I bought Robocop the other day so probably continue with that really like it so far though some of the side objectives are ridiculous lol. I've also been playing Surviving the Aftermath which is pretty good but the progress is so slow feels like a mobile game. On Xbox I've started the Telltale Walking Dead games and still trying to finish Max Payne 3.
The lack of destruction in this game was really disappointing they need to go back to the older games style and stop chasing CoD players. They also need to get a Bad Company 3 made or remake the first 2.
The Last of Us Part 2 remaster and some Far Cry 6 on PS5 and on Xbox I'm going to try Palworld and maybe finally finish Starfield or give Diablo 4 another chance.
I loved it but it was just too big it took me the best part of a year to finish the main game and the first 2 dlc's I've still not went back for Ragnarok yet.
I'm definitely going to buy less on day one this year don't think i even finished a quarter of the games i bought last year. I'm also hoping to get a lot more reading done this year as i only finished 2 books last year.
There's nothing innovative about it's gameplay felt like I'd went back in time with it's constant loading screens and fast travel everywhere approach to space travel. It also crashed so much I've still not finished it and the main story missions are pretty repetitive.
I've went back to Cyberpunk on PS5 not got much of the story left then i can finally start Phantom Liberty and I'm hoping to finish Alan Wake 2 this weekend. On Xbox I'm playing Return to Arkham Asylum and Starfield nearing the end of both of those too.
Bought Return to Arkham for £5.99 so I'm going to play that never really got into the Arkham games but I've enjoyed what I've played of Arkham Asylum so far. Also trying to finish Alan Wake 2 on PS5.
I'll wait till after Xmas probably January and this will be on sale i nearly pre ordered it yesterday but stopped myself because i know it'll be on sale quick. Is this on Ubisoft plus day one?
@HonestHick, It's one of the worst reviewed games in the series so it's defo not just a loud minority that don't even play the game that don't like it.It's a £70 dlc and a poor one at that imo glad you're enjoying but plenty of people aren't and they have valid reasons.
@Kaloudz They've only been overly generous because they were desperate and had to do something and last time i checked they're still so far behind Sony and Nintendo so seems weird to start making everything less consumer friendly all of a sudden.
@SacredPYRO Did they do anything about the hackers? That was always my main issue getting put in hacked lobbies with people using god mode and other hacks. The ttk is too high i think and every time i play domination or hard point barely anyone plays the objective it just feels so slow compared to older games.
This is the worst COD since Ghosts entire teams camping so many games don't even reach the score limit and the spawns are atrocious hopefully MS can bring COD back to what it was or just fix the og MW2 and I'll play that instead.
Tried it on the first day of the beta and couldn't even get past the account creation screen before it crashed on PS5 never went back to it after that.
@Kezelpaso Yeah i would have been shocked if they didn't make it a full priced release when it sells so well every year wishful thinking on my part lol
@Dan1283 I've had the same issue with Starfield crashing constantly on Series S i had the same problem with Fallout 4 it was even worse than Starfield.
I enjoyed this more than i thought i would considering the reviews it got i finished it on PS5 earlier in the year and it was fun story could have been longer though.
I've been jumping between loads of games recently can't seem to stick to anything but probably more Cyberpunk trying to get through the main story so i can buy Phantom Liberty.
I'll give it a try but barely played Fifa 23 that came with my PS5 miss the good old days of PES wish Konami would bring it back to a full priced release and not the free to play garbage it's become.
I started Dead Space last night so probably continue with that and Sniper Elite 5 on PS5 . On Xbox it'll be more Starfield probably just going to stick to the main story missions now and get it finished. I'll maybe give the Crew Motorsport trial a go too just downloaded it.
Voted 8/10 I'm loving the game but the crashes are getting more regular the longer i play it's crashed multiple times every day for the last 3 days there's also far too many loading screens.
On Xbox it'll be Starfield for the foreseeable future loving it so far. On PS5 I'm going to hopefully start Dead Space and play more of Sniper Elite 5 not really enjoying this one as much because it seems to push you into more cqc.
All my crashes so far seem to be after leaving the game on quick resume I've had mixed results with quick resume in general some games it works great others it doesn't work at all.
I'd say it's between an 8.5 and a 9 for me I've never been the biggest Bethesda fan never finished any of their games but I'm already planning a new game plus playthrough for this when I've finished my first. It's fantastic with a few small issues holding it back from being perfect great review.
I've had it crash on me a few times but no major bugs or glitches just some slowdown and stuttering when in built up areas I'm surprised it runs this well on Series S.
