Took me about 3 months to beat Rebirth and I did not 100% it. I like big RPGs but don't have the free time I used to when I was single. So I take my time and play at my pace for max enjoyment.
It's more HZD Remastered for me. I'll try to sneak in some Unicorn Overlord as well. Im 91 hrs in and I want to finish it before MH Wilds drops in February.
I've all but given up on Sparking Zero, I still have it installed but not on the back burner, it's completely off the stove.
Honestly im beginning to regret my purchase. The online is impossible to enjoy that cheesy tactics by every other opponent. And the story mode (which is a highlight for me no matter how many times I'm replaying the same events. I'm playing A Dragonball game cause I like Dragonball) was very disappointing.
New DLC characters that are just new forms for characters already in the game (minus the Gammas) just isn't exciting to me.
And Diama has been boring me so I'm not interested in characters from that anime. 😪
@Nem My point was that GAMERS who say they don't want live service games still are the ones playing and spending money in live service games. Then will complain that Sony is chasing live services then be shocked when they actually listen to gamers and cancel those games.
@LogicStrikesAgain Yeah I'm not happy the time money and dev labour's was wasted but I'm glad they cut their losses here in stead of having 2 more Concords.
@themightyant Folding@Home on PS3 was great! I still have the music tracks that would play at different times of day/night. The world news feature thst added was really good time. Those were good times 😌
Welp I finally started HZD Remastered, you can definitely tell it's a 7 yrs old game (animations) but the improvements are really good. I'm still playing Unicorn Overlord and the occasional match in Sparking Zero though the online community in thst game is exhausting. Just gonna to get the 100 online matches trophy and call it a day with that game.
Actually getting back into * Unicorn Overlord* now about 77hrs in and the game just introduced like 6 new classes! Still hoping to start HZD Remastered before year's end.
Been a crazy week with 0 gaming. Hope tomorrow will allow me a few precious moments in Sparking Zero now that the patch is out. Was hoping to start Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered week after next but life if fully Life-ing.
This is overall great news! I'm hoping the split screen on all stages didn't come at the cost of performance or visual quality in non-split screen modes.
Life has been Life-ing so I haven't even played anything yet this week. I've conceded that this year I will break my 9 Year streak of at least 1 platinum trophy a year 😔. So Im hoping to just enjoy playing some Unicorn Overlord &Sparking Zero sometime tomorrow.
@Matroska To be fair they are counting Digital sale as well so the number I Japan is probably closer to 1.5 Million, meaning the rest of the world is only around 500K total. Spread across UK, Europe,USA, South America and Canada 500K isn't thst much.
Again not a knock on the game, the spread is just interesting.
That's great. I haven't played it yet but I probably will sometime next year. Just don't like this game being used as ammo by people against exclusives.
Seems we might be heading back to the PS3 era of "it's successful in Japan but a flop everywhere else"
I liked Foamstars, I've played 75 hrs of it. But I just said to yesterday to some friends thst I think I'm done with it. Seems I wasn't the only one. This game needed go multiplatform as well as f2p. But even then after a while you just kinda have your fill of it an move on. The Live service Curse is that you either catch gamers for the rest of thier lives or not at all.
Same old same old, Unicorn Overlord and trying to get the 100 online battles trophy in Sparking Zero so I can still maintain the delusion of platinuming it before January.
Wouldn't it be WILD if this turned out to be one of the rumored Horizon Multiplayer games and the leaker just assumed it was Horizon because it looks exactly like it! 🤣
More On Topic: if this is free for PS Plus I would honestly give it a try.
@LogicStrikesAgain @thedevilsjester Thanks for the clarification! 😃 I too am no fan of consolidation. I don't know the industry is going to get through these high budgets and expectations but I'll be there regardless.
I know the internet SAYS it would be OK with low budget shorter games but there really isn't much evidence to support that claim so I know the devs and publishers are between a rock and hard place.
This is a ridiculous notion and a clear sign they want Elden Ring DLC to win GOTY. Geoff has done alot for gaming and I respect him for that. But this is the last straw in my opinion.
I played about 12hrs and the hitstop adjustment are a IMPROVEMENT not negative. Makes the combat quicker. I much prefer it to World (went back to fight Furious Rajan right after the Beta ended so the changes were obvious) but its a good mix of World and Rise.
EDIT: Judging by the 21 other comments thus far we did not play the same beta. My experience seems to have been magnitudes better than most here. I loved it, changes and all. To each their own 🤷🏾♂️

@Gremio108 Might I suggest What Remains of Edith Finch, The Unfinished
Swan or Ether One ( this one isn't that great tho)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 555
Actually played a few matches of Foamstars yesterday believe it or not. But my main focus will be Sparking Zero/Unicorn Overlord this weekend.
Everytime I get hyped for Dragonquest 3 Remake I see something about the grind thst puts me off. 🤷🏾♂️ I'll check it out one day.
Happy Gaming!
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures (PS5) - Dull Design Lets Down This Gorgeous Spin-Off

Good thing I upgraded HZD Remastered for $10. I'll just play that instead.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 554
Gonna be mostly Sparking Zero this weekend. I bought it but won't start HZD Remastered till I finish Unicorn Overlord.
A new season of Foamstars just started so I might check that out.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta?
Absolutely loved it! Love ALL the changes to weapons. Performance could be better but the game is 4 months out. All and all very satisfied.

I played about 12hrs and the hitstop adjustment are a IMPROVEMENT not negative. Makes the combat quicker. I much prefer it to World (went back to fight Furious Rajan right after the Beta ended so the changes were obvious) but its a good mix of World and Rise.
