TraCuz-

@RaZieLDaNtE Not gonna lie I thought Rockbreakers were frustrating, but the enemies in Frozen Wilds almost made me break my controller xD

@Link41x Fruit ninja is a mobile game classic, it was there at the dawn with angry birds and cut the rope

@Shigurui I watched that a few months back, was surely worth the watch. You should look up Mystic Playstation Documentaries on Youtube if you enjoyed that.

Just finished up the 5th Palace in Persona 5 Royal, the story is really starting to get juicy. Can't wait to see where it all ends up. I'm super excited to get to strikers.

Nioh 2 is still fun as always, the combat just keeps getting better and better. Progression just evolves really well.

@b1ackjack You're in for such a great game man, you'll be addicted to the combat and music

@Voltan Kano is really fun, you should give Kabal and Noob a try too

@Miles_Edgeworth I hear the story is good but how is the gameplay? Been trying to figure out if it's for me or not

@Voltan Nice man who do you main? My top 3 are Sonya, Jade, and Mileena

@RBMango You're the goat bro xD

@Goat_FromBOTW That's dope bro

@Ajfennell77 Yeah it's a decent length, you'll likely spend ~40hrs with the main story+side quests. And there's still more challenge battles to do once you beat it if you desire.

Still been chugging thru my backlog so I can feel free when Returnal, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Ratchet & Clank, and FF7R Intergrade release.

Currently the backlog consists of:
-P5 Royal -Nioh 2 -Little Nightmares 1&2 -RE7 -Metal Gear Solid 2-4 -Gravity Rush 2 -Tales of Beseria -Ni no Kuni 2

Definitely got enough to hold me over until June, happy gaming yall!

@Ajfennell77 Yeah it's just flat out amazing, best combat I've ever played. Use your materia often in battle, the more you use them the faster they level up. Keep me updated on your progress in the "What are you playing on PS4" forum

@Ajfennell77 My friend you're for such a good time. It was first experience as well, going in with no expectations made that game a masterpiece for me.

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Ah nice man, so Days Gone is doing it for you? You'd recommend?

@R1spam Bro it's been so long but I remember that DLC being absolute fire

@Joshua2255 Yo man find me in the "What Ps4 games are you playing" forum and let know how you like it!

@DerMeister My first DMC I ever played was 5, and couldn't believe how deep the combat is. I bought the first one on Switch and it surprised me how much its DNA has been there since day 1.

@Link41x Since you're a mobile gamer did those FF7 announcements excite you? Still getting used to the idea of an FF7 BR xD

@Bundersvessel The new weapons are cool in Frozen Wilds!

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Let me know how you like that one, I'm still on the fence. Although the 4k/60fps is enticing.

@Th3solution Dude we got to get on a separate forum and talk about Persona because man xD it's so good. I too just made it to the 5th Palace.

@frankmcma Dude you absolutely have to try that Fuser demo, I'm completely sold on it. I feel like it could be worth the full $60 but I got my hands full with a lot of games rn, so I'm gonna pick it up during holiday season when it's $20-$30. Or maybe it'll be a Playstation Plus game!!

@Joshua2255 Dude you didn't mention you have a PS5! That's even more of a reason to play! It runs at a glorious 4k/60fps

I'm having a bit of a retro weekend myself gonna be playing Metal Gear Solid 2-4 for the first times thru Playstation Now and playing the original FF7 on my switch. Happy gaming!

@Joshua2255 If you'd like a beautiful open world cinematic experience with captivating stories and characters with extremely tight gameplay and free multiplayer component better than most live service games then yeah I'd say it's worth it haha

Day one purchase

The gaming community is incredibly ungrateful, it's only February and you guys are expecting every first party studio to show up and say a new AAA game is coming out tomorrow. Do any of you realize how arduous game development already is? And top that with the fact that development teams are still adjusting to covid?

Your first expectation check should've come when we all learned the event was 30 min, then and there it should've been realized no major announcements were going to be made. All the announcements we all wanna hear about will come late spring/early summer.

Sweet this means so many of my friends that were on the fence get to experience my favorite of all time

@HUMPERDOO Umbilically attached to a console 😂😂. Also RDR2 has a lot of mechanics that would seem so foreign to a non gamer, I think he's gonna keep impressing you 😂

@Mgene15 I know I wasn't asked but you should absolutely play it. They did a good job for newcomers and veterans of the series alike. You'd do yourself a solid by watching a video or two summing up the trilogy and watching the boss fights in 3 (or just play em if that's an option).

I say watching the boss fights in 3 because they were the best set pieces in the series and there's only a handful of moments in 2018 that display them. 2018 is great because it focused on narrative never before seen in the series.

Lemme put it this way, a good friend of mine never player any GoW game. First entry was 2018, now one of his favorites of all time.

@HUMPERDOO Dude the beginning of act 3 is a heart piercer, that game is masterful. Also it's dope your friend just got into gaming!

@Rob_230 Thanks for the tip my man, I'm most interested to find out about Morgana's back story (he's my favorite character)

I would love to see Fuser be a PS Plus game

Currently I'm still playing Persona 5 Royal and Nioh 2 Remastered.

I've played Dark Souls 3, Bloodbourne, and Sekiro and I can confidently say (in my personal opinion) that Nioh is better than them all combat wise. I think each Fromsoft game has better story, but Nioh's gameplay is far more engaging.

After I complete these I'm gonna get a PS Now subscription and play Metal Gear Solid 2-4 super excited since these will be my first playthroughs. Can't wait till May for Returnal, RE:Village, ME: Legendary Edition!

@Rob_230 I'm in love with Person 5 man, I just adore it. I just finished the third Palace which was the first one I beat on the first try.

@Daleaf Speaking from experience Godfall is mediocre man, if you don't mind a shallow story and repetitive mission structure then check it out. The combat is actually decent sometimes but it wasn't enough to keep me captivated. Not to mention that all the different "suits" they have really aren't that different. Just look up Skillup's review. If you want a good coop game with loot, just go play Warhammer Vermintide 2, it's genuinely good.

@Quinsect Man RDR2 is definitely a long game but at least you're at the part of the game where the story really picks up, My favorite mission in the game is the last one in Ch.3. It just really makes you feel like a gang when you're all rolling up to the mansion to save Jack

@Lord_Malice Yo man I'm super excited for you each of those games are 10/10 material. I finished TLOU2 close to release date and that game is a technical masterful emotional rollercoaster. I very recently completed HZD about 2 weeks ago and Aloy's journey is breathtaking. I'm currently 50 hours into my Persona 5 royal playthrough and this game has already cracked my top 5 of all time. Happy gaming!

@THEH4MM My man Ghost is like a completely different game on the PS5, I almost wish I waited to play on this platform instead of PS4

@Playstation I'd have to agree, I don't think it's a terrible game but it's not what I hoped for. The driving is fun but as soon as you go to attack someone whether in car and especially on foot the game feels really clunky. Outside of trying every single Allstar, once you play a few games you kind of see all the game has to offer.

I had a couple times where I started HZD and put it down, where recently I just finished the base game and Frozen Wilds on PS5. After finishing it I can understand why so many people rave about it to this day, and while it didn't crack my top 10 favorites I can confidently say I adore this game.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this impression but HZD really reminded me of my first time playing Skyrim, specifically with the exploration/discovering new enemies and dialogue with NPCs. Personally I think HZD has some of the best combat in the open world genre and perfected the Ubisoft formula, until Ghosts came out.

Improvements I'd like to see, Traversal: With a game where there's so much verticality I was disappointed to see how little options there were to optimize Traversal. There needs to be more ways to climb up and ways to get down, period. What do you guys think is Aloy's ropecaster could make ziplines? Grappling hooks are overused in games and are always welcome, but in recent games Pathfinder is the only one I can think of who makes ziplines. I think Aloy creating ziplines makes sense in her world and doesn't break the game.

Storytelling/World building: Please for the love of God don't depend on having 200 text datapoints, because in my 50 hours of play I didn't care to read even one, although I did listen to the voice recordings and dialogue with NPCs was always A1.

Combat: With a game where you have to strategize enemy weaknesses, please make it an ability to swap weapons from the weapon wheel like RDR2 so I don't have to pause mid combat to switch to a different bow.

I'm sure I'm overlooking other flaws but these were the ones that stuck out to me, what do you think fellow gamers?

@B_Lindz Yeah heartbroken for sure, I'm curious to know what you chose at the end of game. To spare others from spoilers I'll ask did you choose L2 or R2? I chose R2, because I have no honor

@B_Lindz I was very close to the platinum but I forgot to save my data to the cloud so now everything is gone , I was about 5 foxes away and about 10 artifacts. I don't have it in me to do it all again

@Reyren I'm personally just getting started with Ori, I wanted to jump straight into the sequel,
but after playing the demo I decided I should show the first one due diligence. So far it's a great platformer that gives me some of those old Rayman vibes. I highly suggest Akane, there's no way you find a better game for the ultra low price of $5

@Reyren My friend here's a couple switch games to check out

Akane
Celeste
Hades
Both Ori games

And of course Breath of the Wild and Odyssey

The beginning of this year is pretty slow for new releases right? So I'm using this time to tackle my backlog, on the list is: Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon, Persona 5 Royal, DBZ Kakarot, Demon's Souls, Doom Eternal, Jedi Fallen Order, Little Nightmares, with some matches of Apex in between when I get a little singleplayer burnout. Also once Ragnarok has a release date replaying GOW at a glorious 4k/60😍.

Trying to knock all these out before May because that's when it seems this year kicks off for gaming, with all of these out of the way I can fully focus on Returnal, RE:Village, and Mass Effect Legendary edition.

Also I've been looking for some more PS5 friends, add me at TraCuz-, just say you're from push square. Happy gaming!

@SterlingEyes I'd say Shadow of the Colossus my friend, just to take a break from the usual 3rd person action game

@SterlingEyes If you're looking for something open world then I'd have to recommend RDR2 or Ghost of Tsushima. Both have great stories and characters to go with the world

@TheArt You missed a huge piece of lore my friend, Faye left her mark throughout the world for them to follow, realism shouldn't really be a consideration
