WRC 9, which I'm finding very difficult even with a wheel. Been watching YT vids to try and nail the setup so my car can at least stay on the road! Looking at other racing game options to at least enjoy the wheel I recently bought...
Ooooh looks like I'll have to hard pass on this. And when I do decide to give it a crack it will be just the ps4 Iki expansion, no point then upgrading the whole show to ps5 version. Cheers!
Tomb Raider. And I was not expecting it to be so brutal on Lara lol wow that's some rough luck and encounters for her. Looking forward to Shadow and Rise as well.
No surprise if true but I was hoping for the end of this year. I'm looking at all the RPG releases for 2022 like Crimson Desert, Forspoken, Hogwarts Legacy, GoW for starters and shaking my head in pity for my wallet.
Still I guess if I was a massive Tennis fan I'd be singing a different tune. Luckily I have enough to play at the moment. At least September won't be any worse...right Sony...
@Northern_munkey Worth a punt on sale you reckon? I thought there might be a 2K22 come out this year but like a lot of other titles all I hear is crickets...
Loved my switch. Played it on my long daily commute. Played it docked on weekends. Since I got my ps5 I now watch YT on the train and play my ps5 nearly every night. And i have zero interest in buying another switch for minimal upgrades especially now I know about the actual production cost increase of $10. Hey Nintendo - pump that $40 per machine you're creaming off the top into fixing the awful online store.
Started the first one but barely 2 hours into it and bored. Went on to other things, no desire to finish the first let alone pick up TLOU2 anytime soon, but each to their own.
Probably going to grab WRC 9 on sale and get into it. Might wait for the F! 2021 review though...
Finally got the platinum on Rift Apart. Encountered an unusual bug, I had completed the 3 Glitch story missions and had all gold bolts yet didn't get the Glitch trophy. Surely I must have completed all 5 Glitch missions then? I had to play through on Challenge Mode and when I got to the last Glitch for a gold bolt I got the trophy. Here's the thing though, that last glitch mission with the super virus was completely new to me. So how on earth did I get that gold bolt first time around? Lol weird.
I'm not really sure what to think but several of the comments that infer the new expansion should be paid for but the ps5 upgrade should be free is where I am leaning. The game looks gorgeous enough anyway I may wait to see just how much more impressive the update is. As for the extra island I may buy it at some point but I thought the game was big enough and in parts repetitive enough as it was, I certainly don't need extra armour pieces or Haikus so this will be one I wait for the user reviews on.
I split my time between Rift Apart and Witcher 3. Yes Witcher 3 after I put 140 hrs or more into it on the Switch. Looking forward to its ps5 upgrade later this year so taking time to get through some of the earlier levels. Rift Apart is such fun and a nice change of pace.
@GKT I'm in the same situation. We're lucky. Red Dead 2 is one I would pickup but I'm also conscious it is huge and I'm thinking of breaking up my open world RPG binge with either a racing or golf game lol
Yeah let's apply some quality control to proceedings and pull Cyberpunk 2077 from the store and allow this pile of dung to be released?? What alternative universe madness is this lol
Getting to the end of Act 2 in Tsushima. I did try out Rift Apart and before I knew it 3 hours had gone by lol so much fun to play and utterly gorgeous. But I'll finish Tsushima first and then get really stuck into Rift Apart.
Can't see myself picking this up yet but I missed last gen, so I've been playing GoW, Zero Dawn, GoT and now got Ratchet tomorrow plus picked up Witcher 3 on the cheap in anticipation of that upgrade later this year. I'm a star wars fan but I have to be picky about where I put my limited playtime lol
I'm gonna go with Fidelity first up. I'm one of those that doesn't really notice FR differences, so maybe Performance RT second time around. But I want the eye candy I paid for gosh darnit
Well it came from Twitter, so already it's high on the Troll scale and low on the scale of significance. I think her character model is fine and the proposed fan alternative is not suitable and thankfully we won't get that one.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Coming This November for PS5, PS4
So Covid means most people that can work on new games are in limbo and we're largely left with those that can upgrade old stuff huh...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
Played some Shadow of the Tomb Raider while I wait for a racing wheel stand to arrive and get stuck into WRC9.
My ps5 is under recording my playing time on these Tomb Raider games in a big way. Weird and the only games it has happened with so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
Ended up completing Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Really enjoyed it.
Started Shadow of the Tomb Raider and that seems even better.

Re: Sony Rolling Out PS5 Internal SSD Access in Next Beta Update
Probably a 1TB option for me when I need it down the line, I just can't ever see myself remortgaging the house for that 4TB behemoth lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 386
I ended up pouring hours into the Frozen Wilds expansion. Loved it, some right nasty machines those Fireclaws!
Now debating whether to pick up PGA 2K21 or the entire Tomb Raider definitive trilogy on sale...leaning towards Tomb Raider.

Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Patch 1.002 Adds 40FPS Mode for 120Hz TVs

Thankfully no damage done
