The Halo infinite beta is pretty legit tbh...best multiplayer they've had in awhile.
Thief is such a great little game. Bought it again for the PS4. (Currently playing on PS5)
it’s only 3 bucks so you guys should do yourselves a favor if you haven’t played it. Beating each chapters in full stealth is a great feeling.

Installed Fifa 2022 last night, ready to delete it already. Hate these yearly paint jobs. I liked when they did a story mode like 3 years ago, it was something fresh, but the dropped it right away.

I always think of Just Cause when Far Cry gets brought up. They're a carbon copy of each other.
They're fun but 60 dollars fun? I think not.

I thought you hated multiplayer games? The “solo” mode in this game is complete and utter garbage. Or so I’ve heard.
Most complaints I’ve heard and come up in discussions is that it disables all types of game progression. Essentially making the mode a testing mode since you can’t earn skill points, trophies, etc. Makes me wonder why even make a so called solo mode.

Best part of Game Pass is that it extends to PC, so i can download games from the Microsoft Store on my PC as well as the Xbox. i think it's like 15 bucks a month and since it includes xbox live gold with it, its a decent service. many times i've bought a game only to realize i could have just played it on Game Pass, now i always double check.

Wow I knew IGN gave Deathloop a 10/10 but Gamespot too? How much fucking ad space did Arkane buy on their two sites? Then EGM? God everyone gave this fucking game 10/10, what a joke. I remember it being a huge deal when IGN gave shitty GTA 4 at 10/10 since it was its first perfect score given out since Ocarina of Time. Only way a game can be 10/10 in my book is if I can make an argument for it being the best game I ever played.

Ghost of Tsushima is pretty killer on PS5 at 60 fps. Much more fun to go in loud and challenge everyone, as the standoff mechanic where you're timing counters is pretty cool while the stealth feels like Xbox 360 AC. JP voices are way better too IMO. Jin Sakai sounds too nice and calm in English, but sounds mad as fuck like in a Kurosawa movie with the JP voices.

Only Metroids I have played are the NES and Famicom Disk System original (FDS has much better sound) and the Game Boy one that AM2R is based off of. Don't know why I never played Super Metroid considering how much I enjoyed the first two. I really played the shit out of Metroid II on Game Boy when it came out.
Took me until a couple of months ago to play Castlevania Symphony of the Night for the first time (and fucking loved it), so maybe I should make Super Metroid one of my early 2022 games. No chance I'll play it in 2021 since I'm currently playing the very long Yakuza 5 and will jump immediately into Shin Megami Tensei V after that (SMT V was the whole reason I bought a Switch).

I’ve always liked the campaigns of these games. The problem, and where they lose me is multiplayer. They dedicate basically the whole game to it which turns me off. Haven’t played a cod game since Ghost.

Other than Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart 2021 has been a terrible year for pretty much all of gaming, but February is going to be nuts with the new Horizon, Dying Light 2, and especially Elden Ring.

Hasn't been officially released yet. Teams are building games with it, but licensees are not allowed to release games with it yet. Plus, frankly, it's still a bit buggy and lacking optimizations in certain areas.
It's also not uncommon to take a couple of years to start really getting the best out of the hardware. Most of these engines are not full rewrites, they're gradual updates incorporating new tech, and some of them need to be retooled fairly drastically to support new pipelines.
It'll get substantially better, but it'll take some time.

I've been incredibly hard on this game, because the open world aspect is so poorly done IMO and all of the side quests are repetitive and offer next to nothing for your time. So I decided to just focus on the main quest line and the companion quests instead of clearing the map, and it's actually pretty good now that I've gotten into the meat of the story.

Really? I thought the oposite.
Side quests are actually pretty engaging as it delves into personal quarrels between bandits, family, betrayal and so on. Lots of variaty. Even mythical ones.
At least do the mythic tales as those will get you powerful techniques, new swords and armors which will make the game even more awesome as you make mince meat out of the enemy. The heavenly strike for instance is a must if you want to end group fights in seconds.

Side quests are actually pretty engaging as it delves into personal quarrels between bandits, family, betrayal and so on. Lots of variaty. Even mythical ones.
At least do the mythic tales as those will get you powerful techniques, new swords and armors which will make the game even more awesome as you make mince meat out of the enemy. The heavenly strike for instance is a must if you want to end group fights in seconds.
Don't know what to tell you, the vast majority of the game is boring. I can dedicate only so much time to riding a horse over mostly empty countryside to complete a cookie cutter quest, chase a fox, or take a bath for the 20th time.

Just buy it online. They usually have free shipping on games. They'll have Deathloop for $25 too. I would pick that up if I didn't have three games I really want to play coming in February plus Shin Megami Tensei V right now. But seeing how deep it'll go in my backlog I'll wait for $15 or $20 on Deathloop. Oh and they'll have AC Valhalla PS5 for $20 also.
I already got those 3 Assassins games I wanted a few months back. They went back on sale for 52 bucks so I made sure to grab it. They included the PS5 version of Valhalla which I was surprised to see.

Shit didn't even notice, but they have RE Village for $20 too at Walmart starting the 22nd. Man I want to play that but I won't since it's a story sequel to RE 7 and I'm waiting for PSVR 2 to come out so I can play RE 7 in VR before touching 8.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition conquered. Platted all 3 games. Took me just under a month.
Enjoyed the first game the most as it was the most expansive and more explorable game of the trilogy. 2 And 3 were pretty much on rails.

Yeah. Gamestop doesn't have Rift Apart in their B2G1 deal though if you buy new games, and if you order used you're getting generic Gamestop cases most of the time though. Best Buy has RE8 from $20 right now. Rift Apart is $50. Miles Morales is $30 everywhere and Miles Morales Ultimate is $50 I think.

Well, as someone who owned the OG Xbox and played CE when it came out in 2001, played it on PC online, and spent countless hours playing Halo 2 when it came out in high school...IMO Halo 4 if the top tier of all Halo games, but that is a highly unpopular opinion amongst Halo fans. but i've also read almost all of the novels, so my love of that game is because of how they expanded the lore and story. So i'd say it's the best MP since Halo 4, and top 3 overall along with 4 and probably Halo 2. A lot of ppl didnt like Halo 4 MP because of the loadouts and armor abilities but i thought that shit was fun as hell. too many crybabies bitched about it which is how we ended up with the abortion that is Halo 5. glad 343 is getting back on track

So I was ordered to buy a XBox Series X + games at work and get reimbursed for it. Any tips of how to get your hands on one of dem at MSRP?
Easiest way is to do the XBox Series X All Access, which is where you finance a Series X for $34.99 a month for 24 months (0% APR) and it comes with XBox Games Pass Ultimate for 24 months. So basically you're paying MSRP for the system and then a tiny bit less than MSRP for two years of Game Pass Ultimate. Not the greatest deal since you can often find Game Pass Ultimate cheaper than the $14.99 a month MSRP, but better than paying scalpers. And a bunch of Series X got set aside for it since it gets people to buy two years of game pass at near full MSRP. For instance, Best Buy shows it being available right now with the system ready for pickup in 6 days if you pass the credit check.
Your other options are probably to buy a Walmart+ subscription and then buy a Series X on Monday when it becomes available for Walmart+ subscribers, or buy the Best Buy Total Tech membership to get first crack at their Series X releases (probably on Black Friday). Or you could line up at Gamestop on Thanksgiving to get one. Or you could get Gamestop's Power Up Rewards Pro or whatever it's called and try to buy a Series X bundle in one of their drops. Though I think the Thanksgiving drops will be in store. Not quite sure.
You're not getting one for MSRP without either lining up early for Thanksgiving or watching restocks with a hawkeye though most likely.
A forgotten gem since we're talking about PS2 classics.

I was surprised reading how easy it was to just do that when I looked on the XBox reddit after my brother started looking for one. If you want a Series X by itself for MSRP it sounds like a real bastard though. Personally I'm going to wait until next year and then buy if Starfield looks good. Definitely expecting Series X to be a killer console in a year or two and wish PS5 had gone with the Series X gpu.

Yeah you're right. Guess I'm just surprised this was literally the only time I have ever seen a good B2G1 deal. Target does B2G1 deals all the time but they're terrible because they'll jack up the price of a bunch of games to $60 or $70 when they do it so you get no savings, you just buy 3x as much. Same with amazon. But this one was really nice since the promotion was done on top of good sale prices. The fact they closed the sale down so quickly makes me think they must have realized they were losing a bunch of money on it from online orders (sale went live at around midnight and was dead by noon Friday morning).

Short if you're just talking Miles Morales. Though if you haven't played Spiderman on PS4, highly worth getting the ultimate edition, as Spiderman PS5 at 60 fps with raytracing is really impressive. Great action too.

Reviews look great, community feedback is really positive, so figured I'd give it a try at $25 from Walmart (I think Gamestop has this price too).
- Elder Scrolls
Have you never played Skyrim? Amazing game, but it's from 2011 so will look really dated now that we're nearing 2022.

Not my style of game but generally viewed very favorably by people who like fast action fps.

Another more of the same. I always been a fan of the series, but this one wasn't as enjoyable this time around. Lots of nickel and diming as well, with the levels.
Miles Morales is too expensive for what the game is, a glorified DLC. How that game is still going for 50 bucks is beyond me.
Hitman always intrigued me though I have never played it. Stealth games are my jam but I cant quite commit to this series since IO Interactive makes their game work online only (Only saves progress while connected) so that has always kept me away from it.
I think I need a break. :lol

I started playing Tales of Arise. Super tropey anime styled JRPG game :lol but i'm enjoying the gameplay so far. combat is fun and has some interesting mechanics the more skills you unlock
Been thinking about buying that one. probably wont because it's ridiculously long and the dialogue goes on for days.

I have only played Far Cry 3 and 4. They're not NieR Automata, God of War, or Persona 5, but they're a lot of fun. Between FC3 and FC4, most people like 3 better. Probably mostly because it came out earlier, but it also has an incredible VA performance by Michael Mando (Nacho on Better Call Saul). I liked 4 better because I liked the mountain scenery of 4 a lot more than the beach setting of 3, the story was more interesting in 4 IMO, and the tower climbs were better in 4.
If you find you like these, I highly recommend checking out Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon on PS3. It's this wild 1980s movie view of a dystopian future.
I wouldn't sweat missing the Crysis bundle. Crysis 1 is an awesome game. Crysis 3 is dogshit, it was a terrible game that only ever got popular on PC for having really high end graphics for the time. But we're talking high end PC graphics for 2013, not anything that's going to blow you away in 2021 on PS5. Haven't played 2 so can't comment on it.
Tell me you have played the Bioshock games, those are incredible if you're looking for single player FPS. The trilogy isn't on sale now but goes on sale all the time. Also Doom 2016 is $6 right now if you haven't played it and is supposed to be amazing for people who enjoy those style of games. Prey is another game shooter fans seem to love and it's $12 in this sale.

I definitely have. I played the first Bioshock and quit because I felt it was...boring?
Tried it again years later and beat it. Skipped the second game and played Bioshock Infinite while it was going for free on PS+ years ago. That Prey game is always going on sale as a bundle with the Dishonored games so I never pay attention to it having not only played those games but having them still.

Dude the Ocarina decompilation was almost finished last time I heard about it a couple of weeks ago. Very likely we'll have a really high quality PC native port within the next year just like we have with Super Mario 64 right now. If you haven't played the PC native Super Mario 64, it is outstanding and far superior to the version Nintendo released on the Switch for Super Mario 3D AllStars. Has modern dual stick control and even raytracing.

Assassins Creed Odyssey is awful. The side quests and quests in general are incredibly long and on top of that, boring.
I really hate starting a quest just to be told I need to go to an entirely different island to complete it. And all for shitty armors that isn’t even worth it. I’d play the main missions only if it wasn’t for the retarded leveling system in this game that forces you to play side stuff just so you can get to a certain level.

Never got into Warzone much. Did at first but every other lobby had at least 1 cheater. Sucks to be moving along just swell and your team gets wiped by a sniper from 300 meters through walls.
Someone gave me a Cronus zen, but I gave my PS4 to my grandson and I never put CoD on my PS5 so haven't even tried the zen. It's been in a drawer for months.

Yeah I heard it wasn't the greatest but at least they brought back the Assassin and stealth elements to it which was completely abandoned in Odyssey.
Odyssey is not a stealth game. Pretty much an open RPG game where you just fight a bunch of enemies and survive.

Isn't the Arkham Knight PC port top notch now? Rocksteady originally handed the port off to some mobile dev (just like the GTA Trilogy lol) and the port was so bad it spawned the Steam refund, but now I hear you can run Arkham Knight at ~100 fps even on older hardware like 1060/580.

It means the hardware in your PS5 is doing the rendering, not some expensive computer in the studio rendering it and then making it into a video.

I’m actually fed up with zombie shit, and that’s a big reason for me to tune it out. It’s not just this game, dying light was the same for me (and I know a bunch of posters swear by it here). The horror genre in general I just can’t enjoy in video games or TV/series. It is me though, not the products.

Horror games work best when constructed linearly and is narratively cohesive. Dead Space and Aliens do a great job at building suspense and having a great story to support it.
Not really into open world zombie apocalypse games either.

Only zombie game I ever played was 7DTD. I like the sandbox world except that it all gets erased every time they update the game. My ideal zombie game would marry with a game like Elite Dangerous and you'd be a galactic zombie infestation exterminator. Basically go to a planet, land in a safe enough zone and start wrecking house. Then you could build the place back with transports and such, and off to the next one. Of course you'd be able to leave the planet if shit got too hairy. It would take a lot of processing power and storage space, otherwise it would be repetitive as fuck.

Beautiful graphically, especially in areas with lots of cherry blossom trees.

I’m actually fed up with zombie shit, and that’s a big reason for me to tune it out. It’s not just this game, dying light was the same for me (and I know a bunch of posters swear by it here). The horror genre in general I just can’t enjoy in video games or TV/series. It is me though, not the products.
There are some great horror games.tbqh. but most of the great ones are not mainstream.
Checkout little nightmares
A masterpiece of a.horror game
Looks like those ps+ games that were leaked were nailed on the head. Can’t wait to try Dirt 5.
Havent played but from what ive read and seen dirt 5 is quite shit when compared to previous entries of the series tbh

Yeah I don’t expect much from these games. They’re more for palate cleansing than anything. Been playing too many RPGs so I need to cool things down with something easy to pick up and put down without blood, sweat and tears.

Been playing Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart the last couple of days and it's just not hooking me, not like the PS4 game did. Don't really see where the graphics are all that impressive either, at least not compared to Ghost of Tsushima or Spiderman Remastered, which are still the two best looking games I have played on the PS5. Oh well, only spent $10 on it. The hair effects are cool and look way better than Hairworks on The Witcher 3 for example, but game is a bit underwhelming so far and not blown away by the raytracing like say in Control or Spiderman Remastered. Not really seeing where the 9/10 reviews came from so far, though I'm probably only about 10% in, maybe it gets better.
Finally beat AC Valhalla. Clocked in at 95 hours.
I’d say I need an additional 10-15 hours to mop up.

Was the campaign decent story wise at least?

No. Not at all.
Game has so many arcs you forget what the main story even is about. They all end up with you raiding a castle and killing X person. Massive copy paste job.

I take it back, starting to really enjoy Rift Apart now. Took a couple of days to click but have been playing the hell out of it today.

I thought it was okay. I was expecting to be blown away by the graphics but it was alright, imo tbh. I guess I bought into the hype. I felt there wasn't much boss/enemy variety. Demons souls on the other hand was amazing.

Yeah the graphics are nice but Spiderman Remastered and Ghost of Tsushima were the games that blew me away graphically on PS5. Gameplay has become a lot of fun. Well except when it turns out one of the trophies is missable because an elevator gets shut down after you beat the boss on one of the planets and it requires some difficult jumps to get back in the area.

Yeah I agree. I liked Miles Morales but it felt like a fucking DLC. I'm currently on Iki Island and I'm thoroughly enjoying it as well as the legends mode. Sadly I burned through my backlog a lot faster than I anticipated. I need more PS5 games to drop.

Might have to wait for Days of Play to get good sale prices again. I went nuts buying stuff around Thanksgiving when there were some great sales.

Good riddance to this bitch ass shitty, buggy game. I can honestly say this has been the only game I have played for more than 100 hours. 132 hours is a Milestone for me. Not even persona 5 took me 100 hours to beat. (Admittedly I haven't platted that game)

132 hours into a game you didn't like. I don't get it. Why?

Got that shit pre-ordered already. February is going to be sick with that, Elden Ring, and Horizon.
