@JDINCINERATOR This was the case with Dragons Dogma 2. Everyone kept saying how poor it ran but I played and finished it around launch and found the game to be really enjoyable. Not once did the frame rate (that wasn’t even as bad as people were making out) ruin my experience with the game.

Currently playing Towers of Aghasba which I took a gamble on when it was on sale. Hasn’t been a bad game actually. It definitely has some Jank to it, but it looks nice!

I’ll Hopefully be done with that tomorrow and will be moving on to Crisol: Theatre of Idols which from what I played so far will be a really good game.

Big fan. Love battlefield 6! But they need to stop with these misleading trailers. Not once has any of my matches been as action packed or exciting as they have shown here!

All I can say is bring it on!

@GirlVersusGame We’ve played Abiotic Factor for about 3/4 hours and I’ve loved it straight from the start. So hearing it gets better as it goes makes me more excited to play it. I love everything about it so far! I’m really digging the Half-Life vibes too

I like to have one single player game, one Saturday night group multiplayer game and a co-op game on the go at a time so I’m playing

Killer Frequency
Abiotic Factor
Reanimal

My single player game at the moment is Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. I’m enjoying it but I find some things really annoying. Poor hit detection, the jump button sometimes stops working and a couple times I’ve been hit by something and flat out died even though I have gems.

If I finish that I’m gonna move onto Killer Frequency which I’ve been wanting to play for a while and for £3.99 you can’t go wrong!

I’ll also be playing Wayfinder co-op with my brother. I went into this blind and I’m rather enjoying it. It looks really good and the combat is satisfying. Only negative so far is the performance isn’t amazing in the bigger areas with frequent stutters.

Then later tonight I’m gonna be starting Abiotic Factor which I’m excited for.

@Totheteeth Open queue quick play is now 6 vs 6 if you don’t want to play competitively

I didn’t mind what I played but I agree 3 vs 3 was just too little for the map size. Might have to give this a try again

I’m going to be playing Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders. Seems like an interesting concept to me and the half an hour I played was pretty decent. Definitely not a AAA game but I think I’ll have fun with it.

I played the tutorial and one match and it isn’t too bad. The objective is different to anything I’ve personally played and the shooting is pretty decent. It looks blurry on the PS5 Pro though and I think the idea would work better with more players and not just 3 vs 3

Just started Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition last night which I will be continuing. Played it before on the GameCube but I remember nothing about it except that I enjoyed it!

Probably my most anticipated game this year! Assuming it doesn’t get delayed

Im looking forward to it. Say what you like about bungie but they’ve always delivered good gunplay. Playing Arc Raiders made me more interested in Marathon and just like Arc Raiders it’s a decent price too.

Just got the platinum on Pathologic 3 which while a little daunting at first turned out to be really good! will be moving on to No More Heroes 3 this weekend which I look forward to. Be nice to play something a little more upbeat!

Going to continue and hopefully finish Forever Skies. Really good game that would have been much better if I played it co-op. Still recommend it though!

I gave Core Keeper a try in co-op and got so addicted. Definitely going to be a game I put a lot of hours in to. So yeah, I’m happy. The other games are just a bonus!

Currently playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown as my single player game. Enjoying it so far so I’ll be cracking on with that over the next 2 days.

@Bez87 you’re right. There’s absolutely no reviews for Core Keeper online and I’ve looked everywhere!

Felt like something more old school so I’m currently playing I have no mouth, and I must Scream. Definitely worth the £5 I paid for it.

It’s not like they would have hired an extra person to create whatever A.I assets were used instead. It would have most likely been down to one of the artists/developers already on the team who for all we know already had a massive work load. People are so quick to judge as soon as A.I is mentioned.

Continuing with STALKER 2 and I may even play Borderlands 4, Arc Raiders, or Void Crew later.

Also gave Weeb Store Simulator a try and for under £8 it isn’t bad at all if you can ignore the name. As far as I can tell it’s the first multiplayer shop simulator on PS5. It’s no different to all the other ones released but the co-op really elevates it.

This looks really fun. I enjoyed back 4 blood and this looks like that on steroids.

@DennisReynolds I’m pretty sure he’s confusing the trilogy remasters with a remake

Single player wise I’m continuing with S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 which after about 26 hours of play I can tell it’s gonna be a long game!

Multiplayer wise I’ll be playing Labyrinthine and Coral Island tonight and Void Crew and maybe Borderlands 4 tomorrow.

It started off looking pretty genuine but the more the trailer went on the more A.I it looked.

Are these the guys who also made Son and Bone? Because the dino animations in that weren’t great. I mean the game as a whole was one repetitive slog so I have no hope for this!

@StitchJones You do realise he is talking about those bug fix patches. For the last decade or so it has been said to wait a while before purchasing a new game until it has been patched. So yes, you should be used to waiting by now if you want the best version. Only difference here is the update will cater to a small majority and the game was bug free and perfectly optimised at launch. So you shouldn’t really complain because this is the best kind of patch in the grand scheme of things imo.

They did what the Pro promised at launch. ‘Quality mode’ graphics (or better in this case) and a smooth ‘performance mode’ 60fps. The fact they decided to go beyond that after the game was released doesn’t mean it was released unfinished, that’s ridiculous.

Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 at the moment and it’s such a great game! Nicely challenging too and it looks graphically impressive!

I do plan to play this one day. if it’s on sale I’ll pick it up.

I’ve been really happy so far. I’ve enjoyed most of Sony’s exclusives but it would be stupid to rate this generation solely on the lack of them because there have been some amazing third party AAA and indie games imo.

I shall be continuing Fallout 4 which I’m loving. Especially exploring the world and doing all the side quests. Hopefully finish it as well.

Problem is I went spending crazy (Stupid sale) and bought a load of games

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Croc: Legend of the gobbos
Total Chaos
Forever Skies
Dollmare
Cubic Odyssey
Fast & Furious Arcade

So I have a nice selection of games to play next! The question is, which one!

I really enjoyed the demo and will probably pick it up at some point

Looking forward to playing it when I get home from work!

I will be continuing with Fallout 4 and also playing Coral Island and Borderlands 4 Co-op. No doubt be playing more Arc Raiders as well!

@1970sGamer From what I’ve heard, the AI voices are for the ping system, which makes sense to me seeing as they can continuously add new areas, items and enemies without getting the voice actors back every time. I think the review blows it somewhat out of proportion though because paid actors were hired for the AI to learn from and they knew what they were signing up for.

I also think that if they didn’t use AI they would have used generic lines like "Over there” and “I found this”, which would still result in a single recording session for the voice actors anyways, so it’s not like anyone is losing out.

I’ve been proper addicted to this game that it’s stopped me playing much single player. A quick game can easily lead to 2 hours. If you want a chilled back experience then solos is where it’s at as 99% of players are friendly. Play in a squad of three though and it’s pretty much gloves off. Spent all last night being shot at by most players.

Im currently playing through it for the first time and loving it. The combat is satisfying, the world is great to explore and so far I’ve been enjoying all the quests whether they are from the main story or just off some random person I happened to walk by. There’s not a lot of games out there that are this immersive. You can turn off the lights, crank the volume up on your headset and get sucked into the world. That is how story driven games should be and in my opinion, Bethesda do it very well.

@GirlVersusGame I’m really interested in this game. How is the performance so far on PS5?

I’ve decided to finally play Fallout 4 so that’s my single player game sorted for the next month. Problem is I’ve been addicted to ARC Raiders which is taking up most of my time at the moment. It’s even stopped me playing Battlefield 6, which was supposed to be my long term multiplayer game!

I’ll have to give this a try. Didn’t realise the Queen was guarding decent loot. I played last night and it’s definitely the most aggressive players have been. Everyone was shooting us on sight. I just can’t bring myself to shoot first!

@StitchJones I don’t get this complaint. The whole point of the game is risk verses reward. You risked staying out for 30minutes and got killed. It’s gonna happen. Maybe stick to shorter runs until you get better gear.

Tried it last night and enjoyed what I played. I’m not used to Battle Royales though so the time it takes to down a player was a little surprising. The map seems pretty decent though except for a few houses where I kept on falling through the floor. Disappointed you can’t go in solo either.

@Balaam_ If anything a trophy list is supposed to add challenges and extra incentives for people who enjoy a game. For the players who want to spend their time playing it. That’s the whole point of them. Not some easy checklist you can bang out in a night.

@WobberleyBob I’ve always found COD to be a great bite size multiplayer experience. Something to play when you have an hour to kill. Just hop into TDM and you can get a fair few rounds in. Battlefield is more of an evening multiplayer experience. Games take much longer and you actually have to put more thought into how you play and can get more immersed. So there’s definitely room to enjoy both in my opinion.

I’ll be finishing up my play through of Deathloop which is a really good game. I went into it not knowing if I’d actually enjoy it but it turns out I do!

@tameshiyaku I don’t know how they’re gonna do it tbh. Because they’ve got flying and underwater exploration to think about.

It frustrates the hell out of me, but I also really enjoy it. I think it’s gonna make most MP games feel pretty dull now due to how hectic it is. 8/10 for me, but I hope they add some more larger maps.

I finished Bye Sweet Carole last night so I’ll be playing through Finding Paradise next as I didn’t get a chance to start it last week.

I’ll probably beat that in one sitting so I plan to move on to a game from my backlog after. At the moment I’m thinking about Deathloop, which I got for £7.99 in one of the sales.

Also Coral Island co-op later tonight and hopefully some Borderlands 4 co-op tomorrow night.

I might also do some side stuff in Expedition 33 as well if I can find the time and also jump into a couple games on the Arc Raiders server slam.

Lastly, I’ll probably chuck on some Overwatch 2 later tonight after some drinks.
