You guys have those games you missed out on growing up? The Yakuza series is one of those for me.
I'm thinking of getting into Judgement and the Yakuza series, but not sure where to start on the Yakuza front. I don't have time to play the whole series, but I wanna dive in. What's 3 must play Yakuza games?
@RaZieLDaNtE Yo what's up man, glad you enjoyed Miles! Such a nice compact story, some would even say... Spectacular . Cheers on Ratchet! Also I've been really wanting to get into Guilty Gear, but I already know I'm going to play it pretty casually and not too often since I'm really into other game atm. Probably gonna wait for a sale, looks like smashing fun!
@phil_j Personally I didn't like FFXV, despite forcefully trying to like it. 8 hours later I put it down, but it may be different for you.
As far as newer FF games just go with 7R, and if XVI really interests you then maybe give FFXIV a try. Its made by the XVI team, and is set in a very similar world.
@The_Pixel_King That's dope man, I was really surprised how dynamic the gameplay was by just adding a dodge button. Melee combat feels so smooth, and looks great too. Any favorite moments so far (without spoilers)?
@MightyDemon82 Yes the visuals and art style are very strong selling points for me as well. Since I know I won't play it for 100 hours I'm probably gonna wait for a sale
@MightyDemon82 I really wanna get into Guilty Gear but when I played the beta I didn't know any controls as it was my first experience with the series. Looks like a really good fighter though.
@gollumb82 Nooooo it hurts to read that but I respect and understand your decision. Maybe do what @Col_McCafferty said and take a break and lower difficulty.
It sucks because the story gets so good after that point.
@Nilexson Exactly that my friend, Stormblood is very much so a smell the roses experience. I found it much more enjoyable when I approached it that way. I have to say though Yda was already one of my favorite Scions and seeing how she grows in this expansion is heartwarming.
@Nilexson Stormblood became much better for me when I viewed it as another Realm Reborn as far as world and character building. Stormblood doesn't tackle the main narrative of FFXIV it seems, I just rolled credits lastnight and seen an Ascian for the first time in the expansion.
Stormblood takes its time to build up but man is the payoff worth it. It also pays off things that have been established since ARR, such as liberating Doma and Ala Mhigo. Around lvl 67 quests you'll start to see everything payoff.
It seems like the general opinion of the expansions is that Stormblood is the least liked compared to HW and ShB, with some people flatout saying they don't like Stormblood. Personally I'm really enjoying the journey, maybe it's because I'm a NIN/SAM main idk. I also like the traversal switch up when it comes to swimming.
@gollumb82 I wholeheartedly understand feeling that way but that boss is not worth being honorable. That entire palace was my least favorite part of the game, please don't let him kill your love for the game. Everything that happens afterwards is very much worth pushing through.

@The_Pixel_King Congrats on staying relatively spoiler-free, you're in for a great ride man! Naughty Dog are masters at what they do.
On the note of a PS5 indie, look into The Pathless. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm so glad they wanna release more information when it's ready and not rush. I'm a patient man!
Long live Yoshi-P!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 384
I've been a boring contributor to these posts the past couple weeks.
I just cannot get enough of FFXIV, such an amazing game. Apex Legends, Returnal, or DOOM in between for when I need something more fast paced.
Happy Gaming PS fam!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 383
@Link41x I think that's super cool, Uncharted is a beloved series glad you're finally taking a crack at it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 383
@Judal27 That game has such a nice open world, you're gonna love it and the story!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 383

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 383
@RaZieLDaNtE The ending of Miles Morales is gonna surprise you, I didn't expect such a smaller experience to feel so impactful.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 383
@Link41x Is that your first experience with the Uncharted series since you're primarily a mobile gamer? If so, how ya like Nathan Drake?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 383
Nothing but FFXIV for me lately, been such a joy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 382
@fR_eeBritney If the narrator is annoying I heard there's a slider in the settings for how often he speaks
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 382
Just finished up my journey with Yuffie in Intergrade and had a blast! Gonna be doing a hard playthrough soon!

@themightyant The Pathless was such a great and serene experience. Each of the chase sequences felt epic and the final boss really surprised me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 381
@wiiware I did this same thing xD! During the cutscene I literally felt like I was watching a Pixar movie, incredible work Insomniac!

@Jackpaza0508 This is the only way to play any Infamous game. We are sane.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 381
@Rob_230 What's the app called again and what's the premiere time?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 381
@Col_McCafferty May I suggest The Pathless? I really enjoyed my time with the game, Annapurna killing it again.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 381
Predominantly I will be playing FFXIV with some FF7R, Rift Apart, or Apex Legends when I get bored.
FFXIV is growing on me as one of my favorite gaming experiences.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?
Tales of Arise, Rider's Republic and Battlefield 2042 for me!
Elden Ring & Eiyuden Chronicle I'm keeping an eye on also.
Re: Talking Point: Was Ubisoft Forward a Show to Remember?
@Blacksmith1985 You should definitely play Far Cry 3 in preparation for Far Cry 6. You won't be disappointed.
Re: Talking Point: Was Ubisoft Forward a Show to Remember?
Wasn't really for me but it definitely wasn't a bad show, most interested in Rider's Republic.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
@gollumb82 Do you know how to exploit technical damage? Example: Hitting an enemy with Psy damage while Confusion is on the enemy.
P.S I love the DK pic, takes me back to DK64
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
@Nilexson I'm currently going through Stormblood myself! Still in my feels from Heavensward

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
Finally got a weekend off so I have tons of time for FFXIV, FF7 Intergrade, and R&C.
I've gotta say Tifa has some serious competition, Yuffie is incredibly fun to play!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
@pocketjazz Man dude sounds like you got some amazing weeks of gaming ahead of you, enjoy P5R!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
