Going to keep picking at Horizon FW. I got the shipping notice for my Series X so that cool. But mostly this weekend I’ll be watching auto racing. It’s the Monaco Gran Prix and the Indy 500. So that will occupy most of my time. Have a great weekend!

I bought a PS5 for Gran Turismo 7 and the new Horizon. And I’ve been disappointed by both. I bought a new Xbox to play Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. And was disappointed by both. So then I decided to go back to my switch and got Hades and Metroid Dread. And it was there that I discovered that good video games that are just about fun and mechanics and are actual video games still exist. This new generation of consoles has been nothing but a disappointment so far. I’m sure other things will come out that I will have interest in and have fun with. But right now I just want to play videos games. I know where I can find them.

I’m going to stay far away from this service until it’s had time to be out in the wild for like six months. I’ll just stick with the base ps plus I already have and Game Pass for now. None of this stuff they have announced sounds remotely worth what they want us to pay for it.

Still playing and loving the heck out of Metroid Dread. I think I’m getting near the end. I’m going to be sad when that one’s over. And as always I’m still trying to escape from Hades. But that just a here and there game. On PS5 I’m still going back to and forcing myself to play Horizon FW. I’m still not sucked into it like I was the first, but it is getting better. And when I’m in the mood for some mindless shooting I’m playing through the Modern Warfare Remaster campaign. It’s just big dumb fun. Have a great weekend!

I can’t wait for this. Klanoa was one of the very best PS1 games! I still run through it from time to time on the Vita.

This weekend I’m on the road for work. So I have my Switch in tow. I purchased Metroid Dread for the trip. I’m completely sucked into it. It’s my favorite game I’ve played this year! Also on Switch when I need a break from Metroid I’m still trying to escape Hades. That’s such a great handheld game. Have a great weekend everyone!

@Shigurui I hope you enjoy it. It’s actually my favorite Remedy game. I like it better than control.

@PenguinLtd that’s how I’m feeling with the game. I took a breaks from it for a while and played some smaller things. I picked it back up last week and have put another five levels and a few hours into it. And I feel like I’m having to force myself to play it. Where as with Zero Dawn it’s all I thought about even when I wasn’t playing. I’m going to give it a couple more hours and if it’s not grabbing me I think I’ll be done with it. It is a great game as far as quality goes. It looks incredible but I think for me I got everything I needed from this world in the first game. I’m worried I’m going to feel this way about all of Sony’s upcoming sequels. We will see.

I’ve never actually played a soccer/football game before. I have many friends tell me they a super fun. So I’ll give FIFA a go. Not sure about the other two.

I don’t expect any better treatment of this than they did when they crapped out the dismal PlayStation Classic mini console.

This weekend I’m taking a break from the big games. On Switch I’m trying my best to escape Hades. And on PS5 I’m replaying Yoku’s Island Express for the 3rd time. To put it like Jeff Gerstmen from Giant Bomb “it should be illegal how good that game is!” Have a great weekend everyone!

I’m not going to get yet another service. I have Plus now and that is fine. I pay for Game Pass already and just added the more expensive Nintendo switch online service. So I’m good on games. I’ll play a few big games a year in PlayStation and I’ll pay for them outright and that will be fine.

I’m going to take a wait and see approach in this. I’m guessing the library will be middling at best.

On Xbox One X I’m actually replaying Half-life 2 on the Orange Box. I haven’t played it since it came out in the original Xbox. It’s still an amazing game. I forgot how much it just grabs you and pulls you through it’s world. On PS5 I’m still working almost daily on Gran Turismo 7. I finished the Cafe mode. It was a great way get into the flow of the game. Now I think it’s time to jump into more online racing. Have a great weekend!

@lolwhatno on PS5 at 60fps it’s great! I’ve enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I like it bc it really flows from one quest to the next. I almost never do anything other than the suggested quest. So it’s got a really fun flowing progression. And I actually like the story and characters quite a bit.

On PS5 GT7, Days Gone and Hybroxia 2. On XBOneX I’m playing Far Changing Tides on Game pass. Have a great weekend everyone!

GT7 for PS5 has taken over my game time. And will pretty much be a staple game for the rest of the year and beyond. But when I need a break I’m still trying to work my way through the latter parts of Days Gone on PS5. I keep being surprised at how much I enjoy this game. It’s just sad that Sony sent it out to die and we will never get a sequel. Have a great weekend everyone!

On PS5 it’s GT7 with breaks for more Days Gone. Then It will be GT7 and Horizon FB. After that GT7 and what ever else I might play. I think it will be like this for the rest of this year probably. Happy Gaming weekend!

Gran Turismo 7 is the reason I bought a PS5. So it’s pretty much going to take over all of my gaming time for the foreseeable future.

I’ve been playing Days gone. Which feels so good to play. I purchased HFB and started it. And the control and feel of the game felt so bad I just quit. I don’t remember the first game feeling that bad to control. This was before the patch though so hopefully this helps. Bc I found it unplayable. I really want to play this game but only it doesn’t feel like that.

I’ll play it eventually. I Platinum’d the first one and absolutely loved it. But for some reason I’m just not excited about this sequel. I pick it up at some point down the line when it’s on sale. I’m sure it’s great but I don’t really feel like I needed more of that world and story. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Still working my way through Days Gone. Playing it on PS5 is such a huge difference from PS4.

This is the reason I bought a PS5! I’ve been with this series since day one. It’s the game I’ll play for a whole generation. Let’s go March!

I finally decided to restart Days Gone on PS5. I really didn’t like this game when I first tried it on PS4. But man this time with the PS5 patch running at 60fps, I totally get it now and I’m completely sucked in. It’s the exact kind of slow going open word exploration I’m looking for right now I guess. I’m also still working my way through Miles Morales. I can’t play that one for long stints. It only hold my attention for a couple of mission then I have to move on. But it is a great game. I’ll eventually get though it. Man does it look good on PS5. Have a great weekend!

I think it’s a possibility. But I don’t really care either way. I always own both systems and I already have GamePass. It’s great but I want to see what Sony does on the PS5. I go to each system for different reasons. I’ll happily keep doing so.

Being out of town for work this weekend I won’t be gaming. But I did have time to finish reading the first Dune novel. Such a great book! Have a great weekend!

Let’s all take a second and let the dust settle. Everyone will have great games. And the kinds of games most people come to PlayStation for are still going to be here. I want to see the PS+ overhaul be something really cool. But either way I’m still pumped to have a PS5. And I’m excited to see what the next five years has in store for all the consoles. Happy gaming!

That was great! Thank you! I was just thinking about doing a new game plus run, just through the story. Now I think I’ll hold off until the new game comes out. I did pop back into the game the other day on PS5 just to see what 60fps and better resolution looked like. Turns out it looked amazing and now I’m even more excited for the new game.

I chose 2 bc it’s one of my favorite games ever. But I loved lost legacy. It might actually be the best uncharted game. I actively disliked 4.

This weekend will be the continuation of trying out every game I have with a PS5 patch or upgrade. Now that I have the new system, I can’t stay on one game. I just want to see what they all look like. The stuff I have put a bit of time into is Dirt 5 and Miles Morales. What a great machine! Have a great weekend!

I’m currently playing the game of waiting for the delivery truck to show up with my PS5. But once I’m set up I’ll dive back into Miles Morales. I can’t wait to see the difference over my base PS4! I managed to snag one from the Sony invite program.

I predict we still won’t be able to get our hands on a PS5.

I’m traveling for the holiday so no games for me this weekend. I’m reading Dune instead. Merry Christmas!

@Cyrus29 I’m having the same reaction to it. I’m like six missions in and I don’t know if I’m going to go back to it. It’s fun to play but it’s just not what I go to Halo for. I’m glad I got it on game pass. If I’d payed full price for I’d be upset. I think I’ll go replay ODST or Combat Evolved again.

Loved this game and the whole trilogy on the OG Xbox. Can’t wait to see what this turns out to be. I don’t have much confidence in Ubisoft these days but I’ll stay optimistic.

@nathanSF they are selling them directly, but by invite only based on length of interest in their products. I actually got an invite but missed the window bc it was in the middle of the day and I was working.

A lower frame rate and slightly less pretty graphic are not something I focus on. If it feels as good as the first on my Base PS4. And the load times are similar, I’m totally fine playing on my old system. I can’t be bothered to play the BS game of finding a PS5.

Halo infinite on XB One X. It’s a good game. And it even looks great on that system. But I’m not hopelessly pulled into like I’ve been with every other Halos. I’m not sure I’m going to renew gamepass to keep playing it. I bounced off of Forza Horizon 5 as well. The problems is I’m not jazzed about anything on PlayStation either at the moment. I think it’s time to just catch up on some reading for a while. Have a great weekend!

Honestly I don’t really feel like this has been a particularly strong year. Nothing has really grabbed my attention. I liked Guardians of the Galaxy and a couple others. I didn’t get my hands on a PS5 this year but I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything. Next year is looking to be a great year. But it is a lot if of sequels. Even though they look amazing it would be cool to see some more new. Hopefully some cool stuff will be announced at the game awards and maybe E3 next year. In the meantime I’ll keep enjoying the games I have a working on the old backlog. There’s always something to play.

Been playing a bit of Halo Infinite. And just a little bit of Forza Horizon 5. But on PS4 I restarted InFAMOUS Second Son. I’m shocked at how good that game still looks on a base PS4. That HDR patch made a huge difference! Have a great weekend!

From the first time I ever moved the ship side to side on a screen on a Galaga Cabinet in the arcades in the early 80’s, I was hooked for life. It was like magic that I could interact with a thing on a screen. I went from a Commodore 64 to NES, Game Boy, SNES, PS1, Virtual Boy, N64, Dreamcast, GBA, Xbox, Wii, PSP, PS3, XB360, Vita, PS4, 3DS, Switch, Xbox One X and now I’m hunting for a PS5. Gaming has gotten me through some very tough times. And has also been part of making some lifelong friendships. It’s always been there for me and has taken me on some incredible journeys. I’m thankful to my uncle who put that first quarter in that Galaga machine and changed things for me forever. I’ve grown up with games and they have grown up with me. But every time I sit down to play it’s it’s still just as amazing to me as it was in 1984.

Any racing game is perfect for podcasts! Gran Turismo Sport and Drive Club are my go to.

On PlayStation Im just about finished with the second play through of Jedi Fallen Order. Just as fun the second time. On Xbox a bit if Forza Horizon 5 and a bit of Halo Infinite Multiplayer. Good to have some comfort food gaming.

Those are all great games and all look amazing. I’d say the one the speaks to my eye the most was Resident Evil 2 and God of War. Even on base PS4 all these looked good.

@Ralizah that’s exactly how I feel! They’ve got to diversify because as it is now it’s pretty stale. Here’s to hoping.

Still Forza Horizon 5 and I started another play through of Jedi Fallen Order. This time on PS4 last time it was on XB One X. Have a great weekend!

I want a PS5, it seams like a great upgrade over the PS4, but I don’t see anything that’s worth the hassle of trying to get one as of yet. I’m kind of getting fatigued by the Sony formula. They make incredible games and I have loved all of them I’ve played on PS4. However, right now all that has been announced is just more of the same. I’m super excited for Gran Turismo 5 but that’s about it. I think I’m just going to wait and see what else comes along and maybe pick one up in a year or so. There’s just not enough to justify it. That’s just my opinion.

This is the reason I want a PS5!

This brings back good memories. PS3 might just be my favorite PlayStation might be tied with PS1for me. Here’s my list of the best games I played for the PS3 during its run. It’s long but that just shows how good it was!
