Enjoyed my time with the base game. Platinumed it in one sitting. Although, I'm not sure I'd be willing to jump back in. Had to tap the R2 button so much I got worried it was going to fall off.
I love Hitman, as a few people here know, and I simply cannot wait for 3. But the Deluxe Edition really isn't worth the price of admission. Went for the standard. The escalations will be more widely available down the line, I'm sure.
The people defending this are REALLY defending this aren't they. My goodness. Ironic when someone comments the sentiment "I don't care, let people do what they want" etc, and it's in the form of an essay lol.
Everyone who's against this are just like, "bad ubisoft, naughty".
Maybe instead of needing to charge players to "advance their progression", and "allow players who lack the time to fully explore the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla to be able to acquire the game’s best gear", you could make a game that doesn't need that? You know, like how Assassin's used to be.
@Max2574 I love Days Gone, first time playing it when I got it off the PS+ Collection, but I do remember when it first came out everyone was complaining about bugs.
Yes. I agree. Reminds me of the old days of GameTrailers. That's how they used to review.
@Max2574 Liam is quite capable of articulating this point without me jumping in, but influencing and bribing are two very different things. Youtube is a strange entity when it comes to reviews from creators. I've gone down many rabbit holes of watching youtube "gamers" and in my opinion, not many of them can actually play a game to save their lives, so their reviews means nothing. And I'm sure the ones who can play are honest. A lot of them add #ad #sponsored etc. As for publications, don't buy in to conspiracy theories. It's naive to think that kind of practice happens. I'm sure that IGN get so much free crap that a lot of it remains unopened in the mail room.
Also... what makes you think PushSquare are honest, and aren't doing under the table deals?
@thefourfoldroot I'm sure you meant to say "people who are Japanese" rather than "people who speak Japanese"! If you've learnt to speak Japanese or another language, you should never cringe at someone learning/beginning as you would have sounded like a fool when you first started. (Native speakers shouldn't cringe either to be fair).
@kiki3400 I can certainly imagine that. I guess I've been lucky enough to have roles in firms where the attitude is "as long as you're professional when you should be and get all your tasks done". Even when I used to work in retail years ago I could use my phone lol. I've worked in Waterstones the bookstore, and we actually had to use our phones to search for information we didn't know when customers had enquiries!
@kiki3400 Every job I've ever had I've been able to use my phone, especially now that I can work from home lol. But fair enough, perhaps it's less common than I thought.
@ztpayne7 I've found it for under £20, so I can stomach that. Like I said I'd rather play the superior version as I don't have the time nor inclination to play multiple.
@mariomaster96 Yes lol. Apart from that. I can't play every game in my backlog. And if Royal is superior, I don't mind paying for it as it's quite cheap now. I'm not playing both versions.
While on the topic of Persona - I've heard that 5 Royal makes the base Persona 5 irrelevant. It's on the PS+ Collection, but is there any point in me playing it over Royal?
@Iroha They're only giving away 2 of each edition...
Also, in most regular jobs you can just hop on your phone during the day (obviously there's roles like emergency services and jobs where you have to leave your phone in a locker. Unfair for those folks).
Already pre ordered this, and played it on PC. It's so good. I've enjoyed my time with it. If anything, Pokemon has become a bit stale. There's also a bit more to it gameplay wise, than Pokemon. The only thing I'd say is that while Pokemon now has a ridiculous number of monsters, TemTem doesn't have enough, but I'm sure that will change soon.
@TBubs311 Not to take anything away from your point, which I agree with - I just don't understand humans. Why can't it just be - "wear a mask and be considerate of your actions so that you can be compassionate to those around you" ... "Okay, sure". Why does it not just end there? Why do some people have to then delve into the finer points and bring up statistics and numbers and other nonsense just to avoid being a kind person?
I can hear the fan too, sitting 3 metres away. Both with game audio and a podcast playing. The fan I'm not too fussed about, but there's definitely a whirring/vibrating sound accompanying it.
I can hear mine sitting where I normally do, playing a game. I think I'll give it some time as Sony is probably a little busy right now lol, but I might give them a call to see if it's something they can fix.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. Would be cool to be able to play certain levels (if that's the direction they go in) as certain Bonds.
@God_of_Nowt The only reason I can think of why Game chose Yodel (as well as their usual DPD, Royal Mail partners) is that they were the cheapest. Probably were promised reliable delivery on the 19th and thought, fine, that's one less thing to worry about now. Maybe communication wasn't the best on Game's part after the fact and Yodel became a little overwhelmed with the numbers. Having said that, one extra day to wait isn't bad at all. It wasn't Yodel but Game, after all, who charged delivery and changed in on people's orders (I chose free delivery lol so I'm fine).
I used to work for Game, close to two decades ago when I needed a job while at college/uni. Back when they sold games, not phones, tablets and whatever else. Before they were part of SD, and games were sold and traded in at a reasonable price. Nice close knit team. How they have fallen.
@zupertramp Sadly I feel like your call will fall on deaf ears. I got frustrated at the situation but I would never ever take it out on another human being. It's literally no one's fault. No one has done this on purpose, especially the drivers, who I'm sure just want a smooth delivery.

Re: Yodel Trends on Twitter As GAME Warns UK PS5 Pre-Orders May Not Arrive on Time

Re: Yodel Trends on Twitter As GAME Warns UK PS5 Pre-Orders May Not Arrive on Time
@Paranoimia Haha. I do want to stress that if you get a driver who does that, that's more on them than who they work for.
As @God_of_Nowt pointed out, a lot are now contractors or self employed who probably deliver for Yodel AND DPD AND whoever else.
Re: Yodel Trends on Twitter As GAME Warns UK PS5 Pre-Orders May Not Arrive on Time
@God_of_Nowt The staff at Game were a great bunch, went for drinks, parties, birthdays. Nice grounded people.
I do like going into Forbidden Planet in London, near the Fopp (even Fopp have gone downhill a little in terms of stock and prices).
I'll be sure to tell my driver tomorrow not to take any nonsense from customers!
