Bought the kids Sonic Adventures 3. I'm getting old as it's hard to keep up with - just like the old ones I played back in the day! Lots of fun and we all can play together at the same time.

I finally jumped in and played for a couple of hours last night, and I totally agree. I’m enjoying it overall, but the hand-to-hand combat feels a bit meh. Glad you can at least pick up items around the map to attack with. Seeing that stealth was heavily involved (so far) almost turned me off. I'm just not a patient player. Luckily, the game lets you go in 'guns blazing' if you want, which is a relief. Loving the storyline so far, though. I took all of next week off and plan to sink some hours into it.

Almost bought this day one, but wanted to get some real world reactions from people like you guys. I always worry the re-play factor with games like this after completing it, but I've loved the Indiana Jones movies my whole life, so I'm going to take the plunge.

Surprising rumor that an as yet unannounced Obilivion Unreal5 remake could release this year

 

[SlammedZero]

Well, I finally broke down and bought a PS5 Pro.



I'll probably hook it up tomorrow and see if I can spot any differences.

Ninja gaiden 4 announced. Not only that, but a remaster of ninja gaiden 2 just shadow dropped right now. I wonder just how much of an upgrade it is over the original which is one of my favorite action games.

It's freaking awesome. Really smooth and brutal, which is the Ninja Gaiden I know and love. Can't wait for 4.

Horizon Forbidden West sucked me back in. I had totally forgot I bought the Burning Shores expansion pack awhile back. lol

Forgot how great this game is. Such fun worlds to explore.

I go back alot. So much to just run around aimlessly and fight. Grinding to upgrade gear is actually a highlight. Add a real cool Monster Hunter aspect

I dropped $10 on the Zero Dawn Remaster and did them both back to back like one game

I really wanted to like the first one but I just hated the fighting mechanics.

Yeah it was very unforgiving to say the least

I am. I put 12 hours straight into it yesterday, which is an insane amount of time for me. I don’t normally do that, but the game is fantastic. Complex though

I'm waiting for Avowed but I'll play KCD2 eventually.

Those reviews are accurate, it's good. That said, saving gets tedious, so I'd recommend using the Unlimited Saving II mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance2/mods/14

PSN has been down since yesterday. Too bad, I've been really enjoying playing on Forbidden West on PlayStation lately.

Something big must've happened. Security breaches by hackers again?
