[EDIT] Well that last comment has gone, and so is my reply. No point keeping it up on there now.

@eumenes and people like you want to look at sexualised images of children in Japanese media.

There's a term for that son, it's a lot worse than hypocrite.

It'll be because (and this is hardly a spoiler seeing as it's in the DLC and widely known) Ellie is gay. Rocketman got banned there for the same reasons.

Put out a trailer where people get limbs broken and eviscerated then that's just fine and dandy, but don't even think of falling in love with someone with the same genitals. I'm sorry but I just can't fathom that way of thinking.

It was no mean feat to get as many songs as they did for this, so it's not an issue far as I'm concerned.

@Xiaolin awwww did I hurt your fee fees by having a different opinion? Did it make you feel a bit better writing anyone who you don't agree with off as a sports/cod fan? Bless.

I get that I'm in the minority here, but this looks boring. JUST MAKE BLOODBORNE 2.

No. Sorry. This looks boring as hell. Really?!?! This is the last hurrah for the PS4?!?!

Just bought Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise and I've yet to finish death stranding, so no. I'll be giving this month a miss 😂

We've gone full Alan Partridge on this one, huh? 😂😂😂😂

What's the difference between the PS5 controller being announced, and a cow?

I sincerely doubt that the push square staff know how to milk a cow....

(Jk lads 😉)

So it's a game where you try and rid the world of EDM?

You son of a beach, I'm in.

Tbh, I've not bothered with this due to other commitments but the whole new console debate seems a little redundant now. It'll be a nice bonus once the coronavirus dies down but that's about it

"It's got a great cast."

"Mark Wahlberg."

So, not a great cast then. Unless his character has been rewritten to be a dull simpleton from Boston who has been stealing a living for years and once blinded a guy in a racially motivated attack, before apologising to the pope for the only good film he's ever done.....

I was blasé about the film, now I actually want it to fail.

@Grindagger you're not alone. I got about two hours in, put it down and had no desire to return.

That intro where the skinny lad is trying to escape, all I could think of was how many sad Brewsters would be dressing up as him in real life.

Yeah... Definitely not for me.

@Jayofmaya they were on the OG xbox

@Akimi Minerva's den is worth the sub this month alone. Excellent DLC.

Good and all, but I know I spent more than 37 hours on some games last year. Red Dead 2 for example should have been top. MGSV I put about seventy hours into, and I'm on Bloodborne regularly. None of those showed in the top 3.

@SoulChimera yes! Finished it last night and it's absolutely brilliant. Tongue in cheek, ott, pure action. The best thing about it is all the little things they didn't have to do, such as the exhibits in the gallery and the vaping. First time I pulled out a grenade pin with my teeth I felt like John McLane. Really hope it gets a sequel on ps5. I want to know what was going on with "that" agent!

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago as I already had some compatible games. I'm really enjoying it! Blood and Truth is great, and the X wing mission on battlefront was lots of fun.

The year is 2097. The latest saints row game is to be released to an audience of dozens. Empires have risen and fallen. The world decimated by climate change and war. Of the millions who survived such tribulation, one thing unites them all.

None of them give the remotest toss about Johnny Gat.

@GodGamer so if I see footage of the game, read reviews of it which point out that the gameplay isn't something I'd enjoy, and disagree with a score based on the text of a review not matching the numerical score given, I should play it anyway? Surely reviews are there to inform purchase? In this case it looks like something I wouldn't enjoy, so I won't be spending fifty quid on it. If there was a demo then I'd be happy to try it, but I don't see why I should drop the cash on this right now.

Absolutely yes. Whether you like the look of DS or not (and I'm not buying right away. It just doesn't appeal to me personally), Kojima is immensely talented and has made some incredible games. Sony having him on board is a massive coup for them, and I'm eager to see what he's planning next.

I mean, Paul Verhoeven made RoboCop, Total Recall, and starship troopers. I don't write him off because I thought Showgirls was awful!

I reckon it'll make a profit, but I'd hope that it does really well.
I'm not buying it day one (just got PS Now and I'm addicted to Fallout New Vegas right now), but I'll pick it up at some point. Might not be too appealing (to me! Not to everyone) gameplay wise but it's Kojima and looks like the plot will be enough for me to enjoy it.

Played about two hours of P5 last night and I've pretty much got trains and pressed X a lot. Does it get better? Seems more like a visual novel than a "game" so far.

@GodGamer that's not what I said. What I mean is that if the vast majority is made up of fetch quests, and the main challenge comes from not falling over then that's not a AAA title with original gameplay, it's qwop with cutscenes.

The review doesn't really sound like a 10/10 for me. Hours in the middle where it's not much fun, and gameplay which seems to be reliant on others who've played before.

Would it be a mistake to wait with this? If you pick the game up a few months after release, would you find that there were safehouses every two minutes and safe routes everywhere?

I also take exception with the hyperbolic description of Res 4's inventory juggling. Maybe Liam thinks this was a highlight of that game, but it wasn't a huge draw personally. That and the mechanics of DS themselves don't sound much fun at all.

Don't get me wrong, it looks phenomenal and plot wise I'm definitely interested, but the lack of combat and the seemingly repetitive gameplay is really putting me off this.

Think I'm gonna hold off on this one.

I've got the original Nacon Revolution controller and I really like the layout. It's probably the best pad I've ever used. Honestly don't get the problem with the asymmetrical sticks. They're comfy!

"Bring the title back in all its glory, but it's a project that's perfect for the DLC model of today. Get a Battle Royale mode in there along with new tracks, characters, and skins and the jobs a good'un."

GOOD GOD NO. We've enough gouging, greedy, crap on current gen systems without adding more. One look at the backlash to CTR tells you all you need there.

@oldschool1987 ouch. So that's a hard no then. See I don't mind being PC and inclusive, it's a good thing. It's just when it's done so hamfistedly you can almost see the writers room where they all try and get their little virtue signals in to the detriment of the plot. It's at best distracting and at worst patronising.

Haven't watched it since they had Matt Smith running around telling people it's ok to cry. Is it still terrible?

@AdamNovice that's true, and most of my friends are big on soccer. However, these annual sports titles are like CoD. Fans buy them every year, and people who don't buy them usually don't want them.

Nope. Humanity I didn't see, that hohokum looking thing and the Viking one have flop written all over them, civilization is not the type of game I play, after-party looks boring, cod looks ok, TLOU 2 looks amazing but then it's a day one anyway. I don't care for the special edition death stranding console, and the plus lineup is a total s%©¥show.

Crap unless you like baseball and for some reason haven't played TLOU. Haven't they learned from the pes debacle that sports games should be left out of plus?

Looks good but captain price's face looks a bit weird. Like his eyes are too small and his nose is too big.

@tomassi there are a lot of people who don't like football. They're not usually "nerds" or "basement dwellers" either. There's quite a few on this site, come to think of it.
As for boxing, my grandad used to box years ago in Liverpool so he taught me from a young age. Wouldn't say that most boxers are travellers either. Totally different thing, that. From your description I think that if you ever did meet me in person you'd probably be quite shocked. If you were going to make assumptions it would probably be more "that guy definitely drinks craft beer and collects vinyl".
Yeah, I'll give you that it's popular across the board, but most people who want PES own it already. Those who don't usually just play FIFA instead. They're sort of their own industry as opposed to games now.
Still, glad it got changed. PES is probably going to be about a quid in a month anyway.

@tomassi it's not really that ridiculous an argument. There was a huge backlash, Sony listened. There's obviously a lot of people who feel like I do.
As for the bullied at school part, it's a bit of a generalisation to say that. I was actually quite into boxing and basketball at school, but I don't play boxing or sports games in general.
FIFA sells to people who play mainly FIFA. It's a hobby for them, same as CoD or Battlefield. The only difference is that it's deemed acceptable to kick a ball about in your spare time. The comment about banning FPS games doesn't stand up, as the equivalent would be that it encourages players to join the army as opposed to indiscriminately murder people.
Not everyone who likes football is an idiot, obviously. Most of my friends do.
Thing is, all of the morons I've met are super into it as well, while everyone I've known who hates it tends to have done quite well for themselves.

@tomassi when was the last time you went for a quiet pint and had idiots screaming at the TV while someone played Borderlands? Ever been stuck in traffic for an hour because the police have stopped traffic for a parade honouring fictional androids?
Nope. There's enough emphasis placed on football already. A lot of people don't like it, a huge proportion of whom are big on video games, and Sony listened to them

I'm not that keen on Detroit, but it's a vast improvement on that utter detritus. There's football EVERYWHERE, people. Go see or play it. Pick up an old football game for 50p from CeX or something. Quit your whining because people who hate this garbage have to put up with literally hundreds of hours per year of people talking, playing, shouting, or generally being idiots about it.

Yeah I'll likely give this a go. I used to like outrun years ago, and god knows I won't be playing f@&!ing PESant.

This is actually the worst month ever for me. I'm not bothered about racing but I actively despise football.

I was just hoping to see a load of buff lads. 🤷‍♂️

WE'RE NOT GONNA PLAY IT. NO, WE AIN'T GONNA PLAY IT.

@RogerRoger bugger.

Guess I'll have to go to a better restaurant.

If Spurs win that means no parade tomorrow here in Liverpool. No parade means town won't be full of knobheads, and no knobheads means I can go for a nice roast dinner.

For the love of God, please let spurs win this. Love a nice roast dinner, me.

@BridgeToClarity nice to see a fellow Yob fan on here. Amazing band.

I'd like to see a decent blockbuster title and a smaller indie. Something like Ghost Recon Wildlands and Hyper Light Drifter.

Ikaruga. I'm seriously addicted!

@ShogunRok I'm probably in the minority but I was underwhelmed by MW remastered (played the original to death and not interested in MP), and I just didn't like The Witness.

I've wanted the Surge for a while so I'll give that a go. Good month for me!

"right now I'm really worried about what to do"

I mean, I'm not an expert or anything, but stop making games which sexualise kids? Might be a good shout.

@tomassi @circasurviver

If you two are named after Rollo Tomassi and Circa Survive, then congratulations on your stellar music tastes. See? You've got good things in common. Live the dream, lads. Now, on topic: this Titanfall abomination which we're getting instead of another excellent campaign and sequel to Titanfall 2 is a complete let down.

@Weegee71 depending on how big a fan of the series you are, you can pick up a PS3 and a copy of the game for about the same price as a new AAA release. For a souls fan it's totally worth it, but just be aware (if you weren't already) that the servers are off now so it may feel a little empty.
Personally, I like not having the online element sometimes. It reinforces the whole "staggering odds" deal, but if you want the true experience then it's sadly long gone.
