Just finished latest final fantasy xvi

 

my first and last final fantasy- I love some rpgs and I love action adventure- so I thought this would be amazing after the demo

 

no - 80+ hours wasted at premium full price game and I am not a convert - I will stick with new game or older brands I like. FF is not one of them

 

It never really got the action rpg right and the side quests. ###### they are so boring.

fighting is either too easy with certain accessories or too hard to keep track on

 

seriously it is only epic in the major boss battles and everything else is just a chore

 

i through because it is such a long running franchise I will try this and the older games remakes…

 

no. God no. Not for me.

Battlefield 2042... i know, I know.

Nothing wrong with this. The game has come along significant way since release. I play it with my buddies every week but we are slowly moving to battlebit cause its faster and so much fun. They took cod fastness/movement and battlefield ideology and put it in a game. If you haven't looked into it, you should.

I haven't grabbed it yet, but I've been following it for a while now as it exploded in userbase. Looks fantastic!

Shadow of the Colossus on PS5 and it's fecking pissing me off on the final boss, nearly get it then miss time my jump and I'm now back at square one!

Finally did it this morning without throwing the Dualsense at the TV, I won't be attempting Platinum on this game.

Giving Returnal another go, I gave up before because I couldn't handle that when I die I start at the beginning again, so this time Im just taking it as it goes to see if I get the hang of this awesome game.

I just finished F.I.S.T, was looking for a small medroidvania type game to pass the time before I jump head first into StarField later.   I also wanted to jump back into some Halo Infinite MP to see all the new maps and stuff they've been adding this season, but that hasn't worked out due to this crazy schedule I'm stuck with every summer.

Son, I am disappoint

i want to jump into the gate 3 on ps5

but it does seem too much into stuff, just like Elden Ring was for me

 

except one is hardcore fighting and another one seem all about weird sxx things from the videos I have seen

I'm soooooo close to finishing the Dead Space remake I can almost taste it but I just made the mistake of putting a couple of hours into Starfield....

The initial reviews scared me but now I'm about 90 minutes in I can already tell this game is going to OWN me for ages and ages!!!

Goodbye what little social life I had!!

Currently on my way to Platinum with Uncharted 3 remaster on PS5, after this all the uncharted games will be platinum, I find I get far more value from games if I enjoy them enough to chase that trophy and it saves me loads of money especially if it's part of PS+ Extra.

IMO, one of the best series made.

And Uncharted 3 is top! 
 

even though I loved 2 and 4

first uncharted I only learned to appreciate after playing 2 and 3 and coming back, wanting more uncharted .

Playing Assassin Creed Mirage

 

Its Getting bombed by 1 star reviews for no reason

 

i I love the gameplays and sure combat is not the best but damn it has stuff that I used to love about those games before 

 

 

 

solid 8 out of 10 for me (and I am clearly biased )

after first 3 it was disappointing for me and while I love some rpg elements - most games I did not like

 

this is back to past - which is cool with me

Loving uncharted 3 ATM, I'm at the stage where I crashed in the desert and now at some ruins getting my bollocks shot off, I'm playing on Crushing for the Platinum.

I'll be shocked if Naughty Dog don't have another uncharted in the pipeline as we need it.

      It's amazing that anyone still uses this bloated trash.

      @Sayan...I have defended you at various points as I hope you know. This headline however is utter trash...shame on you sir!
    • An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along

      An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.

      Gotenks98 is right... Outlook (new) is absolute trash. Doesn't Mozilla have an Enterprise Version of Firebird?
