A lot is happening today with the community migration today, so I will keep this brief:

I beat Tchia. It's wonderful, but has it's flaws, mainly combat. I think it deserved the scores it received, and I can't say enough how much I loved it. If you even remotely are drawn to it, I would highly recommend giving it a play through.

I am about halfway through Uncharted: Lost Legacy and it is really bringing back those Uncharted 4 vibes I wanted it to. Really loving the relationship between Chloe and Nadine and I also find myself marveling at the graphical details.

What are you playing? Let us know below!

I started playing Alan Wake and so far it's interesting and it looks pretty good. I've had my eye on Exoprimal. Might wait for a sale tho $60 seems a little steep for a multiplayer.

Making my way through FF16. According to the PS5 dashboard completion percentage I'm at about 70% complete right now. So I might be able to finish over the weekend, but having a six-year-old at home might make that harder to accomplish.

Either way, I'm really enjoying it despite it being absolutely archaic in terms of its actual game design. It's really carried by its presentation, soundtrack, and decent story. They've arguably stripped away too much of what typically defines a Final Fantasy game here, but I'm still having a great time by just choosing to appreciate what it does do well.

That's great! Glad you're having a good time.

Jedi Survivor. It’s buggy and glitchy and not a world beater game but I can wield a lightsaber. A woman of simple pleasures.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am still waiting on performance improvements before I pick this up. I loved FO!

[–] Jackthelad 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried Fallen Order, but navigating was an absolute nightmare. Spent about two hours running around in circles trying to get back to the ship, then I gave up on the game and never went back to it.

Just downloaded Dysmantle, as I heard good things about it, looking forward to trying it out over the weekend.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 2 points 1 year ago

Snowrunner, just like I've been doing for nearly two years now.

Is it that replayable?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi! I'm currently on my second playthrough of The Last of Us: Part 2. The first time around, the PS5 patch was released a week after I completed the game, so now I'm enjoying the 60FPS upgrade. I have a stack of games to get through and as a parent, my time is limited. I have Death Stranding, Skywalker Saga, Cyberpunk 2077 and probably a few more I'm forgetting. :-)

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a parent myself, I wont even post my backlog here. It's soooo long

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't normally play games through twice but after the excellent HBO adaptation, I wanted to play the games again. So it was my third time on the original game using the PS4 remastered version for the second time and the second time with the PS5.

I never played both games one after the other like this, so now the storyline makes more sense and I'm enjoying it a lot more than the first time. I have such a bad memory.

I'm really enjoying it, I think I'm around half way through. The combat is really fun, I just wish the performance was a little better.

[–] mv777711 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Witcher 3 mostly. And a bit of Street Fighter. Maybe some Rocket League.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just reinstalled witcher 3 recently. I never finished it. Did they ever add PC/PS5 cross progression?

[–] mv777711 2 points 1 year ago

I’m not sure tbh. I played the original Witcher on PC a long time ago and the save file was lost at some point. I just started TW3 with the default choices.

Just got a console thru a nice sale recently!! I'm new to PS gaming (haven't played much gen games too aside from the occasional PC ports), so have been checking out PS Plus games.

I'm playing FF7R remake these days, and while I really enjoyed the original, this one I have mixed feelings for. It's got nice elements here and there, but the amount of filler is really getting to me. Plus all the times you have to walk slower.

Still, I am enjoying myself, just feels less satisfying knowing how the original went. Curious to see how Intergrade will play (might skip if it's more of the same).

A bit of Battlefield 1 the best online shooter I've had the pleasure to experience and South Park The Fractured But Whole a pretty fun RPG that feels just like you're playing an episode from the show.

I'm about 15 hours into octopath traveler 2. its been a long time since i've played a JRPG like this one. the story and design are great so far. Getting a little bored with the grindiness of dungeons but that's the nature of things in this type of game. The amount of choices you can make as any character with their battles at any time is mind boggling, which makes boss fights really strategic but a regular fight against grunts can be tedious.

[–] IronHighway 3 points 1 year ago

Diablo 4. Been a while since I’ve been so involved in a video game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Beat Saber. It's a fun workout. Trying to play almost every track I have, both base and DLC.

Final Fantasy 16! Trying to savor it as it feels like an event that only comes once a decade now.

Finishing up FF16. I’m on mission 44 of 49 but they throw 10+ side missions at you in between each main mission so it’s probably going to be a while before I wrap everything up.

Just finished ff16 and starting Jedi survivor

[–] Jackthelad 2 points 1 year ago

The Crew Motorfest beta. Maybe try a bit more of Dysmantle too, see if it grabs me or not. Played a couple of hours but I'm still not sure yet.

[–] WeexYtC 2 points 1 year ago

Just got Elden Ring so probably that. Maybe a little bit of Resident Evil 8.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just got the console a couple of weeks ago from the wife for my birthday.. working through my first game.. God of War Ragnarok that was bundled in.

Enjoying it but definitely don’t have the twitchy button mashing sequences down.. Guessing being an old fart doesn’t help..

Picked up a few other titles to play over time while they were on sale during the prime day sales.. Spider-Man and Miles.. Cyberpunk.. Horizon Zero

So I have Diablo 4 and FFXVI with about 20 hours each…

And here I am playing the FFX/X-2 remaster for the nostalgia. I’m probably gonna return to FFXVI sooner but man the mid-game death of my favorite character made me take a pause.
