I can't understand why they have gone from having Destiny 1 in it's final form, which was far better than it was when launched, and effectively reverted all the great changes in Destiny 2. It's like they want to follow the same pattern that Destiny 1 went through to make them seem like heroes for improving their game systems and make it look like they are listening to fans, when actually they had it all planned out in the first place.
Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved Destiny 1 and played it to death but Destiny 2 just doesn't have the same appeal and feels like a step backwards.
The best is yet to come for PS4, The Last of Us 2, Spiderman, Death Stranding, God of War, Days Gone, The Inpatient, Monster Hunter World, Shadow of the Colossus, Yakuza 6, Ni no kuni 2, A Way Out, Far Cry 5, Dreams, Medievil, Detroit Become Human, Concrete Genie, Blood and Truth, Ghost of Tsushima, Shenmue 3, the list is never ending.
I'm for sure going to be checking out Stranger Things and The Last Guardian in VR. I'll also be picking up Gang Beasts to play with the family at Christmas.
I've been giving this a go recently, I'm not too far into it but really enjoying it. It definitely has issues with bugs and the camera in certain areas but I don't find it as bad as Yooka-Laylee in terms of framerate
@get2sammyb @Star-Lord I looked for the Stranger Things VR experience but couldn't find it anywhere. PS Access did a video with the cast to celebrate its release but I've not seen it, maybe it's been delayed?
@AhabSpampurse Yeah I did find it an issue as mentioned in the review above. The movement speed is increased as you progress through the game though but it would have been better to have that option from the start.
This is the sort of sale I was waiting for, lots of great digital titles discounted quite generously. There's definitely some bargains in there, I'm sure i'll pick something up a bit later today.
@sketchturner Unfortunately I don't create the terminology used for game genres but I can explain the term "roguelike".
A roguelike is a subgenre of role-playing game that contains procedurally/randomly generated environments, usually dungeons. Often permanent death is included meaning with each death you have to start from the beginning again.
A warning wouldn't have gone a miss, I was sat in the office trying to watch it and that woman being hanged certainly turned a few heads in my direction...guess I won't be watching PSX in the office
@get2sammyb I've noticed that there's also a Closed Beta for the Smite card game Hands of the Gods released for PS Plus subscribers on the store today as well, it seems to be well hidden though.

Re: Fe Brings Its Beautiful World to PS4 in February
I have to say this game definitely has me intrigued, i watched the short gameplay demo on it from PSX and it's one I certainly want to try.

Re: A Justice League VR Experience Is Hitting PSVR Next Week
@get2sammyb it's all about Aquaman if you ask me, he could turn anyone XD

@AhabSpampurse Yeah I did find it an issue as mentioned in the review above. The movement speed is increased as you progress through the game though but it would have been better to have that option from the start.
Re: Review: Forma.8 (PS4)
@themcnoisy it's probably one of my favourite indies this year tbh

@get2sammyb Nier Automata is only £24.99 at Zavvi. I haven't seen it at a better price anywhere else.
Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Black Friday 2017 Deals UK
@get2sammyb Not sure if it's been mentioned but Zavvi have a lot of gaming deals on.
Re: Review: Cat Quest (PS4)
@crazykcarter I can't see why not so long as your internet is reasonable.
Re: Review: Cat Quest (PS4)
@ShogunRok I would say 6-8 hours to do everything, I managed to get the platinum too so it's not massive in length but it's very reasonable.
Re: Review: Cat Quest (PS4)
@ShogunRok you should get your claws into this one
Re: Review: Cat Quest (PS4)
@Throb Yes I'd say it's purrfect for children
Re: Review: Cat Quest (PS4)

Re: Hardware Review: PSVR Review - Should You Buy PlayStation VR?
@get2sammyb Any chance of a full list of all VR games reviewed on the site being added to this article as just the launch titles isn't much to go by.
Re: Hands On: The Inpatient Shares Until Dawn's Penchant for Jump Scares
@get2sammyb Ha ha, I can't wait to give this game a go. Horror works so well on VR, probably the best genre to play on VR too.

@Lovespuds yeah I have played Flinthook and it is amazing. I've not tried Galak-Z though, may give it a look

Re: Feature: 8 Essential PS4 Roguelikes to Crawl Through this Hallowe'en
@Kidfried The Binding of Isaac is my personal favorite with Enter the Gungeon a close second. You?
Re: Feature: 8 Essential PS4 Roguelikes to Crawl Through this Hallowe'en
@Speedy-R Interesting, I'll check it out.
@RedMageLanakyn Nuclear Throne is certainly a toughy.
@Kidfried Thanks, Enter the Gungeon is one of my most played on this list, definitely worth a play. I think it was on sale not too long ago as well.
@Wosty Can't say I've heard much about Cryptark, I may have to take a look at it.

Re: Feature: 8 Essential PS4 Roguelikes to Crawl Through this Hallowe'en
@RedMageLanakyn That's the best thing about these games; they entice you to play just one more time and several hours later you are still going XD

@get2sammyb Yeah, I just happened to be mid-ultimate with Hanzo when the terms and conditions rudely interrupted
Re: No, PSN Isn't Down, You May Need to Accept Terms and Conditions Manually
