BIG3

This is great news I think. I hope more resources lead to releases with more content on day one.

I'm on a lovely repeat binge while I'm waiting for the new Dragon Age.

Switch: Sidequests/adventures in TotK.
Series X: BG3, started a second playthrough as a Bard this time.
PS5: Alan Wake 2, The final draft (ng+).

Recently finished:
Shattered Space DLC. Enjoyed everything it had to offer. There are some things I wished would have been there but nothing to complain about. If you liked the base game I'm sure you will like Shattered Space as well.

I also played the Metaphor demo and it seems great!

Enjoy your weekend!

@Ryu_Niiyama No. Its a standalone affair.

I finished Shattered Space yesterday, as well as all sidequests and achievements and I must say I really enjoyed it. I feel like expectations was too high for this release. I came in thinking I would get a new story, new location and new sidequests.
While most negative reviews seem to be mad about frame rate issues, bugs, lack of new spaceships, companions etc. I agree on the frame rate dips being annoying at times and I hope they fix it, but the way I see it, this was supposed to be a story dlc and not a big bug squash. Speaking of bugs, I got no bugs at all in my playthrough, none.
My only complaint about the DLC now that I'm done with it is that I wish the final reward for finishing the questline would be new weapons, and an OP spacesuit on top of the reward we got.
Everything else was good or great in my book. Planet was beautiful, story had me hooked and exploring was fun, especially in the buggy. I played with Andraje as my companion even though Sarah is my main this round.
Last time I commented I said its a 7. Now I feel like its an 8. And I'm really looking forward to more upgrades in the future.
Sidenote, I would love if Bethesda hosted a contest where creators/fans/modders could win a solar system to create story DLC'S in.

Loving the demo so far!

I finished the story in the DLC yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Running through the extra sidequests now and still have a few misc achievements left. I understand every criticism mentioned here (except for gamebreaking bugs as I havent encountered any, yet). I'd give it a 7.

I'm really looking forward to messing around with the mods just like I have in Starfield.

@GamingFan4Lyf I would have never gotten into Xbox if it wasnt for the Series S being dirt cheap. Couple years later I got an X as well and I use my Xbox consoles way more than my PS5 and Switch. Xbox is in my book without a doubt the winner this generation, even if their sales numbers can't compete.

I am thrilled to play Shattered Space. It really is a great expansion and I'm having so much fun with it. Running around with Andreja is especially good.

Been playing it for a couple hours now and I absolutely love it.

Bet its gonna be awesome. Having an exclusive Kujima game on Xbox can only be positive.

Yeah. I can't even start it. A bit strange the update and Shattered Space was two separate downloads. I also had to go into the store to download Shattered space because it didnt star automatically. Trying a reboot now... wish me luck!

Update. A reboot did the trick.

@Dimey Awesome. Thanks for the info!

I wonder if the DLC will come with more achievements.

This weekend I'm playing the Metaphor demo. I loved Persona 5 so I'm definetly interested.
Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK.

Recently finished: I honestly finished this game and got the plat a long time ago but the other day I unlocked the last outfits in Stellar Blade. It's my GOTY for sure with its excellent combat, boss fights and soundtrack. Oh, and the game has been completely bug free since launch day. A high quality game indeed that I highly recommend if you like action games.

This is perfect! I got next week off and nothing to do. Now I do!!!

Nothing new to be excited for in my book. Oh well, they can't all be winners. And last showcase was crazy so I'll let this one slide, so to speak.

I must admit Monster Hunter Wilds looks incredible. Might buy it as my first MH game.

Don't like it. The Starfield controller is still my favourite across all current gen consoles. The retro ps5 might take first place though.

By the trailers it looks like it will be many different missions which looks cool.

E-Day will be awesome. I just hope they make Gears 6 too to wrap up that story. Especially because Gears 5 ended on a cliffhanger.

I dont think a next gen system will be necessary for about 3 years. But a handheld in 2026 would be great.

@StylesT If they make a custom handheld with the same design as the Halo Series X I will drop money on it yesterday!

This will be the first COD I ever play. Unless the reviews are terrible.

This weekend on PS5 I'm playing Astro Bot, Stellar Blade (only 3 suits left to find) and Alan Wake 2 ng+. I love how they integraded the DLC into the main story, very nice touch.
On Xbox I'm doing some sidequests in Witcher 3.
On the Switch I'm doing some sidequests in TotK.
It's not often I'm jumping between all 3 consoles but when I do I absolutely love it.

@Pabpictu is Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth on GPU? If not I think thats a pretty safe bet.

These numbers wont change now that they started porting games to Playstation.

Hellblade 2 on Xbox is my choice. I was mind blown by the graphics.

I'm really looking forward to it. Loved Starfield when it came out and I keep coming back to it still.

Camera problems is a no go for me...

My next xbox will be a next gen console.

@CallMeDuraSouka Most people complain about the semi open parts of the game and the story. Personally, I didn't mind it. The semi open parts to me compared to the open parts in TLOU 2 or Uncharted Lost Legacy. Nothing too crazy or time consuming. And the story, I don't know. I liked it. And the DLC is great as well. Totally worth it at a sale I'll say. There are more parts I found annoying in Gears 4 than in 5 (which I didn't find annoying at all).

I loved it. Played through the campaign both solo and with two mates. The DLC as well which is awesome and I spent a lot of time online, especially in horde mode.

I picked up Astrobot (PS5) because it reviewed well and I'm kind of in between games right now. I'm not really a fan of 3D platformers but perhaps this game will convince me. It definetly looks fun enough. And I love all the Easter eggs in it. Looking forward to playing it later today.

Scarlet Nexus is worth it at that discount. Only finished it once and have no plans to go back but it was fun for what it is.

I played Ryza 2 on Switch and liked it enough to finish it. This new game looks way better so Im definetly interested.

I mean. A year later and I still pick it up every now and then to mess around even though I have played all missions and unlocked aøø achievements.

@Vipor007 I love it. Bought it at launch and have enjoyed a bunch of Nintendos exclusives like Splatoon, Astral Chain, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Smash Bros, Xenoblade and much more. I also love that I can play it handheld.
With that being said, I'm not sure if I would buy one now because Nintendo plan to release their next gen console next spring. So if I were you I would either buy a Switch second hand just to try it or wait until the next one comes out.

I'm all over the place playing Stellar Blade (ps5), Forza Horizon 4 (Series X) and Smash Bros (Switch). Have a good weekend!

So I finally beat BG3!!! For me it was a hard game to master but when it finally clicked, it is so good! I went from giving up on the game in act 1 to rolling credits with a big grin on my face. I can imagine this being a game I will play over again just to take different paths in the future.

This weekend it's back to a steady rotation of hunting down the final costumes in Stellar Blade on PS5.
Forza 4 and Starfield (with the new vehicle) on Series X while waiting for Shattered Space next month.
And nothing on Switch OLED unfortunatly. I think my next game will be Lego Horizon on that console.

Im also really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard.

Have a good weekend.

That 70bn deal was too big for Microsoft to not notice. I guess this is just how its going to be moving forward.

I hope Unknown 9 will be good. I'll test the vehicles in Stsrfield this week. Nice to see a release date for Shattered Space as well.

Shattered Space will hold me over until Indy. Good!

I picked up Forza 4 Ultimate after playing the standard version on Gamepass a lot. Right now I'm doing the fortune Island DLC and I'm absolutely loving it. The Forza gameplay loop really is something else. Perfect game to pick up, do some races and put down again.

I just finished my third playthrough of Stellar Blade. Still missing a couple costumes, I'll have to look them up but I wont do another run yet.
I'm stuck on BG3 and I can't be bothered to deal with it now.
I did buy Forza 4 Ultimate so I might just do some races or something.
I'm really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard. That will most likely be my next new game.

@kingtoten I feel the same. Forza 5 should have had a bigger city in it. I got tired off the desert real quick.

@Feffster I'm very excited for mixtape.

@Cherip-the-Ripper Ha. You made me laugh for real. Have a good weekend!

Oh yeah. Will be tuning in to Shattered Space, Avowed, Stalker 2 and Indy.

If its Starfield I just might double dip and get the plat.
