Never understood Trophies. I play for enjoyment and to relax, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I play some games on their easiest settings for that very reason.
Trophies seem to add unneeded pressure or a cheap way for Devs to make people play the game again because they missed a trophy 15hrs into the game.
If that's your thing, than fine, I have no issues with it, but like I said, I just don't understand Trophies...
Didn't like the trailer. Tagline is 'Stay Human', but they seem Superhuman. I mean, slamming an axe into the ground causing several people several feet away to fall over. Is this dying light or a Marvel Thor game....

I would like to know how many of the 10million are actually in the hands of end users. My local computer shop has 3 of these in the windows for £700+ each and ebay and Amazon is rife with high prices.
@Floki Thanks for the reply Floki. Your right, the PS5 doesn't support 1440 and mostly upscales from 1080 to 1440, but the latest Odyssey update allows the PS5 to output 4K and the monitor down samples to 1440. But again, your right 120Hz isn't supported on HDMi 2.0 or less and I forgot about that.
@ronb44 They've always had buggy games when it comes to their big two (Fallout and Skyrim).
The only thing saving them is they actually facilitate modding. Then again, that saves the actual developers having to fix their own broken games as the community does it far better.
Look at Fallout 76. They are just adding Perk Loadouts, but the modding community added it about a year ago for PC.
@Medic_Alert "Am I ready to ditch the discs just yet? Not while the price of new games remains so much higher than physical. If they matched that though?
I'd probably be there."
The problem with that though is, that if they do go ALL DIGITAL, they would actually be NOTHING to price match with and the prices would stay higher for much longer. And, as you couldn't physically buy them anywhere else, sales would probably be far fewer too.
Unless Bethesda create a new 'Creation' engine, they can keep the game exclusive to themselves. Only thanks to modders that there fallout and elder scrolls are 'reasonably' stable and playable. And modding doesn't usually come for a year or 2 after.
Can someone please explain why trophies are 'valuable'. I play PS4 games for fun and have never even noticed or took notice as to which trophies I've unlocked. Do Platinum trophies have an actual value or is it all just for bragging rights...
Having played Wasteland 2 I was looking forward to this game.
I am not disappointed. Apart from the crashing and bugs mentioned, it's great fun. One of the few games where I cannot wait to read letters, computers and lore books.
I will say this for new players, play the game for around 2-3 hours and then restart once you are familiar with the mechanics. I'm about to restart the game for the third time now I'm more familiar with the menus.
ALSO: your starting characters cannot possibly be experts in all areas so choose carefully and don't have two characters specialising in the same skills, they don't seem to stack, (One player with 4 lockpick and another with 3 lockpick DOES NOT give 7 lockpick).
I loved Far Cry 3 and 4, but hated Far Cry 5 because of the stupid way you could be tranq'd whilst flying 1000ft in the air and then wake up miraculously unharmed in a cell somewhere. I hope this goes back to the 3 or 4 style and not the 5 joke.

Re: The Last of Us: Part I Has a $100 Version, and It's Already Sold Out
How many microtransactions are going to be added to this post release?
I assume a few as the $100 firefly version already comes with several skins and component packs...
Re: Reaction: Why You Shouldn't Worry About Sony's New Strategy
Don't live service games generally rely on 'Loot Boxes'.
If so, then they should be worried because a report I read about today says that 18 countries may decide to ban them because of gambling mechanics.

Re: The Last of Us PS5 Remake Allegedly a Major Holiday Release
If the integrate 'Left Behind' into the story rather than it been an extra from the main menu, then I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Wouldn't mind, but I've played a lot of the games mentioned...

What about for monitors. I have a Samsung G5 Odyssey which runs at 120Hz+.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?
Good game, but not really RE scary.
7 out of 10 for me. 3rd person shooting mechanic in 1st person game???
Re: Sony Wins Many BAFTA Awards, But Hades Takes Game of the Year
I don't understand these game award things. Surely 'Best Game' and 'Game of the Year' is the same thing?
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum to Debut First Footage at Future Games Show Spring Showcase
Is that screen image from the game. If so, is it sponsored by Funko Pop figures. The head looks huge.
Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?
@Serialsid What worries me was when Microsoft said..
'As we shared previously, it’s vitally important that Bethesda continues making games the way it always has.'
Which to me means buggy and on old game engines.

At an average of around £12 each per month, that equals roughly £2.5 billion per year.

Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?
I won't miss any Bethesda game, but only because I was very luck and was able to get Both a PS5 and an Xbox Series X on launch.
I can't believe how hard they are to get for actual RRP now because of the scalpers.

Re: Second PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now
Why did they remove folders on the PS5. It's not a massive thing, but a useful one and one people asked for constantly on the PS4.
Re: Sony Adds Game Names to New PlayStation Store on Web Browser
At this time in UK, clicking on Download Now for 'Hollow Knight' takes you to a 404 not found page....lol...

Re: You Can Transfer Your PS4 Games and Save Data to PS5
I have the vast majority of my PS4 games on an External USB SSD.
Can I just remove that from my PS4 and plug it into the PS5 and run the games?
EDIT: Just seen DeathAxe reply above, sorry.

Re: Interview: What Does a Professional Trophy Hunter Think of the New Levelling System?

Re: Watch Dogs Legion Season Pass Includes Free Copy of the First Game
Really liked the first game.
Couldn't get into the second one, (too gimmicky).
This third one looks like more of the same so I'll pass.

Re: Naughty Dog Discusses The Last of Us 2 Gameplay in Latest Video
Disappointing video in that there was no new footage, just a rehash of other released video.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Still the Bestselling PS4 Game in a Stagnant Top 10
I'm sure it's not the game that's selling, but the 'Whale' and 'Shark' cards they keep pushing for the multiplayer part.
I may be wrong of course, but after around 5 years, I'm sure just about everyone on the planet has a copy by now.
Re: PGA Tour 2K21 Tees Off 21st August on PS4, Features 15 Licensed Courses
15 licenced courses included, but probably microtransaction for every new golf club, ball, and outfit.
Re: Sounds Like We'll Be Getting More The Last of Us 2 Info in the Run Up to Launch
I'd like to know what, if any, settings can be tweeked.
1. Can we remap triggers like in the 1st game?
2. What PS4 Pro features can be turned on or off?
3. What is the FPS and at what resolutions?
4. etc
Things like that are important to me...
Re: Fallout 76's Gigantic Day One Patch Is Bigger Than the 45GB Game
I thought console players had to uninstall the BETA and install the Full Version, so the game is only 54Gb total.
