Haven’t seen a show tank like this in some time, especially on HBO of all places. Hopefully in a decade or so they’ll try again, or even create their own story within the same world. Great stuff there, if done right.
If I get at least one game a month out of it that I would’ve picked up at some point, I’m good. Ultros has been on my list forever, so there’s that. Huge Subnautica fan, and while I wasn’t to fond of this one, it’s still a solid game nevertheless. Overall ok month for me, solid for most, I imagine.
Enjoying climbing irl, I was very excited for this one, but unfortunately the demo turned me off. Something about the visual aesthetics hurt my head lol. Like, there was an uncanny-ness to it all, and the jittery movements combined with that oddly made me just feel weird and borderline nauseous. I can’t say that’s ever happened to me in a game before, outside of vr. Would’ve been a day one otherwise.
All of these games could be spliced together and 9 outta 10 people would never know the difference. Hopefully they eventually become a bit more original and unique to stand on their own and not just more of the same.
If there’s a trade-in offer of some kind, yeah, sure. I love mine, have only had it since this past October, but has been an incredible experience since.
Love me some demos! Hadn’t planned on giving this game another thought, as every title of theirs is more or less the same. Now I’ll at least try it out and see if I’m wrong and can make a more informed decision.
Ultros has been on my wishlist for awhile now, so that’s a nice bonus. Subnautica is one of the best gaming experiences I had in some time, but I found this one to be severely lacking, still holding out hope for the proper sequel. The other two I’ll download but never play, but overall decent month for most.
Oh I’m sure this site thinks he’s sticking his foot in his mouth, again, apparently. It’s an incredibly valid thing to say, with how bias articles are nowadays. Just look at the gaslighting for Highguard.
Realistically, there just won’t be a big jump from Gen to Gen anymore and these consoles life’s are becoming much longer bc of it. How much better will it really be then the Pro and would it even be enough that people would jump ship for it. Doubtful. Might as well wait and make up whatever excuse in the mean time.
@Nightcrawler71 oh man, id love that! 100% it way back on Xbox and would love to do it again. Just bought the dlc on sale this past week too! Haha. Fingers crossed!!
Absolutely love mine! Wife randomly got me one for last years bday, figured I’d never use it, cut to playing it every night since. Love it. Especially now more than ever since I can stream just about every game I own or on the service w/o messing with my console. It’s definitely one of those devices you have to actually try for yourself to “get it.”
Nope, not at that $40/$60 price point. Will pick up down the line on deep discount when all content is out. Crazy price for what’ll maybe be a handful of hours.
I feel like most that complain about Premium do so to justify their own reasons for not being able to afford what equates to a couple bucks a month extra at most or rather their parents won’t cover it. There is clearly value there and at an incredibly low price at that.
Returnal and Demons Souls are my two favorite ps5 exclusives I’ve had the pleasure of playing and platting, absolutely god-tier gaming right there. Sadly, I feel they’re often overlooked or just forgotten about. DS in particular is still one of the most visually striking games I’ve seen to this day and Returnal’ audio design and haptics are nothing short of amazing. Anywho, back to Bloodborne. 🍻
I almost miss the days of having only a handful of really great choices a year, this is not sustainable for me, I can’t keep up. Too many great games! 😅

Re: Highguard Is Already Struggling to Hold Players' Attention
Absolutely hilarious. Without a doubt one of the most aggressively bland games I’ve had the displeasure of playing in some time, like, wow..

Re: Larian CEO Swen Vincke Sticks His Foot in It Again, Thinks Game Reviewers Should Also Be Reviewed
The moment I see Bluesky referenced anywhere, it immediately loses any credibility as anything placed in reality and not emotional drivel.

Re: Awesome Beat'Em-Up Absolum Slaps February Release Date on Huge PS5 Patch
Is this any fun solo? I find the genre tends to fall pretty flat when not with a group of friends.
Re: Ubisoft May Have Put Watch Dogs Down for Good
Legion was so exceptionally terrible. The OG and its ideas had so much potential, but sadly never came to fruition.
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Might Not Launch Physically at First to Avoid Leaks
That makes absolute sense, no issues here. I prefer digital nowadays anyway, much more convenient.

Re: PlayStation State of Play Is Locked in for February, It's Claimed
I’ll take a Saros deep dive..
Re: Hands On: Highguard Is Real and Potentially Great on PS5
This genre in general has always been mediocre, but this looks exceptionally bland.

Re: Despite Its Price, PS5 Pro Enjoyed a Very Respectable 2025 in USA
I can normally justify just about anything, but as it stands, that price is hilarious.
Re: Prepare Yourself for Nioh 3 with This 17-Minute PS5 Gameplay Video
Maybe one day they’ll change the engine and not have every game they develop look near identical to each other.
Re: Make Your Code Vein 2 Character on PS5 Now, So You Can Get Straight to the Action Next Week
Dang, must’ve misread. I was hoping there would also be a playable demo, but looks like it’s just the cc.
Re: Make Your Code Vein 2 Character on PS5 Now, So You Can Get Straight to the Action Next Week
That’s awesome, I always end up wasting my first night with a big new game working on my character. 😅
Re: PS Portal Peaks in USA with Highest PS5 Console Attach Rate Yet

Re: Skyrim-Like RPG Tainted Grail Proves a Huge Success
Was excited for this one, but the demo absolutely fell flat for me and looked and played like a PS3/360 era title.
Re: Gritty Roguelite FPS Soulslinger Hunts Down a PS5 Release Date
Eh, looks a bit too similar to Metal Hellsinger and Doom for my tastes.
