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
@MrGilly69 blows me away as well. I found it to be my least favorite game I’ve ever played from Naughty Dog. Gave it a fair shake but couldn’t finish it.
After reading this article I definitely need to play some of these. Dead Space was experienced back in the day during wisdom tooth removal recovery, so I’m curious how the remake would play in nowadays in a more aware state. RE4 seems to be a must play especially for someone who never experienced the original.
I’ve heard of it but have never seen gameplay. I have been craving some Diablo for awhile, but just haven’t re-downloaded it. Maybe I’ll give this a try instead!
So happy this is doing so well. RE7 was my first full play-through of a Resident Evil game, and I loved it. RE2 Remake exceeded my expectations. Now, I am hungry for even more survival horror. I would not mind at all if they remade the classic games like they did with RE2, while simultaneously continuing the FPS perspective and story they started with RE7.
I picked Leon first because I heard he had access to a shotgun, and that his campaign was slightly easier than Claire's. Figured it made sense to do the harder play-through second.
This makes sense. The founder of Skybound is Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead. I can see why he doesn’t want this beloved franchise to end on such a poor note.
