Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 562

I'm playing Behemoth. I've just slain the first one and man, what a spectacle it was. No matter how many times I've played in VR by now, every time I put that headset on it's pure magic. And the scale and immersion of this fight was out of this world.

I'm also playing Stellar Blade. I don't know why I was so hesitant about it for the longest time, I totally love it.

@Shepherd_Tallon I'm looking to get back into Helldivers. Are you playing with friends or random people? Because I played it for around 10 hours when it first came out with a group of friends who fell off the game really quickly. Since then I haven't touched it. Do you think it's still fun with randoms without talking to them? Because that's just not really my thing.

Re: PS5 Pro Packaging Flaunts Its Disc-Free Nature

When I got my Pro pre-order in, the disc drive was still in stock everywhere in Europe. Silly me was thinking: Nah, I don't need to order that right now.

Well, talk about a mistake. Every retailer here has told me the next drives will arrive some time in December at the earliest.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Adds PS5 Gyro Aiming in Big Anniversary Update

I wish more games did that. Gyro aim makes games so much better for me. Granted, I was a PC and mouse/keyboard player for a long time, but I still can't properly aim with a controller. It's passable but far from great. I usually try to make up for it by strafing. Gyro almost feels like a mouse if implemented properly, Horizon FW and Helldivers 2 being the best examples I've found so far.

Re: PlayStation Community Reflects on Iconic Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for 15th Anniversary

I have very special memories with this game as it got me back into gaming. I just got my first salary. Having that amount of money at once was tempting, so I bought a PS3 because why not, you got to treat yourself, right? I liked playing on PlayStation 1 and 2 although I hadn't done so in maybe 2 years, so what could go wrong? What ended up happening was I used my PS3 primarily as a Bluray player and didn't really game on it. Some day, I saw a very brief snippet of Uncharted 2 and thought: I loved Tomb Raider back in the day, so that looks fun, pre-ordered it on Amazon and forgot about it for months. Later that year, I had knee surgery and was released home. The doctors said I need to rest the leg for another 10 days, so: Just chill and don't move unless you absolutely have to. But man was I bored. The next day my grilfriend came home with an Amazon package and I absolutely didn't know what it was since I hadn't ordered anything. Obviously, it was my Uncharted 2 copy. Although I was so done with gaming at the time, the boredom took over, so I popped it in and started playing. The game reignited my love for the art form, so it holds a very special place in my heart. Uncharted is one of my favorite franchises until today.
