As others have said, it depends on the game for me. A higher frame rate is helpful for anything with fast-paced combat like your Bloodbornes and your God of Wars. However I'm not going to be freaking out about playing Dear Esther at 30fps
Massively inbetween games at the moment, plus my son keeps using my account to play his games so I can't get a look in. Might check out the Spiderman 2 update
It's tricky to criticise this sort of thing these days without being made to look like you're offended by it. I'm absolutely fine with this existing, I just think it's sh*te
@Enuo Agreed, even if we do seem to be in the minority. Carrey was painfully unfunny in the first film.
He also seemed to be peddling some sort of "scientists are narrow-minded and refuse to listen to anyone else" act, which felt depressingly out of place in a kids film and contained echoes of some of his ill-informed views on certain matters.
@somnambulance Same here. After Tchia and Humanity turned out to be the most fun I had in gaming terms last year, I'm going to make an effort to play more indies this year
@QualityGeezer Fully agree on Tchia, and I'd add Humanity as well. Don't get me wrong, this is a great list, full of fantastic games, but there's a distinct lack of new IPs and original ideas on it, sadly. Not Push Square's fault, just a symptom of the industry at large I reckon
@Odium This seems to be the popular train of thought. Maybe if I were to play Control inbetween Wakes, that would break it up nicely. Cheers for the thoughts!
@JamieO Nice stats. You need to get on to @get2sammyb, there's an article in this for sure, maybe even a regular feature of some sort. Jeff sounds like a modern-day legend.
I'm pretty sure this has been asked (and answered) in other articles/comment sections, but can I get away with playing this if I haven't played the first one?
@JamieO Great list as ever. I always enjoying reading it, and your passion for gaming always shows in your writing.
However with all that said, I think Jeff's list might be even more impressive, because it's an absolute beast for a man of 81. He's not messing around. I'd be interested to know the combined hours he put in on those five, if you can sneak a look at his stats.
I gave this a go earlier this year and had fun. The world is fun to explore and there are plenty of those personal tales scattered about on audio logs which make Fallout great.
@Th3solution I put Humanity at number one, with Tchia just behind it. If I'm honest, these two are the most fun I've had in a year when I dropped off gaming a little bit.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 521
No idea. Whatever the kids fancy. Bracing myself for a weekend of Horizon Zero Dawn and watching DanTDM play Sea of Thieves with his mates.
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Could Slip as Far Back as 2026 Due to Development Issues
That's fine, I might have got through my backlog by then
Re: Reminder: You're Losing Access to 7 Great PS Plus Extra Games Tomorrow
I never actually finished The Outer Wilds. May have to purchase when I pick it back up. Guess that's what the service is for
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 520
Giving Need for Speed Unbound a go for a bit of knockabout fun, but beyond that, not playing much. Need something to grab me.

@Dodoo I didn't like the darker direction they took with the sequel "Uncharted: Drake's Unfortunate"

Re: Random: Our Twitter Timeline Is All Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PS5 Right Now
If this is how AAA releases are going to be marketed from now on, then Kratos had better get himself a mankini

@Northern_munkey Hope you're okay fella
Re: Legendary Suikoden, Eiyuden Chronicle Creator Yoshitaka Murayama Has Passed Away
Sad news indeed. A lot of heart went into those games.
Re: Xbox's Multiplatform Plans to Be Revealed on Thursday
I'm not saying I'm jumping to conclusions, but I've already pre-ordered Forza PS5.

Re: Hope as Elden Ring Steam DLC Backend Is Updated for First Time Since Launch
It would be pretty cool if they just dropped it on us out of the blue. Old school release strategy
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 511
Not sure, bit more Red Dead II I guess, and maybe Dark Souls 3 if I can squeeze it in
Re: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) - A Slick, Satisfying, and Royally Robust Metroidvania
Ubisoft's 2D output has been stellar the last few years. Will definitely get on this at some point
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
@Kyushutrail Haha, yeah it is a little, but you don't notice once you're in. Think of it as a holiday
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Red Dead II for me. Because why not?
Re: Get Lost in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's Dark World on PS5, PS4
The more I see, the more I like. Won't be a day one for me, but I've got my eye on it.
Re: 30 PS5, PS4 Indie Games to Watch Out for in 2024

Re: 30 PS5, PS4 Indie Games to Watch Out for in 2024
I could only pick three, so I went for Animal Well, Eiyuden Chronicle and Still Wakes the Deep.
Left out Silksong because I don't want to get my hopes up that it's coming this year.

Lots of people trying to justify the backlash by saying they're worried she won't be flawed. She's in prison.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
Well I guess I'm going to have to play the first Plague Tale then. On the new year's resolutions list it goes.

GTA V for some reason. Must be the hype for the new game. Merry Christmas all

I don't get it, why are they talking about "two years of collaboration" and then "2025"?

Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2023?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023?
My youngest will be happy with Lego Drive, and we'll probably play a fair few rounds of that together. Beyond that though, not much for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 505
Downloaded Parappa the Rapper 2, a game I never got around to back in the day. I've not been this excited to play a game for a while. I'm serious.
