What are you currently playing? v.12 (True Face Edition)

[Fury]

Funny you mention that. I got a 10 minute one just an hour ago but in reality it was like 3 minutes tops. First time I've seen that too. I really love mine, especially after that huge update that expands the cloud library. So many of my games I can play now without turning on my PS5. I wouldn't be surprised if I go 50/50 with the TV now. Basically just saving the TV for the bigger AAA games and using portal as an RPG console.

Yeah, I had it later show 60 minutes but really was only 4 or 5 minutes.

I've been using it a lot for most things. I don't mind waiting a few minutes, it's just the only time that I've seen it.

Picked up "MH:Rise/Sunbreak" for a song. It was the game that actually taught me how to play these stupidly complex, yet simple games. I think if you have MHW and MHR, you pretty much get the best of both worlds of this franchise. Rise is there for when MHW gets tedious, and MHW is there for when you want you want something a little deeper.

Never thought I'd even grow to like this franchise, but now I'm bouncing between two games and loving every second of it.

Think I'll pick up "Cyberpunk" as well on the big sale, since it's on the cloud. Gotta finally see what all the hype is about.

Cyberpunk is worth every penny when on discount, especially if with DLC

I got it like 50 percent off and paid 30 bucks for it, ended up putting like 200 hours into it which is a lot for me

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

I've been one fetch quest away from this stupid wedding for like ten hours now. I can't even remember why I'm trying to get there. This game makes Farming Simulator feel like Ninja Gaiden.

I haven't played either KCD but that made me laugh.

I started Wu Chang Fallen Feathers. I haven't done much yet but I like the environment and combat so far.

Man I was debating between WuChang and KCD2. I chose KCD2 because it came with the first game and all the DLC so it seemed like a deal but now I'm wishing I would have picked WuChang. KCD2 is just such a SLOG. "Allegedly" it opens up after the wedding so I'm going to at least get there before dropping it.

I looked at some different games but determined I didn't want anything too open world. WuChang really feels like Dark Souls in China.

I was looking for a good JRPG to play until Nioh 3 releases and finally decided on Octopath Traveler 2. Game was 60% off and I've heard really good things about it. I also enjoyed every other HD-2D game from Square Enix that I have played so far so it was kind of a no brainer to pick up the one that's considered to be one of their better recent titles. Really loving it so far, I heard it's about 60 hours long just to do the main story so I'll be with this for a while. Seems like a fairly straight forward platinum too, just might be a bit time consuming.

I dropped RDR just not my thing. It was an ok game but I wasn't really feeling it and with so much to play right now I didn't see the point in going on.

Started up Gran Blue Fantasy (it's on PS+) and holy shit did I fall in love with this game (turn off motion blue it's the worst I've ever seen in a game). It's basically a gacha game but without having to give the dev more money. Story was short and sweet only about 15 hours long. Then the end game opens up and I didn't plan on doing it but I also didn't feel like starting something else and got wrapped up in this end game content.

It basically involves you fighting harder versions of previous bosses, then getting to the point where you are fighting multiple bosses at the same time and even new bosses near the end. This whole time you're grinding out levels, skill points, and weapon materials to keep making your team stronger. I did think about getting the plat but one of the trophies involves farming the hardest mission in the game to get like 15 different weapons for all the characters. It was to much and I don't plan on doing all that. I got like 4 trophies left but that weapons one will be to much grinding for me.

Not sure where I go from here. I've been wanting to play Stick of Truth since like the day it came out and never have. I looked and the plat is only 20 hours long. I think I can squeeze it in before Beyond Horizon comes out but I'm not sure what I'll do. Would also be a good time to take a break and just catch up on some TV shows\movies while I wait.

That's where I'm at right now. I'm about 14 hours in and still haven't found my dog or came close to the wedding. It's tedious af but slowly growing on me. The thing annoying me the most right now is how a pair of fucking shoes only lasts a day or 2 until they're fully damaged. I also don't like the Saviour schnaps saving bullshit so i downloaded a mod to save anytime I want.

I highly recommend getting the dog. It saves you from the horrible combat.

Seriously I was annoyed I didn't get the dog quicker after getting him. The Dog and learning mater strike are the #1 thing people should be doing when starting the game. From there you can play however you want and just make sure to buy save schnapps everywhere you go and then saving doesn't become an issue either.

Cyberpunk 2077

Finally giving it a go. Pretty much just past the first mission, which is practically a tutorial on top of the training tutorial. Can't say too much about the game so far, but it has potential. A bit of a weird control scheme, but nothing all that bad. I'm always curious as to why some developers feel the need to change my brain around and make anything but the "A" or "X"(on PS) button your main "interact" button, but whatever. I'd also like to see them just get rid of the "mouse cursor" shit for consoles. This is a hybrid, so when I use the D-pad to select some things, it can get fucked up by using the analog stick...just stop it. The analog stick is not a mouse, and it always sucks having to use it as one.

Character creation was...pretty insane. Not too often you get dick and tit adjusters, LOL. The world looks great, and I already love all the hacking stuff, and have so many scenarios going through me head. It's a bit like "Watchdogs" but way better in that regard. Gunplay is really tight, which is shocking for an RPG of this kind. "Starfield" was pretty good with that, but you could still feel the wonkiness. Not here. It feels like an FPS when you're in fire fights, albeit more forgiving due to the nature of the game.

From what I have played so far, this is kind of what I want out of GTA titles in the future. A open world sandbox RPG, that doesn't skimp on either. GTA has been flirting with RPG systems, but it always feels like they're holding back. From what I can tell so far, this game proves you can do both.

Anyways, early days, but it's looking like quite the experience I've got ahead of me.

I prayed Elden Ring would release a DLC that enabled a PVE arena mode vs progressively harder waves of enemies and bosses. Would have been perfect mode for it. Great opportunity for leaderboard.
