Red Dead Redemption
Doom: Eternal
Beyond Good and Evil

Disney Speedstorm added a TON of content so I've been doing that a lot.

Disney Dreamlight Valley released a new Realm, an Inside Out 2 event, and a new Starpath. I finish the Inside Out 2 event, working on Starpath, then realm, and I haven't even finished the not-time-locked content they added last update

I'm very close to finishing Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.

Added Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn to wishlist.

I hate those zurks.

IYKYK

I’m not really playing anything right now. I’ve been firing up Watch_Dogs 2 for a few minutes a day just to goof around and get some Rewards points, and I’ll probably go for the last few online achievements one of these days.

I want to whittle down my movie backlog before starting another game. Next up will probably be Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, although Persona 5 Strikers is in the running too, and there’s an outside possibility of grabbing something on sale. (Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Stellar Blade, Gravity Circuit, and, for some reason, Forspoken keep calling to me.)

I don’t plan on getting any new-new games until at least August and more likely September. But heck, Rebirth alone might keep me busy till then.

Wish it was a bit longer.

... hated the rewire puzzles . Will not try the 1Hour speed run achievement.

Here we go!

I've been playing a new farming game called Sunnyside. It's kind of like a mix of Persona and a farming game. I'm taking a break from it. It was just released and it should have been early access and not a full release. It's really buggy. I'm going to wait awhile until they update it and fix some of the problems.

Sheepy a Short Adventure on Steam (Free)

A very quick game.

I think I’m schizophrenic bc I can not for the life of me to stick to one game. I literally want to play so much, but I want to finish something and then move on but nothing is wholly grabbing me. I know it’s me.

Recently Finished:
Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (PS5)

Currently Playing:
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch)
Lifeless Moon (PS5)

Curious what made the bot use a pic of Dawntrail for the post since I don't think anyone here other than myself even plays 14. But that's my answer. Pretty much all gaming time is for Dawntrail at the moment. The backlog is on hold for now.

The bot posted the thread… but the thread was created by a person.

It’s voodoo!

Clearly the bot is showing favoritism towards Noonan, which is total bullshit.

You mean to tell me DVDTalk doesn't have its own AI model to come up with these posts by now? I am shocked. Flabbergasted, even.

We should be so lucky. 😉

It seemed like the most noteworthy new release for July, so that's the image I went with. And I'm just now realizing my little advance thread scheduler thing is choking on special characters. Aargh.

For August, it'll probably be Star Wars Outlaws.

CFB 25 is the biggest release this month, that thing is going to be a juggernaut. People are buying consoles just for it.

Oh, geez, that's what I get for referencing a European gaming site for a list of this month's releases. Heck, I'll just go ahead and change that now.

CFB will definitely be the biggest US release of the month, but DawnTrail/FF14 is far larger, globally.
