"Cool story bro", but I'll pass on a DS3 remaster. Thought it was perfectly fine when I played it at release and with the glut of good games out these days and the paucity of time I have to play them, I'd rather spend my time and $$ on somethng I haven't played.

As for the continued desire for a Bloodborne remaster, I'd certainly take it if it ever came to pass as that's one of very few games I'd play again, but at this point I'd rather just have a Bloodborne 2 please and thank-you.

As much as I like ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erd Tree, I can’t justify it getting GOTY since it’s 1) a DLC and not a full game & 2) it’s just more of a known quantity and didn’t really do anything significant to really separate itself from the base game. None of which is bad as Elden Ring is a PHENOMENAL game but again, I don’t think it deserves GOTY. I’d have to say Astro Bot would be due those honors even though my **personal** GOTY is Stellar Blade. I know it doesn’t do anything new or unique but , as with any entertainment, games are all about how much fun you have with them and for my money and time, no game I played this year was more fun or more worth my $$ and time than Stellar Blade!

@rusty82 Thanks m8 - I appreciate it!

Won’t have much time to play this weekend as it’s my 21st wedding anniversary, among other things, but what time I do have will be split between playing some Black Ops 6 MP and zombies along with watching my Detroit Lions. Happy gaming everyone and hope all reading this have a fantastic weekend!

I’m a big fan of COD but even so I’ve never understood the inclusion of non-military things in a game that’s rooted in military operations and combat. This goes for the ridiculous and absurd skins of the past few years in MP and Includes zombies. I enjoy zombies but I’ve always thought it should be its own game / package / offering / whatever. In it’s place I’d prefer to see the inclusion of the original style of Spec Ops we had back in the original MW2 & 3. I think that would make for a much more solid and overall ’military’ offering. Just ny 2 cents worth….

But will RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man FINALLY get trophies?????

I'm all over some Black Ops 6 as much as I can be this weekend. Really good entry in the series! Hope everyone has a good time with whatever they're playing!

Black Ops 6 as much as I can this weekend. They really did a great job with each component of this game. Most solid entry in quite some years. I’ll also be watching my Lions and Red Wings when the games are on. Happy gaming everyone!

Nothing for me personally as the only one of interest I've already played and that was GHOSTWIRE: Tokyo. Very good, solid and well-made game though for anyone on the fence about it.

The execs who greenlit this, the greatest disaster in modern gaming, need to pay for this with their jobs. Pretty much everyone else involved with it has, so why not them? Justice needs to be served here!

Definitely one of the best overall entries in the series in a very long time! REALLY enjoying this entry 💪🏽😁👍🏽

I have almost no time whatsoever to game this weekend due to prior commitments, but what time I do have, I’ll be playing Black Ops 6. I will also be following the scores on my Red Wings, Lions, Wolverines and Arsenal. Then come Monday, which I have off of work, I’ll be spending a decent chunk of the day playing. Happy gaming everyone!

Played this on PS3 and was wildly unimpressed. Forgot about it almost as soon as I popped the plat. I’ll be passing on this release.

This is soooooo stupid. I really don’t like how they’re doing the trophy stacks as DLC for MW2, but, whatever it’s just a video game. 🤦🏽🤷🏽

It’s a really good game for sure. The boss fight with The Lizard is one of the best, most well designed and well balanced boss fights I can think of. It has a little bit of everything in it and is an absolute blast. And Venom……!!!! How fun was that to not only fight him and see those cinematics with him, but play him as well!!! OFF. THE. CHARTS!!!!

Unfortunately I have nothing to play this weekend as I’m completely and totally burned out on the platinum grind for Red Dead Redemption 2. And with both the Alan Wake 2 DLC dropping on Tuesday and Black Ops 6 dropping on Friday, I just can’t justify spending any money on games right now to last me for a few days. That said, I hope everyone enjoys what they’re playing this weekend! Happy gaming all!!

Personally don’t care about the politics of it no matter what country or perspective. It’s a video game. I’m just looking for a fun, high quality experience which COD always delivers, whether you happen to like it or not. Some entries are better than others and **hopefully** this will be one of the better ones.

@DTfearTheBEARD Having played both Alan Wake 2 and (I’m now playing) Still Wakes The Deep, I can confidently tell you that:
1) you made the right choice as AW2 is a meatier, lengthier and ultimately more satisfying and overall better game. It’s downright incredible how well made and good it is
AND
2) do NOT pass up Still Wakes The Deep at some point. It’s a relatively short game but it’s well done and a lot of fun. You definitely won’t be disappointed by it!

I’ve had my fill of Red Dead Redemption 2 for the time being, so I decided to take a break from it for a bit and picked up something in the most recent PS Store sale. I grabbed Still Wakes The Deep for a little over $20 and I’m quite enjoying it! It’s a very well done little game with a good creepy and isolated vibe that fits quite well with the Halloween season. Definitely recommended for fans of horror games.

GHOST RECON: Wildlands was a surprisingly good, solid and fun game. It was actually pretty funny too in some ways that were completely unintentional but none the less good for a chuckle.....

I both echo and amplify every positive comment and enthusiasm posted above or below my reply!! YESSSSSS!!!!

As a matter of fact, if they'd like my pre-order now to help w/ development coosts (LOL!) I'll gladly give it to them.

Still grinding through the good but unnecessarily long Red Dead Redemption 2 and I just finished up the final DLC for the excellent, never dull Remnant 2.

Splitting my time between the new DLC for the absolutely EXCELLENT Remnant 2 (which has become one of my top 10 favorite video game series of all time) and the very good but overly long Red Dead Redemption 2 which is starting to become a bit of a grind TBH.

My guess is the final episode or scene of this season is where ‘that big thing’ happens thus leaving season 3 for the meat of the matter

Dead Space was a must-have pre-order for me so I played it when it came out, but what an absolutely AWESOME game, a huge win for PS+ and great pick for October!

I’m not holding my breath. These have been lackluster for a long time now. I’m certainly hopeful of some good news and good games but not expecting anything either. Planning to be underwhelmed you could say.

Way deep into Red Dead Redemption 2 and way far from from being done w it so when I have time to play I’ll be riding and shooting my way through the American old West. 💪🏽😁👍🏽

Decent enough game and all but like HZD it simply doesn’t need a remaster. This is a waste of time, resources, money and talent that could be better spent on a new and (hopefully) fresh IP.

Never seen a commercial highlight and showcase the DualSense controller in an effective way like that before. Well done!

Never understood the love for this game. Platinimed it on the PS3 and basically forgot about it as soon as I was done with it. Spectacularly average and nothng special at all IMHO. Maybe I was just burned out on the whole 'zombie rage' when I played it but I really didn't think this game was anything above average back in the day. A 6 was about right then and I see nothing's changed apparently.

I play what I want, reviews be damned. But to my experience there’s often a good bit of truth in many aggregated review scores. For every Red Dead Redemption, God Of War or The Last of Us that get, and deserve, their high review scores, there’s also a Gollum, KONG: Skull Island or Quantum Error that get and deserve the abysmal scores they get. Unfortunately there are too many games that get 7’s or 8’s that many people dismiss that turn out to be incredible quality and wildly fun games like Stellar Blade or Vanquish. Just play what you want but don’t totally discount review scores. They’re there for a reason.

Really don’t have much time to game at all this weekend but when I do, I’ll be playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Get used to seeing that here for a while - that game is MASSIVE and I’m gonna be stuck into it for a good long while, though I may take a few breaks here and there……

Returnal is the best game on this list by a long shot, IMHO, but I haven’t played everything on here. One or two I see listed I’d like to give a shot at as I very much enjoy a good Roguelike!

Also, just have to say, though it’s not a PS5 game, Prey’s DLC - Mooncrash - was an awesome Roguelike and really turned me on to the genre.

I really wish they would get this pushed out faster as I’d love to take advantage of it. There’s some good features here I’d like to have been using ages ago. I saw an update yesterday when I turned my PS5 on and thought that it might be for the Welcome hub but alas, it was not……

PHENOMENAL game! Really have enjoyed playing this game and discovering all the secrets it holds. Very much looking forward to this final DLC as the other two have been excellent like the base game itself.

Thanks but I’m fine w my PS5 ‘amateur’. 😂 I’ll wait for the PS6 at that price point…. And no disc drive is a deal breaker anyways

Playing a bit of the Black Ops 6 beta. Otherwise I’m playing through the story for Red Dead Redemption 2. Honestly though, the weather is too nice to be inside and who knows how much of it is left so I’m going to get out and enjoy it.

The last game by these guys, Quantum Error, was an absolute unmitigated DISASTER. I couldn’t believe how bad it was. It was stupefying. Accordingly I will be steering welllllll clear of this one.

Hey, it makes sense in his head, at least….. 🙄🙄🙄😬😂🤦🏽

I say we take off and nuke the game from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Sounds to me like they need to implement bots to fill out matches if this game is going to have any hope of staying alive for the few that seem to want to play it.

Take off and nuke the [game] from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Maxed out my level in the Black Ops 6 beta yesterday so I'm done with that until next Friday though I may dip into it here and there.

I just popped the final 2 trophies I had been waiting on to show up in Astro Bot's Playroom, so that makes 100% on that trophy stack. Such a solid, well-made game, and I'm not into platformers at all, really.

Probably won't play much the rest of the weekend until the holiday on Monday here in The States as I'm going to a concert tonight and have church and family stuff all day tomorrow. Though when I do get back to my PS5, I'll be starting on the story for Red Dead Redemption II, which I've really been looking forward to. Red Dead Online is fun and all, but I'm ready to move on from it for a while. Plus everyone raves how good the story mode is in that game so I'm very much looking forward to it! Have a GREAT weekend all!

I already only spend full price for the rare game I KNOW is going to deliver and I can’t wait to play such as a FromSoftware title, God Of War, Dead Space, etc. Otherwise I always wait for a sale, a price drop or both. Having been this way for a while now, I have a lengthy list of games a year or more old that are already on discount and getting cheaper with every sale. I almost never need to play something as soon as it comes out.

Not sure I get the hype for this game. I played it on PS3 and was neither impressed or disappointed with it. Was a very middling game IMHO and I pretty much forgot about it as soon as I was done w it. But that’s just me. Everyone has different tastes for sure and great for those that like this game that much.

Sounds more like a developer problem (IE lie) than Sony’s.

I’ve always been perplexed by developers not putting an AI element in their MP offerings so that when the player base inevitably dwindles (unless you’re COD), then the game can still sustain viable matches and accordingly additional sales. Numerous times I’ve wanted to play a MP game long after it’s hit the market, only to find out the matchmaking is basically dead and thus passed on a game I otherwise would have spent money on. With the prevalence of AI these days you’d think it would be an easy thing to do to help sustain a game. KILLZONE: Shadow Fall comes to mind as a solid example of this.

@doctommaso LOL - well played

None of these strike my fancy but then again, that's usually the case for PS+ Essential. So, par for course next month......

As the X-Files slogan famously once said……”I want to believe”. But until I see something concrete, it’s all just a fart in the wind…..
