Luseth

It is one of those games I wanted to play but never did as I did not have a group to jump on it with. I imagine it will be full price on Playstation so I likely will keep game pass going (assuming it will be crossplay) and play it on there (assuming it's crossplay) as that will work out the cheapest way to play it. Justifying the full price for a game that is ridiculously cheaper elsewhere just to play it on my preferred console seems a bit saft. But yes I'd be up for jumping on, this would garner my interest a little more than the likes of destiny I think.

I still haven't properly played Elden Ring I won't lie. It looks like a game I would enjoy the gameplay of however is it like the Souls games in that the story isn't really there? I.e. you can read the lore but that's about it?

I had heard that as well but I don't really understand where that has come from. There are sort of like 2 battle passes, 1 which is free and earned in game, the other is paid for (but you do earn the currency through general play and the free battle pass). The guns on the paid for option have been compared with those you get on the free and everything is fairly well balanced.

@Stretch616 just you wait till @Macca89 get's a montage sorted of last nights schenanigans!

Sea of thieves and grounded are 2 games I would pick up gladly!

@WelchyTV I think you must have been too happy the day you made your predictions!

I have just checked this out, you can have a server of up to 20 players but smaller squads of 3 to take on objectives and quests.

I won't lie, I haven't even touched this. I just have too much to play so when games come out on PS Plus they just get added to the library for tomorrow.... Then tomorrow often doesn't arrive unless reviews crop up like it's the next Palworld or Rocket league etc.

So, a few from my latest JRPG, I am quite enjoying the art style of this one albeit the game feels like it might be a bit short -

I won't lie, I'm a little burned out with this COD already. I am trying to keep it more engaging by switching up weapons, playing around with the flamethrower n such the past week but there are a couple of dreadful maps i.e. Highrise, shipment (this is fine for camo grind but should just be kept away from the main playlist I think). My gripe's not necassarily the game itself, it's fine and typical COD, gunplay is good but my gripes - - Even now spawns in a game can very quickly still become a clusterfuck, the number of times I have spawned in (particularly with smaller maps) and spawned right in front of someone to be shot in the back is absurd. Then with larger maps, you only need one person to sit in spawn sniping and then you can't get away from it. - Maps, the MW2 maps are great nostalgicly but they are getting tired. In fact the reintroduction of some of the maps from the last game have for me been one of the best aspects of COD lately and I think there is a gulf between them. The 3 lane design in principle seems simple with newer maps but I think due to that the games flow better, a game of domination tends to result in points swapping either end and provides options for flanking and flipping spawns which is a plus for me. - Player base, I know there isn't much that can be done here but we do come across some toxic lobbies. I am fine with camping and such generally but when you get a whole lobby doing it then it get's tiresome and those matches become really dull.

I think @GazzaGarratt and I are planning to pick it up, just not sure when yet or on what device. Is it crossplay do we know? I'll google it ^_^

Unfortunately I did not get round to playing it, I ended up trying the new FFVII demo which has got me all excited for it now. That said I have seen various tik tok video's and a review or 2 and it sounds like the game has gone down quite well, the stumbling block for most people though will be the price tag as I think to buy through the store it's like £70 I think? Just looking about online you can get a physical copy for £53 if you know where to look so that's not so bad! That said I am going to be paying £60 for FF at the end of this month and I quite want to get Helldivers 2 as well so justifying a 3rd game at a time when I'm trying to clear some credit card debt may not be feasable. How many can you have in a party / lobby?

You always generate some great screenshots @J4MES OX4D I do have some of my own for a change from the new ffvii demo -

If you stream it let me know, I wouldn't mind having a watch, it certainly looks good from what I have seen so far!

Not really surprising, couple the poor console sales with the fact I think they view gaming going to a more streaming based service I would be surprised if we see more than maybe 1 more physical xbox generation and everything going cloud based in the next generation or so for Xbox. The only way this works for Microsoft is to make it so that their content reaches the biggest audience that it can. The other plus for us as PS5 owners is that it may potentially mean Fallout, Elder scrolls etc won't be locked behind Microsoft devices (though with the next releases they may be timed releases).

I will give them a go, I usually do so anyway at some point. Steel Rising I had looked at before as it is by a studio that has produced some games I have quite enjoyed albeit they tend to have issues technically. This is a bit of a souls like game if that takes people's interest but I think at the time the reviews mostly complained about that because it didn't really bring anything new to the table.

If you want full on rpg then Final Fantasy 14 is meant to be really good though I have never gotten round to playing it or elder scrolls online (I picked this up recently and plan to give it a go once I finish Cyberpunk) If you want single player titles that others can hop in on then Badlurs Gate, Elden Ring maybe. If you want games similar to destiny then maybe the division 2, Outriders (it didn't quite take off but I enjoyed it), deep rock galactic but I think you need a squad or Helldivers 2 comes out in a week and I think that's going to do pretty well.

I will put my loadout up a little later on, that said I cant believe you are using anything other than the Bas-P unless you are camo collecting 😁

I couldn't ask for a more informative review 😛
