Trails in The Sky 2nd Chapter near the end now and loved every minute of it hopefully get it finished today then i can start Resonance A Plague Tale Legacy.
Trails in The Sky Chapter 2 just got too chapter 6 last night, and i am loving it played Chapter 1 and 2 back to back they're definitely my games of the year.
Loved the campaign but had a few objectives bug out and had to reload and a few achievements i should have got didn't unlock but overall really enjoyed it. Not got much interest in the multiplayer or Horde. I gave the campaign an 8 and Gears 3 is still my favourite in the series.
Gears E-Day enjoying it so far up to act 3 hoping to get it finished this weekend so i can get back to Trails in the sky Chapter 2 remake. I'll also probably play some Battlefield 6
I'm jumping between AC Black Flag and Tales of Berseria with a bit of Palworld and I'm waiting on Lego Batman coming from Amazon i really need to stop playing multiple games at once lol. I'll probably play some Battlefield 6 later on with my mate as well. And I'm also playing Dragon Quest 7 reimagined on Switch as well forgot about that for a minute.
This will definitely be my last gen gaming because next gen is going to be way out of my price range I'd be surprised if Helix is under £1500 at this point and it's only going to get worse.
£240 on Amazon for my Series S used it daily until i got a PS5 still use it but not as much thinking of selling it and getting the Series X before it goes up in price.
Got the platinum for Yotei during the week really enjoyed it. I've now started Avowed but I'm only 7 hours in and it's crashed 3 times it's doing my head in. I also downloaded AC Unity to give the 60fps update a try.
Still playing Ghost of Yotei I'm at 66% according to my PS5 absolutely loving it and don't want it to end. I've also still got Avowed to start but I'll probably hang off until I'm done with Yotei I'm trying to only play 1 open world game at a time.
I'm not very optimistic about Xbox staying in the hardware business much longer as a publisher they'll be fine. The flip flopping and constant changes of direction have done massive damage to the Xbox brand and that'll be hard to recover from.
Still trying to get the platinum for Borderlands 4 and I've downloaded Undisputed and Fallout 76 so maybe give 1 of them a try later because I'm getting a little bored of BL4.
I loved it finished it on Gamepass at release it definitely has some flaws but the world was beautiful and really fun to explore. I'll definitely be buying it for PS5 when it releases.
@ILuvGames Aye the gunplay seems pretty good but apart from that didn't really enjoy it only played a couple of games though. It seems to only have 1 game mode which was a little disappointing.
@ILuvGames Same but then got another connection error after my first game. Also had some racist arsehole in the very first game just shouting abuse down his mic the entire game.
I was almost all digital until recently, but I've gone back to buying mostly physical as the deals are usually much better. I paid £34.99 for Borderlands 4 on amazon instead of £55.99 on playstation store.
Still playing Borderlands 4 hopefully get the story finished this weekend and probably a bit of BF6 multiplayer later on. I'm also tempted to download Fable again on my Xbox and do another playthrough it's been a while.
Borderlands 4 mostly for me this weekend enjoying it a lot more than the 3rd game. Ive also got a bunch of other games that i started and haven't finished so maybe go back to one of them maybe Still Wakes the Deep or Tales from the Borderlands.
I'm about halfway through Tales from the Borderlands I'll try and finish that today and then get back to Outer Worlds 2 and probably play a bit of Battlefield 6 later on.
I've played my PS5 a lot more than Xbox this year probably about 80% of my time has been on PS5 going through my backlog that's built up over the years. Think i only finished 4 games on Xbox this year but 2 of them are in my top 5 for the year Avowed and South of Midnight.
Finished Lego Horizon the other day got 1 trophy left for the platinum so might try and get that today and more Outer Worlds 2 and some Battlefield 6. I also got a month of Gamepass for a £1 tried Blops 7 and it's terrible so I'm going to try Clair Obscur again started it when it released but didn't get very far.
It's the only Halo campaign I've never finished didn't enjoy it at all the multiplayer was decent but i only played it for about a month before never going back.
