@HeavymetalGordon Welcome, hope you enjoy your time here. Rift Apart is great, I need to jump back into Elden Ring myself as I started it but got distracted by other things.

I have been spending time with my family and the In-laws as it's my other half's 40th today. If I do get a bit of time later I might play some Judg(e)ment as I recently started that!

@Tr3mm0r why don't you like Anime?

Loved RDR2 but never played the first one. Will definitely get it at some point not for £50 though.

I still need to play the Divinity games in my backlog before I think about buying this. Sounds great though.

Recently finished Hob. A lovely little puzzle platformer. Started A.I The Somnium Files which I'm enjoying a lot.

Have a great weekend everyone!

@Darude84 fingers crossed you find it more comfortable.

Since finishing FFXVI, I can't seem to get a game to stick. Probably play more of the indie games and shorter experiences I have in my backlog. Other than that I'm currently reading up on Japan's history from 1850 to the present day. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend everyone!

@Darude84 You should check if any of the other control layouts work better for you.

Finished FFXVI, what a game that was. Will go for the platinum at some point.

Not sure what will be next. Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm saving the final mission for the weekend. Got 43 of 50 trophies so far, 85 hours played. Love the game and looking forward to playing it again in Final Fantasy mode.

@KaijuKaiser @Rob_230 I was Just about to post something similar, still need to get Resident Evil 4 as I've enjoyed the last 3 games. Slowly catching up with a lot of classic series, I'm enjoying a lot of the remakes and remasters as I missed out on loads of Playstation games being primarily an Xbox and Nintendo owner back in the day. Next up Metal Gear Solid and will slowly get through all the FF games, XVI is great regardless of what some of the more hardcore (grumpy old gamers) think.
5 million is a great number though and I'll add to it soon!

@Cordyceps I can't even remember that so I need to replay it. I do remember the one in XV though.

Looking forward to playing through all entries!

@Cordyceps DLC for this game? Sign me up, having a blast playing this one.

@Rhaoulos I haven't seen much in the way of articles about FFXVI. Then again when things come around that I'm interested in I tend not to look at every bit of info, enhances the experience if you don't go online. Death Stranding was a phenomenal experience for me, I don't speak for everyone but I enjoyed it a lot. Same with FFXVI, close to 80 hours played and still plenty to do. Story is excellent and gameplay loop is lots of fun, chaining combos together with different Eikon abilities is a blast, discovering new things all the time.

Well it's been a fun weekend of FFXVI. Only one more main Mission to go, will save the finale for next weekend. Currently have 39 out of 50 trophies, definitely going for the platinum, but not right away. Will play something else first and that way I can experience the story all over again!

Phil and Jim skipping down the street holding hands, Finally!

@Triumph741 Only game I'm interested in on Game Pass is Hi-Fi Rush, the Addition of COD is hardly an enticing reason to sub to it. Maybe once they pull their finger out and have bangers releasing all the time, I'll get on board. Until then my PS5 and Switch have my gaming needs covered!

More FFXVI as it's a great game, almost finished it at 92%, but trophy hunting before I head towards the endgame. I can tell this game will be superb in new game +.

@Sekijo It's a fun game for trophies. I still have ages to go before the platinum. Currently looking into crafting a
Certain weapon and still 2 story based trophies to pop.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

@CreepingShadow Love your Kermit Xenomorph profile pic.

@WallyWest I have to disagree about the combat being shallow. I've yet to fully max them all out, but experimenting with all eikon abilities and mixing them up is fun.

I can't wait for this one. Huge Mignola fan here. Looking forward to diving back into comics in general, as I've been collecting rather than reading them.

@Darylb88 Surely not just chips? Got to be a main dish with those chips.

Only played Forbidden west and FFXVI but both are fantastic in my opinion. On the final stretch of FFXVI now, going to do side content before heading to the big finish.

Sounds good to me. Up until recently the only turn based games I've played before the PS4/PS5 era have been Pokemon Blue, one of the Mario RPG's and Blue Dragon. Having now played a handful of FF games, Dragon Quest XI and Trails of Cold 1 & 2. I enjoy these games a lot. Also loving FFXVI at the moment, being new to the series maybe helps but I like that Square changes it up with different entries.

Edit: Also looking forward to getting into Like a Dragon. Played Yakuza 0-6 and again I'm fairly new to this series and not a disgruntled fan who moans about change.

Far too nice outside to be playing games today.(there's a sentence I never thought I'd type 🤣).

Will most likely continue FFXVI later on. Such a great game, love it warts & all.

Naniga okiteiruno? I love the Japanese voice over and I'm seven games in so won't change now. Great for those who struggle to read/ keep up with subtitles.

Bought Alan Wake not long ago for next to nothing, I've yet to play all the other COD games that have been given away through plus. maybe one day haha. Endling however looks different so I will give that a go!

I'm taking my time with it and it's great. Just over the 70% mark and had the most epic boss battle!

I'll get around to Tears of the Kingdom, one day maybe. Just got Ganon to beat in the main quests for Breath of the Wild. Really enjoying FFXVI, Just reached the capital looking forward to seeing where it's heading, aside from the obvious extremely awesome Dominants duking it out.

More Last of Us and Horizon are in the works. So I'd imagine they more than made their money back.

Great game so far, about 20 hours in. Side quests are fine, Not as boring as they are being made out to be. one even made me laugh and another tear up a little .

Where is all the sex/nudity and swearing we were promised? I'm assuming all that comes in the back half of the game as it's pretty tame for an 18 so far. Still an 11/10 game despite it's flaws!

Loving the game. according to my PS5 I'm about 40% done, The battle music is excellent, love hearing Clive shout "Not this time" after a dodge and then going in for a counter attack!

@Th3solution I'm guessing you mean
XVI and not VII?

Hopefully, FFXVI once the postie has been.

It looks like we are all old 🤣. I have to wait until tomorrow now to play. It's at my delivery office which is just around the corner, yet they didn't deliver. Must have just missed today's load 🤷‍♂️

My copy hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully be here when I get home from work tomorrow.

@neon-xxiv which ones?

Can't wait to step into clives boots and take Torgal for an epic crystal spotting adventure. Friday 3pm can't come soon enough.

Physical copy is on it's way, been a while since i've been this excited for a new release.
Get myself some snacks and kick the mrs out of the living room for the weekend!

Everything gets dropped for this incoming beast. Only a week to go ladies and gentlemen 😎.

I'm going in blind. Can't wait for next week as this is my most anticipated game of the year. Glad to see the demo's a huge hit with the majority of those that have played it!

I had it on in the background while playing Breath of the Wild. It was fine, I wouldn't say it was any better or worse than the PlayStation and SGF ones. Across all presentations there are plenty of games coming for all types of gamers!

I think Geoff nailed it. So many games that I want shown tonight!

Final fantasy XVI. I'll get SF6 in a sale at some point. Not sure about Diablo. Never played one of those before.

@TheArt I love them all. So long as I sprinkle in different types of games and indies in-between. I don't know how you do it, jumping between all the different open world games at the same time.

I watched it last night, after setting up my new Router as previous one died on Tuesday. I honestly think everyone is overreacting as there was some damn fine looking games in the showcase.

I'm a very patient person and I know we will see the first party stuff when it's ready. I'd love some new genres and types of gameplay to emerge as much as anyone and online multiplayer isn't really my thing although I do play from time to time. But the doom and gloom needs to stop. At the end of the day it's just games and If certain ones aren't for you simply don't play them, something for everyone was on show. I love gaming as a hobby but I know when to walk away and do other things to keep it fresh.

Barely gamed this year and it's not because of the lack of awesome games. Can't decide what to play half the time as I'm spoiled for choice and end up picking up a book instead as I'm really enjoying reading at the moment!

Sorry for the long post.

Final Fantasy XVI will take the top spot in a few weeks time!

Probably some Horizon Burning Shores to go along with this beauty. Never thought it would see the light of day, as gorgeous as the game itself!

I had to get up for work this morning, it's all Jim Ryan's fault 🙄.

I reckon Final Fantasy XVI could be game of the year. I'm sure TotK is a fine game but I've Just restarted Breath of the wild, as I didn't get far through it when I originally picked it up. So be a while before I play the sequel. Same for Spider-man 2. I loved the first one and MM so fingers crossed it's not just a bigger version of those and does something different!

I just love the combat loop in this game and the new abilities added with Burning Shores makes it even better. It's so much fun just wandering around and discovering stuff. Best way to play these games are to ignore the map, turn off the markers and you'll have an amazing experience, and if your like me you'll constantly jump into photo mode and lengthen that playtime even more!
