Also, didn’t know this game has released already, gamepass is really bonkers, so many games releasing on day one with so little time to play. I’m yet to complete the newest cod on topic, saw review and the game is looking good. Both this and stalker seems awesome. Will wait for couple of months for them to release all their patches and then try them ! FP adventure games gives me nausea though, I hope it’s not bad here !

Are you taking a month off from work or something lol ? How do you guys play so many games in such short times ?

I watched this movie called ‘manjummel boys’ recently on Disney hotstar, it was very good. To think it was based on real story gave me the chills

I’ve seen the first season, loved it. It’s based on a book series and se01 kinda ends on a cliffhanger so went ahead ands read the plot of the full series on Wikipedia 😂 can’t wait for season 2 now ! Dark matter is another one of amazing shows on Apple+. Especially for fans of Dark. It’s not as good as dark, but comes close IMO. i can’t believe apple launches all these high quality shows without any fanfare or marketing ! I’m watching shrinking - se02, and loving that too - I found it to be quite a chilled show to watch after a long day at work lol !

FF 16 on ps5. Also playing a bit of cod:bo 6 sp campaign (pc gamepass) and splinter cell blacklist(steam) on pc at times. I’m amazed how well sc: blacklist plays today as well. One of the few games that has aged very well !

Installed it today on pc via gamepass, was a breeze. Selected only the campaign. Had to create a activision account and the game restarted some 2-3 times for shader compilation. Overall, I think it took some 10 mins or so that’s it. Running smooth at 2k resolution. Played for around 10-15 mins ando felt like it’s the same old virtua cop style arcade shooter as it was before (long time since I played a cod game i guess ) ex: imaginary grenades spamming all around for no reason 😂 the voice acting/gfx/writing have been top notch so far !

Gfx are some of the best even on ps5. Just completed that ifrit fight and man , all those fireworks !! was scared if base ps5 can handle all that visual fidelity…. I think it’s running at 30fps in gfx mode ? I would love to check out this game on pro !

If you put on those 3 rings (evasion/combos/assistance) then it’s just pressing square and pressing qte on time, there’s literally nothing else to the combat apart from upgrading abilities when you level up. Clive is really op and those rings are not some mod or something , they were prompted by the game itself in the beginning ! I’m not sure if the game was difficult before, but I’ve never died even once so far , even against bosses it’s just spamming square ! I’m tempted to try playing the game without those rings, maybe in the next play through ! Outside of combat, the game itself is good though, perhaps the best presentation of story I’ve seen in video games in recent times! Just curious though, is this game some sort of prequel to ff7 remake? There’s so much stuff common like ifrit and chocobo. Or like set on the same universe or something ?

So started this game few days back, the presentation is so top notch, feels like a Hollywood tv show ! But I’m finding the combat too shallow especially compared to the ATB party based combat of ff7. The skill tree looks so shallow as well, does it get better ?

Time is an issue even for me. That’s why I didn’t renew ps extra, wanted to complete few games I purchased and some games from gamepass first. Also, the game maybe short but from what I’ve played, it’s no cakewalk even on normal. Parrying seems like a hit and miss and I haven’t been able to perfect it yet. There’s no levels like regular rpg that makes the character stronger, need to get skills , armour and upgrades from exploration and xp to get strong!

So am I the only one here playing this game ? Anyway, playing this on pc gamepass and it’s surprisingly decent. They’ve borrowed something from a lot of games but I feel it kinda works. There’s active reload from geow, the savepoint + enemy respawn like souls games etc I was about to start Elden ring, but then thought of giving this a shot since it showed just 12 hours if gameplay in gamepass. Also the game setting and the story seems a little intriguing. Let’s see if it manages to stay interesting until the end !

PC - Completed re3: remake and onto this game called flintlock: siege of dawn. It’s more like AA soulslike game, but a bit janky and little bit easier. The premise seems interesting and it’s got a pretty neat traversal system called rift which is pretty awesome ! PS5 - Hogwartz legacy. Man this game is deceptively huge. I’m at level 10 and the game still gives me tutorials on some new unlock! Looks like I’ll be playing this game pretty much this month and the next !

lol yeah, maybe someone should remake the ninja gaiden games …. It’s been quite sometime since I played them but I don’t think there was a way to grind and get strong either, was there ?

Yeah I think I’m in the middle of it, now playing as Carlos in that hospital level…. gotta say both re2 & re3 remakes have exceeded my expectations. Although re3 feels a little more action oriented than re2 !

Hogwartz legacy Final fantasy 16 Re3: remake Baldurs gate 3 Elden ring not sure if I’ll get the time for completing all the above !

But having played it once before, once you know the plot, is it that engaging? Also saw a review, looks like they’ve added run and gun feature instead of standing still like in the ps2 game, I think that would nerf a lot of fights, especially the one with that regenerator !

Thanks for the invites joined them, but they seem like WhatsApp group chats though. Not used discord much, maybe it takes time to get used to !

Completed a few games venue my ps extra expired. Wasa real vfm in the past one year, got to play a variety of games in the sub which I would not have played otherwise. Now shifted my focus to competing games I purchased on ps5. Currently playing Hogwartz legacy on ps5 - I think it’s mostly for Harry Potter fans, I’m not really into it. But pushing myself to play thru hoping it gets better. Resident evil 3: remake on pc gamepass. Loving this, completed the prequel : re2 remake on ps extra sometime back. Wonder if I should purchase the re4: remake as well now (has played the original on ps2 long ago).

Whoa ! when did this site come back 😀? I thought this time it’s gone for good. Saw some message in another forum/twitter or somewhere that the site founder has moved on. So who’s the new owner now ? Also, before it goes down again, is there an alternate forum you guys were using when this was down ? I guess we need a place to discuss games/movies/tv shows etc., playing games in isolation is not much fun unless you discuss/rant on these periodically (if that makes any sense) ! Also none in my friends/family circle play games lol 😂

lol, I thought I was the only one getting old and spending less and less time as the years went by…. Looks like many here are in the same boat - just buy games and don’t find the time to play them …. 😂 i think, video games in general tend to take lot more time and energy compared to others media like movies/tv/music. Going by the short attention spans especially of the future gens, I think the long length SP games will slowly get phased out of the market !

Just out of curiosity, how much of time do you spend in a week on playing video games ? Personally, I spend like 7-8 hours in a good week, but otherwise on average it might be around 4-5 hours / week. Many days just fly by without even powering on the console/pc. My interest in games is definitely waning. Partly due to family/work commitments, and partly due to other distractions like OTT. Also, maybe due to the fact that the video games these days are mostly just sequels of previous games and rehashing of the same old concepts and rarely a fresh idea comes out. So for such games, after playing a few hours, don’t really feel like sticking long enough to complete them.

In chapter 15 now, how much more of the game is left ? I think I reached a point of no return in the game at the end of chapter 14. Read that it’s leaving ps extra in May, how long would it take to complete the remaining chapters and the intermission dlc (no spoilers please) ?

Just went thru some of the reviews of immortals of aveum , it has good reviews and even the gameplay looks good. Is this a well known game ? I’ve hardly heard much about it so far.

Can I read the 2nd and 3rd books after having seen the first season but without reading the first book ? I understand the character names/locations etc might be different. But will it be too hard to follow ?
