@NateGoesLive I don't really know. Like, I know it's a good game. Just seems like it's missing something. Maybe it's because I came onto it straight after finishing Returnal. Who knows. I'm gonna have a break from it and come back to it. I'm sure it'll click!
At the end of the first Mass Effect in the Legendary Edition. It's alot clunkier than I remember. Can't wait to get started on the 2nd one. Completed Dead Space 2 on Game Pass. The FPS boost makes it feel like a new game. Onto the Severed DLC next. On ps5, I might continue with Deathloop but to be honest, I've kinda bounced off it a bit. Hasn't grabbed me as much as I thought it would.
I've just started Guardians of the Galaxy and I'm really enjoying it. I had no expectations because of how The Avengers bombed so when the reviews started coming out, I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend it, especially at this price. What a soundtrack 👌
@mcslooter that's the great thing about opinions, they're all yours. And I happen to think Returnal was the best game I've played this year. Yeah I've played and completed Hades. Finished my 10th run and had a break before I go back. It's probably in my top 5 this year. Although I preferred Dead Cells if I'm being honest.
Completed Returnal not long ago and it's my personal GOTY. I understand it's not for everyone because of the difficulty but if you persist and it clicks, there's few games more satisfying. I love how the story didn't hand everything to you on a plate either. I'm playing through Deathloop at the minute and whilst I'm really enjoying it, it's not on the same level in my opinion.
I tried San Andreas on Xbox and deleted it straight away. I can't believe the cheek of having a resolution and a performance mode on this. Are you telling me they can't run this at 4K 60fps? It looked awful.
I've been playing Death Stranding directors cut since that came out but I've got back into Returnal recently. I can only play it at the weekend though because some runs last quite a while. Just about the fight the 3rd boss. Absolutely fantastic game.
Got both Lost Judgment and Death Stranding directors cut yesterday so I'll be digging into both of them. Maybe do a few more runs on Hades. Just completed my 10th run to finish the story. Now onto the epilogue. What a game it is!
Just finishing up Psychonauts 2 on the series X. Remarkable game, played with a smile all the way through. After that I'll possibly continue Hades or Metro Exodus on the ps5. Have a good weekend everyone.
About time. Been waiting for this to be announced for ages. Death Stranding is one of my favourite ps4 exclusives of last gen. Can't wait to replay it.
I met this dude when CKY were supporting Skindred in Notts. He was really polite and a really nice guy. I'm glad they're doing a new TH. Been planning on getting THPS 1 and 2 for a while now.
I'm all for this. I've played and loved every Yakuza but the mindless action did get stale by Yakuza 6. Then along came Like a Dragon and it blew my mind. Didn't think I'd love it as much as I did. Fantastic entry. Eager to see how they'll improve and expand it.
@get2sammyb it's fantastic. I've never been the biggest Zombies fan on Blacks Ops games but they've hit the nail on the head with this. In many ways it feels like a scaled down Warzone. It's best with friends but I'm having a blast solo.
Yakuza : Like a Dragon and Black Ops - Cold War for me. Y7 is that addictive I'm having trouble coming off it to make progress in the latest battle pass 🤣
Only about 10hrs in but it's far surpassed my expectations. I'm loving every minute and I can't wait to dig in more. I'd say it has the potential to be my favourite Yakuza game. Definitely give it a 9.
About 8hrs in and loving it. Might be one of my favourite Yakuza's. Looking forward to digging into it more. The whole change to turn based combat is genius.
Well, I was planning a weekend of mopping up some of the map in Valhalla and making a start on the battle pass on Cold War. But Yakuza - Like a Dragon just dropped through the letterbox which I wasn't expecting until Tuesday, so I've just installed and started that! I'm buzzing 😂
I loved this back in the day. I'm interested to see how it'll play nowadays. Not holding out much hope because games have moved on massively since 2005. Still, might be worth a playthrough.
Still levelling up the battle pass in Cold War. First CoD I've enjoyed for quite a while. Finished The Walking Dead final season last night and wow, what an emotional rollercoaster that was! I think they nailed the ending. Just started Return of the Obra Dinn which I bought in the January sales. Only an hour in and it's gripped me. What a unique game.
That is an amazing month. Already completed Control on the Xbox one but I pre ordered the Ultimate edition so I could play it again and all the DLC on the ps5. So I can cancel that! And I've always been interested in Concrete Genie but not quite enough to buy, so definitely downloading and playing it sharpish.
UK here. Still not got mine! Tried re-entering my VR serial code but it says it's already been claimed so it definitely went through. I'll contact PS support over the weekend.
Merry Christmas everyone. Stay safe and I hope you got the gaming gifts you wanted. I bought Cold War for myself because my wife refuses to get me gaming gifts 😂
Clocked 866hrs on Monster Hunter World and on Iceborne. After that it's Battlefield 4 at 274hrs and AC Odyssey at 232hrs. Not a minute wasted. Loved all three.
Can't speak for the ps4 version but I've seen alot of bugs in the ps5 version. I've had to restart 3 missions because of various glitches. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely fantastic but I'm gonna wait until it's patched up a bit more.
Valhalla and Miles Morales. Can't believe how good Morales looks. Absolutely stunning and such a joy to play. Got the ultimate edition so think I'm gonna do the remastered Spider-Man after I've got the platinum on Morales 👌
Ordered mine with Curry's and paid £4.99 to get a pre 12pm delivery. Got an email saying Terry is delivering between 9.30-10.30. My main man Terry 💪
Counting down the days until Thursday. Can't wait for Valhalla and Miles Morales! In the mean time, EA access has joined Game Pass so I'm going through Dead Space. One of my all time favourites. Always hoped for a 4th game. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
@Bliquid HBG isn't a good match up for him. Bow is decent but I found I struggled to break his horn to stop him changing elements. You any good with dual blades? They melt through him. It's easy to hit the element cap with them. Can be a bit tricky to break his horns though so if you can fit Partbreaker in that'll help. He has big openings when he uses his lightning attacks.
Best game this gen. Clocked up over 800hrs. Alatreon was such a challenge and when I beat him for the first time it was such an amazing feeling! I shouted at the TV and the wife came running inside from hanging washing up, wondering what was happening 😂
I'm switching between the Uncharted collection, MHW Iceborne as always and also playing Subnautica on the Xbox game pass. Didn't think I'd enjoy it because I'm not a big survival game fan but it's absolutely brilliant.
I really enjoyed Mafia 3. The story was amazing but like others said the missions were so repetitive. But I stayed for the story. And that soundtrack, oh boy that soundtrack! Capping fools to 'Baby Love' never got old 🤣
I'm on Iceborne, killing Safi'jiiva to try and get the Shatterbow. It just dropped literally 2 mins ago so I'm happy about that because I believe the event ends Monday. Also still playing Death Stranding. Loving every minute of it. And when the sprog is watching Peppa Pig, I'm chilling with Stardew Valley on the Switch.
Got Death Stranding for Xmas and I'm addicted. Not sure what it is about being a postman in the future but I have the urge to deliver anything and everything 🤣 I believe it'll be my game of the year.
I'm still playing Iceborne. But whenever I'm not, I'm playing Judgment. I love the Yakuza games and Judgment is such an amazing spin off. The story is fantastic.
@Flaming_Kaiser I love the layered armours. They've started adding all the high rank armours but stopped at Odogaron's 🤣 such a tease. They know that's the one everyone wants 🤣 they'll be adding the rest soon.
@Flaming_Kaiser I still haven't done the Witcher quest after nearly 500hrs 🤣🤣 I don't like being forced to use other gear. I've got the Ciri layered armour because you can use gold prints to craft a Mutagen so you can just do that to get her and Geralts armour if you wish. Easy.
@Flaming_Kaiser to be fair none of the content is that good. They won't be replacing any of my gear in my meta builds. The pendants are decent and the Resident Evil stuff for your home is pretty sweet but the weapons are just there to be crafted really. I wouldn't worry about it.
@Flaming_Kaiser all events usually return during the seasonal events. The winter one will be up soon but not sure if these new events will return so soon. They'll definitely return, it just might be a while.
Iceborne again. It's all I've played since it came out at the beginning of September. I think the last game I was proper invested in was Ni No Kuni 2, back towards the end of August.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Death Stranding Director's Cut?
Upgraded from ps4. Didn't bother importing my save because I wanted to experience this masterpiece from scratch again.

I've got really addicted to Outbreak on Cold War. It's brilliant fun. Trying to find the time to play Yakuza 7 in between.
