Just looked to see what you mean and no, I've not touched anything and there's nothing in my purchases. Maybe cos I had all 3 ps plus, ea play and ps now they've combined them for me or something?

PS Plus has changed and PS Now is dead. If you had both you're now part of PS Plus Premium, which comes with a shitload of new games

and if you have it on Auto-renew like most people when it renews you will get charged £99 instead of £49!

Eesh I'm not paying £100 for this once it's done, I've got most of the added games already cos they're always in the sale.

I had a message today telling me to check it out.

Didn't bother, but I might if the library is good

The Steam Deck is pretty good actually.

Currently finding it amusing that the money grabbing bean counters that produced Gran Turismo 7 did an update last week that accidentally allows you to repeatedly win loads of stuff that they try and charge you for. Plus it’s the weekend so they appear to be getting rinsed before they can patch it.

Quick. Log on to GT7!!!

Have been. I’m about 10 million up in parts, cars and cash!

Getting to the point now where Horizon Forbidden West makes me want to throw the controller through the TV every time I play it.
I know most aren't having the problem so it must be me, but she just constantly gets stuck in random places. I will be fighting a robot and need to run in to some space, but next thing she's stuck on the spot and it thinks she's trying to climb a mountain. The stick won't move her, and the robot just beats the shit out of her until she dies.

Wait, a full-price game is monetised? Pay to win or aesthetics only?

I finished Horizon Forbidden West. Didn't do all the sidequests but did enough to make the final battle fairly easy without getting completely sick of fetching & carrying for people. Enjoyable. I'm not sure I need to play the inevitable sequel, but we'll see.

I'm now sitting at home with suspected COVID, so have upgraded to PS+ Extra. I've downloaded Returnal and Shadow of the Colossus so I guess it'll be one of those next

I played a few hours of Horizon 2 and I just have no desire to play anymore of it. It's just too samey and feels like a game of the last generation.

Good luck with the suspected Covid.

Shadow of the colossus is a straight 10/10 game.
