I dropped off DA Veilguard because it was all a bit too safe and samey for my tastes, especially for a Dragon Age game. Also, Taash is an insufferable bratty little child.
Started playing No Man's Sky which is a totally different experience from when I played it on first release and dipping in and out of Skate too.
Playing AC Valhalla with no HUD looks gorgeous but If I were to show off the graphical showcase of the PS5, I'd take a walk or drive through Japantown on a rainy night in Cyberpunk 2077.
I decided to give DA Veilguard another chance. I still think that the writing, dialogue and overall tone of the game is the worst part but it's pretty fun to play. Very similar to ME Andromeda in that regard. I absolutely love Bryony Corrigan's voice as Rook, though, and Bellara is strangely likeable.
@pyrrhic_victory I thought that it would be like this after the first gameplay vid had them in. I was a tad gutted when I was playing the game and no cutscenes appeared. Still love it though.
Sweeping up the remaining trophies for the Gotham Knights platinum. Also started playing the Arkham trilogy with Arkham Asylum. Still a great game with imaginative boss fights.
Continuing my push for the platinum in Skyrim. It's a long but enjoyable adventure. Had to pause it last week in the glorious weather because my PS5 shutdown with overheat.
Whenever it's raining in Night City, I'm switching to auto drive, tuning in to Pacific Dreams radio and then just staring out of the window for maximum vibes.

Re: Out Today: Skate Makes Its Big Return in Early Access on PS5, PS4, and It's Free to Play
I had a go of this and it's probably something I'd keep on my PS5 to dip in and out of.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4 Remake Makes Big Changes, Drops Modern Day Story and Adds RPG Elements
Hopefully all of the sea shanties are still in.
Re: Latest Ghost of Yotei Trailer Is a Quick Hit Before PS5 Launch
Looking forward to this. If it's just more of the same then that's fine because Tsushima was ace.

Little did they know at that time on how successful this series would become.

Now on the hunt for a Slime plushie.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
I'm playing rock, paper, scissors with a skeleton in DA Veilguard.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
Playing AC Valhalla with no HUD looks gorgeous but If I were to show off the graphical showcase of the PS5, I'd take a walk or drive through Japantown on a rainy night in Cyberpunk 2077.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Returns in Reimagined Form, Out for PS5 in February 2026
@SuperSilverback Proper bo!

Re: Preview: Why 007 First Light Is the Most Exciting Game of 2026
Hood ornament? I thought James Bond was British?

Re: Xbox's Perfect Dark Was Very Nearly Rescued by a Third-Party Publisher
Joanna Dark and Adam Jensen. Two agents rotting in the Embracer graveyard.
Re: Could You Be Persuaded to Watch a Call of Duty Movie?
No but I'd play a Apocalypse Now game.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Teases Something for 4th September, Sparks Mass Speculation
F**k Rosalind Myers!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
Forget Marcus, there's only one Fenyx that I'm playing.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising
Re: $200 MGS Delta Collector's Edition Ridiculed Over Temu-Esque Snake Figurine
Looks like those parachute figures you used to lob out of your bedroom window.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Focuses on Firearms in Latest PS5 Gameplay Video
I hope this has those standoffs like in Tsushima. Loved them.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta Patch Promised, But No Mention of PS5 Performance Improvements
I bet this is all blown out of proportion and still perfectly playable, just like Dragon's Dogma 2 was.
Re: Round Up: The Outer Worlds 2 Could Be One of the Best RPGs of the Year, Say Positive Previews
I'm looking forward to Outer Worlds 2 but I can't trust the critics again after DA Veilguard got 9's and 10's.
Re: Preview: The Outer Worlds 2 Doubles Down on RPG Gameplay to Great Effect
Looking forward to this. Got it pre-downloaded on the Xbox.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025 Announced
Stardew Valley is a gem.
Re: Skate's Free-to-Play Revival Rides into Early Access on PS5, PS4 in September
I'll try it. If it's pants, I've always got Skate 3 on my Xbox to fall back on. I hope that the music isn't just all modern rubbish.
Re: 'The Number of Live Service Games Is Not Important': PS5 Boss Gives Rare Insight into Strategy
I've been in a gaming funk for a while now. All I seem to play is older titles from the PS4/3.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
My love of Ubisoft comfort games continues with AC Odyssey and Immortals: Fenyx Rising.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (PS5) - The Best Version of an Undisputed Classic
@Uromastryx Yeah, the legit way of hunting him is the best way but I just admire that there's options for killing him early and by cheating.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (PS5) - The Best Version of an Undisputed Classic
Still my favourite MGS game. That theme song, those boss fights and classic David Hayter. I wonder if you can still off The End by tinkering the date?
Re: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Is a Movie-Spanning Adventure Coming to PS5
I'm well up for this one. They need to slap a gruff filter on the Bats' voice though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 594
Playing as the caped crusader in Batman Arkham City and a Greek Goddess mercenary in AC Odyssey.
Re: The Outrageously Over-the-Top Fast & Furious Arcade Game Is Coming to PS5
Bring back Rad Mobile with the swinging Sonic on the mirror.
Re: EA Refuses to Fund the Dragon Age Remasters You Crave
I played through Origins and DA2 again just last year on Game Pass. Still fantastic games despite their ageing looks.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 593
Sweeping up the remaining trophies for the Gotham Knights platinum. Also started playing the Arkham trilogy with Arkham Asylum. Still a great game with imaginative boss fights.
Re: Claim a Bunch of Free PS Plus Avatars with These PSN Codes
That Valerie looks like such a gonk.
Re: Rumour: Starfield PS5 to Take Flight Alongside New Expansion Next Year
I thought that it was okay in places. Your companions are a dull bunch though. I crewed my ship with hired npc's because they were more entertaining.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
@KingPev Yeah, Batgirl all the way. She's the most well rounded.
Her skill set isn't bad either.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
Gotham Knights. I feel that the reviews for this game were a tad harsh. It's pretty decent with some great villain fight sequences.
Re: Rumour: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Coming to PS5 with Native Version
Oh yes please. I'd love to give a revenge thrashing to Runt again in 60fps.
Re: Free PSN Avatar Collection Incoming for PS Plus Members, Featuring God of War, Cyberpunk, More
I've had Luisa Fortuna from Red Dead Redemption as my avatar for three console generations but I'd swap it for a Judy Álvarez.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 591
I finally got the plat for Skyrim so I'll be chilling out with some Everybody's Golf and grinding the Gotham streets at night in Gotham Knights.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Reportedly Cancelled, Will Stay in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
I enjoyed this game. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't as bad as people made out either.
Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
BioWare classic, Jade Empire.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590
Continuing my push for the platinum in Skyrim. It's a long but enjoyable adventure.
Had to pause it last week in the glorious weather because my PS5 shutdown with overheat.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 Out Now, Adds New Quests, Cars, AutoDrive, VRR on PS5, More

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2025?
So jealous of people starting Cyberpunk 2077 for the very first time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
Playing Skyrim in bursts because my PS5 is like a heater in this weather.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Confirms Japanese Dub at Launch, Complete with Full Lip-Syncing
Played Tsushima in Japanese and will do so again for Atsu's adventure.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Fully Revealed in 20 Minute State of Play on 10th July
This game is a day oner for me.

Slaying snow elves with Serana in Skyrim.
