Another farming simulator?
When did we get the last one?
I think I played for about 30 minutes and even though I knew I'd be able to hire workers to do it all for me, I still stopped playing.
Yawn fest..

@Darude84 you should give miles a chance. It's laughably short. Shouldn't take long at all. I banged out the PS4 version, then the ps5 free upgrade so fast so long ago, I just had to check that it really was a PS4 game as well.

Nah, I like my HDR too much.
Projectors just can't project deep blacks, for obvious reasons.

Yeah.. but that psn subscription price hike is the real news..

Sweet. Now I can play gitarooman with a good controller, and I won't have to buy PS1 or PS2 controllers ever again!!

It's so awesome that people who don't need it (yet) will buy it and at least have it as.a conversation piece or display item.
I just hope they make enough so the truly disabled can still get one.

This has been obvious for many many months. The game section got smaller and smaller with less linear shelf space devoted to all game systems, switch, Xbox and playstation.
Asda are the same. Like Tesco, they hardly stock CDs, DVDs or video games.

It's a shame, as these superstores played their part in closing down the smaller video game shops like game exchange, and even places like Game, who now seem to have retreated from their own high street stores into sports direct stores.
As soon as the competition is gone, they then stop selling the games too!
Tesco did some mad deals like ps5 sackboy disc version for £2 recently. It was clear they were just clearing out all their existing stock

Anyone else noticed that both the Horizon lead character and the final fantasy lead character do this really annoying breathy voice style.
Both games are great, but that breathy voice style is distracting..

That looks about as good an idea as the Tony hawk's skateboard controller.

Good luck to them if they can get a few people to buy one. Fomo and all that...

@naruball I got final fantasy 7 remake a full week before it came out through shopto.
So early I actually couldn't stream it or even take screen shots, the ps5 prevented me from doing so!

As for having to be in, shopto put games through my letterbox

@KundaliniRising333

If you've seen the end credits of the people who were involved, it's truly jaw dropping. I fast forwarded it either stick and it still took forever!!

Digital sales are hidden so the opposition doesn't know how popular something is.

Interesting fact, Atari used to Do a similar thing with their arcade cabinets, not using sequential numbers so the competition couldn't buy an asteroids cabinet or whatever and know how many had been sold up til that point..

Only the tax man knows how many they sold digitally!

@NeutronBomb true about the fetch quests. They really are filler. But let's face it, it would be a short game without them!

I gave it a 7 on this poll, I'm level 42 having done all side quests and hunts every time before going on to the next part of the story and it's red icon, so I believe I've seen all there is to see up to the point I'm at..

Some of the fetch quests are so uninvolved it's distracting. One had me walk out of a bar and talk to a guy immediately outside.

The lack of a complex system like materia, pairing those with other materia to enhance the weapons or armour, and the lack of any need to scan an enemy or steal from them to get rare items is a big loss in my opinion.

However, it's great that you'll never need a guide to follow in case you miss one time items and events, and also some battles in final fantasy had me looking up a specific build or strategy like casting spells on my mirrored characters to do more damage. It's good that you don't feel the need to copy someone else because you got stuck at a point.

I feel it's a must play for people who love final fantasy and are aware of how different it is from other, more complicated games in the series. But that doesn't make it an immediate 10 for me yet.

Maybe a full replay will happen after I bear the story and it will be full of really hard optional battles and I'll change my mind..

You miss everything you don't do...

Ok, got it, thanks..

I think the point of the article should be, can you replay areas to get any side quests that were there, as suggested in the early part of the game?

If you leave it all to the end, are they all there waiting, or is it just the last ones of that area..

Doesn't bother me, as I do them all as I go, and do hunts as soon as they appear on the moogle board... Learnt my lesson on FF fomo from "hold all weapons and accessories in the game" trophy many years ago. Sold a ring (probably frost) that I couldn't upgrade to get the trophy, and there was no way to get that ring again..

Wow, had a comment removed as I thought 2 of the options were irrelevant...
But one guy can post 13 comments about essentially his financial situation.
Odd.

@KidRyan it's a fun game, especially once you learn the unblockable combo and the heavy stun move. Makes doing the finishers really enjoyable

@Fighting_Game_Loser
I put money on there being a day one patch that needs the internet!
But I guess if you aren't online it will never know!

It's really not that impressive to be on two discs.

As already mentioned, many games have an install disc and a play disc. So if the norm is occasionally 2 discs, then I'll get excited whe it's an 8 disc release..

I'm basing this on old playstation games being on a single disc, (the norm) and then the final fantasy games that came out on 4 discs. Four times the norm is impressive! Being on the 8 disc games, lol.

Hmm. Comments for December 2022.
Clear cache anyone?

@bighal Don't weaken your morals.
Cancel it. Job done.

I wasn't expecting it!

I assumed that there was firstly a big chunk of XVI, and also, it was a PS5/PSVR2 presentation, so maybe Rebirth is also going to be on PS4?

We all knew it would be more than a full price game (one edition is £109!!)

And we also knew it would push in game purchases.

Thankfully, some of us stuck to our guns and didn't buy it. I watched a few YouTube videos, thought it looked pretty fun, and then walked away.

This will clearly go free at some point or £9.99 on disk at Smyths like all the other Lego games, but even then, with the threat of microtransactions, I'll probably still avoid it.

Time to reset the comments. December 2022 still here, artificially inflating the comments count to 133

Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo.
Still have my SNES, my 64, we have 12 switches in the house, including loads of limited editions, and just one oled..

But the wishy washy pastel graphics of the new Zelda that I've seen on the adverts just hasn't grabbed my desire to buy it. I considered the special edition switch but it didn't have the game bundled.

I guess I'll just wait for my ffxvi pre-order to come, and play some really obscure playstation games while I wait like bee simulator.. how times.habe changed.

Once the price drops in a coupe of months I'll play it. That's if it's not a hot mess like Nickelodeon kart or similar!

Well, I agree that the PS1 title was the most iconic, I voted PS3 because of the ability to really customise the xmb icons, and the backgrounds and wallpapers, play and rip CDs, as an all round console, the PS3 was untouchable.

I think we all knew the answer before we clicked on the article.. but we just wanted to see how desperate you were to get the clicks. At least it was short and sweet.

In next week's thrilling news story, we ask "Can the PlayStation 5 perform CPR on you in an emergency"

In terms of amount of time played, GT7 isn't my top racing game..

Nice graphics are one thing.
Realism is another, which was spoilt by me by the BMW mini being wildly inaccurate, including different interior depending on camera chosen, which makes no sense at all. (If you don't understand what I mean, then you haven't owned and driven the early minis like I have) Given the car I know inside out is wrong, that kind of makes me think that maybe the other cars aren't exactly correct, and that the entire appeal, right? And so that was no longer a draw for me..
Then there is the needless repetition for cars that you won't use just for trophies and completionist same, and the forced FOMO of limited time cars. Scummy behaviour..

@Beerheadgamer82
71.35 GB minimum

That's my install from new years eve 2020 anyway, I doubt it got a patch.
That's including DLC

Gram turismo franchise should have embraced the Cars movies. I bet load sof people would DLC lightning McQueen etc...

Well, since the £50 DLC pack became free for the royal edition, the price of second hand sales of the disc version have jumped up considerably. You may get lucky and find a seller who has no idea what it's worth though. And the steelbook version is commanding strong money too

Grid is great, already have it on physical release..
But it's a bit annoying when you have to do 2 different races to unlock a third, but the third only unlocks when you do one of the first two twice, due to a stupid minimum miles requirement to unlock the third..

Maybe they will go with an extremely experimental story line, where there is a straight love story.
That would probably offend a few people though, lol

How about they install an app that controls the optical drive so that it can play CDs etc.. surely then we could also play PS1 games like rage racer!

@caiol92 you just cancel the install and go to "select version"
Some of us like to get the PS4 version too, especially the trophy hunters!

@Nekomichu why was the pro a bad purchase.
I have 3.
Release black, glacier white, and the 500m LE translucent blue..

But I agree, we don't need a new PS5 yet, we need more console exclusives and bit just in the form of DLC

Sony: Oh no, we are making even more money, able to raise the price of our consoles due to high demand, and now have to produce and ship less physical games, that we can virtue signal as good for the environment, while also limiting second hand sales and keeping the digital games market prices higher, which we make more profit on than physical games..

Whatever will we do..

Ugh. Now I gotta buy another controller

My only gripe with PS5 is I have to use my Roku to use itvX and a few other on demand services because in the UK we have BBC iPlayer and not a lot else.
If you are in the UK, you'll know what I mean

@FenIsMightier just pay for everything on PayPal. No cards needed. I buy all my Japanese, Hong Kong, American software on PayPal, and I live in the UK

"Hangs up his trench coat" at best means has given up, and in this case should imply that the game was going to come out but it's been cancelled.
Who writes this stuff? Who checks it? And what is the game exactly? We knew more before this article, I reckon.

@HOWARDSROCK spawnwave is great. But I can't watch him now he has contacts... Just spoilt his look! And all those awful Ali Baba add ons he buys for the ps5.. lol

@Smiffy01 it's an amusing joke, but your PS5 wouldn't run if you did remove the drive. The mother board checks for the daughter board on the drive and kicks up an error.

I put more hours into grid legends than GT7, and so I honestly believe grid legends is the better game.
The other 2 sound interesting...

Hopefully Aloy will have had enough time to catch her breath, and she won't sound like she's just run up a load of stairs, whilst trying to sound like Gladys from hi de hi.
Jesus her puffy pant vocal delivery is annoying

Of some of you really want to know about Musk, there's plenty of decent documentaries about..
He was loaded, made more money, nearly lost it all, but really got Uber rich with the space contract.
Let's hope he spends it wisely.

As for the check mark, it really doesn't matter at all

So many people thinking the scalpers are hurting from this.

They made £200+ a console, probably sold 50 or so over two years without even trying.
This cut price stratios just shrinkage, the cost of doing business. They are entrepreneurs and no worse than apple who famously just put components already in existence and packaged it up at huge mark ups.
Some of these had warranties that ran out while still in the box (like my ratchet and clank edition on my display shelf)

The real bad guys are the people who allowed scalping to happen.
The idiot buyers who fell for pester power and FOMO.
Sony for not having a system where when a ps5 console was sold, the serial number of each one started a 2 day timer where the ps5 should be required to go online and be linked with a psn account that has had its address and IP address verified. This would have made selling multiple units from one house much more difficult.. Sure people may have used VPNs, but the address thing would have hindered most opportunist sellers.
I'd write more, but I can't be arsed!

So.. when does speedstorm go free to play forever on PlayStation.
It's clearly geared up for microtransactions..
