Hardspace Shipbreaker became free on ps+ trough the extra tier and I'm playing the shit out of it. such a fun gameplay loop and perfect way to wind down after getting home from work.

Started Lies of P while I’m waiting for Infinite Wealth. Probably my favorite souls clone that sticks closely to the souls formula. I feel like exploration is a bit lacking but they absolutely NAIL the atmo. I’m really impressed by this game. Combat, customization, visuals and world are all on point.

Destiny 2 multiplayer, I almost forgot how good it was.

Bought some mtx too to pimp my titan out.

And you screech about Sony making GAAS projects like a lunatic.

Hypocrisy? You be the judge!

You got me wrong... It's not about doing GAAS, I said this to you before.

I like many GAAS , I love destiny and gt7

It's just that they pushed it too hard and in some studios that really were not suited for that purpose.

I think they have a better balance now, spreading them out further.

Naughty Dog will hopefully be back on course and staff will be happy.

There's Nuance to my position.

I’ve only made a purchase from the Eververse store once. And that was when they first debuted it with the thriller emote in D1.

Their MTs are garbage. Only recently are their decent silver only skins… kinda started with the Fortnite cross-over .

After Spider-Man 2 and Resident Evil 4 Remake another time, time to give the Switch some love, and restart Mario Wonder so I can actually give it the attention it deserves.

Brilliantly fun design. I keep thinking of the last level I played, which had enemies that bounced like big rubber balls, got stuck in things, and then you could super jump off them. A later trigger just floods the screen with them, going to all-out chaos.

There’s so much child-like inspiration in that. It’s literally taking the funnest, silliest things that deep down every human being finds fun, and also paring it with a serious game design that uses all this in great level design.

I think Naughty Dog could have had a huge hit on their hands with Factions and im still surprised that they cancelled it as opposed to holding for release along side TLOUP3. If anything, Sony should have simply expanded Naughty Dog to where they have two teams, one that does their next single player game which I believe is TLOUP3 and a second team that works on Factions. That's what I would have done. Have both worlds so to speak and if Factions doesn't take off, I still have a second team that I could use for Naughty Dog's next game after TLOUP3.

I do see some studios have a multi-player mode of some sort though like Sucker Punch. After Legends for Tsushima, I can easily see them releasing Tsushima 2 with Legends included. Get a great single player open world campaign and if you want more, you jump into Legends with your friends.

Legends was amazing, so I wouldn't complain. Haha

Finished The Sinking City main story, about 13hrs because it's got A LOT of dialogue much like other Frogwares game, not easy to recommend the game but if someone like slow games with lot of detective work asking around the huge map and running/cruising with a boat from one side of the map to the other then i'll recommend it, there's fast travel phone booth but that sometimes is a bit far from where the mission is, the art direction is beautiful lovecraftian all over the game even in the diving missions, i'd give it 9/10 but the graphics are dated today and looks very base PS4 even on PC but with some console commands and reshade you could bump it up a bit so it's 8/10

Iron banner in D2.

It was Iron Banner Supremacy (kill confirmed) for a min when it went live. I loved it and then they switched it to control/fortress. Banner is hell. My least favorite weeks to play but I have builds I have ready to try so I’ll take the double PvP loot to focus farm some drops later.

Control modes are bad man. It’s the casual thing but ughh it’s really just players running from point to point as a team and actively avoiding engaging the enemy. I hate it. Kills don’t count for points in Fortress either… you can actually toggle beteeen two diff IB modes on the activity launch screen tho — that’s new?

Checkmate mode only available as 3v3 clash this week (which is also new). I like it but matches run long and would prefer if class was more than 3 players… maybe even 4v4.

Yeah, I have a load of new weapons to try out and I have stuck with control but most matches have been at least decent....

But I've had fun for the most part. They could easily make things so much better though. More exciting.
