The mortal Kombat movie gave me an itch to play a series that I haven’t touched since ultimate mk3 on the Super Nintendo. I thought I bought the latest release in an ultimate edition(aka all dlc) but I inadvertently purchased the latest edition -1.
Still Mortal Kombat XL for $5 wasn’t a bad pick up.
I don’t know if the game had gotten harder or if I just suck at it anymore. It certainly doesn’t help the story mode starts you off with 3-5 fights as Johnny cage, who I never liked to play as, then gives you 3-5 fights with characters I’ve never heard of.

Played NHL 21 threes eliminator for the first time today, won on the second try. Must have been pretty lucky. That mode is a pretty good time

Fighting games are more complex than ever.

FFXIV, let’s make this trial version as hard as humanly possible to use!

The only option in the game is “I have an account” so I click it. It had a name I’d generally use already filled in but I don’t know the password. Reset password. Enter both of my email addresses that I use for gaming, and neither one are a known email.
Create an account using one of the email addresses, and now I can’t find where to link my square account with my psn account. YAY!

If it matters, I’m on ps5 trying this, and mobile for the account info.

so FFXIV updated for the PS5 yesterday. I wanted to try the free trial on it to see how much i liked it. Well seems like I can't? Customer support is no help either. I literally played 30 minutes of the trial the first time around... even though the trial is unlimited. Sigh
Ever get this working?

Nope :/. Talked to chat and they said all I could do is create a new PlayStation account :/. Sucks since literally the first like 20 hours is free to play during the trial (with some limits of course)
God forbid they have an account unlink feature.
Oh well. They’re loss.

So I gameshared COD Cold War from a buddy of mine, who bought the ps4 version on release. I’ve played it on ps4 and I thought I have played it on ps5 but I’m not positive. I know I do have it downloaded on my ps5 and it just downloaded the update.
I don’t have an option to play, only purchase. Can I not play the ps4 version on ps5 at all? Are they really going to try to milk another $60 from me when I didn’t pay $60 in the first place(how dare they!)?

What’s Valorant?
Its a new(ish) PC game that’s basically a CounterStrike competitor, but cartoony, with magical powers, and way easier.

Been playing it a lot with my brother over the past few months since it’s the only PC game he’s tried playing and he never bought a new console after Xbox 360.

I like when I’m playing the Show online, and I look at the bat tracker for the other guy.....and on a higher difficulty yet with a smaller bat zone.....and the dude is ALWAYS square to the ball whatever pitch or location. Like I’m f***ing lucky if I get the bat in the general vicinity. I can’t fathom how you’re that accurate short of modding or something. I played a dude who was top 15 in wins on both consoles. I beat him, but he was probably unlucky. As soon as I saw his bat replays, I knew and went to the leaderboards. :laugh:
