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 ❤️

@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 ❤️

Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Would You Rate Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5?

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
