Still at it with Crimson Desert! 65 hours in and I’m still in the first area and loving every minute!

Also bought Ground Zero to play on the side, which I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys old school horror games like the original Resident Evils

My co-op game at the moment is Ready or Not but we’re also going back to Abiotic Factor tonight for our Saturday night Multiplater game.

Some people need to lighten up. This looks like a lot of fun

The game wasn’t unfinished at launch. It was perfectly playable and I had very little bugs. What they are doing now is listening to the community and changing things around player feedback.

If they delayed the game it would have still released in a similar state to what was actually released at launch.

Listening to player feedback is what is making this game better and I’m all for it.

@dark_knightmare2 yeah, I consider improved ray tracing to be a graphical update and I don’t think it’s that noticeable

I gave it a go and while it’s a great looking game, if no one told me about the update I wouldn’t of had a clue it had updated graphics.

PlayStation 5] Applied Upgraded PSSR Native AA to Quality Mode on PlayStation 5 Pro

What does this mean exactly? That the game is still running at native 4k? Because I was hoping they’d lower the resolution and then upscale the quality mode with PSSR instead, just to keep the performance at a solid 30fps at all times.

Also it’s a tiny nitpick but it did annoy me how all of Kliffs friends immediately recognised him even with a full helm covering his face, so I’ll be nice to hide it!

I wish they would lower the pro quality mode resolution and then use PSSR instead of running at native 4k. The game looks so nice when it rains it’s a shame it ruins the performance

I wouldn’t mind if they were actually decent upgrades. I played the PS5 version of Darksiders 2 on my pro and still got framerate drops AND screen tearing.

Also when DSII was released on PS5 there was a sale on and I got both DS and DSII on PS4 for £6.99, which then allowed me to upgrade to the PS5 version for free. Meanwhile they were selling the native PS5 version on its own for £24.99. So keep an eye out for something like that when DS is out.

I have about 6 games on the go which is unusual for me!

I’m currently playing Crimson Desert which I’m loving so far. I’m breaking that up with a bit of Dead Space and Trail Out on the side.

I’m also playing Dragonkin: The Banished co-op with my brother and we also have group multiplayer sessions on Saturday night in which we are playing Abiotic Factor and Toxic Commando

I’ll throw in Overwatch 2 as well because I’ll most likely chuck that on for a bit too!

Just reading the comments here and it seems the vast majority of people who have played it are enjoying and praising the game. Funnily enough most of the negative comments about the state of the game and how disappointing it is are from the people who haven’t played it.

Im playing on quality mode on pro and aside from when it’s raining at night in town or I’m going through a river the frame rate has been pretty solid. It’s also a steady 30fps with no frame pacing issues.

Also for anyone wondering. if you press the left stick to group an item it puts every item that’s similar into a group in your inventory. It’s basically one slot that you can then click on and scroll up and down its content. It’s good for sorting out posters and books. Despite what the review said it makes the inventory much more manageable.

I’m loving the game so far.

I was really disappointed with Devil in me. The premise was good, but I thought the game lacked imagination and was quite dull. Hopefully this is better but I I’m not a fan of the space setting.

I played this game co-op with my brother just after the 2.0 release and the game ran so poorly online we kept having to put it on hold. I think it was something to do with the auto saving that was causing major pauses every few seconds. If that’s been fixed then I highly recommend it!

It did run perfectly in single player though.

I enjoyed the server slam and will definitely be getting it at some point. It’s just I have too many other games I want to play at the moment and I feel like this will veer me away from playing them

I’m really enjoying it. The controls aren’t even that bad once you get used to them. I’ve also seen people saying it looks bad, even on the pro and I have no idea what they are smoking. The game looks amazing to me and you just want to explore everywhere. The side quests at the beginning aren’t very exciting but that doesn’t bother me because if it means heading off to a new part of the map I haven’t been too yet then I’m happy!

@Balaam_ You’re a trophy hunter who cares so much about these none existent trophies and you will spend days and even weeks of your time earning them, but you draw the line at buying digital games because you don’t have something you can see and touch? 🤔

@dark_knightmare2 I dont know what sort of racing games you like but Trail Out looks like a great single player racing experience. I haven’t played it yet so I’m just going by the trailer, but it doesn’t even have online multiplayer.

@Yor-sama when has R3 ever been the go to jump button in games? You’re acting like that was the expected choice.

I dunno what they can do to improve them really. Theres so many things to do and only so many buttons on a controller. People will still moan about them.

Single player: Crimson Desert
Saturday night group multiplayer: Toxic Commando
Co-op: Dragonkin: The Banished

It’s been an expensive month 😂
but all these game should last me a few weeks!

Played it for about 3 hours and really enjoying it so far. The controls may appear complicated at first but I’m slowly remembering what does what and seeing as I plan to see most of what this game has to offer it’ll all become second nature by the end.

I loved Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Dragons Dogma 2 and so far it feels more like those games then Witcher 3 or Skyrim.

Anyways, no real complaints so far except one bug where I threw a bounty target I was carrying and I couldn’t pick him up again. Had to reload my save but luckily it auto saved a few minutes before.

Overall though this game just keeps impressing me with the sheer amount of things you can do and also just how nice it looks. I don’t really get the hate to be honest.

Lastly, as for the disjointed quests. Story wise, Kliff just so happens to be walking by these people who need help. The quest markers are there solely for players so they are not walking around aimlessly. Kliff doesn't know he’s off to rescue a cat.

@REALAIS read their name out loud…

@Leonardo_Turtles what is wrong with you? If that’s too late for you, you could always just wait until the next morning to play the game like any normal person.

Tonight we’re putting Abiotic Factor on hold to play some Toxic Commando multiplayer, which looks like it’ll be a fun time. I usually also have a single player and co-op game on the go but I’m holding out until the 19th to play Crimson Desert and Dragonkin: The Banished so don’t want to start anything too big.

Im definitely gonna give quality mode a try on the PRO. As long as there isn’t any frame pacing issues I can happily play a game at 30fps. I find it to be a better experience than a game that targets 60fps but drops into the 40’s.

I decided to buy The Knightling because it was half price and jump in blind. Glad I did because it’s a bright, vibrant old school adventure game with a big open world to explore with side missions, puzzles, dungeons and collectibles. Only negative so far is the lack of a lock on during combat, and a very slow block that makes parrying quite difficult. But I still highly recommend it, so far it’s been a pleasant surprise.

As long as it isnt mostly Monster Hunter, I’m interested!

@ErrantRob I absolutely loved Cistol. So much so I’ve beaten it twice just to get all the collectibles. My only issue with the game was the uneven performance (playing on pro) which I swear got worse the more you played. Other then that I recommend it to everyone!

My single player game is Resident Evil Requiem obviously! It’s not bad so far, although I’m actually finding the Grace sections rather frustrating with a lot of trial and error when it comes to the enemy’s. I’ve died a lot lol

Then it’s some Abiotic Factor later tonight as my group multiplayer game.

Also be playing Towerborne co-op which despite its simple graphics is probably one of the nicest looking games I’ve seen in a while. I just like how colourful and clear it all looks

@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.
