@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, I think Y5 is from 2012 from what the opening said. The racing in this game is a bit weird and tacked on and makes up one of those really long side stories that I've spent hours on so have forgotten what little story has happened.
I've always tried to clear all sub stories as they appear (most don't disappear as you progress in the game but one or two sometimes do) which means you get periods where you can play for an entire weekend and not touch the main story. While I love all that content, it is one flaw of the series as the momentum of the main (and interesting!) story gets lost a bit but I don't want to risk losing a sub story and you often get abilities etc from them that help in the main story.
It sound like that's the problem @Th3solution had too!
@Thrillho Yes, that’s pretty much what happened. I wanted to see each side story and activity because they were so entertaining, but it caused a bit of a problem with momentum. The Real Estate game is where I hit my wall. It was fun but not as fun as the other content, yet I felt obliged to pour significant time into it, which eventually burned me out. Couple that with the rapid release of games in the series (Y6, YK2, Y3-5 bundle, and Y:LaD all released with a couple years) which overloaded my capacity to get into the series. With each game being a huge time sink, I gave up trying to get through Y0. Foolish, I know. Maybe I’ll bring it out eventually again because there was a lot to enjoy about it.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy 😂 I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I knew you’d like the Michael Jackson and Stephen Spielberg cameos. I still am amazed they were allowed to put their likeness in the game without being sued by the Spielberg and Jackson families 😅. But it turned into one of the most memorable gaming moments in recent times Majima is one amazing intro, for sure. Apparently he is way more eccentric in Kiwami, but I enjoyed what I saw of him in Zero. The game definitely goes from quirky to outlandish in a flash. The Japanese humor works so well in the game (although there are plenty of eye-rolling moments too.) Have you met Mr. Libido yet? 😅 There is definitely places that this game goes that a Western game would never even try. 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy For some Pocket Racer levels, you’re best off not using the boost as it can send you flying rather than helping! You’ll be pleased to hear that mini game makes a comeback in Kiwami 1 if you get that far
Majima is fantastic though and it must have been weird to see him as he is in Zero if you had played the games on release order. As @Th3solution says, he’s rather different in “latter” games, especially the “Majima Everywhere!” mechanic in Kiwami.
I resumed my second Bloodborne playthrough, I got some Frenzied Coldblood, twin bloodstone shards and Thick Coldblood in the Forbidden Woods, oh, and some Madman's Knowledge in there as well, I made it to the area with all the snake-headed dudes, in the lower echelons of the woods that mirror the higher levels in the level design, I am very impressed with Miyazaki's Lovecraftian design for the game. @Andreoni79 I forget, did you play this? I remember you being very into Lovecraftian game design in the past?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Played it and loved it to death, meaning I died many times just because I was staring at monsters or locations! The Fishing Hamlet is maybe my favourite location, but Hemwick Charnel Lane is great too... and the Forbidden Woods... and Yahar'gul...
@andreoni79 It's true!, so many great locations! - I think we are due an Elden Ring reveal trailer on February 7th ,according to the latest rumors and leaks. Looking forward to it if you believe it may turn out to be true?

@TheBrandedSwordsman This is a bad moment for announcements, but having a release window would be enough for me. BTW, I'd play it on a PS5 since my OG PS4 is creaking and squeaking, but when and where can I find one?
Finished Ni No Kuni II took 45 hours, could of done it quicker but ending up spending alot of time gather new citizens which became a bit of a ball ache to be honest, I started out really enjoying the game, the art style was brilliant but the chapters started to drag and felt very samey and the boss battles weren't very challenging decent overall but wouldn't play it again.
Starting Ratchet & Clank as part of the ps plus collection seen its not a long game so thought I'd get it done before going on to Days Gone
I'm a few hours into the Resident Evil 2 remake, I'm enjoying it, I'm old enough TO have played the ps1 original when it came out and I am enjoying this version a lot!
@Pditty1980 Resident Evil 2 Remake was a real highlight for me this past year. It’s absolutely fantastic. Glad you’re enjoying it.
Reminds me that I need to get on with RE3 Remake.

@Arugula At this point in my life, I’ll happily take a short, tight experience, if it’s high quality. For REmake 2 I really enjoyed the second run almost as much as the first run, and maybe one day I’ll do the opposite A/B runs. But for RE3 I guess there is no alternate route to do for added story
@Pditty1980 Have you played all the RE games? I feel like I need to at least play 1-4 before going on to 7. Also Code Veronica. I know 5&6 aren’t well thought of, but I might try them just to keep up with all the mainline games before going to 7&8.
@Th3solution 7 is like a hard reboot for the series. You could play it at any time and still love it to be honest. I really enjoyed the first person take on the series and it’s one of the best games in the franchise.

I have played the original versions of Resident Evil 1-3 but lost intrest after that, and of those Resident Evil 2 was always my favourate which is why the remake is the first Resident Evil game I have bought in some years.
I bought Resident evil 7 because I heard good things about it and because of its character connections to Resident Evil Village, it also helped that I got free as part of my Ps+ subscription, though I did buy the season pass for 12 euro so I basicly had the gold version
@Pditty1980 You really need to play the remake of the first game. I still consider it to be my favourite game in the series. To me it's the perfect Resident Evil game.
I will, and its really cheap right now, like €4.99
