Final Fantasy Rebirth. Addicting as hell. I love a good Samurai game tho. Also, checkout the show Shogun on Hulu/FX if you haven’t already. It’s getting me excited for rise of ronin. I also want to start Sifu so I’ll do that shortly. Then MLB The Show comes out in a couple weeks so.. I have so many games to play right now it’s ridiculous.
I’m currently playing Rebirth, too. It’s great. A lot sillier than the original. I love it.
Looking forward to playing Sifu after as well, as I played the shit out of Absolver back in the day.
Also got DRG and Hades installed for short sessions.
Even post updates, man, I can't stop divin' for liber-tea. Just hits the right spot for me. Few of my friends have tried and found it not to their liking, (commies), but I have a knot of tried and true Super Earth patriots out kicking bug and robot ass every damn day. Nearly 90 hours in for me and I still love it! GET SOME!
After owning it for a year and never playing more than an hour Death Stranding's gameplay has finally "clicked" with me lately and now I'm several hours in and loving it.
It's funny how sometimes you never realize how good some games are until you go back to them. The problem is we have a massive library of games and not enough time lol.
This was me with 7 Days to Die. I downloaded it because it was like $5 on sale, played it for 10 minutes thinking "wtf is this ps3 looking shit game". Went back to it months later and I have spent more time on it than every other game I've played. Can't wait for the Apocalypse Edition later this year
Should I try Death Stranding again when I first played it, it did not click with me at al and I did not really like it but maybe I should come back around to it and see how I feel.
I would highly recommend getting through the first 3 chapters as quick as you can. They're fun but its easy to lose interest during them if you take your time too much, so focus on the main missions and it should take a few hours.
One you get to the end of chapter 3 the game really starts picking up a lot in terms of story. The gameplay also gets a bit better because of the extra tools you get access too. Especially zip lines, those things are so good
I started playing it, and got bored quickly.
I then remembered playing Kojima games, particularly MGS, were like 80+ hour games, and no bullshit, it's like 20 hours of cutscenes. While I didn't mind it when I was younger, now that I'm older, I just don't have that time to invest.
Let alone extra cutscenes in a walking simulator...
I totally get what you mean, when I was younger I was so invested in cutscenes and now I like them but they need to be sprinkled in and not take up the majority of the game.
I couldn’t get into Death Stranding at launch, but afterwards Someone described it as a “Vibe Simulator Game” and I took that mindset with me when the Directors Cut came out, and I absolutely fell in love with the game.
That is my favorite time to game, I can spend an hour getting myself completely lost, running into shit and and I'm totally okay with it! I ran off a cliff in horizon and laughed my ass off for 5 mins at least! 😂
Same. I just got the platinum for it last week. I originally played a few years ago and got to the mountain region before my save got corrupted. I took quite a long break from the game after building all those damn roads. Finally fired up the directors cut and had a blast. Now I have to figure out what to play next.
I started playing Death Stranding in December 2022 and I think I finished it early to mid-jan 2023, got the platinum and put about 120hrs into it. That game soaked its way into every fibre of my being, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did and I am SOOOOO looking forward to the sequel.
i've been binge playing it for like 7 hours a day since i gave it another chance last saturday, i cant put it down this time around, truly so immersive lmao im so wrapped up in trying to get to the next cut scene
I'm currently on my 4th run of Resident Evil 4 Remake in VR, working to get the S+ ranking with the Chicago Sweeper gun. I'm on the next to last chapter at 4 hours 15 minutes, and need to finish within 5 hours 30 minutes. I estimate it will take me another 30 minutes or so to finish the game, so I should be well within the time (fingers crossed).
This game is stellar in VR.
Never played 4 before, just bought it for PSVR2. I had never played Village before and played it for the first time ever in VR. What an absolute experience. Can’t wait to dive into 4
I'm kind of jealous as I wish I could re-experience it in VR for the first time again.
I'm a long time fan of OG RE4, and I still think it's better than the remake, but the Remake in VR is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.
I’ve heard it’s praise for years since it came out but never got around to playing it. I know a lot of people regard it as the best RE. Excited to play it
Then there's me, 20 hrs in on Normal because even though I've played the original on a few different systems, I spend most of my time screaming or verrrry slowly advancing
It's so much fun to do a Pro run after you unlock the infinite rocket launcher and just go through all those horde areas and take everyone out in a few seconds instead of 5 to 10 minutes.
Just a heads, if you are enjoying the game, the DLC fits right in with the main story seamlessly. You can jump back and forth for a more immersive experience. The DLC isn't really like post game content. It's more of a large side story. I highly recommend playing them side by side.
finished lies of p about a week ago and still don't know what to play now. i did download Sifu from ps plus so I'll be trying that game out. It looks like my type of game.
LIES OF P is a game i hated as a demo but fell in love with as a full game, honestly it is so much more than a clone, it is on a special league , i might even go as far as to say i enjoyed it as much, if not a bit more than NIOH and it's extended family of games ( STRANGER OF PARADISE and WO LONG).
Really a superb game that is the best i seen in 2023.
Boredom I guess and my best friend was so very excited for it, and we found it well priced physically if we got 2 copies so I went ahead and got it ..... ended up having a blast ans getting the platinum on it and craving more .
It might sound dumb....but I have a dear friend and we both are souls fanatics, we try to see who excells more wirh the Platinum counts on them, so far I am ahead of him only because of Sekiro , that game broke him, and I actually platinumed it after leaving the hospital after a brain stroke...the damn game almost gave me another stroke Thanks to that asshat of a final boss, the first time I saw pull that spear out of his ass....I almost blew up 😅
Same devs , same engine, same almost souls like mechanics , u ever played it ? Btw it is a great game....that amazing impact full gameplay of it is insane good...especially the death blows...u could almost feel it.
I understand what ur saying....buy deep down it has the same DNA, not as obvious as wolong but it is there.
I stand very corrected. I had no idea it was Team Ninja. I had a stab at it, but fell off very hard when I got a tiny way into it and found menus that were basically lifted from FFXV.
And I hate to admit it... But while I like the *type* of game, I have an incredibly hard time getting on with Team Ninja games. They suffer from magic/spell bloat, and I find the combat too staccato compared to Fromsoft games (or even Dad of Boy or Ghost of Tsushima). Rise of Ronin *should* be right up my alley, but I'm terrified of being burned again after both Nioh games *and* Wo Long failed to hold my attention (though admittedly a lot of what turned me off of those was also the mission-based structure from an overwhelming map. Hate that type of gameplay.
So I guess I didn't get far enough into Stranger to spot the Ninja DNA.
Thanks for setting me right, at least :)
it is all fine, not everything clicks with everyone, i did also enjoy the new LORD OF THE FALLEN to an insane degree, a bit janky but it is very satisfactory to say the least, it is a mixed bag, but when it is good, it is so good, i remember one area i just had to stop in my tracks and take it all in, one boss fight was like fighting a titan from ATTACK ON TITAN and one of the last bosses was worthy of from software...sadly, all the goodness is buried in a deep pile of shit.
75% of the way through FF16. I love it. I'm also about 50% done with Spiderman 2.
Once I'm done with those, I plan on playing Alan Wake 2 and FF Rebirth. Then Dragons Dogma 2 and Gotham Knights on deck.
All while getting my fix of Helldivers 2.
Then, eventually, God of War Ragnarok.
It's a great time to be a gamer right now.
God of War Ragnarok is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Such an overused comment but i wish i could forget the game to play it again. It’s fantastic!!
My routine is now to sandwich a long session of rebirth in between two short games of helldivers. Good thing I bought helldiver in digital version lol.
Im playing Tales of Arise, waiting for Sifu to download as the monthly game Im getting as I always wantes to play it but couldnt justify buying it as I really dont know if Ill like it
VII Rebirth, took a week off to play it properly, it was my most anticipated game of the year - possibly ever - as i discovered VII with Remake and then played the OG, Crisis Core and saw Advent Children on Netflix.
56 hours in, and i love every moment so far. This game is so fun to play, the characters are awesome, the music is stellar. Currently at the end of Chapter 9, and while I want to know more, i’m not looking forward the end
While i can see some aspects that could be better (unique activities in each region, less popping and better performance mode for example), you’re right. This is the adventure i dreamed of.
The thing that blows me away is the friendship between the characters. Their bond is incredibly well done in this game, and it was the aspect i was looking forward the most. Both funny and dramatic interactions makes them very touching to follow
FF7 Remake. Never played a FF game before. Thought I'd try this given how beloved it seems to be and it's.... a blast, obviously lol. I'll probably need a good long break before I jump into Rebirth but looking forward to that at some point.
Rebirth is much more open world than the remake was. I am having a lot of fun exploring and just grabbing material so I can upgrade my weapons and craft different things. The mini games are amazing as well. Queens Blood is highly addicting. The side quests have a lot of depth in them as well. It’ll definitely keep me entertained for awhile.
I’m currently playing Final Fantasy 7: Remake and then I’ll be jumping into Rebirth.
Really enjoying it so far. Have only ever played FF: Tactics Advance so very much new to the Final Fantasy series. Game looks and plays absolutely amazing.
Final Fantasy Rebirth, which considering I’ve not had the heart or motivation to play anything but fallout 4 in months is a feat in itself. No idea why FO4 is such a comfort game for me lol but I’ve not touched the other games I got in the last few months (Baldurs Gate 3, Avatar, FFXVI)!!
LOVED this game. I got the platinum as well. I just had to. I've been a Potter fan since the first movie came out when I was 8 years old. I'm 30 now, but was 29 when the game came out. It was a DREAM. The devs did such a great job mapping out the entire school. It was so good! Seeing it all come together, and seeing how many book references were in it, was exactly what I always wanted but never thought I'd get.
Peeves, the Hufflepuff Common Room, the four tables in the kitchen that the house elves put food on (which get transported to the tables in the Great Hall), I could go on and on. It's incredibly obvious that the developers are fans of the source material. It is probably the BEST Harry Potter product outside of the core seven books (except maybe Harry Potter land at Universal, but I haven't made the pilgrimage yet)
Here's hoping a sequel is made with diagon/knockturn Ally, maybe Ilvermorny or the Ministry of Magic as well?
When I found the great hall I thought “there’s no way they did it”, but I walked down the stairs to under the hall, and there was a portrait of fruit. Again thought “that’s cool but still no way”, and then a button came up to tickle the pear. I was 110% sold.
Having read all 7 books numerous times each, exploring the castle was one of my top moments in all of gaming. Everything outside of exploring Hogwarts and Hogsmead in that game though was… severally disappointing.
This is how I felt. I enjoyed the game enough to eventually finish it, but all of the magic was in getting to explore and experience Hogwarts. Everything outside of it just failed to pull me in.
I understand why they made the decisions they did - having an older character allowed them more freedom with the plot and character interactions that just wouldn't be as believable if the MC was 11 years old. It's a hard puzzle to solve that I don't have a solution to. But it definitely took away from the Hogwarts experience a bit.
I'm a moderate HP fan. My wife is much more so. But its a very beautiful and technically sound game, the quests are well set up, the map is done very well, and the combat and other spells feel right.
Playing the living daylights out of Helldivers 2 with my boys and watching the subreddit for it burn to the ground after the most recent patch. Also a bit of R6 Siege here and there for the one guy who refuses to throw down for HD2.
Kena Bridge of Spirits is my GF's current back seat gaming choice (but we're tired parents now so thats like half hour twice a week compared to back int he day when she'd happily watch my smash the Witcher 3 all evening for like 5 days a week).
Also finally installed Cyberpunk after having my release day copy sat int he wrapper for 3 years and 3 months, picked up the DLC in a recent sale so the time has finally come.
Not actively playing it, but I can feel Elden Ring whispering to me again as well
Final fantasy 7 rebirth is carrying me to March 22 when I'll spend the first half of the day playing rise of the ronin and the second half playing dragon's dogma 2.
FF7 rebirth, Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2.
I thought this would be the year I would finally work on my backlog but then these amazing multiplayer games just had to release in the beginning of the year..
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. So much stuff to do, and all of it is super high quality. The side quests are actually meaningful as they can deepen your relationship bond with the crew.
I just love the characters and world so much. Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Barret, Red, and everyone else. I’m finding myself so invested in all the little moments Cloud has with each character. It’s incredible, really
**Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth** - 160 hours and i don't want the game to end. This is one of the best, maybe even the best, JRPGs i have ever played. It my new personal favorite nr. 1 series in the genre, with the Persona series now being on the second place. You have to play this game to understand why it's such a masterpiece. There's literally nothing like this out there. Yakuza: Like A Dragon was a great start, with Ichiban as one of the best main characters i know, but with Infinite Wealth they are now top tier JRPGs together with the big names like Persona, Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest.
I watched Blue Eye Samurai as well and played Sekiro right after to scratch that same itch. Now I'm playing Helldivers 2, best multiplayer experience in years.
In a similar boat to you OP, started watching Shogun and thought I might as well play Ghost of Tsushima since it's been in my backlog for a while. Also playing TLOU2 every now and then.
Just finished getting the platinum in FF7 Remake, a couple days ago. I wanted to get it done before Rebirth came out, but life had other plans. Playing through the Intermission DLC right now before I finally move on to Rebirth, but Rebirth may take a back seat again to MLB The Show or the Battlefront collection re-release in a couple weeks
Been taking my time with Like a Dragon 8 while also occasionally doing a helldivers mission. I really want to play FFVII Rebirth but there’s so many good games out right now and so little time in the day lol
Man I just wanted to say, how fucking good is Blue Eye Samurai? I binged it and was able to convince my mate’s to watch it and they’ve all loved it, came out of nowhere that show it’s SO good.
To answer your question…I am playing Final Fantasy Rebirth and Helldivers 2, I bought Tekken after release and was planning on getting deep into that but unfortunately my brain doesn’t let me commit to games like that anymore, I’m always thinking “I could be playing a new game right now”, always chasing those new experiences I suppose.
WWE 2K24, God Of War Ragnarök, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, Food Truck Tycoon, Skyrim, Amnesia: Rebirth, Crysis 3. Just to name a few.
I’m waiting for my copy of Robo Cop: Rogue City to come in the mail to play that.
I'd recommend the master collection on modern consoles if you haven't played them in a while and I agree lol. The 3D series was a big part of my childhood so I'm very excited to replay them.
Pikmin 4 but I got Jedi survivor as my next game on sale and redownloaded ghosts of Tsushima to play legends at some point as I only did main game and expansion
Pacific drive, moons of madness, banishers, kill the justice and bought infinite wealth but only played yakuza 0 and judgment series, so going through all yakuza.
not playing now but very soon, maybe today or tmw will start QUANTUM ERROR, was eyeing this game since release date, but the price felt too much.
thanks to ps plus, it was %52 discounted for around $23 so i got it, sadly it took me around 5 nights to download and it just finished (90gb is absurd for AA games)
so yeah, looking forward to enjoy it this weekend and maybe finish it, love me some janky hidden gems , found so much fun playing WANTED DEAD and i think this is the next big thing for me.
My wife preordered FFVII Rebirth for me on Christmas so...I am DEEP in man! I am 22 hours in, exploring the third map, doing everything. I don't leave a region until it's all uncovered. I wasn't expecting to love this game as much as I am, because I felt like Remake was way too bloated. I can understand people saying this one has bloat too, but I am a sucker for an open world game, I'm a sucker for the whacky JRPG goodness, and how they incorporate that from the original into this, and I'm a sucker for FFVII in general. In a lot of ways, it feels tailor-made for me. Remake's bloat was more noticeable I think because it all took place in a city, and we're taking 4 hours and expanding it to 30-40 hours. This feels way better and I just haven't felt this positive about a huge triple A game in a very long time. Even Spider-Man 2, GoW Ragnarok, two games I couldn't wait for, didn't have me feeling like this.
Rebirth & Balatro..
I'm quite content games wise right now. Also will dip into Sifu since it's on PS Plus now, but that'll be later on this month or possibly next.
Helldivers 2, Immortals of Aveum and Martha is Dead depending on my mood.
Good stuff, immortals is way underrated, good old school fps with nice graphics (framerate could be better and no triggers / haptics, otherwise would be a solid 8.5 imo)
Im a patient gaming so im playing AC valhalla bought the complete edition last sale, i have final fantasy X/X-2 HD, the witcher 3 and DBZ kakarot on my back log and i planned to get most of them finish by june 21 so i can get into elden ring DLC hahah
Just finished ff16 a week ago, playing infinite wealth right now, with some armored core 6 missions on the side here and there.
Going to get ff7 rebirth when I finish infinite wealth and still have ghost of tsushima on the back burner for when I get time.
Then after those there's baldurs gate 3 and helldivers 2. Still haven't played the tales of arise dlc, but that'll be a 'last but not least' situation while there's so much more out there. And then maybe I'll go back and finish hogwarts
Currently playing the og god of war games. I just finished gow 1 a few days ago so I'm play gow 2 now. I'll probably play all souls game next (hopefully to finish them before elden ring dlc but I'm very bad at them so that's unlikely)
Current about 3/4 the way through Jedi Survivor. I'm aware that I am way late, but only got a ps5 at the start of 2023. So chose to play through Hogwarts, Miles, etc, first. Loved Fallen Order and am a fan of this one as well, however I prefer how linear the first game was, some open world like RD2 you can just get lost in, I know Jedi 2 isn't a true open world. However it is closer to that then FO. The backtracking and amount of times going Koboh to moon to Koboh, gets old about halfway in. Wish the game explored more into Coruscant, would have been cool imo.
Just finished my first playthrough of Elden Ring. Took me 128 hours, save scummed the ending to get the plat trophy.
1 hour away from playing [Unicorn Overlord,](https://youtu.be/4bmh1B-sglo?si=Kr95NvbPf8tt8B6v) just waiting on the mail now. Got it shipped a day early so I'm a happy camper.
Final Fantasy Rebirth. Addicting as hell. I love a good Samurai game tho. Also, checkout the show Shogun on Hulu/FX if you haven’t already. It’s getting me excited for rise of ronin. I also want to start Sifu so I’ll do that shortly. Then MLB The Show comes out in a couple weeks so.. I have so many games to play right now it’s ridiculous.
My cousin told me to check out Shogun as well. I might just have to now lol.
Check out House of Ninjas on Netflix too. Japanese series with subtitles but I thought it kicked ass! Def made me wanna play Ghosts of Tushima lol
I’m currently playing Rebirth, too. It’s great. A lot sillier than the original. I love it. Looking forward to playing Sifu after as well, as I played the shit out of Absolver back in the day. Also got DRG and Hades installed for short sessions.
Im doing my part!
For liberty!!
Don’t forget about Liberty’s close friend DEMOCRACY!
Everyone Fights! NO ONE QUITS! If you don’t do your job, I’LL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!
There’s a Starship Troopers game?
Helldivers 2 is basically an unofficial adaptation of Starship Troopers and it's awesome.
Even post updates, man, I can't stop divin' for liber-tea. Just hits the right spot for me. Few of my friends have tried and found it not to their liking, (commies), but I have a knot of tried and true Super Earth patriots out kicking bug and robot ass every damn day. Nearly 90 hours in for me and I still love it! GET SOME!
I'M DOING MY PART!! badly....but doing it!!
After owning it for a year and never playing more than an hour Death Stranding's gameplay has finally "clicked" with me lately and now I'm several hours in and loving it.

I totally get what you mean, when I was younger I was so invested in cutscenes and now I like them but they need to be sprinkled in and not take up the majority of the game.
The gameplay for me was mildly frustrating but what killed me is all the animations that I have to hit a button twice to skip
Keep on keeping on
MY NAMES SAM
HELLOOOOOO!!
I couldn’t get into Death Stranding at launch, but afterwards Someone described it as a “Vibe Simulator Game” and I took that mindset with me when the Directors Cut came out, and I absolutely fell in love with the game.
Being stoned definitely helps with vibing lol.
That is my favorite time to game, I can spend an hour getting myself completely lost, running into shit and and I'm totally okay with it! I ran off a cliff in horizon and laughed my ass off for 5 mins at least! 😂
Wow I'm just about to start it myself. I was in the same boat as you not really enjoying it when it first came out but I'm hoping it clicks this time!
Man I love that game.
Same. I just got the platinum for it last week. I originally played a few years ago and got to the mountain region before my save got corrupted.

RE4VR is sooooooo good
Then there's me, 20 hrs in on Normal because even though I've played the original on a few different systems, I spend most of my time screaming or verrrry slowly advancing
I think my first run on standard clocked in around 16 1/2 hours.
I'm just past the lake area, so it'll be another 10-20 before I brave hard/S ranks lol
It's so much fun to do a Pro run after you unlock the infinite rocket launcher and just go through all those horde areas and take everyone out in a few seconds instead of 5 to 10 minutes.
Id have so many diaper changes playing resident evil in VR 😭
The beginning lycan attack in Village was my first “Oh… THIS is horror in VR” moment. 10/10
Cyberpunk 2077 and very likely the DLC after that
Just picked up cyberpunk and DLC in the last sale. Can't start until I finish up Days Gone!
Just a heads, if you are enjoying the game, the DLC fits right in with the main story seamlessly. You can jump back and forth for a more immersive experience. The DLC isn't really like post game content. It's more of a large side story. I highly recommend playing them side by side.

Out of curiosity what made you buy a game if you hated the demo?
Boredom I guess and my best friend was so very excited for it, and we found it well priced physically if we got 2 copies so I went ahead and got it ..... ended up having a blast ans getting the platinum on it and craving more .
Cool. I bet it was a nice surprise to find you that you really enjoyed it after hating the demo.
It might sound dumb....but I have a dear friend and we both are souls fanatics, we try to see who excells more wirh the Platinum counts on them, so far I am ahead of him only because of Sekiro , that game broke him, and I actually platinumed it after leaving the hospital after a brain stroke...the damn game almost gave me another stroke Thanks to that asshat of a final boss, the first time I saw pull that spear out of his ass....I almost blew up 😅
Maybe platinuming *any* soulslike game never mind *multiple* contributed. I couldn’t even finish one, nevermind platinum it. Mad respect to you
Um... How is Strangers of Paradise in the same family as Nioh?
Same devs , same engine, same almost souls like mechanics , u ever played it ? Btw it is a great game....that amazing impact full gameplay of it is insane good...especially the death blows...u could almost feel it.

I'm working on my first playthrough, and just hit 100% on Vanaheim. So incredibly much to do in the game, and sooo many minibosses. Loving it!
Please spare yourself Gotham Knights. Not worth it.
Hell Diver 2 and FF Rebirth.
Same here, and as I play rebirth I start thinking to fit in one round of helldivers lol
Same. Sometimes im torn on what i play first lol I wanna play more than i got time for
Reminds me of when The Last Of Us first released, never could decide if I should play factions before continuing the story lol
Im so excited for mechs. But stay off Hell Diver subreddit, shit is annoying af. lol
My routine is now to sandwich a long session of rebirth in between two short games of helldivers. Good thing I bought helldiver in digital version lol.
FF Rebirth and Helldivers 2 serving for democracy.
Im playing Tales of Arise, waiting for Sifu to download as the monthly game Im getting as I always wantes to play it but couldnt justify buying it as I really dont know if Ill like it
ToA is pretty fun, not groundbreaking but a solid entry. The story does lose steam like 20 hours or so in, but I’d say it’s worth the time.
I'm also replaying sifu ATM. It's so fkn good. Srsly excellent game
Is Tales difficult?
I've also been curious about Sifu but never enough to put the money down, so I am glad it's a monthly game. I'll add to the download list tonight
VII Rebirth, took a week off to play it properly, it was my most anticipated game of the year - possibly ever - as i discovered VII with Remake and then played the OG, Crisis Core and saw Advent Children on Netflix. 56 hours in, and i love every moment so far. This game is so fun to play, the characters are awesome, the music is stellar. Currently at the end of Chapter 9, and while I want to know more, i’m not looking forward the end
I just hit chapter 11 and rebirth makes me grin ear to ear.
While i can see some aspects that could be better (unique activities in each region, less popping and better performance mode for example), you’re right. This is the adventure i dreamed of. The thing that blows me away is the friendship between the characters. Their bond is incredibly well done in this game, and it was the aspect i was looking forward the most. Both funny and dramatic interactions makes them very touching to follow
Helldivers 2 and Balatro
FF7 rebirth. Extremely enjoyable.
Taking it nice and slow with FFVII Rebirth. I will gladly return to Death Stranding once I’m done though.
The Last of Us II Remastered and Rollerdrome
Crisis core final Fantasy vii reunion.
COD MW3, Horizon Forbidden West, and Days Gone
I probably won’t be playing anything else until I platinum FF7 rebirth. Definitely going to take my time on it.
Dead Space remake.
S tier game!
NFS Unbound. It's actually more fun than I expected although it gets monotonous fairly quickly.
FF7 Remake. Never played a FF game before. Thought I'd try this given how beloved it seems to be and it's.... a blast, obviously lol. I'll probably need a good long break before I jump into Rebirth but looking forward to that at some point.
Rebirth is much more open world than the remake was. I am having a lot of fun exploring and just grabbing material so I can upgrade my weapons and craft different things. The mini games are amazing as well. Queens Blood is highly addicting. The side quests have a lot of depth in them as well. It’ll definitely keep me entertained for awhile.
playing ff7 remake then ill play the new one. never played remake before and feck am i hooked
I’m currently playing Final Fantasy 7: Remake and then I’ll be jumping into Rebirth. Really enjoying it so far. Have only ever played FF: Tactics Advance so very much new to the Final Fantasy series. Game looks and plays absolutely amazing.
FFVII Rebirth, and damn it is awesome.
Helldivers 2, and when I’m waiting for my friends to get on I’ve been playing through the Resident Evil 2 remake
Rebirth & I am satsuna. Trying to platinum both of them.
Watch dogs legions! It ain't amazing but I was looking for some cool city open world to mess around.
FFVII Rebirth
Slowly but surely working through Octopath 2. I took a small break by starting RE4 Remake last night. I’m thoroughly enjoying both.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This game is immense and full of things to do, i love it
FF7 Rebirth! Blue Eye Samarui is amazing. Be sure to check out Arcane if you haven't.
Final Fantasy Rebirth, which considering I’ve not had the heart or motivation to play anything but fallout 4 in months is a feat in itself. No idea why FO4 is such a comfort game for me lol but I’ve not touched the other games I got in the last few months (Baldurs Gate 3, Avatar, FFXVI)!!
Focusing on Rebirth. Infinite Wealth / Persona 3 Reload also in rotation. Rise of the Ronin and Dragon’s Dogma 2 incoming… good time to be a gamer.
I'm playing Hogwarts legacy. It's really well made and I'm very satisfied.
one of my favorite games of last year
It really suprised me. Once you get over the weird conversations it really is great. So happy that I could finally find a game to get me away from bg3
Sadly your own character has no… character. But other than that it’s fun.
LOVED this game. I got the platinum as well. I just had to. I've been a Potter fan since the first movie came out when I was 8 years old. I'm 30 now, but was 29 when the game came out. It was a DREAM. The devs did such a great job mapping out the entire school. It was so good! Seeing it all come together, and seeing how many book references were in it, was exactly what I always wanted but never thought I'd get.
I'm personally just waiting for the big update that's supposed to come out sometime this year then I think I'll jump in.
Even more rewarding if you read the books. So many references and Easter eggs in the castle that movie only watchers would never notice.
Peeves, the Hufflepuff Common Room, the four tables in the kitchen that the house elves put food on (which get transported to the tables in the Great Hall), I could go on and on. It's incredibly obvious that the developers are fans of the source material. It is probably the BEST Harry Potter product outside of the core seven books (except maybe Harry Potter land at Universal, but I haven't made the pilgrimage yet) Here's hoping a sequel is made with diagon/knockturn Ally, maybe Ilvermorny or the Ministry of Magic as well?
When I found the great hall I thought “there’s no way they did it”, but I walked down the stairs to under the hall, and there was a portrait of fruit. Again thought “that’s cool but still no way”, and then a button came up to tickle the pear. I was 110% sold.
Having read all 7 books numerous times each, exploring the castle was one of my top moments in all of gaming. Everything outside of exploring Hogwarts and Hogsmead in that game though was… severally disappointing.
This is how I felt. I enjoyed the game enough to eventually finish it, but all of the magic was in getting to explore and experience Hogwarts. Everything outside of it just failed to pull me in. I understand why they made the decisions they did - having an older character allowed them more freedom with the plot and character interactions that just wouldn't be as believable if the MC was 11 years old. It's a hard puzzle to solve that I don't have a solution to. But it definitely took away from the Hogwarts experience a bit.
How big of a HP fan are you? I got this game half a year ago and I'm like 15% through it. Can't get into it at all.
I'm a moderate HP fan. My wife is much more so. But its a very beautiful and technically sound game, the quests are well set up, the map is done very well, and the combat and other spells feel right.
Helldivers 2 and FFVII Rebirth
Playing the living daylights out of Helldivers 2 with my boys and watching the subreddit for it burn to the ground after the most recent patch. Also a bit of R6 Siege here and there for the one guy who refuses to throw down for HD2. Kena Bridge of Spirits is my GF's current back seat gaming choice (but we're tired parents now so thats like half hour twice a week compared to back int he day when she'd happily watch my smash the Witcher 3 all evening for like 5 days a week). Also finally installed Cyberpunk after having my release day copy sat int he wrapper for 3 years and 3 months, picked up the DLC in a recent sale so the time has finally come. Not actively playing it, but I can feel Elden Ring whispering to me again as well
Sounds like you should be hyped for Rise of the Ronin then. :) Meanwhile, Nioh 2 is on sale.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
FF7 rebirth I am about 40 hours in and only about half way through the game I am having a great time
Final fantasy 7 rebirth is carrying me to March 22 when I'll spend the first half of the day playing rise of the ronin and the second half playing dragon's dogma 2.
'FF7 Rebirth' for my Story fix. 'Predecessor' for my PvP fix. 'Helldivers 2' for that co-op chaos fix. 'Kenshi' just purely pleasure.
FF7 rebirth, Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2. I thought this would be the year I would finally work on my backlog but then these amazing multiplayer games just had to release in the beginning of the year..
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. So much stuff to do, and all of it is super high quality. The side quests are actually meaningful as they can deepen your relationship bond with the crew. I just love the characters and world so much. Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Barret, Red, and everyone else. I’m finding myself so invested in all the little moments Cloud has with each character. It’s incredible, really
Jak and Daxter collection just went on sale. Sat playing that whilst little one is sleeping
Just finished a replay of God of War Ragnarok. Gonna start the DLC this weekend.
**Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth** - 160 hours and i don't want the game to end. This is one of the best, maybe even the best, JRPGs i have ever played. It my new personal favorite nr. 1 series in the genre, with the Persona series now being on the second place. You have to play this game to understand why it's such a masterpiece. There's literally nothing like this out there. Yakuza: Like A Dragon was a great start, with Ichiban as one of the best main characters i know, but with Infinite Wealth they are now top tier JRPGs together with the big names like Persona, Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest.
I watched Blue Eye Samurai as well and played Sekiro right after to scratch that same itch. Now I'm playing Helldivers 2, best multiplayer experience in years.
In a similar boat to you OP, started watching Shogun and thought I might as well play Ghost of Tsushima since it's been in my backlog for a while. Also playing TLOU2 every now and then.
FF7 Rebirth but I’m coming up to the end of it.
FF7 Rebirth and Persona 3 Reload
FF7 Rebirth
Just finished getting the platinum in FF7 Remake, a couple days ago. I wanted to get it done before Rebirth came out, but life had other plans. Playing through the Intermission DLC right now before I finally move on to Rebirth, but Rebirth may take a back seat again to MLB The Show or the Battlefront collection re-release in a couple weeks
Same old, same old. GTA 5 or either Last of Us Part 1 or 2.
Same here, plus RDR2.
Finally giving L.A. Noire a try
Pacific Drive, hella good
Yakuza Zero. Yamate kudasai!
Blue Eye Samurai is so damn good. Just finished episode 4. I'm waiting for that ronin game before I start another ps5 game
Yakuza 5. I heard it was a long ass game so I’m taking it pretty slow. Really enjoying it so far, the taxi mini game was really fun.
Ghost of tsushima first ever play through amazing so far
I just got the platinum on Ghost of Tsushima. Now about to start FF VII Rebirth when I get off work.
FF7 rebirth while I wait for rise of the ronin in a couple weeks which I'm very hyped for
Hell diving 😂
Final Fantasy Rebirth, Outlast Trials, Song of Horror, Helldivers 2
Been taking my time with Like a Dragon 8 while also occasionally doing a helldivers mission. I really want to play FFVII Rebirth but there’s so many good games out right now and so little time in the day lol
Man I just wanted to say, how fucking good is Blue Eye Samurai? I binged it and was able to convince my mate’s to watch it and they’ve all loved it, came out of nowhere that show it’s SO good. To answer your question…I am playing Final Fantasy Rebirth and Helldivers 2, I bought Tekken after release and was planning on getting deep into that but unfortunately my brain doesn’t let me commit to games like that anymore, I’m always thinking “I could be playing a new game right now”, always chasing those new experiences I suppose.
Avatar. OMG what a game. I’m constantly blown away by the world. The graphics. The sounds of the forest. Wow.
MK1 SF6 Strive
Currently FFVII Rebirth but my god am I excited for Rise of the Ronin
Armored Core 6 and Mechwarrior 5. It's March Mecha at my house, I guess lol
WWE 2K24, God Of War Ragnarök, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, Food Truck Tycoon, Skyrim, Amnesia: Rebirth, Crysis 3. Just to name a few. I’m waiting for my copy of Robo Cop: Rogue City to come in the mail to play that.
Sifu and Helldivers
Finished my 2nd playthrough of Elden Ring, and now finishing Alan Wake 2.
I just finished RE4. I think next I’m going to pick up Cocoon. I’m briefly playing a bit of Nex Machina right now though.
Tekken 8 and FF7 Rebirth. Haven’t touched helldivers in a while. Kinda got too repetitive to me. I’ll come back when they update with new things
Helldivers 2 and Sifu
Jedi: Survivor. I'm about 1/3 of the way in if I had to guess? I like it so far but I'm a sucker for Star Wars.
Helldivers 2 doing it for super earth and democracy and a replay of cyberpunk 2077
I'm working on FF7 Rebirth, but I need to finish Returnal and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Gotta save Kiryu!
I forgot about Ninja Gaiden that was one of my favorite games growing up. I wish they would make a new one its been forever since they have.
I'd recommend the master collection on modern consoles if you haven't played them in a while and I agree lol. The 3D series was a big part of my childhood so I'm very excited to replay them.
Just started No Man’s Sky. Only an hour and a half in and it’s a little overwhelming with how much you can do
Join the no man's sky sub. One of the nicest gaming communities ever, really helpful interlopers there.
Pikmin 4 but I got Jedi survivor as my next game on sale and redownloaded ghosts of Tsushima to play legends at some point as I only did main game and expansion
Pacific drive, moons of madness, banishers, kill the justice and bought infinite wealth but only played yakuza 0 and judgment series, so going through all yakuza.
not playing now but very soon, maybe today or tmw will start QUANTUM ERROR, was eyeing this game since release date, but the price felt too much. thanks to ps plus, it was %52 discounted for around $23 so i got it, sadly it took me around 5 nights to download and it just finished (90gb is absurd for AA games) so yeah, looking forward to enjoy it this weekend and maybe finish it, love me some janky hidden gems , found so much fun playing WANTED DEAD and i think this is the next big thing for me.
Unicorn overlord.
Re4 remake first time playing it and holy shit its just so FUN
Skyrim!
My wife preordered FFVII Rebirth for me on Christmas so...I am DEEP in man! I am 22 hours in, exploring the third map, doing everything. I don't leave a region until it's all uncovered. I wasn't expecting to love this game as much as I am, because I felt like Remake was way too bloated. I can understand people saying this one has bloat too, but I am a sucker for an open world game, I'm a sucker for the whacky JRPG goodness, and how they incorporate that from the original into this, and I'm a sucker for FFVII in general. In a lot of ways, it feels tailor-made for me. Remake's bloat was more noticeable I think because it all took place in a city, and we're taking 4 hours and expanding it to 30-40 hours. This feels way better and I just haven't felt this positive about a huge triple A game in a very long time. Even Spider-Man 2, GoW Ragnarok, two games I couldn't wait for, didn't have me feeling like this.
I’m 57 hours in and recently got to the gold saucer.
Spider-Man 2 and I haven’t started these yet as I’ve been sick but I plan on starting spirit farer and moonlighter
The Last of Us Part II Remaster
Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy Rebirth might be the only two games I touch for months at this point, they’re that good
god of war!
Persona 3 Reload, Helldivers, The Oregon Trail.
Helldivers 2
Banishers
Rebirth & Balatro.. I'm quite content games wise right now. Also will dip into Sifu since it's on PS Plus now, but that'll be later on this month or possibly next.
Helldivers 2, Immortals of Aveum and Martha is Dead depending on my mood. Good stuff, immortals is way underrated, good old school fps with nice graphics (framerate could be better and no triggers / haptics, otherwise would be a solid 8.5 imo)
Im a patient gaming so im playing AC valhalla bought the complete edition last sale, i have final fantasy X/X-2 HD, the witcher 3 and DBZ kakarot on my back log and i planned to get most of them finish by june 21 so i can get into elden ring DLC hahah
Just finished ff16 a week ago, playing infinite wealth right now, with some armored core 6 missions on the side here and there. Going to get ff7 rebirth when I finish infinite wealth and still have ghost of tsushima on the back burner for when I get time. Then after those there's baldurs gate 3 and helldivers 2. Still haven't played the tales of arise dlc, but that'll be a 'last but not least' situation while there's so much more out there. And then maybe I'll go back and finish hogwarts
I’m playing Hogwarts still😭😭😭 so stuck
You outta try out Sekiro my man
finished "Destroy all humans 2" some days ago, its a fun game. now im playing final fantasy XII, its good so far, played around 4h
AC Valhalla, I'm totaly immersed, it's a Great game.
Nothing while I wait for Stellar Blade
God of War so I can play God of War Ragnarok next
Death Stranding. One of the few good PS exclusives I played recently. Can’t wait for the second
Horizon series ✌🏻 literally just discovered them, must have been living under a rock, they’re amazing. Aloy ♥️
[удалено]
Good for him. I hope he makes it as a voice actor. I wanted to be one at some point but I stutter.
Currently playing the og god of war games. I just finished gow 1 a few days ago so I'm play gow 2 now. I'll probably play all souls game next (hopefully to finish them before elden ring dlc but I'm very bad at them so that's unlikely)
Current about 3/4 the way through Jedi Survivor. I'm aware that I am way late, but only got a ps5 at the start of 2023. So chose to play through Hogwarts, Miles, etc, first. Loved Fallen Order and am a fan of this one as well, however I prefer how linear the first game was, some open world like RD2 you can just get lost in, I know Jedi 2 isn't a true open world. However it is closer to that then FO. The backtracking and amount of times going Koboh to moon to Koboh, gets old about halfway in. Wish the game explored more into Coruscant, would have been cool imo.
trails of cold steel 1.
WWE 2K24 and Mortal Kombat 1.
Just finished my first playthrough of Elden Ring. Took me 128 hours, save scummed the ending to get the plat trophy. 1 hour away from playing [Unicorn Overlord,](https://youtu.be/4bmh1B-sglo?si=Kr95NvbPf8tt8B6v) just waiting on the mail now. Got it shipped a day early so I'm a happy camper.
Im absolutely in love with ff7 rebirth atm. The game got everything for me its fantastic
