I assume you are playing on PC, as I can’t justify an extensive PC upgrade right now, I’m stuck on my PS5 - but I’ve also heard good things about the console.

From what I’ve heard, the new 2.0 update and DLC are really great! So I really hope I can finally play it now haha.

I’ve also heard good things about the performance and bugs!

Did you play the new DLC?

My many problem where honestly the bugs (had a game breaking one and I just saved…) and the performance…

it’s still not the game they marketed but it’s unlikely it ever would be.

I agree! It was just way too much and too big… even with their development time, I mean look how long GTA6 takes.

Dare I say it… did they really turned around the ship? I waited since the launch to finally finish playing it (or in this case, start a new game).

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind and quite enjoy the occasional Far Cry, but like with Assassin’s Creed, we have been a bit oversaturated tbh.

The same is kinda true for the Ubisoft Star Wars game. I really hope this one turns out fine.

I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.

Not great, but not bad either tbh.

First of all… Roblox only coming to PS4 is super weird, but on the other hand, I really don’t care.

I don’t want to see any more Spider-Man 2 stuff at all - I’d rather play it already.

My fear is that Avatar is just a Far Cry in disguise - I hope not.

For the rest, nothing for me really. Ghostrunner 2 looks nice if you enjoyed the first one.

I will definitely check out the Foamstars Open Beta, looks like a silly game to play with some friend and have some fun.

Yup, the rabbit hole is quite deep. That’s only the people we know to have been targeted by this version Pegasus, I’m sure the dark figure is much higher.

Thank you for directly linking the trailer!

Looks good, I’m excited - but I keep my expectations in check.

Unfortunately, as far as I understand it, not really. NSO and for sure many other companies offering similar spy software use multiple 0-day exploits to get into your device.

At least for the Pegasus one, a system restart seems to do the trick in removing it in most cases, although there are some reports on surviving even a factory reset on some phones…

The other question is, if you are not a person of interest like a high-ranking politician or journalist, you are most likely not going to be a target of an attack. On the other hand, you never know… and that’s the really scary part.

I’m sorry, but I really don’t get it… the bigger question is and always has been where can I watch it.

It was a bit easier during the beginning of the streaming era, but never that easy, especially in Europe…

I need a stupid app (JustWatch) to tell me where I can watch a movie or show… so how is it easy to watch? It’s also not easy if I need 4+ streaming services…

I agree, the first boss is the hardest one imho - it is a skill check of sorts. After I beat them it really clicked with me and I more or less blasted to the game in one go. It is truly a masterpiece, I couldn’t have described it better!

I played the first one when it came out… so I hardly remember anything anymore haha. But remember using two different bow and slingshots as well as the weapons for tethering the machines…

Could be that I wasn’t in the right mindset when I played it, but for me it felt like more of the same. Since Zelda BOTW I also find it a bit awkward when you are not able to climb everything - but this is not solely in Horizon the case. It certainly was a gorgeous looking game with a fantastic story and world, but the gameplay never really clicked with me… and I really can’t say why exactly, probably a combination of a few things. I never got into Monster Hunter, maybe that’s also a factor.

You are welcome! I was really confused when the DLCs were mentioned in the PSN description, but I couldn’t find them… And definitely play them - I don’t want to spoil anything haha, just do it!

I was the only one who beat it among my friends… for some it was too difficult or they didn’t like the rogue aspect of the game. It is really a unique game and certainly not for everybody (which is a shame, because it’s so great).

As for horizon: I really loved the story, setting and the world building, but gameplay wise it never really clicked with me. I felt that there where to many weapons and status effects (I preferred the simpler version in the first game) and the some of the machines had a bit too much health so that the fights felt artificially stretched. But probs for the accessibility options, auto-pickup/loot and that you get all parts from beaten machines. Haha, yes she really likes to talk… I really couldn’t bring myself to get the platinum, I even set it to the lowest difficulty to finish it. I really can’t say what it was, but it dragged on a bit too much.

Yeah, the gameplay of Alan Wake aged not so well, but as you sad, it is a fantastic game with an awesome stroy that is well paced too! Don’t forget to play the DLC chapters after you’ve beaten the game. They are only available via chapter select in the main menu!

I swear I got a nice and clean shot of Nessie… but unfortunately my camera fell into the water… such a bummer!

It was so amazing! I really was blown away… but unfortunately nothing since then came close.

Ah yes control - I got myself the platinum twice, but excellent recommendation! Have you played Alen Wake Remastered? It’s also from the studio of Control (Remedy) and plays in the same connected universe.

That’s good to hear, thanks! It looks really good and like a solid replacement.

You really dodged a bullet there tbh.

The game was just a bit too ambitious and released way too early… it was basically Witcher 3 + GTA in a cyberpunk setting.

Let’s see if they managed to turn the game around.

Wanted more games with the awesome haptic feedback, triggers and load times. Just didn’t want to go back to a ps4 game.

I completely understand this… The only game that really felt like it was next gen (or current gen) so far was Returnal.

I had a quick look at the Razor Barracuda X… looks great, also the 50h battery is nice. One question though, when you plug the dongle into the front USB-C port of the PS5, does it obscure the USB-B port above?

Lucky you… I got fooled and bought completely into the hype train (my own fault)… and unfortunately it really wasn’t the game I (and everybody else) was expecting.

But it looks like they put in a lot of work and redid the whole perk system, AI, police, etc.

So I’m positively optimistic, but I’m 100% waiting on some reviews before I buy it.
