online clout is a weird weird thing. I wonder if this wave will ever crash

I bounced off Borderlands (and Tiny Tina). The loot just becomes noise. The combat engine is fun, but then becomes samey and dull

I'm played out on Halo, but I'd love to see more XBox exclusives come to PS5

Sorely tempted, even though I know there aren't enough good VR experiences across both platforms

In completionist mode for Ghost of Tsushima. I probably need to up the difficulty. I'm a little too over powered now

Putting aside Fallout 4 for now and restarted Ghost of Tsushima. Now that my action game combat skills are way better, I’m really enjoying it. Now that I’ve upgraded my katana a few times, Jin is a bad ass

@Jaz007 I loved the third act so this seems like a subjective concern

It's just there are more gaming options which require less of a time commitment, at least session by session.

The whole "people are getting stupider" is just "old man shakes fist at cloud" or "back in the day..." or "those young people!" You sound like an old *****, and I'm actively trying to avoid that attitude as I get older

We are bombarded by entertainment platforms that are designed to capture our time. Our time is currency

I bounced off the Tsushima combat, but now that I've finished GoW:R and Jedi:Survivor, I think it might be time to return now that my action combat skills are a little better. Beautiful game

Bioshock would be good.

Replaying FO4 right now. It’s great. Tons of content. The RPG aspect is great. Combat is pretty good. Not GoW or Jedi Survivor good though

This is ***** gamergate rubbish

One of the outfits is a bikini. It was done for style reasons

I'll take another go at it. I played the PS4 version for about 15 hours and moved on. My backlog is insane though...

Skill Up recommended ToK so I might take a look

Finally going to finish GoW:Rag, which I've really loved. Bought Star Wars: Survivor so that'll be next

Still completing GoW:Rag, but trying to decide on my next. I think DD2 could be the one. I keep bouncing off FF for some reason

Where's Doom Guy?

I love CP77. I'm on my second run as a stealth ninja. Stuck on Oda though, so I need to persevere and try to get through that fight

If PC support happens then I’ll probably invest. The exclusivity is holding me back. On all platforms

The visual style is pretty cool. Very different from Automata, which isn’t good. Just different

If it’s not too punishingly difficult I could be interested

++ on fixing the stick drift

@rusty82 I just finished Jusant today and loved it. Short, sweet and simple. Dontnod really knew what they wanted and made it.

My backlog and Prince of Persia

@Mad001 what was woke about it? You play a white male engineer in a scifi space survival horror.

OT. It is a great game. Not normally my genre. Brilliant sound design. Very creepy

@enrickUranium I'm bummed out that I couldn't get into FF16. I only played the demo but found the combat engine to be boring as all hell

Going through my stack of shame right now with, Tchia, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Yakuza Inchi. Some PC stuff as well

Can't wait. Been holding off, as I found the PS4 version pretty janky. Hopefully there are some tweaks to the combat engine, but I doubt it

Hell yeah, I've only just started this one

Just loved HFW. I really didn't want to finish. I will probably go back to finish all of the sidequests/content at some point. Cyberpunk hasn't grabbed me as much, though I am digging Lego Star Wars.

Elden Ring is likely way too hard for me

I've started on TPM, but unfortunately it makes my wife sick when played split screen.

@Americansamurai1
I agree with you to some extent. I am enjoying it, but its open world is really awkward compared to say, HFW.

The main story seems to push you to play through, so I think I need to break off that rail and try to look around Night City just for fun

Yes, because I never grew up with the old consoles, and now that I have a PS5 I would like to play the classics, but with more contemporary graphics and sound

I really wish I could enjoy driving games, because GT7 looks amazing, but I'm just not a car guy sigh

20-30 for narrative stuff
40+ for true open world/universe (AC: Odyssey, BotW, NMS, Elite etc)

@redcorpuscle yeah that was pretty much my experience. A good friend of mine loved it. One day I may go back to it, if I feel like a bit more of a point and click adventure

I don't get Disco E. I played for a fair bit, but just got bored. I felt I was playing against the game mechanic too much and not the experiencing the narrative

Yeah, a great list. Maybe I should take a look at Arise. The demo put me off though. I haven't really got into the action JRPGs yet

Oh man, that looks great.

Was that a grappling hook?
Hopefully more open climbing like BotW
Love the energy glider thing

Can't wait for the story as well!

My first run through was on the Switch, so it will be quite the bump-up on my PS5

@General_Spiller In a gig-economy kind of way. i.e. people get abused by this, just like they are by Uber etc. This ***** will end any gaming utopia we think we have right now

@Logonogo It depends on the game design emphasis e.g. BotW is a realtime action game, but the emphasis is more on the open world exploration and puzzles. Combat is there and it is fun, but it is not the primary focus of the game IMO

@Artois it's milking new fans surely?

@Camlambelot except that the PS5 is the only gaming device I have, so it's not quite that simple

Skill Up gave it a great review. AUD$60 Reasonably priced here in Australia, considering the size

No Man's Sky. Hollow Knight

later this week Diablo II!

@The_Omnius I played DOSII for quite a few hours. I really enjoyed it, but it was just too hard for me. Combat was just too long and painful.

I have finally figured out a few of the No Man's Sky game loops and really digging that at the moment

She looks older, which fits. I can't wait!

@Jayofmaya How did you go with BotW?

My wife and I loved it. Amazing game

that is so cool.

I literally finished Horizon Zero Dawn yesterday and it is amazing
