Demons Souls on PS5 which im completely addicted to, im gonna run through this game with every class eventually. Top 5 of all time.
The Outer Worlds 2 on XBX which is growing on me slightly, but one ill never play again.
Currently downloading Marathon which ill play all day tmrw, purely on a recommendation from @northern_munkey 😅 looking forward to.it, love Bungies shooters.
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Carrying on with Demons Souls remake - cant believe i left it this long ! ( though I did complete the original MANY times ) and its as superlative as ever. Love playing as a Royal, makes things that little bit easier, though ive died around 100 times 😅. This game will forever be on my hard drive.
Also playing The Outer Worlds 2 on GamePass and to be fair im finding it a bit of a tedious slog - its literally Avowed in a sci fi skin ( Avowed is better ) which was a fantasy skin of the original Outer Worlds. But my OCD will make me complete it.
Late night gaming sessions will be FF9 on PS Portal ( if I can stop the terrible lag )
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Re: Resident Evil Requiem (PS5) - Two-in-One Horror Not Quite an All-Timer

@OrbiterNightfall ....but you cant really compare the two games, based on review scores. They are literally different kinds of games, different genres.
It's like saying "so you think Gran Turismo 7 is as good as Horizon Zero Dawn then ? Because they both got 9/10??".....
( thats purely an example btw, don't quote me )
Comparing MGS Survive with Armored Core 6 off a review score is bizarre. Comparing it with Requiem, stranger still.

@themightyant ...i have a real love / hate relationship with the Yakuza games, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Combat is a repetitive slog yet you feel compelled to carry on. I had the same feelings to Judgement, and i couldnt finish it. And ZERO is one of the better games, I think. But youre right, Kiwami 1 & 2 are a vast improvement ....enjoy !

In honour of Bluepoint Games, ive finally started Demons Souls and its as brilliant as ever. Been in my backlog for years but I played the PS3 version around 5 times back in 2010 on release. It will forever be in my top 10 of all time. The PS5 version is just as brilliant and stunning to look at. Playing as a Royal and making surprisingly good progress and making light work of the bosses so far. That muscle memory kicking in.

Got a bit of a free weekend so planning some relaxing gaming after a busy week, so will finish my 2nd run on Hard mode on Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. Like this game a lot, despite its MANY flaws, and I mean many. But the bosses are fantastic though.
Will carry on with Final Fantasy 9 PS4, my favourite FF, with the best characters - roll on that remake ! 😉
Me and my daughter will play the lovely Sonic Racing Crossworlds a gem of a karting game, better than Mario Kart World - there, ive said it.
I'll also look at Blazbue Entropy Effect on GamePass !
As its Valentine Day, there'll be a meal for two later - ill be stuffed after that ! 😉
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

After 2 weeks on a cruise then the whole family being ill, it's nice to get back into some gaming again.
Just finished Tomb Raider Legend PS5 version. I've never played this before on PS2 but it's aged very well. Definitely a game of its time but still some classic old school Croft shenanigans- some puzzles really stumped my old brain ha ha.
Gonna restart and replay Metroid Prime 4 Beyond and attempt a speed run. I really like this game. Yes it's outdated in it's design, it's a game from the 00s and I understand the criticism but im just a sucker for Metroid games. Some fantastic boss fights too and the ice level is superb.
Will also get in some online bouts of the brilliant new brawler 2XKO...will no doubt get my ass kicked !

Playing the wonderful Lumines Arise addictive like crack and the best PS5 exclusive of last year. Ghost Of Yotei ZZZZ can do one !
Despite the criticism, which I agree with, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond which im enjoying immensely. Its a game from 2007 but I just love the sense of isolation and atmosphere on this. Yes it's linear but I think thats one of its strengths.
Also recently restarted Final Fantasy 9 PS4 version, the best in the series ! Looking nice with its hi res makeover too !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Just got the plat for Bioshock 2 Remastered - the best game in the series ! Now for the amazing Minervas Den, one of the best slices of DLC ever .
Doing a rerun of Metroid Dread which is as tough as old boots ! But brilliant.
Will also carry on with Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition a fantastic JRPG
Have a great gaming Christmas guys and gals 🎅🤶🍾🍸🥂🎄

Had to give up on The Endless Tower in Clair Obscur much to my shame. Way beyond my capabilities and patience. Bloody tough bosses....still GOTY though.
Starting to clear my huge backlog with Bioshock 2 Remastered - love this game, it's by far the best in the series.
More strategy shenanigans in Starcraft 2 on PC and the new Guild Wars Reforged on Steam Deck
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Re: Sony Hypes Halo PS5 in Its Hot Games of 2026 Trailer

@Dan12836666 ....well said. Finally someone with a common sense, decent perspective. Its not about the consoles or the the publishers, it's about the games, of which there are superb examples on EVERY format.
Anybody who slates Halo games as rubbish clearly haven't played them. The Infinite multiplayer modes are fantastic by the way.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610

Finished the story of Clair Obscur ...now onto the end game bosses and The Endless Tower on the way to lvl 99 ( way off !) Without doubt GOTY 2025. Genius.
More Battlefield 6 which i think im genuinely clinically addicted to ! So many fantastic modes in multiplayer.
Having to wait to play Metroid Prime 4 Beyond until Christmas now as the wife stopped me buying it - hint taken lol. Divorce proceedings now underway 😅
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Bought myself a PS Portal which is great now that I've sorted some connection issues out and im playing the brilliant Judgement and Crysis 3 Remastered - never thought id see the day that that game runs brilliantly on a handheld PS !
More Battlefield 6 on XBX in Redsec mode, which is fantastic !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Re: A Technical Mess without It, STALKER 2's Day 1 PS5 Patch Is Critical

KingPev

Don't let these bugs put you off. I've played STALKER 2 3 times on XBX, currentlyon my 4th...its a fantastic game. Its bloody hard on normal mode, God only knows how hard Master mode will be. Its an old school hardcore PC survival shooter that is utterly compelling if you buy into Its systems. Play it like a Stalker - scavenging for resources, food, ammo and fighting for survival. Its not an RPG but play it like one, you'll have a blast- if you "get it".
