Between Metal Hellsinger, Proteus, MotoGP and Tinykin, this is a great month (for me, at least). GTA 5 and Stranger in Paradise I already own, but both are still good games!
Its pretty good, but I ended up starting over after I had to cheese the Act 1 end boss fight. Now that I understand the mechanics, it's going better so far. No major glitches, one time I had to replay a fight as one of the enemies ran thru a wall and became untargetable.
2 Yakuza games, I like it! And with Infinite Wealth next month, we LAD fans are eating good right now. I gotta get the platinum for Gaiden, seems really easy compared to the other games.
Welp, I can't continue my career in WRC23 due to Thursday's patch breaking the game for everyone, so I guess it's more Rogue Trader (which got a big 12 gig patch yesterday) and Cookie Cutter.
I'll be playing this tomorrow, my first Owlcat game on launch and I'm expecting it to be pretty buggy. It's fine though, I'll just make sure I have plenty of backup saves. Considering I got it for $40 for console thru their site helped as well.
Yup, more WRC23 and Aliens: Dark Descent. Aliens is pretty tough at the beginning, but at least you can pause the game when giving orders, I think you couldn't when it first came out. Medium difficulty is no joke. The game only autosaves and that's usually after a major objective is completed or right before a tough fight. You can also weld the doors in some rooms to make a shelter where you can lower stress levels and that will save the game as well, also by just riding in the elevator to a different floor triggers the save too. I'm only on the 2nd mission after 9 hours. This game can really piss me off sometimes but I just can't stay mad and retry in an hour or so, lol.
That's a bummer, but good for them for delaying it instead of shipping a broken game. I really liked the first game, was surprising to play a Warhammer game that was actually great.
US store has been giving me errors for the last 90 minutes. Can't claim anything thru the app, the button that's either purchase or download is saying "Try again" for everything, even stuff I already own. Had to go thru the store on the console to claim, and that would give me an error the first time I try it, then work afterwards. Weird.
Ok. It's working now
It's gonna be BG3, no doubt. It's made minor celebrities of the actors, like 97% on Metacritic, it even made it into South Park. BG3 is too big to not be game of the year.
It's really good. I didn't play much of the Dirt games, but I have over 35 hours in this so far. Tearing hasn't happened today, it was really noticeable before the patch when I raced in Greece. Just started season year 2.
Very happy with it, especially the loading times. Graphics have come so far its hard for me to notice improvements, mostly the smaller things stand out like water reflections, things like that. And the controller is amazing. Playing Wrc23 with one is like an arcade experience from back in the day.
It's definitely a "not for me" game. I used to like the huge epic games, but the Playstation mega budget games bore me. Especially when it seems they underestimate their player base with overexplaining every puzzle and basically telling you the solution. That sucks.
I could see if there was a new Tintin movie or show coming out this week, and not wanting to delay due to that. But as far as I know (which isn't much) there isn't. So yeah, this looks bad.
All you need to know is Kiyru has never killed anyone, ever. Even after shooting people multiple times, beating them with a brick or stabbing them with a knife, they are always fine. Always.
@ShogunRok How big was the install on the PS5? The pc version is listed as 86 gigs but I realize that some of that is due to the demo for Infinite Wealth being included.
Robocop and Little Goodie Two Shoes, for goodness sake! Really liking Robocop so far, I keep saying "Nuke" in a low voice every time I find some. It's a little rough, but nothing a patch can't fix. Playing in quality mode and getting some slowdown in cutscenes, not gameplay though.
Wasn't gonna get this til next week but after all the reviews, I ended up "restructuring" my finances and got it today. Just finished installing and I'm going to check it out in around 4 hours. I can't wait!!
Hearing that this is incredible doesn't surprise me at all. I have complete faith in Remedy and anything they release. Guaranteed purchase once I get paid next week.

I have to agree with Jaffe. I've only played half of 2018 but when it wanted me to go pick flowers was when I gave up.

I actually forgot they were doing this. Fallout 4 running above 30fps on console sure will feel different.

Re: Alone in the Dark Delayed Once More, Now Out in March 2024
Alone in the Dark seems like a cursed title. Every reboot they tried has failed, will this be the one to finally break that curse? Probably not.
Re: Holstin's Unique Camera System Offers a Fresh Perspective on Survival Horror

A middling open world game from Ubisoft?!? I don't believe it!
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2023?
Aliens: Dark Descent for #1. No option for WRC23 but I'll still rank it #2.

Re: Magical PS5 FPS Immortals of Aveum Is Probably Coming to PS Plus at Some Point
I'd definitely give it a shot if it hits ps+. Not sure if it was a game I'd buy on sale eventually but being on the service, that's appealing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 503
WRC23 and Dying Light 2. And some Elder Scrolls Online as well.
Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2023?
