I'm not typically (disliked all the uncharted games) but there's always exceptions. Even the original Last of Us was good but not fantastic in my eyes with too many Naughty Dog fans praising them regardless of the flaws, got tired of the same reused ladder puzzles etc. but was decent overall. The second game is better though and I play games like Demons Souls, Ni-Oh 2 and Sekiro mostly I'm decent at my tougher, loot based action RPG games.

I agree though, I play consoles more lately due to the ease of access to a bigger and better TV, I've always enjoyed controllers so play everything on it anyway with shooters and action games. Not many shooters lately though as I edge towards sci-fi so cyberpunk will be the first since Deus Ex (played all the Halo games too). Nothing wrong with you getting the Xbox if it fits your style and needs but I'm just pointing out that it's possible to miss the Xbox under this scenario so the M&S deal one seems a bit of a weird one for me. if Sony bought Bethesda they'd have people having to buy consoles, PSN subscriptions, DLC and other bits through them (tons of cross-sale potential). For Microsoft this certainly can happen like with yourself but there's also times like with me that I'd not be buying any of that and sure I'll buy the game but it just makes me surprised they can miss out on all that potential cross sale potential. If I had to buy a Xbox to play Elder Scrolls and they didn't release Halo elsewhere and they found just one or two other games then I'd be very very tempted to get an Xbox and they'd make bank. So not trying to insult the Xbox but just surprised on Microsoft giving such a low bar to entry and little profit from this sort of move. Can they make up the difference selling the games elsewhere? Maybe, but they surely are making their money back slower than Sony would have with all that cross sale requirement to get the games if they had bought it which is what makes me question this strategy.
You realise though, that Microsoft have effectively spent nothing on this acquisition? It is merely a movement between assets on their balance sheet, and they could effectiovely sell off all (or part) of the Bethesda group at a similar cost to how much they purchased it........Microsoft don't need to make any money back (as it has cost them nothing in accounting terms), they merely need to ensure they stay succesful to maintain market value.

Sorry, just a bugbear - people see the headline and assume it's a cost to Microsoft (largely as that's what the headline writer wants you to think), whereas the reality is very different. It's like buying a house - you might pay £500k to purchase, but you haven't lost that money as you could resell the house at any time and recoup your initial investment (less/plus any movement in market value during ownership).
 
Just noticed Demons souls PS5 has appeared on amazon today. £69.99 lol. Well got my order in anyway. For me personally thats an amazing launch game.

I already had a pre-order in from TheGameCollection for £5 less, however had put one in at Amazon too... hopefully the price drops lower (pre-order price promise) so I can cancel my TheGameCollection order.
 
So AC: Valhalla is showing December 31st for release of PS5 case copy as are Argos. Simplygames have it as the 12th :confused::confused:. EChat with Amazon and they confirm they have it as the 31st December.

Seems crazy.
 
Some interesting rumours for Metal Gear Solid has popped up today.

MGS1 is supposedly getting a Remake exclusive to PS5 and PC, Also MGS 2,3 and 4 getting the remaster treatment again for PS5 and PC.

Someone who is a Metal Gear fan boy, I do hope this is actually true.

Thanks for the heads up. I checked it earlier and it wasn't there. Pre-ordered though I am not happy with that price. Have to have it though. On my 4k TV it will be immense. Excited now!

My money would be on them delaying the PS5 version in the hope that people will double dip.

Makes no sense though as Ubi already confirmed PS5 would get a day one patch. It just irks me that I can get the PS4 case version but be playing PS5 version on the console. Ideally want that PS5 case for my collection. Same as CP77 I want a PS5 case version of that however, I know that is only likely to come out when CDPR do their big next gen update for it.

I loved MGS1, so will be interested to see how this goes........not sure it's the best title to rework, and worried it'll sully my memories of it, but if the reviews are good I'll be on it like a shot!
 
One of the plus points of the Xbox Series X is that games like Valhalla are through the smart delivery system, only one purchase needed.

Shame Sony can’t do similar.

I never finished Phantom Pain either. There was some awesome combat in that. I've been too addicted to Division 2 for any other game.
 
I'm going to pre order an xbox as well and decide which one to keep for launch. Im legit struggling to justify a ps5 at all after today.
I was going to preorder a PS5 as well but might wait till they are in stock next year only thing that's putting me off PS5 is the cost of the games and playstation now is rubbish compared to gamepass.

Yes that's the exact reason I ordered an Xbox too. Value wise PS can't get anywhere near currently, even if they included PS Now it wouldn't really touch the surface. The studio buyout is what tipped me over the edge.
