@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah this is basically my first MMO and it does a really good job of easing you into the gameplay loop. Just hmu man, I've been looking for other new players to experience the game with.
@Col_McCafferty Same! I'm really hoping they improve traversal. I played for the first time after I finished Ghost of Tsushima and it made me appreciate Ghost's game design. When on high ground all you gotta do is look left or right and you'll find place to climb. It was sometimes frustrating to have to Skyrim jump up and down mountains in HZD. Two things I wanna see are the ability to mount flying machines and set ziplines with the ropecaster.
@Fight_Teza_Fight I just got into the free trial about 2 weeks ago and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I'm down to join up if you want a friend, same username on PSN just say you're from pushsquare
@Col_McCafferty Nice! So how did you take the reveal of Hephaestus also working independently in addition to Hades? Sylens capturing Hades? Very interesting stuff, can't wait to see what they do with Aloy in Forbidden West.
@playthedangame Yo man I'm playing through Snake Eater right now! It blows me away how this PS2 game still manages to immerse me in 2021. Loving the camouflage, food, and cure gameplay mechanics.
This weekend I have to complete Metal Gear Solid 3 and Persona 5 Royal so I can free up the schedule. Gonna make some time to prepare for my hard playthrough on FF7R when Intergrade drops in June, and also being immersed in Eorzea in FF14.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Yeah overwhelming for sure haha, I made it to like the 4th or 5th boss on Bloodbourne and ran out of patience for trying. Sekiro I also ran out of patience when I ran into a "headless" enemy. Anyone who has played knows the struggle xD.
I think I adore Persona 5 the same way as you with MGS3, and I think if you're gonna make the 100+ hour commitment to that game you should get Persona 5 Royal. It's for sure the best and definitive way to play as they toned down on some of the grindy aspects of P5 vanilla, not to mention the additional content. If you've spent an hour or so toying with it and can see yourself playing it further then I say Royal is 100% worth the purchase. Digital deluxe is $30 rn in Spring Sale on psn.
@Rob_230 Breath of fresh air is a perfect description of that game, especially after something as narrative heavy as Persona. Lemme know what you think, maybe we can discuss it whenever you play?
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L I hear ya man, I've gotten him so low so many times. I'm currently taking a break from the game because I gotta farm for heals and I don't feel like it haha.
On the other hand tho I'm glad it's clicking like that for you. Are you thinking you're gonna make that jump to Bloodbourne? Lately for the games I think about when not playing are Persona 5, FF14, and MGS3
@Rob_230 I really really enjoyed my time with The Pathless, I liked the change of pace from usual games where atmosphere and puzzles took the front seat. The chase sequences and final boss are really cool.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Nice man awesome that you're having a good time. Flamelurker is so annoying!!! I still have to defeat him too. I do like how the game isn't linear and you can choose which worlds you wanna go to.
With all these delays I've been diving deep into the backlog, I'm playing more games than I have time to xD
FFXIV - Just started this week and I'm enjoying a lot more than I thought I would. Very much so a comfort food game.
Persona 5 - Finally made it to the Royal content which I gotta say I'm really impressed with how they made it all tie together. May be one of the best expansion pieces I've seen.
Outriders - I like this game for what it is. If FFXIV is comfort food, Outriders is junk food the moment to moment gameplay and modding is fun. Overall pretty warm on it.
MGS3 - I'm consistently amazed with how well the MGS games hold up after almost 20 years. The fact that this PS2 game can be so immersive blows me away.
Apex Legends - Trying to hit Master Rank in between single player staleness.
Ori and the Blind Forest - Loving the art style and platforming here.
@Col_McCafferty Man it was so cool to learn about project Zero Dawn and the truth about Aloy's "mother" . I really didn't expect that depth. Also Frozen Wilds is a really good DLC, the new weapons are really cool and the new enemies are aggressive
@Fyz306903 15 years since PS3 released, so as a consumer my mind wonders if PS4/PS5 will be treated the same 15 years into their life. If that's the case I'll just start building my steam library.
This situation and others are very frustrating, but the most frustrating part is Sony's silence. They're not doing a good job rn, and it's hurting my 20 year love for them.
Too say that Persona 5 Royal has dominated my 2021 gaming would be an understatement, but I am loving every minute! Gonna swap between this and Apex Legends for when it gets stale.
@Col_McCafferty Man I gotta say Rockbreakers are some of the most intense enemies I've faced in open world games. And they have the nerve to make you fight two?!
@beebs720 I'd say give it a try to see if it appeals to you, but it did not for me. I really tried to like FF15, I wanted to love it. Maybe it's because I played 7 Remake and then tried to go back and play it. The combat just didn't engage me and I wasn't a fan of the whole crafting/hunting/camping system. Some of the cutscenes are really nice but the story didn't captivate me.
@Col_McCafferty I've very recently become a fan of HZD, completed it back in January and now I'm like a fiend for Forbidden West. Have you played any other exclusives?
@RaZieLDaNtE What's up man I recently just started Nioh 2 Remastered and man it looks stunning. I love how deep the combat and progression is, and also how they make you feel empowered through the multitude of options. Not to mention how it's designed for you to be smartly aggressive thru Ki pulse. after some deep thought, I think I like it better than the souls series

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 367
@RaZieLDaNtE What's up man I recently just started Nioh 2 Remastered and man it looks stunning. I love how deep the combat and progression is, and also how they make you feel empowered through the multitude of options. Not to mention how it's designed for you to be smartly aggressive thru Ki pulse. after some deep thought, I think I like it better than the souls series
