Gaming PlayStation 5

Tried playing MGS3 on PS Now. It was horrible because of the lack of pressure sensitive controls. You gently held square back in the day to aim your gun but that wasn't possible with a PS4 controller.
 
I know it's only a selection of the available games in the classics but if it was going to be better you'd think they'd want some heavy hitters on there from the get go to get people excited. To take one example Tekken 2 was a fine game but Tekken 3 is the one everyone really loves.

I've been thinking how great it would be to play some of my all time faves again on the playstation and getting super hyped and literally not one of them is available (as yet) :lol: :(

Yeah, this is my problem with it. It's either they're slow rolling this thing, or they haven't got the heavy hitters that everyone is hoping for. If i do upgrade, it will be the extra tier. I'm not going to bother with the premium one as it is.
 
I've bought most of the Sony ps5 games that are listed with Plus, aside from Returnal and Demons Souls.

And I got fed up of waiting for something like this to come out, so pulled the trigger a couple of months ago on a Aya Neo, which is essentially a laptop inside the form factor of a Switch, so I now play everything up to PS3 level on there (including games like Sly Cooper that aren't on Plus).
 
Those are amazing for anyone who hasn't had a ps for the last 3-4 years. Imagine jumping in and having all that at your disposal? For what, the price of a Netflix subscription?


It's massive value if you haven't bought most of them. You could probably take a couple years to play through all the "good" games (rdr2, last of us, horizon, god of war, days gone etc). By then you'd have more games in the collection and today's big games (haha wot games) would be on sale by then.

We just don't see the value because we have already spent the money on most of those games because we is nerds.

Also, for kids/younger people who can't fork out £60 for a game every month this is amazing.

It's the good thing about the subscription services, game pass and whatever this is.
 
I'll concede it's largely because I already played most of the big games. But I was someone who was going to go top tier day 1.... until I saw that list.

There's really very little there for me. I missed RDR2 and Miles morales, but those two alone don't justify it for me.

Good news - you don't need top tier to play them. They're on the middle tier.

Great point, by the time you smashed those out games like Horizon 2 will be on the service and you carry on.
 
So I've been subscribed to 2 stockalerting Telegram groups to actually try and purchuse this stinking shitpile of a console, but even if I try 5 minutes after the alert I'm too late.

Fighting the urge to not just buy it off a scalper is getting more difficult.
 
Bit bleak the whole console gaming scene at the minute apart from going through huge back catalogues what realistically is the next big game, with nothing scheduled exclusively on xbox for the rest of the year, if GOW gets delayed that's it for this year?

Obviously there will be a few surprises on the way but for the standard triple A big budget games that's it exclusives anyway unless i'm missing something.

Square Enix has one or two things scheduled to be released (Forspoken) but impressions of that are mixed.

Xbox will probably have Motorsport which hasn't really been as popular compared to Horizon and Gran Turismo but that might change.

I'm sure we'll get a few surprises in the showcase(s) next month. Xbox have little option but to try and secure a big third party day one game on Game Pass with the delays to Starfield and Redfall.
 
Meanwhile I'm here with a huge backlog that's not getting any smaller. I miss my PS360 days when I could play pretty much everything and had time for 6+ hour gaming sessions and the like.
 
This is why I saved the new Horizon when that glut of games dropped the other month. Not sure how it can hope to follow Elden Ring though.
Horizon is so overrated. Not sure how they managed to take a winning formula and over complicate every aspect of it to the point where it became incredibly irritating to play. I’d say it’s just about worth it for the 60 hours and because it’s beautiful to look at.

Yeah I'd heard. Can't say I'm overly looking forward to it which is why I'm dragging out Elden Ring for as long as possible and going for all the achievements in one huge run.

Why would you even play a game you're not looking forward to? That seems like an exercise in futility.
 
Before release, I was really looking forward to Horizon, but I have no intention of playing it now. What I've seen and heard since it came out has put me off. Seems like another generic open-world game, albeit a very beautiful one. I'm not really much of a fan of Aloy as a character (find her really boring) so even that's not getting me to buy it.

If I do buy it, it's going to be when it drops significantly in price. Sort of in-between games at the moment after Elden Ring. I'll probably wait until that PS Plus Extra tier so I can play Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima.
 
My biggest error was getting caught in the excitement and buying Dying Light, then Horizon, then Elden Ring before finishing the previous title. All that's done is stop me playing any of them which makes no real sense but I cant motivate myself to get back into them even though I was loving them initially.

Because it'll probably be better than I expect and I'll be pleasantly surprised? What a silly question. Do you only ever do things in life that you're looking forward to?
 
Forspoken looks dire in my opinion. The dialogue just looks a bit cringy and not my thing- who knows though, it might turn out to be good.

The only new games i'm looking forward to this year are Stray (the cat game) and The Quarry (Until Dawn team, same theme/type of game). Don't think GOW or FF16 will be out this year but could be wrong.

Pfft where were you when my thread on it got zero replies.

Not nearly as much as I'd like to, video games are pretty much an escape from all the other bullshit life expects of me.

The Last of Us Remake, and maybe Factions with it. I don't see the need for a remake myself, but it's coming out at the end of the year apparently.

I've seen those The Last of Us remake rumours as well, and even as a massive fan of the original this just sounds like a colossal waste of time and resources to me. The PS4 remaster is a perfectly fine game to play in 2022.

It's a good game imo...

I held off completing the original or playing the new one as I want a smooth one-two punch of TLOUR and TLOU2... I mean the combat, animations, graphics look like they are miles apart. I can't wait...

Forbidden west? I thought it was really good
 
People will pay a subscription to play ubisoft games. :lol:
I wouldn't, but this subscription is more than just Ubisoft and it will continue to grow. For people who dont have an Xbox/Game pass it probably makes sense. There's a fair few games I'd already want to play on that.

On Ubisoft they are usually terrible, but I have to say I absolutely loved my time Far Cry 5 which was a shock to me as well. Immortals Phoenix rising was also surprisingly good.
 
Dunkey's review of Hidden West was enough to put me off. Found the first one boring and this one just seemed full of classic open world tropes and lots of pointless dialogue.
 
Pfft where were you when my thread on it got zero replies.
:lol: Sorry, didn't see it. I liked Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology but I rarely ever feel the need to play them again. The dark pictures have a nice budget price and a weekend feel to them, and then it's selling them on second hand.
 
HFW was more of the same except more talking. LOTS and LOTS of talking. LOTS! It makes Vampyr look almost taciturn and aloof at times. It's not a problem at all if you like the characters/world/lore but if you don't ... :nervous:

Yeah. I quite liked the first one and was kind of looking forward to the sequel, but lost all interest now. Not sure if it's because Elden Ring was so good, but I have no interest in playing it at the moment.

Elden Ring has ruined all other games for me.

The theory is, is that Naughty Dog is working on a new IP, but it's very early in development and is only at the concept stage. So the technical staff and creative staff are far apart, so I think Sony decided to give the technical staff something to do (i.e., remake The Last of Us) before the new IP enters production. And remaking a game isn't going to take as long as creating a brand new one.
 
Elden Ring has ruined all other games for me.

Same. And it's also how long I spent in the game as well. I very, very rarely go over 100 hours in any game, but I did with this one, so I'm completely lost now.

I haven't played Elden Ring. Super hard games like Dark Souls aren't for me, I play games on medium and don't like dying to the same boss 40 times to learn the mechanics. So thought it was best to give Elden Ring a miss.


I enjoyed the story of Forbidden West. Don't think Aloy is the most interesting character in the world, but the story built upon a lot of the things which interested me in the original game.
