Fine with free pes not played the other game but will give it ago but value wise a little poor again especially as new pes is out in a couple of months
@get2sammyb I would strongly disagree with the ultimate team stuff. They target kids as to be competitive you need a messi or Ronaldo so it encourages people to buy packs. Even esports players have said they have to spend £200 plus just to compete. If all players were equal it would be fine but it’s blatant pay 2 win and fifa is an all age game
This announcement seems to have backfired in my eyes. Announcing it on Microsofts stage just brought up questions of whether its coming to PS4 and then the whole America thing is just baffling, so much confusion around it no one comes off well.
Got the Plat on the PS3 version loved the game but not sure I can put in another 100+ hours. I think I preferred the pokemon style combat in this one to the combat in the new one.
The Final fantasy stuff was amazing but the Avengers stuff was shocking they showed no gameplay how can you end a show with Avengers and have people going what do you even do in the game. I am not sure why everyone is giving them a pass on that.
I Have never finished 8 either spent too much time playing triple triad or lost interest. Think the furthest I made it was end of Disc 2 would possibly give it one last go if it did release.
Overall for me it wasn't great. Lack of gameplay on most things was disappointing especially gears as it is 3 months away. Why did they have wrestlers under the stage and not show them playing the game very strange. Obviously Cyberpunk stuff was a big thing. The other highlights for me were Blair Witch and 12 minutes both looked interesting. Problem is Microsoft only seem to have Gears, Halo and Forza and not a lot else. There game pass stuff is really good just need better first party stuff I feel.
@thefirst Yeah UK prices and selection very poor compared to the American sale. In the UK Argos has some good deals the Hits games are £10 picked up Last of Us will give it a third shot at finishing the game
@BowTiesAreCool Will make sure I stick it out for the first couple of hours to give it a fair crack. I am in a lull for new releases so nice to pick up games cheap and give them a go that I have missed in the last few years.
Really hard to get excited for this year just feels this year is just limping its way to the next generation. Microsoft will be good for the 3rd party games I am sure they will mention new console but it will just be spec and nothing else so no details average people like me want to know as I have no idea what a teraflop is! Only interested in Squares for FFVII news.
Least it will answer the question who was screwing up Destiny Bungie or Activision. If they announce an expansion and a season pass think I will give it a miss this time. Even if it is Destiny 3 think I will wait a month or so after release to wait for feedback.
I would guess the next thing they bring out is Destiny 3 cant see them doing another expansion to 2 would of thought they would want a clean break from Activision a new expansion to 2 would muddy that.
They have been getting a lot of stick for there choices last few months. Will be interesting to see what the choices are for Sony and Microsoft as they got stick last month as well.
It looks like you will have your triple A games then every AA game being made by THQ Nordic! They have bought all these studios but not really produced anything of note so far Darksiders 3 got a luke warm reception.
@ZeD You get a guy called Ray with the console every time you press a certain button he pops up on screen and traces the screen to give you a real life screenshot to put up on your bedroom wall.
I think Games as a service can work at the start of a console life mainly due to the lack of games to play. Destiny got its hooks into me as there was not a lot of other games releasing at that time. Buy the time Destiny 2 came around there were lots of games to play so after about 60 hours of doing the same stuff over and over again just thought I could be playing lot of different games.
The other problem being a lot of the games as service are broken or under featured at release like Anthem and usually have to pay more to fix these problems like forsaken with Destiny 2.
If Sony want to cash in on the games as a service then they need a competent game to release in the first year or so.
Had the game since Saturday its a lot of fun agree with the comment about the objective modes being challenging and some of them they don't really explain very well either. Online didn't seem to have many players but putting that down to the game not officially being out yet so hopefully from today it improves.
I think if your unsure on a bethesda game your best waiting six months as its usually £10 by then. Prey, Fallout 4, Dishonored and Doom all have dropped to £10 on disc. I think I remember reading somewhere they produce way more discs then they need so that's why they drop in price quickly.
Just had a look at the trophies don't think there that bad. There are no condor requirements like the main game. Got the platinum on the normal game so hopefully can do the same in VR.
@Quintumply Thanks that's great means the girlfriend and I can play together which is nice just got a dispatch email for it so fingers crossed may even get it tomorrow.
I have this pre ordered but a little worried about it did manage to pick it up for just under £25 so not a massive risk. Does kinda sound like the team mechanic should of been a multiplayer mode and not the full emphasis of the game. Does the game have local split screen?
It was ok think they could of mixed the 2 a bit better as in put a couple of VR announcements in this one and maybe put the predator and away announcement in the first one would of made both more palatable in my opinion. Most of the announcements were bittersweet for me. The predator one looked interesting then said it was a multiplayer game which lost all interest for me. Away looked really nice and interesting then they said it was a survival game and my interest dropped again but it is one I will keep an eye on. The Final Fantasy one was nice still not sure on combat and would of been nice to show a small glimpse of anything other then Midgar as it was all dark and grimey.
I wonder if you have to get 3 Condors for the trophies again! Looking forward to this. Does anyone know if you pre order the physical version do you still get bonus items and themes?
@Splat As far as I know the developers get paid per game "sold" its why you have to go through checkout procedure even though there free so Sony have the data of how many copies were "sold"
@R1spam You are correct. I seemed to have missed that one as its not in purchased list that's a shame been kinda wanting to give that a go again oh well need to pay more attention in the future.

Wonder why you don't get Forsaken as that is one of the better bits of the last 2 years the rest has been poor to average.
Re: Guide: When Is EA's E3 2019 Livestream?

Re: Are You Ready, Kids? SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated Announced
So are they not going to do any new games with all the ips they bought just remaster PS2 and PS3 games.
Re: Sony Doesn't Think It Talked About PS Now Enough
I think the other problem it has is the cost is to high if it was priced more reasonably reckon they would get more people interested in it.
Re: Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Leaks Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal
So Bungies first thing flying solo is reskinning something from Destiny 1 not the greatest of starts. Moon was probably worst planet in Destiny 1.
