Finished Kena yesterday. Dropped the difficulty to easy in the end to get it done.

Very good game. Can't be arsed to go back and find all the remaining collectibles though.

Overall, well worth the £23 I paid for it.

I'm a few hours into Far Cry 6. I'm struggling to get through it. Just seems like the same game I played with 5 and Primal.

It's basically been the same game again and again since Far Cry 3, so that shouldn't have been a surprise.
Yep, I’ve learned now to not fall for it. The games always look so nice that I get tempted in but the shallow and repetitive nature of the games always disappoints.

Yeah I got it from Christmas. Just like 5. Played one, played them all I guess. Why the hell is FC 3 still so good? Hah. Feck this, I've so many other games that I'd prefer to play. Halo infinite, new Life is strange and the FF7 Yuffi DLC.

Finished Hitman 3. For a game that lives off playing it through more than once and in different ways this totally lacks replay value. I have zero interest going through 90% of the missions again to change a tiny bit of outcome and get other rewards. Really strange game. Didn't like the interface either.

I’m waiting for it to cost around £20 and then I’ll get it. I know it’s not gonna be great but I like open world games and want to play one.

I love the series but I’d agree with that. I did play a few levels over again a couple times but it really should have a lot more replay value than it does.

Horizon Forbidden West coming out soon so it looks like I'm going to have to finally buy one of these. Are they still like gold dust to find or will I get my hands on one?

It looks like an exciting year for games. As well as Horizon, I'm really looking forward to Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hogwarts Legacy, GOW: Ragnarok, Breath of the Wild 2, Starfield and PGA 2022 (first game in years to host all 4 majors).

They aren’t readily available but if you spend a few weeks looking you should get one. They regularly come into stock into the major retailers, just need to be quick and check daily. There are also stock sites you can subscribe to. Pretty sure there’s a twitter acc in Ireland for it too.

Nice one, thanks.

I've just found this on twitter so I'll subscribe and keep checking myself as well. https://twitter.com/ps5_ireland

I played the first mission in Dubai twice and was looking forward to what was coming but then it went a bit downwards. The Dartmoor mission was interesting to play through but in all honesty I have absolutely no interest in going through all the conversations and rooms again. Just not going to happen. Then you have Berlin. Same there. No interest in finding all those guys again and going through all of the club. Then Chongqing. Worst of all in terms of replay value. I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going half the time. No interest in doing that all over again. Mendoza was pretty fun and maybe something I'd play through again. And the last mission is pretty much done with one playthrough anyway.
So yeah bit underwhelming. Got it on the cheap though so I'm not going to complain.

Started Guardians yesterday. Pretty good so far. Combat is a bit basic but i'm already enjoying the bantz although not too keen on this version of Quill.

Just downloading my January freebies - Dirt 5 and Deep Rock Galactic (any good?).

Yeah I wish I never got this game, I realllly struggled to get into it. Feel like @Solius wont like it at all.
Might wait til it inevitably ends up on PS Plus. I have enjoyed previous Far Cry games but this one looks like it has so many issues.

I bought Far cry 6 last week with Xmas money and I’m not enjoying it so far. I much prefer the previous games way of unlocking things via challenges etc.

Stop buying Ubisoft open world games they are crap.
I'd go with samey rather than crap. If you've never played Far Cry or AC before i imagine the new games are still a good play but when you've played the same game several times they become....lacking.

Played a couple of hours of deep rock and I'm really enjoying it. I just joined randoms to get co-op and so far people are all working together to complete the missions really well. Not using mic either. I'm looking forward to playing with friends at the weekend.

I had a little go at Dirt, seems pretty standard, quite nice graphically, decent use of haptics. Haven’t tried online yet.

I can't see me needing an extra SSD for some time, to be honest. I very rarely have more than one game going at a time, and even if I do I try to keep the number of games I actually have downloaded to a minimum. As a result, I still got plenty of room left. Appreciate not everyone does this.

I am watching The Witcher at the moment. Quite enjoying it. Is it worth picking up any of the games on PS5 or are they better on PC? Also what's the cheapest way to grab them at the minute does anyone know? They still seem to be quite expensivo

GOTY edition is £6.99 on psn I believe? That has all the DLC included too. It's also getting a free upgrade some time this year apparently. It's great on PS4, nevermind the PS5. Not played it on PC but a lot of the mods I've seen on YouTube don't really do a great deal.

A young nephew of mine is looking to play against me on fifa 22 but I haven’t got it yet was just wondering does fifa do cross generation between the PS5 and PS4? As I will rarely play it otherwise?

I think if you buy the PS5 version you get access to the PS4 version. Only if you get a certain edition though.

There's many great mods on Nexus and you get 60fps and above on PC. PS5 is still locked to 30 I believe.

Nah to play your nephew you'll need to download the PS4 version of the game (which automatically comes with the game - you just download it)

Was reading up on it apparently you buy PS5 ultimate edition and it gives you access to PS4 edition as well so I can play him. It better as I just splashed out on it there now :wenger:

Ah I thought you had automatic entitlement to the PS4 version with any edition of the game, but now that you mention it I remember buying the ultimate edition for my own nephews this year :lol:

Yeah it’s kinda bullshit on Sony’s part that they didn’t make the standard edition cross gen as well, but oh well…

Tbh I think it's more of an EA decision than a Sony one. Plenty of other publishers have allowed the dual entitlement into this year too.
