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

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

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

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!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542

HeavymetalGordon

Dark Souls Remastered (PS5) - 2 lord souls in my pocket, 2 more remaining. After I finish this masterpiece, will definitely need a break from souls games

So Lies of P will have to wait and want to play some shorter games for change. Last of Us 2 Remastered already installed for some time so this might be the first one, then most probably Astrobot with my sons.

And of course I'll be watching Premier League from this weekend. Let's see if Arsenal or Liverpool are able to beat ManCity this season, I'd love to see that happen

Happy gaming, everyone!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 541

HeavymetalGordon

still on Dark Souls Remastered on ps5...slowly progressing and on the way to collect 4 lord souls. Already opened the path to DLC but as FS DLC´s are quite hard or harder than base games, I´d like to level up a bit and only after that jump in to DLC (before final area of base game). I accept the cult status of Dark Souls 1 but it´s definitely not better than Bloodborne in my opinion

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?

HeavymetalGordon

Right now my favorite genre for sure. It all started with Bloodborne for me which is still my favorite after I played Demon's Souls remake, Elden Ring with DLC (final boss still to beat though). Currently on Dark Souls Remastered, I plan in the future Dark Souls 3, Sekiro (not sure if I'm patient enough for this one) and Lies of P...also would like to give Nioh games and Wo Long a try later.

I tried several demos of soulslike games, but quickly found out they're not for me...there's something special in those cooked by FromSoft, hope Miyazaki still have something for us in the future

Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?

HeavymetalGordon

no change in the summer for me...married with 2 sons I have the same limited time for gaming during all year I play mainly in the evenings/nights when they sleep, so it all depends only on the game/s - once I´m hooked, then I play until finish the game. Usually I work on my backlog, currently returned back to Dark Souls Remastered - I quit 2,5 years ago on Capra Demon. Now it was 4th/5th try and defeated it...need to come back to Elden Ring/Shadow of The Erdtree - final boss made me rage quit, but I´ll be back for sure later this year.

Ideal summer for me, spend time with family during a day, gaming evening/night whenever I can. Enjoy your summer and happy gaming, everyone!

Re: Feature: The 10 Best PS5 Games of 2024 So Far

HeavymetalGordon

it´s Shadow of the Erdtree for me, despite I still haven´t beaten final boss - like basic game also DLC is just pure art in my eyes and hard to beat souls games FromSoft creating...

Among games released this year, I played demo of Stellar Blade and Prince of Persia and liked them both so definitely on my list of future purchases, and ofc I plan to buy Astrobot for my sons who adore Astro´s Playroom, easily their most played game on ps5

Re: Helldivers 2 Director Defends Elden Ring Difficulty: 'Always Cater to a Select Audience'

HeavymetalGordon

so far I finished Demon´s Souls remake, Bloodborne and Elden Ring (currently playing DLC), but gave up on Dark Souls 1 (played remastered version) because I simply was not motivated enough to be honest. Anyway plan to give DS3 a try some day, definitely don´t plan to play Sekiro - this would be very frustrating for me, I know myself

I play maybe 1 or most 2 souls games a year and change them with some easier games, story driven games where I can choose normal or even easy difficulty, but sometimes I´m just in the mood to try something more challenging and if I´m motivated enough then I happily embrace the challenge. I like FS souls games, they are really special in my opinion and hope Miyazaki will not change anything how FS make them

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2024 Announced

HeavymetalGordon

I changed the tier from Extra to Essential last month...not because Extra was bad or too expensive but simply because I mainly play games I buy. And I find Essential completely fine for me that from time to time I get something for free...this month is OK I believe, I´ll add all 3 to my library and definitely will give NHL and BL3 a try someday

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?

HeavymetalGordon

I'm not a FF fan and FF16 is my first game in series I wanted to play just because it's different. I tried FF7 remake demo and finished it but it's simply not for me. I finished 16 2-3 months ago and for me it's great game, good story and perfect soundtrack. I skipped most of side quests based on reviews and concentrated on main story and I enjoyed it. Eikon boss fights are real highlight of this game, but rpg elements are almost none or have minor impact on gameplay. I'm not sure if I ever come back to DLC's as they do not change how the base game ends and just don't feel motivated enough to play them. Anyway, if 17 would follow 16, I'd like to play it but would definitely improve on rpg elements

Re: Hidetaka Miyazaki 'Knows for a Fact' FromSoftware Devs Want a Bloodborne PC Port

HeavymetalGordon

once Demon´s Souls remake will be on PC, then we can start dreaming for any BB remaster/remake for PS5/6 and PC, but you never know with Sony...I´m shocked Sony still hasn´t released Demon´s Souls on PC, or managed to arrange 60fps patch for BB ps4pro/ps5.

The biggest surprise would be if Bluepoint is working on BB2...I know they should be working on new IP but still, that would blow my mind for sure

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 533

HeavymetalGordon

After some very busy weeks at work and tired at evenings to play any game, I'm finally getting back to gaming (slowly). Last days I played little of Elden Ring, but still not sure if I'll buy DLC day1 to be honest. I finally watched Last of Us season1 so I picked up remaster of part2 during Days of Play and will probably start that. On switch I picked up Ori 1st one during sale so I want to play that and hopefully finish SM Wonder too.

Of course, I'll be watching EURO! Hope to see lot of good matches. Have a nice weekend, everybody!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528

HeavymetalGordon

currently nothing in particular to be honest...waiting for Elden Ring DLC I guess. I´t s been really couple of very busy weeks at work and after that not in the mood for any gaming. If I find some time I continue with Super Mario Wonder on switch, but on ps5 not that much.

And during the weekends it´s just about the NHL and NBA play-offs and now also will be watching Ice Hockey Championships in Czech Rep. also interested in remaining Premier League rounds, looks like Man City will win the title but personally rooting to Arsenal or Liverpool but LIV is out of competition for first place if I´m not mistaken. However if Real Madrid will win the Champions League final then it will be easier for me to cope with the disapointment if City will win the PL

Anyway, enjoy nice weather and happy gaming!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 525

HeavymetalGordon

Should be rainy and cold weather where I live during whole weekend so looking forward to watching FA Cup semis, NHL play-offs in the TV, maybe some NBA too...

PS5 wise, I´m playing Unravel 2 with my older son, the younger one is all about Astro´s Playroom - hope there will be some sequel in the future.

Me personally working on some trophies in Elden Ring - I found out that I missed one legendary armament in Leyndel, Royal Capital so that trophy only possible on ng+ which I´m going to start anyway due to 2 other endings pending for the platinum. Plan is to get the plat till DLC arrives so let´s see.

Happy gaming and enjoy the weekend, everyone!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 524

HeavymetalGordon

Back to Elden Ring - trying to get the platinum trophy. My original playthrough took 174 hrs and collecting the missing items just showed me how many places still not discovered - simply amazing!

Apart from that I played Stellar Blade demo and will not buy the game just yet because I´m just not in the mood for this kind of game after finishing FF16. However demo was good and Eve is...ya´ll know

Also helping out my sons in Unravel 2 - picked it up for them but they are still young and not so patient and skillful

When I´m not on the TV, working on my playthrough in Super Mario Bros. Wonder on switch lite.

Happy gaming and enjoy the weekend!

Re: Video: Our Favourite PS5 Games of 2024 So Far

HeavymetalGordon

nothing special for me I would buy day1 so far...I was working on my backlog (DLC´s for RE4 and RE Village), FFXVI.

However I tried some demos and really think to buy Granblue Fantasy: Relink and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown this year. I tried also Stellar Blade demo this weekend and it was OK but as I just finished FFXVI few days back, really don´t plan to buy it any soon.

The main focus is Elden Ring DLC and potentially Silent Hill 2 remake if it´s really good (I have my doubts here). Plus, let´s see if there are any surprises out of rumoured PS showcase, new Astro game this year would be great

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?

HeavymetalGordon

Since I game on ps5, I only played Bloodborne on 30fps because there is no other choice. However I refuse to accept 30fps only on native ps5 games and will avoid such ps5 games. As my TV supports 120hz, I would appreciate if there are more games at least with 40fps mode like many Sony 1st party ones provide

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522

HeavymetalGordon

FFXVI (PS5)...boss fights are fantastic but little too long imo. I fought Bahamut for maybe 30min, hell yeah it was epic. I'm currently at 73% of main story progress so looking forward to how the story will continue;

This week I bought Switch Lite to relax with some Nintendo exclusives when I can't game on TV (unfortunately don't have good enough internet to go with portal). Started with Mario Bros. Wonder as main game and already tried several free demos.

Plus today watching big derby ManCity vs Arsenal - hope it will be great match.

Happy Easter, everyone!

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for April 2024 Announced

HeavymetalGordon

Nothing for me this time...my ps+ extra will end in 2 months and I'm sure I don't want to renew. Not because of bad library of games but because of lack of time as I spend most of time playing games I buy physical. I tried a lot of games of course but I don't remember when I finished something...for me extra simply not worth anymore, and tbh not even sure if I stay with essential either because I don't play online but if there will be good price I might change my mind

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Demo Drops This Week, Progress Carries to the Full Game

HeavymetalGordon

more demos please!

if there would have been no demo for FF16, I would not even bother thinking about buying this game. I did try Granblue Fantasy Relink recently and despite it´s completely out of my comfort zone, I really liked it and will probably buy later this year.

also feel that if there is a demo (for new IP at least), looks like developer/publisher really trusts in the product...good sign too for the gamers
