TraCuz-

@weR1youR2Podcast Oh nice I see you like the Rushdown characters! Giovanna was a close 1st pick for me, just from her character design alone, super cool looking. I've also had some decent matches with Chip. Sol seems pretty strong, so I might try him. I'll tell you what though, I do not like Ky.

It's been interesting getting the hang of the controls, and trying not to button mash. But already even this early on, I think it might end up one of my favorite fighting games. Up there with MvC2, DOA5, or MK11.

@Constable_What I just got GG: Strive last weekend! What a fighting game, I'm new to the series and it's been a blast. I've been drawn to Milia Rage as a "main", love her moveset and theme song!

Who do you like?

Apex Legends is my all time favorite shooter, love it to bits!

PS5 version was a nice surprise drop, booted it up and played a match. Gotta say that the HDR definitely adds that fresh layer of paint, and 4K is nice but I'm one of those people that struggle to see differences between 1080 and 4K, so not that big a deal to me. Can't wait for 120fps though!

As of now I'll stick to the PS4 version. Not because there's anything wrong with PS5, I just prefer competitive play on Dualshock 4 vs Dual Sense.

Does anyone know how much progress you must have to access the tower content? I still haven't beat the game lol

@lolwhatno Doesn't bother me man, you don't even gotta use your mic if you don't wanna. Just let me know!

Also glad you enjoyed Minnmax, my go to gaming podcast guys!

@lolwhatno Yeah that buff to Rampart where can carry Shiela was huge, you can destroy door healers haha. Wattson's fences do 20 dmg per tick and a pretty hefty electric stun on enemies. I like her because her skill ceiling is high since her tac relies on trapping enemies. Ultimate is really strong too, zaps every projectile in the game (Bang, Gibby, Caustic ults, etc.) and regens on shields. Oh, and her passives are sick. She regenerates shields over time, like Octane does health. Also when she uses an ult accel, she gets her ult immediately rather than 35% increase.

If you ever wanna play I'm down man, psn is the same username. Apex is a tough game, wouldn't mind helping you get better.

@b1ackjack I just played MGS2 last year around this time, and amazing how it still stands up 20 years later (albeit if you can deal with clunky ps2 era game controls)

@lolwhatno Rampart is definitely dangerous in the wrong hands, especially when you get to trapping enemies inside buildings blocking doors with her walls, while teammates are flanking to other entrances.

As far as mains, I'd say Wattson and Bangalore. Love their playstyles and how they are polar opposites. Although I've been having a ton of fun with Maggie since she dropped. But when it comes to competitive play, diamond/master lobbies, Wraith is the pick.

@PenguinL Enjoy your first From game! You're gonna do great

@lolwhatno Who are your go to legends to use?

Elden Ring!! Recently I was crowned Elden Lord, but there's still ton to do...like that infamous secret boss everyone raves about.

Anddd maybe a match or two of Apex Legends

My character is level 40, and I have been loving every single second of this game. Masterpiece.

Man I love to see this game doing well, hopes it excites those into it!

I tried to get into it a while back but the material/inventory management + crafting systems really bogged me down.

@lolwhatno Yeah dude Strauss sucks xD, maybe when you get further/complete it color me with your impressions

@lolwhatno Haha yeah there's tons of stuff to mention, but of everything I felt that was easiest to implement in other games.

You got any favorite moments/characters?

Personally I'm a huge fan of Sadie Adler, and Charles

@lolwhatno Those are some fun games to bounce between, I love both of those games! The story and characters in RDR2 are amazing...gameplay not so much. One small touch I've always appreciated I wish more games would adopt is using the sprint button while crouched

It's a 7 for me. The gameplay is it's strongest contender, initially the movement felt really sluggish compared to the first game. But I got used it and feels great. Weapon modding and combat are fun as well. Massive props to the level design team, navigating around is incredibly free flowing and immersive. I also like the choices they give you in the narrative, but reviews seems to say they don't matter in the end.

Some characters have their charm, but my God most of them are FLAT. Overall solid experience and enjoyable.

10 years ago I would've never pictured an AC game taking a direction like this, and it looks pretty good!

@ShogunRok is this a standalone thing or do I have to own and complete Valhalla?

(Hoping its a standalone, I don't have the endurance for the main game)

Top 3 Games of 2021 for me:

1. FFXIV
2. Apex Legends
3. Persona 5 Royal

Been working on clearing the latest Savage Raids in Endwalker, and people have been testing my patience.

Hoping to clear this weekend

Endwalker's spot is so deserved, an immensely satisfying conclusion to an absolute incredible journey.

Thanks for the post @get2sammyb, just looked up a trailer and bought Ender Lilies looks pretty good!

If you know me I'm playing FFXIV , it's been great finished the new story now just getting geared up for the savage raids that drop in 2 weeks.

Besides that been playing games that are easy to jump in and out of; Apex Legends, MK11, and just bought F!ST so hoping it'll be good.

@Anti-Matter Sims Bustin Out is so good, my favorite next to Sims 2!

@Th3solution That God of War picture featuring Mimir made me think of you and your old picture haha

Endwalker is here!! So far I can't believe they're managing to top Shadowbringers, the capability of this team is unbelievable. Loving the new Reaper class, and Paladin feels to smooth this expansion. I adore every second I'm in the world.

FFXIV is undoubtedly the best game I've ever played

Aside from the queue issues it really is an amazing Expansion launch!

Forge Ahead!

Still hoping that Fuser becomes a PS Plus game!

This game officially killed any hope I had for this franchise. I used to really really love Battlefield.

Lol if you want a good laugh watch Angry Joe's review

@Kalvort Enjoy it man! Have some tissues nearby haha

@ApostateMage You should spoiler tag that casino

FFXIV Endwalker prep for me!

All I could hear when seeing that Astro Playroom picture was:

ESS ESS DEEEEEEEEEE

With Endwalker being delayed 2 weeks it gives me some time dive into other aspects of FFXIV, and also check out the new season of Apex Legends!

Happy gaming PS fam

@Th3solution Man those squats and pullups are something else! Glad to see they kept the original charm, even building on it.

Do people still play this? Feel like the hype really died down

No breaks for me!

Still all in on FFXIV

@Happychocobo Best comment lmao

I've been wanting Fuser to be a PS Plus game forever

Well deserved.

Same old FFXIV for me, prepping for Endwalker next month!

Super hype!!

@AgentMantis Man I slept on Genshin too man, really impressive free game. Not to mention it can be played on mobile.

@JustPlainLoco Haha those are two challenging games bounce between, do you rage quit off of one and go to the other xD?

@theheadofabroom Hmm August, if I remember correctly you're in the 4th or 5th palace? How you liking it?

@crazykcarter Such an underrated game, could you imagine a current gen version?

@nessisonett These makes me think of your old Peter Parker picture haha

@colonelkilgore You ain't never played a souls-like that ya never liked! Haha, how have you been friend it's been a while.

Do you guys think 8 still stands up well in 2021? I'll give it a shot if so, never played that one.

I'm a simple guy VII and XIV are my favorites. Honorable mentions for me are IV, VI, and X.

@lolwhatno Haha yeah Just Cause is good fun, sometimes jank but good fun haha
