@Ilyn yeah I'm trying to resist the lure of Classic WoW but I know I'll cave at some point.
But the general consensus is is the TWW expansion is more solo friendly with bots for groups, solo delves etc, but I'm not that far in as yet. I played for 10 yrs from launch day back in '04, believe me that was much more hardcore. Nowadays I think it's as life sapping and hardcore as you want it to be
Enjoy !
Got back from travelling in Europe just last weekend so itching to get back into gaming !
Finished Ratchet and Clank PS4 fun but forgettable and dropped Immortals Of Aveum after 7 hrs. The epitomy of meh.
Started Black Ops 6 on GP last night, superb so far. Great campaign and the usual peerless multilayer. Enjoying Star Wars Outlaws too, about 9 hrs in so far, though it has many flaws. Also been playing the fantastic Space Marine 2 ...multiplayer and only 2 levels of the campaign
But I stupidly bought World of Warcraft The War Within expansion and I can see it taking over my life ! Nnoooo I thought I was out ....
Also added Silent Hill 2, Dead Rising Remaster, Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion to the backlog !
What a great time to be a gamer eh ?
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@AfroMario they'll hardly go broke lol. This will more than likely be the best selling game this year, like every year and earn them hundreds of millions in MTX's
Take a leaf out of your sister site Pure Xbox, Push Square and report the facts in a proper way, rather than trying to incite outraged gamers and gain clicks.
This is in no way as bad as it seems if you give the whole story and print the full article
One of the best games in the last 10 yrs ! Just brilliant. Looking forward to these DLCs...forgot I bought the premium edition, didn't even realise I could play these lol. Weekend sorted
@naruball yeah I get that. But my opinion comes from me playing the game and those opinions forming as im playing it. It was ok, fun in parts but like in my original comment it was a crushing disappointment for me purely because of the writing and game design. But I totally get why others like it
@Amnesiac ....baffling. So if it was 10 hrs of Spidey just swinging and traversing around, that would've made a phenomenal game ?
And "could have" not "could of"
@RBMango totally agree. That was my original point. Why was everybody so nice all the time ? Always saying the perfect thing. No edginess or dark vibes to it at all
@naruball it was super polished, great graphics and the traversal was fantastic. I have no issues with MM at all, I read the comics when he was first introduced and the Spider Verse movies are stunning. But SM2 the game was so bland and dull with lame characters due to the writing. I wanted it to be so much more
@LavenderShroud ...but his symbiote voice sounded like my little nephew trying to be angry 🤣 it did have some fun elements but overall I was so disappointed
I thought it was a HHUUGGE disappointment. Terrible writing and characters - why is everybody so nice all the time ? The dialogue is pure pre teen cringe. Peters voice when he wears the dark suit is beyond cringe. Peters Parker is such a limp, wet lettuce of a character, not to mention the even more cringey "Danicasts".
The side quests are ridiculous- no I don't want to walk 5 miles following your grandads inhaler scent, thank you. The quest that has you playing the deaf girl tagging graffiti is ridiculous- just let us be Spiderman !! And I don't want to solve a random crime 2 minutes after doing the last one.
And since when was playing a Spidey character akin to almost being an ultra powerful Jedi Knight ?
Players hated the Mary Jane stealth sections in the first game so instead of taking that feedback on board they introduce more .."but hey, this time let's give her a weapon ! Awesome! "
So yeah I didn't like it much ...5/10
A weekend of RPG greatness for me with the life sapping Diablo 4 my GOTY so far in Dragons Dogma 2 and I'm about 6 hrs in on the stunning Granblu Fantasy Relink which has blown me away with its gameplay and stunning art style. Get all over this if you haven't played it guys !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@rusty82 ...Yeah loved the first one too. The 2nd is so cinematic and immersive and the combat is really hefty and visceral. Here's hoping it comes to PS5
Just finished Steel Rising...an enjoyable souls like but way too easy and lightweight with a good story
Gonna do another run through of Hellblade 2 which is fantastic though I fully understand it's criticisms but overall it's a stunner but not quite as good as the first game.
More GT7 which just gets better and better
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Malaise fantastic ! ...at the end of August me and 2 friends are driving from the east coast of England to Prague, Vienna then Budapest and back home. Eekk
Started, and I'm gonna stick with Steel Rising on PS5. Very ho hum at the mo, but a more accessible Souls like. The main issue is fighting the same enemies all the time More Diablo 4 my main drug of choice (well the only one 🤣) think I'll be playing this for years to come ! More Forza Motorsport on XBX .... Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Started Stranger of Paradise FF Origin but I've dropped it like a hot plate. Utterly awful, not for me So I'm gonna replay the amazing Stellar Blade to compensate with more of my GOTY so far Dragons Dogma 2 and Forza on XBX Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
More of the amazing Stellar Blade ...near to the end now I think so looking forward to NG+ Destiny 2 The Final Shape ..wow. Huge improvement on Lightfall, love the new Transcendance feature.

Re: Sony's Guerrilla Sounds Completely Done with the Killzone Series
Loved KZ 2 & 3, the class based multiplayer was fantastic!
But the Shadowfall campaign was mediocre at best, had no chance against the likes of CoD
Re: Black Ops 6 Another Call of Duty with No PS5 Platinum Trophy
@OldGamer999 oh ok I see. I do love CoD miltiplayer, I must say
Re: Black Ops 6 Another Call of Duty with No PS5 Platinum Trophy

Re: More Tales Announcements Incoming for Series' 30th Anniversary
Tales of Berseria is my personal fave, though Vesperia and the first Xillia are great too. And Arise and it's expansion are superb
Re: Square Enix Has Got Fans Talking About a Final Fantasy 13 Remake, Not a Remaster

@ApostateMage it gets a lot of flak but the writing in that game is superb. Some of the best in any video game
Re: Talking Point: What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2024 So Far?
@Kraven totally agree. Nothing comes remotely close
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 534
@naruball ...I've recently started it, got 5 chapters in, dropped it. Awful
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 534
Started Stranger of Paradise FF Origin but I've dropped it like a hot plate. Utterly awful, not for me
So I'm gonna replay the amazing Stellar Blade to compensate with more of my GOTY so far Dragons Dogma 2 and Forza on XBX
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest and Its Surrounding Shows as a Whole?
A very poor showing from Sony, paled in comparison to the Xbox showcase
Re: Free Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Update Adding Eight Supercharged Suits to the PS5 Game
