I got mine and thought it was decent platinum, you only have to do 1 side quest after the main story to plat if you do everything before the last mission, great game, great list!!
@Max_the_German Very true mate, excellent point. Takes it nearer to the best price I have seen over here, think it was Argos around £380. I would say anything less than £400 is a good deal but less than £350 is a bargain.
Great news for them, I really enjoyed the game and more so the VR experience, IMO those levels were up there with the best VR had to offer (PSVR) along with SW Squadrons it was just amazing being in the cockpit looking around - really immersive stuff!
Having finally finished SM2 (class game) I am moving onto Robocop and a bit of Mario Wonder, should have been dabbling with Final Fight on my new Super Pocket but Bezos has mucked it up and it's delayed
Happy gaming folks!
@Th3solution one of the best games ever IMO, Kim is a legend!
What a year for games, I think BG3 will win, haven't played it myself but I will when the physical version comes out it is just that I am pretty sure I haven't heard a bad word about it.
Got mine day one and have loved it ever since, I went from the Pro to this which was in itself and awesome console but this is just that much better IMO. Can't wait to hook up the VR2 at Xmas!!
Has Hogwarts been in the charts since release? If so WB must have serious sales figures, I expected it to sell well but in the top 10 for most if not all of the year is pretty ridiculous, Kudos to them.
I do plan on getting round to this, haven't played Like a Dragon yet but keen to get around to them eventually. I actually preferred the spin off Judgement series but both are top tier IMO.
It is for me, loved every minute the combat is superb and the axe is well..... incredible. I had no issue with the length, I didn't want it to end to be honest, they took everything that was great from 2018 and made it better IMO.
As a collector I am physical all day but it is a b*mmer I miss out on some indies and such games as Alan Wake 2 & Baldur's Gate 3 although the latter hasn't completely closed the door on a physical release so I am hopeful.
@Jayslow Me too my friend, having already got the plat this would give me a good reason/excuse to start over again as I haven't bothered with the DLC, such a good game IMO and an enjoyable plat to boot.
@Mephisto2869 Hi buddy, I have got the first PSVR and loved it although I haven't popped it back on for a few months now with the release calendar being stacked this year. Absolutely adored Astro & Moss but my favourite so far is possibly Ace Combat or SW Squadrons, just everything I had dreamed of as a child - flying Tie Fighters and X-wings.
To think the PSVR2 is so much better I really can not wait!!!
Great news, a welcome upgrade as mentioned in the article, driver AI is pretty terrible just brake a bit later and you are through as the AI keep to the driving line too rigidly. Amazing game, can't wait for Xmas to play it in VR
Brilliant game 9/10 for me, I think it takes the more stream lined approach like MM and is better for it, I am don't want it end which says it all really. Gliding is an excellent addition and it is buttery smooth! I really enjoyed some of the side quests, find grandpa was a particular favourite.
I will be gliding (even better than swinging) through New York with more fabulous Spider Man 2, I don't want it to end but it must then I might try Mario Wonder before Robocop next week
Great news for a brilliant game, loving it so far, I must admit though I am finding myself gliding more than swinging, the swinging is awesome as always but the gliding is just superb!!
@Acurisur That is a great deal buddy, I agree, whilst I haven't finished it yet I can already tell it is going to get another play through, loving it so far.
This is another day 1 for me although i doubt I will have finished Spider Man 2 in time for release but I will have it here waiting.
I do hope the training ground trophy is not like the gauntlet in Titanfall 2, that was my plat killer right there and as Robocop is one of my all time favourite films I want the plat on this big time!
Perfect thank you @LiamCroft , really appreciate you highlighting to circle back to the guide knowing nothing is miss-able as you rightly point out it helps to avoid spoilers. Good to know we don't need a new game plus unlike MM
Any selection with Disco Elysium in it is a win, I've played it but glad more will get the opportunity to try it and hopefully enjoy it though it won't be everyone's cup of tea!
Tekken 6 and House of Ashes will be my first plays.
Absolutely loved T2, brilliant campaign (one of the best) but I honestly couldn't get to grip with the multiplayer, admittedly I came to the game late so that doesn't help.
T2 was also the game which the platinum broke me, I just could not for the love of all things holy do that Gauntlet trophy despite hours/days/months of trying
I've started SF6 and it is excellent, loving world tour almost a simple Yakuza game in that format with crazy characters & side quests. Not keen on Chun Li though in this one, those legs/thighs look silly.
I'm with you both, I have looked many times for the feature we had on the PS4 where it would automatically log on at set times during the night (or whenever you set it) to check for updates. Never had to turn a game on and wait for an update as it was done in the middle of the night, PS5 should have done this out of the blocks or have I missed that option somewhere?!?
@sorteddan Brilliant game mate. I trust you are using the Konami code for extra cash. Some of the arcade games are cool, I really enjoyed Woodgal, Attack Vector and Racer Chaser but Zombat was probably my favourite, some good tunes in there too from the games and he duke box.
@Zuljaras I am very impressed you make you own games, looks really good. I have many ideas but wouldn't know where to start on what software of anything so kudos to you buddy 👍
Gotham Knights for me, picked it up for £12 and it is worth that so far, playing as Batgirl as she plays mostly like Batman - naturally.
Finishing off Alan Wake, first time and really enjoying it, controls are slightly dated by today's standards but it is a great story. Haven't had the chance to start Double Dragon yet so hoping for some of that too.

Happy gaming everyone
Re: Portal's GLaDOS Rips into The Talos Principle 2 in Genius Promo Video
@TJ81 Nice one buddy, I will definitely check it out, pretty sure the first one is on PS+ which is a winner!
Re: Portal's GLaDOS Rips into The Talos Principle 2 in Genius Promo Video
Brilliant, I think Glados' voice is so soothing, as the article says brings back really good memories of Portal.
Never tried the first Talos Principle, now I think I should and hopefully move on to this one!!

Re: Gran Turismo 7's New Advanced PS5 AI Could Change Racing Games Forever
@Futureshark @EnragedGibbon @Dobbos @Shepherd_Tallon
Thanks folks, I was hyped already but even more so now
I quite enjoyed the limited VR experience we got in the last one on the PSVR, it was clearly just a taster though!

Re: Poll: Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bugs are Apparently a Real Problem, But Have You Had Any?
Nothing for me thankfully, shame for those that do.
I am playing from disc, installed fine and plays awesome!
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Is Immediately the Fastest-Selling PlayStation Studios Game Ever
Great news for a brilliant game, loving it so far, I must admit though I am finding myself gliding more than swinging, the swinging is awesome as always but the gliding is just superb!!
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Director: This Game Is Worth the Money

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Director: This Game Is Worth the Money
I didn't pay £70 was only £62 on Amazon but it is worth £70 IMO, complete and polished right out of the box!
Re: This Is Probably the Most Spectacular Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Marketing Yet

Re: Video: Spider-Man 2 Is a Big Graphical Upgrade in Side-by-Side Comparison

More Street Fighter 6 for me and also a bit of Flashback on the Evercade now my Delphine cartridge has arrived.
Happy gaming everyone 👍
Re: There's Something Weird Going on with Titanfall 2 Right Now
Absolutely loved T2, brilliant campaign (one of the best) but I honestly couldn't get to grip with the multiplayer, admittedly I came to the game late so that doesn't help.
T2 was also the game which the platinum broke me, I just could not for the love of all things holy do that Gauntlet trophy despite hours/days/months of trying
T3 would be a day one for sure.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 494
I've started SF6 and it is excellent, loving world tour almost a simple Yakuza game in that format with crazy characters & side quests. Not keen on Chun Li though in this one, those legs/thighs look silly.
Games got real personality, so far, so good.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 489
I'm finishing off some trophies Double Dragon, it's OK, no TMNT or SoR4 but fun enough for £20.
I will also be playing The Legend of Silkroad and Dragon Master on the new Evercade cartridge (Piko Aracade 1) - should be fun!
Plus lot's of Premier League football
Happy gaming folks!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 488
