Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

I had to be at work at 5am this morning, so I got up around 3:30 and decided to give it a go before work. I managed to beat him. Funnily enough, I used poison on my polearm even before I saw your suggestion. I also drank a couple of potions: buck’s blood, Aesop (I think), and some schnapps. It was still tough, but I did it and that’s all that matters.

I booted up Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition this morning. It is a nice chill game to play in between bouts of Sekiro gaming, obviously it doesn't hold a candle to the latter but is some good, mindless fun. Just unlocked the second act. I also like the lite RPG elements, such as levelling up and being able to customize your character. Bustin' makes me feel good, so far.

@Jimmer-jammer stop yanking his pizzle!

Alan Wake 2 Deluxe edition, having alot of fun with the game and loving my time with it

@Ravix 🤣

KCD2 really is so good, 40 hours in and I've not even done the wedding crashers main quest yet, having too much fun thieving items and stealing horses!

Currently finishing off AC Mirage. Expecting to plat it this weekend.

Got a bit farther with Sekiro, got the first deathblow of two on a miniboss, the Shinobi Hunter of Hirata Estate, I am finding the game significantly easier the more I play it. Which is a real confidence boost. I feel like this potentially a real turning point in my playthrough.

Edit: Defeated him now.

I'm currently two days into nine days off work and I'm nearing the end of Trails through Daybreak II. Although I'm enjoying it, I'm really looking forward to finishing it so I can spend my time off playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Seems like the perfect game to play all week.

@Th3solution Since you previously expressed an interest in seeing how my Sekiro journey was going, I thought I'd update you, I've just defeated Juzou the drunkard, my eighth miniboss, and thus increased my maximum health and posture twice (You get an item from each miniboss, 4 of which are needed to increase your maximum health and posture once) and you get a trophy for raising it the maximum possible number of times (I am going for the Platinum.) There are ways of semi-cheesing bosses, but a minimum amount of combat is still necessary.

For this battle I was able to lure and then de-aggro the miniboss, then sneak up on him to take his first life (minibosses usually have two life bars) and then summon a nearby ally (not always available) to take his second life, the ally died during combat, unfortuantely, yet thankfully did not give his life in vain, because I was still victorious over Juzou.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Nice work! I have to admit that I hovered over the purchase button for Sekiro over the last few days since it’s on sale currently on PSN for $30. I haven’t pulled the trigger though, since I know that I won’t get around to playing it for a long time. DS3 and Elden Ring are still in the backlog. Also, I’ve collected all the other FromSoft games on physical disc so if/when I buy Sekiro I’d like to find it on disc to complete the set. I wonder if they’d ever consider doing a PS5 remaster on it.

@Th3solution Not much need, it apparently already runs at 60fps on PS5 and Series X and a near 4K resolution using checkerboarding.

@Hapless Ah yes, quite the "beast" isn't he? I actually got him, my first try. Summoning the ally and doing the sneak first deathblow were the keys to my victory. I like how he spits poison at you after drinking his 'Unrefined Sake' .Anyway, with regard to making you want to play again - nothing's stopping you, my friend!

@Th3solution It's quite a different beast to the Souls games, but I am enjoying it a lot more. Steeper learning curve, but more rewarding once you get the hang of it. How is RE4 REmake going?

Playing Robocop. It is decent but I can tell it is lower budget title, with some last gen looking graphics in places. The ray tracing looks cool though. The combat is very violent as it should be and a whole load of fun to play. Hopefully there are not too many sections where you have to stomp round paerts of Detriot, as that was a bit of a drag to play.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Going great, bud. I only played about 3 hours this weekend but I’m fairly close to finishing. My game clock might end up around 40 hrs to finish, which is a little long for this kind of game, but since there is only one playable character (as opposed to the other RE games that have multiple) I guess it makes sense. The gameplay feels good to play, so even though I’ve killed off hundreds of these infected by now, it’s no quite grown tedious.

Finished Trails through Daybreak II and now I can finally crack on with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. It's just me, the game and five days off work!

I'm a few hours into Alan Wake 2 and I think it's brilliant, although I'm definitely still not a fan of the horror genre in general (the dense atmosphere and jumpscares make me play it in shorter sessions than I would with an action game or something).
I was a bit surprised to find that the Night Springs DLC episodes are accessible from specific spots in the main game. What if you played the game at launched and finished it by the time this came out? Did you have to replay it?
I'm guessing they were just accessible from the menu in that case but that sounds less fun.

Currently playing Star Wars Outlaws, very high value production title, open world is excellent and I'm liking the transmogrification, thumb's up good job Ubisoft/Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, also big shout out to the audio team and Wilbert Roget II, great composition.
