I will get to it eventually, as I am gonna wait until my sub is due to expire and then see what games I wanna play on extra vs what I've already got. Not point subbing to something if I will hardly use it, as with me it is not just the value of the service it is whether or not I will actually get round to playing the games I am interested in.

I've noticed this before when checking the PS store that all of the versions have been 'Unavailable' for me, and I got the standard digital edition on day one. 😒

Glad it has turned out well, can't wait to play it hopefully soon.

Totally forgot about this and for once am actually in a good place to watch some new stuff. Thanks for the reminder and the reccomendations from everyone!

Yeah that is a good selection for the extra tier. I was thinking the other day that I quite fancy diving into Intergrade. Any news of how long these games stay on the service for?

Hopefully Shopto in the UK will discount them a bit more in the Black Friday sales. My sub expires end of August, so will get 3 months in the meantime if I decide to renew.

I'm on Essential at the moment but will probs upgrade to Extra next week. That runs until end of August so will see if I stay subbed.

Hopefully this a sign of things to come and we will get more ps5 versions of games to the service when available. Something of a bugbear of mine with PS NOW (RIP).

Not sure if I can take more side quests like finding cats so less of those please, and less squeezing between small gaps too. Not sure how on board if the story gets any more bonkers, as Remake was just at the limit of my tastes.

Maybe I will finally understand some of the references to the game in FFVIIR.

@Ristar24 I also remember seeing it (and the different versions) in various kebab shops and the like over the years. Playing it after I've had a few drinks was not a good idea lol.

Wondered if this means it will be put back on the PS Plus Collection, or on Extra/Premium?

Will sit along nicely with my Art Works books for Dark Souls 1, 2 and Sekiro. The one for Dark Souls 3 goes for over 200 quid on Amazon UK, so best to get them whilst they are at a decent price.

I have fond memories of spending my lunch hour going over to the bowling alley over the road from work to play the arcade of Street Fighter II when I was in my early twenties.

Yeah not for me. I generally don't play remakes or remasters of games I've already finished, with only a couple of exceptions, and this feels too recent for my liking.

Is it FIELDSense or FieldSENSE?! The public demand to know! 🤔

I think this leak is more likely...

Never played any of the Resistance games, so would be down for this. I would dig a remastered trilogy of the PS3 games too.

I was looking forward to tea bagging the aliens too.

Think the list for the extra tier is quite good myself. Will defo keep my sub running.

@TheArt Yeah I'm still finding new discoveries in earlier areas when I'm going back to them.

Can't stop playing the darn thing, and am 210 hours deep. Still very much enjoying my time with the game too.

Not sure why some people are being so negative for the new selection of games. Is it a Sony thing or do those people genuinely think the games are crap?

Always felt that Square Enix were never fully behind the studios in the West, so something like this probably makes sense for both sides, as long as job losses are kept to a minimum.

A good month for me as I've not played any of them for once.

I find it a bit crazy people stacking up on subs just to get a good deal without knowing what games are going to be part of the service. Surely it won't be a good deal if you end not liking it and not using the service? 🤣

My PS Now sub ends the sometime in June with Plus ending sometime in August, so I guess I will have Premium until August. Can't see myself using it for any of the retro games though, but the demos might be useful I suppose.

I have very little interest in retro games and won't be subscribing the Premium tier, so couldn't care less what they implement.

Oh wow, a surprise for once and not something that was leaked beforehand.

Really enjoyed the first game and was a true comedy video game, something that is quite tricky to get right.

There could only be one subtitle used for this story. Well played though 🤣

Really depends on the title. Something like FFVIIR was an exception to the rule, where I had not played the original for almost 20 years and was a special game to me. But most of them I tend to not bother with if I have already played them.

Burn some dust, eat my rubber!

Well done Housemarque! My personal GOTY last year.

I've got that Nepheli bug too. Right nasty one too.

Also yesterday I loaded up the game yesterday and I had died straight away, and it looked like I had fallen off a cliff or something. I wasn't near one when I quit the game. When I loaded my save and beat the boss I was attempting, the marker for my runes was at a part of the map I've not been to yet. Oh well only about 16.5k worth of runes, so not that bad.

Eh, suppose they could do better with that kinda stuff, but I never pay much attention to what is officially said anyway, as it is mostly marketing and PR fluff.

I agree. When used to it's potential, it really does add another level of immersion.

I've enjoyed them all so far but I have yet to play Borderlands 3, which I would want to before getting to this. Tales From the Borderlands is my favourite though.

Yeah will get it eventually. I played the first Evil Within and thought it was decent enough. Not played the sequel but will at some point.

Nah, Returnal was my GOTY for last year but after spending about 180 hours getting the platinum trophy, I can safely say I am done with the game. I also traded it so no longer have the game. Hope everyone enjoys the new content though!

Still interested in it. It was never gonna be a day 1 for me anyway as I knew I would still be balls deep in Elden Ring and other games I've not played, so it will be many months before I get round to it.

The awful characters and dialogue from playing the first demo was a big turn off for me. Usually I can look past such things if the gameplay is good enough, but it was not for me, so get a hard pass.

Damn, bloody slash has been nerfed. There goes my get out of jail card.

Well deserved for a superb game!

Not seen any them yet and don't plan to either. Interested in Ghostwire Tokyo but have seen enough of that, and Returnal was my GOTY last year but no longer have the game and doubt I will be going back to it.

This game is ticking all the boxes for me and has it hooks deep into me. Can see myself sinking close to 200 hours into this. Sure there are technical issues, although playing the native PS5 version I've not experienced the worst of them, they do not distract from just how good the game is to play.

@lolwhatno Same here! Guess we are all on the same planet today!

FromSoftware games should never have difficulty settings. People who reject this argument don’t seem to understand it’s not about elitism or even a general position taken on difficulty settings. It’s specifically about From games, where the fundamentals of the games – your stats, inventory, weapons, clothes, even your location – are inextricably informed and given meaning by the challenge. If you add an easy mode (beyond the difficulty-easing measures already there) you risk making any of these elements trivial. I’ve lost count of the number of games where the decisions you make in respect of any of the above lack weight or meaning. A game shouldn’t be forced to compromise on its fundamental principles in the hope of a bigger audience when thousands of games out there already do.

Also I think some are lumping accessibility and difficulty together, but they are different things people.

30 hours in and am about level 25ish. Beat Margit earlier today and explored Stormveil Castle, upto just after the second Banished Knight. Who I think are the Elden Ring version of Black Knights. Think I've done most of the NPC side quests in Limgrave and beaten a few of the underground dungeons. Loving the exploration, sense of discovery and the emergent gameplay in the open world, and not having a gazillion map markers pop up.

Did I miss something, when did the native PS5 version drop? Or is it only available digitally on PS5?

Can't say I pay much attention to the story in racing games and I always end playing Spotify. Aslong as the racing is fun, that is good enough for me.
