@KilloWertz Haha it's Scottish tradition to support the team that England go up against. Looking forward to rubbing it in my nephew's face from South of the border once France destroy them.
For full disclosure I'm not a football fan, I find it boring but I delight in seeing grown men wearing the English flag in tears π
As well as putting the tree up, I'll be jumping between Tales of Arise and Sonic Frontiers and hoping France put an end to England's world cup hopes tonight.
Hope everyone has a good weekend except England football supporters π
Will COD even still be a thing in 10 years? I don't play them myself. I do have the ones through PS+ but never booted them up, always something more interesting to play.
Getting tired of hearing about these companies fighting over the game.
Looking forward to more HFW, I didn't think the story was bad at all, it certainly wasn't perfect, the bad guys could have been fleshed out more but we knew they were out there from playing the first game, I'd love some DLC and can't wait for the 3rd game
@trev666 Has it really been 15 years since Mass Effect. That is crazy considering I now have 7 soon to be 8 nieces and nephews. 25 year old me had it good just gaming and binge drinking at the weekends. where as now those leeches are taking all my cash, especially at this time of year. Love them really π
@LBIGFELLA didn't know Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart were on PS4.
I'm sure the other games do run just fine. But I'll happily take the non existent loading and graphical options, the Dualsense is a far better pad to play these games with as well.
Patience and the landslide of PS5 only games will come!
Just watching the credits in GoWR what an utterly amazing game, never thought a game about god's beating the crap out of each other could be so beautiful and touching. Best duology in gaming as I played them back to back.
Still plenty to do but I must be around the 70 hour mark with quite a few trophies remaining.
@Luminous117 @ShogunRok Is just excited about a potential new Nier game like the rest of us, to be fair Saito and Taro are working on 2 new games together!
@Korgon that might change once you finish the story but without knowing where you are I'm not so sure. I've spent a large chunk of time just exploring but I entered the final stretch last night!
51 hours in and no problems here. will probably finish the main story this weekend. Really enjoying the sidequests
@Korgon I suppose it depends where you are in the story as that is spectacular and the first game was basically a prologue to what's unfolding in Ragnarok. The side missions are so good they could be games on their own, one realm in particular is just outstanding in my opinion. Combat is improved upon and I'll not say much else as I won't spoil it for anyone and I've yet to finish the game but it's a 10/10 from me!
I put 8 hours into stray and it was fun, perfect length and lovely wee story.
I put 140 hours into Horizon Forbidden west and loved it. Could have fleshed out the "villains" a bit more but excited for the next game with the real villian and more Sylens.
Currently 51 hours into Ragnarok and really want to kill Odin after what just went down and the side content is up there with Forbidden west and Witcher 3 for me.
Meanwhile Elden Ring has sat on the shelf unplayed, Hopefully get to it soon though.
Sorry for the long post but at the end of the day it's all subjective with entertainment. Everyone will feel differently about stories and how long you are doing the same thing for over and over.
As gamers we are all winners unless you are a miserable sod, but it's ok to not like everything and have different opinions. Awards don't mean anything to us they are for the creators!
I'm in an area in the game just now that feels like a game in itself. Sidequests are awesome but I really can't wait to see where the story goes now that I've reached a certain point!
Ragnarok. Absolutely phenomenal, love the whole package just taking my time with it. Action packed from the get go and so many fantastic moments so far. This game has everything. Jaw dropping Boss fights, Jump scares (at least for meπ). Improved combat & traversal quiet moments that make me well up and a rousing score. Having replayed GOW 2018 recently and reading Norse mythology even enhances the game even more so!
I haven't had plus since I moved house back in August, I miss not being able to have matches of Guilty Gear, but I have a huge backlog to get through so no need for it really. Be great if Guilty Gear didn't need plus for online!
I reckon I must be about halfway through the story. Just reached the point where I can push down on the D-pad and it's most likely a 10 unless the story takes a nose dive. Been playing for 30 hours, the side content is superb and exploration and traversal are lots of fun in comparison to the last entry!
@RogerRoger I did see you were enjoying Sonic Frontiers in the forums, will probably pick it up on your recommendation. I've been a Sonic fan since '91.
Got a fair bit played last night and I knew it would be great, but Santa Monica have blown me away and it's only just kicking off for real at the point I've reached!
16 hours into Ragnarok and holy moly is it one hell of an experience.
One of the reasons I love Playstation is for these games you just can't get anywhere else, I enjoy Xbox and Nintendo's offerings and they have wowed me in the past but Sony studios just deliver on all fronts for me.
@Blackbluto Not everyone has to like the same things and that's ok, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with HFW spent over 140 hours playing it and didn't once use fast travel.
On topic played some more of this beautiful game and it certainly deserves it's success. The Devs keep one upping themselves at every corner!
@RogerRoger no need to apologize. It's all good, Hope you are still enjoying Gotham Knights. I am loving it very much just waiting for my wife and niece to go to bed so I can jump back in!
@TrickyDicky99 It must be hard being so miserable all the time. At the end of the day I don't care about sales, I just play what I enjoy.
Going by your logic Sonic, Mario and Masterchief are only household names, because us poor gamers had a gun pointed at our heads as we were forced to buy them alongside the hardware. When in reality we are buying the hardware because of the games!
Can't wait to get settled down infront of the t.v. with snacks maybe a beer or two and the Dualsense. 11 hours in but I've been wandering off the beaten path and doing some sidequests.
@carlos82 I played about 4 hours last night, more of the same and then some. Plenty new things to do in the opening few hours that weren't in the last one.
I went to bed once I reached the first new Location, sucks being an adult and having to go to work sometimes π
I'm loving it so far, put about 4 hours in and already some new mechanics for Traversal, combat and puzzle solving and the handful of big fights I've had are just WOW! No spoilers here but Definitely better than the last game.
@naruball definitely, I cannot wait to get my hands on this. All those armies of people who aren't going to play it because it's a cross gen title(or is that just trickydicky1999 π) will miss out.
@BeerIsAwesome That's a good way to look at it I suppose. A few guys at work only play these games and nothing else, according to them I play weird games π
I guess they are better off only buying one game a year!
