@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!!!

Re: Capcom Ends New Content Support for Exoprimal

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.

Re: Shocking: There's a New Resident Evil Game in Development

DETfaninATL

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.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?

@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.

Hope everyone enjoys their gaming this weekend!

Re: Big Elden Ring Update Adds New Features and Adjusts Balance Ahead of DLC's Release

@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......

Re: Elden Ring's Massive Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Doesn't Have Any Trophies on PS5, PS4

DETfaninATL

@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.

Re: Elden Ring's Massive Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Doesn't Have Any Trophies on PS5, PS4

@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!

Re: Rumour: Borderlands 4 Is 2K's Big SGF Announcement

DETfaninATL

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?

@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.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite Game from State of Play?

DETfaninATL

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.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 530

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. 🤷🏽
