@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.

@mrbone SAME. Well said.

@VaultGuy415 Skyrim is a fantasy RPG. This is a medieval sim. So different in so many ways. It’s weird to compare them.

NieR Automata is the GOAT. I don’t think it’ll be close.

This game has surprised me so much. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have. It’s become one of my favorite games of all time and my favorite game on PS5. Can’t wait for the DLC and hopefully we get more games like this in the future.

@NoHope I recommend Yakuza 0 😎

@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.

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.

@Specky yeah I plan on playing those as well including Fist of the North Star which looks awesome. HappyConsoleGaming has a great review

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.

@Bentleyma nice, I just picked one up as well! Used to have one years ago, so happy to get back with an old friend. Uncharted: Golden Abyss is awesome

@Fishface45 I wrote it off at first but this is probably going to be a game I really like based on comments like these

@Deityjester sad

Started the weekend with some Helldivers 2, but will be finishing it off with some more FF16. I played Control for about 30 minutes and ended up completing chapter 2. I’m not seeing the appeal to this game. I’m just confused on what’s going and kind of tired of running.

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.

@LikelySatan ya

@LikelySatan idk but it works great with the new Pulse Elite headset or my wired Sennheiser’s

@LikelySatan I’d recommend it. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

@Luigia the best!

@koverby it’s the device I never knew I needed until I saw what people were using them for with their babies haha

@Th3solution I made friends with the guy at a GameStop near me and he called me when he got a shipment in. He said stores in my area get 1 per month to sell. They got two the month I got one.

@GMaster7 congrats on the baby and the Portal! Great timing on your purchase. My newborn and I love Portal naps.

Definitely noticed an improvement but thought it was just my internet stability. Glad to hear I’m not the only one! And Im one of those people that play games almost exclusively on the Portal.

@Specky I’m right there with you. Finished 0, Kiwami 1, and Judgement recently. 2 and 3 are next on my list but I’d rather play a Kiwami 3. Don’t think I’m willing to wait as long as it’ll take though.

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.

@NoCode23 Far Cry Primal is my favorite Far Cry game. It deserves a sequel.

@Cloud39472 Seems like you just don’t like this style of article. To me, they are just telling it like it is. Simple reporting of numbers with nuances explained.

@Cloud39472 did we read the same article?!

@darthvirgin your username fits

@pyrrhic_victory that’s gotta be a typo. The US store shows Crisis Core for $29.99

@playstation1995 what chapter are you on in Judgment?

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.

@LN78 I remember really enjoying this game! One of the last decent AA superhero movie game. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is another solid one.

For those asking, a single new trophy is added. It’s a Silver trophy for beating New Game plus.

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.

@Truegamer79 finish Remake. Part 3 is a long ways off. You’ve got time.

This makes me want to go back and play the first game

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.

So happy about this as I did need a little more motivation to pick this one up and replay it.

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.

@playstation1995 agreed! Excited to experience again if I can get it a la carte

Just picked up Tales of Arise at GameStop lol of course

@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.

Looks great although I’ll probably wait a bit to get it as I can’t keep up with so many great games.
