Re: Pour One Out for Iconic US Gaming Mag Game Informer

Doctor_BK

I still have some Game Informer magazines with covers like Halo 3, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and the 20th anniversary of PlayStation cover. I loved reading them as a kid. I think I’m going to go to GameStop today and buy whatever magazines they’ve got left.

Re: Concord's PS5, PC Character Trailers Are Rolling Out

Movement looks floaty like Destiny 2’s multiplayer but with less space magic. I think this misses the mark in terms of flashy-looking gameplay. These snippets of gameplay make me want to play the game less because it just looks so slow and kinda boring. The character designs just feel like they are trying too hard to appeal to a specific demographic and that demographic is not me. This is coming from a big GotG and Marvel fan.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 537

Just finished up Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty after starting that game about 2 and a half years ago. Glad I played it but happy to have it crossed off my backlog. I’ve entered the final chapter in Jedi Survivor today so I’ll be finishing that up this weekend. Next week I’ll be focusing on making some progress in Yakuza 3 and recently picked up MW3 (2023) so I could play the OG MW2 maps again. Nostalgia got me on this one. I really prefer the gunplay in CoD over XDefiant but I prefer the movement and color palette of XDefiant. Guess I’ll be playing both for awhile for my FPS fix.

Picked up The Ori Collection on Swith along with Black Ops: Declassified and FFX on Vita. So I’ll be dipping into those. I need to get some rounds of XDefiant in as well as dabble a little in The First Descendant and play as Geralt of Rivia. Also, I’ll likely plow through the final few missions in Jedi Survivor. Going to be a busy weekend!

Re: Sunset Overdrive PS5 Port Not Happening, Insomniac's Too 'Busy'

Never played it and was never interested in playing it until I played Hi-Fi Rush. Honestly though I’d still rather have the Resistance games remade or remastered over this any day. Heck, I’d even take remakes of the Ratchet and Clank games first too. Maybe Somy could hire a different team to bring Insomniac’s games to PS4/PS5.

Just finished chapter 5 of Yakuza Kiwami 2 so I’m starting the Majima saga. Really loving this game so far and don’t feel like playing much else. I just picked up Granblue Fantasy Relink and might start that up as I’ve been looking forward to playing it since the demo came out. Also plan on playing some Remnant 2 and Helldivers 2 with a buddy this weekend. Such great co-op games. Should be a good time.

Re: PS Portal Still Going Strong, Demand in USA Exceeds Supply

I love playing third person action games on my Portal as I feel the slight delay is completely unnoticeable most of the time. I stay away from FPS games as those seem to be less snappy especially Destiny. However, Cyberpunk works really well though. Yakuza has been my favorite game to play on the device. Played through Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1, Judgment, and now I’m working on Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 7 simultaneously. These have been my favorite Portal games so far. The style of these games feel awesome to play in the handheld format.

I finally finished the Outriders campaign after taking a year off from it. Pretty fun but average game overall. Started Yakuza: Like a Dragon up again and I’m really enjoying it. Also still playing Resistance: Retribution primarily on the Portal. A couple of minutes here and there of MvC: Infinite’s story mode whenever my kids say “daddy play Spider-Man”. Some Freedom Wars on toilet.

Getting into Remnant 2 with some friends. Really enjoying it so far! Also, started up Phantom Liberty this week and realized I need to do some of the main game side quests that I skipped after mainlining most of the main story. Really getting into it but need to take breaks from it after a few hours. I can only handle so much of the depressing tone. Resistance: Retribution on my Portal has been a great in between games kinda game. Still super fun after all these years.

@CWill97 You might like Mad Max, it has a similar feel and premise to Days Gone, however, not nearly as long. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit especially upgrading my car. The combat is a blast too, imo. You might also want to check out the Forbidden West DLC as the main villain is the same actor that played Deacon and his performance is one of my favorites he’s done.

Potentially finishing up FFXVI this weekend or early next week. Currently playing through Rising Tide and then have the final mission to polish off my first pass through this game. I’m tempted to go for the platinum as I did everything in the base game so just need a second play-through on hard. 63 hours of pure joy. I’m going to be sad to put the game down finally. Other than that, probably some OG God of War on the Vita. I’m at the first boss and forgot how hard games used to be on normal. Definitely my favorite God of War game still to this day.
