@TraCuz- Hi there friend. It has been a while.
Hope all is good on your end.
Yeah, I´ve been enjoying my Series X so far. It´s a pretty good system, it has a bit more storage space than the PS5 and with Game Pass you get a LOT of different tittles to pick from.
I was able to purchase the system and some physical games on a sale and it just was the right time to, since I had to call in sick from work for a week, so it kept me entertained 😉
Just another system to consider and less money on the wallet.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@Kairu Hi there friend
"Ghost of Tsushima and Bloodborne for me. Quite possibly two of the absolute best games I’ve ever played. Ever."
I just had to say I absolutely agree with that sentence.
Personaly, I feel that Bloodborne is Myasaki´s masterpiece and Ghost of Tsushima is the kind of game I always wanted to play.
I have hundreds of hours on both of these games and I still want to to a new game plus on Ghost.
Amazing games trough and trough.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@KilloWertz Hi there friend
Keep on playing it. I also knew about the hype surrouding this game in particular, but being a fan of Zelda games myself, I just had to get. Honestly, the game just felt like a "Breath" of fresh air, since you can go anywere on the map and chose the order of the Divine Beast, the game´s dungeons, to tackle, without any hand-holding of any kind.
I would say go for the Zora tribe one first, since the Divine ability you get is pretty useful.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@Ravix "for such a desolate world, they made it feel very alive."
Very true. The simple fact that you could see what other players build, were there vehicles, posts, umbrellas with radio, it´s what I call them, and whatnot and how many people give you the "thumbs up" while utilizing them was pretty cool.
It is kinda similar to most Fromsoftware games and that is the kind of multiplayer components that I enjoy in my singleplayer games.
Cheers and all the best

@Ravix Hi there friend.
Had a very similar experince when I played the game back then.
I spend so many hours building bridges and roads, by going back and forth with materials, spending resources and avoiding BTs.
And when I booted the game after a week of not playing, the two roads that I was making were all completed by other players. Put a big smile on my face, seeing how everyone were helping each other. Kojima and it´s crew are something else.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@PenguinLtd Hi there friend.
That is exactely how it´s suposed to be. Every time I purchase a new souls-like game, I´m like "okay, time to learn the ropes and get good again". That is the nature of the game. It wants us, the players, to overcome these imposing obstacles by learning from our mistakes and become successful in the end.
And I love those games for it. That sense of accomplishment.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
Still enjoying my new Xbox Series X and, since I´ve finished Halo 4 and with that, the Halo Master Chief Collection, I´m going to start Gears of war 4 for the very first time.
On my PS5, still on Horizon Forbidden West, man that game is big, doing some exploration and some missions here and there, and will also be playing the Guilty Gear Strive Crossplay beta.
Finally on my Switch, still playing Triangle Strategy, chapter 4 now and some Dark Souls Remaster on ocasion.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Starkei Hi there friend.
Congrats on your new PS5.
As for first games, you should definitely play Astro´s Playroom and Demon´s Souls. Both are great and use the Dualsense and 3D audio really well. You won´t regret it.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
I´ll be ontinuing on with the Halo Master Chief Collection on my Xbox Series X, specifically Halo Reach wich I´m really enjoying.
On my PS5, more DnF Duel matches, and some GG Strive as well.
Finally on my Switch, Triagle Strategy on chapter 3.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
Got my very first Platinum trophy with the original game, by playing three times, with the last one being a fun challege of playing on the hardest difficulty only with Isaac´s trusty Plasma Cutter. Can´t wait to play this new version.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
Big Fan of the franchise and I´m really glad that Crystal Dynamics are actually doing this survey.
I do wish for a proper sequel over a remaster, though a remake could be nice.
This is kinda tricky for newcomers to the series, sice there is a LOT of story and lore between all games, but I still would very much for them to actually finish and conclude the story.
LoK: Defiance was not the "real" ending. There is much more to tell, wich is why CD would need to either get Amy Henning´s notes or better yet, get Amy Henning herself to write the story.
Nevertheless, this is still very good news for LoK fans.
Really hope they can actually gather enough feedback and bring this beloved and great series back.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers.
Still enjoying my Xbox Series X very much even though, I´m playing old games in it. And FH5. The game´s beautiful and fun.
Having already finished replaying the first three Gears of War games, those games are as good as I remember, I´ve decided to take the plunge and dive into the Halo games for the first time with the Halo Master Chief Collection.
I´m at the end of Halo CE and will probably be playing Halo 2 throughout the weekend.
So far, the best thing I can say is that the combat feels great.
The game also has some difficulty spikes, or maybe I´m just not that good at playing Halo yet. But I´m in for the long haul.
Will also be playing more Horizon Forbidden West on my PS5 and Triangle Strategy on my Switch. Great time to be a gamer.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@nessisonett Hey there friend.
"beating all 4 unlocks Batman as that would absolutely have happened back in the PS2 days"
Yeah, those were the days indeed.
In the good old days, we would unlock content by just playing the game and finishing multiple times.
Games had a lot of replayability back then just for that reason alone.
Like playing the Arcade mode 30 times with Jin to unlock his third outfit in Tekken 3. Or beating the original God of War on PS2 in God mode to unlock more lore videos and other artwork.
Now, everything is mainly DLC..... These are times.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@ErrantRob Hi there friend.
Yes, indeed, Arkham Origins was a really good game, especially the Boss battles.
Also, it is kinda interesting seeing Bat in he´s first years were he is still, you know, more unhinged.
Oh, and the Joker part was great as well.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
I´m really liking the idea of multiple playtroughs with different characters perspective.
Still a bit on the fence, but hopefully, Montreal delivers a great BatFamily game.
Oh, and as for my favourite, it´s Batman Arkham City for me.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and all the best

@KingPev Hey there friend and thanks.
Already finished Gears 2 and just started Gears 3.
Being able to play all three games again, but now with 60 fps has been great.
Looking forward to play Gears 4 and 5 and finally continue with the new story.
Probably going to enjoy both of them a lot just like you said.
Cheers, and have a good one

@Eldritch Hi there friend.
It is one of the many Ips that Sony owns and does not do anything about it.
I mean, I know the teams need to have that desire to make such games, but even still.
Games like Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, The Order 1886, Legend of Dragoon, Bloodborne, Puppeteer, they all deserve to make a comeback of somekind.
Like I said before, maybe one day we´ll see it happen.
Cheers, and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
Since I got my own Xbox Series X last weekend, I´ve been replaying the Gears of War games and I´m on the last chapters of Gears 2 and will probably start Gears 3 either today or tomorrow.
I´ve missed playing this series and now I can finally play Gears 4 and 5.
Might also dable in some DnF Duel matches and more Horizon Forbidden West quests on my PS5.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
Interesting topic for a debate, so here´s my take:
I recently played and finished The Last of Us Part I, and I really enjoyed it. And it was the story and the characters that really make the game shine bright. I still think it´s one of the best games I ever played.
However, gameplay wise, Part II is a vastly superior videogame.
Not only that, but in my oppinion, is a better game period.
Now I know that without Part I, part II wouldn´t exist, that is correct.
But I really aplaud what Naughty Dog decided to do and again, in my oppinion, were able to pull of.
In conversations with friends of mine regarding a possibility of a sequel, we would always go for the brand new characters but in the same world and not exactely a follow up to the story of the first.
But the mad lads and mad ladies decided to do both.
The story follows both existing and new characters in the same game.
I tought it was brilliant. Polarising, for sure, but brilliant.
And since I enjoyed the story of Part II very much, that is why The Last of Us Part II is my favourite of both games.
And you know what I wanted to do as soon as I finished Part I and Left Behind? Yes, you guessed it, play The Last Of Us Part II once more, for the third time.
Replaying these games, not only reinforces why I love Videogames so much, but also really makes me want Naughty Dog to make The Last Of Us Part III as a conclusion of the story.
Maybe someday, I guess. Oh but first, can we get a new Jak and Daxter game, prety please and thank you.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers.
Didn´t even remember they announced this, so thanks for the reminder.
As for the Remake itself, all I want is better controls, stealth as the main path (with Ghost, Panther and assault as different ways to play the game), a compeling spy narrative and last, but not least, Michael Ironside to interpret is role once again.
Just like David Hayter is THE voice of Solid Snake,
Michael Ironside is THE voice of Sam Fisher.
Hopefully they make a really good Splinter Cell game.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers.
My favourite PS5 game shown, God of War: Ragnarok aside, was defenitely Rise of the Ronin. Another open world samurai rpg, sign me up. Follow up by Stelar Blade, Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Ishin, wich all look pretty awesome.
Really good State of Play for me at least.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
So now is Team Ninja´s version of a open world samurai game?
This was THE BEST reveal for me, hands down!
First it was Ghots of Tsushima and now were getting Like a Dragon: Ishin and Rise of the Ronin.....
The devs are finally hearing my prayers for the type of game I´ve always wanted to play.
And let´s not forget Assassin´s Creed Code Red as well.
2024 is shaping up to be my favourite year.
Open World Feudal Japan Ninja and Samurai games.
I Love videogames so much.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers
To all of you who also wants Legacy of Kain to come back, especialy Soul Reaver, THANK YOU!!!
I absolutely love the series and have been wainting decades for for it to make a return and, hopefully, bring the story to a conclusion.
Those games are some of the finnest storytelling ever made with a fantastic voice casting that elevates it completely.
One can only hope and dream.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be playing The Last of Us Part I on PS5 and a bit of Mass Effect Andromeda on PC, with mods.
Since I only finished once on the PS3, I can clearly see the upgrades on the game. I just finished the Hotel part and the last scene seemed a bit different from what I remember.
It is kinda interesting seeing both Joel and Ellie´s relationship develop knowing what´s going to happen in the future.
Just makes me appreciate the game even more.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@colonelkilgore Yeah, absolutely. We can only hope. And dream 😁 I wonder if anyone that worked on the games, besides the fans, are actualy thinking about doing something with the series.
It has potential to become popular again, gaining new fans and making old fans like us very happy.
If it ever happens, I´ll be a happy camper. Shame that we won´t have the late Tony Jay for the Elder God role anymore. R.I.P.
Him, plus Michael Bell and Simon Templeman did such an amazing job with their specific roles. Truly Iconic roles for sure.
Cheers, and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers, been a while.
This weekend I´ll be dabling into more Horizon: Forbidden West, probably doing a few sidequests and more story missions wich are really good so far (loved the Poseidon one) and maybe play some more online matches of both DNF Duel and GG Strive on my PS5.
On Switch, still can´t stop playing Triangle Strategy, wich means XenoBlade is going to have to wait.
And catch on more GamesCom gaming news.
Also, very much excited for The Last of Us Part I next week.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@PSme @colonelkilgore Hey there friends.
Having the Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver games remade for next gen, or current gen if it pleases you, would be a dream came true for me. You guys can tell I´m a huge Soul Reaver fan trough my nickname and maybe they could even finish the story, since Defiance was not suposed to be the final game of the series. They would have to hire Amy Henning to do it properly though. But it would be amazing if it was possible.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one both of you

@ErrantRob Hi there friend.
Yes, the Yakuza series is a godd example of a traditional real time action rpg, that decided to try something new with the latest entry and it was really good. Some people even prefer that particular style and that´s why they got the game. Who says that a game needs to be the exact same over and over?
Videogames, just like everything else, need to evolve and change. Of course, not so much that they lose their identity completely, but if the developers don´t try something different, then why even bother? Another example is God of War 2018. With was a big change in mechanics and storytelling and people LOVED the game from beginning to finish.
I know I did and I can´t wait for the sequel in November.
Oh, and I´m also currently playing and enjoying very much so Triagle Strategy on my Switch. It just sractches my itch for a turn based strategy game as well as medieval type story, wich is another reason I´m excited for FFXVI.
Good things are coming to those that patiently wait for them.
Cheers, stay safe and all the best

@Shepherd_Tallon Thanks friend, I try 😁
Ultimately, I just want to play fun, exciting, borderline addictive videogames. Ok, maybe not that addictive, but still.
And in case of RPGs, eastern or western, they NEED to be fun, have engaging mechanics and interesting narrative and characters, since we are supposed to play them for dozens of hours on end.
As for the FFXVI OST, in Masayoshi Soken I fully trust.
Cheers, stay safe and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers.
As a old school jrpg fan, I grew up with FFIV and Shining Force, turn based combat system games and have always apreciated them, as well as games like the Fire Emblem series.
But not every sigle jrpg was turn based. There were others who had action, real time combat system and they were great to.
What drew mw into these games was always the sense of an adventure, a fantastical jouney into the unkown, full of mystery and wonder, trying to fully understand what was happening with my party characters and with the games narrative.
I´ll say this, if the combat system is good and done well, it doesn´t matter what kind it is as long as it is FUN and ENGAGING as the Story and Characters. And an amazing soundtrack to make much more appealing and addicting to play one more hour before going to sleep.
Having said all that, I´m very much excited for FFXVI and really hope they can nail that combat system and have a interesting story, cause I like the setting and were it´s going.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
Now there is a name I haven´t heard in a long time.
Really enjoyed playing both games way back then on PS2 and on emulation.
The game had such a unique visual style, a ofessive and defessive meter and pieces of armour would break and fall appart like the Latest Soul Calibur games.
Also it was as anime as it could get. Wiched I loved.
God news it´s coming back and will probably get it.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and have a good one

@Crumbytweak Hey there friend.
I absolutely agree with you. Days Gone is an underrated hidden PS gem in my book, that becomes even better on a PS5, running solid and smooth 60fps. I do plan on doing a secon run on my PS5 and go for the Platinum as well. I would love a sequel, especially after "that ending".
And the team could do wonders with the power of the PS5 in terms of the environments and the whole Freaker Hordes as well. Maybe one day we´ll get it.
Cheers friend and have a good one

@ErrantRob Hi there friend.
If you´re like me and enjoy strategy rpgs, with challenging but really good gameplay mechanics with a great and mature story, then Triangle Strategy is the game for you as well. It´s been awhile since I got hooked on a game like this, but it is so worth it.
Cheers friend and have a good one

@liljazzy2 Welcome to the Playstation Family friend. There are so many amazing games and many awesome moments to experience. And Spiderman is definitely one of those for sure.
I also kinda want to get Shredders revenge, since I´m a fan of the NinjaTurtles myself. But tere are so many more fantastic franchises like The Last of Us, Horizon, Ni-Oh, God of War, Final Fantasy and so on.
You ave one big journey ahead my friend.
Cheers and all the best

@KilloWertz Congrats on getting a Switch, my second favourite Nintendo system ever. (first is DSLite. Played so many games there, it´s not even funny) There are quite a few really good games on the system, like Luigis Mansion 3, Astral Chain, Metroid Dread, Bayonetta 2 (and 3 later in the year), Xenoblade Chronicles games and THE GAME that made mw want a Switch in the first place, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As well as many others.
Cheers friend and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers.
No gaming for me this weekend though. Decided to re-watch the Bleach anime without the filler episodes. Yes, I read the Manga tothe end, but as a fan of it and since Tite Kubo-san is directly involved in the anime production, that kinda get´s me excited. I still very much enjoy shounen anime, even though I´m a 37 years old man 😜
Just want to respond to some of you in the following posts.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming weekend everyone.

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´m diving in the amazing Control on PS5, since I couldn´t play it with my original Dualsense wich was starting to have some sort of drift in the left analog stick, so I got a brand new one and it plays like wonders.
Going to continue Aloy´s journey into the Forbidden West on PS5, such a beautiful game.
And some more Guilty Gear Strive online. Gotta get better with my boy Ky and is new air combos.
Then, on PC I´ll be driving around UK in Forza Horizon 4 and finally play Inside and see what the game is all about.
Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy gaming weekend to us all

@TraCuz- Hey there friend!
Yeah, it´s been some time. Life and stuff, you know how it is.
But yes, we FF fans are indeed feasting.
Remember when SE would struggle just to launch one FF title?
Now we have 3 of those. Kinda crazy, but most definitely the good kind. And It is going to be a trilogy, just like I´ve predicted it would, since that´s just made more sense to me. Good times.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the weekend my friend

Hi there fellow gamers.
"Which Final Fantasy game are you most looking forward to?"
Well, I am getting all three of them, since I´m a huge FF fan.
But if I have to pick only one, then it has to be FFXVI.
Even though I´m quite curious with what Nomura-san and Kitase-san will do with this "new" FFVII trilogy and Crisis Core being an awesome game, especialy on PSP at the time, I´m still very much excited for something new, a new main line FF game, even more if it´s being helmed by Yoshi-P-san and his team.
Really great news for FF fans around the globe.
Cheers, stay safe and happy role play gaming for us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
This weekend, on PS5 I´ll continue with Horizon Forbidden West, maybe do more rounds of KOFXV and try the new Guilty Gear Strive patch and see how much I still struggle with Chipp 😜
Going to also spend some time driving around and race in Forza Horizon 4 on PC and maybe some more Mass Effect Andromeda with mods on PC as well. Mods absolutely change this game I tell you.
Might also play Elden Ring and/or Returnal with a friend on PS5.
Cheers, stay safe, stay healthy and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´m continuing my jorney into the Forbidden West, doing side quests and advance a little in the main story missions. Have to improve my combat skills and get some more upgrades.
I´ll also be playing some fighting games, namely Guilty Gear Strive and especially KOFXV, since Geese and the gang are back in town.
Having a lot of fun learning optimal combos and ToDs.
And might actualy start FFXV Windows Edition, since I only played like 8-10 hours of the PS4 version way back.
Oh, and FFXIII is actualy pretty good and one of my favourites, along side FFIV, FFIV, FFVIII and FFX, believe it or not.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@ErrantRob
Hi there friend. Sorry for the late reply.
Just added you on PSN.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy your week

@Loftimus Hi there friend.
Death Stranding is not a game, but an experience like no other.
Never would I thought that I could have so much fun and enjoyment from doing deliveries, planning the best and most optimal courses, building structures for myself and other players, all while avoiding BTs and MULES.
Had an amazing moment when I was building a road on my own to link one of the thougest zones, crafting the materials needed,, aplying them, going back and forth and got half way. After a few days when I returned to the game, not only the road was finished, but had a lot of likes from players who helped complet it and used it.
Put a big smile on my face and made my day.
Also the story is great and one of a kind.
But it is a Kojima game, so of course it is 😜
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

@Shigurui @Relygon Hi there friends.
Quantum Break is an underrated game imo.
Played on my PC and had a great time playing with time powers, plus the story and characters wich is Remedy strong point.
And Control (especialy on PS5) is probably the best and my personal favourite Remedy game since Max Payne and Alan Wake. The game is just fun.
Can´t wait to see more of Alan Wake 2.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one you two

@TheArt @Shepherd_Tallon Hi there friends.
I know exactely what you guys mean.
It´s been awhile since a game has consumed me for so long and in such a way that it was all I could think and talk about.
Such an addicting game. And even though I did EVERYTHING in that game, I still want to play more of it, you know? Play with different builds (only tried 3 of them), help more people defeat Malenia (did you know she is the Blade of Miquella?) and do some Pvp and co-op with friends. And all that after almost 220 hours.... What a fantastic open world game FromSoftware made. What a game indeed.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one you two

@ErrantRob @MightyDemon82
Hey there friends!
We should definitely play some matches one of these days.
Funny how both of you main two of the most anoying charaters to deal in Strive 😜 My main is Chipp and I´m kinda rusty, but the game is always fun.....
Also congrats on the birth of your son ErrantRob.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one you two

Hi there fellow gamers,
After more than 218 hours of playing, helping people defeat Bosses, finishing and Platinum the jurggernaut of a game that is Elden Ring, I´m now ready for something else.
So this weekend I´ll be playing the following games:

• Forza Horizon 4, PC. Love to just drive around in that game;
• Soul Calibur VI, PC. Creating and watching charaters creations;
• Horizon Forbidden West, PS5. Another open world action rpg that is going to take many hours to finish...... And that is good 😜
  And more Mass Effect Andromeda on PC with MODS.
  Cheers, stay safe and well everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
This is clearly some good gaming news for Playstation, but aparently it´s not the only one.....
There is a rumour that Sony as aquired the rights one of Konami Big Franchises.
I would say there are two possibilities: either Metal Gear Solid or Sillent Hill. Time will tell wich one.
Either way, super excited for what´s to come next from Sony First Party Studios.
If only there was no stupid war going on......
Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy gaming to us all

@kyleforrester87 I did played Twin Snakes on Game Cube.
Still have my copy somewere.
I am a Mega Fan of this Franchise 😉 And others as well.
Watching some of those over the top cutscenes was both strange and funny at the same time. Plus, we could finally see the actual faces of the charaters, instead of the PSone poligons, even though I still like them that way.
But there was something off with the gameplay of that version.
Not sure what it was though. Maybe you felt the same?
Having said that, can you imagine a MGS1 PS5 Remake like Bluepoint did with Demon`s Souls? With good gameplay controls and all the bells and whistles? Would be day 1 for me.
Cheers, stay safe and enjoy the weekend

@buckp25 Hi there friend.
Absolutely. I don´t even know were to turn myself, there´s so many awesome games to experience and enjoy.
And doesn´t even matter wich game it is, as long as your having fun and joy with it. Especially in these times full of turmoil.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
