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! 🥺

Enjoy the weekend!

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

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

Have a great Gaming and Olympic weekend folks!

Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?

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.

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.

Happy gaming everyone.

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?

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.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner @BacklogBrad @K1llegal I guess that might explain MS closing the studio somewhat. Hellblade 2 is very likely next. Sadly this just reinforces the live service argument when unique single player games cant hold on the a fraction of their audience but we all put hundreds of hours into repetitive gameplay loops.

Live Services (when they're good) are really the perfect game but time is limited for many of us.
