I dig that Red and black armor one(assuming that's the CE-07 Demolition Specialist). Definitely going to be using that grenade pistol and Thermite grenade too.
Consolation prize for failing to liberate Tibit. We had too many people still on the bugs instead of trying to complete the Automaton major order sadly.
Have it downloaded but haven't played it yet. Fundamentally though, if Shu played the game in early prototype faze and liked it enough to come back with an offer, then that's more than good enough for me til further notice. In Shu I trust.
It seems to be somehow related the arc weapons(Arc thrower, arc blitzer and tesla). Could be related to that counter(just guessing) but if your reading this post, just make sure no one in your game is using those weapons until then.
The weapons resetting once you quit the game is annoying too but at least that's not crashing the game. But that has been an issue for too long at this point and should have been fixed by now.
Thank goodness. I'm excited being a HxH fan and I have liked almost all of Eighting's games. Hopefully Bushiroad has given them something decent to work with in terms of budget. I don't know if much in the way of story will be here. I do expect it to be fun in terms of gameplay since Eighting is making it.
The planetary hazards look awesome! Nice addition to the game and they can definitely wreck havoc lol. The flamethrower is indeed more useful now. I can still use Railgun but it seems Charger spam may end up being even more a problem now. Fun times though.
Hermen Hulst needs to be axed too. This AAA chase/this gaas chase happened under him. These mismanagement of studios resulting in the cancelations happened under him. These mistakes have ramifications setting back studios for years. He shouldn't survive it if lower level employees and studios have to pay the price for it.
35 hours already in with no slowing down in sight for me. Everything else is on backburner. I will not be able to play any other game likely til Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arrives. This game's fun factor is through the roof. All the crazy things that be happening, things you see in movies being played out unscripted.
Fake good guy Phil has been actively killing his Xbox consoles, pretending like things were this "enter lie" when it wasn't out here gaslighting. Now we here port begging.
I......love..... this game. New update today helped a lot it seems with the servers. Even with those problems at times, it hasn't stopped me from clocking in over 20 hours so far. I've played about half my games solo. It's possible but man is it a pain on like hard difficulty and up. Automatons are brutal. They absolutely don't mess around in comparison to the Terminids lol. So if you're going to go solo at times, Terminids is the easier route by far. Reminds me of Helldivers 1 in which the Cyborgs were easily the toughest enemy in that game on higher difficulties.
Anyways, this is the best co-op shooter i've play in at least 10 years or more. Arrowhead made that transition from isometric to third person/first person with this game beautifully coming from HD1 . The game is utter chaos a lot of times. Fighting the Automatons looks like something straight out of a Terminator movie. 😂 I can already tell that this will be my most played game this year.
Day one. I have no doubt it's going to be fun for a lot of hours. Me and my brothers have already committed to playing this. This will be their first time playing Helldivers unlike me would put 100s of hours into the first game.
I have RollerDome. Haven't played much of it but it's decent so far from what the bit i've played thus far.
FoamStars was decent as a game to waste time and mess around in the beta. So i'll download the full game and play it from time to time even though I don't have PS Plus right now(will have it next week as playing Helldivers 2 online requires PS Plus).
I just started but the performance while playing on my LG C2 is messing with my mind and making me sick literally. All the the blurring, the lagging/input lag. I may have to move my PS5 to my other tv to play it. Odd also not having any trophies for anything not considered a demo lol.
Just 3 months into the deal smh. That's totally MS, all they've done for the past 10 years is undercut, cut and drag while pretending like they're the nice guy.
The Finals and now this. This is the most ive been excited for multiplayer shooters in a loooonnnng time. I loved the first game and this is shaping up to be a worthy sequel. I have my brothers and friends interested in playing this time around too.
Years down the drain with no other game in sight. Utterly disgusting. Wasting talent(or are they losing talent?). Naughty Dog out here making remakes nobody asked for(but🤡 online justified the existence of) and remasters. This studio looking poorly ran. Is Jim at fault? Hermen? Neil? Probably all 3.
Can't say im excited considering im not really the biggest fan of the gameplay. So even though it's free(which is great), I probably will not download it.
Ok im going to have to buy this game. My PS Premium runs out on the 27th and im not renewing it. I love what im playing thus far. Needless to say I won't be able to get much done in the game in that time as im currently play other games I want to finish. I also think this is the type of game my nephew would like so i'll buy it for him also for Christmas when he gets a PS5.
I want to make damn sure somehow Street Fighter 6 wins both best fighting game and best multiplayer game lol. The game of the year nominations are what I expected basically.
I wasn't enamored with its gameplay like say Ghost of Tsushima for example. The gameplay loop is just not as fun to me. Going around the realms armor hunting, doing puzzles and fighting bosses that don't really feel like bosses in comparison to the old God of War games pre 2018. Combined with a story that's only somewhat interesting. I still don't care about Atreus/Loki. A lot of the game just feels like a slog to play. I got the Platinum but like Gow 2018, I immediately stopped playing the game after I got it and never returned because I was just glad it was over due to feeling miserable playing it to a degree. The game is more like a 7-7.5 out of 10 which is still good in terms of ratings but it feels like a lot of that score is on the production values end.
Sony's best game arguably this gen imo is still Returnal. At least the game I played within the first couple of months of it's release.
Loved it. Most fun ive had in a multiplayer shooter since Battlefield 4. Some things still needs some adjustments like the classes but the possibilities are endless in part thanks to things like the destruction which is the best ive experience. Anyway, ive pretty much found a multiplayer shooter I can dig into and have fun after all these years. The game ran great on PS5 with very little problems for me other than a couple of glitches where my weapon would get visually stuck in the upward position a couple of times. Game looks great visually too and I could easily make distinction between things. The Finals and Helldivers 2 are it for me in the near future.
Having said that, id still like for them to use real voicework instead of A.I. Nexon got money. Stop being so cheap on the voice work, the core of your game is great, flaws and all.
I don't think im ever going to return to playing COD at this point. This is the one franchise I want to see die but it's too big to fail at this point. Sadly the one shooter I was really into has me so pessimistic about it(Battlefield). Hopefully The Finals and Helldivers 2 can really bring me back. I dunno if either will have a huge success although The Finals is well received at least for the beta but you know how all that could change quickly.
Kinda off topic in a way but it has been past time Jim and Hermen be asked some serious questions. I know Bungie isn't technically under Hermen but PlayStation studios status is looking suspect despite Spider-Man 2's release, we know nothing about 2024 from their internal studios other than a gaas game we haven't seen any gameplay for. Spider-Man 2 was the only 2023 game. There's clearly looking like some f'ups been happening imo. The gaming press is the weakest of any industry probably.
Sadly this isn't of any use for me. It would be if the movies were able to be downloaded in for 4k blu-ray quality instead of having to stream(assuming the movie had a 4k blu-ray version).
On the surface just going off the rumors, this is an absolute shi** show and the timeline for projects has been seemingly been set back for a while. They came into this generation doing a remake no one freaken asked for. Not only did they work on the PS5 version, but then they worked on the PC version as well. All while this mp which has been in development for years gets seemingly canned in part because Bungie didn't think it would last long. So now you have nothing and theirs no telling when we will even see the first trailer for a new game.
EDIT: I didn't even account for the thought that they may be working on a The Last of Us 2 PS5/PC port. This ***** will make you want to blow a gasket just thinking about it.
Thank you for your service but at the same time good riddance. I only wish you could take Hermen Hulst with you. Sadly given the stuff Hiroki Totoki has said, I expect your replacement to be similar in mentality.
It's difficult for me to tell the difference between Phil Spencer and some of the xbox fanboys on twitter other than he's the ceo of Xbox😂. Them documents are glorious.
It once again shows you that you don't have to be a genius to get to his position.
Parries it is! Nice add. Playing Miles Morales right now and will have the Platinum for that by the time this comes out. Glad 40fps mode is in on release. IGN made it seem like it wouldn't be there(at least not day one).
The silver DualSense looks alright. My Galactic Purple DualSense(and Plates) remains my favorite color thus far. I would like a Sunset Orange DualSense controller with the same color scheme as the PS4 controller one.

Yes i am. With my family and friends. Taking more different loadouts to the higher levels for more experimentation. Fun times.

@ShogunRok It is Double KO from this day forward. That is what I will call it lol.
The visuals seem worse to me now in comparison to the first times I saw this game. I need to go back and watch some old footage.
EDIT: Yeah the old had a different artstyle. Preferences I guess.

Been waiting for this hoping it would come to PS5. This is definitely day one for me.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?
Rate: Okay
Positives:
Helldivers 2 bringing the mechs back(had no doubt they would lol)
Stellar Blade(still not convinced on the story, that part is likely going to suck but the gameplay looks fun so whatever)
Rise of Ronin looks fun(but rough around the edges)
Dave the Diver on PlayStation. Been wanting this since I first saw it posted on here last year.
Death Stranding 2 - They showed more than enough, I think im already on DS2 blackout going forward.
Interested:
Judas
Silent Hill 2 is here instead of the just on the positive side as it looked more rough than expected. The animations need to be better.
The PSVR games looked interesting but i've still yet to actually commit to buying one.
Meh:
Sonic x Shadow Generations
FoamStars(still the plan to play this at least for a little bit as I did has some fun with the beta)
Zenless Zone Zero(didn't know what to make of it but we'll see)
