@Pat_trick - Historical hairstyle accuracy, really?

I'm pretty sure there weren't any scorpion tailed winged beasts, 100ft long snakes or walls with gigantic swinging blades in Persia either but surely Ubi's history department got that right, right?

NieR Replicant and some seasonal stuff in Destiny 2 on PS5 and over on XSX I'm playing Planet of Lana. Have a good weekend all!

@LiamCroft

So, as I was saying.

Besides the Sony owned heavy hitter the vast majority of these additions either reviewed poorly on this site with a 3/10 game in there and a fair few 5 and 6/10. Are being re-added having already been PSNow titles, or sell for pennies in every other PSN sale.

@Shokwave2 - I contacted the devs about the performance and was told no update was in the works. That was about a year ago so I wouldn't hold your breath.

@Toilet_Goat - Yeah the atmosphere is incredible, I stuck with it and got all the achievements on XSX and it was a love/hate experience, superb world but a real shame it's such a technical mess.

@Toilet_Goat - Sable is just as bad on PS5 as it is on Series X, plenty of stuttering and abysmal framerate drops. Avoid.

Having a PS3 session with Deadpool and a bit of Blur. Over on XSX I'm playing Ravenlok. Have a good weekend all!

After putting in 1500 hours on PS4 and almost a 3 year hiatus, I'm back on Destiny 2 on PS5 and have to say it's as unfathomable as ever but still feels amazing to play. Here's to the next 1500 hours Have a good weekend all!

@pharos_haven - Just give it a shot. All the Ys games are self contained. No need to worry about any lack of continuity.

@Mauzuri - You should check out Tokyo Xanadu eX+ from Falcom. Definitely worth a look if you like their other games.

@Axelay71 - 'Basically an idiot who isn't a gamer and doesn't have a clue. Obviously hasn't ever understood the industry.'

Yeah, the kind of idiot who was a key member of the teams that delivered the PS1 and PS2 to the world, who also managed the devs behind franchises like Killzone, Crash, Sly and Motorstorm. Obviously clueless.

Amazing that all the so called Sony fans here forget that this guy was instrumental in bringing the PS1 and 2 to market and helped manage studios like Guerrilla, Evolution, Naughty Dog etc in their early years. Sure his track record since leaving isn't exactly stellar but the Sony of today wouldn't be what it is without Phil Harrison.

@SplooshDmg - Nice, I had R3 Amenoma on her for ages until I got Mistsplitter recently but I still use it on her when I give Mistsplitter to Alhaitham or Keqing. Really solid weapon. It looks amazing on her too.

@SplooshDmg - You can't go wrong with Xingqiu and Rosaria, Barbara is fine for heals but her hydro application isn't the greatest, still it all helps. Great thing about Ayaka is she's really easy to put together. No need to go over 40% on crit rate with the Strayer set and the Amenoma is great if you don't have a 5* weapon for her. She's a blast to play. Have fun!

@themightyant - Oof, that's a kick in the stones. I'm only up to C2 Qiqi and oddly enough they all came from 50/50 losses. I got 4 Diluc's from standard making him C4 (one from 50/50 loss), then Jean broke my Diluc streak and I got a Keqing dupe last time I pulled a character on standard. Good luck on that C6 though, or not lol.

@SplooshDmg - Go freeze Ayaka, you often can't melt all her hits and its a lot more DPS efficient hitting frozen targets. Melt is great against large stuff that isn't moving much but if enemies are kiting around the place you can miss out on a lot of burst DPS.

The Artful Escape, a bit of Genshin and some Ghostwire Tokyo. Have a good weekend all!

@themightyant - I have mad luck on the weapon banners, I never touched them until Yelan released. I couldn't lose on that one, set the path for Aqua and got Lost Prayer and Jade Spear which I wanted for my Xiao, those 2 gave me the points needed for guaranteed Aqua. All in 40 pulls! I've since got Nahida's catalyst, Yoimiya's bow and Mistsplitter Reforged for Ayaka without a loss. I know it won't hold forever though lol.

Even have decent luck on the standard, I've got a R3 Wolf's Gravestone on Diluc and got the Amos' for my Ganyu recently. Good mention on Raiden, I don't have her, think I'll keep my guarantee for her next banner, cheers!

@themightyant - I'm glad I jumped in day one, with all those free fates we got in the first few weeks I got a free Keqing and Venti on top of a load of 4* like Bennett. Speaking of characters I've had a run of crazy luck on my US account. In 115 pulls I've got Cyno, Mona, Xiao and I just got Ayaka who I can't use because Inazuma is still locked lol.

As for Honkai I'm not touching it. I play Genshin and Division 2 daily, not starting another service or gacha game ever! Btw those codes last for 16 hours.

@get2sammyb - Right, still plenty to do then. I'm at a similar point on my US account. At least you can actually go to Sumeru and start unlocking the map waypoints. Not like Inazuma where you're progress blocked.

Nahida rerun! Already have her and her weapon but I'm on a guarantee so might have to go for her C2.

@get2sammyb - No rush, you'll get there and if need be you can quick start most regional events nowadays. How far in are you now?

Ghostwire Tokyo, I'm about a dozen hours in and really liking it so far. Also some Genshin Impact, the gacha gods were on my side and I got Mistsplitter Reforged for Ayaka and Keqing to share so I'll be testing that out. Have a good weekend all!

@themightyant - From launch day I played nothing else for 8 months straight and ended up hating it so it had to go. Came back after all of Inazuma was available and the Chasm dropped and been on it since but I make a conscious effort to limit my time with it.

@themightyant - Heh, I put about 550 into the PS4 version and I'm another 700+ into it on PS5. I go through phases when I have to delete it for a few months but I've played almost daily since Sumeru dropped.

Nope! With 1200+ hours and counting put into Genshin there's zero chance I'm going near this. Really don't need or want another gacha game in my life.

@Postie85 - Sony could reboot Black how? It was made by Criterion who are owned by EA.

Ni No Kuni 2, I've needed one trophy to earn the platinum for years now so its about time I did it, after that I'll make a start on the DLC. Have a good weekend all!

Plague Tale Requiem and Oninaki. Have a good weekend all!

@Bricktop33 - The original version of Silent Hill 2 wasn't exclusive at all. It released on Xbox 3 months after PS2 in NA and 13 months after in EU.

Really looking forward to this as Ubi are bringing back the Ninjabike Messenger backpack in this season. By far the best exotic gear piece from Division 1.

@Stevemalkpus - You're welcome. I found out purely by accident when I saw the Xbox X|S version on sale so I checked my PS5 library and discovered the free upgrade. Enjoy your revisit!

Oninaki, I'm about a dozen hours in and absolutely hooked. Definitely the highlight of the plus refresh for me. Have the PS5 version of Gris lined up for tomorrow, had no idea this was even out for PS5 until the other day and was a free upgrade, happy days. Have a good weekend all!

Playing via GP. Put around 8hrs into it and thoroughly enjoyed what I've played so far.

@ErrantRob - Yeah the combat in Thymesia is excellent. Great little game!

Looking forward to the 3 RPG Factory games, especially Oninaki.

Deathloop, a bit more Thymesia and some Division 2. Any lapsed Div2 players out there make sure to sign into your account before Feb 27th.

There's a compensation cache in your inbox with tens of thousands of crafting materials in it including 55 exotic components. Don't miss out on it. Have a good weekend all!

Yeah and albums on Spotify don't sell at retail. It's a statement to the CMA, of course they'll paint a terrible picture.

Bit of collectible hunting in Anno Mutationem to pop the platinum then carrying on my Thymesia playthrough. Really surprised at how good the combat is in this game, would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent Soulsborne game. Have a good weekend all!

The problem isn't the delayed season, the last maintenance completely broke the game. It's been pretty much unplayable since Tuesday. Opening the map crashes the game, moving the map cursor crashes the game, can't change global settings or directives, can't travel back to DC from NY, players losing all the gear in their stash. It's an absolute mess.

Really wish Capcom would revive Remember Me and give these guys a shot at a sequel. That game was brilliant.

Grabbed Thymesia for some Soulsborne action. Really good so far and does enough different to stand on its own in the combat department. Cool little game.

@danlk1ng - I realise that it's part of the higher tiers but it's appeared in the free monthly games for the essential tier.

Anyone else in EU/UK seeing Indivisible as an extra plus game? I know it's a replacement for Mafia in some regions but it's showing on PS5 for me though not on PS4. Bit odd.

Anno Mutationem on PS5 and Hi-Fi Rush on XSX. Have a good weekend all!

Nothing for PS stuff but I did get a £98 discount on Xbox for the complete edition of AC Valhalla yesterday. One hit one miss I guess.

Hi-fi Rush and something from my backlog, either Prey or FF15. Have a good weekend all!

The Walking Dead final season, just about to start episode 4. After that I'll feed my Vampire Survivors addiction for a run or two then I'll be making a start on Plague Tale Requiem. Have a good weekend all!

@trev666 - Besides the billion mtx hats and flags, OG Factions was heavily p2w. They straight up sold OP guns that out performed every base gun in the game. Buy or die!

Did it get a balance pass yet? I beat master on PS4 and it was zero fun and outright unfair. I'd love to play it on PS5 now I have one but if it's not been toned down a touch I'll skip it. Not putting myself through that nonsense again.

@Mythologue - I said £5 at the bare minimum. Monthly set and daily/monthly play GP quests alone will net you 3500+, add in the daily sets and it will be about £5. That's without even doing mobile searches, achievement per day or playing the monthly game quests.

@Bentleyma - It's level based. The game is structured exactly like DMC with fixed camera sections, locked in combat rooms and a secret mission in each level. You get ranked at the end of the level and can replay them at a different difficulty once completed.

Cyberpunk 2077. Got the PS5 plat a few months back so I'm doing it all again with the PS4 version. Only a few hours in but have to say this last gen version plays great and holds up pretty well on the PS5.

Over on XSX I'm playing Soulstice which is an unashamed DMC clone that plays like DMC3. Combat isn't as tight but it's solid enough for a budget title. Definitely worth a look if you like the older DMC games. Have a good weekend all!
