BIG3

Agree 100% with the 10/10 rating. A true masterpiece of a game. It is one of 2 games I've ever bothered to plat twice and a game I keep coming back to just for "one more" delivery.

PS5: I have been playing Dragon Age Veilguard daily since release. I have already clocked in 40+ hours and have enjoyed every second of it.
Xbox: Resubscribed to Gamepass to play Cod 6. Finished the campaign which was a blast. I might play MW2 and 3 now even though I have heard their campaigns are weaker.
Switch: I have made a new habit lately of sidequesting in TotK when the TV is busy. Such a brilliant game!

I certainly hope so!

@BAMozzy I'm pretty sure stop motion in the cut scenes is a design choice made by the developer.

This is incredible! One of my top 5 games of all time.

All three for me!

Can't believe Stellar Blade didn't make the cut. Smoothest gameplay I've experienced in years. Story was kind of weak but not enough to not be recognized as a GOTY contender in my book. Looking at this list though I have to go with Astro Bot. Maybe DAV but its too early.

@JaffeGaffe There is no way you can prove that claim you just made. And you cant convince me the game is bad because Im playing it, enjoying it and I havent experienced any technical issues with it. If you dont like the games thats ok, find something else.

@Ricky-Spanish All I know is the game looks good, plays good and is a lot of fun.

@Ricky-Spanish Resolution looks good on my tv. Thought it looked weird on the barfight trailer on YT but in game its nice. Way better than FF7R imo.

@evan23 Personally Ill never understand people giving 1/10 ratings to a complete games that doesnt have any major technical difdiculties. On the other hand 48% have given it 8 or better so I wouldnt say its that divisive really.

Absolutely loving it. Been putting in near 30hrs since release. Being back in Thedas is like coming home. Except for the music being a bit bland and unreconizable, everything else is top tier the way I see it from the exploration, characters (I literally care about all my companions, especially Manfred, lol), story, combat, sidequests and graphics. I was sceptical to the design at first but it honestly looks great!
Also. Big credit to Bioware for releasing a full game at launch with no DLC, season plans or always online crap.
I thought Stellar Blade would be my GOTY this year but now I'm not sure anymore.

On Gamepass I just finished CoD 6 campaign. That was a good one. Moving on to zombie mode now.
On PS5 Im playing Dragon Age Veilguard, or Manfred Dating Sim as I like to call it. I've gotten pretty far and this game is a GOTY contender in my book. Absolutely love to be back in Thedas.

Flight Simulator and Stalker 2. Followed by Indy in December. Currently on Dragon Age and CoD. This year is ending with a bang!

Im not surprised! Even Im playing it and I never cared for CoD at all.

@Gabrielmpf thanks for the recommendations!

@themightyant I feel like that literally goes for any game these days. So I stopped listening and instead just buy whatever I find interesting. I only skip games if they have technical issues.

@StaminanX Its a bit lighter but definetly still there, I wouldnt called it stripped ,thats tooharsh imo. I am having a blast with the game so far. I was sceptic to the art style but now that Im actually playing I think it looks great. The mood is also real nice.

Currently playing the campaign and really enjoying it! Feels like a blockbuster action movie of the best kind. Just what I needed right now. Also, this is my first CoD game but now I kind of want to try some of the other CoD games too.

I was pretty much going to buy this regardless, and now that the reviews are out I've already preordered. Been waiting 10 years, and knowing BioWare really needs a banger I'm confident this game will be a good time!

I put in my preorder yesterday. Thursday can't come soon enough!!

This is wonderful news!

Playing it now and absolutwly loving it..the atmosphere is top tier.

@Fenbops I enjoyed Medium so much. One of the first games I played this gen. I knew I was in the minority to enjoy it but I didn't know it was this bad. lol.

Thats great! Gives more choice!

If this is true its kind of weird it wasnt announced during the partner direct no?

Played it on PS5 but whatever. This was my GOTY last year. Collected all trophies and currently doing an ng+ run. Really looking forward to Lake House next week. Fingers crossed they will add at least one gold trophy. And when that is my only "complaint" this game is a 10/10 in my book!

Another weekend of jumping between TotK end game and Alan Wake 2 ng+ while I'm waiting for Lake House arriving next week.

Ryse looks amazing still, but I got tired of the combat real quick.

AW2 is such a great game. Replaying it as we speak. So happy to hear the Lake House DLC coming next week.

Looking forward to seeing the second DLC of Alan Wake 2.

This game will have me resubbing day one.

I kind of want this!

Oooh. I hope thenlake house reveal comes with a date!

I feel like this deal will make a lot of sense in the future. In 4 years we can look back and see if it was worth it from an xbox player pov.

Stalker 2 and flight simulator will make me resubscribe.

@CutchuSlow I think they pay Google to do that. I remember reading a while back Xbox didnt agree with this practice and was looking for a way to change it, and now they have. I hope the option comes to Europe soon.

Wish this was worldwide...

Personally I enjoyed Shattered Space. I dont agree with most of the negatives I've read about it tbh.

Played the demo and loved it. But I wont buy it now because Persona 5 burned me out on their formula.

@cornholio005 I dont understand anything you wrote.

This is great news I think. I hope more resources lead to releases with more content on day one.

I'm on a lovely repeat binge while I'm waiting for the new Dragon Age.

Switch: Sidequests/adventures in TotK.
Series X: BG3, started a second playthrough as a Bard this time.
PS5: Alan Wake 2, The final draft (ng+).

Recently finished:
Shattered Space DLC. Enjoyed everything it had to offer. There are some things I wished would have been there but nothing to complain about. If you liked the base game I'm sure you will like Shattered Space as well.

I also played the Metaphor demo and it seems great!

Enjoy your weekend!

@Ryu_Niiyama No. Its a standalone affair.

I finished Shattered Space yesterday, as well as all sidequests and achievements and I must say I really enjoyed it. I feel like expectations was too high for this release. I came in thinking I would get a new story, new location and new sidequests.
While most negative reviews seem to be mad about frame rate issues, bugs, lack of new spaceships, companions etc. I agree on the frame rate dips being annoying at times and I hope they fix it, but the way I see it, this was supposed to be a story dlc and not a big bug squash. Speaking of bugs, I got no bugs at all in my playthrough, none.
My only complaint about the DLC now that I'm done with it is that I wish the final reward for finishing the questline would be new weapons, and an OP spacesuit on top of the reward we got.
Everything else was good or great in my book. Planet was beautiful, story had me hooked and exploring was fun, especially in the buggy. I played with Andraje as my companion even though Sarah is my main this round.
Last time I commented I said its a 7. Now I feel like its an 8. And I'm really looking forward to more upgrades in the future.
Sidenote, I would love if Bethesda hosted a contest where creators/fans/modders could win a solar system to create story DLC'S in.

Loving the demo so far!

I finished the story in the DLC yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Running through the extra sidequests now and still have a few misc achievements left. I understand every criticism mentioned here (except for gamebreaking bugs as I havent encountered any, yet). I'd give it a 7.

I'm really looking forward to messing around with the mods just like I have in Starfield.

@GamingFan4Lyf I would have never gotten into Xbox if it wasnt for the Series S being dirt cheap. Couple years later I got an X as well and I use my Xbox consoles way more than my PS5 and Switch. Xbox is in my book without a doubt the winner this generation, even if their sales numbers can't compete.

I am thrilled to play Shattered Space. It really is a great expansion and I'm having so much fun with it. Running around with Andreja is especially good.
