I like it a lot, but like most horror games I can only play in short bursts before I start feeling stressed out. As a big Alien franchise fan, though, I couldn't have asked for much more.
Finally plowing through Divinity: Original Sin. Unrelated!: Has anyone been able to preorder the Deluxe edition of Planet Coaster for PS5? I haven't found any evidence that it actually exists.
I have to be honest, this is the first really exciting thing I've seen from this game. And to be clear, I love Miles and think he deserves his own designed-from-the-ground-up outing rather than an offshoot of Pete's game.
That actually sucks, because I'm pretty much done with it. Played the campaign, which I did NOT get my trophy for, and regularly get trashed by lifers in the dogfights, so yeah. Sorry I bought digital this time.
Eh. I've already been through Vampyr (not bad, but I had to play on the easiest setting to get any enjoyment out of it) and have zero interest in NFS (especially one rated so terribly). This month is a miss for me, but I'm clearing out my backlog in preparation for Watch Dogs Legion and Cyberpunk, so that's fine.
I have a million and one things to play right now, and $40 is a little steep, but I'll definitely pick this up during some distant sale. I loved II and thought III was a bore, but I never actually played the original.
I picked one up from Wal-Mart Thursday evening, but I may switch over to Amazon if I see one available. For some reason I trust them more to actually deliver on launch day.
@Oriion You're kidding. I wonder how they choose? The PlayStation ID I submitted is 13+ years old, I'm obviously a longtime customer. This is probably my last shot at getting one pre-ordered.
@Turbodream I'm sure it was originally intentional, it's a very well known quote. Which makes it more eye-rollingly silly that Monster Energy would make a big deal of it.
"To a new world of Gods and Monsters," was a line from 1935's Bride of Frankenstein. There was also a movie of that title about Bride's director James Whale. It's ridiculous to think anyone would confuse it with an energy drink...
I loved Until Dawn, and Man of Medan was a decent rental during a promotional $1 Gamefly month. I'll pick this up on the cheap one day, but I don't think they're going to be able to recapture the fun and tension of that first game.
I'll pick it up when it's sub-$30 for Kamala, though the endless onslaught of robots is disappointing. I even got tired of fighting them in the beta. The call of cosmetics would have had me more interested in the multiplayer, honestly. That truly was a dumb decision.
I just got mine. I had to wait in the online chat line for about 30 minutes (at work!) but once they were on it was quick and easy. The avatars look fantastic!
I'm dropping Now when my sub is up in a week. Having the same games pop up on both services is a waste of money, and I'm a little dumbfounded at how they don't see that.
Chakrams were the way to go. The combat was fantastic, but the story and quests were boring, so I never actually finished KoA the first time around. I am willing to take another shot.

Re: Sony Admits Not Everyone Will Be Able to Get PS5 At Launch
I still worry that Wal-Mart is going to cancel my pre-order out of the blue. Just two more weeks...
Re: Alien Isolation Fans, This Is the Documentary For You

Re: Mark Wahlberg Gives Us Our First Glimpse of Sully in the Uncharted Movie
We have moustache, people. Is it okay for me to be cautiously optimistic about this one?
Re: Talking Point: What Free November 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Night in the Woods. Dex. Frostpunk. Bloodstained.
Re: Godfall's Loot and Upgrade Systems Detailed with New Video
Very curious about this one. That water, lavafall and cookie cutter foliage, though. Woof.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Creative Director Explains Differences Between PS5 and PS4 Versions
I'm planning on picking up Miles on PS5 day one, then blowing through it in a week so I can dig into Cyberpunk.
Re: PS Camera Adaptor for PS5 Included with New Japanese PSVR Bundles
Oof, how much is this going to cost me? 😬
Re: Have a Gander at the New PS Store for Web Browsers
I like it, but I also like the look of the new system so apparently I'm a crazy person.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 346
Finally plowing through Divinity: Original Sin. Unrelated!: Has anyone been able to preorder the Deluxe edition of Planet Coaster for PS5? I haven't found any evidence that it actually exists.
Re: Dress to Impress in Cyberpunk 2077
I absolutely cannot wait for this. I've been trying to keep my expectations from skyrocketing, but I give up.

@get2sammyb 😒
Re: Rain Gameplay in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Will Make You Wet
That unnecessary headline though. Don't commenters usually get a talking to about this being a family accessible site?
Re: Here's Your First Look at the PS5 UI
Damn, that is slick. I love all of the progress info that's instantly available.
Re: Spider-Cat Is the Reason to Buy Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
I have to be honest, this is the first really exciting thing I've seen from this game. And to be clear, I love Miles and think he deserves his own designed-from-the-ground-up outing rather than an offshoot of Pete's game.
Re: Here Is the First Ever PS5 Game, Hot Off the Press
Why did I think the cases were black...?
Re: Planet Coaster Takes a Ride to PS5 At Launch
@ThaBEN Same! I don't see a Deluxe anywhere, or even mention of one besides here. It's definitely the version I want if it exists.
Re: Planet Coaster Takes a Ride to PS5 At Launch
Oh man, I'm going to have to add this to my Day One haul. Sorry, wallet.
Re: PlayStation Store Halloween Sale Has Some Spooktastic PS4 Deals
@bremkat34 Not at that price. It's a massive step down from Until Dawn.
Re: New Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 Gameplay Shows Off Epic Boss Fight
I'll play it, but it looks pretty samey and not at all next gen to me.
Re: Don't Expect Star Wars: Squadrons to Get Any Post-Launch Content
That actually sucks, because I'm pretty much done with it. Played the campaign, which I did NOT get my trophy for, and regularly get trashed by lifers in the dogfights, so yeah. Sorry I bought digital this time.
Re: Leaked Cyberpunk 2077 Map Reveals the Whole of Night City
Isn't this the same map that's been widely available in The World of Cyberpunk art book for months?
Re: PS Plus October 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Eh. I've already been through Vampyr (not bad, but I had to play on the easiest setting to get any enjoyment out of it) and have zero interest in NFS (especially one rated so terribly). This month is a miss for me, but I'm clearing out my backlog in preparation for Watch Dogs Legion and Cyberpunk, so that's fine.
Re: PS5's Stray Shares New Story and Gameplay Details
Cats and cyberpunk automatons. I'm so down for this.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Looks Way More Polished in New Story Trailer
I'm still a little burned out on the formula after the epic Odyssey, but I'll definitely pick this up sometime next year.
Re: Mafia: Definitive Edition - This Is How You Do a Remake
I have a million and one things to play right now, and $40 is a little steep, but I'll definitely pick this up during some distant sale. I loved II and thought III was a bore, but I never actually played the original.
Re: Reaction: Bethesda Acquisition Is a Kick in the Balls for PS5, But Sony's Goals Won't Change
@DrJames This! If anything was ever going to make me consider another Xbox, it's these three companies disappearing from PlayStation.
Re: Your Marvel's Spider-Man Saves Can't Be Carried Over to the PS5 Remaster
Nope. I've been through it twice, not starting from scratch for visual upgrades.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Main Story Is 'Slightly Shorter' Than The Witcher 3's Because Players Complained About Length
This is fine! I'll play through it at least 3 times, and it's good if that doesn't take several years.
Re: Sony Apologises for PS5 Pre-Order Panic, More to Be Made Available
I picked one up from Wal-Mart Thursday evening, but I may switch over to Amazon if I see one available. For some reason I trust them more to actually deliver on launch day.
Re: Poll: Will You Buy a PS5?
@EVIL-C Then why not cancel at least one of them and let someone who's actually excited have a go?
Re: Poll: Will You Buy a PS5?
@Oriion You're kidding. I wonder how they choose? The PlayStation ID I submitted is 13+ years old, I'm obviously a longtime customer. This is probably my last shot at getting one pre-ordered.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Has Been Completely Remastered for PS5
Cool, but I've already been through it twice and can't see doing it again. I still need the last couple of DLC Screwball trophies, but I refuse.
Re: PS5 Pre-Order Situation Is a Mess as Sony Sends Unclear Statement and Retailers Open Early
So frustrating! This had better not be all of the launch stock. Guatantee eBay will be flooded with pre-orders from scalpers in the next 24 hours.
Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Showcase Event Deliver?
FFXVI and Hogwarts Legacy were nice surprises and I got a price and date. More than satisfied. Now about the preorder info...
Re: PS5 Price, Release Date Confirmed: 12th November in Most Regions, $499 Standard, $399 Digital
@kyleforrester87 I was refreshing Amazon just in case it was going to pop up. Give it to meeeee!
Re: Twin Mirror Shows How Strange Life Is from 1st December
Will play, but I'm still salty over missing out on Tell Me Why.
Re: Gods & Monsters Name Changed to Immortals Fenyx Rising Following Opposition from Monster Energy, Apparently
@Turbodream I'm sure it was originally intentional, it's a very well known quote. Which makes it more eye-rollingly silly that Monster Energy would make a big deal of it.

Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
They definitely need to lock in the release date and price on Wednesday before people really start getting antsy after this news.
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Lands on PS5, PS4 3rd December, First Look at Gameplay
Bad art direction and terrible title change have completely put me off this game. It'll have to have some amazing reviews for me to take another look.
Re: Hands On: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Has a Game-Breaking Bug and Crashing Issues on PS4
Ugh. I guess I'll be returning my copy right back to Amazon when it arrives tomorrow.
Re: Hands On: Dark Pictures: Little Hope Is More of the Same in Massachusetts
I loved Until Dawn, and Man of Medan was a decent rental during a promotional $1 Gamefly month. I'll pick this up on the cheap one day, but I don't think they're going to be able to recapture the fun and tension of that first game.
Re: Marvel's Avengers - Crystal Dynamics' Heroic Risk Is a Game of Two Halves
I'll pick it up when it's sub-$30 for Kamala, though the endless onslaught of robots is disappointing. I even got tired of fighting them in the beta. The call of cosmetics would have had me more interested in the multiplayer, honestly. That truly was a dumb decision.
Re: Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series - Star Wars and VR Are Made for Each Other
I enjoyed the hell out of the story — it felt like a theme park ride — and my son loves the lightsaber dojo, and kills at it.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Players Are Having to Chat to PlayStation Support to Unlock Free Avatar Bundles
I just got mine. I had to wait in the online chat line for about 30 minutes (at work!) but once they were on it was quick and easy. The avatars look fantastic!
Re: PlayStation Store Essential Picks Sale Discounts Some of PS4's Best Games
@Nightcrawler71 It was just on sale over the weekend (at least in the US), but that ended Sunday. It was $45 for the deluxe.
Re: PS Now September 2020 Update Adds Resident Evil 7, Final Fantasy XV, More
Resident Evil 7 and Observation confirmed for PS Plus October...
Re: Rumour: Taiwan Rating Suggests Gods & Monsters Renamed to Immortals: Fenyx Rising
This is a hugely stupid name change. Sounds like a cheap phone game.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With You PS Plus Games for September 2020?
I'm dropping Now when my sub is up in a week. Having the same games pop up on both services is a waste of money, and I'm a little dumbfounded at how they don't see that.
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning's First Gameplay Trailer Arrives Just Over a Week from Launch
