I've got a week off work now but if I spend this weekend gaming my Mrs. will kill me ! So gotta help with shopping, cooking, dad duties etc ...😭 but i will try and find time to relax just playing Starfield and Mortal Kombat on XBX, both slightly disappointing games yet I can't stop playing them. Have a great weekend all and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you all and your families Take care ❤️❤️❤️
Spiderman 2 which I must say is a big disappointment so far. Admittedly im only about 6 hours in but this game wants you to be everything BUT Spiderman ! Want to do mind numbing seed puzzles and grow rooftop gardens ? Want to do boring 'light mirror' puzzles ? Well here ya go ....and no I don't want to attend more crimes in progress 5 seconds after the last one. Hoping it improves
Also playing The Crew Motorfest which is great fun
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Zuljaras The 3DS version of Ocarina is the best version and it's a brilliant game still but not a very welcoming one ! Difficult to get into for sure. Stick with it ....but it's certainly aged like a bad curry
Trying to finish a 2nd in depth run of Baldurs Gate 3...this honestly deserves every award its won this week. In 30 yrs of gaming this is simply the finest game ever made. This is a once in a lifetime achievement most devs dream of and I don't think we'll see its like again for a long long time and I'm sure it will influence games for decades to come. In a year of stunning, brilliant games, I didn't think TOTK could be beaten but BG3 has knocked it out of the park Also playing Spiderman 2 and this definitely DIDNT deserve to win any awards ! It's good fun but a rehashed open world, lots of bugs and lots of bloated filler. When I first had to reroute power generators I literally rolled my eyes in frustration, there was too much of that in the last 2 games ! And Peter Parker is such a limp, wet lettuce of a character..... Will also play more Halo Infinite with more Starfield - a huge disappointment but weirdly I can't stop playing it Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Member_the_game ....yeah I know what you mean, wasn't having a dig. I own an XBX but use it mainly for their exclusives like Halo, Gears, Forza and some great strategy titles. etc I think it's a shame for gamers to miss out on them. My XBX is used mainly because I can't get all the games I want installed on PS5 due to hard drive space, so I use it like 'another hard drive' if you catch my drift. But performance wise I think XBX is fantastic...but like you, my heart belongs to PS and Sony Have a good one !
More No Man's Skyrim...sorry, Starfield ..its the epitomy of a 6/10 game, dull in places , poor quests, usual Bethesda stuff, yet I cannot stop loving it or playing it! Halo Infinite ..peerless multiplayer still, this game gets a lot of flak but the campaign and MP are superb Diablo 4 ..Still consuming my life ! Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Deityjester .....After all the stunning games released this year, Dead Island 2 would be your choice ?? ..I'm not just saying this, but that game is the biggest pile of ***** I started to play. I uninstalled it after 5 hours.
More of the best game ever made (there, I said it ) in Baldurs Gate 3....I will literally never stop playing this masterpiece. Sinking into the amazing Diablo 4 which if I'm not careful will consume my life Will dabble into Forza Motorsport and StreetFighter 6...another GOTY contender Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@KingPev ...doh ! Replying to my own stupid comment here 🤣🤣 ignore my previous, I didn't read the article properly. Man, that's a big install for just the campaign
You can opt to just install the campaign and leave multiplayer & Warzone off. I never install Warzone...although I don't know why you wouldnt install the MP element. CoD multiplayer is peerless at what it does, regardless of any false hate it gets
Happy 500 ! I'm playing No Man's Skyrim sorry I mean Starfield 🤣 and Forza on XBX Not got much time for gaming this weekend due to attending a works exhibition, ggrrr Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
It's getting staggering reviews! 5 stars, 10/10s .....wow. loved the first game, now can't wait for this. What a year for games 2023 has been. Probably never happen again
Like most people, Spiderman 2, very good so far, only 3 hrs in. But I must say it's very buggy - cinematics freezing, lots of clipping issues, nothing major. But it's great fun
Plus more Starfield on XBX, one of those absolute 7/10 games yet i love it
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Baldurs Gate 3 ...GOTY, simple as ! Forza Motorsport on XBX, a bit underwhelming tbh, but early days
A GT7 beater it ain't Age of Wonders 4 on PS5 - strategy game of the year ! Seriously guys, I can't recommend this game enough....and Push Square haven't even bothered to review it. Crazy !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@LifeGirl .....agreed. I played this game years ago, well some of it. It's the only time I've ever been embarrassed to be seen playing a game, or to be a gamer
Starfield on XBX...loving it, strangely compelling and unputdownable. ..this is gonna last me years I think Baldurs Gate 3 on PS5 - quite simply GOTY ..about 110 hrs in and I'm gonna happily play 15 times longer than that Also, earlier got the plat for FF16 another GOTY contender ... Will also dabble in Invasions mode on Mortal Kombat on XBX 2023 is a legendary gaming year! Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@gollumb82 Creative Assembly will be just fine. Their Total War strategy series are huge on PC and their new Total War- Pharaohs and Warhammer 3 looks like another pair of huge hits
@somnambulance yep...I have all the current consoles plus a gaming laptop and Steam Deck. I'm not into great devs, great platforms or great publishers- I'm just into great games
Starfield...lvl 10 now and it's opening up and I'm getting used to its clunky systems and loving it ! A solid 9/10 for me. Then I'll play my GOTY Baldurs Gate 3 on PS5 which is consuming my life.
2023 must be one of the best years for gaming ever !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Totally agree. I've been playing it since day 1 on Steam Deck and also PS5 early access and it's gobsmacking in its brilliance. The new benchmark for RPGs and puts FF16 into a cocked hat ! In a year with Zelda TOTK ( which i didnt think could be topped ) and Diablo 4 and SF6 , this has risen to the top
It's hard, it's systems are deep, it's overwhelming in places and it's brilliant
10 / 10.....it even goes all the way upto 11
@tallythwack hhmmm it's running perfectly for me, are you on Xbox or PC ? But yeah I agree about the loading screens totally. Plus the UI isn't perfect but doesn't bother me too much
Nothing but Starfield on XBox X for me. I've even bought the limited edition controller! Only about 8 hrs in so far but it's literally Fallout in space. Runs buttery smooth, looks great and no bugs (yet )
It's very very good although one quest involving looking for junction boxes was so so dull....but the potential is amazing
Will also get stuck.into more Baldurs Gate 3 my personal GOTY
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Continuing with the utterly brilliant Baldurs Gate 3 on Steam Deck. This game has such breadth, depth and complexity to it, it boggles the mind. So many systems working underneath it, it really is a work of genius. Even after a year with TOTKDiablo 4 among others, this is GOTY ( with Zelda ) for me Will break up play with more Gran Turismo 7 which has its claws in me again Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
