Still ticking over on PGA Tour Golf: Road to the Masters (currently leading the Masters going into the 3rd round), the more I play it, the more it separates itself from the 2K games.
Not sure what else right now though, Iāve kinda cleared the deck a bit this week having finished off a few plats (Final Fantasy 2, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown & Ghost of Yotei), so I could go back and begin the mop-up on a few games I started and moved on from like Homefront: The Revolution and World War Z: Aftermath or start something new (well new to me š ) like Metro 2033 and Bioshock. Iām kinda leaning towards the latter atm.
The more we hear about sales/wishlisting on steam (Slay the Spire 2, Mewgenics, Subnautica 2), the more I realise that PC gamers and PlayStation players just want quite different things⦠and thatās absolutely fine btw. Makes more and more sense why Sony appear to be pulling back from that market.
The gaming fraternity is a strange old market. The Dead Space games are incredible (yes even 3) and up there with Resident Evil in terms of pure quality action survival horror. But while Resi sells by the truck load (rightfully so too), DS appeals to a far smaller demographic. Makes no sense!
I was early 20ās when GTA 3 released and while I already had a PS2⦠Iād kinda lost total interest in gaming. A guy in work⦠not really a friend, barely an acquaintance who Iād never seen an ounce of emotion out of prior to that day could not shut up about GTA 3! Something in his crazed fervour mustāve spoke to me as before I knew it I was taking a detour to Virgin Megastore instead of going straight to the train station to get off home⦠I couldnāt be more glad that I did.
Hoping to make a start on Final Fantasy 2 this weekend. I was real pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the original when I played it last year, so hopefully the sequel hits in much the same way.
Apart from that, maybe a tournament or two on PGA Tour: Road to the Masters. A real solid golf game and itās completely hooked me!
I do have a couple of these in the backlog (in fact I think I have thee of these as the first one came with a bonus entry). Iāll probably just end up play those if Iām honest.
Iām wondering whether weāll be getting the Space Marine - Recrafted Edition next month. It will have been a year since its Xbox release by that point.
@pepsilover2008 not saying it wouldānt be but for Microsoft to fork over what would be required with their install base⦠well, as I said⦠it would be surprising.
This was the first āgatchaā that I was semi-interested in (probably because the mere mention of GTA evokes so much nostalgia for me if Iām honest) but having watched a few YouTube reviews, Iām pretty sure it wouldnāt be for me.
I am excited for this⦠but I canāt lie, I wouldāve rathered it remain shooter over melee. Still, I love the universe and the lore⦠so Iām excited to play it regardless.
Played and platād the original a few years back, yet to play 2 though. I did mean to play at least one metroidvania per year after really enjoying the first game but havenāt really carried that through for one reason or another.
Had a blast with Ghost of Yotei this week⦠if this wasnāt good enough to get a GotY nom last year, the games that did have a lot to live up to! Real close to the plat now, so will be mopping up a few side things in Watanabe mode.
If/when Yotei is wrapped, gonna move onto Life is Strange: Before the Storm. Never imagined that this series wouldāve landed for me but looking forward to returning to it.
Iām one of the few that wouldāve actually appreciated this being remade in the RPG-lite stylings of Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla/Shadows tbh. Iāll still play it though.
I picked this up for around Ā£20.00 not long after it released, still havenāt played it though. Sounds like itāll be in decent shape by the time that I do.
Iāve never been a massive fan of the Spider-man games (theyāre fine but I just find the combat boring) but I am interested in this. I played the Origins movie tie-in a couple of years back and really enjoyed it. And thereās no reason why Insomniac canāt improve on that.
@Stocksy yeah itās both a really good game and a great addition to the ip too. Iād happily play through the whole thing again if they ever remastered it.
