I’ll definitely grab this, I never got to finish it because my controller started acting up and I just never went back to it. This game has one of my favorite random lines in a game, “Did you just swear vengeance against a door?”
I’m looking forward to it, regardless of mixed reviews. I’m more than happy with a solid 7 average, which most people tend to forget is still good and above average.
I played some of Dead Space Remake. Also, my in-laws have the kids for the weekend, so my wife and I ordered a nice dinner and laid in bed playing It Takes Two for about six hours. What an incredible game. Plus, it was just great having that time with just my wife, even if it’s a strange theme for that exact moment. 😂
Still my least favorite in From’s catalog of Soulsborne games. My opinion has changed significantly on Sekiro since release though. Sekiro went from a game I didn’t like at all but I thought had great combat mechanics, to a game that I think has the best sword fighting in video games and has become a game in my top five of all time.
On Steam Deck I squeezed in a bit of Sekiro last night. Then, after the kids went to bed, I started Kumitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess on Game Pass. PotG is very much a “just one more round” kind of game, I played four or five levels after only intending to play one, I’m really loving it so far.
I haven’t tried the demo yet, but I grabbed it for Steam Deck. If I like it I might grab it on there, I have Game Pass, but I want to support studios doing weird games like this.
I’m mostly focusing on Shadow of the Erdtree. I had bought the Kimgdom Hearts Collection on Steam but it was almost unplayable on Steam Deck with how much it kept freezing. I returned it and ordered the Metal Gear Solid Collection and Hogwarts Legacy instead. I fired up MGS for the first time since beating it on PlayStation.
@cburg luckily for me, I only it beat it the one time. It’s absolutely phenomenal, but I just don’t play games like that usually. I can only imagine how brutal NG+7 is for this DLC. I was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts was max level, all stats at 99, and he said he was still getting taken in one hit by a lot of the bosses. He said it was until he found the Scadutree fragments that it started getting easier for him.
@cburg I’m right there with you on those two. Rellana kept destroying me with her twin moons attack. That stupid hippo would always manage to catch me in his mouth and slam me down. I finally beat him today.
@Nepp67 I enjoyed the first Hypertube, I wasn’t a fan of the second, but admittedly that’s because I really sucked at it. The elevator was a huge highlight for me, that mission was great.
I beat Stellar Blade this weekend, played some Astro’s Playroom, and I jumped back into FFVII Rebirth for a bit. Most of my game time this weekend was spent on Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. I wasn’t going to get it but I was between games and had a weekend all to myself so I decided why not. It’s punishing, brutal, and phenomenal.
@J2theEzzo I basically lived off of markers when I was playing it but I know I still missed a ton. That’s one thing I love about that game though, for as much as I’m sure I missed, I don’t feel like I missed anything, I still felt like I had a full experience.
@J2theEzzo thanks for the reply, that’s good to know. Like I said, I’ve never fought him before because I just fought anyone I came across organically through exploration, I didn’t want to specifically look things up. I had read somewhere recently that Mohg is tough to get to and a pretty hard fight, but that’s good to hear, especially if I eventually decide to grab this.
@Kraven it really is, and to an extent, I get it. They thrive on making games that are tough and not meant for everyone, but it would be great to be able to just jump right into a DOC/expansion without having to take down a couple of tough bosses first.
@Kraven that’s where I’m at with it too. I’m excited it’s as good as it is for everyone (not that I’m surprised), but I haven’t played it since I beat it at release and I don’t think I beat Mohg, so to go back, relearn the game, and fight him just sounds daunting. Not to mention, I don’t have the time to sink 30+ hours into this, unless I’m sacrificing other games I’d rather play more.

I finally beat Genichiro in Sekiro and made my way through Senpou Temple, so on to the next area.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 539
Nothing, I’m on a nice relaxing vacation with the family. If I’m not sleeping I’ll play Sekiro on Steam Deck, but that’s the only way I’ll be gaming.

I’m still working my way through Shadow of the Erdtree, but because I hate myself, I’m also playing Sekiro on Steam Deck.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2024 So Far?
