Battling through the latest season on the superb Diablo 4 on XBX - its amazing how much Blizzard has turned this game around. I'm literally counting down the minutes for the new Lord of Hatred expansion, the reviews have been glowing !
More Crimson Desert on Ps5 Pro, loving this most of the time yet sometimes I think its the most 5/10 game yet made, due to its quirks of gameplay.
Will play Marathon on all nighter on PS5 Pro - i very rarely buy extraction style, live service shooters but this game, well, its a fantastic example of a modern day FPS by the masters, Bungie. It's the freshest shooter in years. It's THAT good, cant recommend it highly enough to those that haven't played it.
I'll also finish the daft but enjoyable Battlefield Hardline campaign on XBX, before it sails off into the gaming sunset. I played it years ago on PS4 but mainly only multiplayer.
I bought Pragmata for PS5 pro too so thats Sunday sorted....with this, Saros and Lord Of Hatred out next week its a great time to be a gamer eh ?
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

More Crimson Desert on PS5 Pro - i still feel like ive hardly made a dent in the game yet, loving it despite it being a bit plodding and clunky in some aspects.
Trying to mop up some obscure Achievements in Forza Horizon 4 on XBX, my personal fave in the series and just downloaded Replaced on GamePass - hopefully it lives up to its reviews !

Back into Cyberpunk on PS5 Pro....only started it to see the difference the update makes - now its got me hook, line and sinker again! One of the finest games ever.....
Crimson Desert ...making intentionally slow progress and loving it, despite forgetting the controls constantly 😅....
Starcraft 2 (again ) on PC.....trying to go for the difficult hardcore and obscure Achievements.....

Re: One Player Just Unlocked PlayStation's Impossible Platinum Trophy

KingPev

@Globo. Yeah for some it IS an addiction for sure! Id never play a game just for Trophies, my niece does eg. The bread and the Mayo game. Baffles me.
I do enjoy playing for specific gameplay Trophies- I recently completed Outer Worlds 2 and Death Stranding and did make a point of going for some specific obscure Trophies and Achievements but didnt have the inclination for the Plat or full Gamer Score

Re: One Player Just Unlocked PlayStation's Impossible Platinum Trophy

@Balaam_ ...this is a genuine question out of curiosity, not a dig ....did you get into gaming purely due to collecting Trophies and Achievements ( if you do play on Xbox too ) and decided thats what gaming means to you and your preferred way to play or did you play back in the days of PS2 / Xbox OG ?
Do you play Nintendo games too or is it all about gaming for Trophies?
Just genuinely asking

More of the superb Crimson Desert on PS5 Pro....this is a game im literally getting lost and immersed in, challenging boss fights but I HATE the inventory system. The game deserves its success. .
I'll indulge in some more runs on Marathon now that im really getting into the games systems - the gunplay and PVP elements are fantastic, as you'd expect from Bungie.
FF9 on PS4 - In my mind the BEST FF ..I pray for a remake daily

Re: 'The Jumping, Movement, and Attacks Are Way More Responsive': Crimson Desert PS5 Patches Fix Crashes and Controls

KingPev

@Balaam_ .....so how WOULD you expect them to make improvements to the game ? Or provide potentially free content?
Modern gaming is so much better thanks to devs being able to patch their games. It happened to PC games for years in the days of PS1 and PS2. It ain't going away so why not embrace it ? ....or maybe stick to playing on a PS2 ? ....Ah, sorry you cant - no Trophies

So, bought the wife a new car, the deal being i get a PS5 Pro (yaaay) ..get it home, boot up Crimson Desert - for the Pro to immediately overheat and shut down ! 3 times ! Nnoooo......turns out plugging it into an extension lead isnt a great idea lol
..works fine now and only an hour into Crimson Desert and its fine so far, looks like the kind of game I can get lost in. The controls are weird but I actually don't mind that, I'm looking forward to playing a game that doesnt hold your hand and keeps telling you how to control your character all the time ! Though it does look garish in Quality mode 😬...
Will play this more when I finish a busy working couple of days.
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

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

KingPev

@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.
