Djgb13 2,338 Posted December 6, 2022 Haven’t had much time this year for too many games but I did grab the ones that were in the conversation for best game of the year. Elden Ring was extremely good (haven’t beaten it yet). Got the game Stray and that was a surprise hit. Looking to get God of War Ragnarok as well as Callisto Protocol. Heard Callisto Protocol was banned in Japan for being too violent and gory so it’s definitely peaked my interest. GoW looks amazing and the reviews have been extremely positive. Any of you guys played the new GoW or Callisto Protocol? If I don’t buy them myself in the next week or two I’ll just see if my wife’s brother can’t just get me one for Christmas since it’s less than $100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,067 Posted December 6, 2022 I'm just about finished with GoW. Amazing game that didn't disappoint. I pre-ordered Callisto Protocol and I have it loaded/updated and ready to go once I wrap up GoW. Both on PS5, btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m debating on if I want GoW or Callisto Protocol first. Both gameplays look amazing. I loved Dead Space and the creators for Callisto Protocol is the same so my question expectations are pretty high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of Dead Space, there is a remake in the works. Edit: looks like remake is coming out end of January. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space_(2023_video_game) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep unfortunately so Wish they’d bring the next installment out cause I’ve beaten every single game in the franchise. Absolutely love it. I remember when MTV was doing a special on it and had gamers going head to head for prizes. First prize was Sh1tty cause it was just an autographed copy of the very first game. Second place was a trip to the launch with concerts and passes all throughout E3. Watched it one morning after I went to early morning running and went to shower at my exs dorm (and smash my gf at the time). Watched it that morning in her dorm room while she went to class.

DonS 3,067 Posted December 8, 2022 Started playing The Callisto Protocol yesterday... Atmosphere with lighting / sound design is awesome. Kill and death animations are brutally fun. Accidentally dying can be rewarding cause you never know what it will look like. The melee dodge/block mechanics took a little while to get used to, but is OK once you get the hang of it.

DonS 3,067 Posted December 9, 2022 One more comment regarding The Callisto Protocol... I really like how there is no map, collectibles to gather/shoot, on-screen overlay to indicate health/energy/ammo, or XP accrual. Makes the game much more immersive.

This game is straight out of an 80's arcade and is a blast to play with the kids. Absolutely one of the best games of the last ~10 years. The downfall is it is short, but they priced that in.

I played through balders gate 1/2 and shadows of amn around ~5 years ago. That is quite the commitment in time to finish that game. As for BG3 it is still a few years out, it is in prerelease, however I think they cap you at level 4. Where as level 5 is where you get the good spell/abilities, aka fireball.
