Been playing Wild Hearts lol
putting Like a Dragon Isshin on the shelf till i get sick of wild hearts...

[SkinnyPupp]

I played most of Marvel Midnight Suns and liked it, but the game outlasted my interest.

FYI, Sony cut their price for the God of War bundle to $670 for all retailers.

Oversupplied perhaps?

Which games do you play?

Wish there was more support for “regular” games with such a hefty price tag

[radeonboy]

I picked up the PSVR2 at launch as well and will likely return it - I've been getting nausea and migraines every time I use it which makes it hard to enjoy properly No point in keeping it if it makes me unwell...

[GLOW]

does xbox have a product to compete with PSVR for their series x?

[GLOW]

anyone trying diablo iv beta? i'm d/l'ing it now 76gb for xbox

i don't have live so would be good to know if it's worse getting that and the game as i hear it's required to play since the game is 100% online

[Tim Budong]

played teh closed beta last weekend, it lets u do the standard diablo stuff that i miss and love so dearly hahaha

haven't been able to get on the open beta tho to play moreee

[GLOW]

had a 36min queue got in, played about an hour or so and then got d/c'd, reconnected, another 36min queue so i was like and decided to take a break, will try again and off peak time.

i heard ppl complaining it was melting PC GPU's so i know my current laptop won't be able to run it so i'm not convinced yet if i want to pay for live for this one... will see if i have friends playing it

i chose necro as i heard it was OP and wanted to see how broken it was

[Razor Ramon HG]

Damn, spent two hours in the game, pretty fun. Gonna stop though, I was starting to do all the side quests and stuff (I just got to the city) and I found out the characters aren't transferring over.

Gonna just wait until it comes out before I go full quest completionist, lol

[GLOW]

killed the last boss from beta (i think)
decent game, seems polished, UI reminds me of d3

don't think i'm paying $90 and xb live though for it

FYI - costco has black or white xbox wireless controllers on sale for $36.99
i picked one up as a backup

[SkinnyPupp]

It will probably end up on Game Pass once the acquisition is complete. A very basic version at least

I play Pavlov, RE Village, Gran Turismo, Walking Dead S&S.

It exceeded my expectations, I actually got inserts so I don't have to wear glasses within it and it made everything so much better.

I recommend it, but its sooooooo expensive.

[GLOW]

if anyone had stadia and find the controller useless you can unlock bluetooth and use it as a BT controller.

i just picked up a 8bitdo ver 2 adapter to use it for the switch and it's pretty sweet. it's a good quality controller with a nice weight to it.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Yeah, I unlocked my Stadia controller a while back.

If anyone wants it, hit me up, lol. It's just been in my drawer collecting dust since I use my XBOX one.

[nabs]

I've been playing NFS Unbound for the past week, I got it on sale at 45 bucks, I would say it was well spent.

I think the game is great, cheesy dialogue, amazing visuals, very intense races, I actually feel myself tensing up and twisting with the turns as I play and I have not had that feeling for video games in a long time. I really like what they did with the heat mechanics, it makes the game so much more intense. You are able to outrun certain cops, if you learn the map enough you can go into underground areas to avoid helo's or drive thru back alleys to avoid the lower level cops.

I have not touched the multi-player, im not much of an online gamer, and I heard this was the main gripe with the game, that it was underdeveloped. The main game certainly looks polished. A very fresh take on graphical elements.

It is definitely worth it at 45, however I would not have paid full price.

[nabs]

ALSO, I finished Uncharted 4 in the Legacy of Thieves(?) Bundle, it is in the PS Plus Extra library, it is probably one of the most polished games I have played on the PS5, it was a wild ride and I definitely recommend it.

[Hondaracer]

To add to the ps plus library I’ve gotta say, Guardians of the galaxy is a AAA title by any measure imo. Fantastic game

It’s one of the very few games like this (one of those games that’s bordering on just watching an interactive story) that pulls is out almost perfectly

There are RPG elements, skins, skill trees, but at the same time the fighting system is easy to use but can become as complicated as you want.

The story is also amazing, I have a feeling the newest movie may follow a similar storyline from what I’ve seen of the previews but I was very pleasantly surprised by it. Paid another $28 or so on top of the regular PS Plus and it would be 10000% worth it if I only played guardians

[SkinnyPupp]

Guardians was on Game Pass and I had it installed, but when I went to actually play it, it was gone from Game Pass

It will probably come back, I am pretty curious to check it out. A lot of people say the same things about it.

Playing TOTK now and it's been pretty fun, but man it's rough playing such an ugly 720p game at 30 fps. I abandoned consoles in the 360/PS3 era because of this, and now I have no choice lol

[donk.]

If anyone is into strategy games, the ps5/4 has Stranded Alien Dawn. (Survival build a base kind of thing)

Don't recall the last time I got this sucked into a game, had to pick it up for the PC as well just to kill time on rainy vacation days

I played Guardians. Got confused by being able to control all the characters at once. Too many buttons and shit. Too old for it I guess haha.

[Hondaracer]

Lol come on, it’s like 2 buttons to control the other characters! Lol

[Razor Ramon HG]

Street Fighter 6 looking good.

https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFight...review_thread/

Averaging out to around a 9/10 at a glance across all reviews.

Probably going to be playing this and Diablo 4 for the next while until Final Fantasy 16 comes out in 3 weeks.
