If you make a new account with a German address you can get Knack 2. Not sure it’s worth it but you can couch coop it if you have a kid I guess?

I've had mine be pretty much empty multiple times if I'm gaming for any length of time.
so I looked it up and 4-8 hours is what folk are quoting?! Other than using it as a vibrator I’m not sure how 4 hours is realistic but 8 hours really is a bit too low. I always felt it was more like 10-12 I’ve gotten which I’d totally be fine with. Maybe I’m just not as hardcore as I used to be :(

4 hours seems right going by my experience.

Sony Plans Limited PlayStation 5 Output in First Year...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... first-year
The Tokyo-based tech giant is limiting its initial production run in part because it expects the PS5’s ambitious specs to weigh on demand by leading to a high price at launch, the people said, asking not to be identified because the subject is private. The global Covid-19 pandemic has affected Sony’s promotional plans for the new device but not its production capacity, they added.

The company has told assembly partners it would make 5 to 6 million units of the PS5 in the fiscal year ending March 2021, according to other people involved in the machine’s supply chain. When Sony released the PlayStation 4 in November 2013, it sold 7.5 million units in its first two quarters.

Partly owing to TLOU 2 completely leaking over the weekend. The shit storm over that is crazy. Not just the leak but Naughty Dogs working conditions and the story in the game itself.

Naughty Dog have been in the firing line for poor working conditions a few times in the past too. There's very little that anyone can do to stop these huge studios getting away with it because their games are so successful.

I wasn't expecting Ghosts of Tsushima to come out this generation. Hopefully it'll live up to the hype from the initial announcement.

Previews since then haven't been that positive, sounds like it could be pretty standard.

I can't imagine playing Cities with a pad. And given the system limitations compared with the PC version I struggle to see any other appeal for it either. Farming Simulator is also a hard pass for me this month.

There was an 18 minute stream of a gameplay demo for Ghost of Tsushima released last night, and by "gameplay demo" I mean "demo that showed gameplay" rather than certain other companys' interpretation of the phrase.



It's still awfully pretty (the music is gorgeous too, apparently it's the same composer that did House of Flying Daggers), and seems to share some gameplay elements with Assassin's Creed, albeit with far less of the typical Ubisoft approach to open worlds.

It looked pretty but also very generic and some of the combat was AC 2 levels of janky. I'm sure it will be a fine game but much like Days Gone and Horizons it doesn't do anything new and interesting. Not good, not bad just OK and as someone who has had their fill of open world games I need a little bit more to get me excited. Nothing wrong with making a decent game mind and I'm sure it will make those who have been looking for a Samurai AC game happy.
