@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Yes, I have a physical copy of the Fire Fades Edition, so both DLC packs are on the disc. I think there’s going to be a PS5 patch I have to download when I load the game from disc though. The Digital Deluxe edition appears to be basically the same thing except each DLC will need to be downloaded separately by right of the included season pass.
I have most of the FromSoft library on physical disc. Well, not the whole FromSoft library but the pertinent Souls and Souls-adjacent From games. (I’ve never purchased or had interest in any of their Armored Core or other games). I have in my physical collection — DeS, DS1 Remastered, DS2:SotFS, DS3:FFE, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. The only one I’m missing is Bloodborne, which I only own digitally. I keep holding out for a PS5 remaster for Bloodborne and I would buy a physical copy of that to complete my collection. Alas, that day may never come so I might need to try to find a PS4 disc of that one too.
I really like the look of the Dark Souls Trilogy Steelbook (which contains the PS4 discs for DSR, DS2:SotFS, DS3:FFE all in one package). I had an opportunity to pick that up a couple years ago instead of buying DS2 separately. I can’t remember the exact price they were asking but I think it was around $60-80 and I couldn’t justify it when I already owned DS1 and DS3 and could get DS2 a la carte for $20. Now I regret not picking it up because I saw on eBay the trilogy steelbook going for $500! 😅
As far as builds go, I tend to like mixing in at least some magic or miracles or a touch of pyromancy. It’s useful for range attacking and healing. Ever since I did a pure magic build for DeS I’ve been hooked on it. So even if I end up going for a tank build, I’ll want to sprinkle a hybrid of magic, most likely.

Metroid Prime 4 (NS2) [Stopped at the fire temple-y area after I unlocked the ability to explore it]
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy (Steam) [On Day 11 right now. It's fun. I enjoy the gameplay loop. It feels deliberately heavily reminiscent of Danganronpa, but also like its own thing.]
Yakuza 0: Definitive Edition (NS2) [Near the end of Chapter 5. I'd like to get through this and a couple other chapters before the end of January, but we'll see what happens.]
Murder by Numbers (EGS) [Completed the first chapter of this. It's like a fusion of Ace Attorney and Picross. It's pretty neat.]
Corpse Factory (Steam) [I'm about five hours into this now, and still in the first act. It's supposedly a 10 - 15 hour game, so I have to imagine this one won't take me too long to get through once I buckle down and focus on it. It's a pretty great horror story so far, so I'm looking forward to playing more of it.]
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus (EGS) [I've beaten the main game. Just need to do the side stories. Shouldn't take too long.]
Also have a couple of other things going kind of randomly that I'm not counting toward my play metrics.
Next Games
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution (NS) [No reason to delay playing it further now that I have my LRG physical copy on Switch.]
Previous Backlog:
1) Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Yep! Done!
2) Once Upon a Katamari - Done enough, but will return to chip away at its platinum.
3) Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - Yep, also done!
4) Spirit of the North 2 - Nope, not yet.
5) Life is Strange: Double Exposure - Another nope.
6) Star Wars: Outlaws - Back to yep again! Yay!
My plans got shifted around a little. I was originally gonna fill the first few weeks of the year with shorter fare, but ended up needing something a bit stronger to get me going. Which is why I skipped over Spirit of the North 2 and Life is Strange: Double Exposure to immerse myself in Star Wars: Outlaws. Thing is, now that Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown has had its release date set, I feel like it'd be a mistake to start anything huge, 'cause I'd absolutely be putting it on hold come February 18. I was gonna jump into Final Fantasy XV in the next couple days, but it's time to play the short stuff.
Oh, and I also crossed Tekken 3 off my wishlist and then subsequently cleared it, so that's neat.
Current Backlog:
1) Crysis 3 Remastered
2) Spirit of the North 2
3) Life is Strange: Double Exposure
4) Jurassic World: Evolution 2 (specifically, its Chaos Theory mode)
5) Need for Speed Unbound
Wishlist:
1) Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown
2) 007 First Light
3) LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
4) Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
My backlog is so crazy, even my VR backlog (due to controls I tend to play one VR game at a time).
Plus I tried a game trial which I normally avoid but this was a VR game (7th guest) so I have to try it as I’m not comfortable with all VR games (dodgy controls etc...), anyway it unlocked trophies so there is another game I have to buy dammit.
The backlog is so out of control that I’m starting to panic and will have to resort to a schedule to clear it.
And on top of all of that, I think I’m going back to Skyrim PSVR1 in order to mop up the island dlc trophies.
It’s been a while since my last report on the backlog reduction (and expansion) plan. We probably should change the title of this thread since most of us are actually neck deep into PS5 backlog (and still some PS4 games too, in my case 😄)
Previous Planned Games
☑️Baldur’s Gate 3 (Done!)
☑️The Invincible (Done!)
☑️Alan Wake or Silent Hill 2 (SH2 Done! AW in process)
Since it’s been so long since I posted here, there was a few others I knocked out of the backlog recently also, which I’ll not mention for brevity’s sake.
Previous Planned Purchases
Hackers have now ruined this discussion point with the recent PSN profile stealing issues, so I won’t report what I’ve bought recently, but suffice it to say I’ve not bought much and I’ve deviated from previous purchase plans. You’ll just have to wonder. 😅
Suffice it to say I’ve played more games from my backlog than have purchased, which is what I’m happy with.
—————
Current and Next Planned Games
▪️Horizon Forbidden West (in process and a little over halfway, I estimate)
▪️Alan Wake Remastered (in process and a little less than halfway)
▪️God of War Ragnarok (gotta get ready for Laufey!)
Next Planned Purchases
Again, not necessarily going to go into any detail about purchases, but some games I’m excited for include GoW Laufey, TR Legacy of Atlantis, Fable, and Control Resonant as far as unreleased games go. Multiple other games are on my wishlist though which I’m keeping an eye on.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Oh, blimey! It's been a while for me, too! And yes, as much as my brain instantly recognises the topic's title, methinks a more general update is long overdue.
Previous Backlog:
1) Crysis 3 Remastered - Yep! Done!
2) Spirit of the North 2 - Also done, although I regret not sticking around for its platinum.
3) Life is Strange: Double Exposure - And that's three!
4) Jurassic World: Evolution 2 - Done enough!
5) Need for Speed Unbound - Urgh, fell at the last... but I have at least started it.
Managed to get through quite a healthy amount of other stuff in the meantime, including 007 First Light, Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, The Lonely Assassins, Milano's Odd Job Collection, Resident Evil: Director's Cut, Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, Time Crisis, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
Now that summer's here, the heat makes "proper" gaming a challenge, so I'm gonna be chipping away at some of the shorter stuff on my list while I pray for grey skies and single-digit temperatures.
Current Backlog:
1) Astro Bot
2) Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
3) Need for Speed Unbound
4) Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies
5) Resident Evil 2 (original PS1 version)
6) Shenmue II
Wishlist:
1) Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered
2) Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2
3) Shenmue III Enhanced
4) Star Wars: Galactic Racer
