Haven't played DOOM Eternal yet (although I do have it) as I've been holding out for the PS5 upgrades. DOOM 2016 is my favourite FPS on the PS4, so looking forward to it!
Kudos for stating your opinion @LiamCroft. I don't get the mentality that every review should adhere to the public consensus; meta scores are a load of bollocks. A review should give sound reasoning for its score, and if that score is against the grain, that's perfectly fine (or often even better as it provides a different opinion).
I recently played The Dark Descent and found it a complete and utter outdated dud, so by the sounds of this review I can give the new one a pass.
Looks a bit cluttered and I'm probably not going to use about 90% of it, but I'm sure it will work fine when you can try it out for yourself. I just hope you can remove things you don't use.
@nessisonett Ah of course, I always assume that this is a British website for some reason! Edit: I just checked and the launch games are actually releasing on the 12th here in the UK. Not sure what to make of that!
@BlueOcean I had to buy a new one in order to remove the screws in my ps4 as those were quite bespoke, but this one seems more of a conventional make luckily (that bloke's screwdriver though!).
I can't believe they've designed a console to which you must attach a separate stand. Not that cumbersome as you only need to do it once realistically, but still.
I've been playing a lot of Two Point Hospital since its release which was of course a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. This looks very much like a spiritual successor to Theme Park, so I might just pick this up as a second game next to Demon's Souls.
Just finished the Banner Saga again, currently playing Mario 64 and DOOM 64 (which is the much better port of the two and only cost me a staggering £1.99 to boot).
@Robinsad I've ordered loads of electronic stuff over the years from very and so far everything has been delivered very quickly with lots of updates, so hopefully this will go just as smoothly.
I've preordered mine at very.co.uk, which doesn't seem the go-to website for most gamers I suppose My confirmation says "Delivery by Thursday 19 November (Delivery date checked on 28/09/2020)", so should be good!
What I don't get is that it's not only a monstruous size, but it also features a very flashy design. Almost like a white Porsche Panamera. Ugh. Oh well, real beauty is what's inside and all that.

Re: Rumour: Sony Bans In-Store PS5 Sales in Norway Due to Coronavirus Concerns
If "the Japanese giant doesn't want to put customers at risk", why would they single out Norway? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Re: PS5, PS4 Architect Mark Cerny Is a Better Gamer Than You
Not bad! I recently finished Cuphead too but am taking a break before getting the last few trophies I'm still missing
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
@thedevilsjester Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. Hopefully they can be uninstalled. I could do the same on my Sony phone, so who knows.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
As long as all that clutter isn't preinstalled.

Re: DIRT 5 Finally Confirmed for PS5 Launch, Full DualSense Support
@NickTheGeek I might be mistaken, but I think HMDI 2.0 is capable of delivering 1440p at 120Hz.
Re: DIRT 5 Finally Confirmed for PS5 Launch, Full DualSense Support
I'll wait for Dirt Rally 3. In the meantime there's still loads to do in Dirt Rally 2.0 with 60 fps!

Re: Random: What if Apple Made PS5? Fan Trailer Finds Out
Easy, if Apple made the PlayStation 5 I'd buy an Xbox.

Re: Planet Coaster Takes a Ride to PS5 At Launch
Nice! I might just preorder this so I can switch between Demon's Souls' forlorn landscapes and this.
Re: Here Are All the Free New PSN Avatars to Choose From
Lovely, I just changed my avatar to one of the gentle giants from Shadow of the Colossus.
Re: PS5 Themes All But Confirmed via Dead by Daylight Listing
If possible I would probably never change the Firewatch theme that I've been using for several years now.
Re: FIFA 21 - A Step Up from FIFA 20, but Must Do Better on PS5
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: UK Sales Charts: FIFA 21 Physical Sales Suffer Unsurprising Decline
Again no GTA V. What's the world coming to?! It's mad I tell you! MAD!
Re: PS5 Accessories Release Dates Bumped Up in UK
I can stare for a week at my über expensive copy of Demon's Souls.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 345
Currently trying to finish games I've started before the ps5 arrives, so that means sessions of Shenmue 3, Titanfall 2, Doom 64, and MediEvil.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Goes Gold Ahead of PS5 Launch
So it's releasing on November 12, even though the console itself releases on November 19?
Re: Poll: What's Your New PlayStation Trophy Level?
@nessisonett Have you thrown 42 chicken legs around yet? Honestly, sometimes I ask myself why I'm doing the things that I'm doing..

Re: PS5 Stand Solution Is Seriously Nifty
@BlueOcean I had to buy a new one in order to remove the screws in my ps4 as those were quite bespoke, but this one seems more of a conventional make luckily (that bloke's screwdriver though!).
Re: PS5 Stand Solution Is Seriously Nifty
@BlueOcean Certainly not too far removed from the flat-pack concept!
Re: PS5 Stand Solution Is Seriously Nifty
@TheIdleCritic My point is that it's a bit odd to design a console that needs an external standard rather than just being able to stand on its own.
Re: PS5 Stand Solution Is Seriously Nifty
I can't believe they've designed a console to which you must attach a separate stand. Not that cumbersome as you only need to do it once realistically, but still.
Re: PS4 to PS5: All Games with Confirmed Free Upgrades
Control - Base PS4 - 30 fps
Yeah right!
I'm curious what the Doom Eternal upgrade will entail. Just bought the game, but wondering if I should wait a bit more.
Re: Planet Coaster: Console Edition Will Offer a Free PS5 Upgrade
I've been playing a lot of Two Point Hospital since its release which was of course a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. This looks very much like a spiritual successor to Theme Park, so I might just pick this up as a second game next to Demon's Souls.
Re: PS5's 3D Audio Will Almost Certainly Work with Your Existing Headphones
Never really thought about 3D audio but I might just give it a go with my brand-spanking new Bose headset.
Re: PS Now October 2020 Update Adds Days Gone, MediEvil, And Much More
Lovely, I wasn't convinced by the MediEvil demo but this means I can give it a go without extra spending.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Physical Crash 4 Sales Down 80% on N. Sane Trilogy

Re: PlayStation Studios: All Sony First-Party Developers and What They're Working On
I still lament the closure of Psygnosis/Sony Studio Liverpool..
Re: DIRT 5, Maneater Saves Won't Transfer from PS4 to PS5
Surely you'd better wait buying them until you've got your ps5? What a shambles.
Re: PS5 Game Returnal Looks Amazing in New Screenshot, Plus More Details
I've just finished a replay of Resogun which still holds up amazingly well today. Apart from the title itself, this looks like a winner too.
Re: PS Store Games of a Generation Sale Discounts Some of the Best PS4 Titles
Blasphemous is such a good deel for 8 quid. A really good and beautifully looking and sounding metroidvania. Highly recommended.
Re: Godfall's Cinematic Opening Is Way More Hype Than We Expected
I must be showing my age but I dont really get that heading. It's "way more hype"?
Re: Talking Point: Are You Worried About the Future of Western RPGs on PS5?
I'm not that bothered with Western rpgs. Missing out on Doom would be a much greater loss to me.

@R1spam Both thegamecollection and 365games sell it for £65.
Re: Gamers Will Happily Pay $70 for PS5 Games, Argues Analyst
Oh absolutely, I smiled happily when I preordered Demon's Souls this morning for only 65 BLOODY QUID.
Re: All PS5 First-Party Exclusives
Isn't the new Horizon also coming to ps4?
Re: That PS5 Placeholder Box Art Turned Out to Be the Real Thing
Almost as garish as the console itself. Ah well, again, it's what on the inside that counts.
Re: Official PS5 Page Mentions 'Faster and Smoother Frame Rates' for Select PS4 Games
Any news on loading times for ps4 games? I'm itching to be able to play Xcom 2!
Re: PS5 Size Put Into Perspective with Series of Scale Illustrations
@BlueOcean Ah I guess I'm only familiar with the more mundane IKEA stuff then.
Re: PS5 Size Put Into Perspective with Series of Scale Illustrations
@BlueOcean Why is that? I wouldn't really call IKEA stuff flashy, would you?
