Finished Resident Evil 4 remake yesterday (it was alright) and a friend lent me his RE Requiem so I'll be playing that. Not a big fan of modern Resident Evil, but it looks good so far.
I'm finally trying the Resident Evil 4 remake, which honestly made me wanna play the original again, so I installed that one too, and I'm playing both. I don't think it's gonna surpass the OG but it's good so far. The three headshots to stun an enemy for melee is incredibly stupid though. π
My only question is... As a console player for all my life, I know if buy a PS5 I can play all PS5 games, if I but a Series X I can play all Series X games, if I buy a Switch 2 I can play all Switch 2 games. With something that goes more into PC territory I don't know when we'll reach the point when the "console" will be no longer powerful enough. How will that work?
Didn't remember Crimson Desert was this month! @FraserG if I don't remember wrong DW3 Remaster was delayed with no release date on Koei's official X page, sadly.
Playing and really really enjoying Yakuza Kiwami 3 right now. Already finished Kiryu's story and playing Mine's. I thought it was REALLY short, after reading some comments, but if you do all the side content, it's more than 6 hours long, not 3-4 like I've had read.
It's the same story from Yakuza 1 with a few extra cutscenes. It's still the first story we got back on the PS2. Yakuza stories are always a little convoluted. Aside from some easter eggs or some substory here and there you would be fine. Same with Zero, you miss on a lot of easter eggs or references to the previous five games. Kiwami 1 is a lot less daunting and beginner friendly.
Surprised at how many people chose The Witcher 3. An all time great for sure, but I thought most people had played it already. An easy 10 for me personally.
If anyone wants to try it, I feel like I NEED to day Echo Generation 2 released a demo. Turn-based RPG. It's currently my most hyped game of this year.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 21-22)
I finished Resident Evil Requiem which was just alright in my opinion.
I'm thinking of giving Code Vein a try, or.maybe the Castlevania GBA Collection (already played all those).
Re: Talking Point: 20 Years Later, How Do You Feel About The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion In 2026?

I'm perfectly happy with a +40 hs game and then a +14 hs game in the same package. Never expected it was going to be that long to be honest.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 28 - March 1)

Maybe? I never really play Yakuza doing only the story.
So far I have more than 10 hours of playtime and I still have stuff to do.

It's the same story from Yakuza 1 with a few extra cutscenes. It's still the first story we got back on the PS2.
Yakuza stories are always a little convoluted.
Aside from some easter eggs or some substory here and there you would be fine.
Same with Zero, you miss on a lot of easter eggs or references to the previous five games.
Kiwami 1 is a lot less daunting and beginner friendly.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 21-22)
Playing Yakuza Kiwami 3 right now. Enjoying it a lot.
