Join the movementWell, I’m currently on the weeklong PlayStation 5 boycott. I’m still very annoyed about Sony stopping making discs and want to make my voice heard.

I’m lucky enough to have an Xbox Series X and Switch, as well as the PlayStation 5, so I’m sure I’ll find something to play.

I only bought the PlayStation 5 about a year ago. I rather think if Sony had announced the ending of discs before I’d purchased the console I don’t think I would have bought it.

I hope there’s other readers of GC who are doing the same boycott, as well as a good number around the globe.DB

First impressionsI played The Duskbloods network test over the weekend and I was pretty impressed. Before I get into it, I will say that in terms of graphics it’s very good. It basically looks at least as good as Elden Ring and I don’t think anyone would guess it was a Switch 2 game if they just watched a video. I’m sure if you analysed it and whatever you’d know but I was impressed.

At first the game seemed to be a bit of generic From game, with the monster that beats you in the first few minutes, and the basic controls and everything. But I started getting into it and I really like the jumping, which is very extreme.

It’s quite complicated in terms of the rules but then so was Elden Ring Nightreign, so I’m sure it’ll find its fans. I don’t know if I’ll buy it, but I’m interested.Munson

Worse case scenarioI don’t know what new to say about these GTA 6 leaks except: wow! I have never seen this happen with any game ever. I’m sure there’s been a few things, like the Marvel’s Wolverine hack, but this is on another level completely.

On the one hand you’d expect ‘fans’ to make the most effort for the biggest game, but on the other hand you’d expect Rockstar’s security to be absolutely watertight. And apart from the hacks a few years ago, which didn’t really say much, it has been.

Now though… I mean who knows what will have been announced by the time you read this?! I would love to be a fly on the wall at Rockstar right now because they will be absolutely furious, they will be through the roof. And I can’t blame them to a degree, because this really isn’t the way we would should be learning about this stuff.JohnsonPS: If this happens to the Zelda: Ocarina Of Time remake, I think Nintendo will just cancel it then and there, they won’t be able to cope with a leak like that.
