Re: Poll: How Far Into Elden Ring Are You?

Hurblyburbly

Played for 25 hours. I’m pretty addicted at this time but there’s lots I’m still trying to get to grips with as I just don’t get it.
Like Ashes of War. It gives you a special to use but at the cost of damage? I don’t get it.
I’ve beaten maybe 5-8 cave bosses and 1 storyline boss which is the one at the gate of Storm (whatever it is) castle.
I’m level 32 playing Astrologer.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5?

Hurblyburbly

Bought it on PS5 due to it only being £20 and seemingly in a very playable state now.
I’ve played for around 8 hours and it’s fun
I particularly love the implementation of the hepatic feedback in gunfights. That’s an absolute winner for me and really seems to bring the fight aiive.
Glad I chose to purchase it on PS5 rather than series x just for that factor alone.

Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Returnal

@PenguinL
I’d never played a souls game either of any sort.
I took a chance on born Returnal and Demon Souls as thought they just looked too good to miss.
I eventually completed them both.
Did I do this as quickly as others people. No where near. I really got my moneys worth and I loved every minute.
If I we’re you if you’ve any interest wait until the next sale and take a chance.
Both games are fantastic and I’m a 45 year old bang average gamer who recommends these to you.

Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2021?

Returnal for me takes the top spot. Hands down.
Utterly brilliant game which I just could not stop playing.
So hoping for DLC with that teaser last week.
Resident evil village is also a cracking game. I’ve only just licked it up for an utter bargain price £23 in the end of year PS5 sale.
I’m on my second play through now. It’s fantastic.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 404

@Gloamin
It seems really cool so far. Made it into the castle and being chased around in the basement by the daughters.
I’m not a huge Resi fan but absolutely loved 4 when it came out all those years ago on the GameCube and when I read (on a couple of sites) that Village is a natural successor to 4 coupled with the absolute bargain price of (£23) I had to buy it.
I’ve not watched any spoilers at all deliberately since it was released so I’m excited for the battles and the monsters ahead!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Thankful for in Gaming?

I’m an older gamer now (I’m 47) but I’ll never give up my favourite hobby.
It provides me with such a great way to escape a very difficult few years as I’ve suffered from PTSD and depression from the things I’ve witnessed in my job.
For those hours I spend gaming it’s such great escapism and having gamed since 1992 when I bought the Super Nintendo I’m excited to own both next generation consoles as the worlds created blow me away at times and it’s just so much fun.
Here’s to many more years of great gaming experiences for us all.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Battlefield 2042?

Played the 10 hour trial. There’s so much missing I’m just not going to spend money until they fix it.
I know this is ridiculous but the lack of scoreboard had really ticked me off.
I want to see how I’ve done compared to everyone else. It’s a staple of online shooters and they absolutely will not get my money unless they put it back.
Fortunately I have the Series X too and Halo Infinite multiplayer is fantastic and will keep me going.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Call of Duty: Vanguard?

Hurblyburbly

Haven’t bought a COD since MW (2019) and will wait until the next MW comes out next year (I think it is).
I’d used to love COD back in the MW and MW2 days but just refuse to buy trashy money grabbing efforts year on year.

Re: Talking Point: Why Aren't You Playing Knockout City with PS Plus?

Hurblyburbly

Having never owned a PlayStation until I got my PS5 I’ve just started playing Bloodborne and I’m hooked. It’s between that and NG+ on the amazing Demon’s Souls and once Halo Infinite is here that’ll be me….the multiplayer was outstanding and I can’t wait.
So although I own Knockout City on my Series X I just don’t have time tbh. It was fun and I must dip back in but it’s way down the list.
Now……back to Bloodborne!
