BIG3

@Fiendish-Beaver The discourse around Veilguard has been absolutely out of line. I enjoyed my time with it earning the plat.

@Nei Update. This quest has to be picked up from Xion. You can only hand in requests in Wasteland. Another ng+ it is then. Just going to pick up all the NieR content first. Thanks for the suggestion!

I havent played the original but in general Im all for getting the final game out asap.

This is what kept me away from buying the game at release so Im way more tempted now. Perhaps at a future sale when Im done with the games Im playing now.

@Nei Ah. Then I need to do another ng+ playthrough (my fifth) because Im at the point of no return where I cant enter Xion anymore. Thanks for the info!

@DrClayman Im thinking the same thing after I've unlocked all the NieR stuff. Enjoy!

Last note. Now I really want Shift Up to make the next NieR game with Taro writing of course.

@Enuo seriously? Thats awesome!

@Nei Where did you find the new photo missions? Im at the point of no return (all areas still available)

Just an FYI. If youre at the point of no return I dont think its possible to purchase the four free costumes who are not a part of the DLC.
I love that there is a new currency to collect for the NieR stuff. Makes for a good treasure hunt with the hints Emil gives.
Oh. And photo mode is great!!!

@SirSephy Its around 10$.

DLC available now. 10$ ish pricetag.

"All 12 people" lol. Now that was funny.

I have huge faith in both of these games and I'm very much looking forward to them and wish Remedy all the best. AW2 and Control are top tier in my book.

DLCs should have their own category because it doesnt really fit into the ongoing category either. Remakes should also have a separare category, even if its made from the ground up. GOTY should be new games, sequels only.
Also, my personal GOTY is Stellar Blade and Im not upset its not nominated but I hope it wins something, especially music.

@breakneck oh I know. Lol. Sidenote. I would buy a Thunderjaw in a heartbeat!

I'm not surprised the NieR DLC will have a price tag seeing how Yoko Taro is "a slave to capitalism." His own words. Oh, and I'll buy it!!!

Xbox: Jumping between Hellblade 1 and South Park The Fractured But Whole while I'm waiting for Flight Sim 24 and Stalker 2 next week.
Switch: Sidequesting TotK.
PS5: Nothing as I just platted Dragon Age Veilguard. That game has gotten way too harsh responses online. It's a good game and I especially loved the companion quests and rewarding exploration. I'd rate it an 8. Act 3 is a 10 though, great ending!

@Dodoo Ive done 4 playthroughs (3ng+) and finished boss mode, sitting on 100% completion and havent encountered a single problem or bug. Not even one incident of wonky camera.

Awesome. Game launched bug free, excellent combat, design and music. Points could be pulled for story and dialogue but not much really. And the fact that Shift Up has added a bunch of content post launch, not because it was planned but because they realized how great their game is is a good look! Cant wait for photo mode and NieR Automata crossover next week! I hope this game wins something at the Game Awards too. It's deserved.

I already got the Tallneck and it is beautiful! Tbh I would probably buy anything LEGO Horizon. Thunderjaw please. But also some of the bigger villages would be cool!

@SleeplessKnight Hellblade 2 deserves some nominations. Stalker 2 can also be nominated I think.

@Drago201 Im sure Kratos voice actor will have that covered.

@get2sammyb Stellar Blade, Veilguard and Helldivers 2 are my picks.

No level select/replay is indeed a weird choice. Makes me second guess if I'll purchase this or not. How long does the game take to beat?

People always talking about costumes, character and combat which Im all for but is there any word on if the game will get more music with the NieR update? Because the soundtrack is incredible!

@AfroMario Just go on her Insta dude... you wont be disapointed.

My personal GOTY getting more content. I cant wait. NieR Automata is my GOAT game.

Sidenote, both them models fine. Good choice to base EVE on.

This sounds too good to be true! Is a fifth playthrough in my near future? Why yes!

I need more Lego sets based on Horizon. That Tallneck is so good! Would love a thunderjaw and more lego figurines, one of Sylens especially.

I dont think Stellar Blade can be nominated this year. Next year it should definetly be nominated and definetly win.

I hope he lives in a house full of home made traps. Lol.

I'm buying this for the Switch. Games like these should always be multiplatform imo so kids dont have to choose consoles or miss out.

@Grumblevolcano that was a very surprising answer. Had me fooled.

PS5: I have been playing Dragon Age Veilguard daily since release. I have already clocked in 40+ hours and have enjoyed every second of it.
Xbox: Resubscribed to Gamepass to play Cod 6. Finished the campaign which was a blast. I might play MW2 and 3 now even though I have heard their campaigns are weaker.
Switch: I have made a new habit lately of sidequesting in TotK when the TV is busy. Such a brilliant game!

I went human warrior grey warden because that's what I always do first in Dragon Age. Next run will be elf mage, probably mourn watch background because I absolutely love the Necropolis and my guy Manfred.

You think the Japanese price is eye watering? In Norway its 1000$.

@themightyant I also hate this side of gaming. All it does is ruin the experience you're having playing a game you like. Best to stay away. With that said, DAV is pretty good game and I'm having a blast.

I would love for the game to have ng+ with the option to pick a new class, background but keep the skillpoints acquired etc...

AW2 is a banger. Looking forward to Control 2.

@KingPev Yup! I just beat chapter 8. Havent been able to put it down since yesterday. This game is just my cup of tea so to speak. Enjoy bro!

On Gamepass I just finished CoD 6 campaign. That was a good one. Moving on to zombie mode now.
On PS5 Im playing Dragon Age Veilguard, or Manfred Dating Sim as I like to call it. I've gotten pretty far and this game is a GOTY contender in my book. Absolutely love to be back in that world.

I do not understand why critics are split. I only got a couple hours in but this game is good! Ill probably think its great or better by the time Im done.

Game looks great but I tend to avoid f2p titles.

Currently playing Lake House and I am having a blast so far. Upset that theres no gold trophy in the entire game. But thats literally my only complaint. AW2 was my GOTY last year. Incredible game.

I thought it was photo mode. I'll keep waiting then.

Out of all the games listed there are a lot I'm interested in. I might need a second job. lol.

Atomfall
Civilization 7
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Crimson Desert
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (Most hyped for me)
Doom: The Dark Ages
Dune Awakening
FBC: Firebreak
Ghost Of Yotei (My next years GOTY most likely)
Grand Theft Auto 6
Hell Is Us
Indiana Jones And The Great Circle (I'll play this on Xbox)
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii
Monster Hunter Wilds
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

Cant wait to play this with my kids during the holidays.

Returning? I never left! Cant wait for Lake House.

Another weekend of jumping between TotK end game and Alan Wake 2 ng+ while I'm waiting for Lake House arriving next week.
