@Bad-MuthaAdebisi me too to be honest, I'm fairly happy with the time I've spent with it though. Just gone back to Destiny 1 to tidy up loads of bits I haven't done yet. Might have a crack at some single players games too
Genuinely the only game I'm excited about with a release date at the moment. Enjoyed the last one and looks like they're improving on it this time round
I bought digital this time over physical and imagine a large chunk of destiny fans have to be honest. Also they'll be people waiting on the PC release. Regardless of sales, seems to have been received much better than Destiny 1 overall
17 main quests is fine, interspersed with strikes, side quests, raids, patrols etc. I'm personally hoping there is at least 30 hours of content before I start repeating stuff over (not that I mind grinding in Destiny). Suppose we'll find out soon.
@SMKpaladin I was never part of an active clan but using LFG I always found raid groups very quickly, I just watched them on youtube and then lied that I knew what I was doing and ended up being quite competent at them. In the later raids people weren't always asking for you to have certain weapons/armour etc.
Hopefully the new tools make it easier for everyone to raid though
Not sure if you wanted to know but I have spoken to Sony.
They say it's a PayPal issue, they are in talks with them at the moment to try and resolve. I cannot clear my balance on the account as others have expected. All I'm able to do is wait, for an estimated 7-10 business days until the matter is resolved.
EDIT: Whilst not at my PS4, it appears my account is not banned anymore as can log into website. Conflicting info here.
Looks like I'm the first one on this thread to have this issue. My account is banned after receiving the email. Frustrating but only because I'm worried my Crash preload won't unlock at midnight. I'll just play Zelda instead tonight
Reading the devs full quote, seems like a bit of a non story.
@RustyBullet @Rafie whilst someone could easily argue they prefer Xbox Exclusives, I think objectively Playstation have considerably out performed Xbox with exclusives. I'm not basing this off games that I enjoy, but just comparing lists.
@gmxs I can almost assure you that with the current tools in Destiny...matchmaking would be a bad experience for players.
I'm not against the idea, but it needs to be implemented correctly for it to give players a good experience. I don't believe we'll see a good implementation in Destiny (1).
I certainly won't be in a rush to buy many games new any more...partly due to the incredible price drops we've seen this holiday period, but also due to feeling like games are in a better state a month of so after launch.
Saying that...I actually rent games and it's only £11 a month so the big AAA titles don't really cost me much to play anyway.
This...Crash, Sonic Mania, Persona 5, Horizon, Mass Effect and South Park all potentially in the first half of next year! I feel like 2017 might be a good year for gaming
So after 8 hours of trying to play this "modern masterpiece" I decided to stop playing. I tried so hard to like it as the relationship between boy and Trico is special, but ultimately the gameplay was a big let down. I spent more times frustrated at the controls, camera and annoying AI than I did marveling at it's greatest moments.
The game looks great but runs terribly in most sections struggling to hit 30fps. This doesn't really bother me but was noticeable.
I'm glad some people have enjoyed it, but the gameplay just isn't good enough for me to consider this a masterpiece.
@NathanUC Over the last 2 days I've completed Crash 2 and mid way through Crash 3 and gameplay wise I personally think they hold up brilliantly. Some of the most fun gaming I've had in a while
I saw people speculating that as soon as the trailer dropped but I just can't see it to be honest. I'd probably be disappointed if they decided to go this route, considering the relationship between the 2 characters is what I loved about the game. The more I think about it, the more I dislike the idea actually.
I've got it preordered but I think I'm fortunate that I don't really have the same "10 year" expectation others have. I'm pretty sure it'll be a decent game with a beautiful world so looking forward to it
I hope others can calm their expectations a little
Good review and more proof that actually reading them rather than just looking at scores is essential. I'd only play it for the campaign and it sounds like that alone is quite good.
Not that I was expecting it to blow me away, but that's done nothing for me at all. Felt the same about the RDR2 trailer to be fair. The trailer won't impact whether I end up getting the game though.

Re: Destiny 2 Is Down For Maintenance at Prime Playing Hours Yet Again In Europe
According to reddit nobody is playing it anyway haha
Hopefully Destiny 1 isn't down too as got back into that recently

Re: PS4 Firmware 5.0 Features Leaked Ahead of Beta Testing
Pretty boring for a big numbered patch but as someone has pointed....it still plays my games so no complaints
Re: No Man's Sky Patch 1.3 Discovers New Story Content and Fast Travel Portals
When they finally finish the game I will probably jump in and play this....it's just another example of how waiting for some games really pays off.
Re: Destiny 2's Beta Pre-Load Goes Live Today on PS4
@xX_RiscazZ_Xx I'm up for strike too when it goes live!!! Can't wait to get back to Destiny

Re: E3 2017: The Witcher 3 Will Get Xbox One X Support, Despite Dev's Stance on PS4 Pro
Replaying on my OG ps4 at the moment and perfectly happy with it
Re: Activision Teases Special Crash Bandicoot Reveal for E3 2017
I really hope CTR doesn't get remastered. I'd much prefer a new Crash Team racer that just featured some old maps
Re: PS4's Days Gone Will Be at E3 2017 in a Big Way
Something about this just has 7/10 written all over it.
Re: Here's More Crash Bandicoot PS4 Gameplay to Send You Spinning
Can't wait to play it. I'm not too fussed about subtle differences as long as it plays well
Re: Darksiders III Completely Leaked, Open World with a Magical Main Character
It's a series I'm partly interested in but also hugely put off by the horrible art style (opinion)
Re: Guide: Persona 5 Difficulty Settings - What Does the Difficulty Level Change?
@ShogunRok Sorry I should have spotted that! It was early in the morning and I was barely awake Thanks!
Re: Guide: Persona 5 Difficulty Settings - What Does the Difficulty Level Change?
Can you confirm if I start on normal, can I change to easy if it gets to hard?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 155
@Hego The Division I started a week or so ago. Ni No Kuni I started this weekend and it's awesome. Just got to complete before Mass Effect.
Portal 2 was just trying out the coop with a friend, and DmC is my friends favourite game so was having a go
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 155
So far I've played The Division, Devil May Cry, Ni No Kuni and Portal 2....
Re: Activision Confirms What We Already Know, Full Destiny Sequel Coming This Year
Ooo can't wait to see what changes have been made from the first game. I've loved the last few expansions.
@Tasuki pretty sure everyone misunderstood the 10 year thing. I don't think they ever said that Destiny 1 will exist for 10 years without a sequel.

Choooo choooo...all aboard the hype train hoping it's a pretty meaty expansion.
Re: Destiny's Next Big Update Is Due In Spring
@gmxs That's what I'm hoping for Destiny 2...give the players the tools to find a team within the game itself

Re: PSX 2016: Crash Bandicoot PS4 Trilogy Considered a "AAA Remaster" by Dev
@belmont It's on US PSN for $40 which means it's likely to be £30-£35...not sure how that relates to the euro nowadays!
Re: Could PaRappa the Rapper Be About to Spit into PSX 2016?
Probably the most over rated game on playstation. Can't quite believe people actually want another one.
Re: Mass Effect Developer Says Andromeda's Wonky Facial Animations Aren't Final
I really don't see this game coming out in Spring. I'm expecting a July/Aug release date.
Re: We May See More of Death Stranding at the PlayStation Experience
Not sure I can really excited for something that I know nothing about. Interested to see what on earth this game is about though
Re: Rumour: December PS Plus PS4 Games Leaked on PlayStation Store
Both came out in April 2016...maybe just a coincidence but would be a pretty easy fake to make.

Re: Destiny 2 May Slide and Shotgun into the PlayStation Experience Next Month
@xX_RiscazZ_Xx I'd be inclined to agree with you, they should bring back the old raids now they're not bringing any more expansions out.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 4.06 Improves the Quality of Your Console
"We're not entirely sure what that means, but okay."....for some reason this made me chuckle
Re: Review: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (PS4)
Good review and more proof that actually reading them rather than just looking at scores is essential. I'd only play it for the campaign and it sounds like that alone is quite good.
Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda Finally Gets a Proper Trailer
Well that was a bit....meh.
Not that I was expecting it to blow me away, but that's done nothing for me at all. Felt the same about the RDR2 trailer to be fair. The trailer won't impact whether I end up getting the game though.
Re: Soapbox: Skyrim Still Has Plenty to Offer Five Years On

Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2016

All entitled to our opinions though
