It’s more Final Fantasy 16 for me this weekend. I’m about 50 hours in and I’m hoping I’ll be able to complete the first DLC this weekend so I can have some time to play something else before the second DLC drops this month. I’ve also been enjoying the recently re-released Resistance: Retribution on the PS Portal this week and I forgot how good this game is. The dialogue and voiceover is underrated. I am really hoping for a Resistance trilogy remake someday. Those games are special. I’d also be happy to squeeze in some Helldivers 2. Picked up a PS Vita this week and am just waiting on the memory card to come in the mail before I can start downloading my old games again. Miss the system and wish I had never sold mine back in the day. I remember I sold it for CoD: MW (2019) lol.
Started the weekend with some Helldivers 2, but will be finishing it off with some more FF16. I played Control for about 30 minutes and ended up completing chapter 2. I’m not seeing the appeal to this game. I’m just confused on what’s going and kind of tired of running.
I’m loving Helldivers 2 sessions in between playing through my backlog of games. I picked up Dragon’s Dogma 2 this year, but I usually wait for those price drops before I purchase a new game. I kind of regret buying DD2 because of all the games I currently have to play through that I am enjoying. I also started the game, but lost about three hours of progress accidentally so I’m not motivated to play it anymore. At least until I get through FF16 and a few others.
@Th3solution I made friends with the guy at a GameStop near me and he called me when he got a shipment in. He said stores in my area get 1 per month to sell. They got two the month I got one.
Definitely noticed an improvement but thought it was just my internet stability. Glad to hear I’m not the only one! And Im one of those people that play games almost exclusively on the Portal.
@Specky I’m right there with you. Finished 0, Kiwami 1, and Judgement recently. 2 and 3 are next on my list but I’d rather play a Kiwami 3. Don’t think I’m willing to wait as long as it’ll take though.
I’ll be continuing my play through of Final Fantasy 16. I passed a point of no return without doing many side quests so I decided to reload my save and complete them all before moving on further. I am loving every second I spend with this game. Excited for the DLC and updates later in April. On top of that, I’d like to finish the Stellar Blade demo and kill some bugs while defending democracy.
@Cloud39472 Seems like you just don’t like this style of article. To me, they are just telling it like it is. Simple reporting of numbers with nuances explained.
Going to finish up my playthrough of Judgement and then go back to enjoying FF16! I’ll probably continue my Yakuza series playthrough after I knock a couple games off the backlog.
Continuing my playthrough of Judgment so I can get back to the mainline Yakuza games. Also, got FF16 from my brother so I’ll be finally diving deep into that. Really loving it so far. I loved the demo so I’m not surprised it’s great.
Today is my Sunday so I’ll be capping off my weekend with some more Judgment. I’m 6 hours in and only at chapter 2. I decided to start this after finishing Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 0 so that I could cross it off the list before it leaves PS Plus Extra. I actually decided to start play the Yakuza series after experiencing the first hour of Judgment and being blown away by the story telling. I’m glad I did because now I’m hooked. I’ve bought all the games RGG has made in the yakuza series including spin-offs. If I need a break from Judgment I’ll probably be dipping into either Helldivers 2, RE4 Remake, and or Callisto Protocol.
@CaptD enjoy! I also recently played FF7 Remake and was super impressed by it as well. I’d recommend Outer Worlds! It’s refreshing to have a realy good RPG with great dialogue in style of a Bethesda game.
While I waited for my copy of Yakuza Kiwami 2 to arrive after beating the first game a few weeks back I decided to jump into Yakuza 0. I’m in the middle of chapter 5 and quite a few hours in. I’m hoping it picks up a little in the pace soon. When I need a break from Yakuza, I’ll be liberating and swimming in democracy with some friends in Helldivers 2! Have a great weekend, gamers.
@GeminiReign I felt the same way when I started Forbidden West back when it released, but got back to it a year later and did not regret it one bit. By the end, I think I enjoyed it more than Zero Dawn which I loved and got the platinum for. When the time is right give it another shot and you may have a similar story to me. It’s very high quality. The flying mount at the end also made the game immediately 50% more fun for me. And the DLC is a must play for fans of the series. It’s incredibly well done and impressive.
HELLDIVERS! And maybe start Yakuza Kiwami 2 as I just finished Kiwami 1. I am blown away I never played a Yakuza game before. The story sucked me in so quickly and it just got better and better. One of my favorite games I’ve played in the last 5-10 years easily. I can’t stop thinking about it and I’m ecstatic to see where Kyru’s story goes.
I am so happy as I love all of Tango’s games and I’ve been wanting to play this ever since I first saw the trailer. The art direction, style, voice acting, and gameplay look incredible. Can’t wait to play this finally.
Like many other people in the comments I am ecstatic for the short length. 20 hours is a perfect length of game for me. 3 kids and a full time job makes long games almost stressful to try to finish. Also love to see it’s $10 cheaper than a traditional new release. The demo won me over on this game. Highly recommend people try the demo before buying this game or writing it off. The combat is very satisfying and I found the graphics to be really pleasing to look at personally.
Been craving some Rock Band goodness ever since trying out the disappointment of Fortnite Festival. So I’ll be dusting off my drums and guitar and reinstalling Rock Band 4 this weekend. Probably some Swordsman VR as well why I make my way through the main missions. If I get tired of those then I’ll probably chill with some Evil West as I’m enjoying that a lot.
@Nepp67 to each their own. I prefer IW’s movement over Titanfall. Personally, it felt way better to me. Also, I don’t think zero gravity would’ve felt fun or competitive in the multiplayer setting. I think that was an intentional and smart design choice. The zero g movement was fun in campaign but VERY slow to get around and would’ve been so awkward in MP.
@DennisReynolds oh man I disagree wholeheartedly. It had a very strong community. The game was very high quality. The hate for the movement could be justified if you are not a fan of that, but it was objectively very well done. So smooth if you knew how to use the movement to your advantage. There were very few things about the game that weren’t done well. The maps, weapons, and game modes were all well done. The abilities were fun and new. I just can’t agree with the idea it was a bad COD. I see it as a top 5 in the entire series and I’ve put months of my life into these titles annually.
I don’t think the quotes are completely untrue. One example that immediately comes to mind is the Infinite Warfare YouTube trailer bomb. The game ended up being awesome in so many ways. Campaign was fantastic, multiplayer was one of my faves of all time, and the zombies mode was great and up there with Treyarch zombies modes. That game never really got any positivity after the initial trailer. People were just done with jet packs at that point, but if that game came out today I’d imagine people would love it for its Titanfall 2 style speed and movement. The current CoD games just seem to be getting worse but still selll like crazy.
That’s great to hear as it’ll motivate me to probably play more than I would’ve. I’ve gotten the plat on a couple Netherrealm fighting games and they were easy just took some time.
Oh this sounds awesome having just finished remake. I looked and have a ton of theaters near me playing it! Might try to go see this as I haven’t ever watched the movie.

@Bentleyma nice, I just picked one up as well! Used to have one years ago, so happy to get back with an old friend. Uncharted: Golden Abyss is awesome

@LN78 I remember really enjoying this game! One of the last decent AA superhero movie game. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is another solid one.
