The problem with Sledgehammer is once the founders left the company, they just didn't know what to do anymore. I loved WWII but everything after that was just bad CoD wise.
Black Ops 6 (Series X) Well since it's on Gamepass I figure I try the MP. I am not expecting much since the last few years of CoD have been a garbage. I have also prefered the Black Ops series over the MW series so there's that but I am still not hoping for much.
World of Warcraft (PC) The 20th anniversary is upon us and there is a bunch of stuff to do at the festival. I am working on getting the Judgement armor set so there's that. I also started a new character through the Shadowlands campaign which isn't bad but it just makes me want to play Diablo.
Titanic the Board Game (Tabletop) I recently received this as a birthday gift and will be looking to crack this open with the family tonight.
Its really sad when a the person of a major character in a series passes and they cant remove the character. Although if done right it wont be to big of a problem. Look at Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies for example. They key is getting the right person and just not anyone ol person.
Always sad to see a magazine shut down but with the internet and websites like Pushsquare, NintendoLife, Pure Xbox and dozens of others it just doesn't make sense to pay for a magazine subscription for news that's already a few weeks old.
@get2sammyb I remember getting the demo discs in OPM. At the time I couldn't afford games much, just moving out on my own and having a kid so those demon discs introduced me to alot of PS library at the time. I may still have a few lieing around somewhere.
That's why I hat playing QTE that use X as on of the buttons. I always stop and think which console am I playing again and by the time I figure it out I miss the QTE.
Well that just ruined the game for me. I felt that his death in 7 was just perfect. Bringing him back has just cheapen the series for me. Not what I expected from Tekken.
@get2sammyb Fair enough, if that's their business practice more power to them. I know alot of Sony consumers will be getting it and it makes senses give their loyal consumers something.
My son has the newer version of the PS5 the one where the disc drive can detach and I have watched games he played on it like Horizon and GoW and him as a student said he won't be getting the pro due to the price point.
Didn't they learn this leasin from the PS3??? The only group that they are targeting are hardcore Sony consumers. Casual gamers will not be buying this. Pricing is one reason I have switched from PS to Xbox.
Black Ops 6 Beta (Series X) Since it's on Gamepass I will be trying it out. I have always preferred the Black Ops series over MW.
World of Warcraft (PC) A new expansion is upon us, it's time to start the grind to 80. So far I am enjoying the new expansion, I don't like what they did to crafting mind you but otherwise it's an enjoyable one.
Castlevania; Portrait of Ruin (Switch) So glad this is finally on Switch. One of my favorite Castlevania games. Now I can finally beat it.
It's a movie based of a game franchise, they are rarely ever good. Look at Street Fighter, Doom, Super Mario Bros, Rampage, Warcraft and a dozen others.
Played it for an hour or two when it first came out and that was enough for me. I don't know after Borderlands 2 it's hard for me to get back into the series which is odd because I love Borederlands and Borderlands 2.
It's not surprising about Tiny Tina's though especially since they have a TTRPG version.
XDefiant (Series X) Grinding out more guns and unlocking more parts for them. I am reallying loving this game as it's filled that FPS gameplay that I have been missing since CoD died.
World of Warcraft (PC) Now that I got my Troll Paladin to 70 I am grinding out mounts. Might start a Death Knight here in Pandaria Remix.
Mega Man V (Nintendo Switch) Like alot of us this release took me by surprise. I have been wanting to replay this game and since I don't have my 3DS anymore this was great news having it come to the NSO.
XDefiant (Series X) Really enjoying this game. It captures the feel of an old school CoD really well. It feels so good to have a good FPS game again. With the Double Weapon XP weekend going on I will be grinding out some guns.
World of Warcraft (PC) Still grinding out MoP Remix. I am loving it still and enjoying my Troll Paladin.
Eiyuden Chronicles (Series X) Just got my castle and now I am going on a recruiting hunt.
World of Warcraft (PC) Just wrapping up some achievements and mount hunting while I wait for the new stuff to drop. Might try MoP Remix once that drops as that was one of my favorite expansions.
XDefiant (Series X) The server test is this weekend so I will be popping on for a few sessions. Still really enjoying this game.
Fallout 76 (Series X) I started playing this again (I wonder why) and yes it's a big improvement over launch. I will continue my exploration of the Wasteland some more this weekend.
World of Warcraft (PC) Still exploring Azerioth and hoping to hit level 70 on my Bloodelf Mage by the end of the weekend.
The only reason they are acknowledging New Vegas is because of the TV show. If they didn't include New Vegas at all then the show wouldn't do as well in the ratings.
World of Warcraft Retail (PC) Recently went back for the Hearthstone event and figured I do some mount farming on my Blood Elf mage.
WWE 2K23 (Xbox) About to finish up season 3 on GM Mode which has just been a disaster for me, injuries, rivalries not catching. Not sure what I did wrong but I need to rethink my strategy.
Hearthstone (mobile) Got sucked back into this one, mainly the Mercenary mode. I play this one in between other games.
Chrono Trigger (Super NT) In honor of Akira Toriyama's passing I am replaying one of my favorite SNES games. Thank you for everything Toriyama may you rest in peace.
WWE 2K23 (Xbox Series X) Just started season 3 against my son in GM mode. I took season 1 and he took season 2 so this season will be interesting.
That's all I am probably going to get through this weekend. I am still working my way through Yakuza: Like a Dragon but do to having to work this weekend I don't think I will get to it.
Played and beat Sifu on the Series X so it will be interesting playing it on its native console. Wasn't big on Hello Neighbor and I didn't like Destiny 2.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Xbox Series xlX) - Really enjoying this game so far, a change for the series yet some parts seem familiar. Just started Chapter 3.
World of Warcraft (PC) This weekend I am going to be playing some WotLK Classic with my son.
Not surprised at all. The last few years was a slow death for E3. Will I miss it, sure. There was nothing like taking the day off of work to watch the announcements. It's when I made the decision to go with a PS4 instead of an Xbox One a few years ago. It's where I first took Sony seriously as a gaming company. It will be missed but it's no surprise it's not returning.
@get2sammyb I have noticed that lately you have been getting review copies after everyone else, why is that? Did Pushsquare do something wrong or is it the publisher just doesn't want reviews out before the game is released?
