I've parked my GTA San Andreas playthrough for the time being, since it's leaving Plus. I've picked up Eiyuden Chronicle again and I'm enjoying refamiliarising myself with it.

Also Wo Long and the Dark Souls run continue in the background

Oh they removed it intentionally? I assumed it was a glitch

Started Wo Long this week, what a game.

Also Dark Souls and The Crew Motorfest.

A Saturn and Dreamcast compilation would be amazing

Thing is, this isn't going to change much. Those of us who buy a Pro aren't buying it to play Bloodborne. Those of us who aren't convinced will remain so.

And those us who pray for a Bloodborne remaster will continue to weep into our Lady Maria-themed mugs every morning over breakfast at the lastest kick in the teeth.

I've been assuring my youngest for months that Hot Wheels 2 will pop up on Plus. Relief is my main emotion

The Crew Motorfest, Dark Souls 1 and GTA San Andreas. Enjoying all three immensely, and I might start Wo Long this weekend as well

Bought The Crew Motorfest on a whim after my youngest kept mithering to get it. It's ace

My mate and I always play through these in co-op, this will be mo different. Always guaranteed a laugh.

The big question though, where is Karl Fairburne? Is this the series' Raiden/Snake moment??

Please stop remaking things now

@DonJorginho Interesting to see 'pissing' slip through the net there.

Noted for future use.

I can see why people might be tiring of them, but for me they've been one of the best things about this gen

Yes I've been using it to remind me how good the PS4's UI was

Only Ubisoft could get in trouble for referencing a disaster that didn't happen until centuries after the game's setting. I'm surprised they've not made a statue of Desmond legging it around Pearl Harbour

Ouch, some heavy losses there

@Throb Same here, my youngest loves it!

@get2sammyb The thumbnail on your article clearly shows the problem - that looks like one of the PS5 Pros has escaped. How many more have Argos accidentally let loose?

Excellent review, thanks. Wasn't aware of this one. On the list it goes

Five out of ten and a couple were guesses. I thought this one was quite tricky

@Northern_munkey I've only played Man of Medan and it was fun. The general consensus seems to be that it's the worst one so I don't think you can go wrong really

Great interview. Nice to hear them mention the single player campaign as the main mode, and the multiplayer as a "side dish". That's how I've always thought of it, but that's sadly a less fashionable view these days.

I'll pick this up at some point, it seems worth supporting.

Continuing the Demon's Souls and Bloodborne double header. HURT ME MORE

@nessisonett I thought there hadn't been enough love for the Phantom Menace on here recently. Yeah big loss, I thought he'd just gone quiet

@nessisonett I didn't realise Rog had gone, damn

Loved the original and I'll certainly give this a look at some point. Just started Bloodborne again recently, so that's enough stress for now

Alternating between Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. For some reason. Never liked my sanity much anyway.

@ApostateMage Fallout 76 did the same thing, I think they brought it in with a later update, not sure if it was before or after Starfield did it. Made me up my photo game massively

In-game Tinder profiles confirmed

It's not going to sell bucketloads though is it? It's a mid-gen upgrade aimed at those who put a lot of stock in graphics. The average consumer is hardly going to be tripping over themselves to grab one in Asda.

I'm one of those Pro naysayers, but I don't think slow sales necessarily reflect badly on it. For me, the verdict will be at the end of this console gen. If there has been enough new releases (not just remasters) to fully show off what it can do, then it will have been worthwhile for those who get one.

That 'gust' makes it look like she had baked beans for dinner

When I was young, my holiday was a trip to Scarborough with my auntie Nora. She had rheumatoid arthritis and struggled to get about.

Either this is not a realistic holiday simulator, or I've been conned.

He's probably just shocked to see the letter X on a superior quality gaming product hahaha trololol etc

I spent most of my time watching giant machines kick my arse, so if I get the remaster I probably won't notice what she looks like

@Medic_alert It's going to bring about the end times. I am excited and appalled.

@Medic_alert Imagine the character arc. The inner turmoil, the confliction. He resents the fact that he is a man and yet he also despises the powerful female character that he knows he should be. It'll win Oscars and the internet won't know whether it loves it or hates it.

Not sure what definition of the word 'investment' they're running with here. It's no doubt a good bit of kit and I think they're trying to argue it's good value for the asking price. But a "really good investment" it is not. Especially at the midpoint of a console generation.

"So sick of the forced girlboss narrative man"

Ironically, it's also just been announced that Girlboss Narrative Man is being replaced by a female character in the remake. This guy is going to be furious.

I mean come on, let's be brutally honest, Jin was good but he was hardly Mr Charisma was he?

And yes I know that's partly the point. But if I'm going for a pint with him it's only so he's there in case it kicks off.

Not chased a platinum for over a year, but I'm considering it with Astro, just as an excuse to keep playing.

Then it's back to Cult of the Lamb and maybe, just maybe, thinking about a new Bloodborne run. Only played it through once.

Hulst's baby eh? That's one ugly baby

@AhmadSumadi So you're saying I don't have to buy one? That changes everything. I take it all back, the PS5 Pro is a bargain.

This will lead nicely into the PS5 Pro "It's time to pay" ad campaign

@colonelkilgore oh my god you said it again, right that's it, blocked

This is nothing, Team Asobi had to change the name from Asstro Bot to get that all-important Everyone 10+ rating.

@colonelkilgore You have both 'kill' and 'gore' in your name, too right you're blocked

I'm looking forward to the next Spiderman game already. If it can do shiny floors, puddles should be no problem.

Sony wouldn't have wanted this to slip out this week, not in the wake of the negative reaction to the PS5 Pro pricing. But realistically this is a way off. We're now feeling the slump off the back of Covid, hopefully things will have picked up by the time PS6 rolls around

Ah, Pac-Man world. The game Astro Bot could have been

@KyushuTrail There are plenty of tasty cheeses up for grabs in Sekiro as well, don't be afraid to sample them

Playing Cult of the Lamb at the moment. Good wholesome fun

I mean yeah it's clearly a ten. If I'm being honest it probably hasn't had the same impact on me as Astro's Playroom, that completely blew me away. But it's still a ten.

The question is - where do you draw the line? It's not just 700 quid. If I want to utilise my library of disc games then I'll need a drive. Then there's my Plus subscription which is due for renewal soon. 100 quid for the year. Before you know it, you've spent a grand on gaming, something that is merely a hobby. At what point do you start to ask whether it's truly worth it?
