After finally picking up a PS5 this week I've been making my way through Demon's Souls and just started Returnal today. Picked it up as part of the current sale going on.
Continuing my push through Sekiro after a brief hiatus. The guardian ape is no more. Also finally got a PS5 ordered through Sony. It was a pretty easy process signed up for the marketing emails and within a few weeks they sent me an invite. I'm super hyped to finally get to play Demon's Souls
Such a talented studio and definitely looking forward to this. My favorite Arkane game is still Dark Messiah. I had an absolute blast with it and that kick move was lethal.
I absolutely loved this game one of the best of 2020. That first combat experience though I was frantically trying to figure out how to lock on until I realized that I couldn't. I was a bit annoyed with that at first but eventually you don't really need it. The combat works great as is in my opinion. Definitely looking forward to this expansion. Will still be playing this on PS4 Pro since getting a PS5 has yet to happen for me. And not sure I'd pay to upgrade anyway I just want to play the new area. The game already looks amazing
Continuing my Eurojank journey through Elex and really enjoying it for what it is. The world itself is very interesting to explore although everything in it wants to absolutely murder me.
Elden Ring is my first choice by far. A Plague Tale was such a good game and my personal pick for game of the year when it released so definitely excited to continue the story. Eiyuden Chronicle is 3rd for me. Absolutely loved Suikoden back in the day and this looks like it could fill that spot since Konami has no interest in doing so.
This is still the only next gen game that I consider a must play. Ratchet and Clank and Returnal look awesome and I'm sure I'll play them at some point but they're not high up on the list. Plus the fact that I don't have a PS5 yet kinda limits what I can play
Played through this on PS4 Pro and there were a few issues mostly some weird pop in but I didn't encounter anywhere near the problems that some did. There's a very good game under all this mess and if they would have just delayed it again instead of releasing it in such a state they would have been so much better off. Sure there would have been people mad that it was delayed again and the investors wanted that holiday 2020 money but they lost the good will they had with gamers which is ultimately more valuable in the long run. Oh and they need to try to control the hype better next time. It was through the roof for a game that was only going to disappoint.
Just finished up PS4 Ratchet and Clank last night and really enjoyed it. Will eventually pick up the new one whenever that elusive PS5 comes my way. Today trying to wrap up Kingdom Come Deliverance which I've been playing since day 1. Yeah I have a bad habit of not finishing games before I start a new one lol
After finishing RE8 then RE4 I'm once again attempting to play RE6 and wow it's just as bad as I remember. Started with Leons campaign and it's been a roundhouse fest so far. Have been a huge RE fan since the first game and this is the only main entry I haven't finished. I'm gonna try my best to finally suffer through it
Should be finishing up my current playthrough of RE4 and continuing on with Biomutant at about 15 hours right now. I don't know what it is but I find the game quite charming. It doesn't do anything particular great but it gives me old school vibes and a sense of nostalgia playing it. Definitely should have been a $40 game at most though.
Finished RE8 last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. Will be interesting to see where the story goes from there. The setting made me want to start a new playthrough of RE4 and about 2 hours in so far. I just realized the one and only time I've ever played through it was at release on GameCube. Also making my way through ME1 as a renegade this time
The cast of characters is so great and being able to mostly play through 3 games with them is awesome. Garrus is definitely my pick though for best squad mate. Played the trilogy a few years ago as male paragon this time went femshep renegade. I'm loving the renegade dialog choices already
I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced. Definitely expecting some jank here and there but I'm fine with that. PS4 Pro here so whatever frame rate and resolution it's running I'll be fine with that
So since I don't have a PS5 can I play this Yuffie dlc on PS4? I'm assuming I can if I pay for it but all I ever see mentioned is it being available on PS5
I picked it back up and continued playing after the update and absolutely loved it. Still some jank here and there but I had no major issues on PS4 Pro. Immediately started up a new game after the credits rolled. It's definitely not perfect and it can't hold a light to Witcher 3 in my opinion but I still very much enjoyed it none the less. Another year in the oven would have made a world of difference though and CDPR would looked a whole lot better in the long run
Absolutely loved Days Gone although it was a bit rough at first. After a few patches it really turned around. The ending was awesome and I would really like to see where they take the story. Definitely not looking forward to a Last of Us remake. How about Syphon Filter or Resistance reboot instead
Playing through Silent Hill again on PS3 and I just really hate the fact that these games will become even harder to play for future gamers. The thing that I don't understand is if you can still log on and redownload why couldn't they also keep the option to purchase. You have to authenticate your previous purchase so it seems this would be doable.
I really hope they at least leave the ability to redownload our purchased games. That would be a bad move on Sony if they take that away. I still regular play ps3 and Vita. Actually just purchased 3 games last week for them. RE Directors Cut, MGS 2 and Silent Hill Origins. There's several more I'd like to pick up as well. Really hope this isn't true
Finally played through Zodiac Age last year and I mostly enjoyed it although it did seem to overstay it's welcome a bit. 6 will forever be my favorite. The story, characters and setting are so good. And that soundtrack is absolutely fantastic.
I would really like to play that FF7 bonus content. Not enough to buy a PS5 yet assuming that I could even find one but I definitely would have picked it up on PS4
I enjoyed this quite a bit. It can feel clunky and unpolished in places but they absolutely nailed the atmosphere and setting. I paid about $25 and for that it's well worth it if you enjoy this type of game.
If this does well I wonder what's the odds of us getting a Drakengard trilogy collection. Would really like a chance to play 1 and 2 since 3 is the only one I've played
I have an issue with my original DS4 where the left stick wants to stutter as you're moving. It's very noticeable in TLOU2 which is how I first realized something was wrong. Joycon drift though is on a whole other level. I have 2 sets and they were all doing it which is especially frustrating in the last lap of Mario Kart. Sent them in to Nintendo and they repaired them. No issues anymore
@Royalblues Not like that at all it's almost like it makes those 5 playthroughs (A, B, C, D, E endings) into one longer game. It adds so much to the story and characters and in my opinion it doesn't waste your time at all. Also they aren't all the same playtime so it's not near as bad as it sounds.
@NYJetsfan123 I was late to the TLOU2 party myself and I honestly feel like it's one of the best games I've ever played. And this is from someone who was so mad at the leaks they cancelled their preorder. High 20s is about right. As soon as I was finished I went back to each chapter grabbing all the stuff I missed. I can't remember a game hitting me like that ever. And to me the ending makes perfect sense after thinking on it.
Finished up The Evil Within 2 last night and I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Starts out kinda meh but quickly turns out all sorts of crazy. I'm hoping for a part 3 although not sure that will ever happen. Ghostwire Tokyo just doesn't look as appealing to me. Today working on finishing up Days Gone which I've been playing off and on since it released. It has really picked up steam as it gets close to the end. Bend did a pretty good job with this would definitely play a sequel.
In no hurry at this point to pick one up. Other than Demon's Souls which I already have on PS3 there's nothing on it that my PS4 Pro can't play. Sure the games would look better and have a better framerate on PS5 but that's not a huge deal to me. Bloodborne is when I finally got a PS4 so I'll wait for something must have to come along.
New game plus on TLOU2 grabbing the rest of the trophies. Then I'm thinking a new game plus of God of War. I've put Cyberpunk away for now and AC Valhalla just isn't doing it for me for whatever reason
Just finished 4 about an hour ago and really enjoyed it. Lost Legacy coming up next. The ending seemed to be a great stopping point although I'm curious if they could continue with Sam or possibly have Cassie starting out on her own.
After avoiding TLOU2 for so long because of the spoilers I finished it a few days ago and was absolutely blown away. So now I'm running back through TLOU Remastered and almost to the end. There's also Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Yakuza Like a Dragon and Immortals to get back to at some point
Ghost of Tsushima was definitely a pleasant surprise. I didn't look for it to be anything extraordinary just a good enough game but it ended up being my game of the year. Would love to see where they could go with the story
I didn't play the trilogy until a month or so before Andromeda came out and it ended up being one of my best gaming experiences ever. The characters and story are so good and I didn't want that to end. Andromeda on the other hand was just kinda blah in comparison.
After being completely uninterested after the leaks I'm now around 20 hours into The Last of Us 2 and I can say I was completely wrong and wish I would have played it sooner. While I still don't agree with every story decision the overall presentation is right up there with the best of the best. Ghost of Tsushima was my favorite game of 2020 but I'm thinking by the end of this first playthrough that may change
Just goes to show where Sony had their focus. It's all about the games. I'm gonna have to say Bloodborne. Bought a PS4 the day Bloodborne came out and it absolutely didn't disappoint. The struggle was real because I had never played anything like it before. And Old Hunters what an amazing expansion that was
I've never understand the enjoyment of cheating. It really seems pointless to go out if your way to trick people into thinking you're better at something. Is clout really that important to people? I pretty much play offline single player but have recently started playing Rocket league and it is great. The only issue I see is people love to quit the match as soon as their team starts losing. I don't see the point in doing that. Seems like very poor sportsmanship. Stick it out and learn from your mistakes and get better. And most importantly have fun. With all the craziness in our world having fun should be number 1 on the list
Absolutely agree Ghost of Tsushima is incredible. Was definitely not expecting it to be my favorite game of 2020 before starting it. That opening scene sets up an amazing story. I also think they did right with the characters and side quests. I never once felt like I was wasting my time which is usually my biggest gripe.
Have been stuck in quarantine for the last week with just my Switch and I've been hooked on Paper Mario The Origami King. Had no idea I would enjoy this so much. Also finishing up Link's Awakening. Finally be able to get back to the living room where the other systems are I'll be picking back up with Cyberpunk, Yakuza Like a Dragon and Valhalla once again
@mwatcher I'm not so sure because didn't Microsoft pay for exclusive marketing for this. I can't even imagine playing this on an OG Xbox One though. PS4 Pro has been mostly stable and I'm enjoying the heck out of it so far

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Return to the PlayStation Store on the 21st June
