Wrong answer

I got 8 and I’m ok with it.

Fantasian was a lot of fun. Definitely has that old school snes era jrpg vibe. But I don’t think it’s worth 50 bucks. That’s a bit steep.

They should have just named them Part 1 2 and 3. I still find people who aren’t familiar who think rebirth is a definite edition of remake lol. They seemed to believe that everyone knows FF7 when in fact there tons of people playing for the first time.

I’ve been watching lots of sci fi/space movies lately (Prospect was really good) so I think I’ll give no man’s sky a try. I played a few years ago and had fun but it sounds like the updates have made it even better. We will see. Also pretty close to finishing Veilguard but taking a break for a bit.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard and having a blast. The ranger is a really fun build.

The Horizon live service game Guerrilla is working on makes me nervous. Great studios wasting so many resources on a live service flop is awful.

7.5. Would be 8 if there were checkpoints during required stealth missions. It feels like the game is trying wasting my time for no reason.

This is awesome. Based on what I had seen I knew this was going to be a banger but a 94 on metacritic sheesh. FF7R is my goty but I’m bias. Won’t be surprised at all if AB wins though which is great for Sony! Give me more games I can play with my nephew please.

I remembered reading a book named Captain Blood so I looked it up and yep it’s based on the books Captain Blood that came out in the 1920s.. weird

How do people have so much free time?

Like a Dragon IW. Damn I finished Ff7 Rebirth and started IW a few days ago. I don’t know which game I like better tbh. Between IW, ff7 and persona 3 it’s a crazy first quarter of 2024 for jrpg fans.

@NEStalgia it definitely was for me. This game crept up on me. Played the demo and was sold.

@RudeAnimat0r Pentiment is absolutely bonkers good imo. I love that time period in history so it was extra great.

Ff7 Rebirth. I was hoping to finish it before Dragons Dogma 2 comes out but that’s definitely not gonna happen. This game is massive but I’m loving every minute.

@MUG3NHC I haven’t noticed any glaring issues tbh. I don’t tend to spot graphical issues very often though. I do have an extremely poor vision so maybe you’re on to something lol

FWIW I have zero friends that play this. I actually met a few cool people on the discord that are patient with my suckiness with shooters.

Need to play this gem again. The problem is finding the time.

I love these games. You can just tell how much fun they all had making them. They are bat **it crazy in the best way possible.

@Deljo so happy I picked one up. I’ve never owned any xbox but decided to try out gamepass after my ps+ expired and it was absolutely worth it. Not worried at all about it running Starfield either. Great little second room option for gaming and streaming.

@Splat the demo is out. It’s very short (like a hour) but gives you an idea of the combat and exploration. It definitely seems to have massive potential. Also, they seemed to have done a really good job to make the fishing mini game actually fun.

@TheDudeElDuderino that’s fair but that’s what they were going for. It’s just a chill game that I need once in a while. Journey filled the same void. IMO of course.

Everyone and their mother (for reals) should play stray. It’s a great break before jumping into another 50 hours+ game.

As far as the game I’ve had the most fun with it’s probably HL and I’m not even a Potter fan.

But when it comes to the GotY contender on this list it has to be FF16.

I also started Diablo IV a few days ago and I am liking it. It’s my first Diablo game so I have nothing to compare it to.

Also, Octopath 2 deserves to be in the top 5 imo.

Need to finish up FFXVI but the massive side quest dump at the end is tiring me out but I’ll finish it eventually. I decided to take a break and start Diablo IV. Never have played one before and so far I’m having a blast.

@KaijuKaiser

I can confidently say that the update has fixed my issue with my system shutting itself down presumably from overheating. I regularly clean my system and it has never had obstructive airflow. I also entered a ticket with square and shortly after the patch came out they responded to the ticket saying some crashing issues have been addressed with the most current patch. Seems to have definitely addressed my issue.

There are just way to many games coming out and not enough time. I love stealth so if I hear they actually did a good job at pulling it off I'll get it down the road when it's under 20. It does look a lot better then I thought it would at least.

"Small, non-adjustable text" is all I needed to hear . I've been cursed with horrible vision. There are so many good games I can't play because of the text size. I do appreciate when reviews mention this.

@Mattock1987

Yoshi P confirmed it and said he wants people to pet Torgal to see his cute expressions.

Definitely HL. So bummed they are not planning on releasing DLC. Octopath 2 is decent but I've lost some motivation to continue it.

Playing Octopath 2 but kind of burning out. The battle system is fun but it's just getting very repetitive. I'll give it some more time but if I'm not feeling it I'll find something in my ginormous backlog.

The fact they said the main quest is 35 hours and main + side quests and extras is around 70 ish means there will probably be more than enough to do to keep busy.

Finished Hogwarts Legacy... put about 75 hours into it loved it. Don't know if I'll ever replay it though. Now I'm playing Octopath 2. I like the tweaks they made with the battle system but otherwise feels like a copy/paste of the first one.

I was attempting to but it's the only game that shuts down my ps5 entirely. I chalked it up to it only happening on the demo at first but nope, it's happening on the main game as well. It's clean and not even hot to the touch. I'll probably just dl and play the ps4 version on the ps5 and see if it's happening there too.

A lot of my friends are playing P4 Golden since it just got rereleased so I decided to power up my Vita for the first time in a few years. Well, the game crashes when I launch it and I've tried everything. I broke down and bought it on my PS5 so this will keep me busy for weeks.

I was about to type almost the identical comment. I can see playing only 4 hours actually turning a lot of people off since it's a bit of a slog/boring until like the 10-15 hour mark when it opens up and gets amazing.

I'm playing Chained Echoes and loving it. It's definitely a modern old school JRPG done right.

Damn, they nailed it in my opinion. The changes they made still fit the overall narrative. The casting seems spot on too. Can't wait til next Sunday!

Still tackling my first Witcher 3 play through and I see no end in sight. This game is massive.

@Cyberpsycho totally agree. VIII was my first Ys game and I loved it! I was so stoked for IX and man, what a let down.

I'm playing Nier Replicant on my PS5. Hoping to finish it before Witcher 3 comes out! Can't wait to dive into it!

I'm officially on the FF16 hype train!

It's not a great game. Spent about 20 hours and couldn't hang. And that's fine. It's not because of the woke reviewers. It's literally because it's just not a great game.

I'm just hardcore casually playing some Slay the Spire and Marvel Snap until Witcher 3 PS5 update comes out. I recently beat GoWR and I don't have the brain power to hop into a huge endeavor. Also going to be watching lots of World Cup. Super stoked for Witcher 3. It will be my first play through ever.

I hope they can pull this off. I'm still a bit skeptical so I'll wait for feedback but it's definitely looking better than I thought.

Good on Santa Monica for once again doing a AAA release the right way and not forcing us consumers to be some unpaid QA peeps.

@ScepticDK nope it's a standalone game. But if you have the time and resources to play the first one I recommend it! The stories can be a little disjointed and meh but the job system and battle system are top notch imo.

Lol. So bad it's good maybe? Regardless of the ad it's not going to get me anymore hyped then I already am! Review 'embargo lifts tomorrow!

Squeeze throughs have never even remotely been an issue for me. I'm just so used to them by now I dgaf whether or not it is to hide load screens.

At the moment I don't but I can understand why it would be an expectation in a few years since most people will be on next gen.
