@Thrillho 😂 Now I’ll be singing that song all day. Thanks a lot. 🎶Letter of the day-ay-ay... Clap, clap 🎶
@RogerRoger I do wonder if a Concrete Genie was a Switch exclusive if it would be getting more attention. As you say, maybe a more captive target audience would have elevated its overall public perception. When I went to the store to buy it both times, I asked the employee if they had a copy and they both immediately had a quizzical look and then asked, “For which system do you want it?” followed by a pregnant pause where I held my tongue and gave them time to consider the question and then eventually a — “Oh yeah, it’s a PlayStation exclusive.”
And so as not to come across as a fanboy, I’m sure there are also Switch exclusives that get ignored by the core Switch player base because they are too mature or dark. I’m hard pressed to think of an “M” rated game exclusive on Switch that has achieved public popularity other than Bayonetta 2. Even multiplatform games like Dark Souls have significantly higher sales on PS4 (of course I’m not sure if we calculate the attach rate if it would come out as lopsided per console).
I know I’m stating a belabored point, but I am nervous that eventually the smaller and indie studios will flee from PlayStation if their games don’t sell well on the console, and I’m sure Switch owners feel the same about games like Dark Souls and Witcher 3, hoping they do well enough to keep the mature games coming to the console.

Resident Evil 2 REmake. The evenings are starting to get darker and I wanted a horror game in the build up to Haloween. Not that I getting really into it or anything (the days going out to to a party or a nightclub in fancy dress are long gone), but I've got a few games I've been putting off playing and feels riht to start playing them now.

@JohnnyShoulder@Kidfried Bwahaha! You caught me. Ah well, no matter. That fairy needed to die anyways. If we don’t combat the fairy overpopulation crisis then we’re all doomed.

@RogerRoger Hmm, I was told it would welcome the devil. But then my school did also ban Halloween and later Harry Potter because they felt they promoted the occult. :-/
@RogerRoger Abzu is a nice diversion when you need something different and relaxing. It’s enjoyable in its own way, as long as you know what to expect. What I remember the most about it is the fantastic musical score. Very lovely music in concert with the visuals.

Just bought Death Stranding and have it downloading now, used a certain website to get PSN credit cheaper so managed to get both this and Star Wars Jedi Outcast for the same price as just the former. Speaking of Jedi Outcast, I used to have this back on the Gamecube so I'm pretty pleased to have it again
Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.
@RogerRoger haha I'm sure I'll enjoy both, I'm more than happy to play retro games with little or no enhancements and it'll tide me over until I can get the new game

@RogerRoger Nice, that fancy edition looks great. I didn't even realise that game was releasing today, as I haven't seen any advertisements or much conversation for Star Wars Fallen Order. On the other hand, Pokemon is getting a lot of attention I've seen multiple adverts for it.
@RogerRoger This sort of thing is why I'm glad digital distribution exists. My copy of Pokemon was ready to go at midnight.
I do hope Fallen Order does well, though. It's the one EA game in years that I've actually been half-way interested in. Curious to hear your thoughts on it!

@Kidfried yeah same here, in the past I've found some good deals just before and after black Friday. There is usually the odd good deal here and there, and usually on stuff I already own or not interested in.
@KratosMD I tend to go for whatever is cheaper whether that is physical or digital. For instance I would be surprised you can find Spider-Man cheaper than it currently is on the ps store. Good luck in finding Days Gone for that price, I've not seen it under 30 quid on these shores!

@Kidfried Yeah I feel.the same. The last couple of years Black Friday rolled around and most of the games I wanted I got already through out the year during sales, especially like the E3 sales places like Amazon tend to do. I occasionally find a good deal on Black Friday/Cyber Monday but not like I use to at least when it comes to gaming.

Yeah, I’m laying low for Black week right now. My backlog is big enough and I’d rather purchase 2 or 3 new releases like Death Stranding, Jedi Fallen Order, or Outer Worlds next. I’ll see if any of those go on sale, but I don’t think so. In about 4 months, things get really hairy again with FF7R and then Cyberpunk, so I’m trying to pace myself.
