  1. I’m in the same position as @Luseth, I’ve never played but have always been interested! Assuming they have cross play I would definitely be up for trying it, but I’ll be playing from the Xbox side!
  2. It’s a shame as I was considering picking it up this weekend to try and jump in with some of you … sounds like I should wait another week or so! It’s difficult as I definitely understand the fans/players frustrations, paying £35 for a game that they often can’t even play! I do have sympathies for the developer though as they really didn’t expect the success they are seeing! Hopefully this will all be suited in the next week or so!
  3. I don’t think so mate, unless you remember the code for that world which I doubt 🤣 Could always start again from scratch though!
  4. I was going to say this. I have no history with Diablo whatsoever but was looking forward to it coming to Game Pass so I could give it a go, shame to hear it’s not doing so well now!
  5. Final snaps from my Alan Wake 2 playthrough!
  6. Control 2 is already in the works! Control 2 - Remedy Entertaiment WWW.REMEDYGAMES.COM Remedy Entertainment has signed an agreement with 505 Games to co-develop and co-publish Control 2...
  7. I just beat the story for Alan Wake 2 last night! Overall, I enjoyed the experience, however I did find the combat to be quite clunky and unsatisfying. I actually much preferred the combat in the original Alan Wake. I actually didn’t like Saga’s mind place as much as I was hoping. Alan’s plot board was a little better but still not quite what I was hoping for. The visuals are phenomenal and I loved the way they used live action footage, Remedy are definitely the masters of this right now! The voice acting is also fantastic for basically every character in the game! Speaking of characters, I really enjoyed all the new characters, and the reoccurring ones! Saga Anderson is great and hopefully a staple in the series going forward. The story is … great! But it’s a real mindfu**! Obviously this game is part of the RCU (Remedy Connected Universe), so has links to Control. You can play Alan Wake 2 as its own game, but it definitely helps to play Alan Wake and Control first. It’s the kind of story which leaves you with more questions than answers, and it wants to come up with your own theories about what has happened and why it’s happening. I’m really hoping there are others here on the site that have beat the game, as it’s definitely a game that you could spend hours debating and theorising! Anyone played it and have their thoughts? If I had to put a score on it, I would give it an 8.5/10!
  8. Sorry that’s what I meant, I thought everyone’s map was procedurally generated for them, rather than be able to pick and choose what map you play! In that case, my favourite map is my own 🤣
  9. To be honest I didn’t know there were different maps … but this post has made me nostalgic to play Minecraft with @Andy_White_07 again!
  10. Some more snaps from my Alan Wake 2 playthrough, getting towards the end now …
  11. Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded are coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch! Definitely seems like these 4 games are the ‘trial’ run, I’m sure we will see more Xbox exclusives on PS5 shortly after these 4! Microsoft has also confirmed they will still be releasing future Xbox consoles. If you don’t own an Xbox, I would definitely recommend Hi-Fi rush, a fantastic game! Microsoft: four Xbox-exclusive games are coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM Microsoft is starting out small but has big ambitions.
  12. I fear you might be right!! Although, I’m still confident with the rest of my predictions 🤞🏻
  13. Ok so it’s time for an update, as we now have 3 games with an OpenCritic score! Suicide Squad: 60 Foamstars: 64 Helldivers 2: 84 Player scores so far: @J4MES OX4D = 8 @Luseth = 1 @Andy_White_07 = -2 Me = -4 … 😔 Skull and Bones and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth up next, here’s hoping I can get back to a positive score soon!!
  14. A couple of snaps from my playthrough of Alan Wake 2! More to come …
  15. A couple of snaps from Silent Hill: The Short Message

    I enjoyed Splatoon 2 but never put too many hours into it! This game is definitely similar, however in Splatoon the modes tended to focus on which team can cover the map with the most ink, whereas here it is more focused on the typically death match and other objective modes. It’s 4v4 modes at the moment with a coop mode too!
  17. I never played the Silent Hill games so I can’t really comment to that. However I did play PT and it does feel like this game has tried to recreate something similar, but PT is far superior.

    Has anyone played this game yet? I’ve played a handful of matches on my own and it’s pretty fun! Think it was a great idea for them to release it on PS Plus, as I imagine the player base would have been much smaller otherwise! Think it’d be a fun game for FGers to get together and play, I’m not very vocal in party chats mainly because I typically play when my girlfriend and daughter are asleep, but it would be fun to party up with some you! Anyone else been enjoying the game?
  19. Firstly, I was looking for a ‘Horror’ sub category to post this in but couldn’t find one … so I’m posting it here but let me know if there is somewhere else to post about horror games! Secondly, has anyone else played this yet? I beat this short game the other day and have mixed feelings about it. I actually found the story quite interesting and has a very disturbing and poignant message about bullying, suicide, mental health and neglect. Therefore I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone who may be triggered or upset by these subjects. The gameplay isn’t great, the visuals are good but the use of FMV is particularly interesting here. More and more games seems to be using this now and think it will play a big part in the future of games. I guess in summary I enjoyed my 2 hours with the game, but only trying to unravel the disturbing story, I didn’t actually enjoy ‘playing’ it. The last sequence in particular was very frustrating and I ended up just using a YouTube guide for it! Has anyone else played it? What’s your thoughts on it? If you haven’t played it but are interested, it’s a free game on the PlayStation store.
  20. Whilst I agree that it’ll be good for PS5 owners, I think it’s important to consider that IF Microsoft/Xbox do pull out of the console hardware market, then who challenges PlayStation? What’s stopping Sony from charging £700 for the PS6? Nintendo aren’t really trying to compete at the high end powerful console level, so it would just be PlayStation. Xbox are in a really difficult position, by focusing so much on Game Pass they have cornered themselves into this position. Particularly with a lot of their most popular franchises being multiplayer (Gears, Halo, now COD), these games benefit from having a large player base … best way to get that is to have them on all consoles. We need to see what Xbox say about these rumours next week, but right now I am worried for the future of the video games market if this is all true.
  21. 8 reviews for Suicide Squad now, OpenCritic score is currently at 60. A long way to go but if it stays at this score, that’ll be +5 points for @J4MES OX4D and -2 points for myself and @Andy_White_07!!
  22. As much as these games don’t appeal to me personally, I am always happy when PlayStation offer brand new games releasing on the service day one! I think they should do more of this. I will definitely try out Foamstars, unlikely il try the others.
  23. A Spanish website has posted the first review for Suicide Squad … and it’s a bad start for the game! Apparently Warner Bros are also refusing to give review codes to certain review outlets, including IGN! May be a while until we get the final OpenCritic score.
  24. Ok so entries are now closed! Only 4 of us have entered so only a small competition but should be fun to keep track of who is winning. A few fun stats from our entries: Top 3 games on average prediction: Hellblade 2 - 89.00 Star Wars Outlaws - 88.00 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - 86.75 Bottom 3 games on average prediction: Skull and Bones - 69.00 Suicide Squad - 69.75 Alone in the Dark - 73.00 Our total average predictions: WelchyTV - 80.95 @Andy_White_07 - 80.58 @Luseth - 78.89 @J4MES OX4D - 78.00 Seems I am the most optimistic this year! Let’s see how the Suicide Squad reviews come out this week! Good luck all!
  25. Shame you had some problems with the game, but it’s good to hear your thoughts as most reviews have been very glowing about the game! I haven’t picked this one up and will likely just wait for it come to either Game Pass or PS Plus in a year or so. Hearing your thoughts has made me happy with that decision!
