I go where the best games are and Sony consistently wins there, Microsoft don't even show up to that battle as far as I'm concerned. Although they have got Obsidian now, so I suspect I'll miss out in not playing their games.
@Rob_230 @naruball It hasn't just happened to me, I promise you. They are indeed good, up until the point they make a mistake. The customer service is non existent when that happens, the price you pay for going with them. If you do manage to speak with them, they are always rude and unhelpful. Worth being aware of.
I feel the PS4's best year was easily when Bloodborne & The Witcher 3 launched back to back. 2020 may trump that, no guarantees of course. Plenty of big triple A titles have been hugely disappointing this generation. But I'm cautiously optimistic we'll see some fantastic titles.
I am incredibly angry about this, despite the fact it's probably been lost in translation. I'm going to protest by eating spaghetti bolognese. Maniacal laugh
@rjejr Haha, yes FF7 all day long. I'm definitely no fan of Fortnite but I'd personally have more fun playing that than Fifa. One of the most boring games there is for me.
There will always be some who are very resistant to change or anything new. Video games is one of those things where it's inevitable that things will move forward for better or worse.
With the amount of remakes and remasters we're getting these days it's clear there's plenty of room for both old and new. No need to be scared folks, the games you know and love aren't going anywhere soon.
Usually it's the indie game that I'm looking forward to but this month I definitely prefer the look of Nioh. No surprise I suppose, considering the avatar.
Good, a game that's made for everyone is not a game I'm interested in playing. Nice to see a big budget game that actually tries something different rather than mimic whatever is currently trending.
Sounds decent, I wonder what other classic Disney remasters might be in the works. Odd they never put Ducktales remastered on the PS4, that was really good.
Now they've shown their true colours, I'm looking forward to seeing them being given a hard time at BlizzCon. Seems likely this thing will escalate there and it would be well deserved considering their behaviour and total disregard for their own so called values.
Heard there are some boycotting this over the scandal with acti-blizzard over their stance with free speech, human rights, etc. Guessing it won't make much of a dent in sales though, these things rarely do but perhaps there will be a big impact if things carry on.
I would agree that Bloodborne is the best, but Dark Souls 1 is a close 2nd. Admittedly I've not properly played Demon's Souls, hopefully a remake is in the works as rumoured.
TLOU does indeed have a great soundtrack that makes an outstanding game even better, it's not exactly relaxing to listen to though. So as much as I love a video game soundtrack I'm not convinced the remix is something I'd enjoy outside of playing the game.

Re: Blacksad: Under the Skin - A 1950s Whodunit with More Bugs Than Mysteries
Nice review, hopefully they fix it, looks like there's a fun game there with a bit more TLC.

Re: Site News: We're Looking for a Vibrant Video Producer to Lead Push Square to YouTube Glory
If I can guarantee that I'll start arguing with everyone who leaves a comment on the video, does that get me shortlisted?

Re: Rumour: Did the Release Date for Dreams Just Get Leaked by ShopTo?
Looking forward to it!
Just don't buy it from them, they'll charge you for three copies and tell you it's your fault.
Re: Naughty Dog Has 'Big Ambitions' for Its Next Multiplayer Project
I'm a bit concerned after they introduced pay to win microtransations into the game last time. It was a lot of fun until they did that.

Re: Hardware Review: Sennheiser GSP 370 Wireless Headset for PS4 - Incredibly Reliable, Top Quality Gaming Headgear
Sounds decent but a bit late in the day now, I'm waiting on the perfect headset for PS5.
Re: Globalising PlayStation Doesn't Mean Americanisation, Says Sony

Can't say I feel any better getting Fifa!

Re: Persona 5 Scramble Is a Direct Sequel to Persona 5, Development Is 90% Complete
Unexpected, what a curious name for the game, sounds like a mobile phone game spin off.
Re: No, BioWare Is Not Teasing a Dragon Age 4 Reveal for Next Month
I was actually hoping for an Anthem 2 announcement.
Re: Feature: How a French Firm Created PS4's Answer to the Xbox Elite Controller
Impressive numbers, I've yet to be convinced they're worth getting over the official ones but always nice to have the choice.
Re: Soapbox: Return of the Obra Dinn Is Outstanding, Save for One Blasted Trophy
I can imagine their was a maniacal laugh from whoever the developer was when they had the idea for that trophy. Mwahahaha..
Re: Soapbox: Cyberpunk 2077 Could Become a Victim of Its Own Immense Hype
I'll admit I'll be surprised if it doesn't score a 10. But it's one of the few games I would trust a developer enough to place a pre-order.
Re: Outer Wilds - An Engaging, Open Ended Sci-Fi Mystery
@AdamNovice
Tune in this time next week for The Outer Welds.
All about a supernatural being called the Outer who loves to weld stuff, obviously.
Re: Gallery: Diablo 4 Concept Art Is Beautifully Grim, Shows Characters, Environments, and More
What are the odds of one of the hard to find secret levels being the 100 Acre Wood?
Re: Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Next Revolutionary Masterpiece
@Futureshark
The ending cinematic for Metal Gear Solid 4 was 2 hours long as I recall. Might have been confused with that?
Great review, Liam. You've definitely got me interested in playing this one, sounds like an experience.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for November 2019?
Usually it's the indie game that I'm looking forward to but this month I definitely prefer the look of Nioh. No surprise I suppose, considering the avatar.
Re: ANTHEM Head of Live Service Departs BioWare
In good hands!
Excellent, well that's me completely reassured. Full steam ahead, choo choo!
Re: Round Up: Death Stranding Reviews Show Hideo Kojima's Latest Is a Divisive Experience
@Dange
Yes, my two most trusted sites for reviews as well.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - A Great Campaign Rescues an Otherwise Safe Reimagining
Co-op was by far the best bit for me in previous cods so thanks for the information on that. Easy pass for me.
Re: EA Gives Mass Effect Fans Hope with Confirmation of 'Exciting Remasters' Coming Soon
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite remaster on Playstation.
Re: Alien: Derelict Is One of Dreams' Most Impressive Creations Yet
Excellent, still loving these Dreams spotlights, please keep them coming. The atmosphere and detail in the video there is brilliant.
Re: Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King - A Comprehensive Nostalgia Trip

Re: Soapbox: The Outer Worlds Highlights Just How Far Fallout Has Fallen
Both Bioware and Bethesda as a developer have been incredibly disappointing this generation. To the point where I've lost all faith in both.
But if we look at Final Fantasy 15 and Metal Gear Solid 5, they were released in a very much unfinished state as well.
So i can only imagine what some of these publishers will try to pull next generation where things will be even more challenging.
Re: Almost 5 Years After Its Release, PS4, PS3, and Vita Co-Op Shooter Helldivers Is Getting a Big Update
Nice, good reason to redownload it, looking forward to trying the changes.
Re: Talking Point: If Bluepoint Games Isn't Working on Demon's Souls, What's Your Dream Sony Remake?
I'd love some G-Police. Nothing quite like that has been on PlayStation for a long long time, and it was fantastic.
Re: Check Those Corners! Leaked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Is Spotted in the Wild
Heard there are some boycotting this over the scandal with acti-blizzard over their stance with free speech, human rights, etc. Guessing it won't make much of a dent in sales though, these things rarely do but perhaps there will be a big impact if things carry on.
Re: September 2019 NPD: 2K Games on Top As Industry Declines Continue
Nice to see Resi 2 up there, should be at number one really.
Re: Bloodborne Is the Best Souls Game, and Even Souls Creator Knows It
I would agree that Bloodborne is the best, but Dark Souls 1 is a close 2nd. Admittedly I've not properly played Demon's Souls, hopefully a remake is in the works as rumoured.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Concrete Genie's Wishes Dashed As PS4 Exclusive Flops in Shops
That top ten makes me sad. A shame for CG, hope they didn't do too badly.
Re: Baldurs Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack - Old School RPGs Have Still Got It
Looks like fun! How much space does it take up on the hdd?
Re: Random: Untitled Goose Game Infiltrates Metal Gear Solid in Incredible Dreams Creation
Looks excellent, great work.
Re: Habroxia - A No-Frills Arcade Shmup on PS4
@gbanas92
Interesting to know, thanks! Cool that you tested both versions.
Re: Habroxia - A No-Frills Arcade Shmup on PS4
I'm surprised you didn't mention it's also on the Vita. A new game on the Vita is always great news, right?
Re: Frostpunk - Alternate History City Builder Survives Against The Odds
This sounds fun, might wait for a sale though by which point they would hopefully have squished a few of those major bugs.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 292
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Challenging as always but very satisfying taking down those bosses.
Re: Resident Evil Brings Horror to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne in November
haha, nice, you know they'd do a Resi crossover eventually. Claire or Leon with an HMG could be pretty awesome.
Re: Project Resistance Beta Testers Uncover Resident Evil 3 Save Room Theme Song In-Game
They'd be mad not to give us a remake of 3. Just a matter of timing I think. Will they wait for the PS5 to maximise sales?
Re: Random: Death Stranding x Zelda: Breath of the Wild Is a Crossover for Our Wishlist
Nah. Could be fun seeing him traverse Horizon Zero Dawn terrain, I could actually see them doing that.
Re: Demon's Souls Remaster Rumours Just Won't Go Away
I didn't get particularly far on my first attempt on this game so I hope the PS5 remake rumour is true. Would be the perfect reason to try again.
Re: The Last of Us Soundtrack Gets Remixed in Gorgeous Tribute Album

Re: Star Wars Jedi Story Trailer Is Its Best Yet
Would give it a whirl if it came to ps+. Must be decent considering the devs who are making it.
Re: Sony Announces State of Play Broadcast for Next Week, Promises New Game Reveals and Updates
Could it be.. a new G-Police!?
Re: E3 as We Know It Is Dead, E3 2020 Set to Be a 'Fan, Media, and Influencer Festival'
I concur, this does sound awful. Going to steer well clear of it.
