PS2 Backlog Committee

I am going back to work tomorrow until Friday when I am going to have to suffer through Super Mario Galaxy because that's what the 10:year old (who dismissed the first one instantly and has zero connection to Nintendo mind you) really wants to see it suddenly. At least it's really short apparently....

Starfield is coming to PS5 this week?? Man I'm out of the loop.


Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West

Finished: nothing

Added to backlog: nothing

We had family visiting all last week so I didn't get in much time with Horizon. Hope you all had a very happy Easter!

Additionally, I have news: my super sweet, thoughtful and ridiculously hot wife bought me a 32 inch gaming monitor for our bedroom. Therefore, between today and tomorrow I will finally be hooking up the PS5 I got for Father's Day last year! The babies have daycare all next week so I will have TIME ...

Ah, spring break... I remember those. Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Still killing robo-dinos and exploring cool places (yay!) and talking to weirdoes (boo!) in the Forbidden West. Nothing new to report there. However, I did make a significant ga...

Yes, I got up to 89.58% completed in 105:20 for the main game. Whoa. Time will tell if I will be inclined to follow suit. Most of the talking parts in this game really turn me off. Aloy has the corny Marvel thing going on now, and almost everyone she meets is annoying. But the rest is really great....

Slitherfangs are pretty cool. First encounter with one was epic.

I'm sure you plantinumed the game, right? How long did it take?

Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Still moving through Horizon. Got a handful of folks at the base and making good progress. It's a beautiful game, and the combat is first-rate. I've also encountered some cool individuals (Hekarro and Kotallo) to co...

Loving Planet of Lana 2 so far. It doesn't stray too far from the original gameplay-wise, but that's fine by me. These games really feel like 2D spiritual successors of the ICO/SotC/TLG games. They do just as amazing a job at conveying a story using a made-up language that they never bother to tran...

Crimson Desert (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC) - March 19 That one is getting a lot of hype. Any of you guys planning to venture into the Crimson Desert at launch? I'm interested but won't buy until I learn more. Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Rollin...

I found it pretty good overall. They did simplify some things, removed other things, but then also brought parts of the game up to modern day standards. Probably depends what you loved about the original game...because I don't think you're gonna like the retcon at the very end. Dark Ties was also f...
