Guardians is worth playing solely for Drax and rocket exchanges during the game. Honestly, some of the things Drax comes out with are hilarious and the only game i've actually laughed out loud

Could do with some more courses, 3 doesn't seem very much for a golf based game. Golf Story had 8.

It does look like each hole/course will have a lot going on, which might be why there's not that many, but for £30 i'd be hoping for more replayability on the courses. I guess the idea is to sell more as DLCs

@Fenbops I don't think FO4 deserves the amount of criticism it received. The biggest issue for me was having a voice for the main character which very likely affected the dialogue choices/branching.

Hopefully they are taking their time and getting this right. I'd be happy to wait longer and get something that resembles a complete game vs something that looks like it's been thrown together by a developer for a demo and then the team leads decided that they'd just roll with it.

Ended up biting the bullet (and also getting a bit of luck) and bought a Series X, so i'm not too concerned now that this isn't coming to the PS5. I bought a Series S to play anything that wasn't PS5 bound, but a game like Starfield would be massively limited on the Series S compared to the X. Thought that i'd probably save money in the long run by getting an X now and selling the S while it's still worth £200+ second hand, than waiting a year and getting less.

@gollumb82 I use internal for newer and optimised games, I have a USB C SSD that I use for playing non optimised games/older games and a HDD plugged in for everything else (storage mainly, not playing)

I tend to just download games I think I might play at some point and chuck it on the 5Tb HDD, and when I want to play i i'll shift it to either the Internal or the external SSD, depending.

I'd say until there were a load of huge games that require internal storage, there's no real need for it yet.

Its been that price (ish) on Amazon for months.

Imagine calling yourself an "influencer". What an egotistic, ironic title to give yourself.

No Micromachines or Fantastic Adventures Of Dizzy? As someone who doesn't really enjoy racing games, i;m not hugely excited about this news!

@wazza99999 Can I claim money from my insurance if it's delayed past a certain point??

@PhhhCough The PS5 comes with a stand in the box because the bloody thing doesn't sit properly on it's "belly". Not sure who came up with that design, but it's horrendous. Mines actually needs fixed, it's came off the stand and rocks.

@Carck 100% should also work as a speaker. Buy two and you've got stereo.

@NEStalgia Really can't agree with most of that.

Uncharted 1 was a fantastic game, and the series as a whole is brilliant.

And you are really doing TLOU a massive disservice. There's a massive difference between watching a movie and playing in a game that has a good storyline akin to a movie. You are part of it. You're playing the main characters, you're invested in them in a way that a movie can never capture. The gameplay, in my opinion anyways (and a lot of others considering the sales/reviews etc), was pretty tight too.

All opinions of course and you're entitled to yours, even if we disagree haha

I have played quite a number of games that are just simply animations hidden behind the odd button press. I don't feel that the above two are quite in that area though.

I played through FF9 not that long ago and felt that it was very much hand holding for the majority of the first few hours, so it's nothing new.

@pip_muzz I never got the hype with GOW. I found it to be cumbersome, slow and a bit boring. It was no HZD or TLOU

I'm happy to see Xbox developing more adventure story games, it's one of the main reasons i've stuck with PlayStation since PS1. I think it's good for the consumer if Xbox are challenging Sony in this area. It's good for xbox, it's good for Sony to have that challenge and it's good for us because we'll, hopefully, reap the rewards.

The SSD and loading times is worth the money alone! I found that a bigger game changer than 4k graphics tbh. The ability to just fire up the xbox/ps5 and start playing within 60 seconds is amazing, especially if your game time is limited.

@elpardo1984 You've many other problems if you're spinning in a flight sim!

It is VERY difficult to be excited about a game that's not going to come till 2023.

Blaster Master is a, erm, blast!

That's great for people with decent internet, which in a lot of the UK is still not as many people as it should be (and i assume elsewhere too). I'd be all in for this if I had at least 100Mb Fibre, rather than averaging around 20Mb!

What I don't want to happen is for offline gaming to disappear and you never own your games. It's already almost that way with TV, with Netflix, Prime, Disney etc etc and Music with Spotify, Amazon Music, Youtube Music etc.

@papahefe so nothing specifically about Oddworld. Gotcha.

Stop being a hypocrite. "Sony fanboys are the worst" yet all you've done here is "stir the pot", as you've put it, by trying to one up them with this "amazing seeing them backpedal" and "one less exclusive to brag about" etc.

Don't let it bother you. You don't have to dislike one because you have the other.

@papahefe Feel free to show me "many" people bragging about Oddworld being an exclusive. And also why it's hilarious.

@papahefe you need to get out more if this is hilarious. And i doubt very many people would have been bragging about this game being an "exclusive" either.

Never completed it. But will play through it when the next gen version comes out. (if it's a free upgrade, I will not be buying it)

The "reason" they made a new one is £££££. They are milking this cow dry.

Not sure what to put for that Poll. I had a 360 many moons ago, but haven't had an another Xbox till the Series S, so am I 1-2 years, or the 11-15 one?!

@BundyDanger The Game Session state is stored on the SSD anyways, so you could in theory have your machine off for months and be able to go back in.

I've had issues with games not resuming or just starting up as normal, but generally it's been a great feature. Similarly the Rest Mode on the PS4/PS5, but that's only 1 game at a time.

Literally just downloaded Alan Wake not that long ago, days before they announced it was leaving. Typical. There's no way i'll have time to complete it either before then

if they removed the weapon breaking system, i'd have loved the game. I didn't enjoy that aspect of it at all, I ended up hording decent weapons and hardly using them in normal fights, incase I lost it. Hopefully it goes in botw 2, otherwise I might not bother.

Lego Batman! Thats made it good for me as i've been looking to play one on the xbox for a while.

I was planning on getting one when the next gen consoles were out, to catch up on Xbox exclusives i'd missed over the years, but when I found out the price of the Series S, it didn't make sense to go any other direction than get the Series S.

@TuckNorris85 haha yeah, its typical really.

I bought 12 months gold and was hoping to use the £1 Game Pass conversion, but doesn't seem to work. So ended up with £10.99 and says it will be that next month, so think I might just leave Game Pass till I have completed the games I already have and then sign in at a later date. Not paying £15 a month on top of the PS+ that i've got too!

Eugh, I literally bought Prey, Fallout NV, Oblivion and Morrowind a few months ago! I have Fallout 4 on PS4/5 as well.

There's a window in the background. WINDOWS 10 COMING TO XBOX

I bought my xbox series s to compliment my PS5, so this isn't a huge shock or issue. I've never really been a massive fan of the xbox exclusive games, that's where PLaystation have trumped it. I do love that the xbox consoles have been backward compatible though, and that's basically why I bought one. So I could play all those games that my PS4/PS5 couldn't, like Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect (originals, the remake/remastered version will obviously be PS5 compatible), Splinter cell games and older Elder Scrolls games.

Couple that with GamePass, the ability to play next gen games, even at a lower performance and I think it's great value for money.

@StonyKL yeah thinking the same thing. You can already play pretty much everything within the Xbox Series S for £250.

@NEStalgia Same. If it's not something you can generally do in a normal run through, i'm not interested. It's not like you gain anything from the achievement either, like a better weapon or an upgrade or whatever. Just some numbers and a digital trophy that i'll never look at again.

I've far too many games to play without worrying about trying to 100% each one especially if it's a long game and i'm already getting to the point where I just want the damn thing to finish.
