Just gave the Extreme GPs another go and what do you know...first try. Being sober makes all the difference

Don't go back. It's a game you either love or hate. And you seem to hate it, so move on.

Yeah, 90% of the corners require drifting, and you need to drift to gain boost. On Expert that is mandatory. And you need to use your boost strategically. It's not that easy. But I like drifting in games, which is why I'm having fun. I guess the game's not for you, then, as it relies heavily on drifting. Edit: I'm just gonna say "drifting" again: DRIFTING!

I'm inebriated, so take this with a grain of salt (to the Tequila), but I like it. Been going for the most difficult trophies (that is win all 4 GPs on the hardest difficulty and win a GP on the hardest difficulty with all drivers) these last two hours and when I was 100% sober, it wasn't too bad. I actually liked the rubber banding. It made for some pretty intense racing and finishes. Now...not so much. I still need to win with three drivers and I cannot for the life of me get it done. Much to the amusement of my friends sitting next to me I don't know what it's like on lower difficulties, but as it stands now: I thoroughly enjoy it. The driving/drifting is perfect.

Don't drink and drive, people. My performance on Hotshot Racing has declined rapidly in the last two hours.

If I may interject: I'm a wuss when it comes to the horror genre, but I had no problems with both TLoU games. A few shock moments here and there, but they are really not that intense. It is creepy, though. Some sections get very tense.

Oh nooooo, the clunkiness will probably annoy me a bit when I start my Ape Escape journey later today

First game with the new PS+ sub: Minit Short, old-school Zelda-style adventure with a 60 second time loop. A solid 7/10.

Fair enough. But it would be worth it, if the service just had 3-4 games you haven't played, yet, which would cost 15-20 bucks each You can't tell me you've played all of those

Personally, I don't give a shit, but the people complaining should be pleased.

Will you stay subscribed to Essential? If so, wouldn't it make sense to upgrade to Extra for 40 bucks more a year? And depending on the classic PS1 games coming at certain times, upgrade to Premium for a tenner that particular month? I know you prefer actually buying games, same as I, but there's no denying that it's ridiculous value given the amount of games on the service.

Classics: Ape Escape Syphon Filter Wild Arms Probably going to play Ape Escape first. And when I'm done with that and Nexomon: Extinction (so probably in a few weeks ) there's gonna be something from the list I made: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Balan Wonderworld Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon EVERY BUDDY! Concrete Genie Cris Tales Death Stranding: Director's Cut Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age Ghostrunner Killzone Shadowfall (+ Intercept) The Wonderful 101: Remastered South Park: The Stick of Truth South Park: The Fractured but Whole Hotshot Racing Indivisible Minit Saints Row: The Third Remastered Greedfall Got enough to try out the service until January and decide probably in November/December whether I'm going Extra or Premium

Bought it, played it for a few minutes and it already improves so much on the first game. It's great

Having one will be even better
