@PsBoxSwitchOwner Exactly, I want to know I can finish and get everything out of a game without having to wait and see if anything else gets added to make me reinstall (or buy again if I've got rid of a physical copy)
Loved Ghostwire: Tokyo when it was on Plus before, will likely go back in for the platinum. The first Hot Wheels Unleashed was great, have been tempted to bite on the second so glad I resisted.
Bioware should be pumping out 9s and 10s given what they were doing even 15 years ago. Glad to hear they're back on form though, will see how they've done for myself later this week.
I've recently started playing, and it's an ok experience so far. I love Star Wars and can look past many things to be in that world, but I really don't know if I like the game after 15 hours.
Paid £20 for the complete edition on PS4, got the platinum, it was fun but it's not worth me paying any more to play it again. Does seem like they've done a lot of work to bring this up to more recent standards, but was it really needed at all? I'd argue no, but for a £10 fee it's better than reselling a game in it's entirety for full price cough*Until Dawn*cough
I am also a Transformers fan (if the profile pic wasn't a giveaway) and this has been on my radar, but a lot of games competing for my time and this is very expensive for what it seemingly amounts to.
Fingers crossed Reactivate is decent, and gets a PS5 release, if and indeed when it eventually reaches us.
This doesn't surprise me at all, had a mare trying to get a simple controller from them earlier this year, 2 orders cancelled immediately, one that should have been received, then when questioned why it didn't show another was 'sent' for next day delivery, then cancelled. Ended with a conversation with a manager and a £30 gift card. Won't order anything from them any more, only buy if I'm in store and know they've got it.
Love Atlus games, not a fan of their release practices, with the 'enhanced editions' normally not too far behind. I still couldn't help myself though, and I hate myself for it, but I'm loving it so far.
I can see why they've made the decision to remove them. It should be an option, but when you have a vocal minority saying "we won't play a game with spiders in" then it's not a big leap to remove them because you want their money as well, plus it's not as if people who don't have arachnophobia are saying "we won't buy the game if it DOESN'T have spiders".
Personally it makes no difference to my enjoyment of a game, but as I said, it should be an option. You don't order a burger as is and complain if there's cheese, you just request for it not to be there on your specific burger, so as not to impact others' experience or enjoyment.
Persona 3 Reload isn't in this sale, that price is just from the last sale ending today. The deluxe edition is, but not the standard or premium editions.
Went for a teal controller, no plates as I've only got the original model, pity it's not coming until January (no idea why, but I'll likely forget I ordered it by then and it'll be a nice surprise)
I don't want (or more accurately don't need) the Pro, I just want to see if I can nab a Portal, but if not I'll settle for modding my existing one. Wish they could filter it by what you want to order, so the queues can be more specific to the popularity of the item.
GoT was epic, GoY will be just as epic, if not more so. The quality of the game itself will speak loud enough when it releases, and I absolutely cannot wait.
@windxtravelerx performance has been great for me, I play on quality and as much as it's not maintaining the high framerate it's absolutely not unplayable. From what I've spent in performance mode it's smoother and still looks fine, I just really like the lighting in quality mode.
I'd go with an 8, it's a great time and is still bringing me back, but I wish the campaign was longer and I have no interest in PVP so that doesn't give it any bonus points from me. Can't argue with the quality of what's there though.
Probably wouldn't have played Plucky Squire otherwise, but as it's on Extra I'll give it a go. I try and at least put some time into all of them that might interest me, but there's not a lot jumping out at me this month.
Just finished the Space Marine 2 campaign so going to jump into some of the multiplayer, and inevitably continue my NG+ run of Elden Ring, just beat Radahn so off to Nokron.
I never really put much time into Motorfest (apart from a bit with the trial version), loved The Crew 2 but long since finished with it, perhaps with such positivity from people and a massive update it's time to dive in.
@J2theEzzo i was running strength/faith myself and he was a complete brick wall for me, couldn't get through so had to respec, but more power to you if you can manage to get through with that build.
I had to resort to a cheese shield'n'poke build first time round, just to get through it. On NG+ in the base game now so will see if it makes a difference when I get back there, but that won't be for a while.
I love this live service article, with all the comments it's a constantly evolving landscape and will keep us all coming back for more. How do I sign up for the battle pass?
@vrubayka Agreed, I'm all for AI making the everyday jobs easier, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for creativity and expression. It worries me already that I can't tell if something's AI or not in some cases.
It seems to me we need video game devs & publishers who respect the art of voice acting (and much more besides) and the people who make it more than they want to take the easy route and save a pretty penny. Business eh, this is going to create an even larger rift between those with integrity and those with an eye solely for money.
@ShogunRok Agreed on the music, it's one of a few games I've actually got the soundtrack from a few games ago (Accent Core Plus I think) on CD and still give it a listen every now and then.
@Elodin @AFCC bought it at launch, got rid a few days later. The combat is great, and the feel of the 3 different character 'modes' is cool, but it's very much a typical mid-range RPG that, personally, is still too expensive for what you get. It's also exceptionally short with little to no replay value.

@Shwing I know, how could the creators of item scarcity & panic-buying know people would be panic-buying because of the scarcity of the items?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?
@windxtravelerx I'm normally the same, performance mode is a must unless it's slower paced and I've not felt the need to switch back at all for this
