I played some of the Yakuza games when they were on GamePass but couldn’t get into them. Some of the others I already have (Metro Exodus, GR Wildlands), and the remaining few don’t really interest me. I just wish they’d give these monthly drops a bit more variety - this month it’s all about Yakuza, last month it was Assassins creed 🙄
Gutted it won’t be out this year, but at the end of the day I’d rather wait a bit longer for a more polished and finished game. Anyway, probably be knee-deep in GoW Ragnarok this Nov/Dec!
I’ve just finished Stray. The game was pretty good, with some gorgeous graphics, especially the lighting. I think PushSquare’s rating of 8/10 was spot on. I’ve now started Raji an ancient epic, which I’m not sure about so far. Still playing F1 2022, AC Origins (though may switch to Odyssey soon). On my Switch I’m playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Mario Kart 8, thanks to wave 2 of the booster pack courses!
I’m pretty burnt out on Valhalla so can’t see myself playing this any time soon. Saying that, I am currently replaying AC Origins thanks to the recent 60fps patch.
I dusted off my Switch so I can play Xenoblade Chronicles 3. On my PS5 I’m still playing Stray and F1 2022. I also bought a couple of indie games in the PS store summer sale - Raji an ancient epic (enhanced edition), and Cloudpunk. Haven’t started either yet, and with Cloudpunk I’m going to wait for the free PS5 upgrade in a few weeks time.
I’m playing Stray, F1 2022, Assassins creed Origins and I hope to finally start Raji an ancient empire (enhanced edition), which I picked up in the PS store summer sale for about £6.
This was never gonna be day 1 for me anyway. I’ll wait till it’s either on PS+ extra or heavily discounted. I have enough games in my backlog anyway, I can’t justify spending £70 on a game I’ve played before.
Do you have to watch it through your PS5? Or can I just set it up on my PS5 then watch it on another device? I have a Roku for my TV and would rather watch through that.
What have they given us since GTAV? Just RDR2. Admittedly the single player was amazing, but it had no DLC. GTAV had no single player DLC. The GTA trilogy remasters were poor. Ffs Rockstar sort yourselves out!
At £/$70 I would yes, it is a cash grab. If it was more reasonably priced then probably not. I’ll probably end up playing it when it comes to PS+ extra/premium.
This is 4 years old so I think we were lucky to even get a 60fps patch, let alone the fact they are going to improve it. I think for a native PS5 version you’ll probably have to wait for the inevitable Crew 3.
“Speculation has it that this will be a vastly different experience to what long-time fans expect, with an emphasis on multiplayer and online connectivity”
If they drop the single player mode completely then I simply won’t buy it.
Didn’t Starfield have a “confirmed” release date of November too? Sorry, I still reckon GoW will slip into 2023…but by god I hope I’m wrong! When we see an article that says “God of War Ragnarok has gone gold” then I’ll get excited 😜
I wish they’d add the option of starting a new game. I haven’t played this since getting my PS5, but don’t want to open another account just for this game.
Well I definitely contributed to F1 2022 making the top spot - I bought the PS5 disc version on Amazon, where it was £55. There’s no way I was paying £70 for it.
I’ve never really got on with FromSoftware games (too hard) but despite this I still ended up buying Elden Ring anyway 🤪 I got into it for a few weeks, and even beat a few early bosses, but eventually the constant beatings I was taking wore me down and I inevitably gave up. I got about 20 hours play out of it so it wasn’t a complete waste of my time or money.
For the last few years I’ve bought the F1 games on Xbox, but have decided to get this one on PS5 for the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Also Amazon have it for £55, a saving of £15.
@Gloamin I’m hoping it comes to PS+ extra, or even GamePass. I know it’s had great reviews, but not sure it’s my cup of tea so would rather try it first.
Subbed to PS+ extra for a year. Already playing Returnal, and have downloaded a couple of racing games to try out. With this and GamePass I now have too many games to play 😂
Wait, what? The new service has only just launched (in Europe at least) and there’s games already leaving?!? Mind you, I wouldn’t worry too much about missing out on SW3 as it’s hugely disappointing.
I went for PS+ extra for a year, which works out only £7 per month. The one thing I like that GamePass doesn’t offer (as far as I know) is you can buy an annual sub, whereas GP (inc GPU, which I have) you can only buy a max of 3 months, though admittedly they do stack.
I went for PS+ extra. Not interested in retro gaming so Premium is out. I was going to do a 3 month sub, but after seeing that works out at £10.67 a month (saving hardly anything) vs a yearly sub which works out at £7 p/m, I went for the yearly sub. First game I’m downloading…Returnal 🙂
I let my PS+ sub lapse a few weeks ago, and will re-subscribe tomorrow. I’m not into retro gaming (despite being old enough to have played the games first time round 😂) so will sub to PS+ extra. Will probably go for a quarterly sub and see how it goes. Looking forward to playing Returnal, Stray, and hoping for some other titles like Disco Elysium final cut.
I literally started playing this about a week or so ago, having already played the original version before. I’m certainly not stopping my play through cos of the PS5 version.
Ghost of Tsushima DC - I finished act 1 and am now on Ike island for the first time. Also playing Ghostwire Tokyo and Persona 5 Royal. I went go-karting today (IRL) so that’s got me in the mood for some karting action in GT7!
So just like George Lucas later rebranded “Star Wars” to “Star Wars - A New Hope”, this game is now going to be called “TLOU - Part 1”, instead of just “TLOU” 🙄
I’m knee deep in Japanese culture atm - I’m on my second play through of Ghost of Tsushima. Almost finished act 1, so I can then go to Iki island for the first time. The instantaneous loading on PS5 is incredible! Also playing Ghostwire Tokyo, which I only started last night.
Away from my PS5 (and Japan!) on my XSX I’m playing Sniper elite 5 and Ruined King.

Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Open World Is Way Denser Than You Ever Imagined
Hang on…this is still coming out on time? 😉
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games for August 2022 Announced
Starting to regret subbing for a whole year now, should have gone for the 3 month option.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Delay Could Mean a 2023 Release Date on PS5, Later on PS4
How long till we get the headline “Game (insert title here) to actually release on time in 2022”!

Really looking forward to this, though every time I see the game’s title in a headline I dread the words “delayed until…” 😬
Re: Huge PS Store Summer Sale Refreshed with Hundreds More PS5, PS4 Discounts
I don’t suppose there’s a way of telling the new additions only, or do we have to trawl through the whole lot again?

This game would be the perfect fit for PS+ extra or GamePass.

“Story update”…2 words you won’t see associated with Red Dead Online 😟

Would love to see some PS5 gameplay! I’ve been dying to play TW3 again but am holding off until the upgrade drops.

Watkins Glen? Nice.
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Update Adds Three Cars to PS5, PS4 Sim Next Week
Since finishing the cafe menus I don’t play it as much, just occasionally usually to do some kart races!
Re: Evil West Gameplay Looks Like God of War with Guns
The guns sound punchy - me likey likey. Hope it’s better than the disappointing Shadow Warrior 3. Looks great from this video, so fingers crossed 🤞
Re: Housemarque to Incorporate Unused Ideas for Returnal into its Next Game

Re: Video: In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake
Release it day 1 on PS+ extra/premium and I think a lot of the haters will stop hating.

Re: Sony Leaks The Last of Us: Part I for PS5, Launching 2nd September
Overpriced. Sony would do well in the PR dept to release this straight onto PS+ extra/premium.
Re: First Impressions: Stray Is Shaping Up to Be a Supurrbly Detailed PS5, PS4 Adventure
Been looking forward to this for quite a while, even better that it’s also going to be on PS+ extra on day 1.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 429
I’m knee deep in Japanese culture atm - I’m on my second play through of Ghost of Tsushima. Almost finished act 1, so I can then go to Iki island for the first time. The instantaneous loading on PS5 is incredible! Also playing Ghostwire Tokyo, which I only started last night.
Away from my PS5 (and Japan!) on my XSX I’m playing Sniper elite 5 and Ruined King.
