@Gamer_Girl_ I thought it was a typo!

@nessisonett after watching people play it at 60fps and then booting it back up on my console, I'd pay at least 20 blood echoes for a frame bump alone!

@Kienda The Witcher had more than the games to work with.

@AFCC Maybe they could tie in E3 with SGDQ, each block of runs could link in with a developer or manufacturers presentation. Bringing the hype and raising money for charity at the same time.

Ended up with both PS4 & PS5 versions of DLC in the download queue, which was annoying as only the PS5 version is on the console.

@Quintumply Great review, tempted to purchase now. Does the co-op work between a PS5 & PS4, or do you need to be playing on same model of console?

I looked it up instead of being lazy -

"Friend’s Pass offers cross-gen but not cross-platform play. For example, Player 1 can be playing on PlayStation 5 and invite Player 2 on Playstation 4. But Player 1 playing on Playstation 5 cannot invite Player 2 on Xbox Series X or PC. The save system also works cross-gen."

@leucocyte yeah, same. Admitted defeat and acknowledged that that's one platinum I won't be getting. Shame, as i loved the game, one of my favourites of the PS4 generation and would have liked the 100% but couldn't get near the queen!

@Dobbos You have put the disc in the right way?

I think I've finished the game, no end credits but no quests left. Feels a bit of an anticlimactic way to draw the game to its conclusion.

@Morzy I got a Super Nintendo when it launched and got unlucky with a faulty console or perhaps it was the cartridge? Difficult to tell. Even back then there were faults, think it gets magnified by today's access to social media.

Now if they can stop the console installing the PS4 version from the disc when you already have the PS5 game installed and also stop the hourly spinning of the drive, that'd be great!

Astro Playroom really captured that joy factor that's usually reserved for Nintendo first party games. I think i enjoyed it more than Mario Odyssey and is the game I'd use to show off the PS5 to guests, if I'm ever allowed to have any.

Received this from Playstation Support -
"The option is only visible, to upgrade if using an account registered to the same region as the disc is from.
Can you confirm if your disc is from a different region from the region of your account?
You can locate the disc code on the disc itself or the spine of the case."

Says Region 2 on my case & disc. ( I initially thought they meant the item code, numpty)

I might start a new playthrough of Fallout 4 as Johnny Rootbear. Will i need to pay any fees?

@StonyKL the glitching trees might be a type of world event, where you the simulation breaks and you collect files as present day character. There are a few of these I've found so far.

Now they just need to get the upgrade from PS4 to PS5 working.

I'm surprised there isn't a way to prevent even physical editions being played early, seeing as everything has to be installed nowadays.

I suppose if you didn't connect to the internet you could get round this.

@PossibLeigh Great minds think alike, must've been writing it at same time. I've tried reinstalling today, but no change. Apparently logging in to Turkish store front gives you the option. But you've probably already seen that.
Disc drive keeps revving up every half hour or so, which is a bit annoying but positives outweigh the issues I've encountered so far.

Haven't been able to upgrade the PS4 version of AC Valhalla to PS5. Have installed from the PS4 disc and no option to upgrade appears. There are a few comments on Ubi forums so hopefully it'll be sorted soon.
The version upgrade path seems poorly thought out & implemented if you ask me.

@Juanalf Aren't Ninja Theory a UK based company? I thought they were just down the road from me in Cambridge.

@Turniplord How did you manage to get the game so early and did you manage to get any sleep in between playing it for 5 and a half days 😁

@SirAngry in my personal experience they are which is where i was coming from.

@theheadofabroom but mental health and cognitive skills are often linked?

It would appear the quality of the Blog has dropped to that of previous EU version, which was always the poor cousin of the US blog entries. Listing all sales titles, without pricing info had always been the case and has put me off spending money in the past.

@Scollurio I was just being silly 😁

My copy arrived this morning, without the guitar picks. Instant 0/10.

More Nier would be the best birthday present i could ask for.

Has anyone heard the rumour that drinking Corona beer makes you repeat the same comment numerous times?

@Futureshark It's the gif that keeps on giving!

@FullbringIchigo Assume = ass u & me

Naughty Dog may well have been pushing the envelope in terms of presentation, characters, and storytelling but I've always found the gameplay lacking, so hopefully they've improved that area too.

@Eldritch Thanks for clearing that up, i must of misread something about it, or got the EU investigation mixed in with the tax relief.

@AdamNovice The Video Game Tax Relief program was recently extended into 2023, although I'm not sure if UK based companies are still eligible due to leaving the EU? Rockstar might have to pay some of their own game development costs now!

From the way EA's merry band of "influencers" present at E3, their minds are already well and truly blown.

@nookie_egg Yeah, i tried the demo on my Pro and it went supersonic. Put me off buying the full game as i didn't think it was a good idea to put the console through such over exertions for longer periods of time.

It won't have micros but will be full of nano.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Just doing my good deed for the day, hope you enjoy it.

Not interested in the rounders game, perhaps it makes sense for some parts of the world but can't see it being viewed favourably for majority of Plus subscribers. I'd have preferred the uncharted trilogy to last out us, which i didn't enjoy either time I bought it.

Enjoyed my time with the game, but looking back it's possibly one of the weakest PS4 exclusives that I've played, saved only by the web swinging. Instantly forgettable story, repetitive missions and gameplay. I hope they play it less safe for the sequel. At least it was an easy platinum!

Yay, another 14gb download.

@Th3solution Hope you're enjoying a bit of Borderlands. I've downloaded and installed both the Ultra HD pack and new DLC for Borderlands Handsome collection but in game menus tell me neither are installed. Did you encounter this problem?

Barring one review, the scores are pretty similar and I'm willing to give it a whirl if the story provides an insight into topics close to my head.

@AdamNovice If Plus wasn't mandatory for online play, i don't think subscription numbers would continue to increase.

I'm hoping a Commodore 64 Mini is announced, complete with tiny tapes and a disc drive smaller than a shoe box.

The sound dropping out has definitely soured my first few hours and surprised it wasn't noticed prior to release. Not being able to hear what may be approaching is quite a major issue in this game, and having to quit out numerous times has put me off playing more till it's properly fixed.

I predict Bungie to split with Activision and acquire rights of Destiny.

Tu Cara Me Suena El Videojuego looks Scorchio, going by the YouTube video...

I haven't really enjoyed what I've played so far. Appreciate the world they've built, it's design and graphics / sound are second to none but the gameplay is lacking for me. God of War still my favourite for the year.

Hope they fix it so Roxana will spar with you, rather than uttering 'leave me champion'. Breaks that particular quest, which is annoying.
