Like many others here, I'll also be playing Rift Apart. Man talk about a feast for the eyes and ears! Combined with the classic R&C gameplay it's just awesome.
If you're looking for a single player campaign, then you shouldn't even consider Battlefield games in the first place. This all seems like complaining for the sake of complaining. Get Far Cry 6 instead if that's what you're really after. I'm super excited to check this out!!
Going to grab one of the Shantae games to tide me over until R&C. Sadly it doesn't look like Disco Elysium got a discount in Australia, perhaps due to the game only very recently being released (Which is fair enough) Kentucky Route Zero is getting added to the pile too, heard great things.
Plenty of time to make the character's heads bigger than their hands. (That screenshot looks like Wreck It Ralph with Terry Bogard's head photoshopped in!)
Maybe it's too soon to tell, but from the initial reveal & having the such a highly regarded actor on board as the villain, I was hoping for a deeper narrative & darker tone on this one. But nah, just a boring revenge tale with the usual Ubisoft, look how cool we think we are wackiness. I'm already rooting for the bad guys on this one, can I play as Giancarlo Esposito & teach young Vaas the ropes? That sounds way more interesting to me! Bah, I'm old.........Get off my lawn.
Hell yeah! I really enjoyed Zero Dawn, so I'll definitely be picking this up. I really liked what I heard from the soundtrack to this one. They could tone down the movement on Alloy's hair a bit though, hair doesn't move around like a bunch of snakes trying to join in on a conversation!
All these remasters are just boring. This one seems particularly pointless. So much for backwards compatibility finally making these companies pull their fingers out & ease up on this rubbish....its worse than ever🤨
Not the massive jump I was expecting if I'm being honest, but I'll still be getting it as I enjoy the Tales series alot. 2 minor nitpicky things, which are probably all on me: the transition from encounter to battle is clumsy looking, & the battles should start from the side view, just a thing I'm used to from the series😅 yep I'm a bit odd haha
Or you could just move on with your life. C'mon, You would've played whichever game for 5 minutes before realising it sucks & moving back on to your current game. Let it go, I'm tired of ya'll whining!
I've been revisiting Rayman Legends, which is better than I remember....and a sad reminder of the stale garbage Ubisoft releases these days. I bought Crash 4 for the PS5, which I might get to if I can be bothered.
But....Yakuza: Like A Dragon was last year's best game. I guess it did release pretty late in the year. Gotta give the obvious boring choices their moments to be fair too.
I barely have time for the new games I want to play, let alone older stuff. Plus I don't think alot of older stuff holds up particularly well. It's fun for half an hour or so, then always back to current games. Which is exactly how I see happening with everyone here too if such a service were made available.
I do love the idea of a PS4 game getting a remaster on the PS4😅 That being said, the original LIS is a wonderful game, one of my favs ever in fact. BTS.....has it's moments....at times.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon, which I've fallen in love with. This studio really is holding the torch for old school, fun Sega of yesteryear, but for the modern age. And Kasuga.... my god what a character! The heart & passion of Naruto, with the fashion sense of Cosmo Kramer! I just love it to bits!!!
Give Koji Igarashi all the money to make Bloodstained 2, but make it look like Bloodborne in 2D (loved the original, but the character/monster designs were hideous!) Then all will be well, for me anyway! Actually bugger it, get Moon studios in on it too, they aren't owned by MS are they?!
Intrigued to see a new Life Is Strange, I wonder where they'll go with it. As much as I'd love to see Chloe & Max again, some things are best left unanswered, or to our imaginations.
People get angry with EA, forget in a few weeks, situation blows over. Process repeats every 3-4 months. Also EAgate sounds like a movement an angry teen came up with, very edgy!
@Giancarlothomaz don't forget that back in the N64 days, Capcom managed to squeeze all of Resident Evil 2 onto a single N64 cart. Both discs & all fmv included!
I also think Yakuza is leagues ahead of other games in writing & characters too. They feel like games written for adults, not trying to be all edgy & cool. Which I appreciate.
About as exciting as a tumbleweed blowing in the wind to a squeaky fart. For me now, next gen doesn't begin until June when Ratchet drops. Too many people getting excited over a game we played a year ago makes my brain hurt & my PS5 gather another layer of dust😐

Re: Insomniac Devs Say Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Was Made without Crunch

Re: Far Cry 6 Gameplay Looks Wild and Chaotic, Out This October

Re: Saints Row The Third Remastered Comes to PS5 Next Week, Free Upgrade for PS4 Players
All these remasters are just boring. This one seems particularly pointless.
So much for backwards compatibility finally making these companies pull their fingers out & ease up on this rubbish....its worse than ever🤨
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 376
Resident Evil Village if I get the time. Once I'm done with that I'll be taking a break until Ratchet & Clank drops.

And enough with the "well Xbox did......" joke's old!
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Gets Final Trailer, Fort Condor Minigame Revealed
Nothing gets me more excited than a remaster (or whatever made up word Square is using this time) of a game I played last year!
Re: Leaked Document Reveals Xbox's Opinion of The Last of Us 2
It was alright, kinda felt like a more refined version of Snake Eater to me.
Re: PS5 Sales Now Trending Above PS4 Launch Aligned in Japan
They are buying them, gutting the insides and using them as cheap apartments

Like a few others, I'll just wait for the full game. Which if I'm not mistaken, is only 2 weeks away🙂
Re: First Tales of Arise Gameplay Shows New Combat System in Detail, and It Looks Excellent
Not the massive jump I was expecting if I'm being honest, but I'll still be getting it as I enjoy the Tales series alot.
2 minor nitpicky things, which are probably all on me: the transition from encounter to battle is clumsy looking, & the battles should start from the side view, just a thing I'm used to from the series😅 yep I'm a bit odd haha
Re: Ubisoft Dates E3 2021 Forward Event for 12th June
I also want Rayman to make a return, long overdue. I'm interested in Far Cry 6, and maybe a sneak peek at the Star Wars game they're working on.
Re: PS Plus Oversight Is a Bummer for PS3, PS Vita Owners
Or you could just move on with your life. C'mon, You would've played whichever game for 5 minutes before realising it sucks & moving back on to your current game.
Let it go, I'm tired of ya'll whining!

I'm hope all those Ubisoft games & Sims expansions finally go on sale!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 369
I've been revisiting Rayman Legends, which is better than I remember....and a sad reminder of the stale garbage Ubisoft releases these days.
I bought Crash 4 for the PS5, which I might get to if I can be bothered.
Re: Feast Your Eyes on New Footage from PS5's Returnal
Looks like Anthem without the jetpacks, not really feeling this one.
Re: Sony Wins Many BAFTA Awards, But Hades Takes Game of the Year
But....Yakuza: Like A Dragon was last year's best game. I guess it did release pretty late in the year. Gotta give the obvious boring choices their moments to be fair too.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a PS1, PS2, or PS3 Emulator for PS5?

Re: Talking Point: What Free April 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
You all say you want these games, but what you really want is Tetris Effect and you know it!
Re: Mini Review: Can't Drive This (PS5) - Chaotic Fun That Ends Too Quickly
Co-op sounds interesting, might give this a go at some point.
Re: Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Refused Australian Classification
So we can't get a game released here, yet people can walk freely around sporting mullets? (Which for some reason are making a comeback😬)
Re: Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Adds Full Facial Mocap on PS5, PS4

Re: Next Life Is Strange Game to Be Announced During New Square Enix Livestream

Re: Overwatch Skips PS5 with New Next-Gen Upgrades
@SteveJaye He's not wrong though. I've had my PS5 since launch & I'd advise people to wait until the library fills out more.
