Nothing’s really grabbing me at the moment so I’ll keep up my addiction to Hunt Showdown. Having been a gamer for 30 years, it’s up there as one of my all time favourites
I enjoyed the first beta. At first I thought it was awful- far too slow movement, half the weapons didn’t seem to do any damage yet I’d get killed almost instantly by other players. But it clicked after a few games and I started to really enjoy it… but as others have rightly said, not enough to pay for it when there are f2p titles that scratch the same itch.
It needs to be free or day one on ps plus to stand any chance at all.
Haven’t been able to get into a game since Friday. I get there are issues being worked on, and I have plenty of other games to play, but it still sucks. I just want to spread managed democracy like a good patriot.
@lolwhatno it’s all good, I actually got a better job with more pay- go me! Do yourself a favour and get Elden Ring, but maybe not when you’re studying for uni
By the way, which uni are you hoping to go to, and to study what? Ironically, I work in international education providing english exams for uni entry, so if I can ever be of any help, let me know!
@lolwhatno aww thanks mate, that’s nice of you to say. Yeah, I’ve been lying low recently- new job has meant less time to make childish comments online! I made the mistake of buying Elden Ring and Horizon, and there was only ever going to be one (tarnished) winner.
Hell yeah!! I had stopped my daily addiction to this game because I was getting too fed up with the sluggishness on PS5. This will bring me straight back to the bayou.
@Gloamin A massive badge of recommendation. The most tense, stressful yet rewarding game I've played in years. It has been crying out for some console love and this new patch would appear to do just that, especially on PS5
@dellyrascal Be careful. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bezos flying over the horizon on a delivery drone, Ride of the Valkyries blaring out, as he demands his money.
Picked up Insurgency Standstorm on a bit of a whim and I’m very glad I did. Runs beautifully on ps5 and the gun play is excellent, so I’ll be putting a few more hours into this over the weekend
LOL! Something tells me that readers of this site aren't the target demographic for this game. Sure, it looks rubbish but I bet if I showed my kids this they'd beg me for it (I won't be showing them, obviously, I'm not that stupid)
Obviously, I hope anyone who plays this enjoys it but man I just do not get what people see in SWERY's games. Is it because they're so far out and weird that people will overlook the technical issues? Or what?
As an avid Hunt: Showdown player, this is the mode I'm most excited for. Hunt has a great community and playing with randoms is usually not a problem- I hope the same will be true with this as teamwork will be so important, although I have my concerns.
I've been reading up on Hell Let Loose and checking out some gameplay. Can't wait to fire it up tonight, maybe with a few rounds of golf to ease the tension
After a slightly laborious first couple of hours I’m enjoying it hugely. It’s more a puzzle game with guns than anything else, and the way things start to come together as you work out how to line up your targets is immensely satisfying.
@Deadlyblack I don't think it will as it's only been designed for TV speakers. I have a 5:1 soundbar and with the 3d audio activated it sounds worse than normal. I think an update for soundbars and surround sound setups is coming in the future
I refuse to play this objectively good game until it has parity with the version developed for the company who now owns it, or they pay for discs, cases, artwork, and shipping so I can have a physical copy, or it’s on sale… Seriously, what’s up with everyone nowadays?
Played the closed beta for a little while and didn't click with it at all. I think it was mainly due to playing with randoms who spent most of their time shooting me for no reason and then messaging me to quit. I guess it would be totally different with friends, it's just a shame I don't have any I play online with regularly

Nothing for me that I don’t already own, but that’s beside the point- great idea suggesting some titles. Hope you repeat this for future sales!

Re: Hunt: Showdown Ending Support on PS4, Will Be PS5 Only from August
@GloriosaDaisy it’s been around for 4 or 5 years and is long overdue an upgrade. Was designed for PCs and the ps4 could only just handle it

Yes! My favourite ps4 game, can’t wait for this
