I remember how exciting it was to drive around a town top down view and that was, Who Framed Roger Rabbit on Nintendo. Amazing how far technology and game design has come.
DD dark arisen is one of my favorite games of all time. Definitely worth a play through. The graphics don't hold up very well and the traversal can be a bit rough, but everything else is fantastic. The pawn system is unique and fun. Magic actually takes time to cast which makes it seem more real for me. And when you go out at night without a torch it is pitch black, not that blue tint and still be able to see night, just black. I could keep talking about this game, but for free I definitely recommend you give it a shot.
May try a few of the others, but nothing to make me leave NMS at the moment.
From reviews the game seems to be slower paced than the original. Almost closer to a walking Sim. Maybe that's due to what they couldn't show. Sadly this may keep me from the game as my patience for these makes me drop it faster.
Sadly even with this control scheme it seems to complicated for me. It is cool that you can do all these complicated moves, however im too old and dont jave enough time for all of that. I need to find an old school hockey like those from the late 90s. I did pick up Legend Bowl and it's perfect for me. Maybe they will make a hockey game next.
Big fan of Souls likes, but Lies of P looks unimpressive to me. Maybe it's the Layout as the combat looks decent and the reviews are great. It's just everytime I watch a video I'm not itching to buy it. Lord's of the Fallen on the other hand will be my next pick-up. I love Souls games that you get lost in and then suddenly you open a door and your back at the bonfire. I'll play Lies of P on a deep sale or psplus.
Since the latest hot fix, I'm now having split screen issues. Whenever my daughter listens to my conversation, when done,her side camera follows me. She then has to talk to someone to kick it back to her.
I was interested for a long while, but the demo turned me off a bit. The timing on the parry was to precise and not in a get gud scenario. I may play it if comes to psplus.
It's too bad, as I am a big fan of the franchise. I was one of the slim hopes for post timed exclusive release and then to ps5. I do think in the end they will lose out on some money just like Sony does on its exclusives. As long as great RPGs keep coming it won't be as big of a loss.
@IMustardMitt while Black Desert is an MMO, it can be enjoyed solo. I played solo for quite some time and had a blast. Fun areas. Huge places to explore. Like many MMOs though after 30+ hours it can get quite grindy, unless you start grouping up that is. That is when I dropped it.
@colonelkilgore fantastic! Enjoy! If you like guides, #lemoneatingcow had some good ones. I'm not sure if he was on twitch or youtube. It has been a long time.
Looks too complicated for me. I just need a franchise mode with a simple draft. No mid-week chores to upgrade your character. Let them level up based on performance in game with a bit of auto leveling. Think I'll try that techmo bowl remake.
@KaijuKaiser For me that's the great thing about this game. It will take me forever to beat it, but I plan on playing much like a D&D session. We get together once twice a month to play. As far as this game, I plan on playing more than that of course, but over time I'll add other games and this will just be played less frequently.
@deathaxe I had that spell in Pathfinder wotr. It turned my whole party into bears. Was fun for a bit, but pathfinder was brutal if you were not optimized.
As I have been so excited for this game, I'm trying not to spoil the story yet I keep watching videos. I've resigned to watching videos but fast-forwarding dialog and just watching combat and traversal. I'm going to try and only watch act 1 as well. Hopefully I can hold off. Less than a month away!
I'll be waiting for the ps5 version as my cpu can handle BG1 and 2 but not 3. Ill watch plenty of videos though and try to avoid major spoilers. Have fun yoi PC owners
@Khayl very true and a couple of the origin characters are tempting. However I always make my own on a first play through if possible. That does remind me I have to go back and play Fane or Lohse in DOS 2. What type are you planning on playing?
They are definitely putting a lot of effort into this and it is much appreciated. I'm still debating on which class. Must watch more videos. We will all soon have a plethora of them thanks to pc release ina couple days.
Divinity is a great world setting. A new game or a full remake of Divine Divinity would be fantastic. I will probably still be playing BG3 when that comes out on my 40th play through.

Re: ARK: Survival Ascended Looks Stunning in Gorgeous Gameplay
@Arkantos2990 @Brydontk thanks for the feedback. Ill see if my daughter is interested and if the reviews hold up, I may pick up the new one.
Re: ARK: Survival Ascended Looks Stunning in Gorgeous Gameplay
Can you play solo in this or previous game? If so, is it fun? Can you couch co-op? If yes to 2 of 3 of these, I may jump on board.

Re: Build the Cat Cafe of Your Dreams in Calico on PS5, PS4
An odd game from the looks of it, but may have just enough for me to buy on a sale.
Re: Warhammer RTS Realms of Ruin PS5 Gets Final Faction Focus Trailer
Seems like a total war lite. I think it might have legs if it comes straight to gamepass or psplus, but otherwise it may get lost in the shuffle.
Re: It's True! Lies of P Sales Surpass One Million Units
@Constable_What thanks for the heads up. Think ill wait for a sale then maybe pick up Spiderman 2 instead.

Re: Amy, Knuckles, and Tails Playable in Last Sonic Frontiers Update, Out Now
Did they ever fix the pop-in? That is what stopped me from purchasing. Still leaning towards waiting for a psplus drop.
