Nope, you pretty much have all the games out there.

Loved the originals. I need to play this. Check out the Dead Space remake too as I'm sure you'd like that

Got that on release! Finished in like a few days. Downloaded Calisto Protocol on my ps5 since it's on ps plus but so many games to play, i'm not sure when i'll get around to it.

And yeah, AW2 is a whole different level. Like... other horror-ish games are going to have a hard time living up to the standards it set.

We're about half way into this current gen and I feel like there's only a handful of truly great games. Was going to by the PS5 on Black friday specifically to play GoW and Spiderman 2 but outside of those two games, nothing really jumps out as a must play. Kind of makes a PS5 not quite worth it for me.

Ghost of Tsushima. It’s on PS+
It’s an experience.

If this is your first PlayStation, check out of both Last of Us and the Uncharted games. Great exclusives.

Ghost of Tsushima is probably my favourite or at worst top 5 PS games I've played. Amazing visuals even on the OG PS4, cool story, cool gameplay and most importantly, allows me to play the style I want to play.

Got the plat trophy on my ps4 and always want to go back and play it again on ps5. Maybe in the Kurasawa mode.

I don't, but if you like baseball games you should check out supermega baseball 3. It's like an arcady version of OOTP. You can also design your own jerseys and logos.

Heres a few I did.

https://ibb.co/pnB2xDt - Phoenix Firebirds

https://ibb.co/4N2w2B3 - Sapsuckers (a made up team i came up with)

https://ibb.co/25wsBh4 - The 9's (another team I made up)

https://ibb.co/1J1sRXy - 2001 Dbacks


they only give you a few hundred shapes, generic logos, and patterns so you really have to get creative to try and convey what your going for. The Firebirds logo is a bunch of crazy **** but it turned out well. Its a really good game. Online tourneys and stuff too.
I hate this team.

Has anyone tried CyberPunk 2077 after the 2.0 patch as well as the DLC?

I picked it up recently and it's pretty good I must say. The annoying issues when the game initially launched have been mostly fixed so if you were holding off on the game due to bad reviews now might be a good time to pick it up.

I used to play on my phone and loved the game. They didn't have an android app for a couple years so I stopped. Tried picking it back up last year but it was almost too in-depth at that point. Fun baseball sim though

I recently played it a bunch after the 2.0 patch, after buying it at launch and barely even touching it. the current game is quite good and I already put 120+ hours into it since the DLC came out.

wow. I might have to get back into it. Been kind of on the outs the last 6+ months with regards to gaming...nothing has really appealed to me. But I did enjoy Cyberpunk on release for PC as shocking as that may sound. And a lot of people are saying its more stable now so its pretty appealing to maybe try it out again.

The main problem I had was the post game - if I can compare it to Skyrim which I think is arguably the best game of the last 10-15 years, it didn't seem like Cyberpunk had a lot of diversity of things to do going on once the main quest was finished. But that being said I still enjoyed Cyberpunk.

it's not just bug fixes and performance improvements actually. They also revamped the skill trees and itemization to be less complicated, from what I have heard. I didn't have a basis to compare because i didn't really play the game prior to 2.0 but I felt the gameplay and rpg elements quite enjoyable. I have finished basically all the main content and am just dicking around with side quests and just driving around the city.

Picked it up a couple of weeks back when Geforce Now finally had the 3080 rigs in Australia. They've redone the whole skills or perks system (whatever they called it) and dissuaded me from jumping back in because it basically reset what I had. I'll need to find another time to try it again. Maybe when Phantom Liberty is on sale then I'll give it a go again.

Great game though

My kiddo (7 yrs old) is playing Breath of the Wild and I'm enjoying the hell out of it, too.

It's Ocarina of Time on steroids.

I never really got into the Assasins Creed series so I could see how some folks would see it as derivative, and the crafting system / weapons breaking is kind of annoying, but the open world play is terrific, and the the graphics gorgeous for the Switch.

Any other recs?

I used to be into MMO's, but can't justify paying a monthly fee for one anymore

Sooooo many great games have come out in the past 6 months. This year is rough for those with little free time for gaming.

Have you played:

Elden Ring
Sekiro
Demon Souls remake
FF7R
RE4R

I suppose all but one can be played on PS4, if that’s what you were getting at.
