Just finished God Of War. 

Pretty good game. Solid Story, has a good leveling mechanic, the voice acting is really good.

Totally recommend it. If you are looking to play it and are one of those that likes to explore and are an 85% completionist or higher- I recommend bee lining it to the end with minimal exploration and then go freaking hog wild in the New Game+ mode. 

 

Solid, Solid game.

LOVE the God of War games.  The original series on PS3 with the Greek Mythology was fantastic, and the move over to Norse mythology was brilliant.

I've been out of the loop on video games since the PS3 really. I own all the consoles since but did very little gaming due to time constraints. I have invested in a decent gaming computer and bought a loaded hdd with Batocera and games so I can catch up on some titles and do some other retro gaming that isn't as time consuming. It took some setting up but I sure love the Batocera front end and ease of use. Having 60000 games at my disposal is fantastic. Now to find the time.....

Anyone else playing Elden Ring? Wow!

I'm already a Souls fan so I was sold from day one... even then, what an INCREDIBLE game that exceeded my already lofty expectations. Where other open worlds tout how big they are and you can 'go anywhere you see' only to find it boring and empty when you get there... Elden Ring HIDES just how massive it is. The world map just keeps zooming out the more I explore... hidden areas hidden within hidden areas... then you find out there is an underground zone with IT'S OWN map superimposed over the regular world map.... just massive and packed to the brim... no wasted spaces, no boring scenes, just pure gold. Even this many generations of the 'Souls-type' game later I still get the sweaty-palmed exhilaration that comes with finally beating that boss that's been mudholing you for the last hour

Not taking advantage of graphical capabilities by any means, but it certainly looks nice compared to the original on PSP, especially at 60 FPS.

Can't wait to play this (again)!

The full state of play video is about 25 mins. And it is spectacular. 

Can't wait for this to drop in a couple of months.

Maybe the most photorealistic graphics ever.

FFVXI demo for PS5 dropped yesterday. Pretty large file and your progress can be saved for when the game launches next week.

Highly recommended! And it looks beautiful.

Anyone else pick this up yet?

What a fantastic game. So beautifully polished and addictive.

If there's a reason to own a PS5, FFXVI is it.

Haven't played a FF game since VII, and this one hooked me.

The tech in GTA 6 is insane,   I can't wait until they have gameplay footage to see if the city will have that many people walking around and the overall detail of everything.
