MFS 2024 for me, followed by Stalker 2 a day later 😀

I own Series X, PS5 and a Switch. Switch is great for Nintendo exclusives, likewise for PS5 for Sony exclusives. Where possible though, I buy multi-platform games on Xbox. This is partly because I see Xbox as the “underdog” compared to PS5, and I’d rather give them my money than to Sony 😂

I realise I’m in the minority, but it just isn’t for me. I tried out the 2 hour trial on PS+ extra, but I couldn’t get into it.

Downloaded New World Aeternum last night, so look forward to playing that later today. Also playing Diablo IV Vessel of hatred, and mopping up straggler bots in the brilliant Astro bot.

Nothing for me here 🙁 saying that, I should get my moneys worth next month with Stalker 2 and MFS2024.

I don’t want perks, I want more actual games!

I still regularly play this, mostly for the monthly open tour class races. I wish they’d mix things up a bit though, lately almost every race has been dry and sunny 🙄 I’m looking forward to Sunset Peninsula though - I used to like this track and haven’t raced on it in quite some time.

Have almost finished Star Wars Outlaws. The last couple of missions - which are heavy on stealth - are starting to drag. On the whole though I have enjoyed the game. UPDATE Doesn’t look like I’m going to finish it. I’m literally right near the end of the game - “Revelator” mission - and my game has bugged 😡 I’m stuck in space, can’t fast travel anywhere, can’t use hyperdrive…so annoying. It’s quite ironic because I’ve hardly seen any bugs in my play through, then right at the end 🙄
I finally caved this week and bought Space Marine 2. Never played the first one, but am enjoying this one so far. Graphics are really nice too, even in performance mode.
I’ve finished the bulk of Astro bot on PS5, just finishing the mini levels and mopping up missed bots on some of the main levels. Really good game, though don’t agree with Edge magazine’s 10/10 score.
Am thinking of pulling the trigger on Parcel corps. Looks like a fun indie game, though the price - £30 - has surprised me a bit, so might wait for a sale.
Have also downloaded the trial of EAFC 25. Haven’t played FIFA/EAFC in years so am a bit rusty 😂

I’ve got the premium upgrade bundle, but whether I play it or not is another matter as I haven’t touched the base game since last year.

I finally pulled the trigger on this today! Have almost completed Star Wars Outlaws, so was looking for a new game to get stuck into. SM2 is now downloaded and ready to go! 😀

Mine averages around 65-75 Mbps. If I’m going to download a big game, say over 50gb, I try and do it either overnight or when I’m at work.

Still plugging away at Star Wars Outlaws on Series X. Have around 38 hours under my belt now, and even though I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the game I think I’m ready to move on, so will now concentrate on just the main quests.
On PS5 I’m still playing the excellent Astro Bot. I’ve now saved around 210 bots, so still plenty to find.
I’ve just bought indie game Caravan Sand Witch on PS5. Nice, chilled game to play, and loving the Mediterranean vibes.

I hope they haven’t put all their eggs into one basket resulting in just CoD for October. Surely there must be more unannounced titles coming 🤔

Maybe they were worried about being upstaged by Ghost of Yotei 😂

Haven’t played COD in years, so not really interested. Could give it a go as it’s on GP, but the install size always puts me off. I already have GP ultimate and keeping it, but that’s more for titles like Stalker 2 and MFS 2024.

Star Wars Outlaws (Series X). Clocked up around 30 hours so far and still enjoying it. Have only this week gone to Tatooine for the first time. Could have gone earlier but was saving it 😂 saying that, I still haven’t gone to Mos Eisley yet - I’m saving that now 🤣

Astro Bot (PS5). Serious GOTY contender here. I’m only doing 1 or 2 levels a day, and just taking my time. Amongst all the family friendly levels there are some really tricksy ones too!

The Plucky Squire (PS5/PS+ extra) Really nice concept, and love the way the game seamlessly transitions between 2D and 3D. However, I’m not a fan of the word puzzles, which are very tiresome 🥱

@JayJ It already has a release date - 19 Nov 2024

This is day 1 for me. Reduced install sizes are always welcome 🙂 glad they’ve reworked the “world updates” - that was a bit of a bugbear of mine in the last game.

These devs have absolutely no respect for our time! 😉

Is it me or are these batches of new GP additions getting smaller? Effectively only 2 titles for me here as I’m not a PC gamer.

Pretty much the same two games I was playing last weekend - Astro Bot (PS5) and Star Wars Outlaws (Series X). I want to buy/play Space Marine 2, but it will have to wait until I finish one of the other aforementioned games.

Haven’t bought it yet - too busy with Astro bot and Star Wars outlaws - but when I do it will be on Series X 🙂

I was possibly interested in the PS5 Pro (I bought the PS4 Pro), but at £700 which doesn’t even include a disc drive…PASS. Even if I could afford it, I can’t justify spending that much money on a mid-generation console.

I’ve done a lot of the (stealth) missions in Mirogana, so have probably done the one mentioned. However, I was doing another stealth quest on Akiva where you have to break into an Imperial base (the droidsmith quest) and just kept getting caught 😡 I ended up following a YouTube video on exactly what path to take 😂

I have it installed, but Star Wars Outlaws and Astro bot are keeping my busy right now.

Mostly jumping between Star Wars outlaws (Series X) and Astro Bot (PS5). Have played around 17-18 hours on SWO and am really enjoying it. Astro Bot was only released yesterday so have only played around 2 hours but it’s been great fun so far. Trying to limit my gaming sessions on Astro because I know it’s not a huge game and I don’t want to rush through it.

This is on my wishlist but I have too many other games to play right now, and the next few months looks stacked too. Maybe by the time there’s a lull in new releases this will be on Gamepass 😃

@Lup the Avatar game is nowhere near as good as Star Wars Outlaws, and I liked the Avatar movies. Avatar (the game) looks gorgeous, but that’s about it. I got bored with it very quickly. Obviously this is just my humble opinion, I’m just saying watch some YouTube videos first, or if you can try the game for free first do that. Glad you’re enjoying Star Wars Outlaws, I’m loving it so far.

Mostly playing Star Wars Outlaws, which I’m loving so far. It has a good balance of exploration, combat, and stealth, and I haven’t even done any space combat yet! Have mostly been doing stuff on Toshara (the windy planet), including side quests and unlocking abilities through the experts. Nix is quite cute, and often very helpful. This is the first game probably since Stellar Blade where I actually look forward to getting home and playing it 😀

I’ve been playing the Gold edition since Tuesday 🙂 Really enjoying it so far. Don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but haven’t had no bugs either, played around 6-7 hours.

This is definitely on my radar, though the next few weeks I’m gonna be busy with Star Wars Outlaws and Astro Bot. Saying that, if this reviews well I may not be able to wait 🤪

Free credits? Jeez, I already have several million unspent credits in the game 🙄

Unfortunately my TV doesn’t support the 40fps option 🙁 I’ve been playing in performance mode and haven’t really had any issues. I’m sure Ubisoft will be further optimising the game anyway. Another interesting point in the DF video was regarding the widescreen (21:9) picture option. If you use it in normal gameplay (it defaults to it anyway for cut-scenes) it seems you actually lose some of the picture. Rather than optimising the picture for widescreen, it seems Ubisoft have just slapped some black borders on the normal (16:9) image. The 21:9 option may look more “cinematic”, but I’m sticking with the 16:9 (fill screen) option.

Too busy playing SW Outlaws right now, but will give this a go when it hits Gamepass next week 🙂

A complete no-brainer for me. I like most Ubisoft open world games, and I like Star Wars. Have preordered the Gold edition, so will be playing it in the morning 🙂

Looks like that delay has paid dividends. Looking forward to this!

Some shadow drops are always nice 🙂

I’ll definitely play it at some point, but not at launch as it’s release date sits between 2 other games I’ll be getting - Star Wars Outlaws and Astro bot.

Gutted, but there’s no shortage of new games between now and the end of the year - Star Wars outlaws, AC Shadows, Astro bot, MS Flight simulator 2024, Age of mythology, Black myth Wukong - to name but a few 🤷🏻‍♂️

Apart from my staple racing games - Forza Motorsport and EA WRC - I seem to be in something of a gaming rut at the moment. Recently tried Flintlock Seige of dawn and Kunitsu-gami path of the goddess, but just couldn’t get into either. Have now downloaded Lies of P and Callisto protocol, and will see how I get on with them. That’s one of the great things about GP - being able to just try out different games and see what clicks.

So the 11 years old GTAV is in the top 10 not once but twice?!? Seriously, who tf is still buying this game? 😂

How can we complicate GP tiers even further? I know…🙄

@PJOReilly @Nightcrawler71 Possibly. Will try again this evening.

I downloaded the free trial for this, but every time I tried to play this morning it wouldn’t connect to the server 🙄

I vaguely remember the basics of American football (4 attempts to move the ball 10 yards, or something) but is this accessible for lapsed players?

How many “overhauls” has this game had now?!? 😂 seriously though, I haven’t touched it in years - is it still welcoming to new or lapsed players, or will I find it overwhelming?

1) are there any difficulty options?, and 2) can we preload if playing it on GP?

@awp69 ok, thanks for clearing that up 👍

Just started playing Rage 2 again, which is a blast. Forgot how satisfying the guns are. The graphics still hold up surprisingly well too.

According to you Flintlock is out 18 July (Thursday), but your sister site - PushSquare - says it’s out 16 July (Tuesday) who’s right? 🤔
