@KratosMD M+R borrowed its tactical combat mechanics from XCOM, but the structure is entirely different. M+R is a linear campaign with an explorable overworld, puzzles, etc. whereas XCOM is primarily about resource management and base building as you play randomized missions (with the exception of a few story missions, of course) to gain access to more resources and manage the terror level worldwide.
On a whim I just decided to buy One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 on the eShop.
I'm not a huge One Piece fan, but I like the main cast well enough, and I figured the game would be a decent enough way to experience the story without having to plow through 100's of episodes (I've only watched the beginning through Arlong Park, and the Davy Back arc through Thriller Bark).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Being gifted a US PSN card last night... I ended up purchasing Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver & Legend Of Dragoon in the PS1 classics range for PS3.
I've already played LoD but lost the account (and it in tow) when my PS3 needed to do an entire system wide reboot/refresh a few years back and I forgot the account password. So very excited to play it again (It's not available on the uk store and I don't quite trust those code sites!)
Soul Reaver on the other hand I haven't played at all aside from a demo that I don't think I really got.
Really looking forward to it. Especially as it was on sale for $3.59 compared to $5.99 (Though ps plus reduces it to only $1.19 or so!)
Good luck with that. Like, a week or two after launch, YW3 went massively out of print in the States. You can't get one for under $80 or so, minimum. Hopefully the stock situation is better in Sweden.
@KratosMD That's funny. Persona Q2 is pretty readily available in the States. Whereas Nintendo massively underprinted YW3 and doesn't seem interested in giving it another print run.
Well, this is why it's a good idea to buy niche games at launch when possible if you want a physical copy, I guess. Although I figured a Nintendo-published title was safe. I guess it's good that I don't actually like that series. My nephew does, though. He was disappointed when he had to go digital for the third game.
Randomly found myself on GOG.com and grabbed a bundle of Tomb Raider games. They had the first three together as a single purchase, then The Last Revelation and Chronicles together, and then Angel of Darkness as a standalone. With a 33% discount, each line item came to a fiver. Fifteen quid for six games? Not too shabby, I reckon.
I'll likely never play them on PC, not properly anyway, but I'm enough of a fan to want them just in case. I clicked around in them once downloaded, and there's already a glitch in the Tomb Raider III menu, plus Chronicles has no "back to Windows" exit option anywhere, meaning you have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete your way out of the game. Angel of Darkness won't play at all on Windows 10, but I gather there are some dedicated fans who've released various patches and fixes, so I'll hunt them down as and when.

@KALofKRYPTON Oh no! Rumbled by @Rudy_Manchego after all these years! And after I hired a 32 year old male voice actor to portray me in a PSN chat party and everything.
Those shoes are hideous, Dad.

@RogerRoger@KALofKRYPTON I mean, that is the problem with the internet these days, people are always hiring voice actors, joining gaming forums, having PSN chats and gaming all while actually being young relatives.
I mean I am technically a 72 yr old grandma.
I love the shoes!
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
