Re: Talking Point: Is Forza Horizon 5's PS5 Price Point Too High?

HeavymetalGordon

I think price is fair considering it's new release on PS and Sony takes 30%. But, when full price I always buy physical copy so no way I buy digital game for full price. Will definitely wait for big discount. The same is valid for any other Xbox game ported to ps5, I honestly hope Gears collection will be physical release, if yes, I'll even preorder it

Still on Dark Souls 3...main game finished. Ashes of Ariandel DLC done - shorter DLC but Sister Friede boss fight was absolutely fantastic! Now I´m on Ringed City DLC and oh boy, still lot to do here. Already in the city area after cool fight with Demon Prince, so the hardest bosses still ahead

Hopefully will be able to finish this DLC and if I do, will definitely play some platformer for a change

Have a nice weekend and enjoy your gaming, everyone!

Re: Sony's Pricey PS5 Pro Is Now Being Outpaced by PS4 Pro Launch Aligned in the US

HeavymetalGordon

I really like new HW but for me the biggest issue with pro is its price. Where I live it's 800€ without disc drive, disc drive + stand is additional 130€, that's ridiculous! I already have 4k oled 120hz so should be able to benefit from pro console, but I will not pay this money this time (I had ps4 pro) and will simply not support pro console without disc and stand. Honestly, will definitely wait and consider what ps6 brings to the table and what price it will cost, as I'm really happy with my OG ps5 and will have to see some real benefit to upgrade to ps6 in case ps5 will be still supported like ps4 was this gen

At the end of Dark Souls 3 main game - managed to defeat Nameless King couple days ago and now trying to beat final boss Soul of Cinder. In the meantime also getting through first DLC Ashes of Ariandel - my ass being kicked by Sister Friede right now, after few tries only able to reach phase two still lots to overcome but really enjoying the game.

I'm looking forward to watching PM tomorrow - Man City vs Liverpool FC, hopefully we'll have great match.

Have a nice weekend a happy gaming, everyone!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 568

Still on Dark Souls 3 - on the way to Nameless King and last Lord of Cinder. DS1 is a masterpiece but DS3 is just better game overall in my opinion. I also bought both DLC´s for DS3 so will be playing this game for next few weeks, I´m afraid...but usually I´m not very keen to finish any DLC once main game is done, with only few exceptions like Bloodborne DLC, so let´s see...

When I´m done with DS3 I´ll probably give Returnal another try after Saros reveal during last SoP. I tried this already when it came to Extra some time ago, but after 1 hour and not much progress I gave up and thought this is just not for me, but sometimes 2nd try worked for me in the past so want to try harder this time and see what happens.

Have a nice weekend and happy gaming, everyone!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for February 2025?

HeavymetalGordon

Since we're not getting any showcase anymore I'm afraid, I can't blame gamers expect more 1st party in SoP's now. So absolutely understand they are dissapointed and share it in the comments.

For me this SoP was just okay. Would love to see lot more I'm petsonally interested in (Bloodborne ps5 native version in the 1st place), but as someone who had huge backlog of older titles, I take it as it is.

One thing that was really dissapointing though is no RE announcement - I honestly expected RE9 or new remake to be shown here, hope Capcom will bring it soon

Re: What Time Is PlayStation's State of Play for February 2025?

HeavymetalGordon

I´ll be there for sure, I like this format and tbh, I´d rather take 4-5 SoP during a year than 1 showcase, but that´s just me of course.

I don´t care Death Stranding 2 but expect Ghost of Yotei to get short gameplay trailer and release date.

Any surprises will be very welcome:

  • new Uncharted game
  • new Resident Evil or remake
  • anything Bloodborne related
  • God of War collection, Gears of War collection, Resistance collection, MGS 4 remaster...
  • new IP from Santa Monica
  • next FromSoft game reveal
  • what´s next for Bluepoint

There´s a lot to expect, hope there will be some nice surprises for all of us!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 567

HeavymetalGordon

Will continue playing Dark Souls 3 - 2 lords of cinder boss fights ahead, probably will be stuck on them some time.

With kids will be checking some levels in Astrobot, downloaded Pac-man from plus for them to try.

On NSW lite checked demo for latest Donkey Kong game, it's fun so I'll buy it for kids any time soon I guess.

Have an excellent weekend ya'll!

Re: Poll: How Long Does It Take You to Beat a Big RPG?

HeavymetalGordon

For me big RPG's are souls games created by FS...Elden Ring is my most played game ever with around 250hrs incl. DLC (took me 3-4 months), then it's Bloodborne + DLC with around 180hrs (my only platinum I have), Dark Souls Remastered + DLC around 90hrs...now I'm playing Dark Souls 3 - this will take some weeks definitely. Apart from souls games, most played are God of War 2018 and Days Gone with 80hrs. When I like the game, I want to do most of stuff. I'm yet to play Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 but afraid of big open worlds...usually 1 big RPG a year for me so let's see...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 565

HeavymetalGordon

I decided that's again time for some self-torture so started Dark Souls 3 Only in the 4th area and already 11hrs played, as usual beginning is the worst where I spent some 7hrs. This game will keep me busy for next couple of weeks but I'm ready for a challange.

Whatever you're playing, enjoy and have fun. Happy gaming, ya'll!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 564

HeavymetalGordon

I finished Tomb Raider Definitive Edition 2 days ago, just rushed through main story this time as I already played it few years ago on PC. Hopefully we'll see something more from new Tomb Raider game.

Now not yet sure what to play next from my backlog, lot of options: Dark Souls 3, Stellar Blade, HZD Remastered, Mass Effect LE, Control...also picked up Witcher 3 Complete Edition for my collection, eoulf love to start it some time but not sure if I'm willing to commit fully right now.

Whatever you're playing, have fun

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 561

HeavymetalGordon

I finished Silent Hill 2 remake just 2 days ago, but not sure what to play next yet...definitely something from my huge backlog.

Today my sons started Astrobot I bought them for xmas, they´re very happy with it. Of course, I´ll be helping them out whenever needed because they´re still young and not so skilled yet, but yeah it´s great to see how they´re enjoying the game. no surprise at all as they love Astro´s playroom.

Have a nice weekend and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!

Re: Poll: What Are Your Gaming Plans for the Holidays?

HeavymetalGordon

I´m going to finish Silent Hill 2 remake first. Then I should be playing something from my backlog, but...I picked Tomb Raider DE on a sale, I played it years ago on PC and kind of missing Lara so I want to replay it on ps5 now. I also picked Astrobot for my sons as xmas gift so will definitely enjoy helping them out whenever they need to...

Wish you all Merry Christmas and a lot of great games under Xmas tree!

Re: Feature: Why Would Sony Want to Buy Kadokawa?

HeavymetalGordon

I´m not here to say it´s good or bad if it actually happens in the future, but at least I can say it makes sense for Sony to buy them. Absolute opposite to Firewalk acquisition, until today I don´t get why they decided to buy them with none successful release before, blame on Hulst here

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 553

HeavymetalGordon

Lots of games to play but still in that funny mood to keep jumping between several games and not sticking with any for much longer, but I take it easy tbh. Last couple of days enjoying arcade racing in Grid Legends. I´ve put some games on-hold and started Silent Hill 2 remake for Halloween season...also upgraded HZD for 10eur and downloading right now - I played some hours on ps4 but stopped and never came back, but I find this remaster a good opportunity now to jump back.

Have a nice weekend and happy gaming!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 550

HeavymetalGordon

I´ve struggled for some time to find a game I´d like to play and enjoy, but it´s about my birthday time so I pushed the button on bying WH40k Space Marine 2 and Stellar Blade for my ps5...started with Space Marine 2 and that´s what I´ll be playing this weekend.

I´m also very tempted to buy Silent Hill 2 remake after all great reviews and reception overall, but performance mode needs some improvement so I´ll wait till it´s patched, but definitely will buy later on.

Have a nice weekend and happy gaming, all!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 547

HeavymetalGordon

I tried Tales of Arise on ps5 which is not my cup of tea in general, but not fully clicked with me so I put it aside for now and started Mass Effect Legendary Edition yesterday - I played prologue in MS1 several times but then always something else grabbed my attention so I really wanna give it a go this time as considered one of the best trilogy in gaming history.

On NSWL I'm playing Cocoon - really charming game with great puzzles.

And of course, today in PL big match ManCity vs Arsenal, looking forward to it.

Have a nice weekend and happy gaming, folks!

Re: Rumour: Days Gone PS5 Remaster Speculation Starts to Spread

HeavymetalGordon

I like Days Gone, but remaster is waste of time and resources just like HZD remaster. Both are running 60fps on ps5 via BC, both are already on PC - this is really ridiculous to me! Sony, please give us what players want. I don´t mind remasters, but something what you know players are asking for long time - like Bloodborne, older ps2-ps3 classics. I honestly don´t understand what Sony is doing...and also negatively surprised by the poll result too, such remasters should not be supported by ps players imo to show Sony ´stop with this nonsense and bring us new games´ something like that...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 546

HeavymetalGordon

This weekend I'll be trying some new games and let's see what clicks with me that I will continue playing on...on PS5 it's Tales of Arise and Mortal Shell, on NSWL it's Cocoon and Vampire Survivors...especially with VS, everyone is saying how addictive and fun it is, so I'm curious if true for me too.

Have a nice weekend and happy gaming, y'all!

Re: PS5 Players Choose Performance Mode 75% of the Time

HeavymetalGordon

with native ps5 games I always choose performance - it also has influence on the ps5 games I buy. If no 60fps option, I don´t buy. 30fps acceptable for me only with ps4 games like Bloodborne. I can´t understand those who saying they don´t see any difference - this is impossible to not see it in action/FPS games at least. It took my eyes some time to adapt when I came back from Elden Ring to Bloodborne, it´s so noticable...however, I don´t mind to buy ps5 pro. Hope my ps5 will still offer performance option also in the future, expect that at least with 1st party titles

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545

HeavymetalGordon

After I finished Dark Souls Remastered with DLC about 1,5 week ago, I just had to take a break from gaming - it was great experience but very exhausting too. Today I installed again Elden Ring - Shadow of the Erdtree - I rage quit on final boss a month ago. I simply need to take him down finally!!!

Happy gaming, folks!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 543

HeavymetalGordon

Dark Souls Remastered DLC (ps5) - few days ago I beat Knight Artorias and it´s definitely my favorite boss battle so far in the whole game (final boss of base game still to beat). Now I´m at Kalameet and Manus and they´re beating my ass like hell Let´s see, hope I will beat Manus at least tonight and if I do it´s just final boss of the game. But in general, what a game, what a masterpiece!

After that I´ll try demo of Visions of Mana and probably start The Last of Us Part2 Remastered before anything else. Definitely will need a break from souls(like) games for some time

Have a nice weekend and happy gaming, everyone!
