Social 🎮 Video Games

Yeah, I've heard people who started with Valhalla absolutely loved it. But if you are a person that had played Origins and Odyssey previously it just felt like a drag. The world was way less interesting than Greece too. I love base building and a found that side of it really disappointing too.

It is taking so long to release games now, I pine for the days of lesser graphics, but regular releases of quality games. I've found the PS5 a damp squib in that regard. Most of my games come from Steam on PC now. It is so annoying that PS lost the rights to Fallout too. (great TV series too for those who haven't seen it).

I found Hogwarts pretty fun Bangbros. Mostly filler - I'm a completionist and that all got quite repetitive, but the quests were pretty cool and varied.

Atm I am using what little time I have to play Baldur's Gate 3, which has lasted me a few months so far. I love how faithful the gameplay is to the originals, which were some of my favourite games growing up.

Has anyone played Dragon's Dogma II? I was thinking of buying that next.

Yeah games take so long to come out now that if you enjoy one it’s like 5 years before the next instalment where the used to be 1-2 years. Problem I find with that is I go through a few drought periods where nothing interests me then you may get 3 titles come out at the same time.
I find the PS subscription service pretty good to try a few games I may not have otherwise bought

I’ve considered getting that is it worth it?
I’ve actually enjoyed some of the ‘retro’ remasters lately like Alex Kidd, the new streets of rage etc.

I paid $90 so a bit pricey but $50 or less for sure, first chapter is slow to allow for training and it has puzzles along normal game play and boss fights.

Wont make your top 10 but wont be bottom 10 either

I appreciated the animation bro

Can somebody do a remake if road rash already!

Not sure if anyone else is keen on the game, but I have EA College Football 25 downloading at home, ready for me to play well into the night lol

Have been hitting up the team builder while I am at work (Not the best look when there was the gaming addiction thread the other day hahaha):


Mostly sharing because I thought it was cool considering Vegas next year, but if anyone is going to be playing this game and wants to download it, I could share it whenever the team builder update comes out

A few weeks ago after leaving the kids on holiday and having to drive the wife back we went out and had a look at TVs. I also took the chance to get a PS5 at the same time.

It was funny as my youngest gets funny while away. I kept checking in as I was getting busy during the day. He found the reason why when he got home. Mind you he thought his mother brought a new TV and a PS5 for me. I told her that was unlikely as your mother knows I'm an addict.

It was a bit of a relief financially not buying new games over the last generation and getting cheap second hand games for the PS3 for my kids.

So far I've got

Tony Hawk 1 and 2
UFC 5
Fire Pro Wrestling World
Lego Avengers 2
Lego Ninjago
Rugby 22
Modern Warfare 1 (remastered)
Modern Warfare 2 (remastered)
Batman Return to Arkham (Contains the first 3)

The last 3 are still to download.

Can see why people complain about add-ons and paying extra after the fact. I've brought a few packs for the UFC and wanted to do the Promoter in Fire Pro.

The main reason for the PS5 was for WWE 2k23. I was about to buy it but saw the last two were released early in the year. So I held off and we are now getting announcements for it. The last one I got was 2K14 which celebrated the history of Wrestlemania. Looks like I will be getting the follow up 10 years later. Discovering casino games at https://kiwislot.com/ has been a thrilling journey! The platform offers an impressive variety of games, seamless navigation, and top-notch security. Winning has never been this fun and secure. I've enjoyed exploring new games, and the bonuses keep the excitement alive. Highly recommend KiwiSlot for anyone looking to elevate their gaming experience!

Nowadays explore UFC 5

What I love about video games is that there's something for everyone.

Never got into American football video games (ironic seeing as I love watching the NFL), but NHL and Tony Hawk's games made up a significant part of my childhood.
