The Last of Us is brilliant, just a beautiful game - beautiful graphics, beautiful storyline, gripping gameplay, just a tremendous experience all around. Strongly recommend it to anyone. Anyway I'm a big fan of Bingo. That's why I play bingo online every evening on https://bingo77uk.com/bingo-software/microgaming-bingo-site . There I found my favorite site where I can play. They made a top of all bingo sites where they are detailed described. Moreover, they have an easy and convenient interface for playing. By the way last week I cashed out 50 pounds and it was very easy, without some verifications.

Had to do a double take and confirm this wasn't a spam ad for Out of the Park Baseball 21. Haha

Sup man!? How you been? What the heck are we gonna do about Dynasty?? Lol

haha, I've been lurking lots, posting very rarely. Out of the park baseball is pretty sweet though. Random funny story about it, I made a Canadian league, so all fake players. My team had a back up infielder by the name of Truman Alcock. Greatest imaginary player name ever.

Dynasty will have to adjust, just like everything else.

Life has been pretty good for me. COVID numbers are super low on the East Coast, so other than wearing masks in stores, hasn't really made a huge difference except I am full time working from home now, so that's a bonus for me. How about you?

Out of the park baseball 21 is on sale on steam. The best sports manager simulation game (of any sport) out there. If you want to build a dynasty through trades, free agents and draft, but don't feel like swinging the bat yourself, then this is the game for you. Fully customizable leagues, with details that modern console games only dream of (like a team owner selling the team, so a new owner with new goals and budgets for you to suddenly adjust to).

On sale for $11 on steam for another week or so.

Civ VI on Switch is excellent. I'm amazed how good it is on that tiny screen.

Everyone should go get that Fall Guys game. It's a BLAST. And you can play with your kids or friends or significant other etc. Its like Mario Party .. but different. haha

[Joey]

This is all I've ever wanted ... the STALKER games were some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Super pumped for this.

This is basically my Half-Life 3. Lol I've waited a LONG time for this game.

Spider-Man

[The Great One]

There's not much to do so I finally gave in today. I bought a PS4 and I bought a couple of games. I bought this game called The Last of Us Remastered because I've heard a lot of great things about it. It's only $9.99 btw. I also bought FIFA 20. I wanted to buy God Of War as well but they were out of stock.

I must say though, this game The Last of Us is addicting lol. Any other games like this that I should know of? I don't know what you call it, action/adventure game. Any recommendations?

I heard that the PS5 can play PS4 games. That will be a big hit for consumers looking to upgrade and not lose out on their inventory of old games. Xbox has had downward compatibility for a long time, so always had that edge to them.

Its about time they brought it back. There were a bunch of Sony consoles that had backwards compatibility of some sort. Incorporating it again won't sell me on getting one again though. I'm a tough sell anyway when it comes to gaming, I no longer feel the pull for early adoption on any form of technology anymore. Not sure what happened to me. lol

Do all the accessories shown ship in one box?

I just finished playing Spiderman for PS4. It was excellent, one of the most enjoyable games I played in quite sometime and it sort of looks now like a prelude to Miles' origin story as Spiderman. I'm sure "Spiderman MM" will be excellent. Destruction Allstars looked pretty cool and different. Godfall looked cool. So too did Little Devil Inside. The one that peaked my interest the most was Demon's Souls. The lineup in general looked stronger than last time around and has something for everyone.

I think I'll be a late adopter though. I didn't play as many games this last gen by comparison to my gaming experience on other gens. I have a tonne of games I have yet to get to. I don't even have a flatscreen better than 1080p right now. By the time I get a PS5 I'm sure there will be all sorts of cool bundles on sale. I'm hoping Demon's Souls is multi-gen but if not, meh. I'll play it someday.

Any thoughts on the PS5 and the announced launch library? Pretty solid stuff.

[NoPropsneeded]

No announcement yet but just knowing the game inside/out and considering the pacing on this new one, I'd guess a trilogy.

I'm 31 hours in now and I have just received a warning about the upcoming point of no return. I'm not there yet and I knew I had to be close but it gives you plenty of heads up and then lets you know there are a bunch of new side quests to discovery over the map. Based on what I know of the old game and the pacing of the new game, I wouldn't be shocked if I still had 40-50 hours of content ahead of me. Then there's apparently a hard mode/NG+ with some extra content added in.

Anyway, the game didn't let me down. It almost feels like a JRPG mixed with an action game mixed with an old school beat'em up like Streets of Rage or Double Dragon. There's one area you go through and you need to make your way up a tower. I won't spoil anything but the combat and action is outstanding and with some challenge if you're not trying to grind levels or gear.

I got past the tower part and I thought the game would end there. It's surprisingly long and the combat is satisfying and not too hard or easy. I been cycling through so many games that I haven't been able to finish FFVII. Warzone on PC is bonkers, it's like playing a whole new game - just wished they optimized it better, it caused my CPU to overheat once.

Been playing Spider-Man this week. This one caught me off guard, it is amazing. Wow.

A true Playstation gem. Playstation killed it with the exclusive titles this gen, and we still got two heavy hitters coming out in TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima
