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.
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.
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
What I find more interesting is after release, expensive ultimate and deluxe editions go on sale more often than the standard edition. And even on sale they cost more than the SE.
@Rich33 Doing all the Merlin challenges felt like a chore so I totally get that. I've never been a fan of trophies you have to grind a lot for. I only got it in Hogwarts because I took my time with it and didn't rush.
@LavenderShroud "Why not just enjoy the game?" Getting the plat is how I enjoy my games. If its not for you its not for you, but me, I love it. Enhances the experience imo.
@BeerMonster I gotchu. Stellar Blade, Space Marine 2, Tekken 8, Dragons Dogma 2, P3 Reload, Helldivers 2, Metaphor ReFantazio, LaD Infinite Wealth, Silent Hill 2, Astro Bot.
My top 3 is Stellar Blade, Helldivers 2 and Astro Bot. Only other game I bought for PS5 this year is Tekken 8 but I got bored with it real quick. SF6 I still play regurarly in comparison.
@Dalamar It's really unfair tbh. My guess is DnD is already well known while Stellar Blade is something new. Personally I'll never accept any slander about SB. The game is just too good!
I'm on a lovely repeat binge while I'm waiting for the new Dragon Age.
Switch: Sidequests/adventures in TotK. Series X: BG3, started a second playthrough as a Bard this time. PS5: Alan Wake 2, The final draft (ng+).
Recently finished: Shattered Space DLC. Enjoyed everything it had to offer. There are some things I wished would have been there but nothing to complain about. If you liked the base game I'm sure you will like Shattered Space as well.
I also played the Metaphor demo and it seems great!
If its coop in the story. Like Gears 5 then I just became way more interested in this game than I thought I would ever be. I got a friend whos hooked on AC games, me, not so much. But I would love to play this with him.
Being able to remove this should be standard. There were times the companions would say "you can cut that", "throw your axe there" etc and I havent even had the chance to look around. Same with HFW. I love Aloy but she has no patience for my *****. Lol.
This weekend I'm playing the Metaphor demo. I loved Persona 5 so I'm definetly interested.
Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK.
Recently finished: I honestly finished this game and got the plat a long time ago but the other day I unlocked the last outfits in Stellar Blade. It's my GOTY for sure with its excellent combat, boss fights and soundtrack. Oh, and the game has been completely bug free since launch day. A high quality game indeed that I highly recommend if you like action games.
Why wasnt Lake House DLC on the list? Anyways, for me it goes GoY, Stellar Blade DLC, Lakehouse DLC and as a bonus, Lego Horizon, Veilguard and MH Wilds. A good State of Play overall I think.
I've played through Inquisition several times and have chosen differently. So I'll just pick whatever I feel like then Veilguard drops. Really looking forward to it.
I must say I love this direction they are heading in. And I dont mind a franchise as long as the games habe high quality. Movies, series, etc. never bothered me if they fall flat or break the lore (looking at you Witcher) as long as the game delivers!

Re: Unknown 9: Awakening (PS5) - Brand New IP Shows Plenty of Promise
@dark_knightmare2 I couldnt agree more. All positives in my book!
Re: Unknown 9: Awakening (PS5) - Brand New IP Shows Plenty of Promise
@Nintendo4Sonic Let me know what you think. Im kind of on the fence with this one.

I'm glad to gear Anya delivers in the VO. Didn't expect anything less to be honest.
Glitchy camera is kind of a deal breaker though...

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reportedly Has a Co-Op Game Mode in Development
If its coop in the story. Like Gears 5 then I just became way more interested in this game than I thought I would ever be. I got a friend whos hooked on AC games, me, not so much. But I would love to play this with him.
Re: Random: God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes Thousands of 'Helpful' Dialogue Lines
Being able to remove this should be standard. There were times the companions would say "you can cut that", "throw your axe there" etc and I havent even had the chance to look around. Same with HFW. I love Aloy but she has no patience for my *****. Lol.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for October and November 2024
Dragon Age Veilguard for sure, Unknown 9 maybe.
I'm also keeping an eye on Metaphor and Silent Hill 2.

This is the most insane photo mode I have ever seen. If DS2 drops next year I already have my GOTY no matter what. Lol.
Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Has the Wildest Photo Mode You've Ever Seen
@get2sammyb We need this photo mode in Stellar Blade amiright?

Re: Eve's Body Physics Get a Boost in Surprise Stellar Blade PS5 Patch
@Titntin Just gonna throw out there that there are a bunch of outfits in the game that arent revealing or sexual at all.
Re: Eve's Body Physics Get a Boost in Surprise Stellar Blade PS5 Patch
@MikeOrator It would have sold even more wirh Aloy as the lead. You're tripping.
Re: Eve's Body Physics Get a Boost in Surprise Stellar Blade PS5 Patch
@McBurn This game was bug free at launch and fully complete though. They are only adding more stuff because it sold beyond what they expected.
Re: Mini Review: Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition (PS5) - Still a Series Highlight 25 Years Later
Too bad the game doesn't have crossplay. WMD didn't have it either and for me at least, the online play died sooner than it should have.
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your Favourite PS5 Game from State of Play September 2024?
Why wasnt Lake House DLC on the list? Anyways, for me it goes GoY, Stellar Blade DLC, Lakehouse DLC and as a bonus, Lego Horizon, Veilguard and MH Wilds. A good State of Play overall I think.
