Still playing The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story. Having a really good time with it. I think I should be finishing it today. Probably going to go for the Platinum on it.
Even at the price of $FREE.99 I still have no interest in playing Saints Row. Nothing I saw about it made me want to play that. No interest in the other games this month either. Sony did themselves no favors dropping these duds and announcing the price hike for the PS+ tiers.
I'm a PlayStation guy, but Xbox's Showcase was damn good and put the PS Showcase to shame. Not a fan of Jim Ryan's PlayStation. They need to get their act together. Cause today felt like the 360 vs PS3 era.
I was already on the fence about it since not much had been shown since it was announced. But after the State of Play, I have zero interest in the game now. Gameplay looked too much like a Fortnite/Battle Royale style game and that is definitely not a genre I'm into.
I just want the single-player campaign to be shown some love. Seems like their only focus has been GTA Online. I understand it generates a ton of money for them, but damn, us single-player only folks still exist.
@ShogunRok RPGFan's review of it wasn't too flattering, so it might be one of those cases where you might want to wait for a deep sale then give it a shot.
Still working my way through Elden Ring. I'm almost 100 hours in and with it being my first FromSoft game, I'm seriously enjoying this way more than I thought I would.
I've been waiting on the next-gen patch to drop. So now that that's done, I have a few more games in my backlog to play before I get to it, but it's definitely getting played.
I'm definitely getting it, but I'll wait for a sale. Probably 35% or 40% off. I enjoyed FC3, 4, and Primal (didn't like the XP system for FC5 so I dropped that pretty quick). Everything I've read in reviews has me feeling I'll enjoy this.
I love Arkane. Enjoyed the entire Dishonored franchise and Prey. But Deathloop isn't for me. Everything I've read about it had me wanting to stay away from it. I love the look of it. But that looping concept and trying to figure out how to kill all the targets in a day doesn't sound appealing to me. That will be too many repeated days for me lol
While I love me some Arkane (Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Death of the Outsider, and Prey), Deathloop isn't for me. Just not a fan of the concept. Having a specific time frame to kill everyone, which means having to play areas multiple times to get the "puzzle" right, just doesn't sound that fun to me.
@Flaming_Kaiser I've gone strictly digital now. So I'll be in for a long wait if I wanted to get it for that cheap lol. Especially since it has been off PSN for so long. Kind of wish they had left it up. Maybe I at least could have go it for $20 by now lol
@Divergent95 Real talk on Andromeda. I gave that a go after all the patches and I was surprised out how much I enjoyed it. Hell, I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Mass Effect 3.
deep sigh Might as well just wait for the PS5 upgrade version. If it will still even be a thing. Looks like I probably won't play this until 2022 when every last patch is out. Damn.
There's definitely a difference between the footage shown at Sony's State of Play and this year's E3 trailer. I was ready for the State of Play version. Now, I'll be saving my money. Yuck lol

Re: Could Sony, Hideo Kojima's Physint Be the First Announced PS6 Game?
Rushing in the era of the PS6, when I feel we haven't even had a decent run with this current gen yet smh
Re: Poll: Are You Buying a PS5 'Slim'?
I'm good with my launch PS5. The Slim is ugly as sin with that racing stripe lol
Re: The Persona Collection Brings P5R, P4G, and P3P Together in One Big PS5, PS4 Bundle
A pointless bundle in my opinion with Persona 3 Reload not far off, yet they put Persona 3 Portable in there.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Clarified as CDPR Lists Patch vs. Phantom Liberty Changes
So glad I decided to wait to play CP2077. Really looking forward to it now.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
Even at the price of $FREE.99 I still have no interest in playing Saints Row. Nothing I saw about it made me want to play that. No interest in the other games this month either. Sony did themselves no favors dropping these duds and announcing the price hike for the PS+ tiers.
Re: Reaction: Solid Xbox Showcase Should Give Sony Some Incentive to Stop Being So Damn Cloak and Daggers About PS5, PS4
I'm a PlayStation guy, but Xbox's Showcase was damn good and put the PS Showcase to shame. Not a fan of Jim Ryan's PlayStation. They need to get their act together. Cause today felt like the 360 vs PS3 era.
Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You for the PlayStation Showcase?
I'm in the middle. I'm hoping it's great but want to keep my expectations low to avoid disappointment.
Re: Yes, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Is Definitely a Live Service Game
I was already on the fence about it since not much had been shown since it was announced. But after the State of Play, I have zero interest in the game now. Gameplay looked too much like a Fortnite/Battle Royale style game and that is definitely not a genre I'm into.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer Was Cut Because of Game's Troubled Launch, Admits CDPR
I’d prefer CDPR to just stick with single-player games. There’s more than enough multiplayer offerings. Too many in my opinion.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 21
13 out of 15! Question 8 and 15 got me.
Re: Yes, Black Myth: Wukong Continues to Look Utterly Sensational
Game looks great. But it is never going to release lol
Re: GTA 6 Needs to Exceed Players' Expectations, Rockstar Admits
I just want the single-player campaign to be shown some love. Seems like their only focus has been GTA Online. I understand it generates a ton of money for them, but damn, us single-player only folks still exist.

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 12
8/15...dammit. A few of those I got wrong, I second guessed on when I should have gone with my gut.
Re: Poll: Which Final Fantasy Game are You Most Looking Forward to?
@nessisonett This right here.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 9
10 out of 15. I'm good with that.
Re: Poll: Do Remakes of Old Games Get You Excited?
I rarely replay a game that I've beaten. But if a remake releases for a game that I missed out on that I'm interested in, then I'm all for it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5?
I've been waiting on the next-gen patch to drop. So now that that's done, I have a few more games in my backlog to play before I get to it, but it's definitely getting played.
Re: Poll: Would You Still Buy PlayStation Consoles Without Activision Blizzard Games?
@nofriendo Exactly! Not affected by this acquistion at all.
Re: Talking Point: Why Aren't You Playing Knockout City with PS Plus?
I'm not into competitive multiplayer. So that's why it gets a pass from me.
Re: Poll: Vote for the Best Assassin's Creed Game on PlayStation
Assassins Creed II is still the GOAT of the series for me. I haven't played Valhalla yet, but I've played all the others in the main series.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Far Cry 6?
I'm definitely getting it, but I'll wait for a sale. Probably 35% or 40% off. I enjoyed FC3, 4, and Primal (didn't like the XP system for FC5 so I dropped that pretty quick). Everything I've read in reviews has me feeling I'll enjoy this.
Re: PS5 Firmware 21.02-04: All the New Features and Hidden Changes You Might Have Missed
I'll be jumping on the SSD expansion as soon as those prices come down.

Re: Gothic PS5, PS4 Adventure Lost in Random Rolls 10th September Release Date
I've liked everything I've seen about this so far. Definitely keeping it on my radar.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked by Sony
I haven't played a tennis game since Mario Tennis 64 lol. So I'll give Tennis World Tour 2 a go.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Less Excited for Deathloop on PS5 Than I Should Be
While I love me some Arkane (Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Death of the Outsider, and Prey), Deathloop isn't for me. Just not a fan of the concept. Having a specific time frame to kill everyone, which means having to play areas multiple times to get the "puzzle" right, just doesn't sound that fun to me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 382
I'll be getting back to Ara Fell. Started it toward the end of last weekend, so I'm not very far. But I like what I've experience so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 382
@Texan_Survivor I really enjoyed The Order 1886. 100% agree with you on that it didn't deserve the fate it had.

Re: Turn-Based JRPG Astria Ascending Attacks PS5, PS4 on 30th September
I love me some RPGs. Especially turn-based. This is looking good. I had completely forgotten about it.
Re: Babylon's Fall Gets Smashed with Dislikes Upon Its Gameplay Return
There's definitely a difference between the footage shown at Sony's State of Play and this year's E3 trailer. I was ready for the State of Play version. Now, I'll be saving my money. Yuck lol
