Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Started Valhalla on Tuesday then promptly got the urge to play GOW 2018 the very next day. Hadn't played it since 2018...

Got Sonic Frontiers today and played for a good 3 hours or so and have had a great time with it. It's a lot of fun just blasting around as Sonic with little interruption now that hes finallygot the room to stretch his legs, I don't think the pop in is as bad as some have made it out to be and even the story is pretty good. Certainly the most fun I've had with a 3D Sonic for some time

Gotham Knights on and off…
Working through Kingdom Hearts 2 as well…
Need something new though so maybe Sonic or Control next

@Kairu Same here....working full time seriously limits my gaming. I'll be lucky if I finish Ragnarok in time for Callisto Protocol on December 2nd.

@KidBoruto @Kairu I have all next week off… it’s gonna be frikkin’ glorious!

@Kairu 🍻

Just clocked The Artfull Escape. Playing Grid Legends on and off. Good fun. Next up, GOW.

@RogerRoger Real glad it has turned out OK. It is definitely on my gamedar now, and it is a question of when and not if that I'll be getting it.

@RogerRoger Oh well, there goes any credibility RogerRoger has. Time to put him on ignore since he's obviously just a fanboy that would play any Sonic game.

Seriously though, I do plan on playing it someday. I used to be a big Sonic fan, which is why I never bothered getting any Nintendo system after the original NES. I have played a minimal amount of Sonic games since the Genesis though. Maybe by the time I'm ready to play it, which will be sometime deep into next year, it will be more polished and obviously much cheaper.

@RogerRoger When I read the very positive review the other day I was really happy. Not because I have any plans to ever play the game for myself, but I was so happy for you because I know how important the franchise is to you. I’m thrilled you agree with the accolades the game is getting. Maybe this will be another special case where we get a RogerRoger exclusive review on the review thread.

@RogerRoger Good to hear it’s living up to (exceeding?) expectations. It’s on my wish list for a future sale!

As for me, I’ve started God of War (2018) prior to playing the new game eventually. Still holds up well and looks good, esp at 60fps.

When they patch in photo mode of course

I replayed HZD earlier in the year but still haven’t got to the sequel. That said, I’m more likely to play Ragnarok soon but will have a shortish game between the two.

On Topic, I'm finally starting Ragnarok today after some delays...hopefully will still have the story beat at least by the time Callisto Protocol releases on December 2nd.

@Kairu In a perfect world we wouldn't need to work at all.

I'd rather watch anime/cartoons, TV shows, and movies all day everyday while squeezing in time for gaming, manga, comics, and real books/novels.

Why do you think my username and avatar are the way they are? I embrace my inner child very openly.

In all seriousness though, being a kid kinda sucked too. We had less say/control in what we could do, and alot of homework depending on the grade/age.

@RogerRoger Of course. You are considered one of the best reviewers by a handful of people. If you had an account, your work is so popular you have roughly 10 followers on Twitter.

That's good to know that Sonic Frontiers is actually more polished than I thought for some reason. I will still wait though as I have no idea when I'd play it anyways with so many other games out or coming in the next several months.

@Kairu @KidBoruto That sounds Idyllic, I'd also eliminate the need for sleep so that you had even more time.

Don't know about being a kid again though. Both childhood and adulthood have their pros and cons.

God of War is insanely good. I was expecting a great game but this is on another level.

I picked up the Atari 50th anniversary collection and it's comfortably the best presented retro collection I've seen and should be the standard going forward. As for the games I still enjoy 2600 games but sadly there are many missing 3rd party and licensed ganes across its systems. That said the likes of Tempest 2000 and their arcade games are still fun to play.

The reimagined classics are probably the star of the show with Haunted House being a highlight for me as a kind of the original survival horror game, then VCTR-SCTR which rotates stages inspired by Asteroids and Tempest amongst others.

I'm also really enjoying Sonic Frontiers, currently on the third island and when I'm done I'll get stuck into Ragnarok

@RogerRoger im playing frontiers entirely in japanese with english subtitles , lol. RCS aint sonic to me.

I downloaded the FFXIV trial on an alt account so here I am back in Eorzea. It's still as fantastic as I remember although the xp boost is a little too much because I quite like the grind. Wish I could turn it off.
