Normally I’d at least put a title like Saints Row in my library just in case I ever had the inclination to play it but in protest of the price hike on the PSN service and the garbage selection of games this month I’m not going to put ANY of these games in my library.
The only Day 1 games for me this year have been Dead Space and Remnant 2. COD: MW III will be a day one title as well but if anything else has a chance to be a Day 1 title as well, it's Lords Of The Fallen. My only hesitation is, as good as it looks and as much positivity as has been thrown at it by reviewers who've played a little of it so far, I've been burned too many times pre-ordering a game or buying it on Day 1 not to be sceptical now. I'm looking at you BF 2042 & Callisto Protocol....
I’m playing this game currently and it’s definitely not as bad as a ‘3/10’. It’s not great, but it’s not bad either. Somewhere around a 6-7 is about right for this and I say this as someone who played every Soulsborne title FromSoft has made and quite a few Souls-likes as well.
I enjoy COD quite a bit and will likely get this around launch. But considering what’s on offer there’s little doubt in my mind this was planned as a DLC from the get-go and $70 is a seriously steep asking price for that. I have the disposable income for something like this but for others who don’t? Bit of a rip-off if you ask me. At least it certainly feels that way right now. Maybe the final product won’t be but I doubt it all things considered.
I popped the platinum on Remnant 2 last night but that’s not slowing me down with that incredible game. After 117 hours with it, I’m still finding new dungeons, secrets, rings, weapons and amulets. It’s crazy how much the devs have packed into that game! I’m also splitting time between that and the original as I never completed the trophies for survival mode in REMNANT: From The Ashes.
Sounds very promising and what visuals I’ve seen look nothing short of amazing. Looking forward to the reviews when it comes out as this sounds like a great title to play in October.
LOL. Pretty good sense of humor on who ever came up with that tweet! I know it's fashionable to hate on COD at this point, but I can't deny I enjoy the series / games. Some are better than others for sure, but the only COD I refused to play since 2007 was Black Ops 4. Pure trash that one was, but otherwise? I'm in. I, for one, will be picking this up.
The game is absolutely AMAZING. Glad it's a commercial success as well. They have some balance and bug issues to work out right now, but that's to be expected from any game these days at release. Regardless, I'm still having an absolute blast with it, as tough as it is in some spots.
LOL.........I just.............. I don't even know where to.......................hahahaha...................(shakes head)..............hahahahahahaha.................(rolls eyes)............... Whatever.
@Northern_munkey I completely forgot they made that game but good call! Fuse was a lot of fun in co-op and definitely an overlooked and underrated game. The weapons were absolutely amazing. The black hole gun and the mag shield were SICK!! Would definitely be awesome to see a remake of that for sure.
@katamariUK Couldn’t agree more about the player character chatter!! That DEFINITELY a needs to be toned down or given FAR more options than the few you hear over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!
@Pixipantalon There’s an option to join friends - it’s just very convoluted. When you’re in game, go to the world stone and when you touch it there should be an option to ‘join’ (doesn’t work on checkpoint stones). When you select ‘join’ a map will come up with a bunch of different worlds / places and as you hover over each one, you’ll be able to see which friend’s game is which and can join them through there. Hope that helps!
I’ve been playing this all weekend through early release and I don’t think I’d give this game a 7; It’s more like an 8 or 8.5, IMHO. Games ultimately come down to how much fun you’re having with them and, whether in co-op or solo, this one is a LOT of fun! Yes, it has a few things about it that could be improved on, but what game doesn’t?
Man, I’d really like to see either a new Resistance game or a remake of RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man. Honestly, I’m quite surprised we haven’t seen a remake or remaster of the series to this point as that’s one of the best FPS of all time IMHO.
I bought the Ultimate Edition of Remnant 2 so I am allllllllllllllll over that this weekend through early access and enjoying every second of it! Excellent sequel to an excellent game. 👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I've never really understood people who refuse to buy a game because of something like framerate. I mean, play the games for the fun of them, not the framerate.
I’m in. I’m not going to be like a lot of people and post in forums that they hate the franchise, it can die, blah, blah, blah and then turn around and buy it when ‘no one’s looking’ so-to-speak. The sales numbers don’t lie. I like it, I buy it almost every year and I enjoy it for what it is. Just that simple.
I've always preferred the 'Warfare' series over the 'Black Ops' series and primarily because I prefer Spec Ops (the classic kind from the original MW2 & MW3, although the more recent versions are OK too) in a military shooter title, over zombies which is more prevalent in Black Ops than the warfare series. That said though, I also prefer Infinity Ward over Treyarch. So, as far as this year's release goes, it will remain to be seen who develops it and if they all of the sudden switch from Spec Ops, like the 2 most recent Warfare entries had, to zombies.
@Dusk_Actual Oh I am. For sure! I dig MP FPS and few do it as good as COD so I’m all over it but I’m also a relentless Platinum hunter (ck my profile 😉👍🏽💪🏽) and I like a challenge so I’m doing the Dead Ops Arcade 3 grind right now.
Well, I'm one trophy away from 100% completion on the trophy stack for CALL OF DUTY - Black Ops: Cold War, and it's the one giving any trophy hunter a run for their money; completing Dead Ops Arcade 3. Even doing it using Solo Advanced Start is a BRUTAL grind but I'm determined to get it done, so I'm chopping away at that. Next weekend though is a big one for me as my most anticipated game of the year drops: REMNANT 2!
I’m very much looking forward to this. I’ve been a big Mignola fan since before he ever created Hellboy and I dig rogue-likes / lites so I’ll be very interested to play this. Would love to see a release date on it. And I get the feeling this is going to be a ‘budget’ title along the lines of ALIENS: Dark Descent, where it releases at a price of $40 or something to that effect. I just don’t see this being a full blown $70 game for some reason……
Dead Space is my #1 game so far this year but that's just my tastes. And I fully expect that to change shortly with the release of Remnant 2. REALLY looking forward to that!! And there's still others yet to come out that I'm quite hyped for as well.
@Flaming_Kaiser No doubt he has a few decent flicks earlier in his career but I’d be curious to hear what you think is decent that he’s been in lately. I can’t think of a single thing, myself.
I've been playing my son's copy of BLACK OPS: Cold War lately and I have to say it's actually quite good! I'd been playing MW2 recently and got tired of it so I switched over to Cold War and found that, surprisingly enough, I actually like it a little better, despite my general disdain for zombies. The only piece of the package I really don't care for is the (dead Ops Arcade). It''s completely out of place, dumb, un-fun and ridiculously difficult. Definitely looking forward to having my own copy and also picking up Alan Wake.

Re: Scorn, the Most Repulsive Game Ever Made, Comes to PS5 in October
I’ll likely check this out when it :
A) Comes to PS+ Extra
OR
B) Shows up in the ‘Games Under $15’ sale
I could **MAYBE** do $20 but from what I’ve heard it might not be even worth that much
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Multiplayer Beta Dates Have Been Revealed
I enjoy COD so I’m looking forward to checking out the remade MW2 maps.
Re: Lords of the Fallen Sets a Creepy Tone in New Story Trailer
The more I see and hear of this game, I can't help but be impressed. This looks like it could be a first week purchase if the reviews are good enough.

Whatever. Enough with the teasing. Just give us the details already, Activision, before someone else does.
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Officially Announced, Launches This November
I'm in. Not even gonna lie or complain. I enjoy COD games and particularly the 'Warfare' series games moreso than the Black Ops ones.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 488
@FromSoftwareFan Steelrising is a fantastic game. One of the better Souls-likes out there. You’ll quite enjoy it I think!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 488
Still crushing Remnant 2 and loving every minute of it despite some trophy glitches and unbalanced moments.

Remnant 2 all weekend long.
