Cool.

Just got in and my copy has arrived. I've got some work to do but will install it and hopefully play it later.

The extreme close-up sequence :lol: . That joypad, too... you've got the model that swaps the dpad and stick into an Xbox-style :o . How do you find using it, Venom?

I was trying to convey the epicness of it all! :D
The pad really is great for me. I much prefer the Xbox controller for comfort as it's a better fit for my hands and I don't get trigger finger pain from it. It doesn't have a light bar or speaker which is fine. But is criminally missing a headphone socket which I like to have for late night use. I hope Sony go on to make their own version.

Mine has arrived :D :D :D
Holy gooseberry fool, after only an hour or so this has fully sucked me in. Just be aware, this is not a button masher, unlike its predecessors, which arguably were.

How would you compare the combat to the likes of Bloodborne/Dark Souls?

My Smyths copy is still sitting in South Midlands Mail Centre, according to Royal Mail Track & Trace. :( Not sure it'll even get to me tomorrow.

Hm, it has similarities, but feels a bit "fairer". I have it on the hard (not hardest) setting and it is challenging.

Glad to hear it, never been much for hack n smash games, and Bloodborne style can can be too frustrating at times.

Sounds fun yet methodical.

So after all the bragging and praising of PS4's big metacritic scoring game you didn't even pre-order one yourself? Hilarious :slol:

Considering I'm spending most of April living in hotels I'd barely have time to play. Hopefully I'll get BOTW out of the way and this will be next.

This has completely sold out at Amazon. Not often that happens is it?

There is something going on with Sony and Amazon.

Decided to hold off buying this until later. Too many games on the go and I've couple of bills to pay.

Don't worry I'll play it for you ;)

Charging my gold headset, as much as I need sleep I really need to give it a quick try before bed :shifty:

I played a little bit. It starts of kinda slow but the first 'boss fight'... It's an epic superhero fight. Wow! So beautifully polished.

Eurogamer had a story that other PS4 titles are not available so they speculated that there may be a business disagreement.

That's where I've just left it at after finishing that fight. Epic as strawberry float, it's bleeding stunning to look at :datass:
