Hope they get back on form with this one, would be good to have options and hopefully EA and 2k can push each other... Might be wishful thinking though
Spent the last couple of days wiped out and in bed with tonsillitis.
Feeling better today, I'm on the home stretch with Cyberpunk so finishing that, just downloaded Frost Punk and the season pass (on sale, too cheap to pass up and I love that game).
Have been playing a bit of F.I.S.T over the past week but given up on that, just not vibing with it.
So, finish Cyberpunk, then on to one of Kena, Lost In Random, Death Loop with a little Frost Punk mixed in. Or I might just batter into GTAV properly (again).
Should get back to GT7 but I'm a bit peed off with the whole poop show over the last few days so that can wait just now.
Also, the temptation is there to pick up Elden Ring, although I'm not a fan of Souls games this one does sound amazing and more accessible... But I've got too much to play so I really should just wait for a sale and play what I've got.
I have no interest in Harry Potter however this had me tempted until I seen the combat which looks like it lacks something. Couldn't help but notice a few enemies but you seemed to be fighting one at a time.
It stood out enough to me to be quite jarring.
I'll see how it reviews an probably pick it up once it's on sale.
@themightyant I totally get you on this, the story on the whole was good, great in parts and slow in others... It probably could have been trimmed down.
Anyway, as @Titntin says above, easy £8.75 to spend despite already completing it on the PS3, PS4 and the XBOne.
Started it on Fidelity mode, switched to Performance and now can't go back. Perf mode is silky as you like and still looks good for what it is.
I'll drop in and out, no great urge to batter through it as my main game, but it's fun enough to jump in and out of. Online can take hike, won't be going back to that despite it being free, past experiences have soured me on that.
I said Rockstar weren't getting anymore from me for this one but a tenner... I'm buying if it's that. And you know what, I'll probably even prioritise it over my backlog and complete it again.
Sat with this for a few hours this morning, quite like the Music Rally, quite a fun feature. Otherwise just done my B license and done a couple of GT Cafe menus.
Will tear into it proper later today but from what I played, it's good fun and took me back to the GT of old.
Well to be honest I've not played either, I didn't like HZD, found it boring as sin, I've never got along with soulsborne games and reviews have done nothing to convince me that the newest iterations would be any different. So I've not bought either of them.
But yeah, why can't people just like what they like and get on with enjoying their games?
Really tempted to pick up Scarlett Nexus but I just picked up Kena and Deathloop yesterday, planning in getting sifu and GT next week, am still playing Cyberpunk, got P5S to start, still can't stop tinkering with Planet Coaster.
I'm almost (as usual) getting sucked in by the hype here but it's not one for me.
I've tried Demons Souls (original), Dark Souls and Bloodborne and I've not gotten along with any of them. But still I read the hype and comments and feel like I should get this.
But I won't. Glad the reviews are looking top notch and have fun if your getting it, look great
Said a few times here, I bought it cheap, played a couple of hours and liked it enough, issues aside.
Was really hoping they would knock it out the park but to me... They've kinda not went the extra mile that I thought they would. I dunno what else I would have liked to have seen to be honest but this just seems like what should be the minimum expected.
Maybe I'm being harsh, I dunno.
It's downloading, I'll fire it up but I'm keeping the expectations low.

Games I haven't played would be nice, so as I can add them to the pile of games I haven't played
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Currency Rewards to Be Increased Following Player Backlash
Selling cars 👍
Endurance races 👍
Rebalanced economy 👍
Number of events increased 👍
Looks like plenty of improvements should be seen by the end of next month. Fingers crossed.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Gran Turismo 7?
As it stands, 6.
It's a good racer, graphics are decent. It's far from a sim IMO.
It would have been higher but you f... about with a major part of the mechanics after the review period and well, it deserves a point deducted.
Maybe it will be amended again, maybe more tracks/races/events will be added to make it feel less samey, I would adjust my score based on that.
But as it stands, a 6 for me.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Fans Left Wondering If the Game's Still Getting Two Expansions
@LowTech yeah, I might have not been so forgiving had I paid full price and had to suffer the game in its launch state. Can feel your pain there
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Fans Fight Controversial Currency Nerfs with PS5, PS4 Farming Exploits
Let's be honest, someone would have done this anyway without all the drama from the last few days.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Fans Left Wondering If the Game's Still Getting Two Expansions
I'm not honestly too bothered, can't see me buying. Completed it at the weekend and to be honest, I can't see me going back to it.
It was a fine game, story was decent, not on par with The Witcher 3 but good enough.
By the end though, I felt like I had spent enough time with it to be satisfied that I am done with it.
For the £20 I paid it was a solid pickup.
Onto the next Witcher game!
Re: New Witcher Game Announced, Developed on Unreal Engine 5
Exciting!
But only if they release it when it's ready.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) - Not the Bethesda Swansong We Hoped For

Was hoping it would be a smash

Re: Trek to Yomi Trailer Shows Off Brutal Side-Scrolling Combat

Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Has Been Offline All Day
Not a good day for GT7, extremely disappointing.

Re: New Gran Turismo 7 Patch Lowers Currency Rewards, Fuelling More Microtransaction Criticism
Can I go back to the rate PS5 games article and change my score? 😂
Re: New Gran Turismo 7 Patch Lowers Currency Rewards, Fuelling More Microtransaction Criticism
Can't say I'm best pleased with this at all.
I was fine in that I didn't feel the need to use MTX. Now though, they've changed the goalposts after we've dropped our hard earned on the game.
Sorry but IMO that ain't on.

I could lie and say I'm gonna finish Cyberpunk like I said last weekend but what's the point, I'll be on GT7 for most of my free time this weekend.
Re: Poll: We Want You to Rate Your Favourite PS5 Games

Re: All the Games Included in TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection on PS5, PS4

Re: Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.06 Is Available Now, Here Are the Patch Notes
@Amnesiac bag in how I feel about it. I can't out it down, such a great game.
Re: Have a Contractually Obligated Ghostwire Tokyo Trailer
I'll pick it up at some point, looks quite interesting.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's Latest State of Play?
Good few I'll be keeping an eye on, and of course TMNT!
Interested to see the reviews of Ghost Wire, probably pick that up down the line.
Re: PS Store Indies Sale Offers Discounts on Over a Thousand PS5, PS4 Games
Tempted to pick up Frost Punk and the season pass, been a while since I played that.
But I've got so much to play and now GTAV next week.
Decisions, decisions.

In at that price
Re: GTA 5 PS5 Price Is Looking Surprisingly Generous
I said Rockstar weren't getting anymore from me for this one but a tenner... I'm buying if it's that. And you know what, I'll probably even prioritise it over my backlog and complete it again.
Damn Rockstar!
Re: UK Sales Charts: Gran Turismo 7 Races Past Elden Ring for Number One Debut
@Kidfunkadelic83 bang on, my only change would be a qualifying lap rather than rolling starts in last.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Gran Turismo 7 Races Past Elden Ring for Number One Debut
@Mostik I'm exactly the same, I always just do one more race, one more menu and lose hours.
Great game, deserves the #1 spot
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 416
Said I was gonna play Cyberpunk and GT7.
Said I was gonna try to complete Cyberpunk then maybe start something new, along side GT7.
Didn't play Cyberpunk. Absolutely hooked on GT7. Got all my licences and now going back to get gold on the lessons I haven't got gold on.
Also completed the 1st two sets on missions but also going over these to pick up all the golds.
Totally loving this game at the minute.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 416
God knows, I've treated myself over the past couple of weeks so have gone and gave myself too much to play.
Most likely try to finish off Cyberpunk, crack on with GT7 and if I finish Cyberpunk, then I'll get started on a new game of... Something
Re: GTA 5 on PS5 Features Three Visual Modes, Faster Loading, Enhanced Graphics, Much More
If there's a free upgrade (probably not likely) I'll give it a bash.
Otherwise, been there done that, more times that I care to remember, and don't fancy forking out again.
Re: This Dramatic Thai Ad for Elden Ring Has to Be Seen to Be Believed
Wish our ads were as bizarre as this
Re: Gran Turismo 7's New Approach to Microtransactions Isn't Going Down Well
Not something that I will buy, I'll just play the game and try to get the credits for what I need.
I've put about 8 hours in so far and at no point do they feel forced upon you IMO.
Re: Where to Buy Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, PS4
Pre ordered after the reviews, jumped on a midnight and before I knew it, it was 3am.
Back playing just now and loving it, it's been a while since I played GT and this took me right back.
Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Updates to Add Cars, Courses, and So Much More
Sat with this for a few hours this morning, quite like the Music Rally, quite a fun feature. Otherwise just done my B license and done a couple of GT Cafe menus.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) - The Real Driving Simulator Makes Its Grand Return
In a month full of big games, none of which have taken my interest, this is what I have been waiting for. Can't wait until Friday.
Great review, got me looking forward to it all the more!
Re: PS Store Essential Picks Sale Offers Hundreds of PS5, PS4 Discounts
Think I'm gonna pick up FIST and Lost in Random whilst they have a little off them.
And GT7 this week as well.
Gonna need to find some hours 😂
Re: Soapbox: It's Okay to Enjoy Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West
I don't like either is that ok?
Well to be honest I've not played either, I didn't like HZD, found it boring as sin, I've never got along with soulsborne games and reviews have done nothing to convince me that the newest iterations would be any different. So I've not bought either of them.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Shipping a Week Before Launch
Wasn't going to but I'm gonna pick this up I think.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend - Issue 415
Cyberpunk and Sackboy for me this weekend, tempted to start Kena and Deathloop but I'll wait.
Re: Rafts of PS5, PS4 Games Discounted in Big in Japan Sale
Really tempted to pick up Scarlett Nexus but I just picked up Kena and Deathloop yesterday, planning in getting sifu and GT next week, am still playing Cyberpunk, got P5S to start, still can't stop tinkering with Planet Coaster.
So no I probably don't need that right now.
Sure it will go on sale another time...
Re: Round Up: Elden Ring PS5, PS4 Reviews Crown One of the Best Games of All Time
I'm almost (as usual) getting sucked in by the hype here but it's not one for me.
I've tried Demons Souls (original), Dark Souls and Bloodborne and I've not gotten along with any of them. But still I read the hype and comments and feel like I should get this.
But I won't. Glad the reviews are looking top notch and have fun if your getting it, look great
Re: PS Plus March 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Got STR on the switch
GoT Online doesn't interest me, neither does Ark but I might give them both a bash.
GTA Online, been there, done that
Ghostrunner I'll defo download and try at some point.
Still wrapped up in Planet Coaster and Cyberpunk, and got a few games I'm gonna pick up over the next couple of weeks.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for March 2022 Potentially Leaked
Already got team Sonic, GTA online I have up on back when I was in my 20s, ARK I would maybe give a bash.
Not great though.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Version Almost Certainly Launching Today
Picked this up cheap at the end of last year, played a couple of hours and white.enjoyed it. Obvious, glaring issues though.
If the PS5 patch brings it up to scratch and I can get it today that'll do nicely.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 413
Planet Coaster has sucked me in so I'll probably spend an insane amount of time fiddling with my park.
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Officially Confirmed for PS4, Master Splinter Gameplay Debuted
Man that video took me right back to the TMNT game on the Mega Drive.
Looking forward to it, not often I'll day one a game but this could be a day one for me.
Re: Latest PS Store Sale Includes Loads of PS5, PS4 DLC
@Kidfunkadelic83 thanks bud, good to know. Had a blast with it today so will probably pick some up
