@Integrity this is unfair. George is 73 now, so retirement age when GOT was in its latter stages. He was prolific as a youngster.

Anyone saying 'iTs NoT tHaT hArD' is insane.

I love housemarque games and Returnal is by far the most difficult. Biome 3 and that's it for me.

In many ways I wish it wasn't a rogue like as in forums they talk about weapons and abilities I haven't seen on my runs.

@KundaliniRising333 most people aren't good enough to play elite sports. I for instance have a 50p foot and constantly need lucozade sport just to get off the couch. Let alone play for the mighty Accrington Stanley. Who are they I hear you foreigners say? Exactly.

@FullMetalWesker much better comparison thanks Wesker.

@LiamCroft 'Yeah, it is a bit dodgy that a game that technically hasn't been released yet is leading, but maybe, just maybe, people are simply voting for what they enjoy.'

But how do you know you enjoy it, if you haven't played it?

Come on this is crazy talk. I know it's the 21st century and anything goes. But just imagine an Oscar going to Prometheus pre release as it was set in the Alien franchise. See, crazy.

@AdamNovice is right. A game which hasn't been released shouldn't be included. Maybe in the most exciting prospect category or something. But this just stinks. Especially when full on boss games which have released are getting jibbed.

Warranty = 6 months

Nope, not for me.

@Anti-Matter next level stuff Anti-Matter. Why not go a bit harder and try some Cites skylines?

@Dreman99 it came out last year

Bring us Astrobot 3 please Geoff. It's the threequel the world needs. Astro Vs Omicron in new VR. Come on Astro we got this bro!

@lolwhatno Fortnite is great, go and have a go. You have battle royale, 4 player teams, building, quests, mechs, adrenaline fuelled action and great performance. It's just really difficult to manage the mechanics compared to youngsters who've grown up with it. It's not my favourite game but then again RL tickles that pickle if I need it.

@nessisonett it's true. I have a hybrid now and after driving the Audi A5, Merc C220 and Golf GTD (not to forget my Toyota Yaris and Mini Metro) my supposedly worse Toyota Corolla GR Sport hybrid goes 0-40 in no time at all. Well quicker acceleration. It struggles after 50 mph but other than on the motorway when the A5 and C220 are way better, it my favourite car driving through Liverpool.

Bought a mega big oled, ready for fresh 120hz HDR 4k gaming.

For the umpteenth generation sits playing ridge Racer type 4.

How about making a good game first?

Played this game 6 months ago and had a great time. Bugs have been ironed out and I enjoyed the game, it can be repetitive but that's the pseudo genre its in - like a trimmed dynasty warriors. Surprised I enjoyed it so much.

Oooh sweet. Hopefully this is the first of many musician tie ins and they decide to make a Right Said Fred tribute with @ShogunRok as the centrepiece.

I've got games coming out of my bum so plumped for a throwaway game called Access Denied as it looked like one of my all time faves 'Statik'.

What a random game, not on the same level as Statik but a similar premise so got my £2 worth.

GTA V is gone but not forgotten. Like many things which previously sat in a chart for ages like the Simpsons, Wet wet wet and Hungry Hippos. Always nice to play once in a while until you realise how bad they are now.

Launch with 20 fighters and a hidden extra character for finishing the game and we are dandy. Anything less and it's not good enough Imo. Also 20 stages and some extras as well please. Throw in some classic stages.

@twitchtvpat it was a while ago. Maybe 2 years ago? I dunno but it was around £25.

I bought Tekken and the first and second season passes were included with the game in a Sony store sale. It was about £25 if memory serves me right.

It was enjoyable and the gameplay is still great. But that price is ridiculous.

I love trophies/achievements but once I jibbed the 360 for the PS4, I wasn't as bothered.

To keep up with everyone else I just look for a game with easy trophies. Like Jack n Jill DX and Adventure on the prairie. And I do love a bit of Mayo. Apparently it's getting a sequel. Nice.

I would rather buy;

LG C1: £1200
PS5: £500
Spare Dualsense: £60
Controller charger: £20
Streets of Rage 4: £20
Infinity Saga Collectors edition: £400
Pair of Nike Air Max 90: £100
Hugo Boss Aftershave: £30
Marks and Spencer Cake Hamper: £50
Domino's: £20

And still have a grand left over.

@lolwhatno yup, but that's kind of expected with the more casual crew. I don't help though pmsl.

@lolwhatno OGs for life. Old Gamers right?

High five!

We've got Pushsquare. The king is dead, long live the king's : Sammy, Rob, Stephen, Liam and all you dirty lot in the comments.

Terrible year for games. I've seen comments saying there have been good but not great games. Y'all need to play some of the games from last gen and wake up. Mass Effect remaster and the 4k versions of older games are way better than that top 5 combined. This year has had possibly 2 good games for the whole year.

The two biggest for me were Returnal and Disco Elysium. Both big let downs. Returnals okay, but veers too wacky and has some strange progression mechanics. It's frustrating rather than fun and I much prefer Nex Machina due to the camera position. Then Disco Elysium is again overrated to a ridiculous degree, it's new, novel and the writing is great. Wrapped in a monkey island style gameplay loop which went out of fashion on the Amiga. Slow, cumbersome with laggy controls and the game soft locked me due to gated progression. Appalling.

I've had more fun with Monster Hunter and Borderlands 2 than anything released this year outside of mass effect. Dire.

@Telekill agreed ME remaster was an absolute joy to play. My GOTY for sure.

How come we are getting a GOTY in November?

@colonelkilgore I don't think so. It's a looter shooter not dissimilar to diablo for its loot. Destiny is a kind of 2nd cousin removed. Worth having a mooch one night in SP and then we can get together for an online game in a couple of weeks.

I've been eyeing up the handsome collection we got on ps plus if anyone is down for a few goes?

I got quite far in BL1, put it down for some reason - I think my online and also unemployed att mates on the 360 ran too far ahead of me. Enjoyed it nonetheless. So yeah if anyone fancies running BL2 give me a shout/poke/friend request.

Sackboy a big adventure.

With the Italian plumber strapped across the box it would by a goty contender. As it stands I absolutely loved it!

Astrobot is obviously Astrobot so it's fuppin fire. And then I had a difficult choice. Nothing scratches my itches so far and Returnal is good but not amazing, Disco Elysium has soft locked me. So yeah not overly happy giving either of them a tick. So plumped for FFV7, free upgrade woop woop.

Now get us some more games Sony. Fed up with watching Xbox bringing the fire whilst we are fed scraps. 2022 can't come soon enough.

We all love new IPs. But honestly, I would sell my nan for the Order 1887.

Im in total disagreement. I hate the nurburgring, I can never remember the layout as it's bigger than my old Geography teacher who had bingo wings and bad BO. Missed a trophy because of that monstrosity. Both in my GCSEs and On PS4.

Kicked em right in the Gaas.

Absolutely disgusting. Our world is coming to an end and all we can think of is flying over electronics?

On second thoughts I need one for upstairs so get them over quickly.

Great month but I'm really unimpressed by the online, online, online games we keep getting. They are simply not for me anymore. I think they should ditch these mainly online games unless they do it in combination with others. Like this month

With all these games. PlayStation is the place to be.

If you are ten years old.

The walking dead is awesome!!! Brilliant, getting played next week for sure.

But I'm bored of all these online games Sony. Being a SP gamer at heart and Rocket League if I need it, I never even try them.

Im not alone by the looks of things.

I've got a really weird feeling about the next state of play. Really weird.

I'm thinking we will be getting a brand new game which will be downloadable until January. And do you know what game that is?

You know what game it is. The Last of Us multiplayer game by the old treyarch team Sony signed up a couple of years ago

Everyone has fair points so far, quite an enjoyable comments section. My two pence;

Sony are using staff to develop these ports when we are crying out for PS5 stuff. I think that's fair and I want more games!

What's the point in buying into an ecosystem if it's games are being built towards the lowest common denominator - In this instance, low end PCs?

Is this PC centric direction because of Chinas appetite for PC gaming? And loads of Chinese companies are about to bring crazy good PC games out? They hardly have a console market to speak of. I think this is the most reasonable hypothesis. Sony and Microsoft are trying to cater to a new group of gamers brought into gaming through MMOs and mobile crap. Whoopee the golden age is behind us people.

Sod it. PS5 will be my last console. I'm taking up going outside and gardening.

@3MonthBeef good question, it's because the Japanese live in a very structured society and for the vast majority their limited spare time is significantly larger in their youth. This works in two ways, games are marketed at that younger audience and the older gamers get nostalgia from when they had the world at their feet.

It does my head in so you're not alone.

Planet coaster PS5 and Medievil PS4 please Sony

Most addictive game ever. And not in a good way.

We don't want those filthy casuals. Get back to candy crush scum bags.

@Bingbongboyo @tomassi I've got love for you if you were born in the 80s.

It must be Magicland Dizzy 2!!!

@Th3solution With subscription services, add ons are a HARD sell. PPV was a big sucked punch when cable/sky started dominating here in the uk as you start expecting everything for free. Exactly the same is happening with GP.

Sorry but the Yakuza team release games far too quickly.

I'm a big fan of Yakuza zero and then every game since has been practically the same with some minigames and characters replaced. Quality over quantity especially if you want me to play like the 20th game set in the same space.

As an amateur boxer and fan of the sport, this looks brilliant. Hoping for a great fight on Saturday, Deontay will have a better shot this time and Fury will be, well Tyson fury. Would like to see how Deontay / Fury does against Ruiz next too. Then possibly a unification match in the Ukraine

I can't believe people are looking at Balan Wonderland. One of the worst games ever made.

I thought it can't be bad for £15 in Smyth's. I was way wrong, it's so boring, the controls suck and it's worse than watching EastEnders. Bad design, terrible story and the pathetic characters.
