After finishing Ghost Recon Breakpoint, I went back to try Wildlands but it was too much jank at 30fps. Sad times. So instead I started Two Point Campus and having a great time with that! Will continue (mis)educating the digital masses with that.
Pleasantly surprised to find this is £40 on the store. Bargain! The first Coaster and Zoo are excellent sims so expecting the same greatness from this one.
I don’t really get Betas like this. Who is it for? Die hard fans will want to play it, but why give them a sub-par impression with a rubbish build? Surely they’ll want the best experience of a full game?
Anyone mildly interested will play the awful build and not want to pay for the full game.
Anyone not interested will just ignore this and the full game anyway.
I’d take a Resistence remake, but a remaster of something new like Horizon or Days Gone is just silly, what’s the point when the existing games still look and play great??
Tbh I’d have one of those mugs as a cool collectors items. In a few years we’ll all look back at Concord with fondness when it goes full circle and becomes retro niche.
My update has broken my controller, says I can’t update it as it’s too low battery, even though it’s fully charged. Can’t update it when plugged in. Because it won’t let me use the controller and I only have one, I can’t use it at all!
It’s very fun and the matches can be pretty tense, especially if it’s close at the end and a snitch could swing the game. Chaser and then Seeker is great, the other 2 roles less so, but I’m really surprised with the whole package. Perfect Plus game.
Might have been a good game and shame it didn’t get a sequel, but maybe a good thing Sony aren’t working with him now if he’s going to be a *** about it. Its these types of personalities that end up promoting those toxic environments you see cropping up so often.
This looks beyond awful and about as low effort as they could have imagined. Jack Black is completely overplayed now. I asked my 10 year old (who loves Minecraft) and his response was ‘No, just no. Why is Steve an old guy with a beard? Why couldn’t they have made it animated like Mario’
Having not played Skyrim since it was first released on PS3, I have revisited the special edition on PS5 to explore it once more. Some of it is quite dated, but it’s still an impressive and immersive game.
Loved all the games but 3 and Wonderlands dip a lot, so they need to do something to improve it and not just more of the same (which I’d be happy with but still)
There has been nothing good involving Indiana Jones for the past 25 years, so I’m not expecting this to be any different. The 4th and 5th film wounded me deeply!
@IamJT That’s not how these internet people work! There will be people playing something like First Descedant for 500 hours without spending anything, and then complain it’s not good and there’s no real endgame content.

Re: Survive in Style with Forever Skies Demo's PS5 Exclusive Airship Skin
Looks great, will try it for sure.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 554
Still educating the masses on Two Point Campus and getting all the 3-stars. Great game.
Re: Nintendo and The Pokémon Company Want to Stop the Sale of Palworld
You use ‘Pal Spheres’ to catch monsters? Legally they might be alright but come on, that’s Pokemon all over right?
Re: MultiVersus Underperforms, Another $100 Million Blow for Warner Bros
Multiversus just plays like a demo. It’s not a full game, so I’m not spending any money on it.

Re: Fortnite Mixing It Up with Hip-Hop Chapter 2 Reboot
@AhmadSumadi I don’t know her, and after watching my son doing this ‘event’ last night, I’m feeling pretty lucky I can tell you.
Re: Mini Review: Planet Coaster 2 (PS5) - Improved Sequel Offers a Ride Well Worth Taking

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2024 Announced
Sure I’ve already played Ghostwire and Hot Wheels on the middle plus tier already?? Absolute average I didn’t spend more than an hour on each.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 552
Just finished Ghost Recon Breakpoint which was great, so might go back and try Wildlands to get more of the same.
Re: Sniper Elite: Resistance Gets 2025 Off to a Flyer with January Release Date
Love these games. They don’t mess with the formula and you know exactly what you’re getting. Solid purchase!
Re: Horizon's Sylens Will Be Recast Following the Passing of Lance Reddick
Just watching Vox Machina and being reminded what a great actor he was. Iconic voice.
Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Would You Rate Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5?
I really liked it but it’s about as good it could get, not sure where they can take it now other than more of the same.
The web wings but were too much, spent the entire game gliding and not swinging.
People love the idea of Venom, but nobody likes any representation of him in any media other than comics.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 551
I am playing through Ghost Recon Breakpoint which is fun, but my stealth approach inevitably goes south and it escalates with grenade launchers.
Re: PS5's New Welcome Page Rolling Out to UK Accounts
Mine showed up today at lunchtime. Mostly clutter but there are a few nice things on there.
Re: Amazon MMO New World: Aeternum Out Now on PS5
Playing Throne and Liberty sure put me off wanting to play anything else they published.
Re: Huge List of 18 Major Games to Leave PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Month
Chorus is a shame, it’s probably the best space combat game I’ve ever played.
Superliminal in a great puzzle game too!
Re: The Stone of Madness Starts 2025 Off with Tactical Stealth Action
This looks like it could be excellent if it’s like Desperados/shadow gambit etc
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 550
I’m going to start Life is Strange 2, get my story on.
Re: Ridiculous Visual Novel Date Everything Delayed to the Perfect Release Date on PS5

Re: Concord Devs Tinker with PC Files, Spurring Free-to-Play Speculation
This is it team, the phoenix rises. Concord the Fortnite-killer world domination can be traced back to this moment. Believe.
Re: Classic PS4 Racer DriveClub Is Now a Decade Old
The last great track racing game in my humble opinion, never enjoyed an another track racer as much as this since then.
Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
@ShogunRok and Priority access for those with Knack 2.
Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'
No way this is true, this is just people sticking the knife in.
There’s no way they could have ever spent that amount of money on this game.
Re: Reaction: Why There Are So Many Unnecessary PS5 Remasters for Games That Don't Need Them
I’d take a Resistence remake, but a remaster of something new like Horizon or Days Gone is just silly, what’s the point when the existing games still look and play great??
Re: Minecraft Is Dropping PSVR Support Early Next Year
My son loves playing this in VR. So I guess that’s stopping because… ???
How hard can it be to leave in a mode where you can use VR but it just doesn’t have new features they add.
Re: 10 Major PS5, PS4 Games Are Getting Axed from PS Plus Extra, Including LittleBigPlanet 3
I’d skip the other DQ games and go straight to Builders. The 2nd one in particular is absolute class.
Re: Co-Op Action FPS Warhammer 40k: Darktide Should Finally Be Announced for PS5 Soon
Vermintide was great, looking forward to this as can never get enough 40k.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 546
Started Spider-Man 2 which is just excellent.
Finally fixed my broken controller (after the update) by taking it apart and unplugging the battery which reset it.
Re: You Can't Buy Concord on PS5, PC Anymore, But You Can Buy the Official Merch
Tbh I’d have one of those mugs as a cool collectors items. In a few years we’ll all look back at Concord with fondness when it goes full circle and becomes retro niche.
Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Adds Welcome Hub, Adaptive Controller Charging, Much More
My update has broken my controller, says I can’t update it as it’s too low battery, even though it’s fully charged. Can’t update it when plugged in. Because it won’t let me use the controller and I only have one, I can’t use it at all!
Re: PS5 Pro Reveal Is Already Sony's Most Disliked Console Announcement
You could spend 3k on a new PC and monitor setup just to go on Reddit and moan about something else as well if you wanted to.
It’ll sell regardless, so they know what they are doing with the price tag. Its not meant to be for everyday gamers.
Re: Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Review (PS5) - Magical PS Plus Sporting Sim Is a Winner
It’s very fun and the matches can be pretty tense, especially if it’s close at the end and a snitch could swing the game. Chaser and then Seeker is great, the other 2 roles less so, but I’m really surprised with the whole package. Perfect Plus game.
Re: Days Gone Director Roasts 'Small Game' Astro Bot PS5 for Deacon St John Cameo

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
Vampire Survivors is a bit moreish isn’t it…
Re: Minecraft's Weird Live Action Movie Is Going to Be Massive, Isn't It?
This looks beyond awful and about as low effort as they could have imagined. Jack Black is completely overplayed now. I asked my 10 year old (who loves Minecraft) and his response was ‘No, just no. Why is Steve an old guy with a beard? Why couldn’t they have made it animated like Mario’
And yet I expect it will make millions.
Re: PS Plus Essential Receives 3 New PS5, PS4 Games, All Available Now
Just played an hour of Quidditch - pretty fun!
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Live Service Shooter XDefiant on Brink of Being Shut Down
People who say Concord is bland clearly never played this.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024 Announced
Baseball… really?
Will play the other 2, but I would never buy them, which I think is the best sort of game for this service, so not too bad a month.
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay
I’m not hugely into these types of games but I’m saddened to see they’ve done a good job with a great business model, yet it’s doomed to fail.
In reality if they made this FTP and full of micro transactions, then people would complain endlessly but it would at least have an audience.

Re: TimeSplitters Trilogy Will Ping a Fresh Set of PS5, PS4 Trophies in the Future
Why couldn’t they have just waited and released them WITH trophies. Waited 20 years since they first came out and then release it unfinished.
Re: Sony to Short-Change PS Stars Members with PS Plus Renewals Starting Next Year
I’ve probably got about £25 free from it, so not completely useless. I only ever do the campaigns that get you points to exchange for wallet credit.
But it’s not really fun in any way? Not sure what the point of it is but it is something for nothing so I think it’s ok.
Re: Explore an Apocalyptic Britain in Atomfall on PS5, PS4 Early Next Year
As someone from Southern England, I have of course come here to comment on the fact that the North is already dystopian.
But looks good! I am always up for more games voiced by characters that share my ‘funny’ accent 😂
Re: Free-to-Play MOBA Predecessor Is Now Available on PS5
Mine is showing as just a beta, so no trophies.
Just downloaded and ok, seems quite light though.
Re: Borderlands 4 Announced, Coming to PS5 in 2025
Loved all the games but 3 and Wonderlands dip a lot, so they need to do something to improve it and not just more of the same (which I’d be happy with but still)
Or just bring back the Handsome One!
Re: Rumour: Xbox's Indiana Jones Game Coming to PS5 in First Half 2025
@DennisReynolds The Golden God speaks! Ah I forgot them, I stand corrected.
I am just bitter about the films!!
