Just finished DA Veilguard ..loved it, despite some ropey dialogue Gotta help with shopping and pre Xmas stuff or the wife will be in a rage if I just play STALKER 2 all weekend but will sneak in some late night sessions of WOW The War Within which is outstanding. Looking forward to some new Christmas games in Indiana Jones and Helldivers 2 - just hoping i haven't missed the boat on that ! We bought my daughter Astrobot for Xmas so I'll be stealing that when she's not looking 🤣🤣 Merry Christmas to you and all your families guys and gals ❤️🎅
Installed this, played for 40 minutes, uninstalled it and deleted it. Utterly not for me ha ha. Too chaotic and hectic. Think im way too old now lol. It is literally Overwatch with Marvel skins ( but not as good )
STALKER 2 on XBX....a serious GOTY contender for me. An old school, hardcore PC style shooter. It's unbelievably immersive. God knows how Pure Xbox gave it a 4/10 !!?? Will do another run on another XBX GOTY, the gobsmacking Hellblade 2 ....i hope this comes to PS5 for the non Xbox-ers. It's superb. I really want to play Indiana Jones but the Mrs has bought me it for Xmas so I can't aarrgghh. Not a popular opinion here but Xbox has had a great year with the above games along with MS Flight Simulator. Also trying to Plat the amazing DA Veilguard on PS5. Loving the Game whilst tolerating some bad dialogue but overall it's fantastic! Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@ApostateMage ....yeah I love the whole aesthetic of the game. But much to my horror i haven't even started Phantom Liberty yet ! I have this on PS5, XBX and PC so looking forward to more playthroughs on each format. My backlog is just so huge !
@ApostateMage ...I'd say you're definitely the biggest Cyberpunk fan ! ..
I've done 2 playthroughs so far, will do many more. One of the best games of all time. In my top 10 for sure
Heavily into WoW The War Within on PC. This is outstanding, the best WoW expansion since Legion. The new changes such as soloable delves and dungeons is a game changer.
Loving Black Ops 6 too, by far the best CoD in years- fantastic campaign and the multiplayer is as peerless as ever, as long as you ignore the ridiculous skins !
Will continue with the excellent DOA The Veilguard - not far off fully completing it now I think, here's to the Plat popping soon I hope !
I'll also find a bit of time for Diablo 4 Veil of Hatred which is again another stunning expansion. I'll get hated for saying this but ActiBlizz having a good year with the quality of their output
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Lavishturtle .....the games not even out yet !!?? How on earth can you call it crap, you have no idea. Just because it's 1st person doesn't make it a bad game. So are the Uncharted or Tomb Raider crap because they're only in 3rd person? Jeez man, play the game then you can have a relevant opinion
@Paramahansa yeah I think The Avengers story campaign is very good ! Just got sick of smashing crates etc. The multiplayer was ok too, in small doses, had some fun with the DLC characters
@colonelkilgore you must go to bed every night dreaming of strategies to get your next Platinum trophy ha ha. Wish I had those levels of commitment! Or is it OCD lol....(kidding)
Really want to buy a PS5 Pro but my Mrs says she'll divorce me and take the kids.....rushes off to buy PS5 Pro.... Otherwise playing STALKER 2 on XBX. This is a seriously hardcore survival shooter that a lot of reviews don't seem to get ( Pure Xbox) ...yes it needs work but it's so immersive! Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
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 !
