Hi there fellow gamers. This kinda of choice is the most difficult one I have ever had to do. @ShogunRok you devil 😜 So I´m going to cheat 😉 Liara T´soni will always be my bae, my girl, my blue beauty. Tali is the cute little sister who can´t handle a drink and Urdnot Wrex is the crazy uncle with the cool stories. Then we have Grunt, our tank bred cousin who likes to bash some heads, Samara, the righteous old aunt that wants us to just and Thane Krios, the cool and quiet fiend that likes to stay in a corner. Zaeed Massani is the paranoid one, always looking for traps. Ashley Williams is the military woman alongside Kaidan Alenko, the L2 biotic soldier. Kasumi Goto is always invisible and, so be careful when you think you are alone..... Cause you might not be.... Miranda Lawson is the cold cheerleader who is always fighting with Jack, the dangerous, but actualy kind woman, with Jacob Taylor in the middle, all biotics, trying to make peace. Mordin is the doctor on cafeine, who loves to sing and Legion is so much more than just 1183 geth programs..... But only when you get to know "it". James Vega is the one that is always talking about his muscles, because he´s proud of them with Javik, the cold uncle whos always making fun of him..... And of everyone really. Just like cousin Edi does with Joker. EVERY TIME. But, if there can be only one, then I have to choose my man, my brother in arms Garrus Vakarian, who can often be found calibrating some piece of equipment to a point that even a synthetic would be surprised. I love this crew so much, their like family. Bioware really struck gold with this trilogy series. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Sackgirl Selene you say? i might just pause my 7th mass Effect playtrough and go back to Sackboy: A Big Adventure and break the damn cicle. From one hardcore game to another. Selene doesn´t get a break She looks adorable by the way. Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy gaming to us all
@RaZieLDaNtE Hi there friend.
I was finally able to get the game today and OMG.....
Playing this on my PS5 and I didn´t even know the first game could become even more phenomenal.
The particle effects, the glorious 60 fps and good the shooting feels......
But when that intro with the theme song kicked in and you see the game Title...... I had the biggest smile on my face 😊
Nostalgia is hitting pretty hard on me. And it´s a good feeling.
I think the Platinum for Returnal is gonna have to wait a little while longer 😜
Cheers, stay safe and all the best
@TraCuz- Absolutely. MGS as influenced many other videogames for sure. The story is so unique, so confusing, so bonkers and so interesting that is hard to fing anything like it. Amazing gaming saga, just like Mass Effect and Legacy of Kain Oh and there is only four Metal Gear Solid games. Six with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Nothing else matters, just like the song 😜 Cheers, stay safe and all the best
@TraCuz- Hi there friend.
I mean, after I was able to beat the game and learn on how to play it properly, yes I can now play in a more relaxed way.
But at first? I was doubthing my gaming skills for a bit 😜
The game is challenging for sure and demands a lot from the player.
When it clicks with you? It´s a thing of beauty I tell you.
Super addicting and NO LOADING SCREENS whatsoever.
MGS4 you say. A person of good taste I see.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@ApostateMage Hi there firend "I must have restarted Mass Effect about 4 times before I was happy with my Femshep. I do that every bloody time I play it." Completely relatable. I spend almost an hour just making my Male Shep look like myself as much as possible and my Fem Shep as beautiful as possible.... So they dont know she a bloody renegade who thirsts for the blood of her enemies 😜 Enjoy your awesome Bioware jorney. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Long time. Tell me someting, Is Shadow of War as good as Shadow of Mordor? Cause i only played Mordor and all the microtransactions kinda bummed me out of it. Second Son is pretty good. It was my first PS4 platinum trophy and had a lot of fun with it. Also one of the best PS4 showcase games, in my oppinion. And do yourself a favour and when you can embark on one of the most amazing videogame space operas ever created. Join the Alliance soldier, the Normandy waits you. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@roe Hi there friend. Yep, that´s also me alright. When a game just clicks, it stays with you. Not just videogames, mind you. But yeah, Returnal is THAT good. Had an amazing first act run, hunting for the "real ending" and was able to beat all 3 Biomes, Bosses included. Absolutely fantastic game. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@LordSteev Hi there friend. I know the feeling all to well. Man, it´s so great when people just get what were saying without mentioning much. Nostalgia is going to be strong on this one for me, I´m sure. Only on monday for me though. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. This weekend is all about the Guilty gear Strive second open beta and some Returnal for relaxation. Having completed, in my oppinion, Housemarque´s masterpiece, I´m now going for the secret ending and the biome surveys for the platinum. Man do I love this game so much! Played for like 5 hours into GG beta with Chipp and it was a blast..... Besides all the Rams and Gios and now Anjis..... Great! Next it´s going to be Ky and probably Nago for some blood attack shenanigans. The lobby is better, not great, but better. Mass Effect will be next monday. Who needs real life friends when you have the Normandy crew? 😜 Kidding..... Or am I? 😉 Cheers, stay safe, stay well good people and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. I´m buying it next monday (low on money and such), but I can´t wait to go back to the Citadel and see my old crew again. Having played the trilogy six times (3 on Xbox 360 and 3 on PS3) some years ago, its gonna be fun experience again one of my favourite gaming sagas of all time. And for those who are getting it for the very first time, you are in for a awesome treat I´ll tell you. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. For me, personaly, it´s an outstanding 10/10 game. I have already reached the Sixth Biome and it´s weird and interesting at the same time. I´m really digging the story they are trying to tell and I´m slowly puting the pieces of the puzzle together. Like many have said, the gun play is awesome, the level and environmental design is fantastic, great enemy design, super fun weapons to play and it has that MetroidVania feell to it that I truly enjoy. Completely worth the full price (even though I didn´t pay full price, but I did bought it day one) It is, in my oppinion, Housemarque Masterpiece. If you love these type of games, like challenging but rewarding gameplay mechanics and an interesting mistery to unravel, this is the game for you, has it is for me. Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. I´ve been playing Returnal almost every single day and had two craches. One on a really good run on the second Biome and another in a Boss fight. Fortunately it was a Boss I had already beaten, so not much of a fuss. Also had a door not open due to the pre-order outfit on a daily challenge run. Other than that, no more issues, thankfully. Finally beat the fifth Biome and now exploring the sixth. Not what I expected. And the story is getting pretty interesting. The plot thickens and the mistery is slowly unfolding. Also follow @KippDynamite, @OmegaStriver and @Constable_What advices. Play it carefuly, time your dodges and learn to dodge forward trough the bullets and be always on the move. Use melee often, it´s a one hit kill on all small enemies. And try to always get the Astronaut figurine with you. Hope it helps. Man do I love this game a lot more than I thought I would. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@kyleforrester87 Hi there friend. If Big Boss himself is going for a challenge, who am I for not suporting 😉 A good challenge for an ever better cause. I salute you and widh you all the best in this endeavor your going to undertake. Cheers, stay safe, stay well and healthy, train hard but with intervals, always see the finish line and keep up the spirit 👍
Hi there fellow gamers. This weekend is all about PS5. I´m still in Atropos, seing Selene die and die again on the fifth Biome..... At least I´m leveling up my weapon traits and I´m getting better each run. So there is that. Might beat it this Saturday though. Going for some Outriders Expeditions with friends in co-op. Gotta get that sweet loot. And more Devil May Cry Special Edition for some relaxation. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Boy, it´s already monday, time just flies sometimes. This weekend was all about Returnal...... And maybe an hour of Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition 😜 Returnal is as good and as challenging as I hoped it would be. And it´s great, addictive fun all the way. Some good runs, some not so good, others really bad and a few really good. It´s the nature of the game. Explore, Kill, Die, Repeat. Was able to beat the second Boss first try and am now on the third Biome. Still learning and getting better and better each run. The game is a blast. Cheers, stay safe good people and I hope you all had a great and happy gaming weekend
Hi there fellow gamers. "Are you sold on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?" YES! Now more than before. That is all. So many good games and so little time...... Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
@ShogunRok Hi there friend. Absolutely. I kinda felt some weird withdrawals from not being able to play more GG Strive. It´s so good. Hopping they made some necessary changes to some characters, like Chipp, one of my mains, that clearly needs some buffs. It´s going to be fun fighting more Rams and Gios....... And I-no shenanigans now....... Fun times ahead 😉 Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. A Marvel fighting game from NetherRealm? As good as Injustice 2 in terms of storytelling and comic book accuracy? By all means, YES! If they can and want, absolutely. But can we also get Injustice 3 as well? I´m kinda curious to see what new characters we could see and the feud between Supes and Bats. And then MK12 one day, wich will probably be either a reboot or maybe a prequel and going to the Great kung Lau story. Who knows. But yeah, Marvel fighting game. Neat. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Even though there are somethings that could be a little better, like the impact sounds of the charaters weapons hits and clashes, My Goodness, this looks stunning and it is not just "graphics". The fluidity of the animations, the HUGE combo paths you can do, the particle effects and how the combat with the first Boss they showed, actualy looked like a Duel between two powerful warriors with one, the Boss, clearly measuring his opponent, the main character, and both not showing their true power, just yet. Now, THIS, this is a power fantasy game if I ever saw one. Can´t wait for the official reveal of this game as a PS5 tittle whenever it´s ready. Kudos to Yang and his team and keep up the good work. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@Flaming_Kaiser @Kidfried @Voltan Hi there friends. Games being kinda expensive are not new by any means. I still remember going to a videogame store with my Mom when I was a kid and ask for a brand new game for my Mega Drive. And there it was, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie in 1995. Wanna know how much the game cost? 16000 Escudos (Portugal currency) wich means....... Yes, you guessed it, 80€!!! For Power Rangers no less. And I loved it. So yeah, nothing new in that department. The only thing that really matters is how much fun and enjoyment we get form these gaming experiences. Cheers, stay safe and all the best
@Kidfried Hi there friend. I agree with you, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross both are two awesome rpgs of old times. CT was one of my first rpgs alonside with Story of thor (Beyond Oasis), Final Fantasy IV, Suikoden and Light Crusader. These are the games made me fall in love with the rpg genre. Would love to see more of them in the future...... Wishful thinking probably. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@Chryssy75 Hi there friend. Yeah, not the best controls, but still pretty great, especially during that time period of the PS2 era. Besides from having to lean on the wall to recover from bullet wounds, everything else was pretty realistic in a way. It was kinda awesome. Why I would love to see the IP coming back from the grave. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@Flaming_Kaiser Returnal just speaks to me and Housemarque hasn´t made a game I haven´t ejoyed yet so I´m all in on this one. And Metal Gear Survive does not exist and can´t hurt you 😜 Cheers, stay safe and all the best friend
Hi there fellow gamers. I finally decided to play Spiderman Remastered on PS5 with my PS4 save file and started a new game plus on hard mode and man, the 60 fps ray trace mode makes such a difference as I am playing. Plus having everything unlocked, including the amazing outfits, just makes the game even more fun for me. Then on PC I´m playing more fighting games like Killer Instinct, Under Night and Mortal Kombat 11, since I watched the MK 2021 movie last night. It´s pretty good actualy. Finally on Switch I´ve decided to take a break from Bravely Default 2 to go back to Bayonetta for some wicked portable whooping 😉 Cheers, stay safe, folks and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Like some have already mentioned, the PS line up is vast with different kinds of games. Quantity, variety and quality, at least in my oppinion. Games like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us Part 2, Dreams, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Demon´s Souls, Astro´s Playroom, Gran Turismo 7, Rachet and Clank: Rift Appart, Returnal. The list goes on and on. And I cannot wait for the last three examples I just gave, as well as Deathloop, Forspoken and kena: Bridge of Spirits to name a few. Soooooo yeah. What exactly people are complaining again? 😉 Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
@Flaming_Kaiser Hi there friend. It might sound insane, but way back when, I got my copy of Tekken Tag Tornament 3 weeks before my parents bought me a PS2. I didn´t know if I would get one, but I still decided to purchased the game since I was very excited to play and I´m a Tekken fan since Tekken 2. So your not alone on your so called "insanity". Cause I´m one as well 😜 Hope you can get your PS5 as soon as possible so you can play Returnal and all the other awesome games that the system as and will have in the future. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@TheDudeElDuderino Hi there friend. If I may just give you my oppinion, there are rogue likes who can be very time consuming, because it does not seem that you´ve made any kind of progress. Fortunately, there are some who do reward the player just for going for "another run". A game like Hades is a good example of this: in every run I´ve had of that game, i got more of the characters and the story as well. Also, I was getting some permanent upgrades, like doing more damage, having more health, getting more items and unlocking more different weapons for me to try. And get this, there are no repetitive dialogue whatsoever. Not one! I´m still amazed by that honestly. The gameplay is really engaging and it´s fun to uncover the story. Plus the soundtrack is brilliant. I highly recomended it. And Returnal really feels like the perfect evolution of an arcade shooter it how it´s being made. Just my two cents. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. 56.101GB???? Wow, that is a bit more than I was expecting. By a LOT. Gonna have to delete a game or two 😜 Hope you guys who preload the game have it as quickly and as soon as possible on your PS5s. I´ll be getting mine physical copy on launch day. Can´t wait for next Friday. Cheers, stay safe good folks and happy gaming to us all
@roe Hi there friend. That is what i´ve been wanting since Blood Monday. Loved both games on PS2. It would be awesome to see the series make a comeback. Sony has way to many gems that are in need of returning in my oppinion. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. This looks really good. And that combat system though.... Stylish, cool and precise. Just the way I like it. Man, I miss playing Tales of games. I played last Xillia with Milla Maxwell and it was pretty good. Can´t wait to play Arise on my PS5 on September. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers.
This looks pretty good.
And the combat system looks super fun and engaging.
Man, I miss playing Tales of games.
The last one was Xillia, wich was ages ago.
Can´t wait to play Arise on my PS5 on September.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Thank you @Quintumply for the preview and for the HYPE! I want this game and I will get it DAY ONE! April 30th can´t come soon enough. Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Do yourselves a favour and buy............ Never mind, just download this gem of a game 😜 It´s one of the BEST PS4 titles and the on of the Best open world action rpg of all time. As much as I love Ghost of Tsushima, and I really do love it, Horizon: Zero Dawn will always be THE GAME that made me fall in love with this Playstation generation. Cheers, stay safe folks and happy open world gaming to us all
@Flaming_Kaiser Hi there friend. Yes, give me a Dino Crisis Remake over Resident Evil 4 any day. Oh, and Song of Horror looks pretty interesting to. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
@ApostateMage Hi there friend. That joke gets me every time in Mass Effect 2. The Krogan are such an adorable species. But the Assari though. Like James said in ME3: "A planet full of Blue beauties". Who wouldnt want to live there? 😉 Can´t wait to cry, laugh and cheer with the whole squad again. Cheers, stay safe good folks and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. I will definitely go for the Platinum as I tend to for most games I really enjoy. However, It is true that some of them have been kinda easy to say the least. The way I see it, trophies are essentialy another reason, or excuse, to either play the game some more, finish the game again, complete all quests and maybe get all the collectables (because those can be quite anoying). It is basicaly rewarding the player to fully explore the game. But in terms of difficulty, in a way, it depends on the game. An example: my first Platinum was the original Dead Space. I enjoyed the game so much that i wanted to do everything in the game and play the game again. But what made me go for the third time was the challenge of doing two trophies at the same time. Finish the game on Impossible difficulty...... But with only the initial weapon of the game, the Plasma Cutter. I loved playing the game like that. It made me have a different apreciation of the Plasma Cutter and had to use every game mechanic to survive and beat the game. And it was an awesome experience. I´m not saying every game should have difficulty atached trophies, but some of them can be quite fun to get. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
@Odium Hi there friend. I´m very much excited to play Returnal. I really wanted a Vanquish sequel, but alas, no dice from Sega. And as for the story, I would say SuperGiant games was able to make Hades a phenomenal rogue-like story wise, so fingers crossed for Returnal being even more engrossing. Cheers, stay safe and all the best
@djdizzy Hi there friend. Control is such a good game and the Ultimate edition on PS5 is even better. There is quite a few secrets and some nods to their other games as well. Excited to see what Remedy makes next on PS5. And super excited for Returnal. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@Odium Hi there friend.
Well said!
I am so excited to play this game, because it looks so freakin cool.
It does give me that vibe like it´s a mix between Vanquish and Control, but on steroids. And that is saying something.
Can´t wait for April 30th to shoot my way and dodge like crazy trough enemies, discovering all the mysteries of Atropos and learning more about Selene and her possible relation with the planet and their lost, clumbled civilization.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Hi there fellow gamers. My comment was way to long, I was rambling a bit to much, that´s true, so I´m just going to say this on this matter. I enjoyed Days Gone a lot. More than I thought I was going to. I bought the collectors edition of the game on launch week, but only played the game a few months later. Not because of initial bugs, but only because I was playing Devil May Cry 5 and Sekiro: Shadows Die twice at the moment. And loving them both so much. I am probably one of the very few people that liked the main character of the game, Deacon St John and the other characters as well, wich I won´t mention their names because of spoilers. I tought it was a very good open world post-apocaliptic zombi game. I enjoyed the narrative, most of the cast and the dialogues between them. I think it was because they felt like real people with their reasons, feelings, motivations and flaws. It was like they were characters written for a really good tv show. Some say it´s to long of a game. Not for me though. There is a moment in the game when I felt it was closer to ending and then I was like: "wait, there´s more of this game? Cool! I wonder what else are they gonna trow at me and what else am I going to experience". And with that being said, and especialy with how the game kinda ends in a cliffhanger, it´s sad if there won´t be a sequel to this game and it´s story. We know that Bend studio is making another game and I hope it´s good, whatever it is. Maybe it´s a Syphon Filter game, a reboot of some sort or a Socom game with a strong narrative singleplayer experience, with some co-op in the mix. But can we get a Days Gone 2 as well? A even better looking game, running smothly on PS5, with some fine tunned gameplay mechanics, with even more ways to deal with the freaker hordes and a follow up to the story? Pretty please Sony? Maybe one day we will. Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy gaming experiences to us all around this big old world of ours
Hi there fellow gamers. This weeken will be a little different. Since I was able to finish and Platinum Outriders, Trickster Class on PS5, I´ll probably create a new character and go for the Pyromancer Class and mess around the End Game Expeditions with some friends. Also I´m playing two fighting games on PC:
The King of Fighters XIII. Best looking KOF;
Chaos Code. Really good game. Shame about the sequel; And last, but not least, more Bravely Default 2 on Switch. Chapter 4 now. Like I said before, slowly but steady. PS: I´m also going back to Sackboy a Big Adventure on PS5. Love how much joy I get from that game. Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers.
In all my years as a gamer, I have played many awesome games and sagas and the Mass Effect saga is still my absolut favourite alongside MGS saga.
It´s unbelivable how Bioware was able to make such an ambitious and colossal task of creating this trilogy where the player can experience a space opera like no other game or medium was able to achive, in my oppinion.
Going for the seventh time and probably the eight time completing the whole trilogy again.
It´s gaming experiences like this that I live for as a gamer.
"Anyone who fights us is either stupid or on Saren´s payroll. Killing the latter is buisiness. Killing the former is a favour to the universe" Urdnot Wrex 😂
God I LOVE this series and these characters so much.
Cheers, stay safe good folks and happy gaming to us all
Hi there fellow gamers. Soul Sacrifice Delta and Super Stardust Delta are absolutely fantastic Vita games. They are both fun, engaging, addicting and challenging. Get them while you still can. Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all

Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Mass Effect Legendary Edition Squadmate?
Hi there fellow gamers.
This kinda of choice is the most difficult one I have ever had to do. @ShogunRok you devil 😜
So I´m going to cheat 😉
Liara T´soni will always be my bae, my girl, my blue beauty.
Tali is the cute little sister who can´t handle a drink and Urdnot Wrex is the crazy uncle with the cool stories.
Then we have Grunt, our tank bred cousin who likes to bash some heads, Samara, the righteous old aunt that wants us to just and Thane Krios, the cool and quiet fiend that likes to stay in a corner.
Zaeed Massani is the paranoid one, always looking for traps.
Ashley Williams is the military woman alongside Kaidan Alenko, the L2 biotic soldier.
Kasumi Goto is always invisible and, so be careful when you think you are alone..... Cause you might not be....
Miranda Lawson is the cold cheerleader who is always fighting with Jack, the dangerous, but actualy kind woman, with Jacob Taylor in the middle, all biotics, trying to make peace.
Mordin is the doctor on cafeine, who loves to sing and Legion is so much more than just 1183 geth programs..... But only when you get to know "it".
James Vega is the one that is always talking about his muscles, because he´s proud of them with Javik, the cold uncle whos always making fun of him..... And of everyone really. Just like cousin Edi does with Joker. EVERY TIME.
But, if there can be only one, then I have to choose my man, my brother in arms Garrus Vakarian, who can often be found calibrating some piece of equipment to a point that even a synthetic would be surprised.
I love this crew so much, their like family.
Bioware really struck gold with this trilogy series.

@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Long time.
Tell me someting, Is Shadow of War as good as Shadow of Mordor? Cause i only played Mordor and all the microtransactions kinda bummed me out of it.
Second Son is pretty good. It was my first PS4 platinum trophy and had a lot of fun with it. Also one of the best PS4 showcase games, in my oppinion.
And do yourself a favour and when you can embark on one of the most amazing videogame space operas ever created.
Join the Alliance soldier, the Normandy waits you.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 376
@roe Hi there friend.
Yep, that´s also me alright.
When a game just clicks, it stays with you.
Not just videogames, mind you.
But yeah, Returnal is THAT good.
Had an amazing first act run, hunting for the "real ending" and was able to beat all 3 Biomes, Bosses included.
Absolutely fantastic game.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 376
@LordSteev Hi there friend. I know the feeling all to well.

Only on monday for me though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 376
Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about the Guilty gear Strive second open beta and some Returnal for relaxation.
Having completed, in my oppinion, Housemarque´s masterpiece, I´m now going for the secret ending and the biome surveys for the platinum. Man do I love this game so much!
Played for like 5 hours into GG beta with Chipp and it was a blast..... Besides all the Rams and Gios and now Anjis..... Great!
Next it´s going to be Ky and probably Nago for some blood attack shenanigans.
The lobby is better, not great, but better.
Mass Effect will be next monday. Who needs real life friends when you have the Normandy crew? 😜 Kidding..... Or am I? 😉
Cheers, stay safe, stay well good people and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
Hi there fellow gamers.
I´m buying it next monday (low on money and such), but I can´t wait to go back to the Citadel and see my old crew again.
Having played the trilogy six times (3 on Xbox 360 and 3 on PS3) some years ago, its gonna be fun experience again one of my favourite gaming sagas of all time.
And for those who are getting it for the very first time, you are in for a awesome treat I´ll tell you.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Returnal?
Hi there fellow gamers.
For me, personaly, it´s an outstanding 10/10 game.
I have already reached the Sixth Biome and it´s weird and interesting at the same time.
I´m really digging the story they are trying to tell and I´m slowly puting the pieces of the puzzle together.
Like many have said, the gun play is awesome, the level and environmental design is fantastic, great enemy design, super fun weapons to play and it has that MetroidVania feell to it that I truly enjoy.
Completely worth the full price (even though I didn´t pay full price, but I did bought it day one)
It is, in my oppinion, Housemarque Masterpiece.
If you love these type of games, like challenging but rewarding gameplay mechanics and an interesting mistery to unravel, this is the game for you, has it is for me.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
Re: Returnal Patch 1.3.6 Available Now on PS5, Fixes Lots of Common Issues and Crashes
Hi there fellow gamers.
I´ve been playing Returnal almost every single day and had two craches.
One on a really good run on the second Biome and another in a Boss fight. Fortunately it was a Boss I had already beaten, so not much of a fuss.
Also had a door not open due to the pre-order outfit on a daily challenge run. Other than that, no more issues, thankfully.
Finally beat the fifth Biome and now exploring the sixth.
Not what I expected. And the story is getting pretty interesting.
The plot thickens and the mistery is slowly unfolding.
Also follow @KippDynamite, @OmegaStriver and @Constable_What advices.
Play it carefuly, time your dodges and learn to dodge forward trough the bullets and be always on the move. Use melee often, it´s a one hit kill on all small enemies. And try to always get the Astronaut figurine with you. Hope it helps.
Man do I love this game a lot more than I thought I would.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 375
Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about PS5.
I´m still in Atropos, seing Selene die and die again on the fifth Biome..... At least I´m leveling up my weapon traits and I´m getting better each run. So there is that. Might beat it this Saturday though.
Going for some Outriders Expeditions with friends in co-op. Gotta get that sweet loot.
And more Devil May Cry Special Edition for some relaxation.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 374
Hi there fellow gamers.
Boy, it´s already monday, time just flies sometimes.
This weekend was all about Returnal...... And maybe an hour of
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition 😜
Returnal is as good and as challenging as I hoped it would be.
And it´s great, addictive fun all the way.
Some good runs, some not so good, others really bad and a few really good. It´s the nature of the game.
Explore, Kill, Die, Repeat.
Was able to beat the second Boss first try and am now on the third Biome.
Still learning and getting better and better each run.
The game is a blast.
Cheers, stay safe good people and I hope you all had a great and happy gaming weekend

Re: Guilty Gear Strive Second Open Beta Hits in May, Has Online and Offline Modes, All Characters Playable
@ShogunRok Hi there friend.
Absolutely. I kinda felt some weird withdrawals from not being able to play more GG Strive. It´s so good.
Hopping they made some necessary changes to some characters, like Chipp, one of my mains, that clearly needs some buffs.
It´s going to be fun fighting more Rams and Gios....... And I-no shenanigans now....... Fun times ahead 😉

Re: Mortal Kombat Dev Rumoured to Be Working on Marvel Fighter
Hi there fellow gamers.
A Marvel fighting game from NetherRealm?
As good as Injustice 2 in terms of storytelling and comic book accuracy?
By all means, YES! If they can and want, absolutely.
But can we also get Injustice 3 as well? I´m kinda curious to see what new characters we could see and the feud between Supes and Bats.
And then MK12 one day, wich will probably be either a reboot or maybe a prequel and going to the Great kung Lau story.
Who knows. But yeah, Marvel fighting game. Neat.

Re: Lost Soul Aside Returns with 17 Minutes of Gameplay Action
Hi there fellow gamers.
Even though there are somethings that could be a little better, like the impact sounds of the charaters weapons hits and clashes,
My Goodness, this looks stunning and it is not just "graphics".
The fluidity of the animations, the HUGE combo paths you can do, the particle effects and how the combat with the first Boss they showed, actualy looked like a Duel between two powerful warriors with one, the Boss, clearly measuring his opponent, the main character, and both not showing their true power, just yet.
Now, THIS, this is a power fantasy game if I ever saw one.
Can´t wait for the official reveal of this game as a PS5 tittle whenever it´s ready.
Kudos to Yang and his team and keep up the good work.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Re: Even Returnal's Fast Travel Animation Is Impressive
@Flaming_Kaiser @Kidfried @Voltan Hi there friends.
Games being kinda expensive are not new by any means.
I still remember going to a videogame store with my Mom when I was a kid and ask for a brand new game for my Mega Drive.
And there it was, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie in 1995.
Wanna know how much the game cost? 16000 Escudos (Portugal currency) wich means....... Yes, you guessed it, 80€!!!
For Power Rangers no less. And I loved it.
So yeah, nothing new in that department.
The only thing that really matters is how much fun and enjoyment we get form these gaming experiences.
Cheers, stay safe and all the best
Re: Even Returnal's Fast Travel Animation Is Impressive
@Kidfried Hi there friend.
I agree with you, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross both are two awesome rpgs of old times.
CT was one of my first rpgs alonside with Story of thor (Beyond Oasis), Final Fantasy IV, Suikoden and Light Crusader.
These are the games made me fall in love with the rpg genre.
Would love to see more of them in the future......
Wishful thinking probably.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: PS5 Fans Ponder What Sony's Soho Engine Could Be
@Chryssy75 Hi there friend.
Yeah, not the best controls, but still pretty great, especially during that time period of the PS2 era.
Besides from having to lean on the wall to recover from bullet wounds, everything else was pretty realistic in a way.
It was kinda awesome. Why I would love to see the IP coming back from the grave.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Returnal Runs at 60 FPS in Dynamic 4K with Raytraced Lighting on PS5

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 373
Hi there fellow gamers.
I finally decided to play Spiderman Remastered on PS5 with my PS4 save file and started a new game plus on hard mode and man, the 60 fps ray trace mode makes such a difference as I am playing.
Plus having everything unlocked, including the amazing outfits, just makes the game even more fun for me.
Then on PC I´m playing more fighting games like Killer Instinct, Under Night and Mortal Kombat 11, since I watched the
MK 2021 movie last night. It´s pretty good actualy.
Finally on Switch I´ve decided to take a break from Bravely Default 2 to go back to Bayonetta for some wicked portable whooping 😉
Cheers, stay safe, folks and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: PlayStation Studios Boss Wants 'Distinct and Diverse' Range of Games, Sony Committed to Both AAA Quality and Experimentation
Hi there fellow gamers.
Like some have already mentioned, the PS line up is vast with different kinds of games. Quantity, variety and quality, at least in my oppinion.
Games like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us Part 2, Dreams, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Horizon: Zero Dawn,
Demon´s Souls, Astro´s Playroom, Gran Turismo 7, Rachet and Clank: Rift Appart, Returnal. The list goes on and on.
And I cannot wait for the last three examples I just gave, as well as Deathloop, Forspoken and kena: Bridge of Spirits to name a few.
Soooooo yeah. What exactly people are complaining again? 😉

Re: Returnal Runs at 60 FPS in Dynamic 4K with Raytraced Lighting on PS5
@Flaming_Kaiser Hi there friend.
It might sound insane, but way back when, I got my copy of Tekken Tag Tornament 3 weeks before my parents bought me a PS2.
I didn´t know if I would get one, but I still decided to purchased the game since I was very excited to play and I´m a Tekken fan since Tekken 2.
So your not alone on your so called "insanity". Cause I´m one as well 😜
Hope you can get your PS5 as soon as possible so you can play Returnal and all the other awesome games that the system as and will have in the future.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Returnal Runs at 60 FPS in Dynamic 4K with Raytraced Lighting on PS5
@TheDudeElDuderino Hi there friend.
If I may just give you my oppinion, there are rogue likes who can be very time consuming, because it does not seem that you´ve made any kind of progress.
Fortunately, there are some who do reward the player just for going for "another run".
A game like Hades is a good example of this: in every run I´ve had of that game, i got more of the characters and the story as well.
Also, I was getting some permanent upgrades, like doing more damage, having more health, getting more items and unlocking more different weapons for me to try.
And get this, there are no repetitive dialogue whatsoever.
Not one! I´m still amazed by that honestly.
The gameplay is really engaging and it´s fun to uncover the story.
Plus the soundtrack is brilliant. I highly recomended it.
And Returnal really feels like the perfect evolution of an arcade shooter it how it´s being made.
Just my two cents.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Re: Returnal Trophy List Spawns Another Easy Platinum from Sony
Hi there fellow gamers.
I will definitely go for the Platinum as I tend to for most games I really enjoy.
However, It is true that some of them have been kinda easy to say the least.
The way I see it, trophies are essentialy another reason, or excuse, to either play the game some more, finish the game again, complete all quests and maybe get all the collectables (because those can be quite anoying).
It is basicaly rewarding the player to fully explore the game.
But in terms of difficulty, in a way, it depends on the game.
An example: my first Platinum was the original Dead Space.
I enjoyed the game so much that i wanted to do everything in the game and play the game again.
But what made me go for the third time was the challenge of doing two trophies at the same time.
Finish the game on Impossible difficulty...... But with only the initial weapon of the game, the Plasma Cutter.
I loved playing the game like that. It made me have a different apreciation of the Plasma Cutter and had to use every game mechanic to survive and beat the game.
And it was an awesome experience.
I´m not saying every game should have difficulty atached trophies, but some of them can be quite fun to get.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all
Re: Returnal's Latest Dev Diary Discusses Enemies and Bosses, Shows New Gameplay
@Odium Hi there friend.
I´m very much excited to play Returnal.
I really wanted a Vanquish sequel, but alas, no dice from Sega.
And as for the story, I would say SuperGiant games was able to make Hades a phenomenal rogue-like story wise, so fingers crossed for Returnal being even more engrossing.
Cheers, stay safe and all the best
Re: Returnal's Latest Dev Diary Discusses Enemies and Bosses, Shows New Gameplay
@djdizzy Hi there friend.
Control is such a good game and the Ultimate edition on PS5 is even better. There is quite a few secrets and some nods to their other games as well.
Excited to see what Remedy makes next on PS5.
And super excited for Returnal.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Returnal's Latest Dev Diary Discusses Enemies and Bosses, Shows New Gameplay
@Odium Hi there friend.
Well said!
I am so excited to play this game, because it looks so freakin cool.
It does give me that vibe like it´s a mix between Vanquish and Control, but on steroids. And that is saying something.
Can´t wait for April 30th to shoot my way and dodge like crazy trough enemies, discovering all the mysteries of Atropos and learning more about Selene and her possible relation with the planet and their lost, clumbled civilization.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
Re: Days Gone Director on Skipped Sequel: 'If You Love a Game, Buy It at F***ing Full Price'
Hi there fellow gamers.
My comment was way to long, I was rambling a bit to much, that´s true, so I´m just going to say this on this matter.
I enjoyed Days Gone a lot. More than I thought I was going to.
I bought the collectors edition of the game on launch week, but only played the game a few months later. Not because of initial bugs, but only because I was playing Devil May Cry 5 and Sekiro: Shadows Die twice at the moment. And loving them both so much.
I am probably one of the very few people that liked the main character of the game, Deacon St John and the other characters as well, wich I won´t mention their names because of spoilers.
I tought it was a very good open world post-apocaliptic zombi game.
I enjoyed the narrative, most of the cast and the dialogues between them. I think it was because they felt like real people with their reasons, feelings, motivations and flaws. It was like they were characters written for a really good tv show.
Some say it´s to long of a game. Not for me though.
There is a moment in the game when I felt it was closer to ending and then I was like: "wait, there´s more of this game? Cool! I wonder what else are they gonna trow at me and what else am I going to experience".
And with that being said, and especialy with how the game kinda ends in a cliffhanger, it´s sad if there won´t be a sequel to this game and it´s story.
We know that Bend studio is making another game and I hope it´s good, whatever it is.
Maybe it´s a Syphon Filter game, a reboot of some sort or a Socom game with a strong narrative singleplayer experience, with some co-op in the mix.
But can we get a Days Gone 2 as well?
A even better looking game, running smothly on PS5, with some fine tunned gameplay mechanics, with even more ways to deal with the freaker hordes and a follow up to the story?
Pretty please Sony?
Maybe one day we will.
Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy gaming experiences to us all around this big old world of ours
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 372
Hi there fellow gamers.
This weeken will be a little different.
Since I was able to finish and Platinum Outriders, Trickster Class on PS5, I´ll probably create a new character and go for the Pyromancer Class and mess around the End Game Expeditions with some friends.
Also I´m playing two fighting games on PC:
And last, but not least, more Bravely Default 2 on Switch.
Chapter 4 now. Like I said before, slowly but steady.
PS: I´m also going back to Sackboy a Big Adventure on PS5. Love how much joy I get from that game.

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Goes Gold Ahead of Release in May
Hi there fellow gamers.
In all my years as a gamer, I have played many awesome games and sagas and the Mass Effect saga is still my absolut favourite alongside MGS saga.
It´s unbelivable how Bioware was able to make such an ambitious and colossal task of creating this trilogy where the player can experience a space opera like no other game or medium was able to achive, in my oppinion.
Going for the seventh time and probably the eight time completing the whole trilogy again.
It´s gaming experiences like this that I live for as a gamer.
