@Shepherd_Tallon Hi there friend. Golden Axe. A game series I haven´t heard in awhile. Used to play all three game back to back on my Sega MegaDrive (Genesis). I knew those games and how to beat enemies and Bosses like the palm of my hand, back when was a kid. Good times. Well, I guess you could say Shadow of Mordor and War are kinda the "modern" version of those games. I think you can get Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara on Steam. It is more close to the Old school sprite games. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers.
Honestly, I haven´t felt the will to play videogames that much lately. Just watching some tv shows mostly.
But I decided to go back to Returnal and get the True ending and eventualy the Platinum trophy.
And...... The game is kicking my ass, just like in the begining 😜
I need to get my mojo back.
But man, if the game isn´t super fun. Because it is. A lot.
Might also do more Guilty Gear Strive online matches.
I´m just waiting for Tales of Arise and Deathloop to be honest.
Oh, and the PS5 showcase next week. Really hope it´s good.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
@Telekill Hi there friend "Ignore the third" I like what you did there. What the heck were Capcom team thinking with that project? Also, Dino Crisis Remake over RE4 any day. Because RE4 does not need it. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. Well, if the "Father" of God of War is excited about this Sony PS5 showcase, I´m even more so. This is the one show we all have been waiting for and they better deliver it. Can we finally get that MGS Remake now? And the Sillent Hill Reboot? Pretty please Sony? And thanks in advance. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll be finishing Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island dlc, check out Jack-O in Guilty Gear Strive and continue my Mass Effect 2 FemShep, Renegade, Infiltrator Insanity run. Because why not. It´s Mass Effect and I love it 👍 Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
@KingPev Hwy friend. Man, that would be beyond awesome. Legacy of Kain series have some of the very best character dialogue and voice acting in a videogame.
Raziel: Ah, my ancient "benefactor". And I dared to hope we had parted ways forever. Your silence was refreshing while it lasted. No doubt you have a conveniently inexpressible reason for your presence here?
Elder God: Do not be insolent, Raziel. I am eternally present, here and everywhere, now and always. I am the still centre of the turning Wheel, the hub of this world's destiny.
Raziel: But perhaps not so omnipotent as you'd have me believe. Your hold on me appears to be tenuous. I no longer seem to need you – yet I'm guessing you still need me. Just a small example. Oh, Soul Reaver, in my opinion, still has, to this day, the most iconic, beautiful, amazing, cinematic intro of a videogame. Cheers, stay safe and all the best
Hi there fellow gamers. Happy birthday to Dante and the DMC franchise. As a fan of the series (If my alias doesn´t give it away) I played trough all of them and....... Yeah, there are some discrepancies. My favourites in order are:
DMC1. The game that showed me how cool, cocky and awesome Dante is. Also because it was like a Action oriented Resident Evil. Because it was suposed to be one.
DMC3 Special Edition. Dante is even more cocky than before and you can play as Vergil. And that Intro though!!!! Fantastic!
DmC. There are some very cool ideas for level an Boss design in this game. Like the Disco level and Bob Vargas Boss fight.
DMCV. Mostly because it adresses the main characters backstory and their relationships. And Devil Trigger. And Bury the light. Yep, that´s it. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all "Let's Rock Baby!!!"
@KingPev Hi there friend. DMC games really pushes you to be at least good at them and on higher difficulties it can be literally "Hell". But only if you want to challenge yourself. Kinda like doing that ME1 Insanity run, same way I did 😉 It really made me apreciate the remastered version of ME1 even more. And how amazing the world building and storytelling is. Bioware set the Bar almost to High with it. Now if only Soul Reaver and the Legacy of Kain saga had the same treatment and care....... What I wouldn´t give for a proper remake and a following of the story........ Oh well 🤷♂️ Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@tselliot Hi there friend. That sucks, but at least you were able to get it to work. I think the "repeat" option came with the latest update and it´s a really good addition to the game, especialy for me, since I love the Duels in this game. And yes, it is an AWESOME videogame. One of the best. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. Yes, I upgraded to Director's Cut on PS5 and yes I want all the DualSense shenanigans and most importantly, the Iki Island expansion. I will be ALL over it this weekend. Time to gallop to the sun rise with my trusty Kage and take pictures of everything. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Ha, knew you were going to like it. But I have to agree with @TheArt Garrus as a character, with is iconic voice lines, is unbeatable. That´s your best bro, right there. Love their friendship with MaleShep and romance with FemShep. Mass Effect has some of the best written characters and party members in a videogame. Cheers, stay safe and both of you have a good one 👍
@Bentleyma- Hi there friend. Congrats on your new Shining PS5! And with R&C:RA to boot. Such a beautiful game. And the Dualsense really shines on this game, especially with all the crazy weapons. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the new system
Hi there fellow gamers.
After finishing my ME Adept, Renegade, Insanity run, I was going for a ME2 Infiltrator, Renegade, Insanity run.
But......
So, there is this expansion for my personal GOTY with an uprade for PS5, so.......... I´ll be playing that. That´s it.
I love that you can repeat the duels now.
I repeated pretty must all of them while I was remembering how to play this game again in Lethal difficulty.
It´s so fun....... When the CPU doesn´t cheat 😜
(spoiler)Man, Kojiro and Lady Masako are tough(/spoiler)

Hi there fellow gamers. Man, this looks absolutely stunning! The phisics, the environments, the animations, the Bosses...... If Game Science can make this game run like this, at 60fps, on a PS5, then they will become my new favourite dev team. I kinda wish the "player" was better though....... Will be keeping both eyes on this one. Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. A meaty update you say? And it´s free you say? Well then....... And I got it. Thanks for the tip @Quintumply Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Tried the demo, finished twice and it felt really good. The combat is pretty cool and flashy, but I would have prefered if we could have started a few hours in the begining so we could have learned more about the battle system mechanics. But Alphen and Law (the two that I finished the demo with) are super fun to play as. And man, is the game pretty. This is what a high budget Tales of looks like. And it looks GOOD. Kinda wanna play the demo with again, but this time with Kisara and Dohalim. Also, loved the party dialogue scenes. Quirky and lovable as ithey should be. Can´t wait for the full game. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
@RogerRoger Hi there friend. Yes, my name is Solid Snake, "Son" of Big Boss, Naked Snake, "Brother" of Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake........
Not really 😜 Actually my first name is David, just like Snake´s real name when he tells Otacon, Hal Emmerich, in a dialogue scene if you do something specific in the game 😉 It would be funny if I was called Solid David Pederneira Snake. Cheers, stay safe and thank you for the laughs
Hi there fellow gamers. Two of the most amazing rogue like games. Hades is soooo good. Fantastic art style, great characters and the part that still gets me. I´ve done 96 runs and there is always new dialogue. Not once have I seen or heard the same lines. Not Once. How is that even possible? SuperGiant Games rules. And Returnal is exactely what I wanted from Housemarque. An awesome, addictive, fun and challenging shooter with a very compelling story done right. Still have to Platinum the game. It is great to see both devs enjoying and praising both games. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
@Carl-G Hi there friend. You are absolutely right. The Metal Gear Saga is one of the very best gaming sagas of all time. And yes, before the amazing Dualsense and it´s fantastic haptic feedback, you could almost feel the rain outside the Tanker chapter in MGS2. Snake could even get a cold for staying outside too long. Just like in MGS1 in the area of Sniper Wolf. Man, those games are so awesome. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@RogerRoger Hi there friend.
Like I said before, Raiden became a fan favourite for a lot of people, especially after MGR: Revengeance and it´s awesome OST.
Having said that, for me personaly, it has to be Solid Snake with Big Boss a close second.
I mean, he even has the same name as I have as well as he´s iconic english voice actor 😜 So there is that.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@AdamNovice Hi there friend. I´ve watched "that" trailer so many times before I got my PS2 with Zone of the Enders, great game by the way, and the MGS2 demo. I still remember being completely flabbergasted with the Intro on the brige. It was so impressive at the time, that I invited some friends and family members to watch it with me. They thought it was a movie at first. And it very divisive with the Raiden being the "protagonist" instead of Snake. Kojima was very "sneaky" about it. It is still a great game and Raiden actually became a fan favourite over the years. And yes, Kojima was absolutely right about his prediction of the future. People can say whatever they want, but the man is a visionary. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@naruball @KingPev Hi there friends and thank you both. It really is one of the weirdest things. Aparently some people have the same issue with one controler, but not with their other one. Also @KingPev glad you decided to get Returnal. It is challenging, but super fun and addictive 👍 Just play the game slow and learn all the mechanics and enemies patterns. You´ll get there. Cheers, stay safe you guys and have a good one
@naruball @KingPev Hi there friends. I absolutely loved Control Ultimate on my PC. There are some amazing gaming moments. Sadly, I can´t seem to play the game on my PS5. For some reason, I can´t "control" Jessie normaly. She either stops moving or starts walking when I want her to run or sprint. It´s very weird. Even more because that is the only game were it happens. No problem playing Ratchet, Returnal, Nioh2 and others. I want to Platinum the game, but like this it´s impossible..... 🤷♂️
@pocketjazz Hey there. I see what you mean. Breath of the Wild is so good and really fun to just go anywere and explore to your own accord. Have like 167 hours on it. RDR2 is also phenomenal in both characters and world building. I do have some gripes with it´s gameplay mechanics though. Also agree with you on Lance Reddick. He was great in Fringe as well. Loved that tv show. JFO is quite probably the Best Star Wars game I´ve ever played. Loved that it had similar combat mechanics as Sekiro. And that end Boss fight...... You know the one. Great moment. Ghost of Tsushima is my personal GOTY, so there is that. And Control is awesome. Super fun videogame. I really want Remedy to continue working in that universe. You have good taste my friend. Just like me 😉 Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Long time. You are going to love ME2. With all of your choices from ME1, the great cast of characters, a very companion driven game, the awesome Lair of the Shadow Broker dlc, and that Final Mission that is SO GOOD. A few tips:
Always get the party members upgrades for the ship and grind for materials if you need;
Make sure you Paragon or Renegade points are high;
Do all of your party members loyalty missions. They are some of the best missions of the game and will help you later;
Have different save files. One mistake can cost you a life. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend
@naruball Hello friend. Thanks for the kind words. What can I say. Still not used to compliments. But when I enjoy something very much, I like to talk about in a very positive and passionate way. That´s just the kind of man I am. Cheers, stay safe and ebjoy the rest of the weekend
@pocketjazz Hello friend. I personaly loved HZD. The gameplay, graphics, the setting and story really got me. I´m curious to know what didn´t click with you. And you played some of my favourite games like
Jedi Fallen Order
Last of Us Remastered
Super Mario 3D World
Shadow of the Colossus
Limbo / Inside
Ghost of Tsushima
Control Just to name a few. And you played all of those without rushing them? Nice. I should also get back to Sackboy. I was really enjoying it. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend
@pocketjazz Hi there friend.
Wow, that´s a really good list.
My 3 sugestions to you are:
Returnal. If you like action, challenging arcade shooters with amazing and fun gameplay and a quite interesting story. Until I finished, it was all I could think about. Just one more run 😉
God of War. I mean, it´s one of the best games ever made. It´s games like this that I live for. So to speak;
Hollow Knight. This was another that consume me until the end. Possibly the best MetroidVania game I´ve ever played. After Super Metroid and Castlevania Symphony of the Night, two absolutely amazing games, that is saying something.
PS: that is an amazing list of games you´ve played this year my friend 👍
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. Another weekend is upon us. I´ll be continuing my Mass Effect 1 Adept Renegade Insanity run. I´ve actually did two missions today I´ve never done before. Crazy that even after 7 full trilogy playtroughs, I´m still finding new stuff. No wonder ME1 is my personal favourite. Also play more online matches in Guilty Gear Strive. I´m currently on Floor 9 with Ky, but this seems to be my limit. We can´t all be fighting game Gods 😜 I might go back to Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. I was really enjoying the game. I get now why people like this franchise that much since the PS2 era. Mine was Jak and Daxter. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
@naruball @Nightcrawler71 Hi there friends.
Congrats on getting your own PS5. Another friend of mine was able to get his to a few days ago. He is super esctatic about it and enjoying Demon´s Souls.
I would recomend both Returnal and Ratchet&Clank. Amazing visuals, awesome gameplay, great use of the haptic feedback and adaptive trigers and super fast loadings.
I kid you not, you won´t even see them. Because there are none.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy your new Playstation 5 👍
Hi there fellow ganmers. I have to agree with @johncalmc, @bozz and @slips666 It was pretty much what I just wrote in their survey. I really just want an even better DQXI. I won´t mind if the team wants to do a more mature, adult story and themes, but the game should always have that unique japanese humour that I personally enjoy. Wacky and goffy characters are fun and needed to. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
Hello fellow gamers. Well, now I know what I´ll be playing on my PS5 that day 😉 And if I can carry my progress to the full game, even better. Keep it up with the free demos Bandai Namco. We gamers and consumers apreciate it. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
@KingPev Hi there friend. Glad to see another player enjoying GGS. Let´s do some matches when we can 👍 If you want you can add me on PSN: RaZieLDaNtE1984 Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. For this weekend I´ll be continuing my Mass Effect Insanity FemShep, Adept, Renegade run on PS5, watch some Evo matches, play some more Mass Effect Andromeda on PC and might also go back to more Guilty Gear Strive online matches. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. It´s great to see this game was not abandoned nor forgotten. I remember seeing some concept art and very short clips of charaters movesets awhile back. Looks like it will be a very classic, traditional 2d fighting game and I´m here for it. Whishing RareBreed much success. Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
@Keyblade-Dan Hi there friend. What you said right there, is the dream. Soul Reaver 2, Legacy of kain Defiance, Bloody Roar 3 and 4, Devil May Cry 1 and 3, Onimusha games and GTA Vice City completely portable? Oh man, that is a sweet dream to have. The handheld system looks pretty interesting too 👍 @The_Pixel_King You and me both. Day one, no doubt about it. Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers.
As a Massive nass Effect fan, I bought the Legendary Edition on day one and did a full playtrough of the entire trilogy.
And it was as awesome as it was all those 7 other playtroughs
I´ve done before.
And like I´ve said in a previous post, not only Am I playing Andromeda on PC, I am also doing a Insanity, FemShep, Adept, Renegade run on the first ME. And I´m having an absolute blast.
Hopefully, this means EA learns the value of sigleplayer, story driven games made by studios that both knows and wants to make them as well as Bioware, not only making a brand new Mass Effect game, but maybe also an Adromeda sequel.
Because if the team has time, passion and resorces they can make a great game. Andromeda has potential.
And so does Bioware. I still believe in them.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
@Sorteddan Hi there friend and thank you for the reply. It is definitely difficult sometimes to catch your bearings when something bad happens. Not always easy to get up. But we do need to find some kind of strentgh, either inside ourselves or form the outside, from friends, family, loved ones or just the things that brings us joy, pleasure and excitement. Videogames, movies, books, gym, driving around and a good conversation, are some of my favourite things to do, especially when I´m feeling down. And we all feel down at some point. Cheers, stay safe and all the best 👍
Hi there fellow gamers. 50 to 60 hours is pretty long. Not absurdely long, like some other rpgs (Persona 5 Royal), so long enough. As long as the 3 pillars of any RPG are strong, it will always be a pleasure to play. What are the 3 pillars of RPGs you ask? They are as follows:
Gameplay. Combat system and exploration mechanics. Both need to be super fun. You´ll be playing these games for hours. No fun, no play;
Story and characters. Again, both need to be interesting and engaging. The initial mystery and premise needs to hook you and the more you play, the narrative and dialogues need to be on point;
The OST. Like I said before, you´re going to be playing these games for hours, wich means you are going to listen to the same combat, village, town, character and Boss music. It needs not only to set the mood, but also the tone. It needs to be somber and melancholic, but also happy and cheerfull when need be. And it needs to be EPIC and make you feel excited to fight one more battle for the next level up or that Boss fight that makes your blood pumpin, because of the story and the music. So there you go. the 3 pillars of RPGs. In my oppinion, that is😉 Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers.
After a not so good week and not feeling great myself, I decided to do a challenge run on one of my favourite games of all time: Mass Effect.
I´ll be playing as FemShep, Adept (because Biotics are OP), Renegade on Insanity difficulty.
Why? Because it is a game that I know and love and just felt like I needed something to raise my spirit and relax my mind.
We all have bad moments and days and it is precisely because of that that we need to stay strong and find and do the things that gives us some kind of peace and joy.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
@KidBoruto Hi there friend. That´s a big list. My list of games is:
Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island PS5 DLC Upgrade;
Tales of Arise;
Deathloop;
Kena Bridge of Spirits;
Sonic Colors Ultimate;
Death Stranding PS5 DLC Upgrade. Lot´s of games to play around to keep me busy until next year with Elden Ring. So what if there are some delays? There´s no shortage of great and unique gaming experiences for us to enjoy. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@Fiendish-Beaver Your welcome. I´m also a singleplayer videogame fan myself. Story driven, interesting characters, engaging narrative and fun gameplay. Those are the qualities I want the most in a videogame. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. Another really good interview @ShogunRok thanks. I´m glad that Iki island new content will be as big as one of the 3 acts of the main game. It will be such a pleasure to go back to my personal GOTY of 2020 and stop every few minutes to watch the beautiful sceneries, vistas and sunsets. And take pictures of course. Lots and lots of pictures 😜 Was thinking doing a new game plus on Lethal difficulty awhile ago, but now, I´ll just wait for the PS5 version with the dlc and live once again the Tale of Sakai Jin, the Ghost of Tsushima!!! Cheers, stay safe people and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. One month is not a bad delay. But September is already a full month, so...... Yeah. Anyway, take your time Emberlab and make your first game as best as possible. Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
@Fiendish-Beaver Hi there friend. The game is going to be singleplayer and it looks great and ambitious. Glad to hear more of it and hopefully the next update will show new gameplay. PS: awesome profile picture 😉 Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. I´ll be getting two of these, yes...... Wait, their not real? Does Sony not like money? I guess they don´t. Still have my Vita and still play it everyonce in a while. And my 3DSXL as well. The Steam Deck looks pretty interesting though. I can play all my Stem and Epic store game list in a handheld? I can get behind that...... In the future, when it´s less pricey. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. This weekend I just gonna play Guilty Gear Strive, both online and offline for that sweet Platinum trophy 😉 Just got to beat the ridiculous, cheap, completely unfair, not to mention broken, Nightmare Boss Nago. Easy right? I might play a couple of hours of Rachet and Clank Rift Apart to rest my hands and fingers though 😜 Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
@Yomogi Hi there friend. I quite like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 british voices. At first they sound weird, but after a dozen hours, especialy with the japanese humour, they went from tolerable to just funny 😉 Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Yes, my name is Solid Snake, "Son" of Big Boss, Naked Snake, "Brother" of Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake........
Not really 😜 Actually my first name is David, just like Snake´s real name when he tells Otacon, Hal Emmerich, in a dialogue scene if you do something specific in the game 😉
It would be funny if I was called Solid David Pederneira Snake.
Cheers, stay safe and thank you for the laughs
Re: Hades Dev Says Returnal Is One of His Favourite Games This Year
Hi there fellow gamers.
Two of the most amazing rogue like games.
Hades is soooo good. Fantastic art style, great characters and the part that still gets me.
I´ve done 96 runs and there is always new dialogue.
Not once have I seen or heard the same lines. Not Once.
How is that even possible? SuperGiant Games rules.
And Returnal is exactely what I wanted from Housemarque.
An awesome, addictive, fun and challenging shooter with a very compelling story done right. Still have to Platinum the game.
It is great to see both devs enjoying and praising both games.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 Looks Better Than Ever in 4K Upscaled Trailer
@Carl-G Hi there friend.
You are absolutely right. The Metal Gear Saga is one of the very best gaming sagas of all time.
And yes, before the amazing Dualsense and it´s fantastic haptic feedback, you could almost feel the rain outside the Tanker chapter in MGS2. Snake could even get a cold for staying outside too long. Just like in MGS1 in the area of Sniper Wolf.
Man, those games are so awesome.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 Looks Better Than Ever in 4K Upscaled Trailer
@RogerRoger Hi there friend.
Like I said before, Raiden became a fan favourite for a lot of people, especially after MGR: Revengeance and it´s awesome OST.
Having said that, for me personaly, it has to be Solid Snake with Big Boss a close second.
I mean, he even has the same name as I have as well as he´s iconic english voice actor 😜 So there is that.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 Looks Better Than Ever in 4K Upscaled Trailer
@AdamNovice Hi there friend.
I´ve watched "that" trailer so many times before I got my PS2 with Zone of the Enders, great game by the way, and the MGS2 demo.
I still remember being completely flabbergasted with the Intro on the brige. It was so impressive at the time, that I invited some friends and family members to watch it with me.
They thought it was a movie at first.
And it very divisive with the Raiden being the "protagonist" instead of Snake. Kojima was very "sneaky" about it.
It is still a great game and Raiden actually became a fan favourite over the years.
And yes, Kojima was absolutely right about his prediction of the future. People can say whatever they want, but the man is a visionary.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@naruball @KingPev Hi there friends and thank you both.
It really is one of the weirdest things. Aparently some people have the same issue with one controler, but not with their other one.
Also @KingPev glad you decided to get Returnal.
It is challenging, but super fun and addictive 👍
Just play the game slow and learn all the mechanics and enemies patterns. You´ll get there.
Cheers, stay safe you guys and have a good one
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@naruball @KingPev Hi there friends.
I absolutely loved Control Ultimate on my PC.
There are some amazing gaming moments.
Sadly, I can´t seem to play the game on my PS5.
For some reason, I can´t "control" Jessie normaly. She either stops moving or starts walking when I want her to run or sprint.
It´s very weird. Even more because that is the only game were it happens. No problem playing Ratchet, Returnal, Nioh2 and others. I want to Platinum the game, but like this it´s impossible..... 🤷♂️
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@pocketjazz Hey there.
I see what you mean. Breath of the Wild is so good and really fun to just go anywere and explore to your own accord.
Have like 167 hours on it.
RDR2 is also phenomenal in both characters and world building. I do have some gripes with it´s gameplay mechanics though.
Also agree with you on Lance Reddick. He was great in Fringe as well. Loved that tv show.
JFO is quite probably the Best Star Wars game I´ve ever played.
Loved that it had similar combat mechanics as Sekiro.
And that end Boss fight...... You know the one. Great moment.
Ghost of Tsushima is my personal GOTY, so there is that.
And Control is awesome. Super fun videogame.
I really want Remedy to continue working in that universe.
You have good taste my friend. Just like me 😉
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Long time.
You are going to love ME2. With all of your choices from ME1, the great cast of characters, a very companion driven game, the awesome Lair of the Shadow Broker dlc, and that Final Mission that is SO GOOD.
A few tips:
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@naruball Hello friend. Thanks for the kind words.
What can I say. Still not used to compliments.
But when I enjoy something very much, I like to talk about in a very positive and passionate way.
That´s just the kind of man I am.
Cheers, stay safe and ebjoy the rest of the weekend
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@pocketjazz Hello friend. I personaly loved HZD.
The gameplay, graphics, the setting and story really got me.
I´m curious to know what didn´t click with you.
And you played some of my favourite games like
Just to name a few. And you played all of those without rushing them? Nice.
I should also get back to Sackboy. I was really enjoying it.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@pocketjazz Hi there friend.
Wow, that´s a really good list.
My 3 sugestions to you are:
PS: that is an amazing list of games you´ve played this year my friend 👍
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
Hi there fellow gamers.
Another weekend is upon us.
I´ll be continuing my Mass Effect 1 Adept Renegade Insanity run.
I´ve actually did two missions today I´ve never done before.
Crazy that even after 7 full trilogy playtroughs, I´m still finding new stuff. No wonder ME1 is my personal favourite.
Also play more online matches in Guilty Gear Strive.
I´m currently on Floor 9 with Ky, but this seems to be my limit.
We can´t all be fighting game Gods 😜
I might go back to Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. I was really enjoying the game. I get now why people like this franchise that much since the PS2 era. Mine was Jak and Daxter.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
@naruball @Nightcrawler71 Hi there friends.
Congrats on getting your own PS5. Another friend of mine was able to get his to a few days ago. He is super esctatic about it and enjoying Demon´s Souls.
I would recomend both Returnal and Ratchet&Clank. Amazing visuals, awesome gameplay, great use of the haptic feedback and adaptive trigers and super fast loadings.
I kid you not, you won´t even see them. Because there are none.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy your new Playstation 5 👍
Re: Official Dragon Quest Survey Asks Fans to Help Shape Series' Future
Hi there fellow ganmers.
I have to agree with @johncalmc, @bozz and @slips666
It was pretty much what I just wrote in their survey.
I really just want an even better DQXI. I won´t mind if the team wants to do a more mature, adult story and themes, but the game should always have that unique japanese humour that I personally enjoy. Wacky and goffy characters are fun and needed to.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
Re: Play Tales of Arise for Yourself in PS5, PS4 Demo Next Week
Hello fellow gamers.
Well, now I know what I´ll be playing on my PS5 that day 😉
And if I can carry my progress to the full game, even better.
Keep it up with the free demos Bandai Namco.
We gamers and consumers apreciate it.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
@KingPev Hi there friend.
Glad to see another player enjoying GGS.
Let´s do some matches when we can 👍
If you want you can add me on PSN: RaZieLDaNtE1984
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
Hi there fellow gamers.
For this weekend I´ll be continuing my Mass Effect Insanity FemShep, Adept, Renegade run on PS5, watch some Evo matches, play some more Mass Effect Andromeda on PC and might also go back to more Guilty Gear Strive online matches.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Blazing Strike Channels Old School Capcom and SNK Fighting Games on PS4 in 2022
Hi there fellow gamers.
It´s great to see this game was not abandoned nor forgotten.
I remember seeing some concept art and very short clips of charaters movesets awhile back.
Looks like it will be a very classic, traditional 2d fighting game and I´m here for it. Whishing RareBreed much success.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Re: This Portable PS2 Is the Handheld of Our Dreams
@Keyblade-Dan Hi there friend.
What you said right there, is the dream.
Soul Reaver 2, Legacy of kain Defiance, Bloody Roar 3 and 4,
Devil May Cry 1 and 3, Onimusha games and GTA Vice City completely portable? Oh man, that is a sweet dream to have.
The handheld system looks pretty interesting too 👍
@The_Pixel_King You and me both. Day one, no doubt about it.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Sales 'Well Above' Expectations, Says EA
Hi there fellow gamers.
As a Massive nass Effect fan, I bought the Legendary Edition on day one and did a full playtrough of the entire trilogy.
And it was as awesome as it was all those 7 other playtroughs
I´ve done before.
And like I´ve said in a previous post, not only Am I playing Andromeda on PC, I am also doing a Insanity, FemShep, Adept, Renegade run on the first ME. And I´m having an absolute blast.
Hopefully, this means EA learns the value of sigleplayer, story driven games made by studios that both knows and wants to make them as well as Bioware, not only making a brand new Mass Effect game, but maybe also an Adromeda sequel.
Because if the team has time, passion and resorces they can make a great game. Andromeda has potential.
And so does Bioware. I still believe in them.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 387
@Sorteddan Hi there friend and thank you for the reply.
It is definitely difficult sometimes to catch your bearings when something bad happens. Not always easy to get up.
But we do need to find some kind of strentgh, either inside ourselves or form the outside, from friends, family, loved ones or just the things that brings us joy, pleasure and excitement.
Videogames, movies, books, gym, driving around and a good conversation, are some of my favourite things to do, especially when I´m feeling down. And we all feel down at some point.
Cheers, stay safe and all the best 👍
Re: Tales of Arise Is About as Long as Tales of Berseria, Says Producer
Hi there fellow gamers.
50 to 60 hours is pretty long. Not absurdely long, like some other rpgs (Persona 5 Royal), so long enough.
As long as the 3 pillars of any RPG are strong, it will always be a pleasure to play.
What are the 3 pillars of RPGs you ask? They are as follows:
It needs not only to set the mood, but also the tone. It needs to be somber and melancholic, but also happy and cheerfull when need be. And it needs to be EPIC and make you feel excited to fight one more battle for the next level up or that Boss fight that makes your blood pumpin, because of the story and the music.
So there you go. the 3 pillars of RPGs. In my oppinion, that is😉
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 387
Hi there fellow gamers.
After a not so good week and not feeling great myself, I decided to do a challenge run on one of my favourite games of all time: Mass Effect.
I´ll be playing as FemShep, Adept (because Biotics are OP), Renegade on Insanity difficulty.
Why? Because it is a game that I know and love and just felt like I needed something to raise my spirit and relax my mind.
We all have bad moments and days and it is precisely because of that that we need to stay strong and find and do the things that gives us some kind of peace and joy.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: PlayStation Console Exclusive Kena: Bridge of Spirits Delayed to September
@KidBoruto Hi there friend.
That´s a big list.
My list of games is:
Lot´s of games to play around to keep me busy until next year with Elden Ring.
So what if there are some delays? There´s no shortage of great and unique gaming experiences for us to enjoy.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: The Ambitious Crimson Desert Has Been Delayed Indefinitely
@Fiendish-Beaver Your welcome.
I´m also a singleplayer videogame fan myself.
Story driven, interesting characters, engaging narrative and fun gameplay. Those are the qualities I want the most in a videogame.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Interview: Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut - Sucker Punch Talks PS5 Features, Iki Island Expansion, and Japanese Praise
Hi there fellow gamers.
Another really good interview @ShogunRok thanks.
I´m glad that Iki island new content will be as big as one of the 3 acts of the main game. It will be such a pleasure to go back to my personal GOTY of 2020 and stop every few minutes to watch the beautiful sceneries, vistas and sunsets.
And take pictures of course. Lots and lots of pictures 😜
Was thinking doing a new game plus on Lethal difficulty awhile ago, but now, I´ll just wait for the PS5 version with the dlc and live once again the Tale of Sakai Jin, the Ghost of Tsushima!!!
Cheers, stay safe people and happy gaming to us all
Re: PlayStation Console Exclusive Kena: Bridge of Spirits Delayed to September
Hi there fellow gamers.
One month is not a bad delay. But September is already a full month, so...... Yeah.
Anyway, take your time Emberlab and make your first game as best as possible.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
Re: The Ambitious Crimson Desert Has Been Delayed Indefinitely
@Fiendish-Beaver Hi there friend.
The game is going to be singleplayer and it looks great and ambitious. Glad to hear more of it and hopefully the next update will show new gameplay.
PS: awesome profile picture 😉
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Re: With the Steam Deck Announced, This Is What a Next-Gen PSP Could Be
Hi there fellow gamers.
I´ll be getting two of these, yes......
Wait, their not real? Does Sony not like money?
I guess they don´t.
Still have my Vita and still play it everyonce in a while.
And my 3DSXL as well.
The Steam Deck looks pretty interesting though.
I can play all my Stem and Epic store game list in a handheld?
I can get behind that...... In the future, when it´s less pricey.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Re: Poll: Ghost of Tsushima Released One Year Ago Today - What Review Score Would You Give It Now?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 385
Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I just gonna play Guilty Gear Strive, both online and offline for that sweet Platinum trophy 😉
Just got to beat the ridiculous, cheap, completely unfair, not to mention broken, Nightmare Boss Nago. Easy right?
I might play a couple of hours of Rachet and Clank Rift Apart to rest my hands and fingers though 😜
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Third Tales of Arise Character Trailer Pulls no Punches with Martial Artist Law
@Yomogi Hi there friend.
I quite like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 british voices.
At first they sound weird, but after a dozen hours, especialy with the japanese humour, they went from tolerable to just funny 😉
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
