I enjoyed BDO on my ps4, yes it was worse than PC. It had lots of pop in, a little glitch here and there, but was still quite fun. If this is even equal too that on base ps5 I'm good.
Just bought my first physical pa5 game recently. That was a used wholesale for cheap. For me its generally cheaper for digital and just being lazy to change discs.
Decent month. I'll play all but eso. ESO was awesome years ago. Then they went to level scaling most zones. Completely ruined the immersion. I'll try the others for a bit.
As an older gamer, with family and other responsibilities, time has been the critical factor for me. With the big jump in loading times and not caring if its 60 vs 30, the ps5 is perfect for me for many years to come.
Strong Bad! I was a big fan of his shorts on homestar runner. My fav. was his take on classic video games. I will probably pick this up for nostalgia sake.
My only wish is for more detailed stats in franchise. They track them, but don't show them. For example for pitchers, you can find the batting average allowed vs righties or lefties when a pitcher is warming up on the mound or bullpen, but you can’t go and actually find that in the stats tab throughout the season. Or for fielding stats when they play different positions. I dont understand why they don't show that. Baseball is all about stats.
@Divergent95 I have heard the same thing from people i know have played it. They said the game was decent, just did not capture the bloodlines feel from the original. I will pick it up on a mild sale.
This has been my top game since its announcement. I was a fan of BDO and a single player only game by them looks great so far. Im not a big fan of the grappling hook swinging like Spiderman mechanic, but hopefully it plays well.
I just picked it up a couple days ago. I usually wait for a sale but I was itching for a good Skyrim like game and this doesn't disappoint. The opening song is amazing. Im only 5 hours in, so far very fun
Fantastic news! I never heard of this game until it was on the list for best soundtrack I believe, on here. Bought it from that news and now play st least one round every couple days. It is very addicting.
Always been a dynasty warriors fan as well.i have been hesitant pick up this new one after 9s debacle. Yours plus another's recent praise for this has me making the purchase. I also echo your Death Standing original playthrough, adding DS2 to my wish list after I pour hours into the new Dynasty Warriors
@Nnfyrbsnss @Pixiebellgames I was going say it reminds me of the cats from the Movie "Mirrormask". I always forget how to add images. If curious though Google will show you.
Very happy with this list. The top 4 games I had wishlisted for a very deep deep sale and Soul Caliber 3 will be the first premium classic game ill play.
Im having a blast with it. Im about 15 hours in just turned lvl 20. Im enjoying the story and the huge variety of side content. My biggest issue is that you only get one character for now. You can't delete or start over. VERY IMPORTANT to choose the way you want to play as you can't change to legend difficulty after you start. They are working on adding or at least being able to start over with a new character. Overall I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
@BassRider yeah that is too bad, I would have co-oped with my daughter. I will still have her make my character as she is great at that with hundreds of hours in sims.
@BassRider You can play some parts of the storylines with friends, as the game supports up to four-player co-op for open-world exploration and side quests. However, the main storyline missions must be completed solo, though you can summon friends for help with boss fights
It gives me hope they will have support for awhile. The ps6 doesn't interest me besides being the latest and greatest when it comes out. I am happy with my ps5 and jumped to it for the quick load times. Ill jump to the ps6 when ps5 support just about ends.
I liked the settlement building; funneling enemies though turret and mined alleys was fantastic. The story snd rpg side was soso, but the freedom to upgrade settlements kept me coming back
Cant wait for where winds meet. I've been watching and reading about it for the past month or so. I can't get enough, hence the forum page i started. It looks like such a great world to explore with a crazy amount of play style options.
Its a decent month I think. Stray is a fantastic game. Ill dabble in the wrc, but racing games tend to bore me quickly. Im.most looking forward to the silly battle simulator.

Re: Crimson Desert Confirms PSSR 2 on PS5 Pro, But Glowing Previews All Based on PC Version
I hope its good. I pre-ordered it, only due to my lack of will power to not by something else instead while I had the credit.

Re: Crimson Desert Tech Analysis Raises More Questions About PS5 Performance
It is set to run on so many versions, that i think there will some kinks, but overall should be ok on base ps5.

Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
A rare preorder for me. Mostly due to me possibly spending the money on a game sale that I wouldn't have time for when this comes out.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Nioh 3?
@ECharles same idea for me. Only so many hours to sink into a large game for the first quarter to half of year and Crimson Desert is my number 1

@dskatter wow I didnt know. Ill check them out. Thank you!
Re: If Crimson Desert Wasn't Ambitious Enough, It Also Has a Mech and Two More Playable Characters
@PuppetMaster think of it more like steampunk or in D&D terms a gnome artificer. It ties in better that way to medieval times.
My only true worry is still the finger yoga that may be needed for combat. Everything else looks fantastic.

Re: Pirate RPG Sea of Remnants Has Some Seriously Ambitious Post-Launch Plans
If they can pull it off where it is strictly cosmetic and fun single player like Where Winds Meet, ill dare to walk the plank.

Re: Skyrim-Like RPG Tainted Grail Proves a Huge Success
