Still enjoying Days Gone, love having to deal with the large zombie hordes early on with limited fire power. Just purchased my first good assault rifle but find myself using the machete quite a bit now that I can repair them with scrap.

That was actually pretty amazing for a videogame

I completed Days Gone.  Solid game and story.

I just opened up

Everyone seems to love D.S., but it doesn't look that interesting to me.  Let us know your thoughts.

It's a Hideo Kojima game, so I knew it would be heavy on story and weird stuff. That said, I knew little about the actual gameplay. After an hour, I still know little about the gameplay. Cut scene after cut scene, a short walking simulator, enter a cave with more story. Then you walk to a town to deliver packages, using the triggers to keep balance. Then it just got weird. Black goo, the afterlife, staying silent, baby in jar, death, rebirth, followed by more walking, without packages...

So I deleted the game, because it was not for me. On to the PS4/PS5 God of War games.

lol that's what it kind of looked like to me.  I kept scratching my head at the high praise, but that's ok.  Everyone likes what they like.

Currently sinking too many hours into Trainz 22.

Death Stranding Directors cut comes to Xbox Series X/S. Limited time on sale for 19.99.

Looked at the first user review and it proclaimed, "If you are not engrossed by this in the first hour, you are a potato."

I have called worse, plus potatoes are pretty tasty.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 preload just started on my Xbox Series X (146gb). Can't wait to play it next week.

STALKER 2 early impressions. The framerate on performance mode is terrible at launch on the Series X. Never have I seen it touch 60fps. VRR is all over the place. Controller drift is bad. I am loving the gameplay and world so far but really want to see a performance patch before I continue.

That's the norm for game releases nowadays. Jedi Survivor had a ton of performance and graphical issues when it launched, and I've heard that the Flight Simulator 2024 launch this week was a disaster too.

Never played the Ratchet and Clank series so I checked out the Rift Apart game which is on PS+. Having a blast with it. Great looking game plays smooth and the gunplay and traversal are enjoyable. Plays a lot like High on Life which I loved.

Sony finally put Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on sale, so it was an early Xmas gift to me.

My son has been pushing me to play Rift Apart for the longest time. I bought the game when it was on sale before I even owned a PS5.

I watched my son play through it twice. It's an amazing looking game and matches the visual fidelity of most animated movies.

I plan on playing it at some point. I've completed the original on PS2 and the reboot on PS4, so it's just a matter of time until I get around to Rift Apart.
