Just wrapped up the platinum for Power Rangers Rita’s Rewind. A pretty bland beat em up. Still enjoying Diablo 4, and dabbling in PSVR2 games. The Transformers game was $12 and it’s a cool IP on rails shooter. Also wanna try Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge since it’s in PS+. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday this coming week!
Still enjoying Diablo 4! I also picked up Power Rangers Rita’s Rewind which is purely nostalgic, it looks like a really fun beat em up so I’ll probably hop into that also.
I’m currently engaged with a lot of games which is uncharacteristic for me. The main thing I’ve been playing is Diablo 4 and as a first time player this game is a blast. So far level 32 spiritborn class. Gran Turismo 7 is more enjoyable than I expected for a simulation driving game, getting gold in the license tests is an addicting thing for me, missing the gold time by a couple thousandths of a second is diabolical lol. Then I bought PSVR 2 and walk about golf is a top notch experience. GT 7 is really immersive and fun to play in VR, and the kayak game looks incredible but unfortunately made me nauseous lol, not sure if I was just fried from playing too long by that point so I’ll try again.
Playing through Legacy of Kane Blood Omen 2. Well on my way to the platinum but the game crashed and I lost maybe 90 minutes of progress which sucked. Decided to get the platinum in Twin Breaker in anticipation of Tri Breaker.
Currently playing two games. First is Legacy of Kain Blood Omen. I remember this game as a kid and it’s still great. Second is Wayfinder. I’m really enjoying it, a looter game that can be fully enjoyed single player but also with other players. It delivers on the whole type of experience for only $25 so I highly recommend it.
Got the platinum in Stellar Blade. Definitely a GOTY contender for me. Wanted to jump into something small and mindless so I started Squirrel with a Gun. Pretty fun so far and should be a pretty easy plat.
Now that the Pro is here I jumped into Stellar Blade and wow does it run amazing while maintaining beautiful visuals. Oh and the game is just really damn good.
Platinumed Hell Pie. Fun little platformer that has pretty good level and gameplay variety that wasn’t expecting. Started South Park Snowday and it’s meh but I’ll platinum it just for love of the franchise and it shouldn’t take too long to complete. Then I started playing GTA 5. Would love to get that platinum but the online trophies seem daunting.
Just got the platinum in San Andreas definitive edition. What an amazing game still. Won’t be doing much gaming this weekend since I’ll be watching the World Series and football on Sunday. Let’s go Yankees!
GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition. What a magical game. The updated graphics make it as good as any current game. It’s unbelievable that this is a PS2 game and the mechanics and systems not only hold up but are just as good or better than modern games (looking at you Saints Row). Just wow.
Little bit of monster hunter rise, wwe 2k24 and a lot of GTA vice city definitive edition. OG trilogy still holds up so much, historically great games.
Plucky Squire has game breaking bugs but I was liking it before that. Some Space Marines 2 but I’m not seeing the hype, it’s just ok to me. Trying to platinum Trine Enchanted Edition and it is so good. The series is on sale so I went and bought all the other games. Finally Astrobot left me yearning for some early PlayStation titles so I’m almost done getting the platinum in Ape Escape. Would love a modern version and Sony recently showed they can do it
Finished and got the platinum in Astrobot which is what games are all about. Then I finished off the platinum in Sly Cooper 2. Now I’m playing God of War 3 remastered which oddly enough I never completed. It’s amazing and leaves me craving another God of War with that type of gameplay.
Astrobot of course! 100% the gorilla world and the gameplay is so polished and the surprises are so good! I don’t want to rush through this amazing game so I’ll break it up with some Hades and Vampire survivors. Also selling my Xbox since all their games will be on PS5 and the value is still decent. Might pick up Black Myth with some of the money.
Will continue playing Concord. I have been having a good time with it, the movement and shooting feels really good. I never wait more than 30-40 seconds to get in a match so those long wait time stories are misleading. The only playlist with a long wait is the competitive no respawn playlist. I also get into some vampire survivors for a couple runs, best 5 bucks anyone can spend.
Got the platinum in Cat Quest 3. I love those games as they are so charming and the gameplay is simple but fun. My next platinum will be my 100th one so I wanna make it a good one. So far the contenders are the last of us part one, red dead redemption, or GTA San Andreas. All 3 I have fond memories of from back in the day.
Jumped into V Rising and I’m hooked! The beginning is a little slow because you have to craft a lot of things but when you get your castle up and going it’s so addictive. While it doesn’t play like the classic legacy of Kane games it defiantly has that vampire power fantasy similar to LoK.
Just wrapped up the final mission in The Final Shape and boy Bungie wrapped things up beautifully! I’ll mess around in that universe for a while more and then who knows what I’ll play next.
Just got the platinum for Animal Well and I’m in gaming limbo. I know Stellar Blade is great and I purchased it day one, but I’m not in the mood for that type of game. My backlog is calling and I’m thinking it’s time for Midnight Suns.
Playing Tales of Kenzara:Zau and having a real pleasant time. Controls feel tight and combat is fun enough. Also should be a nice 8-10 hour platinum so that’s always a plus!
Dave the Diver! I am enjoying the gameplay loop of diving by day and running a restaurant at night. There’s plenty of quirky characters that keep things interesting and I’m very curious as to what the Godzilla DLC will consist of.
Beat the mainline story quest in Skyrim, now just polishing off the rest of the trophies to get the platinum. To think a PS3 game still holds up to current games is amazing.
Playing through Skyrim on PS5! It really is a pinnacle game, writing was so good and shows how Starfield didn’t quite reach that level. Going to go for the platinum as it doesn’t seem too crazy.
Nothing but Rebirth. This game is massive but it is so enjoyable doing the open world activities. Taking my sweet time but I feel like the combat will shine even more on hard mode just like it did in remake for me.
Just platinumed Helldivers 2, playing Pacific Drive which is a nice surprise considering I’m not a big fan of survival games. Nice time killer while I wait for my pre-download for Rebirth.
Hoping to finish up my hard mode playthrough of FF7R, on chapter 16. I love that if you go into a battle with the wrong build you can just exit out and spec correctly. Hopefully I’ll get the platinum next week but I’ll def have it done before Rebirth.
About to platinum Robocop which has been a blast. Love what Nacon is doing with these 80s/90s action IPs, Terminator was really fun also. After that is completed maybe hop into FF7R and maybe complete it in time for Rebirth.
For the first time in forever I’m actively playing multiple games. Avatar Frontiers of Pandora- almost done with the campaign and has been a pretty good time. Yakuza Kiwami- never played any games in this series and all I can ask myself is why. Feels like the evolution of Shenmue and beat em ups, loving it and bought the whole series. Wildcard football- I’m really digging arcade style sport games over simulation in my adult years and this is fun to hop in and out of. The wildcard system adds a layer of strategy in online play and now I’m looking at Super Mega Baseball 4. Happy Holidays everyone!
@MattBoothDev any kid that plays any game with microtransactions can be ripe for that. Minecraft has had many scams and I’m sure the same thing can be said about Fortnite. Personally my son doesn’t have access to funds to even get caught up so as a parent you have to monitor that stuff like anything else your kids are into.
My son loves Roblox and I get it. There’s probably hundreds of games to play so anyone can find something they’ll like and the games are free with the app. The robux is mainly for buying accessories to personalize your avatar and some games have game passes to purchase such as private servers or items in the game to give an advantage. Roblox is churning money hand over fist and it’s smart of Sony and Microsoft to put it on their consoles.
Just finished up the platinum for Terminator Resistance which was a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Bought quite a few games on the PSN Black Friday sale so I have some choices on what to play. I’m leaning towards AC Mirage mixed in with some Gris maybe on the Portal.
Happy 500! I got the platinum in Spider-Man 2 on Friday and wow what a game, maybe my GOTY. Will take the rest of the weekend off from gaming but cheers to 500 more installments of WAYP!
I’m looking forward to a tighter experience. I enjoyed the last three games but they are waaay too long. I’m a fan of Ubisoft games and while I get people criticisms they fill a needed space in the industry.
Solid 7/10 for me so far. Dialogue can be meh but for me doesn't ruin the game. I'm digging through combat and mobility. On hard mode against tough enemies you definitely have to use your full repertoire of abilities. While the general consensus is it being mid, I think this game will find a sizeable audience.
Early in the game and while it leaves some things to be desired, I'm having a good time with it. Also I'm able to run it at at 120 FPS pretty flawlessly. Again, I'm still pretty early in the game, but so far nothing has really turned me off of keeping with it.
Disappointed. Although the game is amazing its not new. It would have been cool to showcase a different game on this list. I guess when the full list is out whatever game a person feels got snubbed could have taken the place of TLOU.
I don't think the Sony pro controller being a bit more than the Xbox pro controller is crazy. With all the bells and whistles of the dual sense such as the haptic feedback onto of the customization of the triggers and thumb pad then it makes sense. This product isn't geared for casual gamers or even many hardcore fans.
I recently got the platinum on PS5 and I enjoyed the game, but it wasn't close to meeting the hype it had. The writing is the biggest highlight and while parts of night city are dense I wouldn't say there's much to do. GTA5's world is still head and shoulders above Cyberpunks.

Spider-Man 2, took my full 19 inches of Venom and ready to start the journey to the platinum.
