Take your time, clear all rooms in all the biomes to gear up.

Try and heal using items as much as possible as if you're at full health then HP pickups turn into integrity upgrade Resins. This works really well if you clear the challenge rooms without picking up Silphium. In the first biome, warp back to your ship, sleep to heal and then run through picking up all the Silphium you left in every room, you'll get a big health boost.

Try not to open t...

Exactly, as I said in the article where that news broke, this moved the game from day one to bargain bin for me.

I like the look of it and want to play it but I won't support such a practice. I'm (seemingly) in the minority that doesn't mind paying £70 for a game - value is subjective and given inflation it's less than it was when I was a kid - but regardless of what I pay for a game, I'm not prepared to then buy content that should have already bee...

So, I guess the disagrees are from people who love playing Super Resolution Pixel Counter Fighters 5...

In that case, you'll love the new season pass, with 2 new fighters, 2 new stages and restoring the arcade mode from previous games that was left out because we thought that you were getting enough for your money already and more importantly, that we'd get away with cutting it and selling it back to you later. It's a steal at only £34.99. Plus, if you buy ...

Exactly, if I can see and shoot one of the bat enemies from across a chasm, resolution isn't a concern.

Personally, I'm glad I'm getting to enjoy playing Returnal. I could be wrong, but it seems to be a lot more fun than booting up Super Resolution Pixel Counter Fighters 5.

I agree. I wrote a comment some time back where I basically said that, in my opinion, chasing native 4K is a poor use of computational power and that I hoped developers would use the emergence and refinement of reconstruction techniques to push higher quality visuals, sound, scale and frame rate (I'm still okay with 30 for titles, depending on what they are trying to achieve).

I'm glad to see that developers aren't all blindly chasing the native 4K checkbox for ...

I will (and do) buy DLC, when it is clear that it is delivering content beyond the scope of the original vision for the game, or is a well crafted continuation of a narrative that has already had a satisfying conclusion.

This is neither. This is cut content and pressure selling.

I agree with Monkey, I will pay for the product when it is released, not before. An exchange of money for goods, not goods in potentia. I wouldn't buy half a car, with the re...

Looking forward to seeing what Housemarque can do with a bigger budget than usual. I like what I've seen so far.

1127d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

It's important to remember that this started with things like 79p for weapons skins, then it was new items, early unlocks/so called time savers, extra characters... Now it's content being held back and expansion passes to see the actual ending of some titles. It's snowflakes on a mountain side and I want no part in it.

I buy a lot of games, even though my backlog is extensive, partly through excitement and partly through a desire to support an industry that has ...

I mentioned to my wife just yesterday that I had been following this since it was announced and wanted to play it day one, even though there's no PS5 version yet.

Today though, today I think I can wait until it's under £20. I love video games and I really like the look of this, but I won't support this bullshit.

That's an interesting piece of information that I wasn't aware of, thank you. In the UK it's still up for pre-order at £70 at a few retailers, though admittedly the release date is still TBD.

"This also leads me to believe that they wont release the game separately from PS+ until they have the ability for you to earn the destruction coins by playing rather than paying for the people who would be paying a price for the game.

Basically...

This, combined with bots is causing havoc for getting the consoles in to the hands of genuine customers. I hope it doesn't damage install bases for games such as Destruction All Stars etc. and make them unviable.

I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a PS5 at release, mostly because I had registered my interest and paid a 1p deposit in March.

I actually ended up with 3 confirmed orders, from different retailers and had enough money saved up ov...

Me too, I bet Joel Miller is on the list thousands of times and we all know he's not eligible to vote anymore.

Stop the steal, right?

Just in case it's necessary... /S

Don't cross the streams.

It would be bad.

Okay, I'm excited for the PS5 and I fully support the concept of generations, but as a day one PSVR owner who then upgraded to the HDR passthrough model, I'll admit this is disappointing.

I totally understand the idea of drawing a line in the sand and moving to a newer, better version in the future (that controller video looked great), but they could have gone with a new box art badge of 'PSVR2 REQUIRED' or something.

I'll keep using ...

I haven't commented on next gen resolution and frame rates yet, as it doesn't interest me that much. I don't play twitch shooters, or fighting games etc.

I understand that 60fps is superior in 'feel' and response time, but personally I agree with you that from what I've seen, both on analysis sites and my own eyes, 1440p with checkerboarding is a much better use of resources than pushing native 4k.

I know I'll be in the minori...

I logged back in after very long time to reply to your comment. I completely agree; I've used Techradar for years as I found their reviews reliable.

Since the reveals of the Xbox Series and PS5 however, there have been multiple articles that do nothing but look for the negative on PS5 and praise/defend XBox without displaying any objectivity or journalistic integrity. It genuinely has me questioning whether they have accepted payment, or other, non-disclosable incentiv...

I didn't have a hard time making the decision to kill the surgeons. In fact, it never occurred to me to even consider sparing them, I had to find out about it later on here. Every time I have played The Last of Us I have killed all of them. I believe it is what Joel would do if he were real and it also aligns with what I feel I would do; rightly, wrongly, selfishly, whatever people want to call it. We all have an opinion on it and that's the beauty of such storytelling.

The Last of Us' Joel is more human than villain.
