blockfight

Will give a try but I'm less hyped up to play it than I was given the lack of challenge and repetitive nature in gameplay.

Not a chance. Crazy money for very little upgrade. No point.

Will wait for reviews. Looks good, haven't bought a game in the series in a few years and none of the micro transactions stuff interests me so if it turns out as good as it looks then I might invest

McGregor is a clown and a scumbag. If he's making money off this then I'm staying well clear of it.

I'm definitely in the "my time is limited" camp. Last thing I wasnt is to play for an hour and make zero progress in whatever game I'm playing. It recently took me just under 2 months to beat God of War Ragnarok, and that was without doing any side missions. Just mainlined the game.

Voted no for almost everything

Loved the first one. It had it's issues but for the most part they were minor. MM was good but I think I played it too soon after the first game and it all felt like a shrunk down version of the mainline game.
Haven't got to S2 yet, gonna wait til maybe next year before having a look at that.

Just block them and move on. Why anyone interacts with these people I'll never understand.

Gets a 9 on PureXbox and a 6 here. Guess this is one game people are gonna have to do a bit of research on to see if it's for them.

One of my favourite games ever. If this comes out physical on Switch I'll be getting it for sure, (I own the PS5 Digital Edition so not an option there).
Was not expecting to love it as much as I did but it is easily in my top 5 games of all time. Sad we won't get a sequel from the original team. Hopefully we get some form of sequel in the future.

I've been an xbox guy since the original came out. This generation I'm lucky enough to have a PS5 and Switch also. But in future I'll be skipping Xbox. There's pretty much no need anymore for their console. There's only 2 games I'd miss on it's platform if I left it behind but it's not worth buying a new console for just 2 games.
Can definitely see Xbox going Software only in the next few years.

Currently have enough games to keep me going for a long time.

Will be interested to see how FC24 runs online on the PS Portal. Will try that out for sure.

Really enjoyed this game. Highly recommend.

Loving mine. Been using it for online tekken 8 multiplayer lately and moving up the ranks. Great device.

Tried it out awhile back, borrowed from a friend. It's fantastic but there's nothing I want to play on it so it's not worth the money.

Hi Fi Rush is epic. Hope you all enjoy it anyone that hasn't got to play it yet.

Hi Fi Rush is a banger of a game. One of the best I've played in the last few years.

Having great fun with it. Bouncing between completing all the character stories and having a few fights online. Winning more fights online than I thought I might but I'm by no means a pro. I'll be playing this game for a long time to come.

Thankfully I have both systems so don't need to choose. But for people not on Xbox I would highly recommend the Gears franchise and Hi Fi Rush. Halo Infinite multiplayer is great fun right now too. So many modes and maps to dive into.

Not off to a good start.

I own all 3 platforms, but my Playstation and Xbox are digital only consoles. I will buy some Nintendo games physical but that's it. For the most part I'm probably gone about 90% digital.

Everywhere is ad space now. These are pretty cool though.

Roll on Friday. This might just be the first game that gets me to pay for online sub with Playstation.

It's friggin huge. That's why we haven't seen this type of thing before. I buy a portable device so I can play it on the go or on the couch easily in my hands. This thing is a tank. Impressive what he achieved though.

@ZhuckelDror You can't directly compare scores to games. They have literally 10 numbers to work with in their review system. You're going to have games from different genres and with different scopes getting the same numbers at some point.
Spiderman was an 8 out of 10 to the reviewer and that score made sense for it. This game also gets an 8 and the reviewer has stated why. I don't see an issue here.

One for the price-drop alerts. Glad it's looking good, might get to it if it drops enough in price by end of year or early next year.

Nice list. I plan to play some of these over the next few years. The backlog is real. Only one I'll probably get to this year is BG3 to see what all the fuss is about. Not usually my type of game but I watched a friend play a bit and I think it's worth a try.

Only played the other Spiderman games in the last 12 months so I might leave a bit more time before playing a 3rd so soon. Found MM to be very samey-samey.

I look forward to playing it in about 3 years time. Plenty to keep me occupied til then.

Would love to pick up BG3 but genuinely don't know when I'd have the time to play it. Have 2 big-ish games lined up to play over the Christmas break as it is. Would like to finish those before starting in to something as hefty as BG3. I think it will be a 2024 game for me at this stage.

I'd love to play it but horror/scary games just aren't my thing.

@Ainu20 Same. This year I got to play a few on other platforms but none on Playstation. Plan on tackling Baldurs Gate 3 in the new year sometime but that's too late for any GOTY chats sadly.

Day one purchase. I've never subscribed to PS Online but I might have to for this game alone.

Only interested in Tekken 8 to be honest. I've enough of a backlog to keep me going other than that.
Highly recommend Planet of Lana though for anyone who enjoyed Inside or Limbo.

You can't win. People love to complain. It was a great show. Any longer would have been too long. Let people talk for ages and people will complain the show is too long. Can't win.

I thought it was a great show.

I only got my PS5 a year ago and hadn't owned a Playstation since the OG back in the 90's. So the last 12 months has been me catching up on some Playstation classics:
Spiderman 1 + Miles Morales,
Uncharted Series,
God of War 2018,
Ratchet & Clank 2016.
It's been a good year.

Any new release exclusives I played this year were on Xbox and Switch. I plan to get to Baldurs Gate 3 early next year though. Could be a great game for playing on my Portal on the couch.

I've waited up other years (live in Ireland) but I'm not sure I will this year. Will just grab the headlines the next morning.

Ratchet & Clank 2016. About 75% through it. Enjoying it. Hoping to finish it this weekend. Not amazing but just good fun. Playing almost completely on Portal.

Gotta be my guy Hi Fi Rush.

@Titntin True. I think in future the best thing for me to do is not click on baity headlines.

@ChrisDeku I own all 3 platforms, love them all. But headlines like this just stir up console war crap in my opinion.

I absolutely love this device. Up until now I would often opt for the Switch version of games because of the portability, but the Portal works so well for me I think I'll be getting the PS version of games anymore.

Zelda gets my vote personally but whichever one of those 2 games win will be fully deserving. I don't think the other nominees realistically have a chance.

Roll on release day. My big dilemma now is do I buy it on Xbox where I can play online or on Playstation where I'll be able to play more often on Portal but only offline modes (I'm not paying for another subscription service).

@NinjaNicky What a terrible take on this. Well done on being Sony's favourite customer.

@NinjaNicky "don't buy digital".
What about all the people who own the PS5 Digital Only console?

"We all want one, but does it really make sense?"
Do we? Do we all want one? Because going by sales numbers of the Vita, no. We don't all want one.

Dam, would like to have trialed BG3 before buying. A demo for everyone would have been nice.

Zelda for me. But haven't played BG3 yet. Now I've got my Portal I might actually have the free time to dedicate to it
