Re: Another Three PS Plus Essential Games Are Yours to Download Now

Had my eye on Rollerdrome for quite a while but never pulled the trigger on it. As soon as I’m done w Jedi Survivor that’s what I’ll be playing next.

As for Steelrising, I 100%’d that a while back but I will say to anyone on the fence about it, it’s a fantastic game and one of the better Soulslikes out there. DLC is worth picking up too.

Honestly don’t get the ppl that think this month is a crap selection. Sure, to each their own / no accounting for taste, but this is one of the better months I’ve seen in some time. Sony has stepped it up this year, as last month was pretty good too.

Re: Prices Plunge on Over 1,500 PS5, PS4 Games in Brand-New Sale

DETfaninATL

There are a few titles I've had my eye on that are included in this sale, but nothing significant enough to entice me to buy. $5 off Phantom Liberty isn't much of a discount IMHO. Maybe when it gets down to $20 I'll pull the trigger on it. Same with Lords Of The Fallen. Once that's around 50%off I'll grab it, but it's not quite there yet. Otherwise I still have plenty to play until then.

I’m in between games right now and while there are a handful of games I want to play, I just can’t bring myself to buy any of them at full price. I’m hoping the eventual sale that will start on February 1st will have a few of what I’m looking at in it. Until then I might just take a break. I will be watching my Lions tomorrow night though and hope they can punch their ticket to a franchise first Super Bowl!

Re: Suicide Squad Episodes, Characters, and Locations Coming After Launch

Hands down this is the worst Joker design I think I've ever seen. Which is compounded by the fact that this is the same studio that brought us some of the best Batman universe character designs I think I've seen in the Arkham series. ....... Come to think of it, isn't this supposed to be in the same universe as the Arkham games?? So why the different design if so???

Currently in my second playthrough of EVIL WEST on NG+ on the hardest difficulty setting. Hasn’t been too terribly bad through the first 9 chapters but I know there are some REALLY difficult fights coming up.
Also working on getting 100% for the DLC for COD: GHOSTS on PS3. It’s one of two games in the series I have left to 100% them all (except for BO4 which I absolutely refuse to play for multiple reasons).

Just finished up GOD OF WAR Ragnarok - Valhalla so now I’m starting on a game I’d been holding off on buying since it came out over a year ago that just happens to be ‘free’ this month: Evil West. I’m only one chapter in so far but I can at least say the game looks incredible. The graphics are pretty top notch. Will have to play it a bit more to form any opinion beyond that.

Re: Poll: Which PS5 Games are You Buying in Early 2024's Ridiculous Release Schedule?

DETfaninATL

There's actually very few games coming out in Q1 that I'm interested in, and those that I am I can wait for the inevitable sale or price drop. Besides, I have way too many games in my backlog I want to play and a few games that have DLC's coming out that I'll have access to as part of their Season Pass (Remnant 2, Atomic Heart). So, I won't be buying anything new and at full price........... which I rarely ever do anymore anyways.

Re: Game of the Year: #8 - Dead Space

DETfaninATL

Really glad to see this absolutely fantastic remake on a Top 10 GOTY list. For me personally, it was top 5 or maybe even top 3 based on what I’ve played but definitely glad to see it get some well deserved recognition.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 508

Not a lot of time for gaming this weekend what with the Christmas holiday approaching. But what time I’ve had I’ve been alternating between grinding out the last 15K or so kills I have left in COD: MW3 Zombies and playing the excellent Spider-Man 2. I have to say, the boss fight with The Lizard in SM2 is one of, if not the absolute best, most exciting, well designed, balanced and fun boss fights I’ve come across in almost 15 straight years of gaming and over 260 games! Just THAT good, IMHO.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 507

DETfaninATL

I’m still working on getting 100% on all of the COD’s on my profile. I’m currently 3 trophies away from being finished with one of the absolute best zombies offerings out there which is WW II. Caught me by surprise just how solid and fun of an experience it really is!

Beyond that I’m still grinding out 50K kills in the new MW3 and trying to clear space on my HDD so I can get to Spider-Man 2, GOD OF WAR - Ragnarok: Valhalla and CYBERPUNK 2077: Phantom Liberty.

Re: Atomic Heart: Trapped in Limbo DLC Looks Suitably Surreal on PS5, PS4

DETfaninATL

I enjoyed the base game and first DLC. It was a weird and wild take on the BioShock formula and the graphics and world were pretty phenomenal. This DLC however looks like more of a first person platformer and I’m not big on that at all. Partially because I’m not so sure that style fits this game and partially because I don’t think platformers work well in first person.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 505

Still chopping away at getting 100% on the trophy stack for all the COD games. Just finished Advanced Warfare last week so now I’m on Infinite Warfare. Also slowly chipping away at the ridiculous trophy in Modern Warfare III for 50K kills in zombies. Heck of a grind but at least the mode is pretty fun. Also gonna start on Spider-Man 2 at some point when I get tired of all the shooting at zombies 🤣

ALSO: Just saw Godzilla Minus One and it was such a good film it really made me wish there was a good Godzilla game out there. And no, the PS4 game is NOT a good Godzilla game.

Re: Oh No! Ubisoft Appears to Be Testing In-Game Ads in Old Assassin's Creed Titles

DETfaninATL

Nothing new. COD has been doing that for a while. I’m currently playing COD:Advanced Warfare and whenever I click over to zombies I get an ad for COD: WW II. Same thing w/ Infinite Warfare. And Black Ops II for that matter. Ads for different games come up depending on which game you’re playing, but ads none the less. As a matter of fact I think COD does it on ALL of their titles…..

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Has Some of the Worst PS5, PS4 Review Scores of the Year

DETfaninATL

@JB_Whiting Oh I don't know. I wouldn't say I'm 'trying so hard to defend it' at all. I just think it's getting a worse rap than it deserves and ultimately people are fickle and hard to please. Read some of my responses to others - I absolutely have my issues with the game, but I also enjoy it overall. Not too thrilled with what they've done with zombies but it still has a modicum of enjoyment to it.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Has Some of the Worst PS5, PS4 Review Scores of the Year

DETfaninATL

@Deityjester I certainly respect your opinion as, entertainment is a subjective thing. But I also respectfully disagree with you that the open combat missions are trash. I actually quite like them and think it's a good change of pace and a fresh approach. I quite like the freedom of tackling objectives however I want. Then again, I NEVER, EVER play Warzone so maybe that's why I like it? Regardless, to each their own.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Has Some of the Worst PS5, PS4 Review Scores of the Year

@Flaming_Kaiser Believe it or not, I largely agree with your reply, actually. As I stated in my post, "while it’s not exactly the best they’ve ever done w the game, it’s definitely not the worst either". I'd call that 'mediocre'. And I don't disagree with some of the criticisms levelled against it, like it's basically a large DLC pack worth only $40-50, the graphics are a bit sub-standard in spots, it feels rushed, some of the ideas that they used to 'shake things up' (the entire zombies mode for example), as I put it, fall flat (at least IMHO), etc. But even so, it still plays solidly, and is a relatively fun game. I look at it this way - compare COD to your favorite band. Sometimes they put out phenomenal albums, sometimes they put out sub-standard efforts. But if you like that band, what they do and their style of music, you're going to find something enjoyable in every album they put out. For me, COD is like that. Is MW III a great game? No way. But is it still fun to play even if some of it falls flat? Absolutely. And that's ultimately the true measuring stick for ANY piece of entertainment - is it enjoyable? So, for me, while I wouldn't rate this as one of the best, I wouldn't say it's the absolute worst either. And again, it's FAR better than ANY Battlefield game at release than there has been in over a decade so, kudos there.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Has Some of the Worst PS5, PS4 Review Scores of the Year

DETfaninATL

It’s honestly not as bad as everyone says. At least IMHO. I’ve been playing it all weekend and while it’s not exactly the best they’ve ever done w the game, it’s definitely not the worst either. People are just hating on it (I feel like) because we were told there wouldn’t be a major release this year and that it would just be like a big DLC package then they said there would be a full release but when it came out, aspects of it were a little ’underbaked’’ and the trophy stack (on PS5 at least) IS DLC…… for MW2. So, I get some people’s disdain for it, but by no means is it a terrible game and worthy of the low score people are giving it purely out of hate. All in all it’s still a solid shooter and certainly FARRRRRRR better than your average Battlefield game on release day. 😉🤣 Plus, there’s some solid ideas in there in terms of how they approached some of the SP missions (open combat missions) and zombies as well. Whether you like those approaches or not is a matter of taste but at least they took some chances this time around and shook things up. Everyone complains about how it’s always the same thing every year, but as soon as they shake it up a little, everyone complains it’s terrible. LOL. Whatever. People are just fickle and impossible to please…….

I grabbed HELLBOY: Web Of Wyrd on release day for $20 and so far I’m enjoying it quite a good bit. Such a great looking game if you like Mike Mignola’s artwork!

I’m also working through some of the last trophies I need in Black Ops 2 DLC for 100%. I really enjoy the early zombies maps. After Black Ops 3 zombies really started to fall off for me although it’s still decent here and there.
