Nothing puts me off PS5 more than this. The sequel machine. We know exactly what we're gonna get. They will be phenomenal games obviously but we know what they are and we know how they'll play etc Still, Bloodborne 2, Mmmmmmmmm...
Well, that was embarrassing. I really don't see the point of this article? Ignoring the fact that the quest was utterly misread, a whole article attacking one side quest in Playstation's biggest (and to many, best) game of the year seems completely unnecessary.
Oh man, I couldn't agree more!! The Switch version of this feature is rather annoying but the 3DS and WiiU both had play diaries and they were fantastic I really hope they add it.
@LN78 Great point mate! If you buy it from a company that doesn't need to prioritise over anything else then we should get a copy as per normal. One can hope.
@mini_piekarnik You're absolutely right mate, they did get worse in the first game. Apparently, the longer you played the more data the game stored in cache and so it had more to load or something along those lines. A simple issue VS Evil told me but one that wasn't addressed before launch. By the end, running around the city going in and out of doors/areas would take forever with very little gameplay in between. Shocking.
This review has absolutely infuriated me. Versus Evil have a lot to answer for pulling this nonsense again. I was unfortunate enough to buy the first game on the Switch and it was an utter, utter mess. After months of waiting and following their page for updates the major issues were never fixed. I had numerous dealings with Obsidian (not their fault, although maybe they could make sure their masterpiece was in competent hands) and VS Evil. Eventually, after a bit of a fight, I managed to get a refund for the game from Nintendo. VS Evil have released another mess of a game and ruined what should have been a sublime experience. For them to release this, in this state, before fixing their first mess is just disgraceful.
I swing back and forth constantly between Bloodborne and the original Dark Souls for which is my favourite. I may one day call it a draw? Today, right now, I would say Bloodborne
Very happy to see this post guys! Epic games is lightyears ahead of anyone when it comes to marketing. I've been gaming for coming up to 30yrs now and last nights event was something I'd never experienced before. It gets a lot of hate in various comments sections but there are millions of people who enjoy the game and like to see something positive in the media
With no E3 presence and borderline silence for months, yeah, expectations were high, of course they were. Sony made it out to be something exciting and it missed the mark in spectacular fashion
@Flaming_Kaiser @JoeBlogs Oh don't get me wrong guys, SHOULD Sony offer a similar service? Absolutely not. They're market leaders with phenomenal first party titles, it would be a foolish move on their part. My point was IF Sony did follow in the Game Pass pattern those 82% would be tested. They're not free games, I appreciate that, but if the likes of God of War, Death Stranding, Spiderman, Horizon etc were all available day one for the monthly cost of a few quid people would be signing up in droves. They'd be mad not to.
Hahahahaha 82% No, what a joke. Maybe people misread the question? It says 'Would you' not 'Should they'. You're telling me 82% of you lovely people wouldn't want hundreds of free games?! Who are you trying to kid. I love my PS4, a lot. But Game Pass is one of the greatest things to happen to gaming. The value gained by subscribers is obscene.
No love for Divekick?? When my friends and I all get together for EVO every year we always have a Divekick Tournament. Hell, we even have a trophy I understand it means more if you know the characters/references etc (I'm so Godlike) but it is hilarious fun to play with a few beers and a bunch of mates!
@Spectra I couldn't agree more mate. I put in a bit of time, about 86 hours i believe, but ultimately I felt it lacked so much of what makes the series great.
Anyone remember PSW (Playstation World)? That magazine was hilarious! They used to review things or have funny stories on the back page. Those features used to have my friends and I in tears of laughter
Thank God for that. I'm massively hyped for the game and have the Kings Edition on pre-order but January is pretty stacked and some breathing space is very much appreciated
I've worked hard to clear the backlog in time for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 which dropped today and Mario Odyssey for Christmas That and Tekken, there's always time for Tekken
@get2sammyb Oh I agree 100% mate, new cars, tracks etc were a given. But there was a lot of talk about a lack of Gran Turismo mode and no mention of anything related on the way. If they had plans in that regard then I'd like to have known. I'm just a little miffed that's all haha
While this is clearly great news I'm still pretty dam furious about it. After getting 100% in the single player I sold my copy as there was nothing else to do. Why oh why didn't they add it in the first place or at least allude to the idea of it coming post launch?!
With Street Fighter V AE, Dragonball FighterZ and Monster Hunter dropping in Jan (not to mention a wealth of games in the backlog!) I for one was relieved to read that title
@Johnnycide @RedMageLanakyn Oh I'm not adverse to a challenge, I have the Plat for Souls 1-3 and Bloodborne (not Demons though ) but sometimes I'd just like to just chill with these games.
Ahhhhhh so THAT'S why?! They quit to character select after the first game for seemingly no reason?! Now we know haha Feena is right, Kazunokos face was a picture

What an E3 that was, Sony dropped the mic after that show . Great times
Re: Sony Unphased by Aggressive Xbox Series X Marketing, CFO Says Proof Will Be in PS5 Sales
The comment worries me a little.
It has remnants of 'Arrogant Sony' in it 🤔
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Will Be Sold on the Strength of Its Sequels
Nothing puts me off PS5 more than this. The sequel machine.
We know exactly what we're gonna get. They will be phenomenal games obviously but we know what they are and we know how they'll play etc
Still, Bloodborne 2, Mmmmmmmmm...
Re: Can You Name the PS4 Game from Just the Box Art?
9 out of 10.
Knack got me 😂
Re: Soapbox: Sony Needs to Share a PS5 Roadmap
Sony's communication would be abysmal by itself.
Compare it to Microsoft though and they look even worse.
Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy VII Remake's Cloud Goes From Hero to Zero in a Single Side Quest

I really don't see the point of this article?

Re: Soapbox: All I Want the PS5 to Do Is Track My Play Time Across Games

I really hope they add it.
Re: Square Enix Confirms No Delay for Final Fantasy VII Remake, But Physical Copies Could Be Postponed
@LN78 Great point mate! If you buy it from a company that doesn't need to prioritise over anything else then we should get a copy as per normal. One can hope.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony's PS5 Deep Dive Live Up to the Hype?
I enjoyed it, I really did.
However, this was absolutely the wrong move by Sony.
Using this to break the deafening silence was a terrible idea

@johncalmc It ran bad mate, really bad. I had been excited to play the game for months and was absolutely gutted

Re: Game of the Year 2018: #7 - Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
For me personally it was an average RPG, a bad Level 5 RPG and an atrocious sequel to one of the best games ever made. A crying shame.
Re: Game of the Year 2018: #9 - Monster Hunter: World
@Spectra I couldn't agree more mate. I put in a bit of time, about 86 hours i believe, but ultimately I felt it lacked so much of what makes the series great.
