This is my most anticipated game of the year. I'm a big fan of isometric rpgs and the Baldur's Gate D&D setting. It brings me back to my pen and paper days. Can't wait.
Had a blast with the pawn system. It was fun to look at what gear each pawn had. I also liked knowing my decked out pawn would help someone else out in their campaign.
It was OK. Having Dragons Dogma 2 saved the show from being poor. I did like the trailers to trailers way of doing things. At least they took out the bloated chatter from the past.
This will see the light of day. There just too much money on the table for it not too. The question is not if, but when. It may not even be playstation at some point, but it will come out. At least from my strategic arm chair game player perspective.
Curious to see how this plays out, hopefully positively for all gamers. Now to watch what other gaming companies get bought up as this deal finishes to completion.
Premium will start getting value if ps2 games start popping up. I can't think of a ps1 game that I want to play again really. The trials are ok, but still not worth the extra bump. I'd cancel if it wasn't grandfathered in at the cheaper price.
PS5 hands down. Reason is the superfast boot up time. It makes the minimal sound a very positive experience, knowing you can jump into gaming in under 10 seconds. If I went on sound alone, ps1 is classic.
I have yet to read the other comments, but for me the psplus services are great except for Premium. I did demo a game, but the offerings of the classics is weak and to be fair not many I would want anyways. I would drop the premium if I wasn't grandfathered in at $60 or was it 70.
Looks promising. Reminds me of BDO only prettier with less pop in. Hopefully it won't have crazy grind of BDO and 5000 currencies. I did enjoy BDO up to a point, so Hopefully this is most of the good from that. Fingers crossed.
All 3 are worth a play at least for a bit. I can see myself getting pulled into Chivalry 2 the most. Will be a bit though as I just started God of War Ragnarock.
More Souls games I love them all. Armored core looks meh to me, but it's only the trailer so far and might just not be for me. Maybe keep leaning into the authors of fantasy books to help create lore. My vote, ask wordsmith Patrick Rothfuss for a new world building story line and craft around that.
Great month for me. I've had my hand hovering over the buy button on chivalry 2 and mount and blade 2 many times. The others will be great filler too as I wait for After Us to release at the end of May.
I wonder if PS5 pro is part of phase 2. Not that I would buy the next one, as I didn't with ps4 and it worked out fine, but and interesting way to phrase it.
@Voltan it's the toads that are bad, not sure if frogs are involved . Reminds me of 2 restaurants down the road from each other. The Horny Toad and The Satisfied Frog. Both had good ribs. Frogs would be fun to play as. Last frog I played was a frog shaman in Everquest. I just liked that he flipped everytime he cast a spell.
Sounds interesting. I have been on the look out for a more simple yet fun fishing game. Toss in some Lovecraft makes it all the more interesting. Last fishing game I played was on PC late 90s. Had a blast with friends trying to catch the biggest fish. It was a much simpler game than today's fishing games. You find a spot on the lake. It switches views when you fish. And you aim for the biggest fish shadow and hope it bites and doesn't break the line as you reel it in. I could never remember the name. Maybe this one will "hook" me. Ill watch some videos on it.
Will pick up eventually. Finishing hogwarts, may find a game on extra and buy this or atomic heart on sale whichever I see first. That should hold me until Baulders Gate 3 in August.
I'm just glad the game is coming to ps5. Super excited. I also think it's great eventually Xbox will have it. The more games that can be multi platform the better for all gamers. Many gamers only have one system. Let us all have fun.
@Jtheripper they made some good improvements yes. They improved on just about everything. I would say though if you didn't like DOS, its not that different that you may not like DOS 2.
@kyleforrester87 I do think having the early access for quite some time on pc amounts to about the same time frame for console release vs when Divinity 1 and 2 came out for console. That is my hope anyways. As long as the bugs are not Bugbear big, I'll be fine with it.
Is cheating that rampant on console? I always thought it was more a PC issue. I don't play many MP FPS though. Closest for me is Star Wars Battlefront 2. Occasionally it seems that someone is an amazing shot, but not enough to bother me.
@riceNpea Showing $39.99. Not a sale price. I will need it get down to $10 maybe $15 if I'm desperate for a new game. I'm. Solo gamer,. I do see more appeal for coop gamers.
@KundaliniRising333 thanks for the feedback. I'll try balanced and see if it bothers me too much. That is even if my tv can handle vrr. It is supposed to with an update last year.
@JbumiSandra I used to be the same way with card based games, then Slay the Spire came out and it was one my most played games LY. For me it now just depends on the execution when using card based systems. This game does show promise. Will be watching.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Guide: Walkthrough, Tips and Tricks, and All Collectibles
