Stellar Blade was my personal GotY, love it and the road to Platinum was less grindy than expected. Looking forward their next game, either a sequel or another game in the same style.

just stated the latest season of Diablo 4, that might take two weeks based on my gaming time for that. otherwise Warriors Orochi 4 from time to time.

Well an RPG with classic turn based combat, nice graphics and interesting looking chars, understandable that the demand is high (these days classic turn based combat is mostly a rarity would say). I am also looking very forward for this release.

Both will coexists and many people will buy both ( I have a switch and a ps4 and ps5 and will get a switch2). They will compete on gamers time and imho in casual players attention.
As for comparing graphics… comparing a switch and ps graphics performance is like comparing a ps and gaming pc performance: both comparisons are irrelevant.

I think I will never expect musou games to be “critically acclaimed”, since I believe they are “too niche” for most people. I would say most musou fans will add +1/+2 to most reviews and will be happy with that. You either love musou games (minority of gamers) or you find the gameplay boring (mostly due to repetition)

As a huge musou fan this reads for me as a 9/10. Repetition is a part of this genre so it is not a con for me. Looking forward to this very much but I have so many good games that I will wait a bit.
@ShogunRok any estimation about the time for the Platinum?

After getting the Platinum for Stellar Blade I finally started Hogwarts Legacy. Not too much time yet (just got to the dorm after the sorting ceremony) but so far I like it, going for this Platinum as well.

I also thought that the DLCs will be free, I will not get this game (have all assassin’s creed games but valhalla) but I hope for the ones that will that they will not be charged for the DLCs.

Just got 10€ credit, have some 400 points left. Not the best system but well, better than nothing.

@Shepherd_Tallon i will definetily recommend to buy a paper version of Berserk. The art is too good to read only digital (as many other mangas).
I might be interested but it will totally depend on the content. Start with all Shonen Jump old and ongoing and add classics, lets see how it goes.

Ive been watching anime since i was a kid (end of the 80s), and seeing the results of anime/manga against the western counterparts (eg demon slayer outselling us comic books in a specific year) tells why Sony is pushing for that.
As mentioned before I am also hoping that Crunchyroll will become part of PS+ some day.

I liked Zero Dawn gameplay, I loved Forbidden West gameplay, I thought both games had one of the worst scripts in gaming ever (skipped the later half of the games story). I am curious how a movie will translate from game, hope it will not be as bad as most movies based on games.

Already have NfS, not interested in SS but a friend told me the stabley parable is good so maybe in the future. Not terrible choice I would say

If the leaks are true, nvidia will officially reveal the rtx5000 series, hoping with a release date. Investing the money intended for the ps5pro into a new gaming pc and kinda hoping the new cards will be available before spring.

Got Stellar Blade this Thursday, put so far 12 hours and can say that it is my personal game of the year. Love all that it offers, great combat, superb characters and atmosphere and the OST is one of the best I heard in gaming (had to download it on Apple Music right away). hope to finish it in 2-3 weeks (going for the platinum).

Just got Fate Samurai Remnant for 27€ and Stellar Blade for 34€ physical on a local shop, cannot image what can make me spend more but lets see.

Tried it during the weekend, it was interesting.
Pros:

• 6v6
• Good characters with nice designs
• huge variability
• it runs acceptable on my potato laptop (was very surprised by that)
  Cons:
• 3rd person view (understandable but still feels off)
• a bit more of the same compared to ow
• gameplay feels a bit worse than ow1

Once i update my pc i will try it again, looking forward to it.

Finished Doki Doki this week so started yesterday Banner of the Maid, quite good srpg so far.

Seems like positive reviews on Steam, will try it later although I believe my current PC will not be able to run it. Hope itll be good, spend too much time on OW and I would live a good OW clone.

@rjejr as somebody who is playing on PC, PS and Nintendo for a couple of decades already I can tell you that is the best way if you can afford it.

@rjejr yes, it was released on Steam more than 2 years ago.

if Sony finds a way how to play our physical games collection on this handheld, I will totally buy it. my backlog is already at 100 games +- so this could be great (of course with an acceptable battery life).

have a switch, will buy the successor. have a psp and a vita, would love to have a new PS handheld that at least could play PS4 games, if it could play ps5 games on a reduces resolution and/or details that would be a day one for me. but no streaming.

Was it confirmed if this will be a 5vs5 or 6vs6 (or other config). Was a huge fan of OW but the transition to 5vs5 (and other stuff) killed it for me.
Also, was it confirmed if there will be classes like tank, dps and support?

I was saving money for the pro, but 920€ with the disc drive was a stop for me. Good for the people that will get it, but that money is half of my budget for my next gaming PC.

Ghostwire was at least twice for free in the Epic store, maybe I will try it in the future. While I loved Death Note (at least the first half), cant get with the idea of an Among Us type of game. The third game is irrelevant for me.

Finished the platinum for the main game and got many trophies for one DLC, this one looks good but I got a bit tired at the end. In addition, there is a big lag on the end-game (and specially on endless mode) while playing on the PS4. I will get the DLC later, with the other DLCs I am missing.

progressing season 6 of Diablo IV, hoping to finish the journey in two weeks max.

To be honest the spiritborn is the less interesting part of the DLC. It reminds me too much of D3 monk, ny least favorite class. I am on lvl60 paragon 40, like the changes so far. I will also finish this season (finished all season’s journey so far), just hope they will add more classes (faster) in the future (paladin, witch doctor my first picks).

was pushing to finish the platinum for vampire survivors and got it ahead of the next week release of the 1st Diablo 4 DLC. I will finish the remaining trophies for the expansion of Survivors I bought today and tomorrow and start Doki Doki Literature Club.

I am playing this on PC since I am “old school” (played D1 on release). Always wondered how are the controls on a game pad. Good to know that more and more games will be enhanced for the Pro. Wanted to buy one on launch, the price was too high for me but good for everybody that is buying one.

Huge fans of Musou games (currently playing warriors orochi 4), can’t wait to play this one. It finally looks next gen and hopefully it’ll run fine on the base console.
Pirate Warriors 5 when btw?

Man I loved OW, played it since beta until 5 days before the OW2 patch. If only they didnt completely change the game, monetized on such a scale the skins, and actually fulfilled their promises with the PvE part… I would still be playing it (and I am on the side of people that enjoy these type of collaborations).

Horizon and Days Gone remasters, Fairgames and Marathon gameplay trailers maybe, coupled with 3rd party games. Unless Sony has some big surprise (doubt), this might not be interesting at all (hope to be wrong)

i downloaded the iOS version of Vampire Survivors to try it, it was fun so i bought the game and a DLS last Wednesday... and I have been playing that every free time since then; fun and addicting game.

I know that people are disappointed by the sale so far but hear me out: there is a (looks like big) group of people that just don’t like platform games. I have these kind of people in my circle, and the all have PS5 and play Sony studios games. They are just uninterested in patformers. In ny case I will get the game but not now, price is higher and I have a large backlog. I get that ASTROBOT is a fantastic game, but it is still a platformer and are people that just don’t like that type of games. It’s understandable.

I also play in performance mode if available. However I really dont like this approach on commercializing the PS5Pro. Prior to the announcement of the PS5 there were talks about how this console will bring 4k 60fps gaming (since the PS4Pro brought 4k 30fps). Now, a few years into the generation, we are being told that the PS5Pro might close the gap between performance and fidelity (still not 100% confirmation of 4k 60fps). I dont really like the wording used during the presentation yesterday...

Sorry, 799€ without a blu-ray is just too much. Wanted to buy it but the price is too high for a home console.

@IOI thanks for the update m8, well that is an increase I didn’t count for. Let’s see the reveal tomorrow.

@ShogunRok weren’t leaks about 699€/$?

I will get it on a later time, I just relocated to another country and I need to save some money. the physical copy is for 68€ so it is a bit much atm for me (considering the huge backlog of games I have).

@Marquez i hope it does not. What Concord was as a whole is the child of the Studio and the Studio alone. And the gamers feedback was pretty clear: they voted with their wallets.
The studio decided on the genre, on the characters, visual, “storytelling”, etc. and failed. Thank you, it was enough.

my PS+ essential subscription run out a month ago. didn't get any offer during the days of play, so I was wondering: is there any chance/store/way to get the subscription with any kind of discount? anybody knows by any chance?
on topic: i am still kinda new to baseball (been a Red Sox fan for two years), but this is a good month for me (also a Harry Potter fan so looking forward for quidditch).

in times where classic jrpgs are going the action way and dropping turn-based combat, it is a nice surprise to have this kind of game. looks really good so far, looking forward for more info.

while it was a pleasant surprise, I got all three games on Steam and actually wanted to start the first one this weekend. I dont think I have the patience to wait for a couple of years until all three remakes are released (and I have all cold steel games also ready and waiting).
That being said, I might get those remakes on PS in a later date.

@BecauseBecause I buy all my games to keep, never have I sold one game. I think because of that I will go digital this time.

hogwarts legacy at 22,49€ is a great price. wanted to get it physicall, but havent seen it below 32€ in my country (ps5 edition at least). I think I will pick at least this one.

played overwatch since release until a week before "ow2" patch. Had a look at this during the beta, for me it look like an OW from wish, with characters that are not for me.
had a look at the steam charts, looks really bad, will be interesting to see when this game move to F2P.

while I am not playing it, a close friend is (on PC) and for him it is a 9/10 game. I will get it eventually, i went through the Steam reviews (more in line with my "taste" than "professional" reviews) and the overwhelming positive is quite convincing (read about 50 reviews).
