in the game this time round. It's a shame other things from the first time around aren't present this time though, but that's for another post.
Too much attention is given to keyboard warriors and social media children these days. All they yearn for is controversy and 'clicks' while having no appreciation of the time, effort and love that has been poured into games.
I personally find them pathetic and take them for the low lives that they are.
I'm still plowing my way through the first game. Wanted to put it down so many times but always find myself back in. It certainly has it's charms. I absolutely detest the combat though...
It is strange, I can't lie. When I was younger the feeling of going to a game shop to buy a new release, or being on the queue for a midnight release hit so different and was so exciting. But then you could go straight home, throw it in the console and start playing. Nowadays, if you have to install it to the console anyway then for me I might as well buy it on the store before I go to bed or before I go to work so that when I have the time to play I can do it straight away. It's just more convenient. It is sad though and I'm glad physical is still there for the collectors.
This may be a silly question but how is that even compensation if you're a subscriber anyway? If your subscription ends it automatically renews, 5 days later or not. Still got money coming out of your account that week 🤷🏻♂️
