@Kanji-Tatsumi Just turn off social media generally, and the news. It's all designed to grab your attention, anger you, and ultimately monetize your free time.
I think it goes to show sometimes that the internet is not fully representative of real life. I remember some commentators were dismissing HFW as having been swallowed up by ER. But that didn't really seem to be the case, this game seems to have legs in the charts.
@Nightcrawler71 I have never heard this term before so I had to just guess that it was just Europe. But the mystery remains, what does the rest stand for!? I do not wish to go to bed later tonight with this hanging over me.
@IOI completely agree. I was loving it for about 3/4 of it, but came out of it feeling completely underwhelmed for some reason. Plus I think those two headed boss fights were badly designed.
I've always seen Diablo as a bit of a slot machine. So I normally play it late at night, with a beer, a strange grin, and a profound feeling that I have no idea what I am doing with my life.
@BoldAndBrash The are plenty of great linear Single player examples with amazing presentation that have come out this gen. Guardians of the Galaxy, Plague Tale/Requiem, Gow Ragnarok, Callisto Protocol, Kena, RE Village...I could go on.
I played the Mass Effect Trilogy again when it came out and I was stunned at how good it all still is. All three games are great, don't listen to the ME3 haters. Liked the ending personally.
@Rob_230 Same, I would prefer a new Uncharted story.
Also in response to this article, I think you are right. A quick Google reveals that the top search, at least earlier, was 'Uncharted 1 PC'. So people are wondering if they can play 1-3 first before 4.
I don't particularly care about 60fps. However is worth noting that F-Zero X on the N64 was 60fps, for example. However - most of time these days it might be time or budget constraints that means the programmers can't optimise as much as they'd like.
I'm not a fanboy but Microsoft is essentially saying 'how dare you stop game pass on your consoles Sony', whilst at the same time making cod, Bethesda games exclusive to Xbox games pass platforms... Am I missing something or are Microsoft so arrogant that they literally just don't give a **** anymore lol.
If you wanted to play the first one you surely would have done it by now.
If you haven't played it by now you probably don't want to.
If you're watching the TV show when it comes out and think you might want to take a dip, with the cost of living as it is, wouldn't you just get the cheaper ps4 version, already patched to 60fps?
Must be a cheap upgrade to make for Guerilla and Sony, defo to coincide with the TV show.
I've played both Horizon games a bunch and completed the first one twice (and got Platinum), both are great but do I wanna go in for round 3 on the first game with slightly upgraded textures and assets, nope!
Ubisoft Forward this year was literally so cringe, like, the dancing bit, who thought this was a good idea? Utterly baffling.
In all seriousness I think Ubisoft are in trouble. Most of the stuff they presented just looked so dull to me, they are struggling to find a hit beyond AC.
I personally stopped playing Cod a long while ago. However I think Microsoft ballsed up their messaging a bit by saying that Cod will remain multi-platform and the insinuation was that it was going to stay that way. I think Sony are right to call them out on that if privately ms were saying, actually, you can have three years but that's it.

Re: PS5 DualSense Edge Pad Sounds Like the Real Deal, Shorter Battery Life
How much!?!?! Wow.
I think you'd have to make a mint to consider this, looks cool though.

Re: Microsoft Invites Sony to Sign Its Own 10-Year Call of Duty Deal
Sony will have to sign it. Microsoft have them over a barrel. And Sony will hate signing it too.
Re: Feature: Predict The Game Awards 2022 With Our Ridiculous 20 Question Quiz
Yay, got 3 right.
Re: Elden Ring Adds Competitive Colosseums for Free This Week
Do I have what it takes?
I mean, people have been finishing this game with like bongos, while blindfolded, and taking no hits.
So no, I probably don't.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Pretty Mixed Results for New PS5, PS4 Games at Retail
I mean the main reason is probably the cost of living in the UK and no one is able to afford full price games at moment.
I got a random Amazon voucher so I've been able to enjoy the Calisto Protocol this week.
Massively enjoying it so far, right up my street!
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 22
7/15. Glad I got the MGS 2 question right, otherwise I would have, I dunno, done something.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for December 2022 Leaked Early
I played the Mass Effect Trilogy again when it came out and I was stunned at how good it all still is. All three games are great, don't listen to the ME3 haters. Liked the ending personally.

Apart from a few hiccups Chorus is actually pretty great.
Re: Mini Review: Return to Monkey Island (PS5) - Original Creators Return to Beloved Point and Click
Just finished this on Switch, great return for the series.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - God of War Special
8 out of 15 for me! Love God of War as well, been a while since I've played 1,2 and 3 though. After Ragnarok might have to start them over lol
Re: GreedFall Another PS4 Game Leaving PS Plus Extra Soon
I notice Greedfall also has the ps5 version on Extra, is this staying?
Re: Return to Monkey Island Lands a PS5 Version Next Week
I'm playing this at the moment, it's great!
I'm a long time fan of Monkey Island and this is probably one of the best entries.
Re: Japan Simply Isn't Enough Anymore as Square Enix Calls Global Market a 'Critical' Priority
But... Hang on a minute, am I right in thinking that they sold off a load of Western studios recently?
Re: Hands On: Crunchy Combat Shines in PS5, PS4's Wildly Impressive The Callisto Protocol
'A white knuckle dance of death'.
I'm in.
Re: You Won't Be Waiting Too Long for Silent Hill 2 on PS5
I like Blooper Team games and Silent Hill so looking forward to this.
Playing The Medium at the moment which is probably their weakest game if you ask me, but still good.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Roughly 'the Same Length' as the Original
Yeah but the dog.... The dog!!
Re: Uncharted PC Port Has Lowest Player Count of Any Sony Game at Launch

Re: Uncharted PC Port Has Lowest Player Count of Any Sony Game at Launch
I reckon they are remaking Uncharted 1, as we speak.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Gotham Knights?
I'm broke but have no interest in this, but love the other Arkham games. Glad some are enjoying it though.
Re: F1 22 Is Free to Play During US Grand Prix Weekend on PS5, PS4
Me too. Been watching Drive to Survive recently so might be good to give this a go for a weekend.
Re: Poll: Will You Buy the DualSense Edge PS5 Controller, Now We Have a Price?
I'd rather have my heating on, can barely even afford that lol.
Re: Despite Scrapping PS4, Gotham Knights Is Just 30fps on PS5
I think this might be a time issue, a few more months programming and they could have got it in with launch but I reckon it'll be patched in later.
Re: Dead Space's Jaw-Dropping PS5 Remake Adds Extra Exploration
Looking forward to this. The zero G updates have been lifted from Dead Space 2 which is also fantastic. Would love them to remake that as well.
Re: Shocking: Sony Doesn't Want Game Pass on PlayStation, Microsoft Has a Pop at PS Plus

Re: Talking Point: We Need to Discuss This Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remaster
You've got to think, who is this really for?
If you wanted to play the first one you surely would have done it by now.
If you haven't played it by now you probably don't want to.

This just in, Ragnarok remaster will be realised in December.
Re: The Callisto Protocol Hints at the Hideous Truth in Blood-Drenched Black Iron Story Trailer

Re: Random: The New Monkey Island Game Gives Naughty Dog Boss Neil Druckmann a Cameo
I'm a huge Monkey Island fan. I highly rate MI 4 (yes you read that right) but love all of them. This new one is great as well.
Re: Soapbox: Bring Back Warhawk on PS5, You Cowards
I thought Starhawk was better actually but bring back either Sony!
Re: Random: Developers Unite After Viral Take Gets the Meme Treatment
I'm also of the opinion that Social media should just be switched off.
Re: Rumour: Massive GTA 6 Leak Posts 90 Videos Online
Utterly disastrous for Rockstar if legit.
Re: Rumour: Massive GTA 6 Leak Posts 90 Videos Online
@Sequel Don't worry. We'll all be riding around on hover-boards by the time it actually comes out anyway.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 444
@Ravix very good!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 444
Ghost of Tsushima for me. Great game!
Finished Guardians of the Galaxy a while ago but to all those playing the first time round, it's really really good, glad you're enjoying it!
Re: The Award-Winning Outer Wilds Is Now Available on PS5, Free Upgrade for PS4 Owners

Re: Square Enix Sends Babylon's Fall to the Grave in February 2023
