Got the platinum for God of War 4 last week and beat chains of olympus. Replaying Infamous Second Son now while also playing a bit of Fortnite on my switch. Gonna probably start God of War Ghost of Sparta and Forza Horizon 1 or 3 soon.
I use the screenshot/share button a lot on switch, XSX and ps5. Mainly for pretty sceneries, sometimes funny moments and when a funny glitch happens I record it. The shard button is probably the best addition to controllers in the past 15 years.
Beat God of War 4 yesterday and trying to get the platinum now.
Besides that still trying to get the fallguys fortnite skin, thought I had until the 17th but apparently it ends the 10th.
Other than those I’ll probably start something new, thinking about final fantasy 7, wild arms or trails of cold steel 1.
Playing yakuza 5 ps4 at the moment on my ps5 which I’m about halfway through with.
Also bought tiny tina’s wonderlands at a sale for ps5 for €25 which I’ll be playing after. It’s actually my first ps5 game I bought myself new/not used since my launch pre orders, all my other pickups where either used or gifts.
Besides that I am still playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3ds, animal crossing new horizons on my switch and forza horizon 5 on my XSX.
@uptownsoul the switch version already has all the dlc included. The anniversary edition has 250 of the most popular mods included as official content + a few new skill trees and perks.
@kategray Funfact about ali-A. He might be more relevant to this website than you might think. He used to be a huge poketuber (pokemon youtuber) before he got into fortnite in 2018.
@somebodyelse hard mode unlocks when you open a “game finished” save file. You can’t start the game on hard, it basically makes all bosses (and enemies but not sure) level 55. There’s only 5 trophies/achievements locked behind it and you can swap between hard mode and normal mode whenever you want at your home base.
Just 100%ed the game today including all 50 achievements. Usually I need guides but this game is 100% easily doable guideless. The game literally tells you where’s what for every quest and if you go for 100% you’ll get a general feel for where all crystals, gems, resources and enemies are when you need to grind.
Also tip for those struggling with the lvl 50 trophy. Put the game on hardmode and redo the first boss. All bosses give the capped 9.999 exp on hard mode and the first boss is an easy kill on hard, second one too but the first is shorter and doable damage less with ease.
EDIT: and if you struggle with hard mode you can do the 4th boss with all lvl 4 exp multipliers. That gives 9.999 too. Although I’d argue the 4th boss on easy is harder than the 1st boss on hard, despite all bosses supposedly being just as hard on hard difficulty.
I want nintendo to follow the standardized 7 year console cycle. After that I hope they switch 2 can atleast match the series S, if not the ps4 pro. I don’t want it to be a crazy expensive up to date consoles but having the ability to run all current gen games at 720p 30fps without other setbacks would be ace.
@Clyde_Radcliffe I think the list is about games that have mental health as heavy theming, not games that can help with personal mental health. So basically games that can make you aware of the issues.
I haven’t played any games all week sadly but I want to try and start trek to yomi on the xbox. Also want to try and continue FE fates birthright on my 3DS.
Hope it works out but I’m just not feeling it atm.
I’m a fan of it if it’s consistent or when it has multiple versions during 1 console gen if it has enough per iteration to seperate them on a shelf. Xbox does them the worst. Nintendo and sony are consisten. If I see platinum hits and essentials for ps3 at flea markets for €2< I instantly buy them because I like them. Even if I already own the regular edition of the game on ps3.
@Savage_Joe @Not_Soos lego ideas submissions require to be 100% official pieces (new prints on existing pieces is allowed) so the creator had to use the closest thing to fox and falco’s heads. The chima animal hairpieces.
Yokai watch 4 was supposed to happen but was cancelled when level-5 announced they aren’t localizing their games in English anymore and won’t outsource them either.
Playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3DS. Not liking it as much as awakening so far but still a great game.
Gonna finally start yakuza 5 on my ps4/5. Only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left to play. Played all other games including the 2 judgment games and fist of the north star already.
On xbox I might start mass effect 3, and next week I’ll play yoku’s island express.
@PJOReilly @RupeeClock @DJP- @tanaka2687 lego age ratings reflect the build size and difficulty. 18+ usually means more technical builds (not the technic line) and a lot of frustrating pieces.
Ingame mechanics and systems should not be patented/copyrighted. Look at what happened with bandai namco and their exclusive patent for playable loading screens, they didn’t do anything with it ane now that the patent expired and no one could develop the tech further over those 20 years they held the patent no one is using the tech anymore.
@alexybubble that’s actually what I initially typed but my tired mind went “wait, is that correct, that doesn’t make sense” so I “corrected” myself (incorrectly).
@AndyC_MK111 persona 1 was released on ps1 in america, persona 2-1 was released on ps1 in america. Not europe tho. The west had to wait until the psp remake of 2-2 until the could finally play the actual persona 3 (since 3 is technically 4, 4 is 5 and 5 is 6.)
I would rather have atlus bring over a bundle of persona 3 FES and portable than base P3. FES is basically the golden and portable has an alt route + the true post game ending.
With the chance of my comment being deleted.
LRG is a scam FOMO company that betrayed their original costumers from their original psvita days. From stuff like removing their “preservation” and “forever physical” slogans and removing all traces of those slogans because they “never” had them to shipping the DOOM collection with the original patch thay has the always online DRM despite the update removing the DRM being launched before the physical got announced to having shiren the wanderer on pc be a code in the box because it undersold at pre orders and they never announced the change from a DRM free disc to a code. And many many other things.
EDIT: have been wanting to say this for a few LRG articles now but this seemed like the perfect one to share my grievances.
I’d buy a switch 2 even if it didn’t have any exclusives day 1. On the one hand I want a new switch that’s comparable to the ps4 pro or xbox series S at least in power as soon as possible. On the other hand I want the switch to finish a normal 7 year console cycle first.
@GrailUK both blizzard and VV have been the consistent parts of activision that support the switch alongside toys for bobs. I doubt VV and blizzard will suddenly stop after this merger especially since overwatch 2 and diablo 4 are still slated for release on the switch.
Share button. You’ll discover you take it for granted once you want to screenshot something on a console that isn’t the XSX, ps5, ps4, psvita or switch and can’t.
I have slay the spire through UGP and PS+ but sadly I’m working through some ps4 first party games atm in my backlog. Have owned a ps4 sinde march of 2014 now but barely played any exclusives on it throughout the years, especially after I got a switch at launch. I beat concrete genie, uncharted 1, ratchet and clank, infamous second son, infamous first light, LittleBigPlanet 3, spider-man (ps5 version), spider-man miles morales (ps5), astro’s playroom (ps5), astro bot rescue mission, VR worlds, gravity rush and tearaway. Most of those I beat last year. Still a lot left. Currently playing horizon zero dawn.
@nukatha same as to how most source codes for Japanese ps2 games where lost during that time (like silent hill 2, 3 and 4), deleted to free up space for the next project because game preservation was not on their minds back then and software storage space was limited.
@nukatha I second what @anoyonmus said. And to elaborate, SE lost the source codes to final mix versions of KH1, 2, CoM and BBS so they had to nativily remake them for ps3. The games in these collections are not the ps2 games, they remade ps3 games. + CoM is not the GBA version and BBS is not the psp versionc they’re the Japanese exclusives ps2 versions.
Continuing tokyo mirage sessions #FE encore on the switch and after a few years of wanting to play it I finally started playing folklore on the ps3. Also a bit of muse dash on the switch here and there

Re: Talking Point: If 1-2-Switch Sequel Rumours Are Somehow True, How Could Nintendo Improve It?
Not IMO unless they change the game fundamentally to be a full game. It was a tech demo that should’ve been a pack in game.

Gonna start fire emblem fates birthright on 3ds too.
And finally uncharted 3 on ps5. Beat uncharted 2 yesterday and loved it.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 9th)
Horizon zero dawn complete edition on ps4/ps5. Trying to get the platinum trophy.
After that I’ll go back to spider-man miles morales to get the newgame+ trophy and the platinum.
No switch, 3ds or xbox this weekend.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 2nd)
Fire emblem awakening on the 3DS. Almost done with the game and it’s great. It’s my first FE game too.
