Just finished The Last of Us 2.

One of the best games I've ever played. It lacks the intricate story-telling from the first game, but makes up for it in the environment design, insane graphics and fantastic soundtrack.

Not sure what to move on to next. What's everyone else playing right now?

muffMan.Have control in my library but never played. Sounds like I got to check it out now.

All the Batman games are goated, it’s a shame they went to shit after Gotham knights


Control is a blast, the setting is one of my all time favorites in a videogame.

I played through Gotham Knights, it had some good things going for it, and there's the bones of a good game inside of it. But the weight of all the live service garbage is too much and the rest of the game really suffered

Been playing some BF2042. Not terrible. I just wish players weren't so 30iq.

Finally done with my RL break as well and it's so nice to come back fresh. I swear I play 10x better after not playing for a couple months

Wolfenstein 2 is so sick, one of those sequels that straight up just makes the same game but better instead of changing the game

Had zero clue about wolfenstein and played the first two when I saw them on PlayStation plus

Do you have a monitor that is more than 60hz?

TBH i think the consoles will be the best (and fastest) way to play GTA6, i imagine it wont come out on PC for at least 6 months after release.

That being said, you're gonna spend $2k on a desktop setup to get a better experience than a console.

I prefer pc but both of mine are not good enough to run new games. I'll get the ps5 because it will be way cheaper than getting completely new pc.

money isn't really an issue. I have just wanted a gaming computer for a while now and havn't pulled the trigger because I havn't had the game i really wanted. i've been playing Xbox on and off but i'll never enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the PC.

I'm sure i'll have changed my mind 10 times before it comes out

if by that you mean games that are only on pc and not console, that's a very short list. Of them, satisfactory is by far my favorite

Damn dude hogwarts legacy is fun as fuck.
