I hate both of you. I just ask for one other DS or BB or Nioh fan on here and I've got NOTHING.

I know there are more masochists! When I said Ghost was hard, I know I told at least 2 or 3 of you that you suck (read: are better than me) because you thought it was easy compared to x.

Yoo btw, Dark Souls 3 is currently 75% off on the PSN at $15. I'm buying it for the third time since I can only play digital now.

Bloodborne was my first entry into the genre, but this was the game I liked the most early on. It's as accessible as the SoulsBorneNioh genre can be. I finished it and didn't have a super frustrating time, but still had the elation with every win.

If you want to dive in DS3 at $15 is an insanely good deal.

If Sony ports Bloodborne to PC, like they did for Horizon Zero Dawn, I'll play it. I just feel way too late to the party on DS; they'll likely rot in my backlog forever.

This will sound absolutely pathetic and insane, but I never played a single Nintendo exclusive, meaning I never played a single Zelda. Which Zelda that I could emulate would you recommend? Someone on youtube recommended Link to the past.

Read on Twitter


I’m ok with it. Got a lot of games to play currently and I’m ok waiting a bit longer.

Yep, fine with me too. And I wouldn't be surprised if on the 18th they do something like 'it's dropping in 2 weeks!'...which would be 9/1. Or thereabouts.

Anyone have thoughts on HDMI 2.1 for next gen consoles?

Also, TCL partnered with THX to create a “certified gaming” tv.

I’m in the market for a new tv this fall as my current main room tv is 8 years old.

Pre-ordered the new Marvel game mainly due to the beta being this weekend. Pretty pumped about it.

Fall Guys is **** great and if you have PSPlus, you're doing yourself a disservice by not at least trying it.

Getting big Fat Princess vibes from what I've seen. I'm in, gonna DL now.

ETA: It's really fun, but unless you have PS+, don't pick it up. You're gonna be constantly kicked out for server issues.

New patch for Last Epoch today, and there's enough ARPG fans here that I wanted to give it a shout-out.

It's in early access and is probably a year away from full release, maybe more with COVID delays, but it's already in such a good state. I've played about 50h the past 3-4 months and there is a great base they're building off of. The story is terrible and the graphics are playing catch-up, but the gameplay is wonderful with lots of viable builds - with new skills each patch - and there's just great new stuff each patch. Really good devs behind this one and I'm excited to see where it ends up, not to mention excited to play it in the meantime.

PC and Mac. Happy to answer any questions if anyone is curious about the game.

Typical launch day server issues. I've played a fair share today already. REALLY fun.

Not sure how much lasting power it'll have though. Devs need to create more maps... and the ones with the "tails" are annoying as hell to me.

I'm out of town at the moment but I'm so excited to give it a try. Looks like some great stupid fun.

Avengers is really sounding pretty lackluster from what I have seen thus far. Those that have played it - impressions?

For those who play WZ, the season 5 update is good so far. Opening up stadium made it chaos there and it’s so fun to drop in. The train is a nice touch too and the new weapons are a welcomed change as are the zip lines up tail buildings. Haven’t had a chance to play the mini royales yet but will.

One thing I’m most pleased with is no more damn snipers in the gulag.

I gotta give them credit for perfecting BR in my opinion.

Game sounds pretty bad. Like Anthem level bad.

Was hoping they'd surprise me but that game has looked bad every time I've seen anything about it. Having said that, I'm someone that still enjoys games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance for what it is sooooo yeah.
