@PeakUnagi they did make some improvements to gameplay and added a new mode but the que for anything other than the main game mode is so empty that you can't properly try out the new modes. Hoping for more players in October.
IF I get to play anything at all, I'm close to finishing Bloodborne and I started a Rena playthrough of Star Ocean 2 Remake. I did want to try our Lego Star Wars so I downloaded and installed it but haven't started it yet.
Welp I jumped back into Star Ocean 2 Remake and it's just as good as I remember. Gonna wrap up a Claude playthrough and probably start Rena run right after. But I have to play more Bloodborne too so there is that. Plus it's a long weekend for me so I'll try out the PS Plus games for the month. All after the Olympic closing ceremony can't belive it done already! 🥺
Like everyone else I was hoping for a sequel to The Order 1886. This is really sad but not unexpected. I hope the devs can join some SIE teams cause they are talented for sure.
Welp I'm debating whether to continue in Bloodborne or finish other games like Star Ocean 2 Remake or try the Visions of Mana demo. It's probably just me but I'm finding the Reward part of the Risk/Reward loop is a bit lacking.
I'll also be watching the Olympics. Have a great weekend everyone!
Ender Lilies looks really cool but Lego Star wars is pretty nice too.
I feel this was a mistake on Sony's part to have a massive Lego game on PS Plus mere months before Lego Horizon releases. For me I was gonna by Lego Horizon to play coop with my wife but now I can do that at no extra cost, and will probably be burnt out on Lego games by the time Aloy arrives
This is my most anticipated game of the year. It looks phenomenal. They almost have me contemplating the deluxe version for the 3 days early acces.... ALMOST.
@JonnyAces Same, evythibg looks fantastic and I'm excited but the Spectrum of The Order 1886 looms is the background of mind so I would like to see more gameplay and get an idea of game length.
Welp I have Finshed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and it was awesome! Definitely my GOTY so far. On a whim I started Bloodborne and just beat Daddy Gastro Coin last night. I have thoughts and feelings on the game but overall I'm enjoying it. Star Ocean 2 Remake is still on the back burner (mostly cause I forgot where I was and what I was doing) but I intend to beat it before my next game purchase which is Sparking Zero
Having recently started Bloodborne (got tired of waiting for a Remaster) and having played and enjoyed both Salt and Sanctuary and Salt and Sacrifice I can confidently say yes they need to slow it down. Too many Souls-likes are killing they genre. But on occasion they csn be a nice change of pace so they shouldn't disappear completely.
Let's be honest if not for Souls-like we would have to rely on FromSofr completely and they just don't want to modernize in some aspects. Souls-like do a great job of showing us what FromSoft refuse to, for better or worse.
I'm in the Temple of the Ancients in Rebirth I may actually finish this game this weekend! If I do I'll have to find another game to play, probably Star Ocean 2 Remake
Honestly this is one of the best games of last gen given the improvements and feedback they took into account. But because it once overheated 2 different PS4s I owned I don't want to play it on PS5 😅
Definitely trying to make some progress in Rebirth this weekend. Looking at Dragonquest 3 Remake footage has me slightly disappointed with it but also wanting to play it so I might jump back into Star Ocean 2 Remake instead 😅
For me it Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Despite its frustrating overabundance of minigames when it shines it REALLY shines and is a brilliant retelling of FF7 and is pretty much what we all dreamed a Remake could be. But sometimes you gotta he careful what you wish for.
Very interesting results. Shocked at DQ3 and Sparking Zero being as low as they are. But as @EfYI said there is something (or 2) for everyone this year.
I'll be interested to see if the internet darlings translate to actual sales.
I completed all World Intel for Cosmo Canyon in Rebirth and I'm thinking about bumming around Junon next. Might be battling a Hurricane on Monday though so gaming will be cut short.
I would think that most gamers where getting ready for the dlc by playing the game and therefore should be used to the level of difficulty. Is it really THAT MUCH more difficult or are people just not used to it yet?
Yup, another week another rehash of the same games I'm playing just with a dash of Salt and Sacrifice added in cause everyone else if playing elden ring 😝 New Seqson of Foamstars just started but I'm not sure I like the changes or the new character. I need to get back to Rebirth as I paused to play Monster Hunter World again. And I'm watching the US Olympic Trials.
Absolutely fantastic game! The story was gripping and more "a fantasy based on reality" than XV was. The characters felt very human to me. The music was top notch and the gameplay was epic. I was happy with the lack of minigames as I'm drowning in the in Rebirth, Side content could have been better tho. In my top 3 FF games of all time.

Re: Xbox's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Comes to PS5 in Spring 2025
Bwahahahahahaha 🤣 "It's only 4 games"
I still think this game should be in 3rd person though.

@Kraven The Fray AND Goo Goo Dolls?! Thats awesome. Man that take me back. Enjoy!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 541
@PuppetMaster I might give it a miss then cause dark & depressive isn't really what I need from a game right now, Bloodborne is bad enough.
FFXIII is one of my favorite FF! Wish they would remaster is for PS5.

@Matroska Jam! That's sounds great!! Definitely gonna give the demo a try and put it on my To-Play list. Thank You 😃
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 539
@Matroska I'm interested in both of these but never got around to the Unicorn overlord demo before needing more SSD space for Rebirth. Is it worth it?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 539
@Hootnoodle Go for it! And try the Burning Shores as well if you can. It's fantastic 😃

@MickOnYourFace You'll spend alot of time in the game for sure but it eases you in quite nicely, like a warm bath that slowly rises in temperature.

Re: PlayStation Studios' Bluepoint Games Still Working on Its Mysterious 'Original Title'

@Jimmer-jammer ohhhh man I would love that too!
Re: PlayStation Studios' Bluepoint Games Still Working on Its Mysterious 'Original Title'
@DrClayman @Brawl4002 @UncleByron the more I think about it 'Orginal ip'
just means not a remaster/remake so it really could be Bloodborne II 🤔
Re: PlayStation Studios' Bluepoint Games Still Working on Its Mysterious 'Original Title'
Any chance they grew to 2 teams and 1 is working on the original ip and the other on Bloodborne?
