Bannerlord is awesome. Hope more people check it out on PS5. Should come with an addiction warning though. 😂

@KAIRU eh?

Your game of which generation? 😁

I bought Horizon physically so I can sell it on. Elden Ring was a digital preorder, only the second I've ever made. Horizon is good, but it's a championship team to Fromsoft's Premier league.

That don't work for me, brother.

Just keep it away from whoever made that terrible Lord of the Rings fan fiction. Get David Joffe or Corey Barlog involved to avoid the dispassionate fan fiction route.

I like Druckmann and his commitment (in part 2 at least) to narrative decisions that repulse and enrage some players. That's an artist. One of the few working in the AAA space. Multiple times in part 2 I hesitated because I didn't want what was going to happen to happen. It's a different emotion to the usual "***** yeah I'm a bad ass" empowerment feeling that most action games offer.

Awesome news. Can't wait to see where they take it.

@ShogunRok Hearts of Stone is still a 10 IMO. Such a great story.

Traversal was kinda boring. Just hold circle and off she goes, maybe it gets more skillful as it expands. Combat was cool, particularly the machine gun type spell. Too much needless profanity though, a lot of "f" and "s" seemed out of place.

So I can't punch the animals right? Pass.

Days Gone was a solid 7/10 game that got solid 7/10's.

Also, no one listens to woke critics. See the respective success and failure of Top Gun Maverick and Amazon's LOTR: Rings of Power.

Life is Strange with angsty alphabet dinosaurs..... sure, why not?

This game is like a sandwich that is only bread

Surprised that crazy Argos deal didn't put Horizon back up there.

I grabbed Resident Evil 3 for £8. Played through it in one sitting and for that price I was very happy with it.

@Marquez FML? Over that? 😂

Not finished yet but so far it just gets better and better. Wasn't too enamoured for the first half, now I don't want it to end.

I've seen other sites translate that comment as they will learn lessons for a sequel. Though patches seem to be needed as the reviews really have ran the gamut from great to terrible.

Get Ghostwire - Tokyo on there please ☺

Batman the Animated Series is an all time great and Mr Conroy was a massive part of what made it so good. That show was a big part of my childhood and I remember trying to impersonate his Batman voice on the way to school. Thank you and RIP Kevin. Best wishes to his friends and family.

Do you think the Max Payne remasters will tie it in somehow 🤔

@IndoorEnthusiast definition of a 'get it on sale' game

Better be some cyber ass lazer umbrellas!

@dschons same here. Firs time I played I bounced off it hard and was actually annoyed that I'd bought it. It went on to become the only game I've ever got the platinum trophy for on purpose.

If you're already commited to £450, then an extra £30 isnt likely to be that much of a deal breaker to be honest. Wasnt for me anyway.

Fishing with Big the Cat? Oh Lord. Having Dreamcast ptsd flashbacks to 1999.

The immaculately polished bit was sarcasm right? 😁 Regardless, I always look forward to some Frogwares Holmes.

Hope they make the customisation mean something to gameplay this time. For example sabre handles giving attack bonuses, or them gross ponchos affecting health or force juice.

Yes please. She should travel back in time and assassinate Joel before he ruined so many lives.

What!? I always thought these "gone gold" articles related to a certain number of preorder sales. Huh. Also, this game looks awesome.

My shout for underrated local co-op would be Moving Out. You empty houses into a van. And it's great, kinda weird, and simple enough for my none-gamer gf to pick up and play.

Definitely interested but waiting on reviews first. Love the idea of an open world Gotham (actually populated for once) and hoping for a quality narrative to go with it.

@LN78 Ghosts of Mars is Carpenter's most under appreciated IMO. It's no masterpiece, but it is a big dose of B-movie fun.

@sorteddan @RaZieLDaNtE @freddquadros thanks for the Astro's recommendations. It's a lot of fun!

Well, my new PS5 just arrived, so the question is... what should I play? Demon's Souls on PS Plus x is looking quite tempting.

As long as it has enough time in the oven, yes please. Bit early for speculation but . . . I wonder if it will be set in Night City but in a different time period. Sorta like a mega-sized version of what the RGG games do with Kamurocho. If so, that would reduce development time compared to the first.

I think they can go straight reboot for this one. It would make for a great modern action rpg series. Getting through those 20 year old games again isn't something most people would be willing to do. I sure wouldn't. Give me a fresh entry point.

Interesting premise. Trailer looks naff and awkward though. Speaking of which, any news on Showa American Story? 😁

It does make sense and draws a line under the Kiryu era when most of the games were very much about the Yakuza clans. I see Yakuza 8 being titled Like A Dragon 2 in the west.

@Shepherd_Tallon I initially thought Rise of the Ronin might be a new Way of the Samurai when the trailer started up during the showcase.

Ishin. The trailer was such a surprise and I've been craving more Yakuza.

Yakuza Ishin being fully remade as opposed to a hd remaster was unexpected. Roll on February!

Kratos wants to "prevent" all out war? No mate. Get the war on.

Hardspace "hhhuuurrugh" Shipbreaker

@LiamCroft thanks for the correction. ☺. Still, I think maybe for ps plus to be a competitive service it needs to be able to match things like this on multiplatform releases.

So.. day one on gamepass.... £70 on PS5?

Just started up Yakuza Zero. All of them are either good or great, but Zero is the masterpiece of the series. Grateful for the opportunity to replay it.

@GREGORIAN He came to AEW about a year ago. Had some amazing matches, eventually won the world championship, then got injured diving into the crowd. He should be back next month for the PPV though. ☺
