Haven't played that many games this year.
The Last of Us: Part II (9.5/10)
Ghost of Tsushima (8.5/10) - Bumped up the score a bit because Legends was quite fun albeit a little bit repetitive.
Final Fantasy VII Remake (7.5/10)
Even though I don't play a whole lot of first person view games. I was actually interested in CP2077 and had pre-ordered it. Luckily I cancelled it a day before it was released. Mainly because CDPR didn't give reviewers any samples of console code, and only allowed pre-rendered stock footage and wouldn't let reviewers use their own captured footage on any platform.
Monster Hunter 6 in three years time is believable since Capcom has two teams working on the MH games. One for Nintendo and the other for Playstation. MHRise is releasing next year and it'll probably get another version in 2022. Which means there's a possibility that we'll get a new MH game for the PS5 in 2023.
Why are Ubisoft games always so buggy at launch? It's like the developer doesn't hire game testers. Instead they rely on the consumers to do the bug testing for them.
Gamespot did some backwards compatibility games loading times comparisons between the PS5 and the Xbox Series X and the latter had quicker loading times.
Just beaten Nightmare Survival via matchmaking earlier today. Unfortunately we couldn't defend all the zones so we didn't get the headgear, only the armor.
Just gonna have to treat this like the Godzilla, Kong, Transformers and Pacific Rim movies. Don't have high expectations for the story but at least the monsters look great. Btw, Milla Jovovich's character is using the wrong element against Black Diablos and Rathalos. Fire element isn't effective against them.lol Also, they actually released two different trailers. The Brazil version has a few different scenes in it.
I think all four next gen consoles are ugly with the standard PS5 console being probably the ugliest. It looks like a giant wafer ice cream sandwich. But when I get one, it'll definitely be the all-black version. At least it looks better than the black and white version.
Nah, never bought a console at launch plus the launch line-up doesn't really excite me. Personally, the Playstation consoles historically never really had strong launch title line-ups. Besides if Spider-man: Miles Morales is good I could still get the PS4 version.
Can't say I'm surprised with that $40 price for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales but only because I have a weird feeling that's gonna be an expansion type game rather than an actual sequel.
@Jaz007 I read that this game is set in the Arkham universe. They're probably just trying to promote the new Suicide Squad movie. Harley Quinn's face looks totally different now.
Not really feelin' Gotham Knights. As for Suicide Squad, the trailer was okay, definitely need to see some gameplay footage first. Harley Quinn looks like Margot Robbie, btw.
This looks really impressive. Even more so than Lost Soul Aside but I my friend said that it's currently confirmed for PC only? Also the studio apparently only has 30 employees currently.
@BearsEatBeets @Spoonman-2 @Rob_230 @Mintie @Th3solution Received the code from Amazon this morning after contacting customer service last night. Thanks, guys.
@BearsEatBeets Thanks, man. Just wanted to make sure since I haven't received my game, yet from Amazon. I'll probably contact them tomorrow if they still haven't email me the code.
For those who pre-ordered the physical editions are the pre-order bonuses like the Digital Mini Soundtrack, Jin Avatar and Jin PS4 Dynamic Theme included on a voucher?
First of all, I’m glad I stayed away from anything TLOU2 related when info regarding the game weak a couple of months ago. I actually like the game though not as much as the first one.
I thought it was unique that the game let’s you play as the antagonist. Though you could argue that Ellie was kinda turning into a villain as well when she forced Abby to fight her by holding a knife to Lev’s neck during the last chapter. My main issue was that Abby’s gameplay portion was way too long which lead to some pacing issues. Her story almost fills like filler at times and probably would’ve been better if it was 5 instead of 10 hours of gameplay. To be honest, I would’ve been happy if the story ended during the farm chapter.
Joel’s death didn’t bother me at all, but it did shocked me when it happened.
There were a few uncomfortable moments though like the fight scene during the last chapter and also the full frontal nudity sex scene. Don’t think the latter needs to be in games. We already have a lot of that in movies and especially tv shows.
There were also too many occasions where surprised attacks happened just as characters were either entering or exiting an area.
My favourite chapter was the Birthday Gift one and I love some of the new characters like Dina, Jesse and Lev. Oh yeah, the visuals were jaw dropping too.
Haven't bought a single AC game, yet but this reminds me of History Channel's Viking tv series which I liked. I'm actually looking forward to seeing some gameplay.
@Deadlyblack @Rob_230 They should be the same as the ones from Japan. You can buy and use the themes on different accounts but not the avatars unfortunately.

Re: CD Projekt Red Apologises for Hiding Cyberpunk 2077 on Base PS4, Makes Refunds Widely Available
Also, refunds or not I don't think people should be defending the developer.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Cyberpunk 2077?
@Rob_230 I wasn't aware that they'll be releasing a full PS5 version. Thought all we're getting is just a free upgrade for the PS4 version.
Re: Streamer Beats Demon's Souls PS5 Without Taking a Single Hit
Someone completed a MHW story run without taking damage as well if I'm not mistaken.
Re: Sony Banning PS5 Owners for Exploiting PS Plus Collection
Damn, that person's already made back at least $400. Essentially making his PS5 free.
Re: Sony on PS5's Response to Game Pass: There Is News to Come, But Not Today
Not having to subscribe to PS+ in order to play multiplayer games online would be great but I know that's not going to happen.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Dominates Game Awards 2020 Nominations
First one was a 10 out of 10 for me. Second one, I'd probably give it either a 9 or a 9.5. Still an amazing game, though and also my GOTY.
Re: Out Today: PS5, Sony's Biggest and Most Powerful Console
"Playstation Has No Units", for those unable to get one.

Are there a lot of re-used assets or re-skinned enemies in this game?
Re: Round Up: Yakuza: Like a Dragon PS4 Reviews Justify a New Direction
@Rob_230 Cool... Thinking of maybe getting this one but most likely only when I get a PS5.
Re: Round Up: Yakuza: Like a Dragon PS4 Reviews Justify a New Direction
@Rob_230 The PS4 version is now £39.85. How much was it when you pre-ordered it?
Re: November 2020 PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now
Don't see November 2020's PlayStation Plus games. It' still showing the October games (Need for Speed: Payback and Vampyr) in the online PS Store.
Not a fan of the new online PS Store too. Not very user-friendly.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima: Legends' Raid Launches 30th October, Patch Due Today
Just beaten Nightmare Survival via matchmaking earlier today. Unfortunately we couldn't defend all the zones so we didn't get the headgear, only the armor.
Re: Watch the Opening of Ghost of Tsushima's Outstanding Legends Update
It's quite fun albeit lacking in variety. Wished there are other modes besides dominion in Survival. Anyways, looking forward to the Raids.

Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's Huge Fatalis Update Gets a Trailer Ahead of This Week's Launch
Best game on the PS4 for me. Hopefully, Capcom will develop another MH game for the PS4/PS5 in the future.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Final Fantasy 16's Graphics Not Tuned or Optimised Yet
Didn't know Yoshi-P was producing the game. No wonder the art style and NPC faces reminded me of FFXIV's when I saw the first trailer.

Getting Destiny/Anthem vibes from the gameplay trailers... Gonna play the beta first before deciding on whether I'm gonna get the game or not.

Re: Scarlet Nexus Confirmed for PS5, PS4
@Mitsui Thanks. The art direction reminded me of those two games.
Re: Scarlet Nexus Confirmed for PS5, PS4
Is it by the same team that did God Eater or Code Vein?
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Lets You Play as a Male or Female Character

Re: PSN Continues to Cope Admirably with Coronavirus Crisis
PSN's been down for the past 9 hours. Single player games are still fine, just can't play multiplayer games.
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Has Already Been Reimagined As a Sexy Anime Girl
@badbob001 Now that I think of it the white and black DualSence controller also reminds me of the robots from Portal 2.
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Has Already Been Reimagined As a Sexy Anime Girl
Meh, I like this "Ghost in the Controller" by @ka92 better.
