Gameplay & overall enjoyability is superior in Yotei but jin is (for me) a more relatable character and Tsushima story is much better. Overall tho Yotei is the better game for me!
Ghost of Yotei was so much fun, couldn't put it down! Great story, great combat, diverse side quests! I don't see how anyone couldn't enjoy it! I'm getting into Arc raiders now and as someone who generally avoids multiplayer PvPs I'm having fun with it but wish it had stayed the PvE that the devs started it out as... Outer Worlds 2 I really wish I hadn't bought it, don't rate it at all and playing it just to get my moneys worth feels like a chore that I do in 30 to 45 minute chunks bleeaaargh!!
Definitely a good idea!! Atm I have 2 dualsense controllers that won't take a charge because the batteries are dead. Have ordered replacement batteries after watching YouTube vids on replacing them. It's a lil bit of an effort but doable, PlayStation could design to make it a lot easier without a doubt!
There's so many good games out or soon coming out BL4 really isn't high on my want list. I found BL3 disappointing too, I can't even remember if I finished it. The reviews of BL4 haven't really changed my mind on it either so I will probably get it when it's at a much cheaper sale price in the future & I have nowt better to play. On the positive side of games tho, I've just finished Hell Is Us, now that was a great game that I'd recommend to everyone! π
I own Indiana Jones and Claire Obscure. Loved The Great Circle but I'm only about 3 hours into Expedition 33 so not totally clicked with the turn based combat(usually I'm not a fan of turn-based, this system is growing on me tho...)yet but getting there and the story and characters are excellent, I've been transported into this vivid and exciting land!! Such a hard choice this month and I haven't even bought Oblivion Remastered yet!
Dragon's Dogma 2, so much fun! 85 hours in and I'm putting off the point of no return 'A New Godsway' mission in order to explore and max out as many vocations as I can! It is hard to leave the Mystic Spearhand voc tho... So much fun!!!
Still enjoying Dragon's Dogma 2 atm and got a backlog of other games to play too. I played the demo and it didn't really do much for me but I'll probably give the full game a go down the line when I can pick it up cheap 2nd hand or in a Sale.
Definitely treating myself to Alan Wake 2, finally got round to playing through Control recently and that has got me so hyped for AW2!π Would've preferred a physical copy but sadly there was no AW2 physical version release!! BOOO...Sucks!!!πππ£
Busy with Rise of the Ronin atm, which I'm quite enjoying! I will get round to DD2 tho.. Wasn't that impressed with the 1st DD, played about 7 hours then couldn't be bothered to go back to it if I'm honest, so I hope it's more engaging than that! lol
Not a fan of online co-op shooters ordinarily but the tongue in cheek trailer and early gameplay clips looked so good I bought it after reading some positive day one reviews. I haven't been disappointed by it either, nicely priced and it's just buckets of fun, not microtransaction hell & very Starship Troopers influenced(which is definitely a good thing!). Loads better than Suicide Squad KTJL for sure, which was a huge crippling disappointment that I traded in after playing through the story once.
Not really sure how I managed to totally miss trying the first top down game but Helldivers 2 rocks!!
Dead or alive that game is coming with me! Looks excellent, good preview reviews, loved the 1st 2 films and enjoyed Terminator Resistance from the same devs, so got it preβordered.
Great team at Insomniac, Sony are lucky to have them. Whatever this AAA is I have high hopes for it! Insomniac games always keep me playing till the early hours & missing out on sleep but it's usually well worth it!!
Been interested in this for a while since the first reveal trailer, may even pre-order. Heard good things on YouTube from people who got 5 hours of early access gameplay... Then again might just wait for proper reviews... Does look fun tho!!
Meh... A lot of hype for a probably disappointing showcase as usual... I really do hope I'm proved wrong tho! Spiderman 2 is at least definitely coming in the next few months, so at least there's that!
Soz unlike a lot of people I do not have unlimited cash & am not gonna buy a Switch for just one game. I live in the UK, we are all skint thanx to brexit & and the incompetent government we've had for the last 13 years so obvs not got cash to spare! Fking jealous tho cos it sounds good! π
I'll be switching between mopping up the last few items & upgrades on Jedi Survivor before I start a New Journey+ and really enjoying Death Stranding which I put off playing after hearing that it gets boring & tedious with long empty periods of gameplay, which at about 15 hours in I haven't found that to be true yet, time will tell I suppose but I gotta say that I have been happily surprised by this (called epic by many) game so far! Can't believe I left it so long to try out!! π
I like.... Lots! Comics came first & eventually gaming caught up! Been reading Spiderman since the 70s cos I'm old! Avoiding all the so called "leak" pieces & vids, just in case they're right but I will get this.. A pre-story is good, spoilers are not! Keep webslinging! Nuff Said!
Sounds great to me, tho I initially thought it was part of Cals force powers when I saw him slow down blaster fire in the trailer. But an accessibility option in the settings menu isn't something you have to use if you don't need it & if it helps People who ordinarily wouldn't be able to enjoy the whole game be able to do that, then I really don't see the harm. I don't really care about trophies personally, but I can see why some competitive thinking gamers might object. Ultimately tho we really don't know how much easier it will make things overall until we play the game so I'll reserve judgement till then.
Roll on Friday, I am so hyped for this game!! π
Just switched on the ps5 and it started downloading... Sweet!! Roll on Wednesday & I hope Burning shores keeps me going till the 28th when Jedi Survivor lands!! This 2nd half of April sure is looking good!!π
Hate all this buyout *****!! Devs should stay independent, stay doing cross platform games! Can't be that difficult it's what most of the industry has been doing for years.. Love my PS5 but the way tings are going in these buyout wars, i might have to get an Xbox(for the 1st time) too, it's that or miss out on more good games! Never been a FF fan but looking fwd to this now they're leaving turn based GP behind..
I've just turned 55, not dead yet & enjoying my PS5, glad it's not a ps3 and incredibly grateful it's not a ps1 or Nintendo or even as when I was a kid an Atari, don't see the appeal of retro games(but each to their own) & love not having to stare at space invader style pixels anymore!
Really looking fwd to this!! After reading the reviews and people's disgust with it's state on release I gave it a pass.. Relented and bought it cheap & 2nd hand late last year for my PS5, was pleasantly surprised by its story and depth and so glad I got it!! 2 full playthroughs now & I LOVE THIS GAME!! bring on Phantom Liberty, you got there in the end CDPR. π
41 hours in & I really do love this game so much, never dull, just when I think I might be getting ever so slightly bored it pulls summat outta the hat that totally wows me all over again!! My only bugbear is the dialogue, it's so namby pamby & polite, I'm British born & bred but the public schoolboy(that's what posh private school students are called here in the UK) overtures annoy me. But that's one of the things that the Potter films are known for(& bugged me about em) and tbh I knew what I was signing up for!!π’π€£
Still a really wonderful game in spite of it!!
9.3 outta 10 so far from me!π
I will hopefully be deep in Hogwarts when this releases if the reviews match up to the hype it'll be my next buy on release week... Gotta say that the Bioshock vibe on the trailer makes it look pretty sick tho... Time will tell!! β
Demo didn't do it for me... Might give the full game a go down the road a ways when it's cheaper! There's a lotta other games that look a lot better coming over the horizon soon tho to spend my moneys on!!
