Not good enough to go for the platinum, sorry. It was an entertaining game, but didn’t feel like doing all the side stuff. And wanted to finish Horizon Zero Dawn again before Forbidden West. Too much to do!
Got a tip for us?

Next-gen has finally arrived for me. My PS5 was collecting dust for most of its first year outside of Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank. Now Gran Turismo 7 and Forbidden West are taking all my time. Two magnificent games.
How are you finding GT7 compared with previous game? Do you like the cafe, progression and reward system?
This is my first GT since GT5, but I have very few complaints. I wish the reward system was less loot boxy but it does ruin the experience.
edit: oops. Meant doesn’t ruin

Unfortunately we have to accept that going forwards, games will have loot boxes, gambling mechanics, never ending micro achievements and rewards. I've been playing Forza Horizon 5. It's a magnificent game and I love it. However I sometime feel like there is a lot going on. The map is cluttered with a events(some are temporary) and you get rewards like money and cars chucked at you after every race/event.
I miss the days when games were simpler, allowing you to jump in without choice anxiety but also work your way up from an MX5/GTI towards faster cars.
I find the online requirement to be annoying, was working on license tests last night and my best time on one of the test was lost because the system thought i lost internet access (turns out you can clear the replay buffer which seemed to fix the issue for me).
I kind of understood Sony's approach of 'online only' with GT: Sport. It was a limited game. But with GT7 being a full-game, they really shouldn't have made the game online only. The outrage they received when the servers went down last week was definitely warranted.
Add to the fact that they reduced the loot for races, can't sell cars, and offer microtransactions. Yeah, doing too much. People would've dropped money on the game regardless.
I want to believe they'll make the necessary updates to the game and listen to the community. They did when GT:Sport released, I'm sure they want to do that with their newest release.
I'm enjoying it more than GT:Sport because of all the return of the original features the previous games. And I seem to have more patience to practice driving and tune my car the way I want.
Cafe is fun. It's kept me busy from Day one. I do wish that you had the option to sell your cars though.

So I played through Horizon Zero Dawn for the first time - great game, and I will most likely pick up Horizon Forbidden West as my next game. BUT, nothing has come close to topping The Last of Us 2 for me yet. That game has been the best ever for me - storyline, gameplay, the entire package was perfection.
I agree. For me, Naughty Dog made the 2 greatest games of all time in 1 & 2. I'll buy any and everything they make until I stop playing games.
Hopefully someone can help me out. I installed a Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB in the expansion slot. It works fine but here's the problem i'm running into. I moved all my games (disc plus digital) from my internal storage to the Seagate Firecuda 530. I reset the console and started over.
My games are on the Firecuda but I can't launch them because they don't show up on my Home Screen. Do I have to move them back to internal storage then move them again to the Firecuda?

I'm guessing when you reset the console you deleted all the associations to the game from the actual console itself, even though the game content/data is on the SSD.
Try moving one game back to the console and see if it runs. If not you may need to re-install them from discs or re-download them again?....
SO Ive starting playing through Horizon Forbidden West, and I dunno, I'm just not getting into this game. Played the first one through from start to end and felt the same. Don't get me wrong, the game is great in terms of gameplay, graphics, etc, but I'm just not enjoying it enough - I feel like I'm playing it for the hell of playing it!
May sell both parts on, and put the money towards Uncharted Remastered, or Ghost of Tsushima instead......

I haven’t played it, but some acquaintances have, and they usually have this same feeling towards Horizon. I was hoping the sequel was less “Ubisoft game”, but apparently it has the same level of item collection, map crowded with secondary objectives, and that generic and repetitive feeling we all know from Ubisoft sandbox games. But still, it is pretty and I will probably play it some day.
Yeah, I think selling it and getting Ghost of Tsushima is a great decision. And if you haven’t played the Uncharted series, you should really start with those, but just paying a month of PS+ will get you the PS+ Collection, where you can play the Uncharted Remastered Collection.
By the way, I’ve taken a look at your YouTube channel, and I think you are pretty good at it, congratulations.
I can't relate to these all all. I usually get bored to death with Ubisoft games but after 100 hours of HFW I am still really enjoying myself. The characters, stories, and activities have a lot of variety. The only thing I've gotten bored with are the rebel bases, which are too similar. Once you've done one you've done them all.
Just got a physical copy of Sifu the other day, havent tried it yet but excited to!
heard good things, and heard they recently released a patch with different difficulties if I find it too brutal

I would've played Ghosts of Tsushima instead of Horizon. The concept never interested me.
I was about to download Trek to Yomi, but reviews have said the gameplay is redundant. Bummer.
I thought the concept of robots and primitive people was so stupid but the story how it happened is really interesting and it makes sense. Tsushima is magnificent and I loved that also.
lol, thanks
You've hit the nail on the head with your description of Horizon. I dunno, maybe I need to give it more time, but it doesn't wow me the same as, let's say, The Last of Us 2, for instance. It's not bad, not by far, and I really want to like it, it's just the huge number of side quests and then the huge number or parts etc to collect - maybe just too overwhelming for my ageing brain! lol
Ive played the Uncharted series in the past on PS4, wouldn't mind another play through though - never heard anything bad about Ghost of Tsushima either - may make that my next game!
Yes I'm eyeing up the 'PS5 Directors Cut' version - I'll make that my next purchase for sure!
I'll most likely get to it when HFWest becomes a greatest hit and is on sale for $9.99 lol
