@Ralizah Very true, I love the way they reimagined Kratos and watching Atreus on the journey will keep you compelled I'm sure. Also fighting with that axe is super fun, Cory said it took them 5 years to get that axe right!
@Col_McCafferty Yeah I can definitely understand feeling that way after Uncharted saturation. I respect that stance, personally I prefer TLOU1's story over TLOU2.
@Jey887 I was working on my resistance weapon, I just got my Hoshikiri Recollection (Samurai Katana) after 60 fates and some dungeons... Was getting replica for glamour, but wasn't replica I needed. Went to discard replica and discarded my relic...
Actually taking a small break FFXIV, I accidentally discarded a rare item that took considerable time to obtain. I'm wounded, can't even look at that game right now. I'll be back though.
Currently giving Genshin Impact a spin on PS5 and gotta say it's a stunning and smooth game.
@Th3solution Congrats on finishing Returnal, I remember back when you first started and it was kicking your butt and you were doubting your ability to complete. So I imagine it was so satisfying to see credits roll. Also if you start FF7, Miles, or Uncharted shoot me a tag, I'm always down to discuss those.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Wow Foxy has Summer break really gone by that fast? Also I've been mildly interested in getting into a CRPG, would recommend Pathfinder for a 1st timer? Also I really really love the Uncharted series glad it's been treating you well, the 4th game is so satisfying after playing the rest of the series.
@Nightcrawler71 Lol the PS5 has spoiled me man, I played a game on my switch that had a 20-30 second loading screen and I felt slightly frustrated. I can't go back after having that near instant loading.
@ShogunRok Unfortunately when I got my PS5 I had some issues where I lost some saves and Ghost was one of them. Do you know at what point in the story I would have to get to for DLC access?
@pocketjazz Yo man you got a fat backlog! I'm having a tough time making a suggestion!
GOW: You're already playing a 3rd person action adventure type with Zelda but the gameplay and story is superior to the Zelda game.
Returnal: This is a nice pickup and play game but you have to be ready to at least commit an hour or more to runs. Also this there are no saves so either you're committed to the game or you're not.
Hades: Very similar, nice pickup and play game but this one can be saved during runs so it's friendly of real life situations or switching to other games.
Uncharted Collection: Not sure of your tolerance for dated mechanics and controls but these games are only getting older with the first game feeling the most clunky. Pretty good trilogy and the games range from 15-18 hours each.
Hollow Knight: If you're a fan of souls games, and just being lost in a game world and discovering things in that metroidvania format then go for this.
Personally I'm not crazy about the resident evil franchise so I'll let others vouch for these.
@Judal27 Yeah I've seen that Lyse hate too but personally I really liked how they developed her from ARR. But I gotta say if you're enjoying it now you're going to really like post-stormblood. In addition I can say Shadowbringers is as hype as people say. The first hour of ShB feels more impactful than the entirety of 4.0.
@Judal27 Yeah I seen a lot of that online before starting Stormblood myself, personally I loved journeying through new lands and I mean c'mon, we all love Kugane right(that music tho)? As a ninja main and Au'Ra I felt very connected to everything going on. I also really enjoyed Lyse, Hien, Yugiri, and Gosetsu.
Yeah ARR can be a slog sometimes but personally I enjoyed it, that portion of the game is all about world building and it all pays off. Honestly I don't think the expansions would be as good as they are if ARR didn't set foundations. Hope you stick with it!
@Daleaf I relate to this man, even though I know all the story beats I still find it enjoyable to replay. Is this gonna be your 1st playthrough on part 2?
@ShogunRok Awesome article, very insightful. Even though it says each entry is a different story, it must be very cool to follow that character's journey through so many entries.

@Col_McCafferty Is that your first playthough of TLOU? I'm guessing you met Henry and Sam?

@Link41x Hey bud, you finished up Golden Abyss?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
@Warspite2901 Yeah for sure, unfortunately we can't play since we're on different data centers.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
@Warspite2901 Trust me, the very last quest of ARR into Heavensward will have you hooked. Mark my words.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
@Warspite2901 Nice! What data center you on?
Yeah ARR can be a slog sometimes but personally I enjoyed it, that portion of the game is all about world building and it all pays off. Honestly I don't think the expansions would be as good as they are if ARR didn't set foundations. Hope you stick with it!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
Surprise surprise! More FFXIV and Apex Legends for me

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 386
@Kopite I think you should be fine, you may have to max Kasumi tho
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 386
@Link41x In that case I gotta recommend the Jak games so you can go deeper into the Naughty Dog Legacy!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 386
@Link41x You can play 1-3 HD collection and the 4th installment on PS4
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 386
@Kopite As long as you've invested time into Kasumi and Dr. Maruki confidants you're good
