Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2024 Announced

DETfaninATL

LEGO games are always pretty solid but if you’ve played one you’ve basically played them all and I’ve played a few of them. I’m not interested in either of the other two games so not a very good lineup for me, personally even though I might put the LEGO game in my library for a rainy day, so to speak….

Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?

@Northern_munkey I played Steelrising and loved it. Thought it was an excellent Soulslike. Lords Of The Fallen has had my eye since it was in development and it looks gorgeous but I keep hearing a lot of very mixed things about it so I’m not sure on that one. Lies Of P however I’ve heard nothing bad about and I’m likely gonna give it a go. The only thing holding me back is the difficulty which I’ve heard is harder than Sekiro, so we’ll see but I’m likely to give it a go.

Currently playing Shadow (Scadu? 😉) Of The Erd Tree despite its reluctance to include trophies and I’m thoroughly enjoying being back in The Lands In Between. Hard to match FromSoft’s formula but it would be a little better to hear that sweet trophy ‘bling’ after beating these seriously difficult bosses! 😉

@Rich33 I have it on my list and I’m really tempted to play it as I keep hearing great things about it. What’s holding me back though is I hear it’s harder than Sekiro and that game was the toughest FromSoft game (IMHO), and I’ve played them all. I just don’t know if I’m up for that much frustration and 3 playthroughs of it no less, for the platinum (I platinum everything I play if it’s within my ability to do so). So….???? Not sure. I may cave in and grab it while it’s on sale but I have to finish Shadow Of The Erd Tree first. I’ll see if I’m up for another Soulslike when Erd Tree is done w me! 😉😂

Definitely enjoy Soulslike games but there’s no question the actual ones by FromSoftware are the very best (obviously) and the ones I enjoy the most. Although in recent memory, I’d say the ones NOT by FromSoftware that I’ve enjoyed most are: Mortal Shell, Steelrising and (if they count?), especially, the Remnant games.

Stellar Blade is GOTY for me with Helldivers 2 in at 2nd. I really don’t see anything else dethroning it for the rest of the year. The game is just that solid in my book on so many levels and the release slate for the rest of the year doesn’t hold anything I think I’m going to enjoy more, but you never know. We shall see……

@SolarSpirit86 Hahahaha I played that game around its launch. I enjoyed it for the first few hours but it quickly became stale and showed how low budget it really was. Not a good game by any means but nowhere nearly as bad as Quantum Error. Now THAT is a terrible game and one to be avoided at all costs!!!

Re: Capcom Ends New Content Support for Exoprimal

DETfaninATL

I do want to play this at some point but there’s too much else out there that looks better. Besides, it looks like the kind of game that would get repetitive and thus boring fairly quickly. If it ever comes to Plus though I’d be willing to give it a shot.

Re: Shocking: There's a New Resident Evil Game in Development

DETfaninATL

When I think of Resident Evil, I naturally think 3rd person, so I suppose I’d slightly prefer that. But I’ve also had a great time with some of the 1st person games they’ve done so I’m really fine with either, just as long as it’s done well.
I’d also much prefer a new mainline entry as opposed to yet ANOTHER remake. Spend the time and money on a new idea instead of re-treading well walked in shoes.

Finally getting around to playing my first console version of an Assassin’s Creed game (I played AC 3 on the Vita and wasn’t overly impressed) - ASSASSIN’S CREED: Odyssey - and quite enjoying it. Absolutely blown away by how big the map is and how detailed all the locations are!! Really solid game and I’m having quite a good time with it so far.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?

DETfaninATL

@Geminisundone To each their own. It’s not like Elden Ring is the ONLY fun game out there right now. I just prefer to play something that actually has trophies in it, since I’m a trophy hunter. Maybe one day when I don’t have a backlog or anything I’m actively wanting to play I’ll give it a go. It’s not that I absolutely refuse to play something with no trophies but if the devs can’t be bothered to put a few trophies in a game, I’m not gonna be bothered with putting it at the top of my ‘want to play’ stack.

@playstation1995 Congrats to your Celtics m8! Was pulling for them as one of my best friends is from Boston. Also REALLY impressed with and like their coach a LOT. Dude is a man of very strong faith. Enjoy that championship glow - it’s fun! My Wolverines are NCAA champions themselves right now and it’s a nice feeling, I know.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 534

I’m currently playing through the DLC for Dying Light I don’t have completed (Parkour Fever & The Bozak Horde) and quite enjoying it. Really fun coming back to that game after not having played it in 10 years or so.

I’ve also started playing through the Trapped In Limbo DLC for Atomic Heart but a combination of things is preventing me from enjoying it too much. That being the DLC itself is pretty bad and not at all like the base game itself. Plus, one of the trophies is glitched (and I suspect others might be as well). I may just hold off on that one until I know it’s been patched and there’s a trophy guide out for it. The DLC is just so far off of what the game itself is, it’s hard to find it very enjoyable, though strangely enough it does have an addictive quality to it in a masochistic way 🤣🙄🤦🏽🤷🏽

I’ve also noticed that some trophies have been added to Astro’s Playroom all of the sudden out of nowhere so I may go back and give that some time.

Hope everyone enjoys their gaming this weekend!
