Oops, I’d forgotten about Get Even. Bought it upon it’s release and played a good few hours of it. Really enjoyed it but I think I’ll have to do a restart to get back into it’s story. Anyway, better finish it before Chernobylite comes out because I’ll probably buy this too.
@get2sammyb Hey, Sammy, any idea of the length of game you can create? I suppose it depends on how many elements are involved, but say for a single player, linear-ish campaign?
I’m not that bothered by these early reveals, Liam, but I completely understand your point of view. After all, as far as I’m aware, being a journalist for this site is your bread and butter, so this industry is far more present in your daily life. These early reveals take away the ‘whole-package experience’ from the actual event. It’s like having plot spoilers before seeing a movie, or a tv show, or reading a book. The entertainment event has a beginning, middle and end, but knowing significant bits of it beforehand will lessen the impact.
Really like The Darksiders games, so looking forward to playing this and whippin’ my way around this colourful, fantasy world with my fabulously flowing cerise hairdo!! 🤩
Nice review, Rebecca! I bought this the other day and had about an hour’s go on it this morning, just to see what it was like. Colour me impressed, although the crafting elements seemed a bit overwhelming, but from your review it sounds like I could just go exploring and brave the natives before worrying about base building.
Seems like an odd stipulation, SIEE only allowing themes that are representative of games 🤯 As long as the available themes on the store don’t have inappropriate imagery, I would have thought they’d be absolutely fine 🤷🏻♂️
Completely agree with this article and others’ comments! It may seem like ‘little things’, but life is made up of little things, things that can make a difference either way. A nice, solid structure like a house? That’s made up of little important things called bricks 🧱
Edit: Also, the back arrow of the ps store app rarely works, which is a bit frustrating...
@spakai I really liked Beyond: Two Souls. Haven’t played the other 2 though, so I can’t comment on them. Is this a good crop of games for you this month? It’s great when a game you like becomes available on ps plus, but it’s a bit of a poop when you’ve already got it...even worse if you’ve just bought it! But that’s the nature of the beast, I guess 🤷🏻♂️
“Day-ra-sin-ay”, apparently. If it’s French, which I’m pretty sure it is, it means ‘uprooted’.....courtesy of Google translate.
Anyhoo, looking forward to Push Square’s review, and I’m sure I’ll be purchasing this.
@Gmork___ Yep, it all sounds good to me, glad you’re enjoying it.
Happily discovered it’s only £34.95 on coolshop https://www.coolshop.co.uk/product/call-of-cthulhu/AD4FP2/
I’m trying to be a bit more self disciplined when it comes to buying new releases, because my backlog is huge, but I also like to show my support and appreciation for the developer’s efforts.
I could wait, as I imagine CoC will probably come down in price quite quickly, but I reckon I’ll succumb to the urge to buy it.
@jdv95 Don’t know about yourself, but I can always chuck an extra 4 to 6 hours on top of a reviewer’s stated play time...particularly with these sort of games.
I think that trailer may be tonally different to reflect the fact Fallout 76 isn’t a traditional Fallout experience. I won’t be buying the game myself, but I think it’ll sell quite well...just maybe not as well as Bethesda hopes.
The first rule of PlayStation DevCon 2018 is: You do not talk about PlayStation DevCon 2018. The second rule of PlayStation DevCon 2018 is: You do not talk about PlayStation DevCon 2018. Third rule of PlayStation DevCon 2018: Someone yells "Nextgen!", goes limp, taps out, the conference is over. Fourth rule: Only two guys to a PS5.
@RoyalGuard You’re welcome, let me know what you think! Normally, I wouldn’t watch something like this because of spoilers, but my takeaway is that the atmosphere and story intrigue appear to be top notch, but the character animations look a bit janky plus some of the character models appear to be repeated. I’m sure at least 2 or 3 characters that were stood in a group together all looked the same. The audio ambience seemed a bit lacking too. BUT, I am still super excited for this game and will definitely be buying it.
@ellsworth004 I’ve got my eye on that one too, and The Forest currently sits at 83% on Metacritic - https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-forest I’m also keen on Darksiders 3, Déraciné and The Quiet Man, but these as well as The Forest won’t probably get a look in until next year.
@jFug Fear not, my intrepid fellow, for I too have great interest in experiencing the eldritch delights and infernal geometry of these monstrosities of eternal loathing.....🐙

@get2sammyb Awesome, thx. Just lots and lots and lots of trial and error then, to see what can be achieved.

Re: Borderlands 2 VR Gets the Live Action Commercial Treatment
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Oo, I hope you’ll like it! It’s got a great tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, and the shoot+loot loop is great fun 👍
Re: Borderlands 2 VR Gets the Live Action Commercial Treatment
Good commercial! Absolutely buying this 👍
Sammy, do you know if this uses the AIM peripheral?
Edit - no worries, Sammy, I did my research and found it doesn’t 😔. Maybe they’ll patch it in later, if that’s easy enough to do.
