This game will forever be in my top 10 of all time. Hell, top 3. It's still far far above the likes of modern games and never ages. I'm currently replaying it on XBX and it's still wonderful. There's a 'cinematic mod' for it on PC too, which is well worth checking out
@nessisonett ..I went in Summer 2023. You have to book well in advance. But you're right - I've never seen so many people in 1 place ! Even in the surrounding areas of the Vatican
@Foxx_64740 ..yep I totally agree. I'm not interested in MS, Sony or Nintendo as platforms - I'm just into great games, of which there are lots of them on every platform. I have a PS5, XBX, Switch, PC and a Steam Deck. I couldn't imagine being without any of them.
Imagine never playing a Zelda or Mario game because you had loyalties to Sony
@bighal ...MTXs on CoD alone will rake them in billions alone plus all the revenue from World Of Warcraft subs and MTXs. Not to mention all those PS5 edition sales. This is a long term investment. Surely you didn't expect them to recoup $76bn dollars in 3 months ??
@Eduard_Brenton ...oh and mustn't forget Halo The Masterchief Collection and Halo Infinite. And the Gears of War games, all of em. Simply brilliant still
@colonelkilgore LoS 2 is just OK, big disappointment after the 1st game. Just wait until you do the 'Rat stealth' sections. Good God what were they thinking
Loving Black Ops 6 on GP...the multiplayer really is peerless, with a great array of new maps. Fantastic campaign too Also, I'm around 16 hrs in on DA Veilguard and it's really starting to.open up with new skills and areas. Absolutely loving it - but I understand the criticisms of its character art style. Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Dragon Age Veilguard and only this. About 4 hrs in so far and enjoying it immensely. Superb graphics and I'm playing as an Elf Rogue and the combat is snappy and visceral. Yes I do have a few reservations about the character models and the dialogue is a bit stilted and doesn't quite fit, but overall I'm loving it.
I'll probably do more MMOing with WoW The War Within so by Monday I'll be all fantasy world elved out lol
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Ghostwire Tokyo is awful. Walk around, blast some enemies, pick up collectibles. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. ....once you've played it for 20 minutes, you've pretty much played the whole game
@Balaam_ ....there's bigger issues here than trophies & platinums. Really, are they important ? Do they mean anything ? If there that important to you, you need to ask why you're into gaming
@Ilyn yeah I'm trying to resist the lure of Classic WoW but I know I'll cave at some point.
But the general consensus is is the TWW expansion is more solo friendly with bots for groups, solo delves etc, but I'm not that far in as yet. I played for 10 yrs from launch day back in '04, believe me that was much more hardcore. Nowadays I think it's as life sapping and hardcore as you want it to be
Enjoy !
Got back from travelling in Europe just last weekend so itching to get back into gaming !
Finished Ratchet and Clank PS4 fun but forgettable and dropped Immortals Of Aveum after 7 hrs. The epitomy of meh.
Started Black Ops 6 on GP last night, superb so far. Great campaign and the usual peerless multilayer. Enjoying Star Wars Outlaws too, about 9 hrs in so far, though it has many flaws. Also been playing the fantastic Space Marine 2 ...multiplayer and only 2 levels of the campaign
But I stupidly bought World of Warcraft The War Within expansion and I can see it taking over my life ! Nnoooo I thought I was out ....
Also added Silent Hill 2, Dead Rising Remaster, Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion to the backlog !
What a great time to be a gamer eh ?
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@AfroMario they'll hardly go broke lol. This will more than likely be the best selling game this year, like every year and earn them hundreds of millions in MTX's
Take a leaf out of your sister site Pure Xbox, Push Square and report the facts in a proper way, rather than trying to incite outraged gamers and gain clicks.
This is in no way as bad as it seems if you give the whole story and print the full article
One of the best games in the last 10 yrs ! Just brilliant. Looking forward to these DLCs...forgot I bought the premium edition, didn't even realise I could play these lol. Weekend sorted
@naruball yeah I get that. But my opinion comes from me playing the game and those opinions forming as im playing it. It was ok, fun in parts but like in my original comment it was a crushing disappointment for me purely because of the writing and game design. But I totally get why others like it
@Amnesiac ....baffling. So if it was 10 hrs of Spidey just swinging and traversing around, that would've made a phenomenal game ?
And "could have" not "could of"
@RBMango totally agree. That was my original point. Why was everybody so nice all the time ? Always saying the perfect thing. No edginess or dark vibes to it at all
@naruball it was super polished, great graphics and the traversal was fantastic. I have no issues with MM at all, I read the comics when he was first introduced and the Spider Verse movies are stunning. But SM2 the game was so bland and dull with lame characters due to the writing. I wanted it to be so much more
@LavenderShroud ...but his symbiote voice sounded like my little nephew trying to be angry 🤣 it did have some fun elements but overall I was so disappointed
I thought it was a HHUUGGE disappointment. Terrible writing and characters - why is everybody so nice all the time ? The dialogue is pure pre teen cringe. Peters voice when he wears the dark suit is beyond cringe. Peters Parker is such a limp, wet lettuce of a character, not to mention the even more cringey "Danicasts".
The side quests are ridiculous- no I don't want to walk 5 miles following your grandads inhaler scent, thank you. The quest that has you playing the deaf girl tagging graffiti is ridiculous- just let us be Spiderman !! And I don't want to solve a random crime 2 minutes after doing the last one.
And since when was playing a Spidey character akin to almost being an ultra powerful Jedi Knight ?
Players hated the Mary Jane stealth sections in the first game so instead of taking that feedback on board they introduce more .."but hey, this time let's give her a weapon ! Awesome! "
So yeah I didn't like it much ...5/10

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 553

@colonelkilgore ...I admire your dedication ! I do do a lot of trophy hunting but give up when.it comes to collectibles and grinding

Re: Sony's Guerrilla Sounds Completely Done with the Killzone Series
Loved KZ 2 & 3, the class based multiplayer was fantastic!
But the Shadowfall campaign was mediocre at best, had no chance against the likes of CoD
