He makes a lot of valid points. RE4 remake is an enjoyable game, but it lacks soul. It isn't worthy enough to live up to the most genre defining game in history.

Here are my pick ups from today. I am more into retro gaming than the new stuff atm

absolute and total mog

When the misc came back I thought I would keep up the Xbox fan routine that people here knew me for, at least for a bit. Fact is a lot has changed since bodybuilding.com shut down the OG misc over a year ago. The truth is, I am no longer an Xbox fan. If anyone were to ask me what consoles I would recommend today, my answer would simply be PS5 Pro and Switch 2.

So some of you might be asking "how could this happen?" Well, Microsoft going full retard with Xbox is what happened. Me being a fan of Xbox back in the day was never an act, I was genuinely a fan of the platform and the games they were producing. I had my reasons and I simply stuck by my genuine thoughts and feelings regardless of how much hate that might have attracted. But that was then and this is now. Now, my Series X is a console where I only have a handful of games installed that could be considered AAA Xbox games. Most of my installed library, well that's become mostly AA games, older games that have been FPS boosted, and 360 classics. My PS5 Pro is now by far my primary console and where I buy all my games this gen if I can.

I just can't standby and support Microsoft or Xbox anymore. Windows 11 has been a disaster and my only Windows PC's now are running Windows 10. My current main desktop PC is a Mac Mini I bought last year. I used to be a mac guy back in the day but turned away from them for about the past decade, only to come back because I now consider Mac OS to be the vastly superior option. I have heard a saying that there's no bigger haters than people who used to be the biggest fans and that seems to be true because I honestly have a fuck Microsoft and Xbox attitude these days.

Everything they are doing with their pricing, hardware, services, and software lately has shown off how bad their leadership is right now. They used to make games that genuinely appealed to me, back when the PS4 was known for it's cinematic action games and walking simulators Xbox was pumping out numerous Forza games that genuinely appealed to my interests. Now, Forza Motorsport is dead due to how badly they fucked up the latest one, and Turn 10 isn't even recognizable anymore. In fact just about all of their development studios feel ruined by this point, and the games Microsoft has been producing lately have been failing to appeal to me at all.

I think Forza Horizon 6 is the one and only Xbox game I can give a shit about since the old misc closed and I am not even hyped about it, and I don't even think I will buy this one on Xbox when it releases. My plan is to wait for it to release on PS5 and buy it there. No doubt Sony isn't perfect, I have my complaints with them, but overall they are looking fantastic when I compare the two right now. Things are so bad over at Xbox that I not only downgraded my Xbox Game Pass to the basic entry level "Core" subscription after their latest price hikes, but that is about to expire and I am just going to let it expire, sticking to PS+ Essential and NSO Expansion for my only gaming subscriptions going forward.

So there you have it. Times change and people change, and that is definitely true for me when it comes to the gaming scene. I know when it comes to many of the regulars around here we have had our disagreements, even hated each other at times, but I consider that water under the bridge. I have moved on, and I would like to spend my time here being genuine, and I hope we can share our passion for video games together getting along. Lets bring this community back and make it better than ever.

Been heavily playing Arc Raiders but want something new to play

I don't keep up with markets but I know ps5 had a price increase. I have the launch version with disc drive and 1 controller.

Went in with absolutely shit tier expectations of them showing anything worthwhile apart from all gaas, but I'm pleasantly surprised. A lot of good looking games and surprises on there.


Super excited for Kena pt 2 which looks amazing. MGS 4 finally getting released from PS3 Prison. God of War trilogy remake is a dream come true, hopefully which is more in line with the older games and not an over the shoulder view. Just a lot of cool stuff and new surprises.


I'm also surprised at how good most of the games looked. It seems like we've finally turned the corner and this gen is starting to show more graphical prowess as well.



Hope to god some of those exclusives are day one pc tho lol. Give me god of war remakes on day one pc istg.

I used to have gaming sites I would regularly go to but I lost interest in them over the years. For news and reviews it's been Youtube and Steam for me for the most part.

Holy fuck what an incredible game. Truly an honor to have the pleasure to experience such a masterpiece.

It’s currently the highest rated game of all time on Metacritic

Playing this game made me come to the realization that out of all the genres of games I play, I have to give it to Resident Evil for being my favorite games of all time. I used to give it to Zelda, but RE games have so many aspects to them, great story, gameplay, horror and suspenseful moments, puzzles and problem solving etc. if you have never played one of these, you can make this one your first if you want. Brb, going to replay RE4 remake, Village, RE2 remake then Requiem again.

Me and my group are pretty much addicted to this shit and we've played quite a few over the years on steam and have a ton of fun. Of course the only downside is that sometimes playing full priced or aaa games like BF is a lot harder because of the price and most of em would rather get some cheapo games where we can just play and have some fun for a bit.

Here's some of the best games we've played recently/throughout the years

Legit, if you have a group of friends you need to stop playing games like Call of duty / battlefield / diablos / borderlands etc and try out some of these gems. The multiplayer scene on PC especially with these random friendslop games provide a ton of fun.

Crazy. I feel like live service games are officially cooked now

Warlock. It's like a necro + druid + paladin put together

Only a quarter of the way thru act 1 for now but so far it's fun as hell srs

The way he holds his weapon is cool as fuark. Also just found a new item "old book". Instead of a shield u hold a book. It's sick as fuark

Actually played thru without checking my phone 348234 times

It also just dropped on Steam so i'm playing on steam deck. Wish I had a PC to play it properly but it's still fun

giga mogged

Sony has been talking about delaying the PS6, Microsoft is likely to delay their next gen console as well, and even Steam has been seemingly delaying their upcoming console due to the RAM situation.

Personally I think it's a good thing. It seems like hardly anybody was wanting consoles to rush into a next gen relatively soon because this gen took so long to really takeoff and go anywhere. That and the PS5 Pro is still a relatively new console and more than capable of running the latest games well. To top it off there just hasn't been any real hardware revolutions or major advancements to desire over what we already got.

What are your thoughts on the situation?

Two decade old game that should be free with NSO. And sad thing is people are actually gonna buy this shit. Modern gaming is a joke, just pirate EVERYTHING.

Lmao hard to imagine being an adult with a choice, and still letting these subscription boxes rape my pockets. Couldn't be me
