General PS5 Stuff

Have to hand it to the brass balls on them for opening the show with a near 5 minute cinematic for a live service game that'll likely be dead by Christmas*.

The rest was so so. Enjoyed playing through Astros Playroom with my son and I imagine we'll do the same with Astro Bot.

*It'll be a success now I've said that.

It'll be for the overlay the same way it is for GoT, you'll probably be able to not use it.

Hmmm. The majority of what they showed looked like more of the same shit in a different skin to me.

Underwhelmed/10

Astrobot was the only thing in that show that interests me.
Everything else was meh, seen it before.

Ms would get absolutely panned for a showing like that.

Still, more astrobot should be fun. And monster hunter is a good time until I fall off the end game.

Almost kind of glad there was barely anything of interest, I've got plenty in my backlog to focus on.

Astrobot and Monster Hunter looked ace. Where the Winds Meet and Ballard of Antara looked interesting (although, the latter being free to play makes me assume it will be shit). Both the PSVR2 games looked really good. Silent Hill 2 was still not great looking, but definitely a better showing than the last time. I never actually played the original, so I'm hoping this turns out good and is an easy way to play the game.

Not a bad selection there, for me. Biggest disappointment was Concord constantly making me think "this world and group of characters would be fun in a single player game". The game itself looked fine, but like numerous other games. I suspect it is something I will never play.

Nothing really, really exciting (Astrobot is close), but an ok selection of stuff.

I tend to just play retro stuff on the switch these days and haven't even switched on my Fifa box (PS5) for ages, but I will get Astrobot and then not play it, like I have done with the last few Mario games.

I really need to pull my finger out and commit blocks of time to gaming. I did it the other week for Animal Well and really enjoyed it. Life is just getting in the way too much.

I was about to post exactly that

*Gets crushed under own pile of shame*

One thing I rather liked about Behemoth was it looked very Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, which is a very good thing, it even has spike wall things to chuck people at, hopefully there's a kick button as well, shame VR can't detect you kicking your furniture when trying to yeet people off cliffs.

I thought that. My unplayed Steam list is probably close to 4 figures.

I need to stop buying any except GoTYs.

I know exactly what you mean. I see something cool, whether it's a game or whatever, and I have to have it.

Lately I've set a rule of leaving it for a week and if I'm still excited about it, then I might get it.

That's a great rule! In my case there's even the possibility I actually forget about it in a week, so job well done! Of course, I also could forget the rule altogether, so... what was I saying?
