Gaming PlayStation 5

Yeah I guess so, but I still find it fecking weird that someone would go through the trouble of getting their hands on a PS5 in the first year (we all know how difficult that has been) and then go on to play loads of Fifa on it. :lol:
Yeah... I mean who would do this? :nervous:
 
Isn't it bankrolled by Tencent? They must spend hundreds of millions a year making it stay relevant.

Think they own a 40 percent stake in Epic who are obviously the developers of the game.

They're the world's largest gaming company, I think. They seem to have their fingers in multiple pies throughout the gaming industry.

They're the Western face of the CCP.

Yeah, quite insidious what they're doing just reading a bit about it. Buying small stakes (or big in some cases) in multiple publishers and developers around the industry. Doesn't seem all that great, to be honest!

They're undoubtedly data mining and feeding info back to their masters behind the great firewall.

It's hard to say what exactly they're involved in, but if you look into how they're basically turning China into Minority Report it's fecking scary.
 
You may aswell give up gaming if you are gonna worry about Tencent, they are everywhere.

That's a fecking stupid stance. Obviously I'm not going to give up gaming because of the insidious nature or Tencent and by extention the CCP. But to just stick your fingers in your ears about it doesn't help either.

They are getting more of a foothold in the western world and while you'd hope the governments in these countries would eventually intervene, they are up to no good.

How would you like it if eventually Tencent's facial recognition software was used by devs over here to kick you off games when you look tired? It's an extreme example but it could theoretically happen.

You ain't gonna stop it so i wouldn't worry about it.
 
Dying Light 2 in a month. Hopefully that's good. Been quite disappointed with most of the PS5 games so far.

Not next month, it was delayed to February 2022 a while ago. I'm still very suspicious of that game, considering its development hell and the fact we haven't seen that much of it so far. Loved the first one but I'm keeping my expectations very much in check here.

Oh ffs :lol:
 
Currently enjoying the Elden Ring closed network test - one of the best game i have ever played!
 
I wonder when we will find out if Returnal will be at a good price for Black Friday. I realise Black Friday itself is a specific date, but you normally get the sales on PSN several days ahead of this
 
Just managed to pick one up on Amazon this morning (all gone now btw). In two minds whether to keep or sell it, but going to have a look at games this evening which will steer my choice.

Yeah I saw that. It was BS that it's only available to Prime members. Also costing €530 not including delivery. Feck that. I'm trying to score one for a friend but no luck.

Also apparently Tesco are doing R&C for £25.

Guardians of the the Galaxy is going to be £35 on the PS Store, apparently. I'll probably grab it for that price.
 
2021 has not been a great year for releases has it. Have got Hades planned for Christmas and that's all.

Roll on 2022. As well as the new games coming out i'm hoping Bloodborne gets a PS5 upgrade. Witcher 3 and CyberPunk are getting theirs next year so I can hope.

I am on with Hades at the moment, I think it’s fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too.
 
Bah no returnal on sale?

I've seen rumours on reddit it'll be 30% off, but that is one game that is worth the full price.

Far Cry 6 is currently £40 on amazon. I know it's the same shit as the last 3 with a new lick of paint but I always enjoy them.

Torn whether to get that or see if Guardians of the Galaxy does get a big discount as rumoured.
 
If ratchet gets a big discount I would take the plunge on it. Really if I’m being sensible I shouldn’t buy anything as I still have a long back log to get through, but when am I ever sensible.
 
PS5 is not worth getting atm if you've got a ps4. Only Elden Ring is worth looking forward to atm. None of the games so far are must haves.

If you like Elden Ring then the Demon Souls Remake is a must have, its incredible.

Already have but played the original to death. Remake is good but they could have made so many improvements beyond graphics
