Anything that doesn't involve budgety, empty online only games. Cough *Operation Tango, Hunters Arena, Knockout City, First Class Trouble, Predator etc etc etc *cough

I'll probably check this out when it's sub £15 in a year or so. I have literally ALL the other AC games to try and grind through first and that's a chore unto itself really.

Death by a thousand cuts for Sony at the moment isn't it. What next I wonder?

@get2sammyb any news on why GTA III is streaming only on PS Now? If you can't download it, that's going to go down as well as Godfall and Mortal Shell, if not worse!

Not my type of game particularly so not overly bothered, but it is a pretty s****y move by Sony regardless. I don't know much about the game though, can I play this 'end-game' stuff by myself or is it online co-op only? If so, I won't even bother trying it to be honest.

I tried to create something back when Dreams came out but it was so convoluted and fiddly that I gave up after 5 minutes. I looked at others creations and 99% of them are just plain bad. I've barely been on Dreams since, bar the recent Halloween game which was nice.

I may now revisit it if it's easier to make things with these templates, as the idea of Dreams I really like, it was just the reality (or more my lack of skill) that I didn't like!

@TheRedComet sadly I think the numbers in which these broken games sell suggests 'we' aren't sick of it. Why anyone would want to buy a game for £55 when they know full well they can buy it for less than half that in a years time is beyond me but each to their own I guess.

Only game on there that I'd consider, and only because it's so cheap, is Jurassic World Evolution for a fiver. Anyone recommend that, or is still a waste of money even for that?

@Northern_munkey I have NMS and love the idea of it until I start playing and then get bored after 30 mins!

I've been playing Firewatch last couple of days, that's a decent chilled game so far!

I can't play survival games, they're too stressful. I like to chill when gaming, not get all jumpy and what not. Same reason I can't play horror games as well.

Lonely Mountains Downhill is awesome! Very hard in places though it has to be said!

@Stocksy I know right?! How is it even a scandal (other than the fact he was married)? Man and Woman consensually text each other rude stuff. Why was he even apologising. It's embarrassing for him and his wife, but shouldn't be a huge story IMO.

Great, now we get to watch and listen to a load of pretentious nonsense rather than just play it.

@Bleachedsmiles if you would have told me that as well I would have been amazed. Unfortunately the reality is, for me at least, it's just too damn fiddly to make anything worthwhile. Obviously that's not the case for countless other people but I've tried and failed and never gone back to it.

Besides, most of the content in it is a 'try for 2 minutes and forget about it' kind of thing anyway IMO.

@hypnotoad if you search PS5 on Tesco website it will bring up the games. Both R&C and FC6 state the price with or without clubcard. Also, AC Valhalla is £22, Sackboy is £30 and, crazily seeing as it only came out a couple of weeks ago, Riders Republic is £29!

@Postie85 I flick between PES and FIFA generally. I've really enjoyed the gameplay in FIFA 22 on PS5.

£780 for 4TB extra storage?!! That's nearly twice as much as the PS5 itself! Knock about 75% off that price at least, and I'll think about it!

@huyi nah, will be a year at most I reckon. Especially with the way these have been panned in the media. The PS2 ones recently withdrawn from the store were always about £15 for the trilogy in sales, so these will be eventually.

I never buy games, even the big AAA's, until they are under £20 as I can wait. I'm not that bothered getting stuff day one as there are millions of other games out there.

This is great and all, but I can't see it's possible to exercise that well with that massive PSVR stuck on your head. Even more so because it's not wireless.

Will definitely buy them, but someways down the line when they are sub £20.

I'm glad GTA3 is coming to PS Now next month. I can at least try that and see what I think before buying them. If I like the look and feel of it then I will probably purchase them although it will likely be further down the line when they're half the price.

Some great music missing from these games now so if I bought them now it would be too fresh in my memory and would bug me. If I get them in a year or so hopefully I will have forgotten by then!

@Saucymonk You're either young or have no taste in music because there are some amazing songs that have been cut from these games. I suggest you give them a listen and broaden your musical horizons.

I have a hacked PS4 which is gathering dust under my bed. Can't be bothered with the faff to be honest. I have a PS5 but would have no real desire to hack it as that generally means you can't use it online.

I fear the worst, certainly with regards soundtracks. There has to be a reason it's not been mentioned, as Rockstar surely know how important it is to these games. It would have been mentioned in the schpiel, or those trailers.

Be ready for disappointment people. I'm still kind of excited about these though. Not £55 excited, but probably more £25-30 excited sometime down the line.

What did I play? Hmmm.

Bit of FIFA.
Bit of Dreams
Bit of eFootball (and realised again why I keep uninstalling it)
Bit of Lonely Mountains Downhill
Bit of Mafia remake

GTA 3 is my least favourite of the trilogy so bit gutted that's the one we get on Now. On the plus side, at least I can play that and then buy the other two individually at a lower cost in the future!

The thing that is frustrating is, the gameplay itself (more so after todays patch) isn't horrendous. I could certainly try and get used to it over time. The REAL frustrating and, frankly, baffling element to this is they are still persisting with 9 teams and 5 minute matches in offline mode. That was fine for a week or two, but to expect people to continue with that until now Spring 2022 is ridiculous. If they just opened up the full game it would certainly make me play it rather than delete it which I;ll end up doing out of boredom. Even if the game was brilliant, that lack of choice would still make it dull after a short while.

Not in to online gaming. If there was a decent offline or local mode I may have given it a crack with my kids but as there isn't (or I couldn't find one) I swiftly deleted it, never to be seen again. Same with that Among Us clone we got last week.

Why can't we have single player games on Plus? All we ever seem to get now are these online ones?

For the life of me I still can't understand why they are persisting with the 9 teams, 5 minute game version? What's point? Just release all the teams already? I'd happily play it and try it out more than I did if I could play as different teams and for 10 minutes.

Just bought the Mafia Trilogy the other day for about £25, so typical one of them was hitting this straight after!

@lolwhatno well, if I actually knew who he was I'd decide what team to join, but I honestly have no idea!

Are Sid James and Kenneth Williams in it?

Well, technically speaking, GTA V is the best but my favourite is Vice City. Whether that's nostalgia talking I'll find out once the trilogy is in a sale in a years time!

I don't know who Greg Miller is. Should I?

I enjoyed the demo enough but did come away from it thinking this is basically Steep but they've added mountain biking as well. Are there any other events exclusive to this that aren't in Steep? If not, I'd rather just play Steep (unless this turns up on Plus or Now at some point).

Poor selection IMO.

Knockout City is average.
The Among Us clone, no thanks.
The Knight game looks as old as it is.
Don't own PSVR so couldn't care less about those games.

I always seem to buy these games (on big discounts to be fair) but never get over halfway before getting bored. I currently have Black Flag, Unity, Syndicate, Origins and Odyssey in my backlog. All started, none finished!

Meh. Don't have VR so can't make use of those games. Not interested in the Among Us rip off, the Knight game looks as old as it is, and I tried Knockout City when the beta came out and wasn't exactly blown away by it.

Oh well, always next month!

Wild West? Check
Top down/isometric? Check
Not turn based? Check

This is right up my street!

Terrible month IMO.

First Class Trouble? Would rather wait and get Among Us next month to be honest.
Kingdoms of Amalur looks as old as it is.
Knockout City was OK when I tried it but nothing overly special.
No interest in the VR games because I don't have VR!

I don't get this. So the trial countdown starts when you hit download? Does that mean, presuming it will take, say, an hour to download, that I can then play it for X amount of hours, or does the timer continue to count down even whilst the game is sat unopened on your home screen?

I'm playing the Riders Republic trial which is quite enjoyable to be honest. I'd get the game in a sale one day for sure.

I may also download the other PS trial games - Little Big Planet, Death Stranding etc and see how much game time I get on them once they've downloaded!

Cool, I like playing Stardew Valley with my daughter, so will be sure to get this!

Pretty sure the previous versions on the store went for £24.99 (and as low as £14.99 when in sales). How on earth is this worth an extra £30?!

No eFootball?!

Seriously though, if and when the bugs are ironed out and new content added, that would surely be on this list. This time next year maybe?

@Slippship If that's your opinion, that's your opinion mate. Personally I can't see too much difference with Apple and Spotify though. I mean, in terms of morals and greediness etc. Spotify pay how much to artists? 0.0000004p a play per song or something ridiculous.

We all still use these products and services despite all that though, so are we any better?

I like it. There, I said it.

@Slippship you kind of lost your argument over Apple's morals and ethics when you said you sub to Spotify

I snapped up Lonely Mountains Downhill, which I enjoyed on my Son's Xbox Game Pass. And I finally bit on Uncharted Lost Legacy for £7.99 even though I'm sure it will be on Plus sooner rather than later. Finally, I also snapped up the Mafia Trilogy, mainly because the standalone first game was £20 and the whole trilogy was £27. Around £9 per game, can't argue with that!
