i have found a pretty good souls farming area. i can gather about 6000 souls in maybe 4-5 minutes. been able to level up a bunch and plan to level up even more
Top Spin 2k25 is really good. Any tennis fans on here should try it out
i had to turn off crossplay for the online world tour...was getting wrecked by non PS5 players. but it really is fun! i'm thinking about getting tiebreak as well
The most I have trouble with are pc players sometimes. Are you using the dpad for groundstrokes instead of the stick? You can create more accurate angles etc and you can move with it as well.
The Messiah said "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
I had an itch I had to scratch. More Borderlands stuff. So, I fired up the Borderlands game which I played the least -- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I wanted to try Jack, the doppelganger. (I had previously used Athena.) Jack's special skill is called "Expendable Assets." When activated, two digi-Jacks appear and fight alongside the Jack character. They keep fighting for as long as they're "alive" (they can get killed by enemies) or a predetermined time elapses. It's kinda like Zane's skill in Borderlands 3 except Zane's is way cooler.
So, I made it all the way to Concordia. And then I got tired of the game. I was so familiar with everything, I just lost interest. LOL!
Near the end of the Caspian Sea area. I've done all the "side missions" and explored everything there is to explore in the Caspian Sea map. Now, I'm in the middle of the final mission of that area.
I played this game again for the first time in, probably, 5 years. I chose Salvador the Gunzerker. But just like Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, everything was so familiar that it was actually boring. Well, "boring" is not the right word. More like a feeling of "why am I wasting time with this?" I mean, it's a fun game but I've played through it over half a dozen times with different characters (classes) so that whatever progress I made didn't seem all that eventful.
I made it all the way to the gates of Sanctuary and I just said to myself, the hell with this. LOL!

Even after a more than a year, I just can't seem to stop playing BG3. It's so good.
I think, off the top of my head, the longest I've ever stuck to a single game is Horizon Zero Dawn at 4-5 months. But I'm guessing. I always fall prey to the "shiny new toy" syndrome.

Well, you can play Tina Tina's Wonderlands. I plan to play Borderlands 2 again at some point (I always play Maya), but probably in co-op with my brother.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was on sale for $11.99 (I think) one or two sales ago in the PS Store. That was the lowest it had ever been offered. Usually, it's on sale for $14.99. The normal price is $59.99, which is what it is right now.
The two games I'm currently playing -- and which I intend to finish -- are Rage 2 and Metro Exodus. Watch Dogs Legion is on sale ($8.99) so if I can finish one of the two current games, I'll pick it up from the PS Store. I mean, I could just buy it now and download it with the intent to play it later, but I think I'll be too tempted to start playing immediately. I want to finish Rage 2 and Metro Exodus first.

One of the versions is currently $13.99. It does look like the base game was recently $11.99, so I guess you could wait for that price again.

I had a new BG3 run going with my main character as a rogue, and I was about halfway through the game, but I realized I just didn't like playing a rogue. It's all "try to hide, try to sneak attack, try to hide again". In some FPS games this is my preferred gameplay. I like to be the hidden sniper. In something like Far Cry, I feel like the outpost is a puzzle, and I can solve it one headshot at a time. But I find in BG3 that this is boring. There are so many flashier and more exciting ways to play.
I had just finished a playthrough where I was a sorcerer/warlock. Eldritch power flowed through my fingers and I could dominate the battlefield with my many spells, while also cutting enemies up with my magically enhanced swordsmanship. Being a sneaky backstabber just isn't all that fun in comparison.

Done with the Caspian Sea area. Now in the Taiga, which is a rich forest valley filled with wildlife, lakes, and of course, trees. I was part of a two-man recon team to determine if the rail path ahead is passable, among other things. Then, my mini-rail car gets into an accident and ends up in the lake below. I'm rescued but I've lost all my weapons and gear except for my binoculars and a lighter (to burn out cobwebs when I'm exploring LOL).
Then, I find a crossbow. LOL!
What's funny is that as I was exploring, I found a good hammer but it's not part of the game so I don't hold on to it. (Heck, it's not interactive so I can't even grab it!)
