Thoroughly enjoyed this, one of my favourite games this generation. Absolutely loved the story, it really engaged me and I went out my way to find more lore in game and I hardly ever do that.
When you finally buy a game in the Black Friday sale, don’t play it, then see it cheaper at xmas. Cue desperate need to play games over the next 2 days to validate purchases to myself!
This is a real killer for me in games. So often I load something up and can’t read any of the menus or text because of the size. Great if you are right in front of a screen on pc but not when your tv is across the room.
The only way I’d play this game now would be on ps plus, but I’d still be mad it took the place of a decent game. BioWare should be utterly ashamed of themselves, and the only life they have left in it now is to see who can screw up their company more - them or Bethesda with Fallout.
Sounds like a 70 hour movie with fetch quests and inventory micro-management. Just read a few other reviews, honestly for me it just sounds rather tedious on the whole, I don’t have time for that.
@CountFunkula78 Clearly I don’t speak for all of Europe, but you’re wrong if you think Baseball is popular in Europe.
Source: lived and worked all over Europe for 20 years. Never heard anyone mention baseball, or play baseball, never seen a baseball pitch, never seen baseball on TV.
The comments here have confused me a bit - so can I take my controller out the house and use it with my phone? Or can I use it with my controller and my phone just in a different room? Basically just want to use a controller and my phone mostly downstairs from my console, but also on occasion take it to the in-laws house to use!
@Peach64 and Warframe too. Props to the developers for carrying on after a bad launch. I’m glad of these sorts of success stories, it means devs know they can actually work hard to make their original visions come true and still be successful.
I’m just not bothered about a trailer unless it has gameplay in it. Anyone can make a cool trailer but if it shows nothing about a game then what good is it? The Avengers trailer could be for a Card game and you wouldn’t know it.
Bit disappointed to be honest, I can still see it taking years. I’d rather just buy them all when the last one comes out so I can play the proper whole story in one go.
Previously thought it looked a bit crap, but great trailer and the story looks like it will be amazing so I’m interested now. Calling it a completely new type of action game’ is a stretch though, the gameplay segments themselves look on the boring to average side.
Just playing Before the Storm at the moment years after playing the first one, surprising how much I remembered, and what a punch the first one had. Will definitely pick this up but just not interested until it’s all out and finished so I can play it all at once.
They can argue about truth or fact reports and statements all they want but the fact if the matter is they made a terrible game, so someone has to be accountable for that. For a game studio that has a rich history of great games, they need to be looking at the honest reasons why they made such a stinker if they want a future in the industry.
Boosters overheat and need to cool meaning you have to stop flying? I thought flying was meant to be one of the fun parts, why not make them so they never overheat in the first place? It’s like game companies forgot how to make fun things in their games anymore.

Re: PS Plus March 2020 PS4 Games Announced
I liked it when I first played it 15 years ago! Would have preferred Last Guardian. I’ll definitely play Sonic!
Re: Amazing The Last of Us 2 PS4 Theme Changes from Day to Night in Real Time, Is Free with These Codes
Just grabbed it on the website and downloaded it already so it’ll be ready for me when I get home! Looking forward to this.

@Arugula a Plague Tale is great, it’s a really good story.

@wiiware me too, just started Turf Wars.
Re: PS Plus February 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Damn, really wanted Crash but really dislike Bioshock and Sims. My upside down frown was turned back down
Re: Detroit: Become Human Dev Quantic Dream Has 'a Lot of Surprises' Planned for 2020
Detroit was amazing but it doesn’t need a sequel. Would love a new IP!
Re: Game of the Decade: Grand Theft Auto V Set the Precedent for Persistent Online Worlds
Weird to think the GTAV lifespan will be longer than the birth and replacement of the PS4.

Re: Game of the Decade: Destiny Paved the Way for Games as a Service
It’s great, but it’s no Warframe.
Re: Death Stranding User Score Spikes as Metacritic Removes Over 6000 Negative Ratings
Bias or not, it’s still someone’s opinion that has been taken away because someone else doesn’t agree with it. That’s a slippery slope.
Re: The Outer Worlds Text Size Patch Isn't Enough to Stop Players Squinting

Re: Tekken 7 Patch Addresses Overpowered Akuma Ahead of World Tour Finals
Anyone who has never watched a competitive tournament like this should give it a go, it’s intense and amazing to watch!
Re: Xbox's New 'Surprise Me' Button Would Be a Great Addition to PS4
Suprise!
Randomly selects games with new DLC just out
Re: ANTHEM's New Mass Effect Skins are Probably the Coolest Things in the Game at This Point
The only way I’d play this game now would be on ps plus, but I’d still be mad it took the place of a decent game. BioWare should be utterly ashamed of themselves, and the only life they have left in it now is to see who can screw up their company more - them or Bethesda with Fallout.
Re: Death Stranding Achieves a Rare Perfect Score from Japanese Bible Famitsu
I don’t get how it gets a ‘perfect’ score when most reviews say ‘it’s quite boring in the middle’. Doesn’t scream perfect to me.

Re: Talking Point: What Free November 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
At this rate WWE 2K20 and Fallout 76 because why the heck not.
Re: Fallout 1st Is a Premium Membership for Fallout 76, Costs $100 a Year
Would be genuinely interested to see the number of take up on this, but I doubt they’d ever release those figures.

Re: PS Plus October 2019 PS4 Games Announced
Meh. In Europe so nobody is bothered about baseball in the slightest and obviously already played TLOU like everyone else.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the New Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay?
Bit less hyped. Bit sad. Just expecting a bit more action type stuff?
Re: PS Plus September 2019 PS4 Games Announced
Both on my To Buy list. Happy with that! DS3 was pretty recent as well, so good choices.
Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Introduces Multiplayer Social Space, the Nexus
@Peach64 and Warframe too. Props to the developers for carrying on after a bad launch. I’m glad of these sorts of success stories, it means devs know they can actually work hard to make their original visions come true and still be successful.
Re: PS Plus August 2019 PS4 Games Announced
Oh yes! More than happy with this, they were both on my wish list and I’ve almost bought them both in sales recently. Great month!
Re: Talking Point: What Free August 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Lost Legacy would be nice, still not played it!
Re: Guide: 15 Things You Might Not Know Your PS4 Can Do
So I can swap between Spotify and a game but double tapping PS button?? I’m so excited right now and I’m not even joking!
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Comes to PS4, with a Helping Hand from LittleBigPlanet 3
@Neolit now I want Will it Blend in Dreams.
Re: PS Plus July 2019 PS4 Games Announced
Wow. Actually looked up the news on another site just to make sure this wasn’t some sort of joke. Awful month.

Re: Game of Thrones Author Really Is Teaming Up with Dark Souls Developer, It Seems
@NintendoFan4Lyf Looking forward to getting 80% of the way through the storyline before it stops because he couldn’t be bothered to finish it.

Re: Life Is Strange 2's Latest Episode Has a New Trailer
Just playing Before the Storm at the moment years after playing the first one, surprising how much I remembered, and what a punch the first one had. Will definitely pick this up but just not interested until it’s all out and finished so I can play it all at once.
Re: Soapbox: Mortal Kombat 11's Devs Have Missed the Point of the Loot Box Discussion
Here’s an idea. Developers stay away from anything that could remotely considered a loot box in any form and just make a good game.
Re: Cel-Shaded Shooter XIII Returns 13th November on PS4
Great game! Terrible trailer.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Officially Unveiled with Debut Story Trailer
Yeah it looks cool but as a trailer for a game, it doesn’t really show you anything about how it plays, so bit of a waste of time.
Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Sold Over Two Million Copies in 10 Days
Gave it a good try as everyone is raving, but not for me, I thought it was pretty poor and felt like a step back.
Re: Electropop Band CHVRCHES Has 'No Idea' How Kojima Will Make Death Stranding Work
Bored of this now. Fully expecting a 50 hour movie involving a series of QTEs that nobody understands.

@NoCode23 bets placed for Tiny Tina being one of the playable characters.

Re: Kojima Plays Death Stranding on PS4 Every Day
Just got a feeling this is going to be the most overrated and overhyped game ever and it’s going to be awful
Re: Hands On: A Complete Package at Launch, The Division 2 Puts Its Looter Shooter Competition to Shame
Is it just PvP or is it mainly PvE co-op? I wish more games just did PvE with randoms for quick missions.
Re: New Sniper Elite in Development, But No News for a Year
Such a great underrated series. Awesome news!
