I really feel bad for @Tea and the rest of Nexus staff. Can't think that delays are nice for them. Especially the great lengths NexusHub goes to, to get these physical releases for us.

I'm just grateful that NexusHub manages to get hold of these niche titles that I love so much. We'd be screwed otherwise

Just saw the news about Control Resonant - really sad, but that's the state of SA shipping I guess.

What does this alternate version look like exactly?

Sony's decisions has slowly eroded my faith in the company but there's not much recourse given the state of tech these days. I'm likely riding the PS5 gen into the sunset because PC parts keep going up and up and the PS6 is definitely going to have a disgusting price tag. So I'm mostly just enjoying games where I can. I'm not buying GTA6 but I did buy Phantom Blade and I'll likely double dip for the physical.

Not to say people shouldn't vote with their wallets, because that's ultimately what everyone should do. But at this point in time, I'm more worried about AI. I don't think I can even care about Sony lol

@Haseo

I think Sony is going to get a reality check. They know that physical stills sells very well outside of America the Land of the Fat.

Putting all their eggs in 1 basket with the American market is going to blow up in their faces. I have quite the choice words on how I feel about Sony.

But I am sure @Tea will have a heart attack reading what I would post on the chatbox. But Sony has lost my business forever.

But we'll see what the NO PHYSICAL NO BUY guys do when GTA6 release day comes. I bet most of them will be the hypocrites they are and buy it.

What I can tell you is that Hellraiser Revival became on of my favourite games so far I've played this year. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. I liked it so much that I replayed it straight after finishing it.

@Cathal Think some ppl are going to get a big surprise.
& rumors are that when the online mode does hit, it will cost extra to play.

Far Cry 6
Wanted to start Crysis, but hasn't arrived yet.
Started FC6 so long, & on base PS4 it looks damn good!!
Game looks quite big.
One glitch found so far. Certain guns don't want to fire. Turns out its a glitch on the PS4, with the R2 trigger button.
Easy fix, just remap the triggers buttons, with the bumper buttons.

Far Cry 6
Took a week to get the controls just right, but everything seems to be working now.
25hours in, & about half way. Game is a lot of fun, interesting main & side missions. SO many weapons, but you end up sticking with what works.
Just watch out for those damn crocodiles!!

Final Fantasy Type O HD

TBH if they follow the serious story of FF Type Zero for FF16 I would be game! Open the game by killing not just Chocobo but a Moogle Village please! Dark Yes, but what an impacts on the story! Only now, after finishing FF13/13-2 & Snotling Returns, Only now realize the FF Type O fits into the 13 crystal story.

with Dragon Quest 12 already being more serious and FF16, think we are going to get to the dark ages soon!

Currently playing Hotwheels Unleashed, a lot of fun considering I do not really play racing games. Also playing Death Stranding on PS5

Far Cry 6
About 34hours in, level 11.
Big game, considering I finished FC5 in 31hours.
Side quests are a lot of fun. Treasure hunting & Yaran stories.
Music is great, Ricky Martin Livin La Vida Loca lol
AI is also pretty good.

Far Cry 6
After 36hours & 77% complete with the story, I encountered a game braking glitch.
Game just does not want to load on start up, PS4.
Loads for a while then gives error message.
Tried everything, checked online, but no luck

Fun game, would have liked to have finished it.

Ruined King: A League of Legends Story - This was a shadow drop, picked it up last week and finished it yesterday, loved Battlechasers and love Joe Mad's art style so this was a couple that with it's price and it was a no brainer. 58hrs to complete and loved every minute of the game.

Fun but needs patches, if it hasn't got already.
I see they have released an Enhanced Edition as well.

WWE 2K19
Phenomenal

Great career mode!
Great Show Case mode with Daniel Bryan. One or two noticeable matches missing though.
Towers Mode, like MK. & Universe Mode, but I don't play that.
Create mode is good, but could have more options.
Controls take a while to get used to, like any WWE game. Load times are a LOT better though.
The roster is the selling point, as half those guys are now gone.
Game also works, yea I'm looking at you 2K20.

Dying Light

So finally pulled the plug on playing this game... WOW! this is fun! Story isn't bad but the gameplay is the clincher. Parkour is really great but this is good! Going to play Co-Op with a friend!

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
Great game!
The no stamina bar helps a lot. The grappling arm & stealth kills also make life a little "easier".

It's amazing right!
Finished up NG5+ and platted the game. How far are you? Please read up on Shura ending and how to achieve it, I made the mistake and had 1st playthrough end in Shura ending... makes you miss the 2nd half of the game...

Still at the beginning. Theres a troll blocking a gate. His reach when he grabs you is quiet long, & then you die.

If you are talking about the Ogre that's chained to the posts with a stock on his neck? (such a pain and no blocking or deflection helps. those kicks and arm slams are a pain! Even on later parts of the game and NG+'s They are a pain to deal with! Brute strength can win but if this is your 1st run, its tough! How adept are you in souls games?

There is an old lady standing inside of a broken pagoda, talk to her and she will give you a bell. take the bell to sculptor and pray at the Idol. Item in fire

(sorry if this spoils it, but the bloody ogle is one of the 1st reasons friends gave up on the game)

Already moved on lol
I just mess around with Souls games.
I want to at least give them a go, & see what they are like. Bloodborne, Nioh & now Sekiro. Didn't like Nioh though.
Will try Elden Ring at some point as well, love open world games.

Cools! I have to say Sekiro is at the moment my number 1. The fact it's a story with more focus on story and character then the more open ended Bloodborn/Souls series. Bloodborne is nice and fast and with the more offensive then defensive and you can get so lost in the Chalice Dungeon. Platted both Sekiro and Bloodborne.

Same! Nioh was more Ninja Gaiden then souls. Liked them but Souls is better. Looking forward to get into Elden Ring... Have you tried The Surge?

The open world in Elden Ring has the same Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild idea for me. Putting some other world games to shame...

Or for a more "lore" medievil vibe you can also do Lords of the Fallen. but it's slower and allot more Jank... The Surge 1 (the digital collectors with all the DLC is always on sale and super cheap) Tried 2 but went open ended story and lost me. Found number 1 much better

And remember about Code Vein. Anime Souls... not bad but the Surge is better!

Elden Ring - I'm not sold on the whole open world thing yet, I prefer the more streamlined way Dark Souls did things with branching paths but will see how I feel on that as I progress. It still feels like a Souls game and you can start with an Uchi so I already had my end game weapon anyway
