BIG3

I know this is silly but if they add more trophies with these DLCs like they did with Control I hope at least one of them is a gold trophy because that platinum list looks terrible without any.

A skip to the temple puzzles

@fabisputza007 ah. Thank you! I appreciate a good story in my games.

@fabisputza007 what are your thoughts on Banishers? I kind of want to check it out.

@FarmDog08 how long did it take you to get to this point?

Smart putting the character creator out early. Let players be ready to jump right in when the game actually launch. Hope this becomes a standard.

This news made me wait for reviews and digital foundry. 30 stable is fine but dips really bother me.

All I know is I played the demo on my PS5 and decided to not buy it because it looked wonky to me. Combat was great though, so there's that!

Three games got my attention.
Unknown 9: Awakening, The Alters and Creatures of Ava.
Overall a good showing if you ask me.

@FatalBubbles I never encountered those problems myself.

Let me know when you can slip the temple "puzzle" after doing the first one.

The DLCs are great! There are some areas that I found very enjoyable.

Oooh. I really want to try no more heroes 3. Might have to jump back into gamepass for that.
Also. If you havent played Control and have gamepass. Please make room to play it!!! Such a great game!

I find myself a bit in a slump as of late. Plenty of games to play but as soon as I boot one up I just turn it off again. Except Halo Infinite. Im considering buying Helldivers 2 though... so maybe that.

Love that sub headline!!

Hellblade 2 for me. Looks incredible and heard its not a long game which is nice. Will of course play Avowed and Indy as well.

PS5: FF7R Demo
Switch: Nothing
Series X: BG3

The more I play this game the more boring I find it. Made it to Act 2 but I can't say I care anymore, and I don't understand why... I should love it but I don't.

Never saw season one but it seems like they have taken the feedback to heart. Time will tell when the season is over. I'm still on the fence if I should give this one a go.

Series X: Baldurs Gate 3, just got to act 2, hope the story picks up, game is a bit of a drag imo.
PS5: Nothing, waiting for supposed the ff7r demo.
Switch: Nothing.

Recently finished: Tekken 8, got the platinum in one sitting which was a first for me as far as trophies goes. Loved the story mode, best one yet. Fighting is awesome but a bit too easy tbh.

I must admit I love the way they are approaching this game.

@GamingFan4Lyf Love the Monolith approach.

Yeah. Dragon's Dogma 2 have definetly peaked my interest. I'll decide after reviews.

@DJKingaling I got a save file for that specific part. I keep showing it to my friends. Lol.

I already platinumed it. Wasnt that hard tbh. Thought it was more weird that there arent any achievements/trophies for ng+.

Sounds good to me!

I recently finished TotK. What a game! How Nintendo managed to top BotW is mind blowing to me.
I also earned the platinum for Alan Wake 2 this week. Another incredible gem I highly recommend.
Having completed those two games means my GOTY run only got one game left and that's BG3 on Series X.
HOWEVER, I'm very tempted to buy Tekken 8 so yeah... And to make things even more "difficult" I also want to preorder FF7 Rebirth because I never played the DLC for the first one which comes free with the preorder. I also wouldn't mind trying TLOU2's No Return. Decisions... decisions... Have a good weekend everybody.

Said it before. This might be my GOTY. The first game was great although combat got stale. During the dev they said they have improved combat so I dont think I will have anything to complain about this time around. Senua is such a top tier character too. Can't wait to get lost in her crazy world.

I wonder what they will do with all the custom items. Will they all be made available somehow? Or will they stay vaulted forever?

Hyped for this game!!

I'll have to try this one.

I'm glad they are still squashing bugs in this game. But they need to make it possible to skip the temple "puzzles" once you've done a couple of them at the most. I'm really looking forward to the DLC whenever that drops.

@FatalBubbles Sounds good to me. There's enough 100+ hours games out there with more dropping this year.

@TheSimulator That would be Death Stranding.

Seriously though, the first Hellblade was more of a puzzle game with some combat in it. The regular enemies got boring real quick (seemed like they have made good adjustments to combat this time around), however, in the original the bossfights was really well done. What really elevates this game from others in the audio design and the story with an awesome Senua as the centerpiece of it all. Even though I've only played Hellblade ones, it is one of those games I keep bringing up and think about after all these years.

@LuciaThicc Had to check out which games they have released previously and you are not wrong. Obsidian got a solid catalog.

@BrilliantBill That was mad funny.

I see a lot of doubt in the first person view but honestly, nobody does first person better than Machine Games so I'm confident it will turn out great.

I have no problem with Hellblade 2 being digital only, priced low and is a short game. May cant come soon enough!

I agree with Phil. The format is excellent.

Nobody does first person better than Machinegames. I'm not worried one bit about that.

Though I'm not interested in every game shown I had to put an A on this presentation. The format is great and all the games looks incredible. I'll be buying Hellblade 2, The Great Circle and Awoved for sure. Awesome showcase.

This DD convinced me to get 3 games on Xbox this year.

Machinegames cant go wrong with this one!

Looks great. Xbox about to have a huge year.

This will be my GOTY. I can feel it!

Switch: TotK
PS5: AW2
Series X: BG3

I have decided to abandon some games because they feel like a chore playing. I'll just look at it as losses.
I have also decided to have a maximum of three games to play at a time that I must finish before I buy a new one.
I'm also going to buy less games and wait for sales, simply because I bought a lot of games full price and some of them I didn't get to start before they went on sale (looking at you Alan Wake 2).
So yeah, that's it.

I platted Origins but got burned out doing it. Haven't returned to an AC game since. I might try Hexe whenever that drops though.

Definetly a lot of games I'm interested in coming this year. Might personally be a better year for me than 2023. And that's crazy.

When HiFi Rush dropped my first thought was it would be a perfect fit for the Switch.
