I would love to spend some more time with Ellie and Joel, but my professional life is extremely hectic at the moment. Looking forward to November & December. Good games + more free time = hurrah!
Played the PS4 version and had the PS5 version pre-ordered. I've played about an hour or so and it's beautiful! The opening scene still breaks my heart...
I had a brief go at Gamescom and found it a bit underwhelming, but I didn't get the chance to play for a longer stretch, as the Sega stand had a very long cue. Hope the final game is everything I hope for, as I really love the Sonic universe.
I'm having some gaming friends over, so it will depend on their choices. Smash Bros. and Mario Kart on Switch are sure bets, but I'll introduce them to PS5 as well, as they both have never touched a Dual Sense controller before.
Tomorrow we're leaving for Gamescom. Hopefully we can get our hands on a lot of new stuff!
@Bentleyma Enjoy! This is one of my favourite games of all time, and I have been playing for over 30 years now. I'm planning on going through the whole game again once the first story DLC is released.
Basketball! Playing with some of my teammates at a local 3x3 tournament here in Ghent, Belgium. Luckily they made it an indoor event. The heat is unbearable.
Tonight and tomorrow I'll mop up the final Ghost of Tsushima trophies (at last...) and progress through the fantastic story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on Switch.
@thefourfoldroot1 Amen to that. I can't stand this useless discussion, and the fact that Push Square (still my favorite Playstation site) are fueling it.
Wonderful selection! I already own Yakuza, but the two others have been on my wish list for a while. Next main quest in life: find time to play all these games...
Dreamcast? I'm in! Still such a shame the console failed miserably. Probably my favorite machine of all time: great games library and way ahead of it's time!
My Switch had been gathering dust for a loooong time, until I started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 yesterday. What. A. Game! No idea how they made it look so good without the poor little thing going up in flames. Amazing job by Monolith. Sorry Stray!
Geez. All this nagging. I know a few people who are new to Playstation and never got to enjoy this game the first or second time around. They are really looking forward to playing this masterpiece, and rightly so.
If you don't want to buy this remake, just move along. There's a million games to play out there.
I have been living a catless life for far too long since I'm often away from home for longer periods, but I absolutely adore the little furballs! Got Stray through PS+ Premium, and giving it a try tonight.
Just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake's INTERmission DLC. Can't wait for Rebirth now! I finally reached Act 2 in Ghost of Tsushima just now, and I'll be slashing my way through the main storyline this week. Really interested in Death Stranding and Returnal as well, but I'll try to resist the temptation and tackle them one at the time.
Still playing Ghost of Tushima and Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. Might take a peek at Assissin's Creed Valhalla and some of the smaller PS+ Premium games. Where do I buy more time to play?
Skipping between Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk and FF7R Intergrade at the moment. I would like to start with Elden Ring, but I just don't find the time to play in longer stretches.
Finally found the time to finish Horizon Forbidden West and get the platinum trophy. Starting with the PS5 version of Cyberpunk this weekend (got the platinum on PS4) and switching between that one and Ghost of Tsushima.
A bit of everything this weekend. GT7 is still the main dish, but I have some more time than usual, so I'll be able to throw in some Horizon, Lego Star Wars and Elden Ring in as well.
@whitejessegpfc Thanks! Getting a few gold ones every day, but some are much harder than others. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the rally ones, though. I really can't figure it out. Even silver cups seem impossible with the way I approach these license tests. Hmmm...
Some more GT7: just finished all menu books and had a real blast with that. Going for the gold cup in all license tests now, and it's going quite well. I suck at the rally ones, though...
I'm totally hooked on GT7. Polyphony Digital did so many thinks right with this game. In between races, I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West and the PS5 version of Cyberpunk. I got the platinum on PS4, and I'm doing it again on PS5. Still one of my favourite games of all time, I kid you not.
I also have Elden Ring sitting on my shelf, but that will have to wait. So many great games!
I'd like to sink my teeth into GT7, Elden Ring, HFW, the Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 upgrade and Ghost of Tsushima, but I have absolutely no time to play at all. Argh!
I've earned the platinum trophy in Cyberpunk once, and I'll do it again on PS5. Despite all its flaws, this really is one of my favourite games of all time! I started Horizon first though, I don't have 100 hours to sink into one game at the moment. Great first two hours; can't wait to see the rest!
I'm hoping to finish Act I of Ghost of Tsushima this weekend. Lovely game, but once Horizon arrives next week, the rest op the story will have to wait...
@KidBoruto I have a habit of completing every available side quest before I move on with the story ni games like this, especially when they are as good as they are in Ghost of Tsushima . Normal difficulty is just fine, but I'll keep your advice in mind, thx! Enjoy the final act; I'm about 9 hours in and still in Act I.
Just a few hours into Ghost of Tsushima on PS5, and really loving it so far. Encounterd a bug where had to resart a fight twice now, though. The game just wouldn't register when all adversaries were defeated. Nothing major, but annoying nontheless.
Hopping between titles while waiting for the three big releases coming up. I'll finish the COD Vanguard campaign tomorrow and maybe start Ghost of Tsushima or Uncharted Lost Legacy.
Just finished Kena yesterdag. Short but sweet; really enjoyed it! Maybe I'll dive into the COD Vanguard campaign tonight, and throw in a couple of rounds of SFV.
Took a break from Skyrim to check out Kena and COD Vanguard (campaign). I'm a sucker for WW2 themed games, so I'm quite enjoying COD. Played a few rounds of multiplayer in several modes as well, but after years of Battlefield V, the levels just feel so small and empty.
Kena is everything I expected it to be. Ember Lab poured a lot of love into this one. Wonderful game!
@GorosBat Haha, true! I'm enjoying every second of it, though. Such a shame we won't be seeing Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI on PS platforms. Skyrim and Fallout 3 were my favorite games of the PS3 era, even though they were buggy as hell. Fallout 3 was my first platinum. Fond memories!
Looks amazing, but the frame rate really suffers and there's a lot of screen tearing going on. Would have been nice to see this demo with both a fidelity and frame rate option.
Just got the platinum in Tales of Arise and Mass Effect 3. I was going to start Ghost of Tsushima or Kena, but after 'just checking' the improvements to Skyrim Special Edition, I find myself comlpetely addicted AGAIN. One of my favourite games of all time!
I really loved this game and actually played through all the bugs and crashes to get the platinum trophy, so I hope there will be some new DLC missions in the near future, and you'll be able to import your PS4 save files.

Chun-Li without a beard still looks as good as ever, though .
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 436
Almost got the Platinum in Ghost of Tsushima. I'll be switching between that one and Stray. When I'm done with those, I'll finally start Elden Ring.

Re: Poll: Which PS Plus Tier Are You Subscribed To?

Re: Sonic Frontiers Combat Is Looking Rough in New Gameplay Video
This makes me sad...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 424
Nearing the end in Horizon Forbidden West. I really need more time to play...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 422
The platinum bug has bitten me again. Can't put down Horizon Forbidden West until I have this one in my collection as well.

Two more pages in the GT7 menu book to go. Love this game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 418
GT7 all the way. I might try the GTAV remaster as well, but I'm suffering from a severe case of just-one-more-race-syndrome at the moment.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 407
Someone uninstall Skyrim from my PS5 and hide my disc and credit card. I just can't stop playing this game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 406
Some more Skyrim. Just. One. More. Quest... Argh!
