I enjoyed Saints Row. It was a fun game. It’s not the best game ever but it’s far from being the worst.

I don’t have PS+ anymore but the price increases mean I’ll be less likely to sign up for the odd month here and there as I do now.

I’ve never used gamepass but I was subbed to PS+ Extra for a while. The thought of having a huge library of games to play is nice but I hardly played any of them. I don’t have any gaming subs now. The only online game I play is Fortnite and you don’t need PS+ for that.

Played a couple of hours of Atlas Fallen and I like it. The first 20-30 minutes of the game is pretty bad but once you get to the first open world area it really shines.

Really enjoying the combat/exploration and I feel like I’m getting to grips with all the different upgrades. Think I’m going to enjoy this game but I have a soft spot for AA games.

This is great - I’ll definitely use this option.

I wonder how they’ll approach the LGBT representation in this one? The last few AC games have gone big on the LGBT representation but the Middle East is hardly a haven for LGBT people.

As a gay person myself I’ve always found this aspect of AC unrealistic because the fear of persecution and death would have been very real back then (and still is today in most Middle Eastern countries, sadly).

It will be interesting to see what they do.

I don’t mind the PS3 era graphics tbh. I love TWD so will definitely be checking this out. Season 2 of the show was my favourite season overall so hopefully we get to explore the farm too (and relive that fantastic season 2 finale).

Loved this game. I tried it with PS+ and didn’t expect to play more than a few levels but ended up getting the platinum. Very clever level design which makes you think without being frustrating. I found it quite calming and the soundtrack was hypnotic. The game does a great job of introducing new gameplay elements so it never feels overwhelming or samey. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from this studio.

I know digital software sales are huge but doesn’t the disc version ps5 outsell the digital only version by a wide margin?

Not a fan of the redesign (if real) or the original design of the ps5. It’s the most hideous PlayStation console imo but I do still love my ps5 (and the Dualsense).

Are these the jokers responsible for the $50 PS5 port of RDR? Yeah, don’t listen to them.

My copy should be arriving tomorrow 🤞 I thought this looked interesting from day one so it’s good to hear it isn’t completely awful. Looking forward to playing in the morning.

Wish these skins were coming to Fortnite. Instead we get another anime collab 🙄

Those prices are ridiculous though. The whole package would probably cost around £25 on Fortnite, which is still high but not as bad as this.

The bigger Sony’s lead, the less likely MS will be to pull any stunts once this deal goes through.

My Nephew got one for his Birthday and it’s a very nice controller but I couldn’t justify the price for myself. I’d be happy with a standard controller in Classic Grey.

I thought I was going to love this game but I didn’t enjoy it at all. The enemies being bullet sponges even on ‘easy’ mode was really annoying. Plus the slow-crawling through vents and slowly squeezing through narrow spaces. They added all of these unnecessary hurdles to stretch the runtime out but it would have been a much better game without them.

Sorry to hear about the layoffs though.

@Beerheadgamer82 I played the game at release (got the platinum) and felt the same. I really enjoyed it. I changed the settings so I had auto lock and lowered the enemy durability so I was pretty much one-shot killing everyone like I was John Wick. Fun game. I might pick the game up again for this dlc.

That doesn’t surprise me. It didn’t really scream ‘next gen’ to me. Very disappointing sequel which never really took off the way I hoped it would. Like, it was ok but I thought the first game was quite restrained and expected the sequel to really up the ante but it didn’t. It was just one note from beginning to end.

I don’t really like the Anime skins but it’s just as well because I just got the Futurama and Arnold Schwarzenegger/Terminator skins.

Just missing a TMNT collab now really.

@Lup I found it quite difficult at first because I didn’t know how to play it (and the game doesn’t really explain anything). The prologue boss seemed impossible until someone told me to wear the lightest armour because it makes parrying easier when your weight is rated ‘A’. The good thing is checkpoints are generous. I’d say it’s still pretty challenging but once you get a feel for the game it can be addictive.

Never watched the show but I have this in my wish list because I love the Telltale games. I’m not a fan of the fortnightly episode releases though. I’ll wait until all episodes are available (and maybe even a sale).

Yes this is great news. Hopefully the story will be memorable and the setting/characters will be ‘realistic’ for the time period.

I’ve been playing Aliens Dark Descent. The look and atmosphere in the game is excellent but I’m not sure if the gameplay is for me. Also, the checkpoint system is very frustrating. I played 10 minutes of the first mission and had to quit - now I’m back at the command deck skipping through all the post-prologue cutscenes and I have to start the first mission again from scratch. I’ll persevere with it but I’m on the fence at the moment.

It’s a shame about Dreams but the story mode was kinda dull and depressing. They should have made the story mode brighter and more uplifting to help market the game (like Astro’s Playroom), rather than the gloomy, artsy style they went with.

I really enjoyed this game. I actually cleared the map 100%. A sequel would have been a day one purchase for me.

Last COD I played was World At War and even then it was just for the SP campaign. Picked it up after binging Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Do these games still have a SP campaign?

Hope it’s a new R&C game. We need more colourful, action-platformers on PS5.

I could play a new R&C game every year and never get bored of them.

I’m slowly working my way through Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and after a shaky start I really like it. I’ve just defeated the fifth boss. It can be frustrating when you die and lose a chunk of progress but something keeps me coming back for more.

Also Gotham Knights. I picked it up cheap in the Prime Day sales and I’m really enjoying it. It’s not the complete dumpster fire I’ve been lead to believe.

Between Fortnite and Dreamlight Valley I just don’t have time for any more live service games. Especially when there are so many great SP games too.

@MidnightDragonDX yeah, as soon as physical is gone they’ll increase digital prices and blame inflation or something (because they aren’t raking in millions in profit already…).

I thought it was a poor adaption of the game. It looked the part - the set design was excellent - but they butchered the story and the pacing was all over the place. I didn’t feel anything for any of the characters (except maybe Bill) and the infected were hardly used. A few more episodes would have helped flesh out the story/characters because we lost two full episodes to Bill’s story and Left Behind. But I was pretty underwhelmed with what we actually got. I expected much more from HBO and ND tbh.

I’ve been cleaning up the side quests in Dead Island 2 and I’m installing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty at the moment. Plus the usual Fortnite / Dreamlight Valley in between.

It’s so annoying because when this game fails they’ll say dinosaur games don’t sell. Why can’t they just make a normal dinosaur game? All the money they wasted on this… they could have remade DinoCrisis.

Didn’t Nintendo make a fuss about people making Mario games in Dreams a few years ago? But this is ok? 😂

Looking forward to seeing more of this game.

I wasn’t crazy about part 2 so I’m no way near as hyped for part 3 but I’ll still play it.

I haven’t played Fall Guys since it went F2P. Even Lara Croft couldn’t bring me back and I’d usually be all over that.

Completed the story in Dead Island 2 and actually really enjoyed it. Early in the game I made the mistake of thinking I had to kill every zombie I encountered, which was frustrating because they constantly respawn. Getting a few guns and realising you can just run past the zombies helped me enjoy the second half of the game a lot more.

I always thought AC2 was the best AC (until I played the remaster). It’s still a top entry but the ending is super messy. Removing a full sequence and selling it as dlc never sat right with me. Black Flag is #1 for me now. How they went from those boxy, static ships in AC2/AC Brotherhood to sailing the high seas in AC3 (and more so AC4) was incredible.

I really tried to give it a chance but it was just terrible.

It’s not unplayable but my god was it dull. I struggled through it for 4 hours before calling it quits. I intended to go back and finish it but I just couldn’t.

@Khayl I always get funny looks when I tell people my favourite Alien movie is Alien 3 👀

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Robocop 2 but I loved the first one.

Yeah, I’m not happy about this tbh. I don’t really buy much anymore though so it’s just as well.

But there is a Transformers bundle coming out in October… 😫

Looks good (added to my list). I hope it doesn’t disappoint like Callisto Protocol did.

I played a few hours of Gollum last week and I’m sad to report… it’s as bad as they say. I was going to try and finish it but I can’t bring myself to play any more. It’s just so dull and left me feeling hollow. I don’t know how those devs feel after working on that game for years - it must have been soul destroying.

I also returned to Dead Island 2 - I only played the intro at launch but I’ve played around 6 hours or so now. I like it but I wish you could stealth kill the zombies when they have their back to you. I can already feel myself getting tired of the same ‘block/strike, block/strike’ mechanic. I also don’t like how the zombies respawn so quickly. I understand them respawning if you leave the map and return, but not when you enter/exit a house and the exact same zombies you just killed are all ‘alive’ again. Very annoying. But I am enjoying it for what it is.

@JSnow2 they’re great at playing the victim, when they’re anything but. Classic bully behaviour.

Forget LOTR and give us a new Tomb Raider game already.

I’m watching at the moment and it’s ok - I do prefer this format to the Sony one - but why aren’t the people who are introducing the games speaking like normal people? They’ve all been very stiff and awkward so far. They shanty was nice though 😂

I am so happy with that release date. I love the Avatar movies and this is my most anticipated game this year. But is it just me or are games getting worse and worse looking this gen? Some of the graphics in the trailer looked very last gen to me. I don’t know if I’m expecting too much (or if it’s because I’m currently playing Gollum… 👀) but I can’t remember the last time a game blew me away visually.

Wait a minute, I thought MS were the good guys, incapable of such things… 🤪

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum arrived this morning. Wish me luck 😂

Love this game. So many great great additions in this update. Between this and the new season of Fortnite, I’m going to have a very busy June.

@johncalmc I got the platinum for the first one but the platinum for the second was too frustrating iirc. The Jurassic Park expansion for the first game has been my favourite so far but will definitely check this out when it drops.

Everything the guy in the video moaned about is everything I wanted in a Robocop game 😁

Really looking forward to this because the Terminator game was excellent. This dev understands their audience.
