Thought that was official promo art for the event at first. Nice, I thought.

@nessisonett to be fair though I have threatened to murder like 8 people since lunch

Just don’t think I am going to have time to play it right now, and with Baldurs Gate 3 on the horizon I might put it on ice until nearer Christmas.

But, you know. I could also end up getting it day one 😂

@KingPev haha sorry yes, that wouldn’t make sense to you now that I think about it. Let me explain, so, in my house, “a pack of Doritos” is slang for “my pants”. I use different flavours depending on when I last showered. Cool original, tangy cheese, etc.

@KingPev I know, I only said it to try to sound cool to be fair. Curtains closed with my hand inside a pack of Doritos until Tuesday is the reality.

@KaijuKaiser 14 hours a day Saturday, Sunday x 2 and 4 hours per day in the week for 10 days, boom.

Another bank holiday huh 👍🏻

I’ve been up since 5, bike ride done and dusted and now I am a bit knackered. Probably go back to bed for a bit and hopefully play some Zelda later on. Enjoying it but not exactly “into it” as struggling to find time for extended sessions. Would like to grab a beer outside at some point since the sun in shining. Have a good one!

@practicein2021 “Naughty Dog released a small multiplayer game as expansion to their popular single player game. It seemed like an afterthought, just a bonus - but people were playing it for 10 years! Without any patches, updates, skins - just because of gameplay. And when new multiplayer game was announced, everyone got excited, even though the studio showed us nothing.”

Without being too cynical, that’s probably the issue - they need to be able to effectively monetise it, not just have a dedicated pool play it for years for free. And there are so many competing alternatives these days, not so when Factions was a thing.

@ShogunRok (Especially when you consider some of the sh*t they let slide in this weeks showcase)

@ShogunRok that… actually is the most sense you’ve ever made.

@ShogunRok well that’s what I mean, almost obligated to listen to them aren’t they.

Makes a lot of sense, like I said Bungie have experience. Probably saved Sony money and a headache in the long run.

That’s interesting.

Hard to say mismanagement etc, since deciding it’s not working out and stopping is sometimes good management. As good as ND are with single player games, and despite best intentions, live service games seem like a different beast and Sony should absolutely be taking onboard Bungies input as they have been rolling around in the mud for 10 years now.

It’s how we avoid more Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‘s, really.

They probably had this written months ago.

I jest, leave ‘em alone.

@Eh-Locke I'll be there day one!

@nessisonett The disc spins up quite loudly for a second or two before random battles on the Dreamcast version, if you pop the hood the battle doesn't start - did that a lot lol.

@nessisonett GameCube? Oh, you mean Dreamcast

@Neverwild i fu*king HATE great games, mate.

Yeah, I mean, the positive responses must have been from those who enjoyed the surprise announcements for all the games coming to their Xboxes.

Moons, give me strength!

@themcnoisy you also shouldn’t be at work at 7:30pm

@Ralizah I hear you, although it is really hard to deny how good GZ and PP feel to play in fairness.

As for Dragons Dogma 2, I have tried the first game three times for several hours and I find it sooo boring. But I hear so much good stuff about it. I’d try the second.

I’m totally cold on the MGS announcements. I don’t know what it is, maybe I have just played them too much.

Having access to the originals on PS5 is cool, to be fair, as I still would like to be able to play them from time to time. But really these games should be available by default along with the many other PS1 & 2 classics by now, it shouldn’t really be a huge deal.

As for MGS3 remake, I get some people call it the best but for me it didn’t really live up to the hype at the time. Some annoying systems, story was a bit meh, the (mostly) awful bosses. I guess they’ll polish up and streamline the gameplay but I could really take it or leave it as things stand. Would like to see some gameplay.

Forgot to watch it. So did I win?

@naruball you would be surprised tbh, a few people I have spoken to even in more recent years think they have to have played the other ones.

Errmmmmm… I guess it makes sense to be fair at this point. I’d prefer not, but there are so many spin offs already and online versions that shouldn’t really be numbered they might as well just drop the numbering at this point.

I think non-numbered Final Fantasy games probably don’t get as much attention, though. So basically, they will do it when there is more to to gain financially. Which might be a while, since people get so hype about a new numbered entry.

Hey, would be nice to hear about this rumoured FF9 remake I guess. I kind of hate to say remakes/sequels, woo, though.

To be honest, not very. It’ll take more than Spider-Man and Last of Us online to light a fire under my ass. Let’s see though!

Not great, is it

I’m playing Zelda when I can, I don’t have huge chunks of time to dedicate to it right now which is a bit of a problem as I just end up running around collecting things for an hour - ideally I need to sink 8 hours into it in one go to really get going! I’ll try to get through the easy to find shrines to get my hearts and stamina up as much as I can.

@ShogunRok exactly, though I could never quite nail Daggers lines during that section where she’s mute.

It was something like dot dot dot dot dot. Or dot dot dot dot dot dot. Or dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot.

Haha. Spank me silly.

Hmm I think the best voice acting so far was probably in FF9, and everything before.

Yeah it's too early to judge my popularity too. Really hoping to hit my stride in my 40's. #optimistic.

Very nice

@MasterEMFG fair, Ultima Online was one of my picks!

@Daleaf Yeah I hear you, I dunno - don't really want to make a fuss or get compensated, just wanted the game on Friday lol.

@RainbowGazelle That's what I expected tbh, I figured they just got the dispatch email out late but the game itself would have been shipped for delivery that day. I've had them turn up an hour after the dispatch email before. Happy to put it down to Royal Mail, but doesn't change the fact TGC will be getting the game sent back in this case.

@Wheatly yeah understood, and they have been good in the past, although I didn’t get a dispatch email until 1-2pm on launch day so did they even get it out the day before?

I do actually have it twice now as the physical copy turned up today but I already bought digital, so back it goes. Pretty sure that'll put Hogwarts back on top.

Bit of a let down by The Game Collection not getting it to me on Friday. Not the end of the world, but when you're competing against digital you have to get pre-orders delivered on launch day.

@CthulhuFhtagn ZZZZHHHHHHEEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLDDDDUUUUUEEERRRRRRRRRR

Zeeeeeeelllddaaaaaaaarrrr

Zeldddaaaaaaa

I genuinely wondered how you’d turn this in to a poll considering there is in reality only one option, the PS1, but somehow you guys really managed it…hats off.

Someone on here said Bloodborne remake to launch PS6. At first I thought nah but actually it might make sense, enough time would have passed, similar to Demon Souls for sure. Otherwise to be released in conjunction with PS5 Pro? Perhaps too soon, but a strong possibility. I think it’s a given at some point though, hence it’s been shown no love at all with no upscaling/60fps patch, etc.

fukked? 🤷‍♂️

Lol that clock is completely fu*ked.

@OrtadragoonX why, thank you! Although, fortunately for us all, there are countless more intelligent folk here who make much more meaningful contributions!

Probably all those extra sales from Mortal Kombat owners

@OrtadragoonX Well, celebrate this and maybe in the future you'll get what you want.

@AdamNovice I know, some of this reads like a Daily Mail comments section. I think everyone forgot what their hobby is lol
