I don't know whats worse, the fact they released what is basically a $70 DLC map pack with a lazy campaign or the fact some are defending it. This should have been $30 as DLC tops.
I'd give it an 8 personally.
I'm not a fan of the microtransactions at all but the gameplay itself is really good.
Plus its the only place I can see my beloved Manchester United win the league anytime soon.
100% agree with "Commentary still sucks" though, Derick Rae tries so hard to pronounce player and team names correctly that it becomes annoying.
The way he says Fernades gets on my nerves.
@LifeGirl I thought Ellie was great in Part I but reduced to a one note shell in Part II. Abby was way more nuanced in that game. Plus "sexy" doesn't always equal shallow, 2B comes to mind. I doubt this game is deep though that being said.
Was planning to ditch my sub after this month anyway and this just confirms that. I don't play online and the games aren't really that appealing to me for the most part so it's pretty pointless.
@Darth_Stofi Using MK8 and Animal Crossing as examples of questionable quality is kinda crazy given those are probably two of the most polished games they've ever made.
@Nintendo4Sonic What do you expect? You think anyone that uses this site actually bought it? Those sales will be from a more casual bunch that expect a big IP means quality.

Re: LEGO 2K Goooal Is PS5, PS4's Worst Kept Secret
Worst kept secret?
First I’m hearing of it.
Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition Drops Next Month at $60 Retail
I’ll probably only play this game if it’s under £10 or on Plus.
I’m still bitter about the mess they sold me on PS4.
Re: Mini Review: Ebenezer and the Invisible World (PS4) - Gorgeous Metroidvania Burdened by (Bah Hum)bugs
So like Marley this is dead on arrival.
Re: The Sims 4's Newest PS4 Expansion Sounds Kinda Grim
Is it controversial to say I don’t get the hatred of landlords?
People gotta make their money somehow.
Re: The Finals Opted for AI Voices Because 'It Gets Us Far Enough in Terms of Quality'
It sounds awful.
Re: Star Ocean The Second Story R Really Is an Impressive Looking Remake

Re: Feature: Tokyo Game Show Was Everything I Expected, And Somehow More
I take it SEGA's pole dancer was too much for this site XD
Re: Random: Push Square Was a Question on a UK Quiz Show
@get2sammyb Great insight! PushSquare rolls off the tongue better than PressSquare so smart choice in the end.
Re: Poll: How's Your Hype for Marvel's Spider-Man 2?
Excited to play it but not in a rush, Mario Wonder takes priority for me that day.
I will probably pick it up next month.
Re: Random: Push Square Was a Question on a UK Quiz Show
Legit question, why you guys choose Square over the other 3 buttons?
Well X I sorta understand I guess.
Re: Jim Ryan Retires as PlayStation Boss in March 2024
Today we party!
I'll never forgive him for the closure of Japan Studio.
Re: The Quarry (PS5) - Maybe Until Dawn Was Just a Fluke
Okay just replayed it and yeah it's still an 8/10.
Nowhere near as bad as the review makes out.
Re: Goodbye Volcano High (PS5) - Wonderfully Written, But Stumbles on the Rhythm
I just can't get past the character designs.
Re: PS5 Trophies for the Highest Rated Game of the Year Hit Sony's Servers
Currently joint highest with Zelda*
Just saying.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony
I wish Sony would offer a model with no benefits but online play for like £30 a year.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony
Was planning to ditch my sub after this month anyway and this just confirms that.
I don't play online and the games aren't really that appealing to me for the most part so it's pretty pointless.
Re: Persona-Inspired Eternights Launches a Little Earlier Than Planned on PS5, PS4
This looks like a game that will review poorly but be adored by a niche crowd.
Re: Free-to-Play Fall Guys, Fortnite Competitor, Stumble Guys, Announced for PS5, PS4
They didn't even try to be subtle did they.
Re: Persona 3 Reload Release Date Is 2nd February, Pray Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Isn't Around There Too
I'm interested where Sega puts LaD actually considering they also have Metaphor coming next year too.
Re: NBA 2K24 PS5, PS4 Introduces Paid Battle Pass in Franchise First
Remember when some said $70 games would mean no microtransactions?
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Red Dead Redemption's PS4 Port?
I'll pick it up when it's a tenner.
Re: 8 PS5, PS4 Games Are Leaving PS Plus Extra, Premium Soon
I wish they gave 2 month notice on what was leaving so we could prioritize those games.
Re: PS5, PS4's New Free Game Mixes Qix with Anime Ladies
If this was from an actual artist I'd be down but screw this AI rubbush.
Re: Sakura Wars - An Entertaining But Flawed Summer Anime in Video Game Form
After recently playing it I'd give it an 8/10
Re: PS Plus Premium Adds Four-Hour Trial for One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
If you try it on PS4 you'll spend half that time in load screens.
Re: Yes, All Those Awesome Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Accessories Are Getting Scalped
I'm so tired of these parasites taking advantage of actual fans.
Re: Diablo 4's Seasonal Battle Pass Doesn't Contain Enough Platinum to Buy Literally Anything
Battle passes and microtransactions have no place in full priced games.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Pikmin and Horses Overtake Most PS5, PS4 Games in the Top 10
Pikmin 4 is one of the best games I’ve played all year so I’m glad it’s selling well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 486
Pikmin 4 mainly.
Its been really good so far.

Not sure theres anything I super want tbh
Re: Japanese Final Fantasy 16 Sales Plummet by 90% in Second Week
Ouch, for Japan that’s a huge drop off.
Re: Like a Dragon Fandom Divided After Hearing Kiryu's New English Voice
At risk of sounding like a weeb I can’t imagine playing this series in English.
Kiryu’s Japanese VA does such an amazing job nobody would come close.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is Overheating and Crashing PS5 Consoles Completely
Not great, kinda puts me off the game till it’s sorted.
Re: YouTuber Yong Yea Is the New English Voice of Kazuma Kiryu
Not sure his voice will fit tbh but I’ll play in Japanese anyway so doesn’t matter much to me.
Re: There's Growing Concern Over Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio Being an Xbox Exclusive
I plan on buyig a Series S later this year anyway for Starfield so I'm not too fussed if it is, although I'd prefer its not.
Re: Persona Dev's Project Re Fantasy Finally Revealed as a Ridiculous Looking Turn-Based RPG
if its an Xbox exclusive I will buy one just for this game.
Re: Reaction: Solid Xbox Showcase Should Give Sony Some Incentive to Stop Being So Damn Cloak and Daggers About PS5, PS4
Xbox absolutely outshined Sony with their showcase, I wish Sony would be less secretive and show us what they’re working on.
Re: Persona 5 Tactica Launches 17th November, Persona 3 Reload Early 2024
Awesome, I will still buy them both to support my favourite dev but I'm glad they're day one on Game Pass too.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter 6 Tackles the Top 10, But Can't KO Zelda
@Darth_Stofi Using MK8 and Animal Crossing as examples of questionable quality is kinda crazy given those are probably two of the most polished games they've ever made.
Re: UK Sales Charts: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Manages a Top 10 Debut, Sells Best on PS5
@Nintendo4Sonic What do you expect? You think anyone that uses this site actually bought it? Those sales will be from a more casual bunch that expect a big IP means quality.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
It was okay but nothing amazing
Re: UK Sales Charts: LEGO 2K Drive Debuts in the Top 10, But Nothing's Beating Zelda
@cassiel I expect more salt when this 30fps handheld game sweeps at the Game Awards.
Re: UK Sales Charts: LEGO 2K Drive Debuts in the Top 10, But Nothing's Beating Zelda
TotK is amazing so this is well deserved.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 16 Still Seems Like a PS5 Must Have, But a Couple of Niggles Need to Be Addressed
I'm still not sure about how much I'll enjoy the combat system but I'm excited to give it a chance.
Re: Random: Final Fantasy 14's Yoshi-P Couldn't Stop Playing Zelda During PS5, PS4 MMO's Test Stream
@Jok-Havok Theres plently of other great games too, I highly recommend the Xenoblade series if you're into Zelda you might like them.
