Re: Rumour: Xbox's Fable, Killer Instinct, More to Join Forza Horizon 5 on PS5

None of those titles interest me in all honesty. Truth be told, Xbox has never had many proprietary titles that I’ve ever had much interest in at all. Only ones that spring immediately to mind are Halo, Gears Of War and Sunset Overdrive. Maybe the new Hellblade title, but other than that? Really can’t think of anything. Hopefully those make their way to PS sometime in the future……

I’ll be trying to finish FLINTLOCK: The Siege Of Dawn this weekend. Pretty good game overall but not without a few flaws or frustrations. Other than that maybe a little COD: BO6 MP.
Once I’m done w/ Flintlock though, I really have no clue what I’ll play next. I’m hoping something like Lords Of The Fallen, Banishers or Alone In The Dark ends up as one of the free games next month. But something I actually want to play showing up there almost NEVER happens so……..🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽 ……. It will be interesting to see what the next game I play is.

Re: Code Violet Takes Aim at Dinosaur Horror in June on PS5

@czDante92 I don’t know. QE was one of the absolute worst gaming experiences I’ve had in memory. I got it for $20 and was still furious I paid that much. Team Kill Media seems like the kind of devs who crank out the lowest grade garbage possible to churn a buck as quickly as they can. I admire that they’re a 2-man shop (I think?) but …….damn their games are crap.

I’m currently playing through FLINTLOCK: Siege Of Dawn. The game is pretty good overall and definitely fun, but the XP system, floaty jumping and some of the elements of combat make it a bit frustrating to play at times. So far I’m about 1/3 of the way through it and I’d say it’s a solid 7.

Other than that I’ll be mixing in a little COD: BO6 and watching my Detroit Lions (hopefully) advance to the NFC Championship game tonight, which, needless to say, I’m quite excited for! Hope everyone enjoys what they’re playing this weekend and GO LIONS!!!

I won’t have much time to game this weekend, but I’ve been off work on PTO for a week and a half and I’ve been THOROUGHLY enjoying the beautiful, well-crafted and fun gameplay of Black Myth: WUKONG, along with COD: BO6’s rather fun MP offering this year.
In all honesty though, I’m totally focused on watching my Detroit Lions hopefully clinch their division and the #1 seed in the NFC on Sunday. that’s the type of game I’m REALLY invested in this weekend. 💪🏽😉👍🏽

Re: Game of the Year: #6 - Silent Hill 2

DETfaninATL

Great game and was really impressed with this as I had never played a Silent Hill game before. I'd put this in the #4 spot on my personal GOTY list behind Stellar Blade, Black Myth: WUKONG and Helldivers 2, and just ahead of COD BO6.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PSVR2 Game of 2024

@ROTTIEMAN16 Honestly, I had forgotten about the RE games and have no interest in GT7 or Synapse. But even so, let’s say I included both RE games, 4 games isn’t enough for me to spend that kind of money on a gaming system. Especially when I buy roughly 15-20 games a year on just the standard PS platform.

@PorkChopExpress Yezzzirrr!! You got it - my handle stands for Detroit fan in Atlanta Yeah, the Lions are REALLY banged up on defense with injuries but our offense is one of the best in the entire league, so I'm hoping it's enough to secure the #1 seed in the NFC and get our injured players some rest. If that happens I think we can probably at least get to the SB. After that.....??? We shall see.
And I'm no Aaron Rodgers fan myself. Had too many years of getting beaten on by him when he was in Green Bay. So, like you said - go home to California Rodgers!! Stop bringing down a good franchise with an excellent and loyal fan base!!

I have the next week and a half off work so I'll be bashing my head against the (seemingly) endless supply of bosses in the absolutely excellent Black Myth: WUKONG. And when I'm not doing that, I'll be diving into COD: Black Ops 6 MP for little bit.
Beyond that, it's just going to be spending time w/ family and friends and cheering on my Detroit Red Wings and especially my Detroit Lions as they make the final push to the playoffs!! As well, I might try and take in an Arsenal match since I'll be able to get up early enough to watch them. Hope everyone has a great weekend gaming and doing whatever you like best!

Re: Rumour: The Far Cry Series May Finally Be Switching Things Up in Next Two Games

DETfaninATL

Not sure how I feel about this. While it's absolutely true that the FarCry formula is getting a bit stale and definitely 'samey', there's also no denying it works and it's a lot of fun if done well (FC3, 4 & 6, IMHO). I'm not a big fan of time limits but it could work if it's done well, I suppose. As for a PvP extraction shooter, isn't COD doing that already and quite well at that? I suppose throwing animals and weather (IE, 'survival' elements) into the mix could shake it up, but to what degree? I remain skeptical but hopeful, and I certainly give them props for trying something new and attempting to breathe fresh air into a stale room.....

Just platinumed ROBOCOP: Rogue City so now I’m playing the absolutely fantastic, impressive and super high quality Black Myth Wukong. Totally get why it was nominated for GOTY!
But my real focus this weekend is watching my Detroit Lions host the Buffalo Bills in what could be a potential Super Bowl matchup. GO LIONS!!!

Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Winners

DETfaninATL

Bummer to see Stellar Blade completely shut out of any award. The game might not have been innovative but it was a great game none the less. Also would have liked to have seen Silent Hill 2 win for audio design but Hellblade 2 is a solid choice instead.

Re: Video: Over 60 of the Most Essential PS5 Games So Far

DETfaninATL

@HRdepartment I couldn't agree more. Returnal is such an incredibly well-done and truly addictive gameplay loop, it's hard to top. For sure there's a lot of other games on the PS5 that I love, but there's nothing else proprietary to the PS5 ONLY that hooks me in and blows me away like Returnal does.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 558

Just platinumed the EXCELLENT Silent Hill 2 remake. Was really impressed with it as I had never played a Silent Hill game before. The atmosphere was just so absolutely perfect it was oppressive. And my favorite ending was the 'Maria' ending. "You should do something about that cough." (!!!) Ominous at best, sinister at worst - absolutey awesome!
Having completed that, I've moved on to ROBOCOP: Rogue City which I picked up for $20 in a recent PS Store sale. It plays just like the movie - cheesy and mid-grade but absolutey fun.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 557

DETfaninATL

I’ve been splitting my time between the very well done and extremely fun MP of Black Ops 6 and the incredible Silent Hill 2 remake. I’ve never played a Silent Hill game before so I have to say I’m quite impressed. The atmosphere is so utterly oppressive and creepy it’s nerve wracking. The fog is so thick and the Otherworld is so decayed, rusted and dark it makes for a harrowing journey where you never know what’s around each corner or every next step for that matter. And the sound design is utterly amazing! This game is a GREAT example of survival horror done RIGHT! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
