"One day, somebody's gonna have to make a stand. One day, somebody's gonna have to say, "Enough!"

Now make the story of the game good

After the refreshing Bloodborne run I am going to play some casual and easier games

Finally I will play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle!!! My first Switch 2 game!

On the side I will have I Have NO Mouth and I Must Scream + retro Super Castlevania IV!

Have amazing weekend people!!!

@AgentCooper It was amazing Thanks! 9 days on the beach really makes you hungry for gaming

You don't have a PC/Laptop to play HL1?

I am starting my second ever run of Bloodborne (on PS5), this time I will aim to complete most of the content as I have never played the DLC. I just passed Father Gascoigne and went deeper in Yharnam. It will be fun

I am also playing Half-Life on the Steam Deck and yesterday I got the Disney Afternoon Collection so I will play that as well.

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@AgentCooper I am in Greece for a nice sea vacation with wife and other family members

Have some good gaming for me

@Czar_Khastik Requiem is really a masterpiece!

As for the remakes RE2R is also a masterpiece for me. I am in the minority to say that it is way better than the original!

RE3R is barely ok for 1 run. The original is so much better. RE3R is rushed and it feels like below average DLC quality.

RE4R is also another masterpiece so you can't go wrong with that!

After the brutal/frustrating Dark Souls 3 run I will have a more relaxed weekend with Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era

And on the side I will play some Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 to remember the gool old days at the arcades

And if time permits some Link Between Worlds and Ion Fury!

Have a great gaming weekend!

@GirlVersusGame Yes, it was a bootleg

Now I am so happy to play it on original hardware. It is still one of the best platformers on the system!

@Th3solution I think it is smoother. Also keep in mind that I do not install updates on most games just to see how they run just from the installation.

For now DS1, DS2 and DS3 are smooth experiences, but I have noticed textures changing from low to high when I get near.

@THEBrew I think so but I am not a big on performance. I enjoyed them on PS4 and now I am enjoying them on PS5

They will get 0 support from me. I don't even buy such physical editions on heavy discount.

After an exquisite run of Dark Souls 2 I moved to Dark Souls 3. I am already on my path to the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley! It is my second run of the game but this time on the PS5. My weapon of choice is the Hollowslayer Greatsword

On the side I will play some Metro 2033 and Darkwing Duck on the NES!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

If you get the same experience from watching the whole game's playthrough on YouTube as actually buying it and "playing" it, what does that say about the "game"?

After the devastating finish of AC Valhalla I moved to a game I have played before but it is LESS stressful ... Dark Souls 2

2 days in and I am already at Drangleic Castle

Still playing Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era and loving it!

And to scratch that ARPG itch I will be playing Titan Quest!

Have a nice gaming weekend everyone!

If you get the same experience from watching the whole game as a playthrough on YouTube as actually buying it and "playing" it, what does that say about the "game"?

How can one be AI AND Artist? I thought that artists have talents in drawing for example as it is quite lengthy process and that is why they use AI.

Where is the talent in writing prompts and then the AI is generating images from other images?

The best thing about it is that you can watch a playthrough online and it will be the same experience as if you bought the game.

The devs care about your finances and that is awesome!

@RoomWithaMoose I too agree to an extent with you.

The waste argument however is also personal responsibility. Some places are cleaner than others and only the people are to blame.

But being bothered by people insulting your game, book, hobby or movie is just wrong. That is why I said that we need thicker skin. People are offended by anything nowadays and it is a big problem at least in my view.

It is like me getting angry and start spitting and foaming because someone start insulting Castlevania (which is the best thing ever created in video games BTW! )

If people start praising their hobbies and interests instead of arguing with others who do not like them, we will create a better threads, comment sections or forums.

But I see more users here using the same old buzzwords to hurl insults in a general direction just to show some kind of "moral superiority" which is really sad.

@RoomWithaMoose I get that but if people want to enjoy something they can just do that.

The internet is platform to all kinds of people. Most of them are negative because people are negative by nature.

If someone is feeling bad because they read words online maybe the problem lies in the person's mind. Having thicker skin is good and more people should try to toughen up.

I am can bring another analogy, spoilers. People cry that they see spoilers online but refuse to stop using channels that can bring up spoilers.

So we try to stop the spoilers (which is impossible just like creating a positive bubble) or we learn how to avoid them and stop crying?

@get2sammyb Would you prefer algorithms that favor toxic positivity? You know the ones that create bubbles of positivity that has nothing to do with reality.

Maybe negativity is favored because it is our reality and everyone is negative about something all the time?

@TheArt Yes I do and it is awesome. After I finish a game I move all of the captures to an external drive as it is space consuming like you said.

@TheArt Well maybe then it is a cowboy simulator. I have seen some pretty unreal attention to details in this game.

Why is there no PS5 release we will never know Maybe because they are busy with GTA6

@TheArt At the end it really is meaningless. I just finished the main story and I did not even get a proper ending. I have to do CHORES in order to get the full story? Nope, the game ended with the last main quest ... now I will move on to more enjoyable games.

On the other hand I am struggling with RDR2 because of the terrible controls. I have to power through it I guess.

I am really struggling with Assassin's Creed Valhalla ... 35 hours in and I am still on the main story. I just want it to stop but I think I am nearing the end. I have never seen a game so bloated. At this point I just want to see the credits ... Origins and Odyssey were so damn enjoyable. This is too much! At the end I will probably be generous and give it 5/10!

Now on the more enjoyable things to play! Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era (early access) It is a good game. Not better than HoMM 3 as some of the units in the factions are too generic for me, but still it is fun! And Early access means it will change according to the feedback!

And last but not least some Heretic + Hexen! Really love those games!!!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@Th3solution haha I am on a little road trip with my wife so I am more than good!

Happy gaming!

@belmont There is no play from disc since the PS4. We have to install to the console drive but it is ok because a playable build of the game NO matter how buggy is on the disc. This is the bare minimum I expect from those guys.

Also I do not know if you wait for the game to install or start playing it when you see the "... is now playable" and you play it while it still installs data on the console which is very slow!

I do not care about the physical preservation because I know that we will have it in the future by emulation or other means. I want a playable build of the game on the physical media. This is what is worth my money.

@tangyzesty Except that it is somehow a new thing. Most games have playable build on the disc.

Currently Ubisoft and Microsoft are doing this on purpose. The other offenders are Crimson Desert, Hogwarts Legacy and Painkiller.

This looks good. Vampire games always interest me

Unfortunately, no. I really like how it looks but the PS5 physical edition is making it impossible. I will play the original instead

@Questionable_Duck I did not know that. Thanks! But the screenshots not being recorded is my big issue.

Now I wonder how to get a Series controller just to test it.

@Questionable_Duck I have a 360 and a Xbox One X but I only play the 360 nowadays.

The One X is so disappointing, especially after some firmware update they screwed up the screenshot taking feature.

It was already the most uncomfortable of all other consoles requiring a combination of actions unlike the dedicated button approach BUT now it does not take every screenshot I try to take. If I use it 5 times I get 2-3 screenshots.

Microsoft just can't be trusted to make anything good anymore on the console market.

And I can't forgive the Internet required to setup the console ...

Steam Deck > Xbox One + Series X

It has been a long time since SOMETHING went well for Ubisoft.

I noticed how DEEPLY consumers are worried about the finances of multibillion companies.

They clearly need ALL those DRM checks to even stay in business, poor little things!

UPDATE: Out of completely irrational fear I took out my disconnected PS4 Pro that was not turned on in more than 3 years and played some of my physical games ... how silly

@PercyChuggs But in this case the consumers were buying bread that could never get bad, only the new bread is getting bad in 30 days.

Should the baker make a disclaimer when you buy his new bread that you have to manage it in order to stay fresh?

@Sonofken I am sorry but I am trying to understand that "Euro PC" thing.

1. I really loathe Xbox as they are what is wrong with console gaming since the Xbox One. Their last good product was the Xbox 360 and to be more accurate their last iteration of it that fixed the overheating problems.

2. Euro PC trash can? Care to explain? I have a semi gaming laptop but I mainly game on my PS5, Steam Deck and Switch with the occasional retro gaming.

@Almost_Ghostly how mature... thanks!

Anyway, have a good gaming weekend

@Almost_Ghostly the only bug here is that Sony made it visible. This was clearly something that was being developed. I mean you can see it in the UI in the article.

And you didn't use a single "lolololo" or "gtfo"! I am proud of you!

@Almost_Ghostly why do I have to repeat myself again and again. It is all about anti-consumer practices. I do not need to be affected to be against something.

And your type of communication is really childish "lololo gtfo" ... really?

@Slayer25c My games are ok yes, because I only buy physical on consoles with very few exceptions.

@Almost_Ghostly It works now right? Are you telling me this exploit was available up until now for ALL these years and Sony did nothing?

For me it is alarming that there are many gamers who are ready to give them a pass for that. I've read "If you do not have internet to renew your licence you have bigger problems".

I mean we all know it is NOT about Internet outage ... it is about anti-consumer practices and total control over the individual's purchases.

That is why I am 100% against forced server permissions to access the software you bought.

@DrVenture69 I first post in NintendoLife and then here. They made it so that both articles are posted together

Can't win them all

This weekend I am playing Bioshock Infinite (absolutely 10/10 game!) and I am trying something new, Steelrising!
I am taking a little break from Diablo 2!

On the side I will have GTA San Andreas! I just want to drive on the streets and wander around.

Happy gaming everyone!!!

EDIT:
I really hope this is NOT true!

I will definitely pirate the game down the line Ubisoft really doubled down on the whole pirate experience

Those idiots just do not want to make a proper physical edition and release crap after crap ... the game is 65GB ... put the build on the damn disc or do not make one at all ... to be honest I would've liked it if they were honest and just release it digital only.

@Northern_munkey Use the BBCode, it is better

@JamieO It is awesome indeed!

Also on 24th LRG will put up for pre-order Bloodstained Ritual of the Night without the additional DRM!

Just a heads up!

@Northern_munkey I use imgbb.com
Just make an account there and upload the images in your album. From there you can generate the embed code easily with customizable sizes

I have started a new fresh run of Diablo 2 Reign of the Warlock on the Steam Deck. Currently I only have a Sorceress that I rushed to Act 3 in Hell to farm LK for High Runes.

I will finally play and enjoy "I have no Mouth, and I must Scream" on a console Never finished the game but it is dark and amazing! All Point-And-Click adventure fans must play this!!!

Third, enjoy the chaos of Wolfenstein II on the Switch FULLY on the cartridge I wish they could do this to the Bioshock collection

Happy gaming everyone!!!

I decided to give Assassin's Creed Valhalla another try and I am 4 hours into a fresh start. My problem is that it feels really slow compared to Origins and Odyssey. The scenery is beautiful but the map is absolutely disgusting and bland. Origins and Odyssey both have beautiful maps that I love to look at.

On the Switch I will play the first Soul Reaver

And I wanted to remember the times when Pokemon was actually good and crafted with care so I am firing up an old save of Pokemon Black. Damn ... Violet and Scarlet ... what garbage games those are
I HOPE that Winds and Waves bring the series back!!!

Happy gaming everyone!!!
