Just watching the credits roll after finishing the final main mission in Burning Shores. Excellent game, can't wait to see where they go for the third one.
Even though this site is great with not spoiling stuff, I'm not going to read the review. I already bought it knowing it was going to be great. Will be playing tomorrow night and Saturday night. Can't wait to dive back in!
Got a book to finish tonight, So saving Burning Shores for the weekend. Friday and Saturday night will be just me and Aloy, Can't wait to get back in there!
Is it not the weekend yet? Looking forward to diving back in. Probably one of my favourite gaming world's out there. No doubt I'll be stopping every few minutes to go on a photoshoot. Forget Pokรฉmon Snap, Horizon Snap is the business!
Everything is ready to go. Ended up playing for an hour just to get myself a new Sunwing and ended up doing several battles. Can't wait to get stuck into Burning Shores at the weekend!
My most anticipated game this year, not watching anything other than the first footage that was shown. Played XV, VII, IX a bit of X and VIIR in that order. I have all available games on PS5 and will probably get the I-VI but need to actually play them. So many hobbies, so little time!
@Nightcrawler71 I've barely gamed at all this year. Can't settle on a game and switch off Like yourself after 5-10 minutes. I've found I'm enjoying reading more this year than any other hobby. Hopefully I'll be in the mood for Burning Shores later this month though.
Family gathering for the weekend and any free time I have will be spent reading Final Empire. I did play a bit of Hotline Miami and tried out Bedman? Last night whilst downloading HFW and a few other games in preparation for Burning Shores and some future games to play!
I'll be reading Final Empire and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Going to see John Wick Chapter 4 tomorrow. Can't decide what game to play at the moment, so PS5 is just for Blu ray and DVD's.
@Grimwood I disagree, I've seen plenty movie sites review t.v. shows and games. Visual novels are interactive and just another genre under the gaming banner.
Hopefully will be finished reading Surface Detail this weekend. Have been playing Rainbow Billy on PS5 and Eastward on Switch, but finding reading more exciting at the moment!
Have my niece staying over and she is all about Undertale and Deltarune at the moment ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ. Must be watching folk streaming it or something.
As for myself I'll be finishing off Hyperion today, amazing book so far. I picked up Nier Automata: short story long. Looking forward to reading that and replaying both Nier games at some point. Otherwise I can't really be bothered with gaming just now!
Must be entering a new era of gaming. No DLC or MTX for a WB game, EA putting out lots of new single player games and live service ones dying off every other week!
I had started Elden Ring late last Saturday, but I'm hooked on reading just now. Current book is Hyperion by Dan Simmons, So I'll mostly be reading that later tonight. First though I'm off out to football thing the 90 minutes of footie will be a snoozefest but I'll persevere for the free grub and booze.
I never really got the Potter hype, grateful to Rowling for getting generations of kids to read though. I have seen all the movies but wasn't that impressed, Especially the way it ended. Will probably give the game a miss!
If Malazan ever gets a game though, I'll be first In line to play it.
Not sure If I'll play anything. PS5 has barely been on in the last couple of weeks. Really enjoying reading at the moment, current book is Ten survival skills for a world in flux by Tom Fletcher (not the one from McFly)!
I'll probably not bother with the show as to much other stuff to watch. Love the games though, lt will be interesting to see where they would go with a part 3!
Been mostly reading this week finished the book on Norse mythology, The Cat who saved books and halfway through The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs. Hopefully read more of that today.
As for gaming trophy hunting in Tales of Arise and indoctrinating my friends and family in Cult of the Lamb, like I used to blow them up in worms with sheep back in the day ๐
The switch is a nice little machine, but I rarely touch it. Got some games for it in the sales so I can give it some love. PS5 reigns supreme though, got plenty to play and 2023 is full of potential bangers that I have my eye on and probably some I don't!
@Beerheadgamer82 I'm lucky as my dad has fantastic taste in music so I grew up listening to stuff from the 60's and 70's and then 80's stuff was always on in the background before I started discovering my own bands. Got to see Oasis live twice, once in Aberdeen and the other at T in the Park. Those were the days ๐
I never pay attention to metacritic I go by pedigree of the studio and gameplay videos if it's from an unknown quantity, a short trailer is usually enough!
@Beerheadgamer82 love the profile pic. That was my first album I bought!
I loved them all and want Santa Monica to make the next game an autorunner, as Traversal was so satisfying in Ragnarok. I could endlessly jump back and fourth gaps using the Blades as it was so fun.
@somnambulance My first was Bloodborne and I loved it, setting was right up my street. Enjoyed Demon Souls also and I have the Dark Souls trilogy but only put about 40 hours into the first one. Bought Elden Ring in the summer but moved house so it ended up in the backlog along with the souls trilogy.
Basically I'm a fan of Fromsoftware's output but at the same time also enjoy Sony's first party games and couldn't care less where they place on a list. Forbidden West and Ragnarok are also special and I look forward to discovering the world of Elden Ring, to see how great it is!
The more people I see crying about Elden Ring not being #1 the more I want to play it. Definitely will have to keep my expectations in check though as the hype machine can be a bit OTT, I loved Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden west. Looking forward to more great games in 2023. It helps to play a variety of genres and Indies as well as AAA to keep things fresh!
@JudgeDredd Sorry I fell asleep after I sent that comment. Good list of games there, only played Assassin's Creed origins and just heading to Rena in Talea of Arise (great game but just let me play๐)!
Happy new year and all the best to all at PS towers and the amazing community. Always great source of gaming news and plenty awesome folks in the community that are amazing to talk to!
@ShogunRok We all know that #1 is Babylon's Fall or some obscure JRPG. Whilst GT7 and Ragnarok are forgotten ๐
I haven't played Elden Ring yet, but looking forward to getting stuck in. The number 2 spot is certainly nothing to sniff at. Certainly doesn't make it a bad game!
Not yet played it. Have beaten Bloodborne and Demon Souls and about 40 hours of Dark souls remastered. Too many games and other things going on but I do plan on getting through them all, Downloaded Elden Ring onto the PS5 in preparation once the mood takes me!

Re: Horizon, The Wire's Lance Reddick Has Passed Away
I only really know of him from Horizon and John Wick. Such a damn shame.
Picked up the wick trilogy from my in-laws just tonight so I could do a re-watch before going to see chapter 4.

Very excited. Hope it lives up to the 18 on box art. Love a good dose of dark fantasy.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 16 Is Shaping Up to Be a PS5 Game of the Year Contender
This is the game I'm most excited for this year. I quite like that they change up the formula just as RGG has done with Yakuza/Like a Dragon.

Re: PS5 Pipped by Nintendo Switch to Be UK's Best-Selling Console of 2022
