Honestly the crazy amount of details in this game is absurd, You can't really appreciate a game like this blasting through the main quests. Just hanging around with characters or watching the machines interact with the environment is super impressive, Early in the game I hid in-between trees and behind buildings/rocks to avoid being attacked only for said environmental object to be smashed/bent and have me running from danger with my jaw on the floor. Everything you do seems to change/impact the environment which is brilliant.
I take my hat off to everyone at Guerrilla for an amazing game they have created. Loved every second and still going to explore this world for some time yet.
The spongebob game seems like light hearted fun, I played the tutorial before hitting the pubs earlier and it'll be a nice pallette cleanser before getting back into more tricky/heavy themed games!
Not sure yet, probably more HFW, even though I have the platinum as of the early hours this morning. 137 hours 90.74% still some bandit outposts, a race and one final collectable along with machine variants and data points.
Might give GG Strive a spin with the new character and start something like Death's door.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone wherever you are and whatever your up to!
I barely have time to play all the PS+ games I already have access to because I buy plenty games, subscription services don't really do it for me. £70 for a top quality AAA game is fine.
I wouldn't want them to lower the quality of games and mainly be mtx and multiplayer focused titles as then I'd just not bother with gaming.
103 hours into HFW and still plenty to do. Got myself an extremely aggressive acid clawstrider called Ripper so just exploring with him and possibly another main quest later this evening!
@MrGilly69 the Horizon games if you haven't played those. I loved the first one and the second one improves upon it in every way, currently have 103 hours done and nowhere near finished!
@Kidfunkadelic83 this for me too. With HZD I have somehow accumulated over 200 photos, it would be nice to just access them through the app rather than faffing about.
@lolwhatno I was just messing with you my man 😜. I have a few quests lined up which are only possible due to that ability and the CGI trailer sneakily put it in at the end, so I was just having some fun.
HFW, 85 hours in and still not uncovered all the map yet at about 54% completion. Stopped for a beach photoshoot, think I'm going to go around cataloguing all wildlife, machines and even the different tribes. Aloy will be the Attenborough of her time (if it wasn't for her 109 human kills, 54 headshots 😂).
I like the look of this, like others have said PS tends to be harsher with their scores but I'd rather that than just slapping 1's or 10's in everything.
Can't wait to play this one but I'm still engrossed in HFW, I just hope all these 10/10 scores are not just crazy critics and it's as good as people are saying!
65 hours into HFW, Just superb spent most of today doing Scavenge contracts but tonight I'm heading a little further west to advance the main story.
Really looking forward to playing Elden Ring to see what all the fuss is about but that probably won't be for a while.
If I'm lucky I'll get it a fair bit cheaper and the frame rate issues will be sorted, if not no Biggie played loads of games over the years with frame rate issues.
@Anke looking at your PSNprofile your obviously a keen platinum hunter. I will platinum this but I'm not using fast travel anytime soon unless it's for a trophy.
@TheArt @Chylde_Of_Shade to be fair to Anke it does say on their PSNprofile they platted the game in 2 day 14 hours. But when I say 100% I mean do Everything and not just the minimum for the platinum!
@Yorgen I've been playing since launch and not had any issues. I think it's down to luck, plus I'm just taking my time and exploring everywhere so haven't seen all the game has to offer yet.
Really really love this game, 50+ hours at 33% completion, didn't play much last night as I made the mistake of having "A quick go" of super monkey Ball 😂.
Over 40 hours into HFW, preparing for the Kulrut but not before I finish taking Aloy on a photo shoot. Also some Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania and boy some of the courses are brutal but still a fun time!
Only about 25% done with Horizon FW, will play Elden Ring later in the year possibly, they need to stop pumping out games so I can get through my backlog.
@mrtennis1990 So much great stuff out there, depends how far back your willing to go. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Death Note, Your Name, Evangelion Just a few off the top of my head!
@Jacko11 If I remember correctly, I believe it was planned/written as a trilogy. But I could be wrong.
@TheArt I'm just over 30 hours in and loving it, my plan is not to fast travel anywhere. Level 20 with about 20% game completion, so much to see and do and I'll happily take DLC and fingers crossed at least one more full game!
Will definitely pick this up in the future but right now I've got HFW on PS5 and Breath of the Wild on Switch. I'll need to play some of my backlog that isn't open world then jump in. Maybe all these unfinished reviews are a nod to Mr Martin himself 😂
I've heard a lot of good things about this game and Guardians are one of my favourite Marvel properties, Just a bit scunnered with the barrage of Star Wars and Marvel stuff since Disney bought them over. Will definitely play it at some point!
Sony's marketing did the trick. It's all over bus stops here in Aberdeen. Plus an army of dedicated fans of the first game. Well deserved from what I've played so far!
New rule nobody can post a review anywhere until they have the platinum trophy 😂
I love the game, I knew I would like it as HZD is my favourite PS4 game. It's like my new Star Wars, just love being in that world. It's a dangerous place but I feel at home running around as Aloy taking down machines with my arsenal of weapons.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West's 1.09 Patch Makes Looting So Much Better
I've been so immersed in this beautiful game that I didn't even notice, surely the animations aren't that long?
Maybe gamers are just an impatient bunch these days. Flying through one game to get to the next.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for April 2022?
@Johnnycide never too old for SpongeBob
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 420
@Rob_230 Only about 100 or so hours to go if you play it like me 😉
Didn't use fast travel once and still not tempted to use it even after credits rolled and platinum achieved, enjoy the journey. It's a hell of a game!
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 6
9/15 not too bad.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 420
@Hootnoodle get well soon. At least you have plenty stuff to entertain yourself with whilst your stuck inside.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Patch 1.09 Is Out Now, Here Are the Patch Notes
@thechetearly riding machines is brilliant though, I'm constantly stopping for photos which adds even more time to my play through.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Patch 1.09 Is Out Now, Here Are the Patch Notes
I've been away for a few days, looking forward to jumping back in and playing more and now with even more fixes
awesome.
@mrtennis1990 same here. 113 hours with 70% completion, Loving every second. Enjoy your time in the Forbidden West!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 419
@TheArt I'm in awe that your playing both at the same time. Once I finish HFW I'll play some smaller games and then get ER!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 419
103 hours into HFW and still plenty to do. Got myself an extremely aggressive acid clawstrider called Ripper so just exploring with him and possibly another main quest later this evening!

@Kidfunkadelic83 this for me too. With HZD I have somehow accumulated over 200 photos, it would be nice to just access them through the app rather than faffing about.
I meant HFW but the first game is also a stunner!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 418
@lolwhatno I was just messing with you my man 😜. I have a few quests lined up which are only possible due to that ability and the CGI trailer sneakily put it in at the end, so I was just having some fun.

Re: Hideo Kojima's New Project Getting Lots of Sony Love
@lolwhatno Aye, don't mess with the Stranded (that's what I'm calling us). It's a great game but it's definitely not for everyone.
Re: Hideo Kojima's New Project Getting Lots of Sony Love
Death Stranding was amazing, looking forward to playing whatever he comes up with next. Hope to one day play the MGS series!

Re: UK Sales Charts: WWE 2K22 Can't Pin Down Gran Turismo 7 for Number One
Great to see all those games doing great my only question is why is there a photo of some stage lighting equipment included in the article?😜

Re: Poll: We Want You to Rate Your Favourite PS5 Games
Of all the ones I own, Destruction All-Stars and Dirt 5 scored lowest with 6's.
Guilty Gear Strive would have been a 10 if there was more single player content.
Re: 13 Per Cent of Horizon Forbidden West Players Have Finished the Story on PS5, PS4
@TheArt I'll probably buy ER later on get it cheaper and hopefully no other games to distract me.
Re: 13 Per Cent of Horizon Forbidden West Players Have Finished the Story on PS5, PS4
@RBMango only done 1 race so far but loved it and my Aloy will be ultimate machine strike champion one day. 😂
Re: 13 Per Cent of Horizon Forbidden West Players Have Finished the Story on PS5, PS4
First open world game where I'm not using fast travel. It's great just wondering from place to place and so many great diversions.
Edit: 50+ hours in 33% on my way to get the second of 3 important items.

@Anke you cleared the map and did everything that there is to do as well as get the platinum in 2 days 😳 that's crazy!

Re: Rocket League Season 6 Gets Animated with New Cel-Shaded Cosmetics, Arena, and More
@get2sammyb Same, been ages since I've played but this will definitely get rotated in with HFW & SMBBM 😊
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 4
9 out of 15. Not bad!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 416
@kyleforrester87 what are those top 3? FF9 for sure is #1
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 416
Over 40 hours into HFW, preparing for the Kulrut but not before I finish taking Aloy on a photo shoot. Also some Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania and boy some of the courses are brutal but still a fun time!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Re: Poll: How Far Into Elden Ring Are You?
Only about 25% done with Horizon FW, will play Elden Ring later in the year possibly, they need to stop pumping out games so I can get through my backlog.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Update 1.06 Available Now, Here Are the Patch Notes
Wow Guerrilla are on the ball, although 40 hours in and yet no problems.
Re: Crunchyroll Absorbing All Funimation Content for Ultimate Anime Library
@mrtennis1990 So much great stuff out there, depends how far back your willing to go. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Death Note, Your Name, Evangelion Just a few off the top of my head!
Re: Soapbox: It's Okay to Enjoy Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West
I'll grab Elden Ring once I'm finished HFW but that could be a while away. Loving every second of HFW.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting DLC Expansions
@Jacko11 If I remember correctly, I believe it was planned/written as a trilogy. But I could be wrong.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend - Issue 415
Mainly be Horizon Forbidden West as it's just so so brilliant and I've barely scratched the surface.
Re: Round Up: Elden Ring PS5, PS4 Reviews Crown One of the Best Games of All Time
