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

Doctor_BK

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.

Re: Despite Hype, Analyst Says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 'Underperforming'

@Strikke I’m sure some would be unhappy with that. I plan on buying it when I have more time to play it and when it’s cheaper. I refuse to spend full price for a game that will just sit on my shelf. My backlog of games is large and I have more interest in them than I do Rebirth right now. The Yakuza series has got its grips on me right now.

Re: Fallout Player Counts Skyrocket after Amazon Adaptation Drops

I loved Fallout 3, and liked New Vegas but never finished it. I like Fallout 4 as well and ended up earning the platinum trophy despite not liking it nearly as much as 3. I haven’t started the show yet, however, I am hoping they capitalize on this newfound interest and begin working on either Fallout 5 or a current gen remake of Fallout 3 with all the DLCs included which were some of my favorite parts of the game. There are too many good games out there to make me want to revisit 4 with the PS5 update. I’m happy for those that’ll be playing it for the first time with the new update. I surprisingly spent a dozen or so hours building an impenetrable base in 4 and had a ton of fun doing it. That was probably my favorite part of the game. The overall world was missing the spark that 3 had unfortunately.

Another fact that may play a part in low sales is the fact that it’s a bigger, less-linear game compared to Remake which forces gamers to spend more hours playing it and less hours playing other games they are currently playing. If it was linear I’d be more inclined to pick it up sooner as I could squeeze it in between bigger games. I personally plan on waiting to pick it up when I don’t have so many big games to play.

It’s more Final Fantasy 16 for me this weekend. I’m about 50 hours in and I’m hoping I’ll be able to complete the first DLC this weekend so I can have some time to play something else before the second DLC drops this month. I’ve also been enjoying the recently re-released Resistance: Retribution on the PS Portal this week and I forgot how good this game is. The dialogue and voiceover is underrated. I am really hoping for a Resistance trilogy remake someday. Those games are special. I’d also be happy to squeeze in some Helldivers 2. Picked up a PS Vita this week and am just waiting on the memory card to come in the mail before I can start downloading my old games again. Miss the system and wish I had never sold mine back in the day. I remember I sold it for CoD: MW (2019) lol.

Re: Video: Our Favourite PS5 Games of 2024 So Far

Doctor_BK

I’m loving Helldivers 2 sessions in between playing through my backlog of games. I picked up Dragon’s Dogma 2 this year, but I usually wait for those price drops before I purchase a new game. I kind of regret buying DD2 because of all the games I currently have to play through that I am enjoying. I also started the game, but lost about three hours of progress accidentally so I’m not motivated to play it anymore. At least until I get through FF16 and a few others.

I’ll be continuing my play through of Final Fantasy 16. I passed a point of no return without doing many side quests so I decided to reload my save and complete them all before moving on further. I am loving every second I spend with this game. Excited for the DLC and updates later in April. On top of that, I’d like to finish the Stellar Blade demo and kill some bugs while defending democracy.
