Pacific Drive

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_D ... ideo_game)

Bought this randomly searching out games a few weeks ago, bought it and didn’t realize the release date was 3 weeks out. Played it non stop the last 3 nights. Pretty damn fun game.

I still don’t know how to post a video or photo. So my bad on that

Can't help you there. A gorgeous game (visually and musically), satisfying/smooth combat, and depending on the difficulty setting can be challenging. Suffers from some of the tired/typical open world sandbox tropes, but you definitely get your money's worth especially if you're getting the PS5 Director's Cut.

You guys are old (and cool).

I never played this series but I'm a big fan of 90's Square. Wonder if it holds up?

30 hours in. This had to be incredible when it first came out. Still great today.

Probably the second best PS5 game that I've played, behind God of War: Ragnarok. Very beautiful graphics, surprisingly good since this was developed as a PS4 game.

I highly recommend it as well. I thought setting the dialogue on Japanese with English subtitles improved the experience for me, if you want to try it

I had heard from some corners that Baldur's Gate 3 slows down a bit in the 3rd act, or that by the third act some of the mechanics start to feel old and a bit tired. I'm sort of feeling that now--Act 1 was just so fresh and new and there was so much to learn that I was pumping hours per day into it, and Act II was very challenging but had some thrilling moments that were very satisfying to conquer. Act III also feels different, which is great, I'm glad all three acts aren't same-y, but I don't feel as engaged or eager to play as I did earlier in the game. I may have played 2 hours over the past 2 weeks. Hoping to sink some more time in soon.
