My opinion, but I don’t see gta6 topping cyberpunk for me. CP2077 2.0 and phantom liberty are one of my all time favorite game experiences. And that’s from someone who is very burnt out on massive games.
His quote about wanting to get back to the PSX and ps2 era mind set and ethos is exactly what I’ve been craving in modern gaming. This game was already on the radar. Even more so now!
I’m tired of 50+ hour games. I get wanting to put value in. But a focused 15-30 hour game is far more enjoyable to me than a game crammed with bloat and lack of focus.
@Odium I’m still playing the first. But Niohs combat is absolutely immaculate. It lacks Froms level design and boss fights however so far. Sekiro is more or less a perfect game in my view. Such a complete experience that keeps its eyes on the prize all the way through.
BB is 2nd only to Sekiro. Honestly none of the other From souls games kept my interest through the end other than those two. Sekiro is just a focused and engaging from beginning to end for me. I prefer the faster combat of those two. Elden ring had me for a while but the game is just too dang long.
Plugging away at Nioh still. Another commenter turned me to focusing on armor and the bonuses from them rather than on straight stats ala dark souls. Thank you whoever that was. It was a big change in how I’ve been playing!
I'm excited for a lot of the new IPs coming this year. This probably won't make 2025. But if it did. This is a game I'm not terribly excited for so far. The trailer gave me marvel movie vibes, and for my money I'm beyond tired of marvel movies and that style of story telling. Hopefully I'm wrong. When NG is rolling their games are so special.
Looks like it has potential! This is the first year I’m super excited for what this gen has to offer. There have definitely been great games along the way. But as far as a through out the year line up. ‘25 is looking pretty pretty pretty decent
I wonder how I’d feel about it now if I went back to it. I never finished it when it came out and was so put off by it I didn’t play a nother final fantasy until ff7r.
Even if only a hand full suckers pay extra to play a few days early it makes it worth it to the publisher/devs. It costs pretty much nothing to them to milk a few extra dollars out of people who can’t wait.
@Spedfrom thinking that episode is boring doesn’t make someone neither a chud or a bigot. He said it felt like a filler episode. I agree. But that doesn’t automatically mean that I think the content of it is offensive or whatever. Relax.
Plugging away at Nioh. Just finished the second region and the third region just hit me like a brick. I felt like i was making good progress then that just came to a screeching halt. I gotta rethink how I’m approaching the game and re work my build a little. Just don’t feel like I’m doing any damage anymore and everything is 2 shoting me. Still hooked. Gonna figure out what I need to do without grinding levels and get through this.
Finally got around to starting Nioh. Always wanted to get into these games and it’s got me hooked. Team ninja just knows combat. It’s so fun and addictive. The level design isn’t my favorite. But I’m loving just about every other aspect of the game. Except the water level with all the spots to fall in. Ooof… rage. Almost threw my ps portal across the room when I lost all my amrita by drowning. Great stuff though!
Ps2 doesn’t rank as high for me because I was clinging onto hope that my Dreamcast would survive the generation. Alas, I eventually caved, sold it and got a ps2. It was around the time my interest in gaming waned for quite some time. I didn’t really get back into it until I got a ps4pro. I always had consoles and gamed a bit. Especially for halo 3 and gears of war.
But if I ranked the PlayStations:
PSX Ps2 PS4 PS3 Ps5
Pretty easy call on those for me. I find myself mostly playing older games on ps5 with only a few games this gen that really got me. Returnal and cyberpunk 2.0+ phantom liberty being those.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on Potential $80 PS5 Games?
Doesn’t really matter games aren’t actually finished anyway until they’re fully patched and by then they’re discounted by quite a lot.

Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Of course it’s expensive. Thems Liberation Day prices baby!
Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Looks Solid But the Many PS5, PS4 Ports Won't Spook Sony Yet
Yeah the prices suck. But let’s be honest here. This was going to happen anyway. Everything is more expensive.

@DonJorginho love this game. So much. Hahaha
Re: New Batman Game Appears to Be Targeting PS6
It’s wild to think that it’s past the midway point this gen and I only have 3 games that are current gen only not cross with ps4.
Re: CD Projekt Red Reports Third-Best Year of Net Profit without Releasing Any New Games

Re: Intergalactic PS5 Is Playable Internally and Incredible, According to Naughty Dog
Of course they’re going to say that. It’s like every band says the same thing about the new album. Then it’s either mid or a stinker.

Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Collector's Edition So Impressive It Gets Its Own Trailer
So hyped for this game. Not the collector edition of course. Because I’m a cheap *****. But I will 100% be getting this game once it’s 50% off.
Re: PlayStation Employs Bulletstorm Dev to Make New PS5 Game Based on Sony IP
If it’s not a live service game that’s going to be canceled and eventually shut the dev down, I’m going to be very disappointed in Sony.

Re: Death Stranding 2 Puts Early Access Incentives Under the Microscope All Over Again
@twitchtvpat my bad. I should have been more clear. I was referring to the early access portion only. Not the deluxe edition extras.
That being said. It’s doesn’t really bother me too much. It’s not something I’d really want to pay extra for. But it is kind of sleazy.

Re: Gallery: Death Stranding 2 Is a Proper PS5 Stunner in New Screenshots
Oh man! This is probably the most excited I’ve been for a game since uncharted 2. Any game with a character named Die Hardman has my support.

Damn! Too soon! I wanted to play the directors cut before it came out. Figured I’d have till the fall-ish.
