Going to finish up my playthrough of Judgement and then go back to enjoying FF16! I’ll probably continue my Yakuza series playthrough after I knock a couple games off the backlog.
Continuing my playthrough of Judgment so I can get back to the mainline Yakuza games. Also, got FF16 from my brother so I’ll be finally diving deep into that. Really loving it so far. I loved the demo so I’m not surprised it’s great.
Today is my Sunday so I’ll be capping off my weekend with some more Judgment. I’m 6 hours in and only at chapter 2. I decided to start this after finishing Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 0 so that I could cross it off the list before it leaves PS Plus Extra. I actually decided to start play the Yakuza series after experiencing the first hour of Judgment and being blown away by the story telling. I’m glad I did because now I’m hooked. I’ve bought all the games RGG has made in the yakuza series including spin-offs. If I need a break from Judgment I’ll probably be dipping into either Helldivers 2, RE4 Remake, and or Callisto Protocol.
@CaptD enjoy! I also recently played FF7 Remake and was super impressed by it as well. I’d recommend Outer Worlds! It’s refreshing to have a realy good RPG with great dialogue in style of a Bethesda game.
While I waited for my copy of Yakuza Kiwami 2 to arrive after beating the first game a few weeks back I decided to jump into Yakuza 0. I’m in the middle of chapter 5 and quite a few hours in. I’m hoping it picks up a little in the pace soon. When I need a break from Yakuza, I’ll be liberating and swimming in democracy with some friends in Helldivers 2! Have a great weekend, gamers.
@GeminiReign I felt the same way when I started Forbidden West back when it released, but got back to it a year later and did not regret it one bit. By the end, I think I enjoyed it more than Zero Dawn which I loved and got the platinum for. When the time is right give it another shot and you may have a similar story to me. It’s very high quality. The flying mount at the end also made the game immediately 50% more fun for me. And the DLC is a must play for fans of the series. It’s incredibly well done and impressive.
HELLDIVERS! And maybe start Yakuza Kiwami 2 as I just finished Kiwami 1. I am blown away I never played a Yakuza game before. The story sucked me in so quickly and it just got better and better. One of my favorite games I’ve played in the last 5-10 years easily. I can’t stop thinking about it and I’m ecstatic to see where Kyru’s story goes.
I am so happy as I love all of Tango’s games and I’ve been wanting to play this ever since I first saw the trailer. The art direction, style, voice acting, and gameplay look incredible. Can’t wait to play this finally.
Like many other people in the comments I am ecstatic for the short length. 20 hours is a perfect length of game for me. 3 kids and a full time job makes long games almost stressful to try to finish. Also love to see it’s $10 cheaper than a traditional new release. The demo won me over on this game. Highly recommend people try the demo before buying this game or writing it off. The combat is very satisfying and I found the graphics to be really pleasing to look at personally.
Been craving some Rock Band goodness ever since trying out the disappointment of Fortnite Festival. So I’ll be dusting off my drums and guitar and reinstalling Rock Band 4 this weekend. Probably some Swordsman VR as well why I make my way through the main missions. If I get tired of those then I’ll probably chill with some Evil West as I’m enjoying that a lot.
@Nepp67 to each their own. I prefer IW’s movement over Titanfall. Personally, it felt way better to me. Also, I don’t think zero gravity would’ve felt fun or competitive in the multiplayer setting. I think that was an intentional and smart design choice. The zero g movement was fun in campaign but VERY slow to get around and would’ve been so awkward in MP.
@DennisReynolds oh man I disagree wholeheartedly. It had a very strong community. The game was very high quality. The hate for the movement could be justified if you are not a fan of that, but it was objectively very well done. So smooth if you knew how to use the movement to your advantage. There were very few things about the game that weren’t done well. The maps, weapons, and game modes were all well done. The abilities were fun and new. I just can’t agree with the idea it was a bad COD. I see it as a top 5 in the entire series and I’ve put months of my life into these titles annually.
I don’t think the quotes are completely untrue. One example that immediately comes to mind is the Infinite Warfare YouTube trailer bomb. The game ended up being awesome in so many ways. Campaign was fantastic, multiplayer was one of my faves of all time, and the zombies mode was great and up there with Treyarch zombies modes. That game never really got any positivity after the initial trailer. People were just done with jet packs at that point, but if that game came out today I’d imagine people would love it for its Titanfall 2 style speed and movement. The current CoD games just seem to be getting worse but still selll like crazy.
That’s great to hear as it’ll motivate me to probably play more than I would’ve. I’ve gotten the plat on a couple Netherrealm fighting games and they were easy just took some time.
Oh this sounds awesome having just finished remake. I looked and have a ton of theaters near me playing it! Might try to go see this as I haven’t ever watched the movie.
Sony really needs to consider remaking the old Killzone games or starting the franchise anew. The same could be said for SOCOM, Resistance, and MAG. I’m a die hard MAG fan and that game was way better than people thought. So much potential for awesome shooters on the console. It’s a shame they just put all their cards into CoD which just keeps getting worse ever since Modern Warfare 2018.
Might dive into Peaky Blinders VR again for a couple chapters. Picked it up last night and being a fan of the show I’m really glad I did. It’s not the prettiest VR game but it captures what makes that show so gritty and captivating. Other than that, I’ll mainly be swapping between finishing up the Burning Shores DLC and getting more into Ghostwire: Tokyo.
@Nightcrawler71 like you, I never originally completed Forbidden West after starting, but in the last month I’ve managed to complete the main story and will probably be finishing up the DLC soon. The game takes some time to get going but it’s fantastic once it does and definitely is a huge improvement over the first game. After the DLC I’m going for that shiny platinum trophy! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I just upgraded to extra last night because it had so many games I’ve been wanting to play but never had the time, and some games are tough to find on a sale. Buying all of them separately would cost a good amount compared to the sub. Ghost wire Tokyo, FF7 Remake on ps5, Humanity (vr2), dmc5, returnal, GTA5 (been putting it off too long), judgment, lost judgment, NieR replicant, and Gotham knights are just some of the games I’ll be looking to complete this year from extra. Not a bad group of games for the price. I own RE2 as well, so this month is kinda meh, but overall happy with the value Extra has.
Just finished Immortals of Aveum last night. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of high fantasy, FPS, single player story driven games. Beat it on normal mode in 13 hours or so, and despite some difficulty spikes and weird puzzles it felt pretty fun to play most of the time. The gameplay feels like Doom or Wolfenstein way more than I expected. Was expecting more CoD vibes as the creative director came from making CoD games. The lore is deep as it is written by a Morrowind/Oblivion writer.
The rest of the weekend I’ll be switching between the absolutely gorgeous Burning Shores and ever-depressing world of Cyberpunk 2077 - about 13 hours into the main story here. Happy gaming!
@Northern_munkey I’m pretty close to finishing immortals and I’ve enjoyed it as well despite some weird difficulty spikes on normal mode. The puzzles kinda suck too imo
@Mostik nice! I love my vr2 admittedly don’t play it as much as I thought I would but still glad I have it especially for Horzion and Beat Saber. Still need to track down a physical copy of galaxy’s edge
@trymer89 it’s fantastic! I beat the main story a few weeks ago, but can’t put it down. Thankfully it’s got DLC! Just started that definitely recommend it so far
