I've had one where I was allowed into an inaccessible area in the final mission and got stuck in a return to playable area loop.

I'd give it an 8, the stealth-focused gameplay and investigations are really fun, it's just a pity that the overall story doesn't do much with Basim.

On the one hand, that's not great but if the base is the same, it should support itself vertically without the stand, my PS5 is.

Why would you have a settings menu that doesn't pause cutscenes?

Huh? It doesn't run all that well on PS5 in the first place.

@Arasumian Not necessarily, it all depends on the contract. Equity (the British actors union) is trying to support SAG as much as possible. Regarding your last example that is.

I guess I was lucky, I didn't encounter the issue. It's unfortunate that it happens though.

I'm going for Deluxe as the statue doesn't really appeal to me.

I'd have thought a VR Transformers game would have you be a Transformer...

@Stevemalkpus Yeah. The War in Ukraine meant they had to put a more ambitious project on the backburner and instead chose to remake the Awakened. Frogwares started development in April of 2022, it's impressive that it's already released.

I'll wait for the demo before deciding on whether to get this game. It sounds good but I need to play it first. This will be my first Final Fantasy Game, unless I get the Remake of Final Fantasy 7.

I'll definitely get the demo as I still need some convincing on whether or not to buy the game.

@kungfumongoose Judging by the pre-order stuff not being ponchos, I'd say we can wear non-poncho stuff as well. (We could already customise the suit in Fallen Order but only slightly)

I wear hearing aids, so I wonder how speakers work and how tight it is around the ears.

I've bought Evil Genius 2 and Sifu today. Both for a rainy day when I need some fun. Right now, Hogwarts Legacy occupies my time.

For me, it would depend on the game. Basically, whether that game was any good. Even if I found it good, I can only really play one game at a time so it needs to be really good to retain my attention for a prolonged period of time.

If this is anywhere near as creative as What the Golf, this game is going to be a lot of fun.

Early game, I used the axe. Once I got the spear, it became my default weapon.

@Hindenburg What types of games do you believe that are utterly unenjoyable? I like a good platformer, I'll always keep an eye out for a Lego game.

I am very much looking forward to this. It's definitely going to be played on the 7th. I just have to make space for Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened somewhere in February.

I've not played many 2022 PS5 games this year but I've played enough other ones on other platforms or in previous years to scrape 5 favourites up.

431 hours played. Since I got my PS5 nearly halfway through the year, I expect that number to double next year.
Most played: Horizon Zero Dawn at 64 hours, with Ragnarok just behind with 60. 19 games played in total this year. I definitely bought a lot more but that's a problem for next year.

I'll be finishing Ragnarok this weekend. After that I think I'll be starting the Ezio Collection.

@Hindenburg Because Ragnarok isn't out on PC.

@ShogunRok Are collectibles easier to find this time around?

Personally, I'll wait for a price drop regardless. But I need to experience how it works first before I buy it.

@Splat I know the feeling. So far the only game that's captured me is Outer Wilds because I didn't finish it last time I played.

I'll be playing Origins for the first time soon... After Ragnarok and the Ezio Collection.

It would be nice if campaigns were available outside of phones...

@TheArt The reason that the changing maze of Niflheim works so well is that it doesn't change. All that changes are the traps, chests and enemy spawns. The actual structure of the maze remains the same.

That's very handy. I've been playing this game on and off and each time stopped after a couple of hours mainly due to being overwhelmed and not having a very good idea of how to expand.

I still need to beat Sigrun before Ragnarok.

It makes sense, it ensures everyone can tell their own standalone stories without having to worry about other games messing up the story. I feel like some games will try to reference other ones, especially if they're made by the same studio. Wolverine referencing Spider-Man and if EA made another game, it would probably reference Iron Man.

There's no need for them all to share a universe. My main criticism of the MCU is that it's not standalone enough, everything has to be connected. Moon Knight is my favourite thing to come out of the MCU due to it being standalone and accessible for once.

Surely this should have been announced at that Marvel games presentation.

Are there any stories that are only possible within Battlefield? As far as I know it's just another war-filled world.

@BoldAndBrash They exist elsewhere. Sherlock Holmes Chapter One was really fun to me. God of War is also fun.

I'm playing God of War. I've just gotten to Muspellheim. I'll eventually get back on track and listen to the head.

@Beerheadgamer82 The usual difficulty settings are still there, this is just a custom one so you can tweak everything to your liking. You could make an ultra-hard difficulty just as easily as an ultra-easy one. There's nothing wrong with toning the game down a little.

@Gloamin There won't be a physical version which drastically lowers the possibility of a collector's edition. The closest you can really get is the €50 tier which comes with an artbook, soundtrack, a dlc sidequest and the game itself. Or any sort of deluxe edition when it comes out.

I'm unsure of whether I'll get the Collector's Edition but I'll wait and see what it looks like, probably either the deluxe or standard depending on what the cosmetics look like.

I'm definitely going to get it at some point. Maybe a few days after launch or something depending on if anything else interesting comes out.

Nacon. Didn't they steal The Sinking City from Frogwares? They uploaded it on Steam from a cracked version.

@Lup I am, it certainly looks interesting and I'm very much not a cat person.

@jmac1686 I do. I'd be getting more multiplayer games if they had local multiplayer.

I think it's good thing that there are difficulty options. It allows those who want a little less challenge, which isn't a bad thing, to play this. It also allow those who want more challenge to replay it.

@Perturbator Luckily, I don't think they'll be doing that. That temple didn't make much sense, how could Holmes deduce the entirety of it from a wooden model?

@Perturbator Luckily you'll be able to finetune and even disable the combat sequences, without losing any story.

A Doctor Strange game could work really well as an RPG: exploring the world to gather new magical artifacts to use and returning to the Sanctum Sanctorum to test them out or decorate the hub with artifacts either cosmetic or useful.
