World of Warcraft Retail (PC) Recently went back for the Hearthstone event and figured I do some mount farming on my Blood Elf mage.
WWE 2K23 (Xbox) About to finish up season 3 on GM Mode which has just been a disaster for me, injuries, rivalries not catching. Not sure what I did wrong but I need to rethink my strategy.
Hearthstone (mobile) Got sucked back into this one, mainly the Mercenary mode. I play this one in between other games.
Chrono Trigger (Super NT) In honor of Akira Toriyama's passing I am replaying one of my favorite SNES games. Thank you for everything Toriyama may you rest in peace.
WWE 2K23 (Xbox Series X) Just started season 3 against my son in GM mode. I took season 1 and he took season 2 so this season will be interesting.
That's all I am probably going to get through this weekend. I am still working my way through Yakuza: Like a Dragon but do to having to work this weekend I don't think I will get to it.
Played and beat Sifu on the Series X so it will be interesting playing it on its native console. Wasn't big on Hello Neighbor and I didn't like Destiny 2.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Xbox Series xlX) - Really enjoying this game so far, a change for the series yet some parts seem familiar. Just started Chapter 3.
World of Warcraft (PC) This weekend I am going to be playing some WotLK Classic with my son.
Not surprised at all. The last few years was a slow death for E3. Will I miss it, sure. There was nothing like taking the day off of work to watch the announcements. It's when I made the decision to go with a PS4 instead of an Xbox One a few years ago. It's where I first took Sony seriously as a gaming company. It will be missed but it's no surprise it's not returning.
@get2sammyb I have noticed that lately you have been getting review copies after everyone else, why is that? Did Pushsquare do something wrong or is it the publisher just doesn't want reviews out before the game is released?
It's been this way for a few years now. Ever since games were able to get day one patches an such.
The problem is corporate suits don't realize how complex games have become and expect the games to be out by a certain date i.e. the holiday systems. Devs are in a bind where ad if the don't make those deadline they are punished and so really have no choice but to push out half finish games and just finish the game by doing updates and patches.
@get2sammyb The only thing that it has going is that because it's based off a popular IP. That for whatever reason Peacock doesn't renew it for a second season one of the other streaming platforms will.
This show season seems to be a prequel of sorts to the game and next season seems like it will be closer to the game. Problem is next season is not a guarantee. I really hate it when a show leaves it open for another season, only to never get another season.
Just like I was saying from the beginning, MS don't want to lose that PS money from PS players. Sure if CoD were to be an exclusive some would have switched to Xbox or PC but the hard-core PS fans would just stop buying CoD and MS would lose that money.
As.I said before MS is a software company first and foremost, they don't care what console you have as long as your are using their software.
Hmmm this is exclusive to Playstation consoles. I wonder if Phil Spencer and Doug Bowser alerted the FTC and CMA cause this isn't fair to Xbox and Switch owners.
Enjoyed The Crew but couldn't get into The Crew 2. I think for Crew 2 it was the generic characters and story rather then a continuation of the first Crew.
@somnambulance I believe alot of them left for various reasons. Some were fired due to the frat boy practices going on and ones like the director for Overwatch Jeff Kaplan left due to the direction Blizzard was going.
@CthulhuFhtagn Kefka no contest. Kefka had so much personality where as Sephiroth didn't. Kefka's whole MO is the classic villain story and the fact that he just doesn't give a damn you never know what he's doing next. Where as Sephiroth became a villain cause he has mommy issues, please.
Not only one of the Greatest 2D RPGs of all time but the greatest Final Fantasy of all time. After 6 the Final Fantasy series just became garbage. All graphics no story and their characters have no development or personality.
Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster (Switch) I have a quest to finally finish this game as it is one that I have never finished. Currently just got Rosa and about to tackle Mount Fabul.
I see both versions of PS5 along with Xbox Series X/S all the time at my local Wla-mart and Target now. I also see them all the time for sale on GameFly too.
My friend was just able to order a God of War PS5 bundle no problem from Amazon a few weeks ago and got it overnight.
This is going to end up like the Harry Potter game they did a few years ago. Niantic thinks they can ad AR to any IP and it will be a success like Pokemon Go. Sorry but if it didn't do well with Harry Potter, I can't see it doing well for Monster Hunter.
