Yeah I thought so too. I like their games anyway but the gameplay video looked fun. They have my attention!

Playing god of war from the collection, how good is this game? Absolutely brilliant, and it’s stunning too, annoying that it’s 1080 60fps, but I’m over it as it looks brilliant anyway.

Also got my first platinum on Astro bot

You not played it before? Was the best game of the generation in my opinion, the sequel Ragnarok will no doubt be incredible as well. Imagine it’ll be 2022 though.

Never touched one before, had to watch a summary video someone kindly linked in here to figure out what happened so far.

It’s a cracking game, fair play, will complete and buy the sequel so putting it on the collection was smart.

The previous games are a bit different so playing them backwards might feel a bit strange - but the modern GOW is an absolute masterpiece.

Yeah I ain’t gonna go through the old ones, can’t see any of them being near this most recent masterpiece.

They're completely different in terms of tone, setting and gameplay.

It's best to imagine the reboot as the first in a spin off series. Kinda like Joey after Friends, but not as good, obviously.

So will the headset ever be in stock ever again? Or will I forever be doomed to not hearing the finest Sony branded audio?

I completed it last week and honestly, it was such a masterpiece of a story. I tried the older GoW 3 Remastered on PSNow afterwards, and it felt disappointing. The Norse mythology element elevated it to a whole new level.

Excellent! I’m really enjoying it so far, it’s a beautiful game.

It only gets better the more you level up and learn new abilities.

It’s also good you watched a catch up of the previous games as there’s a very nice throwback element in the latter stages which I won’t spoil.

Unlikely, but any more stock info? There were rumours of Amazon and Currys dropping some more yesterday which never materialised.

Yeah, I'm loving it. Think I'm almost at the end of the story but there's still a lot to do afterwards.

Never played a GoW game before and it hasn't spoiled my enjoyment of it at all. Just passed a reference to something I assume happened in a previous one, but it was clear what it was about so didn't need the prior knowledge.

Edit: Story finished - what a game. Platinum is going to be a bit of a grind but I want to go for it.

How many of you have Sackboy? And if you do, is it worth the money and purchase?
Got it. But haven’t played it yet as I want to play it with a friend and online coop is going to patched in the near future.

Finished Miles Morales, which had a decent length for me after playing Yakuza for a month. No idea what I am going to play next.

I got hold of the pulse headset finally, nothing special and a bit flimsy if you already have a decent wireless headset don't bother.

Platinumed AstroBoy last night (such a good little game) and have already finished Demons so I guess back to MM it is. They sorted out the issues with it yet?

Anyone recommend anything else?

I'm a dick. I bought the David Attenborough 3D trilogy assuming the PS5 could play 3D blu rays like the PS4 could. What are the chances this gets added in a patch?

Saw Assassin's Creed valhalla for 38 pound and the new Watchdog for 30 in Tesco, not a bad price for next gen game.

It seems like apart from Astros the whole release has been a damp squib. I think I'll still invest in the new year but glad I didn't rush out and get one as it doesn't feel like I'm missing all that much if I'm honest.

I wouldn’t say so. The quality of life changes moving from an Og PS4 are just ridiculous. It’s quiet, loads in an instant and the UI is a big improvement. It’s also nice to have a device that can actually get the most out of my TV settup.

On top of that Spider-Man Remastered and Miles are great fun and feel pretty next gen. I’ve also only been able to play Cyberpunk due entirely to the brute power of the machine especially when you compare it to the PS4 versions. Overall I’d say it has been brilliant launch window marred by the lack of stock and scalpers.

Meh maybe we both expected different things. I think you should launch with a few really good new games. I appreciate the system upgrades are good and next gen but I genuinely don't feel like I'm missing out by waiting as it seems like there's nothing out that really takes my fancy in the games department.

Cause he couldn't get one.
That's basically it as I feel the same as I don't have one.

Not having one though has made me hold off on buying AC Valhalla which I know I would enjoy!

And I have GOW still to play through buy waiting for the ps5 to go through that aswell with better performance!

Know as soon as I get my hands on one I'll have more than enough to keep me going for a while and be like an excited child.
