@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.

Hope everyone enjoys their gaming this weekend!

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.

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:

I'm not buying this (right away, at least) because it doesn't have trophies. No trophies = no buy (for now).

There. Community service performed.

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......

WHEW!!! Glad they spent the time on new hairstyles! Far better use of time than actually putting a few trophies in a massive $40 DLC 🙄🤦🏽

The only game I really want to see trophies added to is RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man.

@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!

Awesome!!! I haven’t played this yet and I’m a big physical media guy so I will definitely be getting a copy.

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.

All I have to say is I’m REALLY glad I spent the time gaming instead of watching Summer Game Fest.

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.

🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤬🤬🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🤷🏽🙄☹️

Definitely looking forward to this and what was shown today looks pretty good. Glad we got a release date too.

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.

I was ready for a sequel half way through my first playthrough. BRING. IT!!

mmmmm…..MMMM!!!! Nothing brings out the flavor in chicken like a healthy dose of blue food dye!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I actually have nothing to play this weekend. I just 100%’d my (thus far) GOTY in Stellar Blade and I’m looking for something to play. With both XDefiant and System Shock coming out in a few days, plus a new sale on the PSN store set for next week as well, I may just take a break from gaming for a few days. I hope everyone else enjoys whatever they’re getting into this weekend. Cheers!

Wow. Considering the games leaving, we get these??? 💩💩💩💩

2,000 games and yet not a single one on my wishlist. Go figure…..

The game is a ton of fun ……..while it lasts. Once you’ve spent a few weeks with it, the gameplay loop tends to get a bit old and there’s not enough diversity of missions to keep it interesting. Once I had platinumed the game (after about 2-3 weeks) I put it down and haven’t picked it up since. I do still have it installed on my PS5 because I keep telling myself I want to play it again, but I just never do as there’s always something else I’d rather spend time with.

Still thoroughly enjoying my GOTY (thus far) Stellar Body……uh…… Jiggle Blade……. I mean STELLAR BLADE!!! It is indeed quite a ‘stellar’ game. Getting near the end of my first playthrough after having picked up every single collectible possible and taking my sweet time with the game. Very much looking forward to my NG+ run.

I liked Prey but thought the DLC was better than the base game. Too bad there won’t be a sequel though.

Biggest dev team yet, eh? And yet, where Battlefield is concerned, given its track record, it could end up being the series biggest failure yet, which is saying something considering BF V and especially BF 2042. I remain exceptionally skeptical …….

WOW! Tango is a surprise to me. Both of The Evil Within games were excellent and Ghostwire was quite solid as well. Wonder what MS was thinking there. Arkane isn’t shocking as Prey was excellent (including it’s DLC) but that other title was TERRIBLE.

This weekend I’m all over Jiggle Blade. I mean Stellar Body. Uh… I mean…..oh, you know……

I always have to laugh at the trolls who intentionally vote a quality, well-made game like this below a 5. I can see people who aren’t fans of the game thinking it’s derivative or ‘average’. But to call it anything less than that is absolutely laughable and absurd. gave it a 9 myself after only 15 hours into it. As for Eve herself? Perfect 10 and some of those outfits are just 🤪😍🤪. I wish Western developers weren’t afraid to make their female protagonists that easy on the eyes….

What this game really needs is some new DLC modes complete with new trophies to hunt.

I'll likely give this a try. I'm not afraid to say I enjoy COD and pick it up every year, but the MP portion of it has become an absolute farce as of late and is more like military Fortnight than anything. Maybe this will be better? Heck, for free it's at least worth a shot.

People crying ‘CENSORSHIP!!!’ in this game are a laugh. Have they not noticed the equippable skin suit or jiggling breasts? Or what about how many of her outfits are basically body paint, for all intents and purposes? And some of those outfits even have a line going through her crotch to make it even MORE suggestive. I hardly think censorship was on anyone’s mind when they designed and created this game. And besides, if they were going to censor this game, a small amount of cleavage on a bathing suit would have been the very LAST place I would think they would start.

Thanks. But no thanks. Garbage month IMHO.

Good to see some news on this game as I’ve had my eye on it for some time now. Hope to see a release date soon!

Thanks for the book and all but how about a sequel? Returnal was one of the biggest and best surprises for me as far as games go in recent memory.

@Czar_Khastik Thanks m8! I'm busy as well with a lot of family stuff going on but it's all good. Just been spending some time gaming with SKULL ISLAND: The Rise Of Kong. If you like that Gollum game you'll love Skull Island (LOLOLOL). Be well!!

@Czar_Khastik 🤣🤣🤣 I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. That response was PURE GOLD. I have to say, I may just be your biggest fan on this site as, admittedly, I always find myself looking through the responses to whatever articles I click on for your posts. Keep up the fantastic work and I hope you’re doing well!

If ever there was a comment section in need of a post from @Czar_Khastik , this one is it.

I just got Stellar Blade but haven’t done much w it besides installing it and porting over the save file from the demo. This weekend I want to finish and enjoy Remnant 2’s most recent DLC The Forgotten Kingdom. I don’t like playing 2 games at the same time if I can help it as I don’t like getting the control schemes mixed up. And I also want to take my time w Stellar Blade and just enjoy it.
