I hope it is better than Iron Man PS3, which is one of the worst games I have played. Superman N64 level bad.

I am a big fan of Iron Man, will def. check it out when it releases.

A game with a great combat system can make up for a lot of other flaws (Exhibit A: Kingdoms of Amalur). This sounds like it could be super fun to play.

RDR2 forever. What a game. I put off playing it way too long.

@KaijuKaiser There is an object you can find that will glow when you are in an area where a seed is. That is how I found the ones I missed…….

Me and my paltry number of Plats are not helping the situation. I have failed my country…….☹️

This week I started Red Dead Redemption 2. It is wonderful. I don’t know what the heck I was waiting for. I will be spending as much of the weekend as I can living the outlaw (with a heart of gold) life.

Is this Cult of the Lamb DLC?

I can’t seem to put down Death’s Door until I have uncovered every one of its secrets. What an awesome game.

@Perturbator Griftlands has been on my wish list for quite some time. Glad to hear it is good! Thanks for the scouting report!

Get well soon Mr. Tailby. Glad you are feeling better-Covid is no joke. Stay safe everyone.

I finished the story campaign for Avengers last night and I am done. Combat was kinda fun for a bit and the protagonist is delightful, but overall it is one of the more aggressively mediocre games I have played. No desire to keep at the grind of the other content.

Today I plan to start Death’s Door. Heard good things, really excited!

I still want to finish the rest of the Yakuza series before jumping in to Like a Dragon (and I am only on 4!). But eventually I will be ready. Great month!

1. I am looking forward to this.

2.Darkest Dungeon was already scary without clowns!

@trev666 This is the correct answer. An ending to fit all the consequential choices made over three games was never a realistic possibility. I love that trilogy, and I feel bad for gamers who let the ending get in the way of the fantastic hundred hours that came before. Because twenty comprehensive endings were never in the cards, and the ones we got were fine space opera endings.

After the high achievement of my 10/15 last week, I am back down to 7. Where I belong.

I am playing Tails of Iron. Really good game, with challenging, fun combat.

My first at home video game was Pong. My first home console was an Atari 2600. You better believe I am getting this!

10/15. Better than usual!

Darkest Dungeon was scary enough before adding clowns………

TLOU is one of the best games of all time. I have finished it and Left Behind multiple times. For me that is a big rarity, as usually I squeeze all I want out of a game and then drop it forever. I adore the game.

But I see no reason to play the remake when the remaster exists. And I would rather Naughty Dog focus on a new IP then continue to recycle this adventure every few years.

I was a little confused. You command your squad like in Guardians of the Galaxy? But "death is permanent" so-your squad can die. Does that mean there is also an Xcom like element of building your squad?

Like others, I would much prefer a horror game set in this universe rather than another shooter.......

I refuse to play games that are not “a rich tapestry of stuff.”

Seriously, looking forward to this one. I am beginning to believe we will actually see it this year.

Arnett's six seasons of playing Bojack Horseman were just full of outstanding voice work (the whole cast was great). This is an excellent choice.

I am not generally interested in these, but I can’t wait to watch TLOU with my wife. She is not a gamer, so this is a chance for her to experience the fantastic story.

I am a fan of the PlayStation brand because of the excellent single player experiences. I am simply not interested in live service games. If PS wants to go that way, it is just fine. I own other consoles, my backlog and games I want to get around to buying could fill a lifetime, and plenty of people enjoy them. But Sony won’t get nearly as much investment from me if this is the route they go.

Even though I thought the ending of Far Cry 5 was a rancid insult to gamers everywhere, I decided to start Far Cry 6.

It is certainly more Far Cry!

Someday, when my grandchildren ask me what I was doing on May 12, 2022, I am going to tell them about this PS5 update. How it changed gaming. How it changed me.

I am not a trophy hunter by any means-I have 16 Plats., and I have been gaming extensively for much longer than trophies have been a thing. I play a game until I am done with it, and if I have a Platinum it means I either got it by accident just playing or there was only a trophy or two left when I finished the game.

That said, I do enjoy trophies a lot. They are a good diary for what you did in a game to look back on later. Sometimes they encourage me to try things in a game I did not think of. And sometimes they cause a funny moment-I am not going to spoil it, but I recently did something in the Ascent that I have done in every video game possible for years and an achievement finally popped for it. I could not stop laughing.

What I absolutely do not care about is my trophy ranking or anything like that. Perfectly fine if other folks do, but that is not why I game. So these easy Platinum trophies are fine with me if people enjoy them (I am certainly not deleting my Telltale game plats!), but they are not for me. I play games to have fun, and would still play them without trophies or achievements. Those are just a cool side benefit that adds a little extra to the game for me.

I am loving Nobody Saves the world! Great game by Drinkbox!

@PenguinL Hang in there! The Horizon FW prologue/tutorial is super boring, but the rest of the game is great.

Star Wars 1414 incoming! 😃

“Lake too shallow…” heh heh. Love it.

I started this last night on GP and am really enjoying it. It is pretty delightful so far.

There is so much I like about Weird West-story, atmosphere etc. But I just hate the camera and controls. Aiming is ridiculous on console. I want to love this game, but I don’t.

I finished the Ascent last night, which was good mindless fun. It ends with a boss fight that is terribly designed, but overall it was a good time-and a great looking game as well.

On to Weird West!

I just want to say: I have fallen asleep during some pretty great games! I have a full time job and a family, and my gaming time is pretty much limited to when the family goes to sleep. I have fallen asleep with controller in hand so many times when I should have just given up and gone to bed instead of trying to play. Thank goodness for the automatic rest mode feature!

That said, I am very sure this game is terrible. I have heard of no one who enjoyed it. This game was on my wish list, and now no longer is.

@nofriendo Thanks a lot I appreciate the kindness. Everyone is recovering well. This was the worst result for one of my plans in a while! 😂

I am playing Horizon, which is great so far. Thank you Guerrilla Games!

I took Friday off to play, something I had not done since Arkham City released in 2015. I was so excited-booted it up-played 10 minutes-and then my wife told me that she and our youngest son tested positive for COVID. So, I didn’t get far, and it was a tough day. But I managed to play some last night in between bringing soup and juice to people, and the family is recovering very well-everyone has as many shots as they are eligible for, and symptoms are pretty mild-everyone is going to be fine, just feeling lousy.

So I don’t know how much more I will actually play this weekend, but can’t wait to get back to it. Game looks amazing and feels great to play. Looks like another home run.

@TheCollector316 It is Nightwar with more character/story development and a further refined combat system. It is in the LL universe, but you need to know nothing about it to play. You are in for a treat!

Doesn’t seem like a great sale, but I want to take this opportunity to say that Ruined King is fantastic. If you liked Battle Chasers: Nightwar (also awesome) or just like turn based combat, you should play this. It is Battle Chasers, but with everything refined and even better.

Hyped for Friday. HYPED.

The first game was really good, so more of the same sounds great-in about six months when Horizon and the other February games are done.

I am playing Spiritfarer. I have not been this charmed by a game in a long time.

Me and my youngest son played together for a few hours just this morning, building up our boat and helping our friends. The game can be sad, but it is also delightful.

@Sorteddan I really enjoyed Children of Morta, and I think more people should play it. Everyone praises Hades for adding narrative elements/story progression to rogue like (and it deserves it!), but Morta does the same thing very well and no one talks about it.

Have fun!

@Kidfunkadelic83 Thanks! I hope you have a great weekend too!

@Dodoo Thank you so much! We are doing great-married for well over two decades and she hasn't thrown me out yet! I hope your weekend is full of great games!

I always get a little sad about stories like this, because my wife and I had a very important second date at SEGA World in London where we met studying abroad. Our first date was great, but it was pretty formal-we went to a play and a nice dinner. But I think my future wife wanted to make sure I could be relaxed fun too, so she suggested Planet Hollywood and SEGA for date #2. We had a blast over hours of bad fries and arcade games, and by date #3 we were talking seriously about our future together.

That date was more than two decades ago. London SEGA World is long closed, and now all the others are officially joining it. But I truly believe that that date at that arcade helped change the course of my whole life. This is why games rule!

Playstation will always be my favorite console, and I have been a Plus subscriber for a long time. But unless Spartacus is really great, I think I am going to drop the service when my latest membership expires in a few months. For me:

a.It has been months since PS Plus gave me any monthly games I haven't played that I am interested in. These are absolutely highly subjective, but the value for me has been low. And I now have game pass, if I want a lot of "no additional charge games."

b.I played/owned everything I wanted in the PS Plus collection before it existed.

c.I don't play online much anymore, but I have a number of other platforms I can play online on when the urge does strike.

d.Much like the monthly games, I have not found the plus discounts at the store very compelling for a long time now.

e. Cloud storage is the feature I will probably miss the most-but there are other ways to store saves, and I am certainly not going to pay much for cloud storage (especially when other platforms offer it free).

I am not saying this to complain, as I know Plus holds a lot of value for a lot of folks. It did for me too-it just hasn't in a while.

I always play just one game at a time and take my time, so I had to pick one of the big February games to order. For me that is Horizon FW; the first entry is one of my favorite games of last generation.

But eventually, I am going to play Dying Light 2, Elden Ring, and Sifu. I am excited about all of them, 2/22 is just an embarrassment of gaming riches.

@Iver 😂

Mr. Croft is a lucky man. Looking forward to the review!

I am playing Outriders. It is.......adequate. Just waiting for Forbidden West, honestly.
