@Steeleye50 im jealous you were able to play the beta. Those random events besides a sense of discovery really makes this open world amazing. Maybe we can help each other out for those story line events that lean towards co-op. I play games 99% solo unless its SWBF2. I dont use a mic, but this could still be fun co-op not mic'd. I like the hop in, hop out style.
@enuo @steeleye25 same here. I have watched many Videos and read many articles recently regarding Where Winds Meet. Im not sure why it's flying under the radar. Including not even a mention here. It looks fantastic and sounds like it plays great too. The only flaws im hearing are pop in issues and many systems not explained well. I can handle that and im sure the final release will improve upon those issues. The fact that it is free to play and not having pay to win models astounds me. Ill probably pay the 15 for pre-order just to support that model.
Too bad, but if a little polish helps that fine. It was my top wishlist for the year. I am enjoying the heck out of Hell is Us demo. The music and vibe are great. My only worry is if the fights become to repetitive. Will wait for reviews.
Crimson desert is my top choice, however I read recently about the over complication of buttons and it has me a bit worried.
"The most maddening example, though, comes when Kliff has to pick up something heavy. This left me in disbelief, not once but twice. The first time was at the start of the demo, where I had the seemingly simple task of picking up a large standard that flew the flag of the Greymanes, moving it a few feet, and inserting it into a metal base to claim an outpost for the clan. This required me to press both thumbsticks in to activate Kliff's super strength power, aim at the flag and press X and Square together to select it, rapidly press X to raise it from the floor, press Triangle to secure it above my head, walk to the base, hold L1 to aim at it, then press R1 to place it. All this to pick up and plant a flag"
Loving the game so far. I was a bit worried about the parry difficulty, but even on normal it just takes a bit of practice per mob. I'm nearing end of act 1 I believe. We will see how I'm liking after I finish.
Quite the big difference on prices for Space Marine 2 US vs UK. Must sell better state side. Nothing of interest I dont already own. Ill see if PS store has anything better.
Having a blast. I had one crash, but that's it. 25 hours in. Taking my time, enjoying the music. Not sure where I left my horse so running everywhere. I am discovering so much more because of it. I'm happy with or without a patch.
I have enjoyed them all to some extent. My favorite has been Tiny Tinas Wonderland. Anything D&D related has a special place in my heart and the humor related to it was fantastic.There were many Nostalgic quests. The smurf quest was fantastic. This new one looks fun. Probably not a day one buy, but definitely on a sale pick up for me.
I am enjoying it quite a bit. Not far in. Out of the sewers and swam across the lake into a dungeon. Saw i was ready to lvl up, but wasn't. Found out you need to sleep to do so. Interesting way to do it. I'm trying not to look up much, just be surprised what's around each corner.
Can't wait to jump in for a fifth time or is it sixth? Leaning shadow mage. Will be great making a group of shadow mages and 4 hounds. Sending darkness all around. You can't hit what you can't see.
Still looking forward to it. I enjoyed Black Desert and accepted the jank. This being open world is sure to have issues, but unless it's game breaking i feel it will be great
As long as they keep the make your own spell system ill be happy with just a graphical upgrade. I had so much fun making crazy spells. Yes you become OP, but the creativity is fantastic.
Played the demo for Tainted Grail a few times. Looking forward to it's full release. As this has piqued my interst again in knights of the round table and such, I also bought on sale Hand of Merlin. A bit tough to begin with, but getting stronger in this roguelike.
Still too steep a price for so few games. At that price I'd buy Meta Rayban glasses. I'd use those way more often and possible also get as much entertainment value out of them.
This is still my favorite game on ps5. I loved everything about it. Yes the beginning was hard, not nearly as hard as the third biome, but like most rogue lites getting that perfect run is amazing my favorite moment ever in a game is a climb up to the organ piper. The music/sound was superb. I loved it so much I contacted Housemarque to thank them. I've never done that before. I'm super excited for Saros.
@HappyGamerGirl @reddevilcat Red HappyGamer is right. You can save and exit an any point in the game from the main menu. Yes the schnapps is still thr , but is a non issue as the save and exit is ALWAYS available. It also saves everytime you sleep in an owned bed. Hope that helps clarify.

Characters look good,but like Sammy said the backgrounds are minimal. Might buy on a deep discount as im not that into fighting games.
Re: Mini Review: Dreams of Another (PS5) - A Disjointed, Abstract Curio and Little More
They should have taken some pointers from Unfinished Swan. That is how you shoot to unlock what you see. That also had a decent story.

Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Patch 1.3.0 Makes Big Balance and Difficulty Adjustments

Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) - Immersive Knight Sim Makes for a Peerless RPG
