I saw that clip when it came out on Twitter as the voice actor for the main character is married to a Game Director at Bungie. It does look really cool, although I don't have much to add as I never played the other FF games outside of 7 and 8. I did play a little bit of a later one but they are just incomparable to these early games. Square Enix have done a top job of the 7 remake, that I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to look at another remake. However, it would be probably at least a decade away if not more considering how long its took just to get a remake of 7 done...and even that hasn't been the full game so far.

A bit late for early impressions but makes sense to still put my 2p as I think quite a few still haven't picked this up. I've really enjoyed my first dibs into this game. I similarly enjoyed D3 and it really does play virtually like that. Graphics are quality. Story seems to be more engaging than the previous one too. I think the hardest part to get around is all the upgrades and all the skill trees as to what they mean as there is so many. What feels better on this one is the 'admin' you have to do seems a lot less as its easy to compare what drops you get to what you pick up. I like you can easily highlight junk and all I've been doing is junking most of it rather than selling it - this seems to give some transmog options but not got to that just yet. I also like the idea that map is the same for everyone rather than procedural generated. The map is so big so going off to explore and find little side quests and dungeons seem more inviting than D3. Grouping has been pretty cool so far and being able to get 5 of us together is abit crazy fun. I still find this game abit less intense than FPS games like Destiny, so even though battles can look really cool, its also really hard to see whats actually going on...and I then look down to see me just spamming a certain number of buttons because it feels like the right thing to do. I want to keep playing it for sure, but definitely alongside other games. I'm not too concerned on the time it takes to move through it, as I think i'd be more worried that I wouldn't go back to it much once I blitz through the official Act/Story missions. Worth the money though as I sit here right now.

Have they finished DayZ 1 yet?! Just waiting for our resident DayZ qualified expert to chime in if this is accurate, good, bad or nothing of interest! @phil bottle

Great review @Luseth. What did you play it on? Just wondered if it was out for all platforms.

I really need to get a 3DS at some point, I miss out on a few games that they only made for that and not the DS. Also need a GBC too, just to feel how it plays and looks as opposed to the OG GameBoy. Great collection so far @Luseth!

I'll keep an eye on this but I know Brede said in his PPR that it needs a little bit of work. However, the look and feel of Bloodborne does it make get a little excited for it. I wonder how they gameplay differs from that?

Are they going for their own version of No Mans Sky or is it more closer to Star Citizen? I'm trying to understand the angle of what the game objective is and what we're expected to do in the game. Some bits look amazing, i'm not sure their gunplay will feel the best out there from what i've seen. Would love to know what others think that have followed this for a while.

I feel this a hell of a lot. Its like with most things, we can joke and a laugh but actually there's probably someone down the line that feels really crap about it. I can relate with that feeling John, I've actually started to wash my hair with less shampoo and other things like conditioners. Sometimes we forget there is so many things in those bottles that actually work against you, even if it makes your hair smell nice!

I've never really had time for these games but this does pretty decent I must say. I'm still not sure i'd pick it up unless it was on a large sale price but I still think it would be worth a try, if there was a demo perhaps. I think my lad would absolutely love it though.

Would love to see these in game. How often do the bike tyres spawn? And have they already confirmed if there is a bicycle tyre kit available in case you get a puncture?

Hi @ShyMatthew ! Welcome to FG! Hope you've enjoyed looking around and getting involved where you can. I'll add you on PSN later and hopefully we can try and have a few games this week when some of us are on it? Like the others said, feel free to share what else you play and enjoy just in case there are other things we can all party up together on. Its a great place here, lots of different stuff to do and get involved in, all for fun and giggles. Enjoy your stay!

I think as much as the Switch can only do 30fps docked, I think we'll look back and see that it is an incredible piece of kit that really elevates certain games, far superior and different to the Wii too. Having said that, teh PS5 games are slowly starting to churn out and weirdly even though I feel its been a slow year, some developers have started to use the real potential of the graphics. I just wish there was more games that used Haptic feedback in the controllers in creative ways...maybe it was something that developers couldn't get their hands on until the last few years. Maybe another 12 months will change the leaderboard. Xbox really just feels to me like a portable PC now they have Game Pass. I don't see much reason to buy it given I have my own PC at home. I'd rather buy a Steam Deck than the Xbox which is a real shame given how much love I had for the OG Xbox and the 360.

Hows everyone found the beta on this?

I see that point and rightly thats definitely one way it could end up, but I'd air on the side of being positive for this one for a change. Ubisoft don't make all bad stuff, and its easy to just expect that all games need to be open world sandboxes but as we know alot can come out and be a mess and have no depth at all. I think the way it is a 2D scroller but with 3D characteristics in many places gives it a different feel. I feel like its the same as if Final Fantasy went and brought a new game out going back to the ATB system they used at the start of the franchise. It would be loved by many I would expect. Plus, at least it won't be full price for a side scroller either.

Maybe so, but its free i'd be stupid not to give it a go. If the mission was decent, it could pull me in to play the others. Based on previous PvE missions, if they are like that then its a no from me. Mechanics and just shooting is needed. The upgrading heroes would've been absolutely awesome to grind and enjoy the chase to get them all upgraded.

This won Eurovision in 2012. Still a great dance tune.

Its took me a while to get round to this but all I can say is I'm just sad to see the direction go away from deep PvE stuff in the game. I don't think everything they promised is exactly how some of the reporters are putting it but it doesn't matter much to me becaus its the sentiment behind them creating detailed PvE that I was really looking for in this game. With the change to 5v5 making the game feel way more sweaty competitive than before, I can see why we haven't had many people on this game lately. I know some still play it ( @Stretch616 @LordBaguette @Noct for instance) and I do miss playing our stacked games together as one co-ordinated push as a team is still an awesome feeling - however, the game just felt like it needed detailed PvE stuff to give it enough variety so you felt like you could go on it multiple nights. Tom said last night he wouldn't be surprised if the first story missions end up free after the backlash and I think that would make sense too. Usually these early hearings of cost and what is being delivered this early in the gaming news is a test from publishers to work out how it is being received and what they can do to bring people in to the franchise again.

Yeah he won't go away straight away is my thoughts too. I think he'd like to go back to Barca in the next 5 years. Nationally, he'd also be more likely to take Spain than us...not sure we will go down foreign routes for a while now. But right now I think he may not ever touch National sides due to the fact its far less work. Plus Gareth Southgate shows the type of characteristics of management, especially successful club ones, may not suit international football that has smaller calendars.

Looking forward to loads of fun updates on this one. Its been great on the past few times online so hopefully more hilarious fun and banter to be had with everyone.

You really should've checked the FG Games we have for free for all FGers in the Merch area before spunking 3.29.....😅

Good thoughts mate @LordBaguette. I like Matt's life is too short mentality but can also share I'd be gutted if i did lose my hair because I enjoy the way I look with all my hair. I just don't think I'll suit a shaved head...and also expecting my head to have loads of random shapes in it 😅 Apparently you are supposed to inherit similar traits to your Mum's family side and one generation above (essentially your Grandad), but i'm hoping it follows my Dad's because he has a full flock of hair whereas my other Grandad ended up with about 14 strands of hair on top for years.

I actually really love the look of this one. Weirdly its getting panned, maybe because people it should be a grand, open world-esque type of game but Prince of Persia has always been a side-scroller and this looks like its a great way to deliver it imo. And I bet it won't be a triple A price too. Thoughts everyone? Plus out on my birthday next year (18th Jan) so it has to be a hit surely? 😁
