@SolarSpirit86 Hahahaha I played that game around its launch. I enjoyed it for the first few hours but it quickly became stale and showed how low budget it really was. Not a good game by any means but nowhere nearly as bad as Quantum Error. Now THAT is a terrible game and one to be avoided at all costs!!!
Still lost in ASSASSIN’S CREED Odyssey’s ancient Greece and loving it. Just finished the main quest line yesterday and now I’ve got more side quests, activities and DLC content than I know what to do with! A good problem to have! 💪🏽😉👍🏽
Stellar Blade by a large margin and it’s likely to be GOTY for me as far as I can tell based on what’s coming. Helldivers 2 is a solid 2nd place for me and was a refreshing and enjoyable change of pace.
I do want to play this at some point but there’s too much else out there that looks better. Besides, it looks like the kind of game that would get repetitive and thus boring fairly quickly. If it ever comes to Plus though I’d be willing to give it a shot.
When I think of Resident Evil, I naturally think 3rd person, so I suppose I’d slightly prefer that. But I’ve also had a great time with some of the 1st person games they’ve done so I’m really fine with either, just as long as it’s done well.
I’d also much prefer a new mainline entry as opposed to yet ANOTHER remake. Spend the time and money on a new idea instead of re-treading well walked in shoes.
Finally getting around to playing my first console version of an Assassin’s Creed game (I played AC 3 on the Vita and wasn’t overly impressed) - ASSASSIN’S CREED: Odyssey - and quite enjoying it. Absolutely blown away by how big the map is and how detailed all the locations are!! Really solid game and I’m having quite a good time with it so far.
I hate to say it but there’s absolutely nothing that I’m completely jonesing to play. If I had to pick a game or two that I’m looking forward to though, I’d say either Black Ops 6 or Silent Hill 2 Remake. 🤷🏽
Bummer to hear as that’s one of the very few Xbox proprietary games I’ve really wanted to play. But MARVEL’S Wolverine is more than enough of a ‘consolation’ prize 😉
I played Borderlands 3 on release and neither of the other two are my type of game, but at least they're all some 'name recognition' titles. Certainly not a terrible month y any stretch, but nothing I'm looking forward to either.
It’s easily my GOTY and I don’t see anything dethroning it. I’d gladly welcome DLC and especially a sequel. Glad to see the devs consider it a success.
@Geminisundone To each their own. It’s not like Elden Ring is the ONLY fun game out there right now. I just prefer to play something that actually has trophies in it, since I’m a trophy hunter. Maybe one day when I don’t have a backlog or anything I’m actively wanting to play I’ll give it a go. It’s not that I absolutely refuse to play something with no trophies but if the devs can’t be bothered to put a few trophies in a game, I’m not gonna be bothered with putting it at the top of my ‘want to play’ stack.
@playstation1995 Congrats to your Celtics m8! Was pulling for them as one of my best friends is from Boston. Also REALLY impressed with and like their coach a LOT. Dude is a man of very strong faith. Enjoy that championship glow - it’s fun! My Wolverines are NCAA champions themselves right now and it’s a nice feeling, I know.
I’m currently playing through the DLC for Dying Light I don’t have completed (Parkour Fever & The Bozak Horde) and quite enjoying it. Really fun coming back to that game after not having played it in 10 years or so.
I’ve also started playing through the Trapped In Limbo DLC for Atomic Heart but a combination of things is preventing me from enjoying it too much. That being the DLC itself is pretty bad and not at all like the base game itself. Plus, one of the trophies is glitched (and I suspect others might be as well). I may just hold off on that one until I know it’s been patched and there’s a trophy guide out for it. The DLC is just so far off of what the game itself is, it’s hard to find it very enjoyable, though strangely enough it does have an addictive quality to it in a masochistic way 🤣🙄🤦🏽🤷🏽
I’ve also noticed that some trophies have been added to Astro’s Playroom all of the sudden out of nowhere so I may go back and give that some time.
No trophies = no play. Besides I’m busy with other games at the moment and have a bit of a backlog right now, but maybe one day when I don’t have anything else to play I’ll give this a go. FromSoftware games are some of my favorites.
If Sony is the one that it’s up to for a remaster, sequel or otherwise, it’s no surprise we haven’t gotten something yet. Look how tone deaf, misguided and boring their state of plays and Summer Games showings have been lately. Sony appears to be a company lost in the woods.
I have plenty enough to hold my interest until Insomniac is ready to reveal what they wish to show us. I'll hold off on looking for premature reveals, spoilers and the likes until the developer is ready to show this off. I'm interested in the game already so no harm in waiting.
Working my way through The Following DLC for Dying Light and quite enjoying it. Been almost a decade since I played that game but it’s a lot of fun coming back to it.
@TruestoryYep To each their own, for sure, but I (obviously) could care less for pointless hairstyles that affect absolutely nothing gameplay-wise and would much prefer (admittedly, equally pointless) trophies that give me something to chase after. There's an entire sub-culture of gamers out there who hunt trophies, like I do, and many will bypass the DLC entirely due to the lack of trophies, thus why i think it would have been a better decision to put time and effort into creating some trophies as opposed to something like additional hairstyles. Just my 2 cents tho......
@Northern_munkey With all due respect, there's no need to be denigrating to people who like to hunt trophies or play games a particular way. Ever heard the saying "to each their own"? What harm is it to you how other people enjoy the trophy or achievement system in games? Why be so rude? What's the point of that? You enjoy your games your way and let others do the same. Just because you play games a particular way doesn't mean you're any better (or worse) than those who don't enjoying gaming like you do.
@MisterNintendo No, I value trophies as a PART of gaming, albeit a significant one. And it wouldn't matter if Nintendo went that route or not. The vast majority of proprietary games on their platform just don't interest me. But don't get me wrong - it's a pass for now. I may end up playing the expansion at some point in the future because I thoroughly enjoy the 'FromSoft formula'. There are just other games I'd rather play for the time being that do have trophies I can hunt, which I enjoy doing.
I’ve been playing through the DLC for Dying Light and really enjoying it but I’ll be taking a break from it as I’m going to the beach for a few days. Instead, I’ll be bringing my PSPaperweight……….uh, my Vita, I mean, and trying to finish out the DLC on Gravity Rush. Hope everyone enjoys their gaming!
As much as I love FromSoftware and their games, if there’s no trophies that’s gonna be a (sad & disappointed) pass from me. I’m a trophy hunter and for an expansion of this size not to have them is a massive FAIL, although I can’t say it’s unexpected given their history.
I’m sure I’ll pick up Borderlands 4 at some point but those games are all so …..’same-y’ it’s hard to get excited for them anymore. And Borderlands 3 was thematically bland, uninspired garbage and generally forgettable so I’m not overly encouraged for this next outing. Although Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was pretty good. We shall see. I just don’t think the series has been all that ‘great’ since Borderlands 1 & 2 and that was how many years ago?
It’s a pretty safe bet that I’m likely not going to see news on anything I’m TRULY excited about, but **might** see a few tidbits here and there on games I might have some interest in. Such seems to always be the case, unfortunately…..
@freddquadros Thanks for the heads up! I’m really looking forward to it as I enjoy Greek mythology which is partly why I decided to go with that one as my first real AC game. That and I had heard it was one of the best ones too.😉 And I was intending to play as Kassandra so glad to hear that’s the better choice. 💪🏽
Slogging my way through Quantum Error. Easily one of the worst, cheapest, most frustrating and poorly made games I’ve played in as long as I can remember. Can’t wait to be done w it so I can move on to ASSASSIN’S CREED: Odyssey. Never played a console version of an AC game before (only on the Vita) so I’m quite looking forward to it. And the fact that Odyssey was part of PS Extra and I got all the DLC for $18 (I think it was) which includes AC III, makes it even sweeter.
I voted for Silent Hill 2 bcs I never played the original one and I like survival horror games so I’m looking forward to that. But I’m also really interested to see how ALIEN: Rogue Incursion turns out, even though I don’t have a PSVR2.
As far as Astro Bot goes, the game looks great and those games are always made incredibly well, but it’s not really my type of game even though I don’t mind playing around with them from time to time.
@Czar_Khastik I have a game for you to play after Gollum and Kong, Czar. You can complete the Trilogy of Terrible by playing Quantum Error. Possibly the absolute worst game I’ve ever been suckered into for $20.
I thought I read somewhere that this was coming to consoles as well, which I REALLY hope is true. I’ve been looking forward to this game since it was announced quite a while back, but unfortunately I don’t have a PSVR2 🫤
Just gonna say it now but Stellar Blade is FAR AND AWAY, my personal GOTY thus far. And I don't see anything on the horizon, as far as my tastes go, that could dethrone it. Helldivers 2 is a solid second.
One of the truly crappiest Essential selections I can remember in a VERRRRRRY long time and that’s saying something considering Sony’s track record. The rest aren’t all that either, although, LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 is pretty good.
A game I had my eye on for a long time finally dipped below $20 so I picked it up. That game? Quantum Error. This weekend I’ll be playing that a bit and thus far I’m happy I didn’t spend more than $20 on it. The game has its moments and a few good ideas but overall it’s a janky, buggy, PS3-looking mess with some crashes to boot. Really can’t recommend it, unfortunately. 🤷🏽
Here comes the hype train rollin’ down the tracks. I have a good bit of trust in Naughty Dog, but “it could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming." ?? Let’s just slow our roll on that big fella. Show don’t tell.

Since everyone is so hung up on Push Square giving it an 8 and saying it's "more of the same" I'll give everyone something different to harp on:
