Picked up Dying Light 2 while it's on deep discount, $20. I love the first game, haven't played through the base game half a dozen times now. But it seems DL2 was not received as well as the first game. Techland removed the mini-map, making runners more difficult to identify and guard against. And the weapon destruction was removed, but the cost to repair weapons is immense.

I'm only a few hours in and I can sympathize with those complaints.

Guys, I’m thinking of buying Spider man GOTY edition for my ps5 with the sale going on. Really want to play that game, but the game the went between my dad and uncle got lost somewhere in between. What do you guys think? Or should I wait for the 30$ Miles Morales ultimate edition that comes by pretty often recently?

So I finally got the God of War and Uncharted games to play on Ps3.

I mostly got Ps3 to play Ps1 and 2 games, but if I'm gonna get PS3 games, those seemed like good choices so I at least have some collection of PS3 games for my PS3, it feels silly if its just a box for downloaded games and only the 6 or 7 PS3 games I've had for ages.

Probably the only Ps3 games that particularly interest me otherwise are Tokyo Jungle and 3D Dot Game Heroes, which is I guess what happens when Xbox 360 begins to kill the very concept of exclusives.

Bought Skryim...again...for $16.50.

Got tired of the frequent crashing with the Switch version.

Maybe the PS5 version will crash less frequently. Perhaps?

@Magician That is odd. My playthrough of Skyrim + the 2 DLCs on the Switch crashed on me like only 2 or 3 times.

And I was playing it un-updated, just from the cartridge.

Also, crashes are one of the main features in Bethesda games. It would feel off if the game is not crashing, it might ruin your experience.

OMG...!
Finally this indie game will have physical release. 😃

IKR

Usually the crashes don't occur until I've loaded my house with flawless gems.

But on the Switch version, after the Anniversary edition patch, has my game crashing whenever I walk away from a dragon and/or fight a dragon mask owner. Kind of rough.

The day has come. My PS5 controller that only lasted nine months, that incurred drift in the left analog stick, has progressed to now making me do quarter-turns in the right analog stick. So I sprang for the PS5 DualSense Edge controller with the replaceable analog stick modules.

Well played, Sony. Getting me to drop $250 on controller stuffs. Very well played.

Good olde Skyrim.

My favorite thing to do with every new playthrough is make a b-line to Windhelm and Revyn Sadri. Utilize his Speech training. Get Speech to 50 asap. Pretty much breaks the game's progression when you have increased profits.

Once Speech is at 50, make my way over to Markarth. Ogmund the expert Speech trainer at the Silver-Blood Inn. Level Speech to 75. And then to the Bard's College in Solitude. Giraud Gemane, level Speech to 90.

Then there are the usual personal tenants. Don't level skills you aren't using because enemies scale. In my opinion this includes: Heavy Armor, Illusion, Alteration, Restoration, Two-Handed, Block, and Pickpocket. Light armor > heavy armor because of the burden on carry weight. Axes > Swords because of bleed. Alchemy and Enchanting are crucial, both for profit gains and min-maxing your gear.

42 hours (where'd the weekend go? lol.), 60% of the base game trophies unlocked. Almost a 14 year old game, the questing still feels good. Although the jank with npc reations hasn't aged as well. "The world is ending!" "Oh, everything is fine, nevermind."

Skyrim - 68 hours, popped the platinum trophy for the base game, finished Hearthfire, finished Dawnguard. I can see why Dawnguard wasn't received well. Just a whole bunch of walking forward and fighting. It's like Final Fantasy X or XIII got into my Elder Scrolls, lol.

Received my order for the Dualsense Edge yesterday. Dang, this boi is chunky. About 15% heavier than the standard PS5 controller. Using this controller every day, I'll be swole like Kali Muscle before you know it.

After a couple months of playing it I finally finished Indiana Jones & the Great Circle this week. Not quite a GOTY quality experience IMO, but still a really great time. I'm just not personally big on the stealth focus (the sooner I could obtain a region's "bad guy" disguise and largely ignore that element of the game, the better) and the combat (when it popped up) was super basic (the gunplay was really fun when the opportunity afforded itself though). All the puzzle elements were really fun & actually pretty difficult at times though, the story was pretty interesting with some cool reveals at the end, and it did a really good job immersing you into the role/world (I liked that the map was an actual unfolding paper map).

Also just started Forza Horizon 5 this morning. Played it for a couple hours so far & it's started off tons of fun.

Skyrim - 90 hours, 100% trophies (base game + dlc)

I probably could've shaved several hours off that completion time. I did a long of dungeon delving. It was my first time through the dlc, so my pathing wasn't optimal. Crafting with stahlrim required me to reset my Smithing skill. Thankfully, crafting a 100% Alteration-cost set allowed me to grind 18 levels in twenty minutes, making the Kill A Legendary Dragon trophy easier than I expected.
