I have started Claire A run in Resident Evil 2 N64 ... finally! On my way to meet with chief Irons and Sherry. It is a JOY to play this on the N64. The controls are so comfortable!
Also exited to start Silent Hill 2 Remake! I have never finished a Silent Hill game, so I am starting tomorrow and continuing through the week
And on the side some Titan Quest on the Switch, another fantastic game!
Castlevania Curse of Darkness is on standby for the next week
Continuing with The Witcher 3 Currently, I am leaving Ciri's trail from the Skellige Isles and going back to Velen for the ugly Uma. Enjoying the journey but there is more talking than fighting
I have started Castlevania Curse of Darkness on my Steam Deck as it is my preferred way to play it because the default camera controls on the PS2 is TERRIBLE for this game. I have never finished it because of that so I am really enjoying it now! It is a shame that a Castlevania fanatic like me never finished the game! Next on the list will be Lament of Innocence but I have to find it first.
And on the Switch, I am starting Project Warlock again. This time I am making my "screenshot journeys" with this title (as with every other game) even ordered an external HDD to keep my archive safe
This weekend I am pulling the trigger on The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt I have previously played it for like an hour. Now I will be more committed!
Also playing some Resident Evil Deadly Silence (after beating RE2 Remake yet again ) and some Shadowgate but without a guide to see how many game over screens I can get
The problem is that there is so much toxic positivity. People are even afraid to say they dislike something without being called bigot, misogynistic etc.
Also, there is no gameplay, just a bunch of product positioning.
This weekend I will continue with Half-Life Alyx. It will be an understatement to say this is the BEST gaming experience in VR. I am only on Chapter 4 and can't wait to see what happens next!
In the meantime, I will blast some baddies in Quake I Do some puzzle in Layers of Fear And bring back some memories with WarCraft II
@Northern_munkey But if they poured the money to hire more devs to compensate for the idiotic deadlines the game could be optimized, and gamers will be happy.
The hardware is less of a bottleneck now, the real problems are horror development cycles.
@Lavishturtle I do not understand the "appeal to modern audiences" because the "modern audiences" are just too small of a number to make a profit. After all it is all about making a profit Or is it about the Joker's way of sending a message?
I know the big companies have money to burn but it will eventually come to an end, we see many studios closing because of such financial "maneuvers".
This weekend will be the start of my fight against laziness! I am cleaning up my project and starting to actively make additions to my game Castletoria!
In the meantime, I will casually continue with Echoes of Wisdom and the Half-Life port on the PS2
@Northern_munkey Actually, on the top of my head the only games that I know of this crap are Hogwarts Legacy (ofc) and the latest Ubicrap titles - Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar, The 2 Jedi games and possibly Assassin's Creed Shadows. We are not counting games that require constant online connection like Diablo 4. (those are not even games, those are services )
I am trying to remember of other games that do not have the playable base game on the discs for PS5 (and couple of PS4) but that is it.
Isn't that hardly 6 titles and 1 of them is not even released?
So physical games are still in an "ok" state. That is why I am so frustrated at such releases.
@Moj500 Then just release the game as a digital only title if you can't provide a playable physical copy. @Czar_Khastik is right, this just an expensive coaster.
UNFORTUNATELY the delivery of Echoes of Wisdom is late, and I will get it probably on Monday I wanted it for tomorrow as it is the second half of my birthday present from my wife, the first one being the Meta Quest 3 :
Anyway, this weekend I will juggle between Resident Evil 2 Remake VR and Half-Life 2 VR. Those experiences are fantastic! And I love playing them in little bites! Instead of worrying about motion sickness, now I worry about Mr. X chasing me
I will also try Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon as I saw that it is hilarious!
And last but not least, The Last Faith A good mix of Blasphemous and Bloodborne

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 564
@Hurblyburbly mmm ps4 is around only 50-60 games and ps5 is only 15 I think.
I have to count them too, later
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 564
This weekend I will focus on DUSK for the Switch. It is an amazing retro style fast paced shooter with some atmospheric levels
My second focus is Resident Evil 2 Remake in VR. I am in the sewers section and looking forward to making it to the lab ... I hope
And lastly, if time permits, some Blasphemous 2 on the PS5 and Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles
Also, I am REALLY excited that my Switch physical collection will be playable on the Switch 2
Happy gaming everyone!!!

Re: 10+ Hour DLC Packs Grow Assassin's Creed Shadows After Launch
What launch?
You need a new tag for such "news" for example "fiction" or "dreaming".

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 561
This weekend continuing with The Witcher 3. I have a long road ahead of me! Met a witch and on the trail of some elven mage.
I got Clock Tower Rewind so I will play some of that
And if time permits some Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters Edition 2006 and Resident Evil 3 Nemesis!
Happy gaming and see you in the new year!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 560
@nomither6 I have to charge it on the photo it looks purple for some reason
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 560
@Ravix Thanks! I am still in the tutorial space so to say. Just about to kill the Griffin.
I know what you mean by getting used to as the menus and Geralds movement are clunky

Re: Naughty Dog Turns Off Intergalactic PS5 Trailer's Comments As Discourse Turns Nasty
For me the character looks unappealing.
The problem is that there is so much toxic positivity. People are even afraid to say they dislike something without being called bigot, misogynistic etc.
Also, there is no gameplay, just a bunch of product positioning.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 559
This weekend I will continue my playthrough of The Minish Cap that I started so long ago
And I will start a fresh run of Kingdoms of Amalur.
I will get some quick nostalgia shots of Faxanadu.
And finally replay again Resident Evil 2. I do not know what is making me replay this game so much ... oh that's right it is so damn GOOD!!!
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 558
@RaZieLDaNtE Thank you! I have played the Remake on the PS4 now on the PS5
I doubt that there will be much difference but still an excuse to play a great game again
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 558
This weekend I will juggle between some games I don't have much progress in Ocarina of Time 3D and Castlevania 64.
And in the meantime, I will play Circle of the Moon and Resident Evil 4 Remake
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Ubisoft FPS XDefiant Shutting Down, Not Accepting New Players
Ubisoft is just a training company. You get in, get some experience and then get the hell out of there.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS1 Memories?
My very first PS1 memories were:
1. Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters
2. Diablo
3. Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Re: Best PS1 Games
Castlevania SotN is as close to perfection as any game could ever come
Re: PlayStation Thanks the Fans with Emotional 30th Anniversary Montage
I ... wanted to see a split second of Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the PS1 "It's about Legacy"
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 557
This weekend will be quite relaxing
I will be playing some Metal Slug (just trying to pass some levels).
Some Castlevania GBA games from the CV Advance collection.
And for handheld glory I have chosen Metroid Fusion and Pokemon Moon!
Have a nice and relaxing gaming weekend
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 556
This weekend I will continue with Half-Life Alyx. It will be an understatement to say this is the BEST gaming experience in VR. I am only on Chapter 4 and can't wait to see what happens next!
In the meantime, I will blast some baddies in Quake I Do some puzzle in Layers of Fear And bring back some memories with WarCraft II
Have a nice gaming weekend people!!!
Re: Konami Quiet as PS5 Pro Players Report Issues with Silent Hill 2
@Northern_munkey damn! Sorry sometimes I Really can't pick up sarcasm! It's 50/50 I guess
Re: Konami Quiet as PS5 Pro Players Report Issues with Silent Hill 2
@Northern_munkey But if they poured the money to hire more devs to compensate for the idiotic deadlines the game could be optimized, and gamers will be happy.
The hardware is less of a bottleneck now, the real problems are horror development cycles.
Re: Konami Quiet as PS5 Pro Players Report Issues with Silent Hill 2
I have a feeling that Sony forced the hardware division to release something just to give them a spotlight for the press
Instead of that they should've poured the money for the PRO in the gaming studios they own.
Re: The Game Awards Confirms DLC, Remasters Can Win Game of the Year Days Prior to Nominations Reveal
Well Shadow of the Erdtree is better than most full-fledged games released this year, so I hope it wins
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 555
This weekend will be awesome!
I am playing WarCraft III Reforged with the new 2.0 update!
And on the consoles side Red Dead Redemption, TMNT and Painkiller!!!
Have a nice weekend people!
Re: Hands On: PS5 Pro Injects More Magic into Hogwarts Legacy
@LogicStrikesAgain Thanks I will try to not over post it, and someone make a meme about it
PS: I made the same one when NL was milking the OLED Switch.

@Blofse
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 554
This weekend I will focus on Terraria (Switch) and Resident Evil 2 Claire A/Leon B (N64)
And for more casual play Baldur's Gate 3 and Pokemon FireRed!
And it is me and my wife 17th anniversary so we will also celebrate!
Have a nice gaming weekend
Re: Assassin's Creed Boss Says Series Is Inherently Diverse, Just Like History

Re: Assassin's Creed Boss Says Series Is Inherently Diverse, Just Like History
@LikelySatan Okay, they are known for less of that. Especially the ones I played.
I just wonder what was so "inappropriate" about my comment ...
I hope this is not the IGN overlords pulling the strings.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 553
This weekend I have decided to be ALL about Castlevania
There are many unbeaten CLASSICvanias by me so I will focus on that and if things get too hard, I will relax with the metroidvanias a little
Happy gaming weekend everyone!!!
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Comes Out Swinging, Already EA's Biggest Single Player Game on Steam
@soyabean135876 "It's almost as if they were just an angry loud minority making a lot of noise about it on social media and comments sections."
Did you really had to formulate it like that when there is a really angry and even smaller minority every time you "misgender" someone?
The argument does not go just one way.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 552
@NEStalgia Haha
Forever physical the rest is just a bonus VR is a bonus
PS: Ohh and GOG ofc!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 552
@Perturbator Yep, I am trying the vanilla experience now and I will start modding. But I have to use a guide FRIK is a must!
Other than that, I will try to avoid mods that add greenery and stuff like that to Fallout 4. I prefer the wasteland vibes!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 552
This weekend I will play around in Fallout 4 VR Really excited about that!
And for some traditional gaming I will enjoy Divinity Original Sin 2 and GRIME
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 551
This weekend will be the start of my fight against laziness! I am cleaning up my project and starting to actively make additions to my game Castletoria!
In the meantime, I will casually continue with Echoes of Wisdom and the Half-Life port on the PS2
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Mini Review: Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred (PS5) - Hard to Hate This Meaty Expansion
The only good thing left about Blizzard are the cinematics and their older games.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content
@Flaming_Kaiser Sure it is bad. There are some game that are optimized so badly but still you have something functional in hand
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content
@Northern_munkey Actually, on the top of my head the only games that I know of this crap are Hogwarts Legacy (ofc) and the latest Ubicrap titles - Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar, The 2 Jedi games and possibly Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content
@Moj500 Ahh so it is a win to release a physical edition that does not contain the game in a playable state?
A friendly advice for you, next time instead of trying to hurl petty insults, THINK before writing something. You will benefit from it
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content
@Moj500 Then just release the game as a digital only title if you can't provide a playable physical copy. @Czar_Khastik is right, this just an expensive coaster.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content
@McTwist Yes, the physical edition for PS4 AND PS5 are useless right now.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content
I hope they make a proper physical edition where at least the base game is on the disc ... not just the intro ...
I really want to play the game and that is the only thing stopping me from buying it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 550
So, this spooky weekend I will start with Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
I will play some Resident Evil 4 Remake and also continue my playthrough of Echoes of Wisdom!
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 549
This weekend the main thing is The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom! It is fantastic!!!
I am also getting addicted to Majesty 2 again and I managed to run it on the Steam Deck!
And I still did not finish Half-Life 2 and Resident Evil 2 on the VR.
In HL2 I am about to escape Nova Prospect and in RE2 I am in the sewers with Leon
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Silent Hill 2 (PS5) - The Horror Great Remains So in This Excellent Remake
Definitely getting it and I am ashamed to say that I have never finished a single Silent Hill game (mostly played 1 and 4 for about an hour)
Time to change that!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 548
UNFORTUNATELY the delivery of Echoes of Wisdom is late, and I will get it probably on Monday I wanted it for tomorrow as it is the second half of my birthday present from my wife, the first one being the Meta Quest 3 :

Re: Fans Appear to Be Coming Around to PS5 Pro
At this price and the missing parts, it is not worth it.
But if people have money to burn it is their decision
Also, a reminder that my negativity will not die down
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
Not a chance!
IF I had the money, they should've put an ALREADY PAIRED disc drive in it in order to make it viable.
