Yeh I was absolutely loving it right up until I wasn’t and at that point it’s been impossible to dive back in. My hope is that I did a similar thing with Odyssey and ended up diving back in to finish it at a later point. At the moment though the only reason I want to finish it is so I can happily delete it from my system. I have absolutely no idea how anyone has the stamina to platinum a game like this.

It's as if the only people who can platinum it are those who made it and were proper passionate about making a shit game.
Even travel points, the fast travel locations are useless, always a feckin mile away from wherever you're going anyway.
It really could have been epic, I much prefer the whole hunting down the order part of the game over anything else
Yeh fair enough you are definately looking at it from a different perspective to me. I’m someone who has played about 10 hours of Bloodborne and haven’t touched another FromSoftware game, but would like to in the future. For me it was entirely different to any other games I’ve played of that nature, a more linear story, a fantastically weighty combat which eclipses anything I played before in open world RPGs. I didn’t go in expecting bosses and boss battles so I think if you come in from a soulsbourne title you’ll probably always be expecting and anticipating that. I also didn’t go in expecting a massive challenge (although the end game killed me), so again I think it’s probably a case of what you are used too.
I’d say for most gamers who haven’t really played the more linear style worlds and who haven’t really played the souls series, this a massive step up in quality compared to pretty much any other title on the market.
The god of war series is pretty famed for it's boss battles though.
I agree. What’s frustrating in these modern AC games is that they are actually pretty close to a great title. This obsession with bigger and bigger open worlds needs to end. If they could make the map 75% smaller and 50% denser it would be a far better game. For me personally I still think the best AC worlds ever made were Rome and Venice where there was always cool things to see and not just loads of empty space. But they were onto some cool ideas in Valhalla. I liked for example how all the things on the map were mysteries etc where you were never quite sure on what side quest you’d encounter, that was a far better system than simple question mark locations in Odyssey.
Sure but not in the same way as a Souls game where the difficulty is renowned. The older games were built more on their story than the brilliant combat or gameplay.
Venice was the best, the one with da Vinci was it? Best if the series I'd reckon, I did love being a pirate aswell though in black flag.
Still couldn't get my hands on one...
Had a problem with my PS5 yesterday.
I had played it earlier on in the day, shut it down properly, then went to turn it on later in the night and it's done this before, it had a solid white light on the console. Now I thought it just hadn't fired up so I pressed the power button again, then it went to a solid blue light but my TV was still saying nothing was connected to the HDMI port. I took out the plug, waited 60 seconds and tried it again and it completely reset itself, wiped everything off the console. Like I say, this has happened before but on turning it off and on again, it fired up properly.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was the cause and what was the solution?

Did you check your HDMI connection as well as do a power cycle? Could be the cable acting up if you're not getting a connection.
I unplugged the power cable, waited 60 secs then plugged it back in. I didn't try and change the HDMI cable as it's the one they provided so I assumed it would be fine and it worked fine after the PS reset itself.
I saw online that one of the ways to fix it is change the Video Output Settings on Safe Mode but didn't get the chance to get it into Safe Mode.
It's just strange for it to be playing up like this as I've only had it 3 months.
After all my moaning about Valhalla I've just had a moment of joy.
Some dudes arguing about music, bishop didn't like some bloke playing drums cos it was devil music. Had a fight with bishop so drummer bloke could play, as bishop was leaving drummer boy starts banging his drum and singing "smack my bishop"

Always worth checking around 9am
Sadly the leak is true. Fecking Tennis, Plants vs Zombies and Hunters Arena (looks decent tbf).
Grim. Won't be renewing for this month.
Seriously though, its cool that you know someone involved with the game. I've been a big fan of Ember Lab since the Majora's Mask video they did five years ago and Kena looks stunning. Hope they transition well to making games. The bits I've seen look great bar minor things like lack of idle animation for the main character.I’ll forward that on to him
There really was no way that post wasn't gonna backfire.I’ll forward that on to him
I was enjoying Plague Tale, but now I’m at a part (Chapter 16) where guards are coming from in front of and behind you, while others are firing arrows. All of them can kill you in one hit, and the aiming mechanics are horrible, and if you miss any of them you don’t get a second chance to hit them.
I’ll try again tomorrow, but I may be ragequitting this one.

Yeah it's pretty cool.
He posted this before saying he did the set dressing. Not 100% on what it means but he's essentially a 3D environment artist.
Why do they even bother with release dates anymore? They delay fecking everything.
It's like watching American sports, feck all kicks off on time.
Mid pandemic? I would assume delays everywhere.
Bugger off
pandemic is just an easy excuse now, even before the pandemic game studios were constantly delaying stuff.Ffs
Beta users will be able to expand their internal storage soon: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-install-m2-ssd/#min
Why no 2K resolution?
Shame you can't change the colour on the light of the PS5. Bit stupid you advertise blue lights on it only to be white most of the time.
Received an invitation to the beta, don’t know whether to risk it.
OK I installed it. Will have a proper play around later. Much prefer the new trophy layout
That looks so much better. Also, I approve of the Returnal platinum humble brag.OK I installed it. Will have a proper play around later. Much prefer the new trophy layout
Thank christ they went back to verticalOK I installed it. Will have a proper play around later. Much prefer the new trophy layout
Why are you getting special treatment, honestly.
I started playing Doom, and wow, this brings back memories. I'm just in the first couple of missions, but it's so reminiscent of the 90s Doom. This is the kind of game I love, no story, no drama, just keep shooting and slaying demons!
Yeah, really good game. I keep meaning to go back and finish it.
I still enjoy playing the 90’s one.
