@JamieO Tell me about it And this year I completed my Castlevania physical collection The only physical Castlevania I do not have is Judgement but that is understandable
Just before the big vacation I will treat myself with Quake, Soul Reaver 1 and Octopath Traveler 0.
Have a nice gaming weekend and we will probably "see" each other in 2026. Happy holidays people!!!
The games I have beaten this year (First time means I have never beaten the game before):
1 - The Witcher 3 (PS5) - First time
2 - Resident Evil 2 Original (N64) All 4 scenarios - First time
3 - DUSK (Switch)
4 - Castlevania Curse of Darkness (Steam Deck) - First time
5 - Castlevania Lament of Innocence (Steam Deck) - First time
6 - Castlevania 64 (Steam Deck) - First time
7 - Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse (Switch) - First time
8 - Castlevania Bloodlines (Switch) - First time
9 - Resident Evil 1 HD (PS5)
10 - Castlevania The Adventure (Switch) - First time
11 - Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge (Switch) - First time
12 - Resident Evil 2 Remake VR (Meta Quest 3) - First time
13 - Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (PS5)

15 - Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (PS5)
16 - Elden Ring (PS5)
17 - Diablo 3 Eternal Collection (Switch)
18 - Chronicles of the Wolf (Switch) - First time
19 - Sanitarium (Steam Deck)
20 - Serious Sam The First Encounter (Switch)
21 - Diablo 2 Resurrected (Switch)
22 - Marvel's Spider-Man (PS5)
23 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (PS5)
24 - Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales (PS5)
25 - Wolfenstein The Old Blood (PS5)
26 - Wolfenstein The New Order (PS5)
27 - Wolfenstein II The New Colossus (PS5)
28 - Fallout 3 (Steam Deck)
29 - DooM 3 (Switch)
30 - DooM (2016) (Switch)
31 - DooM Eternal (Switch)
32 - Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PS5)
33 - Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (Switch)
34 - Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (Switch)
35 - Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Switch)
While waiting for my Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) to arrive next week I will be playing Project Warlock as it is really fun DooM style retro shooter with progression elements
On the side I will start The Last of Us Part I and play few skirmish matches in StarCraft 64.
@GirlVersusGame Yes those are steelbooks Castlevania Requiem (PS4) Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 Ultima Edition (PS5) The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Switch)
I have Boltgun but like most of my games it is in the backlog
After DooM (2016) next is DooM Eternal to be 100%ed
On the side I will have God of War and Ocarina of Time 3D.
And recently I got a really nostalgic game for me, that many people really hate. Spider-Man Return of the Sinister Six. I loved beating that game when I was a kid
I want everything that is made with AI help to have a banner like the cigarette boxes. That way the public will choose to support it or not BUT they must be aware that it was used.
Sacred 2 Remaster shipment was delayed so ... It is shooter weekend! After DooM 3 last week I am continuing with DooM 2016. I am aiming for 100%
On the side I have Wolfenstein Youngblood (even if I heard that it is a bad game) and Painkiller (the original, the good one, not that crap they released recently) on the Steam Deck!
Continuing with DooM 3 (because I rushed to finish Fallout 3 on the Steam Deck)! In the meantime I will play little Tormented Souls and God of War 1. I have to do it quickly because Sacred 2 Remaster is coming next week and it will CONSUME me!!!
I do not care about this, because the physical gaming market is polluting so little compared to other industries that it is not even close.
This guilt trip is not going to work
Also does this study considers the production of one game is up to a certain point and then it stops printing, while the digital game needs to be hosted/being on a server for way longer time.
@Rich33 But Resident Evil 2 Remake did not feel like a DLC. It was almost a perfect game. The A/B scenarios mistake was not such a big disaster. The game shined on its own.
RE3R on its own is just disappointing.
You can clearly see how rushed they were to release it. For me it is a standalone DLC
The only thing I find AI remotely useful at is making google searches BUT event then I find that it skips so much information.
I hope that AI becomes really expensive and companies take losses instead of profits.
I would LOVE to see a law that is passed worldwide that makes ANYTHING that is done with AI's help to have a disclaimer like cigarette boxes. That way people will know what to boycott and the companies will take even bigger losses.
This weekend I am playing Wolfenstein II The New Colossus. I just arrived in New Orleans
On the side I have Vigil The Longest Night and Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era (DEMO) on the Steam Deck. It is a really nice game for any HoMM fan!
The game already released in digital form and people bought it, why release a special physical version and NOT put ALL of it on the discs? It does not make any sense!
This is 100% for collectors and physical only gamers.
The Diablo 2 and 3 craze hit me again In Diablo 2 I have beaten Hell difficulty with the Sorceress, Paladin, Necromancer, Druid and Barbarian. Now I am working on my Amazon.
In Diablo 3 I got my Crusader and Barbarian to level 70 and I will be starting a Necromancer!
On the side I will play Silent Hill 2 and Skyrim VR!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 611
With the arrival of the Castlevania Dominus Collection for the Switch I am once again deep in the trilogy!
This week I already 100%ed Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and now I am on Portrait of Ruin.
No matter how many times I play those game they never get old to me
And on the side if time permits (I REALLY doubt that) I will play Space Marine 2 and Shadowgate Classic
Happy gaming everyone!!!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 609
I am playing Symphony of the Night ... again. It never gets old! Masterpiece!
And something new for me, Space Marine 2, although I have never played 1 or any Warhammer game before. The game looks amazing and filled with lore!
On the side I will play Skyward Sword
Happy gaming!
Re: Five Years of PS5 - How Well Do You Know Sony's Console?
@GirlVersusGame 1 or 2
Re: Five Years of PS5 - How Well Do You Know Sony's Console?
5/15
I guess I do not know the PS5 history that well.
Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
It is a good console but it is because I have the original Phat Model. You know the one with the built in drive
Also because of the "5 on the five" it sounds like:

Re: Ubisoft Is All In on Generative AI, Says It's as Big a Leap in Tech as the 'Shift to 3D'
This is good news! That means the sales of HUMAN made games will rise!
I just want them to be forced to put a disclaimer that they use generative AI in their products!
Re: Hellraiser PS5's Gameplay Trailer Is So Grisly We Can't Embed It Here
Watched the trailer on their website and this looks freaking terrifying ... amazing! This is how Hellraiser should look!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
@JamieO I got all of the DooM games except for DooM The Dark Ages and I think you know why
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
@DrVenture69 And amazing atmosphere. "The Town" from the original and "The Orphanage" from the expansion Battle out of Hell are just perfect!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
@KingPev I play GOG games on my Steam Deck. And Painkiller needs a Launch Option in its Properties menu:
"PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 %command%"
That way it will be in full screen mode
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
@KingPev It is a flashy "modern" shooter with zero identity.
And let's not forget that if you buy the physical version, you cant even play it without online authenticating it first.
The old one (Painkiller Black Edition) + Overdose are peak!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607

Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Surpass 3.3 Million Units, Crush Boycott Nonsense
This is like the Hogwarts Legacy boycott
A minority can't do a boycott. And that extends to everything not just games.
Also the person who posted the offensive stuff is fired so justice is done
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606
Continuing with DooM 3 (because I rushed to finish Fallout 3 on the Steam Deck)!
In the meantime I will play little Tormented Souls and God of War 1.
I have to do it quickly because Sacred 2 Remaster is coming next week and it will CONSUME me!!!
Re: Blizzard Once Again Shuts Down World of Warcraft Console Talk
Classic on consoles will be epic! Especially with their new invention, the One Button Rotation.
Re: Study Claims Physical PS5 Games Are 100 Times Worse for the Planet Than Digital Downloads
@TechaNinja Exactly! When crap like this stops THEN we can talk how "harmful" physical games are to the environment ...

Re: Marvel 'Proud' to Collaborate with Spider-Man, Wolverine Maker for 'Many Years to Come'
@danzoEX Do you also think that Batman games should also be somewhere else and NOT in Gotham?
Spider-Man can't work without New York. But they can expand it by adding more. Like they expanded outside of Manhattan.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605
@Czar_Khastik By 1 second! Congratulations!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605
For me DooM 3, I started it again to make a nice screenshot journey
Then Castlevania Symphony of the Night along with Super Castlevania IV!
And I will spare little time in Bram Stoker's Dracula on the Mega Drive!
Re: Poll: Do You Play Horror Games Around Halloween?
I play horror games all year.
But in October I love that horror games are the center of it all

Re: 'Even I Can't Tell the Difference': Shuhei Yoshida Thinks PS6 Needs Something Other Than Just More Power
@Czar_Khastik Unfortunately that needs competent developers.
Currently in the industry there is severe lack of such devs. Their main goal is "Minimum effort for maximum profit".
Re: Just 1.3GB of PS5 Data Is on The Outer Worlds 2 Physical Disc
@Fatewalker @kmtrain83
I also have exceptions but MS and Ubisoft (for the most part like 90%) are about to get plundered!
Re: Just 1.3GB of PS5 Data Is on The Outer Worlds 2 Physical Disc
Microsoft are doing this on purpose just to DEvalue the physical releases.
I have them on my "pirate their games" list now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
Last week I went through Miles Morales (my LEAST favorite of the new Spider-Man games).
This weekend I started Wolfenstein The Old Blood, but this time I am doing my screenshot journey
On the side I will have Little Nightmares III on the Switch 1.
Castlevania III Dracula's Curse on the NES and Pokemon Emerald for nostalgia injections
Have a great gaming weekend everyone!!!
Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?
It depends if they Sony ditch the physical drive at launch.
Re: Complete Your Physical Copy of Ghost of Yotei with a Fan-Made Manual
@Frmknst Actually you are in the minority of people who sell their physical games after finishing them.
Yep, people who buy almost exclusively physical games do not sell their games ever.
Re: Confirmed: Oblivion Remastered's PS5 Physical Edition Requires 'Additional Download' to Actually Play
Worthless release. They do not deserve my money.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 602
This weekend I am returning to a playthrough of Blasphemous 2. Already completed it on the Switch but I am in the 1st part on PS5.
I will play some DooM on the Switch and for nostalgia play some Resident Evil 3 Nemesis
And I will continue to add to my sculpture of the Predator!
Have a nice weekend!!!
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Physical PS5 Release Will Include the 'Base Game on Disc'
Only 19GB is on the stupid disc.
https://x.com/Chris_TV_Live/status/1975928256651297042
The gaming family of Microsoft is really full of idiots.

This is 100% for collectors and physical only gamers.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601
@AhmadSumadi they don't make such hidden gems anymore
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601
This week I 100%ed Spider-Man 2 and it was a fun ride!
Now I am starting Kingdoms of Amalur that I have not played for a long time!
I will continue my playthrough of Resident Evil Village and enjoy the hidden brilliance of Faxanadu!
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Anticipated Physical PS5 Release Will Require the Internet
There is no reason for this "physical" edition to exist.
I really hope MS take more and more losses on their terrible gaming decisions
Re: Bethesda Finally Announces Oblivion Remastered Physical Edition Is Real
https://x.com/Wario64/status/1972771080311021840/photo/2
Here you can see the text Physical base game included.
Maybe only the base game is ON the disc, and you have to download the 2 expansions?
Either way it does not look good.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
@Czar_Khastik Come on! Where were you last week when I was on vacation!? Golden opportunity missed!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
This week I have finished Marvel's Spider-Man again So now I have started Spider-Man 2 and this time I will do ALL content!
And unfortunately, Silksong does not have a physical release yet, so I will be playing Hollow Knight and I will aim for the true ending this time!
Happy gaming, everyone!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599
@Th3solution haha do not worry I am just fine. This weekend me and my wife are on SPA retreat
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
After getting every class in Diablo 2 trough the Hell difficulty I can finally start play some other games
I will continue my journey in Echoes of Wisdom!
I will start a new playthrough of God of War (2018) and wander in Skyrim VR!
Happy weekend people!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
The Diablo 2 and 3 craze hit me again
In Diablo 2 I have beaten Hell difficulty with the Sorceress, Paladin, Necromancer, Druid and Barbarian. Now I am working on my Amazon.
In Diablo 3 I got my Crusader and Barbarian to level 70 and I will be starting a Necromancer!
On the side I will play Silent Hill 2 and Skyrim VR!
Happy gaming everyone!!!
