Gotta agree with @awp69 where the dialogue is concerned.The start and tutorial is the worst of it but the rest of the game isant too bad!
This game I didn't really fancy the look of it was first announced but I played all 4 hours of the trial and was hooked!Bought the digital version and don't regret it.Definitely an 8 or 9 from me.
I'll be spending A LOT of time on Riders Republic which after playing the beta I couldn't help but buy the digital version yesterday rather than add it to my birthday list..absolutely loving it! Tales Of Arise is also on the agenda as it is every day Project Zero tonight and also Voice of Cards on Switch. Enjoy your weekend all!
@playstation1995 I'll add to the Days Gone Love.Gotta admit I wasn't too impressed when I first started it but by the time id finished it,it had become my GOTY!it sucks a sequel will never come PS Nightmare on Elm Street (NOT remake) and Halloween are awesome!
Damn that's a disappointing score!Played the first two on PlayStation years ago and remember loving them so this is the rare occasion I digitally preordered as I was so excited to finally play another game in the series.. Hoping this is another time where your score for a game is well below what id give it..
Been playing the Riders Republic beta and am absolutely loving it!Only an.hours worth of playtime left but I'll definitely pick this one up at some point...or stick it on the birthday/Christmas list. Will also be continuing the excellent Tales of Arise...just finishing up sidequests at moment before carrying on with the story. Bought Cosy Grove last week which I'm enjoying alot.Very relaxing and I'm enjoying the change of pace.
On the Switch I've been playing Eastward.A great game that I nearly didant bother with.Glad I did,it will keep me going until Voice Of Cards next week!
Having an absolute blast with it and put nearly forty hours in so far! Personally at the moment id give it a 9 but maybe after feeling so let down by the last two Tales games I played I feel extra relieved and excited that the series is back on form and I'm just being extra generous. Tales Of Graces and Tales Of Abyss have always been my favourite but with this game it might of just reached those heights for me.
@Flaming_Kaiser I don't understand why they aren't doing a physical everywhere else.I'd much rather physical but so desperate to play Project Zero I'll buy digital day one.Can't decide Ps4 or Switch though!
Fired up my PSVR first time in MONTHS to play Puzzle Bobble 3D..been looking forward to it and pleased to say I'm having a blast with Bub And Bob Continuing my adventure in the fantastic Tales Of Arise..really loving it now,such a great game compared to the last couple of Tales I played.About 30 hours or so into it and don't want it to end. Will do a bit of Yakuza Zero on the Ps4 too which I'm still working my way through..just keep getting distracted by the business side of things
Where's the option for 'it's going on my birthday list'? Seriously I was planning on buying the steelbook with season pass but I have so much to play as usual id be tempted to throw what I'm doing aside.Besides,I have Project Zero and Voice Of Cards at the end of the month!
I'll be continuing my adventure in Tales Of Arise.Twenty hours in and loving it! Will maybe go back to Yakuza Zero as I've finished my time with the awesome Ghost Of Tsushima expansion.
My birthday in November so I'll probably have to add all the games to my list or I will get moaned at. Far Cry 6 is an obvious one as I've played them all. Guardians Of The Galaxy to me looks surprisingly fun and decent.
Games that are digital only I will be able to buy Day One such as House Of Ashes even though I know it won't be a patch on Until Dawn.Project Zero..absolutely stoked for this game! And lastly Voice Of Cards which I'm more excited for than I ever thought I would be!
After playing the demo this morning I have to say I'm hooked!Now I'm really looking forward to the main game! Having absolutely no interest when this was announced id like to say a big thanks to @ShogunRok for insisting we try it.
I have nothing against card based games but this didant appeal to me at all and had no interest in the demo either but now you have made the effort to write a piece on why I should try it?oh go on then!
@Iver @Cheems Cheers for your opinions on those games.The amount of times I've looked and hovered over the purchase button for each is ridiculous.I think it's not the kind of game in used to so unsure about it.But like you say Mudrunner is pretty cheap now anyway so will most likely to for it.
Tales Of Arise is the main one for me.About ten hours into it and really enjoying it.Love the combat!...Tales Of Graces F and Abyss are still my faves though..so far.. Will also be continuing my Iki island exploration and on the Switch I'll be playing some Pikmin 3 Enjoy your weekend all.
I'm pretty sick of the whole Marvel world now.I tried to keep up with the films but I'm way behind as I just got burnt out on watching superhero stuff all the time.As much as I love Spiderman game for the PS5 and the fact I'm looking forward to eventually playing Miles Morales,Spiderman 2,Wolverine and Guardians Of The Galaxy,id rather them give it a rest and give us something original.
@Daleaf Yeah gotta say I was stuck in that one for a bit too the first time I played it.But unfortunately it's not that one it's the 'Every Trick In The Book' trophy where you have to obtain all the throwable techniques.Which I have done,I'm totally levelled up now and no trophy.Extremely frustrating as I'm sure if I'd of kept more than one save file I may of been able to get it to pop but alas.. Cheers for your help though
I'll be playing the Iki expansion in Ghost Of Tsushima.Finished the main game 100 per cent for second time and I STILL failed to obtain the Plat as one trophy is obviously glitched. Finished Life Is Strange True Colours which I loved..for the first three episodes and then it all went downhill from there.And only ten hours to complete and Plat??I'm pleased with my steelbook but not worth the money. Started Tales Of Arise which I'm really enjoying..
I loved both the Dishonoured games but this game held no interest for me from the moment it was announced.The amount of advertising it had I ended up getting sick of hearing about it.
I'm glad it got decent scores but I doubt I'll ever play it..unless it ends up on PS Plus.
Put in a preorder as soon as id spent ten mins on the demo!Not started it yet though. Played every game in series except Berseria (which I have in back log). Hopefully a Tales Of The Abyss and Graces F for Ps5 until next game in the series..
Today I'll be continuing my second playthrough of Ghost Of Tsushima..absolutely loving it like the first time I played it and yet to explore Iki expansion yet too. I've also been doing a lot of Neo The World Ends With You which id put on pause for a while but I'm really into it now. Started Life Is Strange True Colours last night and asking myself if I should also start Tales Of Arise.I'm back to work next week so with limited game time I don't think having loads of games on the go is a good idea..
Pretty sick of hearing about this game to be honest.Played it on the Xbox 360 which feels like twenty years ago now and thought it was the weakest GTA by far.Are people buying the game for their new born babies because every one must own it by now?
Great review,shame it got a low score.I've loved EVERY Life Is Strange so far but the only reason I ordered the game Day One though was for the sweet Steelbook otherwise I would of waited for a sale after this review. Definitely gonna wait for a patch though if it's that bad..
@Matroska Yes that's it exactly!It felt so cheap and dissapointing.It was like they couldn't be bothered with the designs on that one and maybe no-one would notice..gotta say I was sure it was Zestiria but I think it's mainly cuz I remember being disappointed in both.Strangely enough I quite enjoyed Xillia 2 though.
@ShogunRok Excellent,thanks for the quick response.Nothing I hate more in an rpg going to a new town or village to find it's identical to the one just visited.
Thanks for the review,so excited to see it receive a 9!
Absolutely loved the demo..and after only 10 minutes on it I just decided id buy Day One.
After being disappointed on the last two I played im so relieved to see the Franchise get back on track.
Just one question...do the town's all look different and have their own personality or do they feel copy and pasted like the last couple..(I think it was Zestiria?)
After being disappointed with the last couple of Tales and still not bothering to try Berseria I am pleased to say the demo for this game has absolutely convinced me to buy Day One...can't see myself being disappointed in this one!
Personally I'd be happy if they don't mention or show ANY game that we don't already know about and concentrate on brand new games only.Of course that in itself is unrealistic as I expect ten minutes will be on Deathloop.. Id love an Infamous Collection to be announced as I only ever played and loved Infamous Second Son/First Light. A new Burnout game announced. Gameplay on Callisto Protocol. Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake announcement. Days Gone 2 surprise announcement. Sly Cooper/Jak And Daxter crossover game.
I'm buying the Ps4 upgrade.Was going to go the PS5 upgrade route but to be honest I have plenty of memory left on Ps4 compared to Ps5 and I'll just start from scratch again. Never managed to obtain the Plat the first time either because I had trouble with my account that prevented 11 trophies from pinging.
@Logonogo Oh I'm not denying it was fun,I just felt disappointed after absolutely loving Saints Row 2.I admit my memory isant that good but I do agree with @Wolfie_Pie that the story was so much better for 2 and the others that came after seemed to take a backseat to the story and were just trying to make it feel more like a 'go have fun in the playground'. Shaundy Stoner hippy all the way!lol
Been heavily into Shadow Of War...Absolutely fantastic game that considering I loved Shadow Of Mordor I waited this long to play the sequel. Also really got back into Yakuza Zero after giving it up or putting it aside when the Real Estate made an appearance as I was totally confused but now it's one of the best parts of the game!Making tons of money Finally managed to buy some third party joy cons for my Switch which arrived today so hopefully I can play handheld without drift at long last.
Life Is Strange True Colours I'm actually looking forward to the most on this list but I will most probably buy Tales Of Arise day one now because it's really looking like it will make up for the last couple of disappointing games in the series. Sonic Colours and Kitaria Fables im also interested in.. I also love the look of Lost Judgement but I'm still playing Yakuza Zero and any more would burn me out.

Re: The Uncharted Movie Trailer Is Finally Here
@TeapotBuddha Spot on with that comment.Mark Wahlbergs 'acting' is atrocious.I usually avoid anything with him in it.
Re: The Uncharted Movie Trailer Is Finally Here
Terrible casting,no mustache or anything that feels Uncharted (except for that one scene).Looks like a straight to dvd release.
Re: New Saints Row Story Mission Gameplay Is Our Best Look at the Reboot Yet
I'm really liking the look of this.Disappointed in the last couple of Saints Row games but unlike a lot of people im pretty excited for this one.
Re: Capcom Teasing Seven Resident Evil Reveals for Halloween
Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake is the only announcement I care about.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Tales of Arise?
Having an absolute blast with it and put nearly forty hours in so far!
Personally at the moment id give it a 9 but maybe after feeling so let down by the last two Tales games I played I feel extra relieved and excited that the series is back on form and I'm just being extra generous.

Re: PS Plus Games for October 2021 Are Available Now on PS5, PS4
Rubbish month so nothing for me..instead I bought Mail Mole in the sale and having fun with that.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for October 2021?
I voted a crap selection but like always I have so much to play anyway I'm not too bothered..(ok a little bit..)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 396
I'll be continuing my adventure in Tales Of Arise.Twenty hours in and loving it!
Will maybe go back to Yakuza Zero as I've finished my time with the awesome Ghost Of Tsushima expansion.

Re: There's a Dicey inFAMOUS PS5 Rumour Doing the Rounds
I put this on my unrealistic predictions earlier so if a brand new game or a remake is announced I'll be thrilled!

Personally I'd be happy if they don't mention or show ANY game that we don't already know about and concentrate on brand new games only.Of course that in itself is unrealistic as I expect ten minutes will be on Deathloop..
Id love an Infamous Collection to be announced as I only ever played and loved Infamous Second Son/First Light.
A new Burnout game announced.
Gameplay on Callisto Protocol.
Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake announcement.
Days Gone 2 surprise announcement.
Sly Cooper/Jak And Daxter crossover game.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
Been heavily into Shadow Of War...Absolutely fantastic game that considering I loved Shadow Of Mordor I waited this long to play the sequel.
Also really got back into Yakuza Zero after giving it up or putting it aside when the Real Estate made an appearance as I was totally confused but now it's one of the best parts of the game!Making tons of money
Finally managed to buy some third party joy cons for my Switch which arrived today so hopefully I can play handheld without drift at long last.
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for August and September 2021
Life Is Strange True Colours I'm actually looking forward to the most on this list but I will most probably buy Tales Of Arise day one now because it's really looking like it will make up for the last couple of disappointing games in the series.
Sonic Colours and Kitaria Fables im also interested in..
I also love the look of Lost Judgement but I'm still playing Yakuza Zero and any more would burn me out.
