BIG3

Now I got another error saying I need to allow "full" data sharing on my PS5. Changed it and still nothing.
Anybody else got this?

Still broken eh... Ill try again tomorrow. Get it together Sony.

I tried to log on but got sent back to the start page. Hope its due to traffic and nothing else. I love the wrap ups!

If its 3rd person Im going back to Night City!

I just hope the winners actually get to give speeches this year. If not they need to have a preshow with the less interesting (but still important) awards to be handed out where they can talk, get and give the cred they want.
Other than that, some cool game reveals is always welcome. Im personally looking forward to it and will watch the show live like I always do even if it means I will be tired at work on Friday. I do the same with superbowl.

@Nintendo4Sonic Same here. Except opposite.

@MrPeanutbutterz Same here! Bought both games on release. Played Tekken 8 only the first weekend, and only 8n hrs ish before I was bored with it. SF6 on the other hand, one ish session a week since release.

Switch: DQ11, just made it to Gallopolis. Absolutely love this game.
Xbox: I finished Fractured But Whole. I plan to unlock some more achievements before retiring it. I also decided to jump back into Control again after finishing the Alan Wake 2 DLC had me itching for more Remedy madness.
PS5: Hunting down the final costumes in my personal GOTY Stellar Blade.

PS5: I'm on my fifth playthrough of Stellar Blade on my quest to pick up the last costumes from the latest patch.
Xbox: I just finished the first Hellblade game for the second time. It still holds up great, despite the weak combat. The story is just too good to be ignored. I'm also close to finishing Fractured But Whole.
Switch: Really enjoying DQ11. A true GOAT type of game. I can't really explain it but it feels right to play now that Christmas is coming up. Maybe its the music.

That was by far my favourite Astro Bot level.

It's a really fun game so I totally get it! I couldn't stop smiling while playing it, except for that one super difficult level, then I was not smiling, at all. Overall great game! Highly recommended.

This can be very funny to watch but very frustrating to play yourself. Looks wacky enough to give it a go though!

@Vivisapprentice I really hope that's not the direction they are heading. I would rather have flashbacks where Joel shows up and his past mistakes have implications for how the triology ends.

@Vivisapprentice Somehow, Joel returned.

My kids love it. And I think the writing is pretty funny so I enjoy watching them play. Bought it for the Switch though.

PS5: Stellar Blade, hunting down the NieR costumes before starting my 5th NG+. Yes, it's that good!
Series X: Jumping between Hellblade and Fractured But Whole.
I was supposed to start Flight Sim 24 and Stalker 2 but with launch issues and bugs I have put them both on hold.
Switch: I picked up DQ11 on sale. I've played it before on Gamepass but considering how great that game is I just had to do another run. Also, sidequesting TotK.

I dont mind a challenge but if its way too grindy and I feel like Im wasting my time I wont bother.

@Fiendish-Beaver The discourse around Veilguard has been absolutely out of line. I enjoyed my time with it earning the plat.

@Nei Update. This quest has to be picked up from Xion. You can only hand in requests in Wasteland. Another ng+ it is then. Just going to pick up all the NieR content first. Thanks for the suggestion!

I havent played the original but in general Im all for getting the final game out asap.

This is what kept me away from buying the game at release so Im way more tempted now. Perhaps at a future sale when Im done with the games Im playing now.

@Nei Ah. Then I need to do another ng+ playthrough (my fifth) because Im at the point of no return where I cant enter Xion anymore. Thanks for the info!

@DrClayman Im thinking the same thing after I've unlocked all the NieR stuff. Enjoy!

Last note. Now I really want Shift Up to make the next NieR game with Taro writing of course.

@Enuo seriously? Thats awesome!

@Nei Where did you find the new photo missions? Im at the point of no return (all areas still available)

Just an FYI. If youre at the point of no return I dont think its possible to purchase the four free costumes who are not a part of the DLC.
I love that there is a new currency to collect for the NieR stuff. Makes for a good treasure hunt with the hints Emil gives.
Oh. And photo mode is great!!!

@SirSephy Its around 10$.

DLC available now. 10$ ish pricetag.

"All 12 people" lol. Now that was funny.

I have huge faith in both of these games and I'm very much looking forward to them and wish Remedy all the best. AW2 and Control are top tier in my book.

DLCs should have their own category because it doesnt really fit into the ongoing category either. Remakes should also have a separare category, even if its made from the ground up. GOTY should be new games, sequels only.
Also, my personal GOTY is Stellar Blade and Im not upset its not nominated but I hope it wins something, especially music.

@breakneck oh I know. Lol. Sidenote. I would buy a Thunderjaw in a heartbeat!

I'm not surprised the NieR DLC will have a price tag seeing how Yoko Taro is "a slave to capitalism." His own words. Oh, and I'll buy it!!!

Xbox: Jumping between Hellblade 1 and South Park The Fractured But Whole while I'm waiting for Flight Sim 24 and Stalker 2 next week.
Switch: Sidequesting TotK.
PS5: Nothing as I just platted Dragon Age Veilguard. That game has gotten way too harsh responses online. It's a good game and I especially loved the companion quests and rewarding exploration. I'd rate it an 8. Act 3 is a 10 though, great ending!

@Dodoo Ive done 4 playthroughs (3ng+) and finished boss mode, sitting on 100% completion and havent encountered a single problem or bug. Not even one incident of wonky camera.

Awesome. Game launched bug free, excellent combat, design and music. Points could be pulled for story and dialogue but not much really. And the fact that Shift Up has added a bunch of content post launch, not because it was planned but because they realized how great their game is is a good look! Cant wait for photo mode and NieR Automata crossover next week! I hope this game wins something at the Game Awards too. It's deserved.

I already got the Tallneck and it is beautiful! Tbh I would probably buy anything LEGO Horizon. Thunderjaw please. But also some of the bigger villages would be cool!

@SleeplessKnight Hellblade 2 deserves some nominations. Stalker 2 can also be nominated I think.

@Drago201 Im sure Kratos voice actor will have that covered.

@get2sammyb Stellar Blade, Veilguard and Helldivers 2 are my picks.

No level select/replay is indeed a weird choice. Makes me second guess if I'll purchase this or not. How long does the game take to beat?

People always talking about costumes, character and combat which Im all for but is there any word on if the game will get more music with the NieR update? Because the soundtrack is incredible!

@AfroMario Just go on her Insta dude... you wont be disapointed.

My personal GOTY getting more content. I cant wait. NieR Automata is my GOAT game.

Sidenote, both them models fine. Good choice to base EVE on.

This sounds too good to be true! Is a fifth playthrough in my near future? Why yes!

I need more Lego sets based on Horizon. That Tallneck is so good! Would love a thunderjaw and more lego figurines, one of Sylens especially.

I dont think Stellar Blade can be nominated this year. Next year it should definetly be nominated and definetly win.

I hope he lives in a house full of home made traps. Lol.

I'm buying this for the Switch. Games like these should always be multiplatform imo so kids dont have to choose consoles or miss out.
