That's quite a list before you even notice the sidenote about a further 300-odd unlisted. It's good that they're fixing it, but this must have been a trainwreck on release.

When it's stats and abilities, notably BG3, I can inadvertently spend hours tweaking before ditching everything and starting again. The creation and opening hours are usually the most fun for me. Cosmetic and aesthetic aren't of as much concern - I just roll with default Shep.

@RetroMan71 it's a big game. You can probably speedrun it quicker, but I took time to build motorways to help other folk playing. It's a genius concept with peoples' worlds interlinked, with stronger connections pulling more of each others' stuff across. Highly recommend. My favourite game of all time.

Amazing game. I spent hundreds of hours exploring it on my PS4, and I'm 100% down for doing it again on SX

@Tasuki correct. It'd have helped if I'd read the title properly 😆

The Souls series. My old geezer reaction times make them pretty inaccessible to me, despite them looking pretty cool.

@GuyinPA75 most of these issues were later patched. In its current state it's a very solid experience on Series.

Civilization VI
Persona 5
No Man's Sky

@GuyinPA75 Civ VI released in 2016. It's a fantastic game, sadly marred by crashing issues on console (at least in my experience).

I didn't enjoy this one as much as similar titles. That said, the price is pretty fair.

I've always worked on a £ per hour for value. That means if I'm paying £60+ for a game, I look for a similar number of (quality) hours' playtime.

@Krydle ESO is subscription free. You can optionally pay for ESO Plus, but you can buy the complete edition up to Necrom for peanuts and never pay another penny (unless you really need the craft bag)

Still Baldur's Gate 3 at the moment. I'll be at this one for a while.

Lots of heat over mere speculation. A lot of folk need to grow up, and fast.

Tales would be a great addition. It was excellent. Even better if they include the new expansion, but that's less likely.

I've always loved the AC games. Having the opportunity to wander realistic recreations of ancient lands is something special in itself. I just wish they'd ditch the modern day stuff outside of the Animus, and maybe shave a little off the size so it isn't a 140 hours+ investment.

Baldurs Gate 3 is now consuming my life. I had planned on playing the Dead Space remake but gaming time is in limited supply.

I save enough for the £5 credit and buy weird indie titles I wouldn't normally try. Discovered a few gems in the process.

I'm back on Kingdom Come Deliverance. I loved it back on release, and now I have the various DLCs to blast through.

Motorsport was a huge letdown, especially compared to the superior FM7. They sucked the fun out of it, so understandably folks switched to Horizon again.

Multiplayer? Nah. Too many people there. With all due respect, I'm gaming to escape y'all.

It's a beautiful, but generic beast so far. I don't know what I was expecting, but it kinda fizzled for me.

Between Forza and the Dirt games, I'm happy. I couldn't get into Gran Turismo. It looks good, but the menus suck and it feels stale.

That was a difficult choice, but i had to go with Oblivion. They're all stellar (not you, 76) and Starfield's a strong contender - the only reason I didn't choose it is the fact I haven't finished it yet.

Red Dead hands down. It has better pacing throughout.

Does anyone happen to know why Spongebob Squarepants: Underpants Slam isn't available in the UK store?

@sonicbooming I really enjoyed it. The intro has the same wow factor that Bioshock Infinite had back in the day. It isn't perfect, but an enjoyable experience if you put the time into it.

Not for me. This generation was never a significant enough step up, and half the promises didn't materialise in the end.

No. I use my holidays for time with my wife and kid. I'm never in such a desperate hurry to play new releases, especially now it's around a year before they're complete/patched.

@gollumb82 I'll second his opinion as an owner of both an Xbox and PS. He's right, albeit maybe in the wrong place to be saying it.

I can't wait for this. Been gaming since the 80s, so 30fps doesn't bother me one bit given the title's complexity. As a dev, I can't wait to see what they've squeezed out of the systems.

That's a fair size for a game of its scope. Not really a surprise.

I was, however surprised that they didn't target 60fps on Series X to entice people to upgrade ahead of release.

The first game's a powerhouse. I can't wait for more, and I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't had the chance to experience it yet.

It was also responsible for teaching me that many a poor sour drowns in water, and that wolves hunt in packs.

I saw some gameplay footage a couple of months back and it was already becoming pretty evident that it's honeyed shovelware. To the bargain bin!

@101Force well said.

I enjoyed this on release, but the stick shooting was undercooked. Hopefully this re-release will cover the issues.

@BrilliantBill I disagree. Mods serve a better, more fitting purpose. If all users are being asked to change a default setting, it's a testing oversight.

Why weren't optimised settings identified by playtesters prior to release? Are we close to the point where C# coding experience will be needed so you can fix the bugs yourself?

It just didn't hold my interest at all. The framerate was all over the place on my Series S in parts, and the jump animation felt really janky. Maybe patches will sort that out, but I won't be returning.

This is why I buy games months, or even years after release. Beyond the general lack of polish, there's the inevitable hype and controversy to wade through. Then there's the DLC. Wait long enough to buy the ultimate/GotY edition.

I was quietly hoping it'd return with a much needed FPS boost. It's a cracking game that deserves the special treatment.

Beyond Good and Evil 2? Really? If you dropped $17.99 a month until its release, you'd end up roughly $2.5 million down.

It's... meh. I waited a while to play it, and honestly wish I hadn't bothered.

I lost a 93 week streak, which isn't ideal.

Lost Odyssey and Brutal Legend are excellent deals. I'd love to see a decent remaster of both - or a sequel, moreso

I didn't mind Judgement, but I only casually play Gears games so I'd be less likely to spot inconsistencies a diehard fan would.

I've been enjoying it. I do wish they'd bring the install size down a bit, though.

Categorically, no! They can barely justify the existence of the current ones as is.

They've been a fantastic series of games, but where I want them to go next is into retirement.

@Tharsman you're right, ESO isn't cross platform. It's cross gen, though.
