@LtSarge That was probably my favourite game of last year, hope you enjoy! There’s just so much replay value, I’m still plugging away at that platinum.
@nessisonett@Thrillho Sounds like it might be a good time then! Looking forward to giving it a go.
So the PlayStation Black Friday deals went live a while ago and I saw that an online retailer had Spider-Man Miles Morales on PS4 for €25. It doesn't seem like the game will get significantly cheaper than that considering the first Spider-Man game is still €20 while most other first-party titles are €10 (even The Last of Us Part II is €10, which is crazy!). So I decided to order it now while I could. It's been years since I played the first Spider-Man so I'm interested to see how I'll find Miles Morales.
@JohnnyShoulder Yeah I don't know why Spider-Man is one of the few exceptions that doesn't get discounted to €10 compared to the rest of Sony's first-party titles. But I think it's worth the price seeing as how these are still great games.
So I just made my biggest and most likely last haul of games for Black Friday now. I bought:
Lost Judgement (PS4)
NEO: The World Ends With You (Switch)
Tales of Arise (PS4)
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory (Switch)
For roughly €120 in total, i.e. around €30 for each game, which is pretty good all things considered. But this also means that I basically bought a good chunk of games on my watchlist and now I only have like seven physical games across all systems left that I want to get. That number will obviously change but it's weird seeing it so low as I used to have 30+ games on my watchlist, lol.
Anyway, I'm really happy with these purchases as most of those games are JRPGs that are around 40-50 hours long each. I've been afraid that I wouldn't be able to get Lost Judgment at a decent price since very few stores are selling the game. Tales of Arise and NEO:TWEWY are bonuses since they will most likely get reduced in price even more but I thought I might as well get them now. And finally, I've been wanting to get Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory for a while as I've played through almost all games in the series except for the third one and so I'd love to listen to past tracks and reminisce before tackling the third game.
@nessisonett Appreciate the warning! I did read about the game's story mode a bit, isn't it a retelling of all the games? So wouldn't I just be able to play all the way until the KH3 part and then stop?
@nessisonett Well that sucks. I assume there's a free mode where you can play any of the songs without any of the story, right? I would like to at least play the game a little bit before I tackle KH3.
@LtSarge There’s a free mode but IIRC, you have to clear the song in story mode to unlock the free mode version. I enjoyed my time with the game but yeah, it’s very much a sequel to KH3. Bizarrely I’d say there was too much plot for a rhythm game than it barely being related.
@nessisonett Alright, it sounds to me like I'd be better off holding off on playing the game until I'm done with KH3. Speaking of which, do you know if the Remind DLC for KH3 is worth playing for the story? Like do I need to experience it before playing Melody of Memory or just to keep up with the series' overall story in general? Or can I just skip it?
@nessisonett Well the reason why I asked is because it's actually on sale right now lol. But maybe it's still a bit too expensive. I just don't want to skip it and then find out that I needed to play it before Melody of Memory as well. I really don't like how Square Enix is constantly making it harder and harder for players to experience their games lol.
@LtSarge Yeah, it’s still just a bit too much for me given that it’s a DLC. I didn’t have any issues playing MoM without having played Remind though, I think it might actually be set afterwards?
@nessisonett I just did a quick Google search and apparently, MoM takes place right after Remind, lol. Although I don't know how extensive the story is in Remind, maybe you don't really need to play it before MoM. Well, I can always hope that by the time I've finished up KH3 and want to play Remind that it'll be heavily discounted.
Found myself some stuff from the bargain bin selection of current PS store sales:
Time Crisis - another twin stick shooter from 10 tons.
Islanders Console Edition - chill, simple looking city builder.
Victor Vran - quite well reviewed Diablo-like (not even a real genre?)
Absolute Drift Zen Edition - top down car sliding thingy.
Lumines renastered. Classic (old/dated) puzzle game.
All for the princely sum of just under £13.
...
This is why my backlog never goes away!

@Iver
Yeah I love these indie sales too!
Still got eyes on a few more bargains. Golf Club Wasteland, Exit the Gungeon, Spiritfarer, Void Bastards etc etc. Only problem is when I'll ever get the time to play them all.

@Ralizah Well, it turns out that neither SMT IV nor V is going to be my first SMT game, but instead SMT III Remastered on PS4, lol. I just ordered a copy since it was discounted to €20 and I don't mind playing it on a console at that price. If it works on Vita Remote Play I might play it through that as well. But yeah, I'm rather excited to finally give this series a try after having read all your reviews and impressions about the games.
