I had finally given up on the game. I love it and was grinding through it. But then I hit a boss fight several hours in and just could not get past it. So I put it down. Ill be downloading it again very soon with this news in hand.
Happy weekend everyone! My time has been spent mostly with Ball x Pit on Switch, which is great and highly addictive. And on the side its been Rush Rally Origins on PS5. Have a great rest of your weekend!
This weekend I finished Sword of the Sea. It was a nice short experience and was joy to play. Now it’s back to The Switch to continue working my way through Aria Of Sorrow in the castlveinia advance collection. Have a great weekend!
This week and weekend its all Wheel World and the Shinobi Art of Vengance demmo. I did finally get around to finishing Spider-Man. 2’s story. That was a really good game. But I’m very much enjoying tm these smaller experiences more. Have a great weekend!
This weekend I’m finally getting around to Doom Eternal and I’m close to finishing Astrobot on PS5. And on Switch I picked up Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Thank Goodness You’re Here on sale. Both are a fun and easy which is a nice change after a good session of Doom. Have a great weekend!
I just finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Series X. Definitely one of my favorite games this year. I played it through game pass but I’ll be buying it to play again early next year when it hits PS5. If you can, definitely check it out it’s really that good. Have a great weekend and Holiday!
@KingPev that’s pretty much how i felt. I couldn’t ever bring myself to finish it. None of the characters are interesting and they all look and sound bad. Also having sheds played this exact game twice before with the first two games it’s just busy work at this point. I just played all the way through Mad Max from 2016. That games was way more fun and entertaining than Spider Man. But that’s just my thoughts.
Almost to the end of God of War Ragnarok. It’s been good but I’m ready for it to be done. Like most games these days it’s just too long. It’s it is very good!
I’m Feeling like this generation hasnt event gotten started really, and then this. I think my sights are now squarely set on what the new Switch 2 will bring. Also i have a back log and so many retro games id like to play. Im to the point that i just dont care about the newest and latest PS. But good for those who do.
@Frmknst that’s exactly my plan. Seams silly to buy it on PS5 when it will just show up day one on my Xbox. But good for those that don’t have both. Happy Gaming!
This weekend it’s been God of War Ragnarok most of the time. And then finished another scene in Nobody Wants to Die. Then when I need a break from the those heavy games I pick up either Dave the Diver or Balatro for something a bit lighter. Have a great weekend!
Finally picked up God of War Ragnarok while it’s on sale. It’s been very easy to get sucked back into GoW. So fun to hunt around for stuff to find. Also put a few more hours into Balatro. Have a great weekend!
GT7 is by far my favorite game this generation. At 140 hours in it’s always got something fun to do. I can’t wait to feel these new physics. Gran Turismo has always been the best feeling racing game since the very beginning in 1998. Can’t wait!
@Specky no you are not a doomer, gaming has been getting worse since the ps3/360/Wii era. Good games have come out since then. But the soul and fun of the industry has been taken over by growth focused corporate greed and focus groups.
This weekend I’m done traveling for work for a couple weeks. So with that I’m actually playing Spider-Man 2 after picking up on sale. To my surprise I’m lik liking it quite a bit! I’ll definitely see it through. I’m also playing GPolice, What a nice nostalgia trip! And as always more Gran Turismo 7. They just keep making that game better and better! 130hours in now, and I see no end in sight. Have a great weekend!
Astros playroom is still my favorite game on the PS5! Now there is finally something to look forward to on what has been the most disappointing PlayStation generation yet. Can’t wait,
This weekend I’ve been working on the Mortal Kombat 1 campaign. It’s fun and looks amazing like all of them have done. And i continue to slowly work my way through Robocop. Have a great weekend!
@Nem this! Exactly this! The PS3 and PS4 were so good for this. I don’t care at all about the best graphics. 8 and 10 hour games are the perfect length. And if they want to push anything, push for 60fps at 1440p. That’s the sweet spot for making great looking games that are super smooth and fun to play.
@GeminiReign I agree that HZD is the better game. However, definitely jump into the sequel when the time is right. It is pretty cool and looks the business. Also Gotham Knights is a good time. Pretty fun city to explore and using the different characters provides some fun variety. I found to be just a fun thing to zone out to.
@GeminiReign this is exactly why I still haven’t picked it up. I had the same issue with the first and i just can’t be bothered. It’s also why I haven’t picked up Spider Man 2 yet. Too much of the same over and over. Alan Wake 2 has been a breath of fresh air. I finished it on Series X a week ago. And I just purchased it again on PS5 and I’m already 10 hours in after three days. It’s so fun and interesting. And nails extruding I love about games. To be fair there is a fair amount of story but it never feels over bearing.
I’m so over super heroes, that I don’t even have any desire to play Spider Man 2. So i don’t think I’ll ever get around to playing this even if it came to Plus essential. But if you are having fun with a video game you purchased, then have at it!
Bouncing between sessions of Alan Wake 2 on Xbox and Robocop on PS5. Really enjoying both games. And then working through a chapter at a time of Breaking points in F1 23. Have a great weekend!
I was away for work this weekend , but I had my switch w me. So made some progress in Mario Wonder. But I got home today and had time to put a couple more hours into Alan wake 2. What game! Have a great weekend!
This weekend I’m trying to get throh Immortals of Aveum. I’m really enjoying it. I don’t understand the hate and lack of sales. It’s exactly the kind of fun refreshing new IP that this gen has been missing. I also picked up Alan Wake 2 on sale. I will jump into that when I’m done with Immortals. Have a great weekend!!
I picked up Immortals if Aviam for $8 on SeriesX. I’m not sure why this game got over looked. So far I’m loving it! I’m now in chapter seven and it’s just a fun and kind of silly FPS but with magic. Actually it’s one of the more interesting games I’ve played this year. At least it’s not a sequel. We all want something new but when a new IP comes out nobody buys it. And we teach developers that all we want are sequels and remakes of the last of us. Definitely check this game out if you get the chance.
@BrotherFilmriss have been considering the same thing for awhile now. I started recently by canceling Game Pass. Just not worth what they want for it anymore. As for plus i might go down to essential as well. I have a big enough back log now, that i practically have my own premium collection anyway.
This week I’ve finally decided to pick up my very old save for SOMA. I’m very near the end. I’llbe glad to get that one off the backlog. Have a great weekend!
My Favorite console of all time is the PS1 followed closely by the PS3. But the PS4 has some truly great games as well. I also played a ton of Indi games on it as well. Just a very solid library.
This is my list of just a few of my favorites. Best PS4 Games Horizon Zero Dawn Death Stranding Resident Evil 2 Remake God of War Gran Turismo Sport Titan Fall 2 Uncharted the Lost Legacy Ghost of Tsushima The Last of Us part 2 Drive Club Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Rise of the Tomb Raider Head Lander Days Gone Yoku’s Island Express Stores: The Path of Destinies
The console is great but this generation of games has been nothing special. My favorite game for the PS5 is still Astros Playroom. Other than that nothing has really taken advantage of the console in an interesting way. It’s still less discounting than the Series X. PS1 and PS3 are still my two all time favorite consoles and libraries ever. I’m still hoping for more great things from PS5 though.
Since the GT7 patch it’s been mostly playing against the new Sophy AI. What a joy to race against! I also blasted through the new weekly challenges. I’m over 100 hours into GT7 and i still can’t get enough of it. And when i need a break I’m actually playing through The Calisto Protocol. I’m really liking it so far. Have a great weekend everyone!
@Jay767 i really think it comes down to the fact that Forza is just so sterile. And GT 7 feels like it has a soul and the people who make it actually care about car culture.
Happy 500th! Push Square! This is the best community I’ve found for gaming. Thank you! This weekend I’m jumping back into Guardians off the Galaxy. Once I finish that I’ll pick up either Spiderman 2 or Alan Wake 2. But I’m also spending quite a bit of time in Forza Motorsport. It’s a good pallet cleanser after a long single player play session. Have a great weekend everyone!
It sure was cool back in the day when Naughty Dog made anything other than TLOU. It’sa good thing there are some good third party games in the pipeline.
Honestly i was actually not a huge fan of the first Spider-Man. I liked it well enough, and did finish it. I actually liked Miles Morales much better. I think it felt more focused and didn’t have all the terrible puzzles and stealth garbage. I’m kind of burned out on Sony’s first party actually. I’ve had to force my way through the few I’ve played. I still have never even played GoW Ragnarok. I’ll be interested to see if this new Spidey game will hit the mark for me.
@somnambulance that’s exactly how I felt about Starfield. It’s not a bad game at all, but I just can’t be bothered with it. And I’ve given it three good long sessions. I’m glad for those that love though.
After I finished Jedi Survivor I replayed Control and Alan Wake to get ready for the sequel. So I’m kind of between things right now. I still pick and push a bit further into Dead Space Remake which is always a fun time. But last night Istarted the timeed free trial for The Crew Motorfest. So far I’m really looking it. I did give my best effort and tried get into Starfield. But like all Bathesda RPG’s I just can’t stick with them. It’s a great game but just not for me. Spider-Man 2 is the one I’m really waiting for. Have a great weekend!
I just finished the Jedi Survivor story. But spent hours yesterday evening just cleaning out things I’ve missed in the different planets. Also picked up the Dead Space Remake on sale. I’ve started that and I’m about two hours in. Still such an amazing game. I’m also running through the Alan Wake Remake to get ready for the sequel. Have s great weekend!
I think I’m just happy to keep replaying all of these on my Vita if i get the urge. Or i can always pop in my 360 copy of the HD collection into the Series X if I want to play 2 and 3 again.
This weekend as well as all this last week has been spent on Jedi Survivor. I think it might be my favorite Star Wars game since I played Knights of the Old Republic on the OG Xbox. And it’s definitely my favorite game I’ve played this year. Have a great weekend!!
