@RogerRoger
I have added more PS4 games to be considered on my purchase list such as :
Monkey King: Hero is Back
The Last Tinker City of Colors
Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams Directors Cut
MAX The Curse of Brotherhood
Legend of Kai
Owlboy
Deemo Reborn
Snoopy's Grand Adventure
Tearaway looks like I will consider on my purchase list.
But these games will be played on my another PS4 machine since I have too many PS4 games on my list while my PS4 Slim storage is getting smaller as I added more PS4 games so I decided to separate my PS4 games into two groups.
Group 1 is for my Top 60 PS4 games.
Group 2 is for Top 61 - 120 PS4 games.
The games on group 2 must be played on another PS4 machine, cannot be played on my first PS4 machine as I have to provide at least 20 - 30 GB empty space to anticipate PS4 updates and my The Sims 4 application data size is getting bigger and bigger from updates (currently 31+ GB) even I didn't play The Sims 4 frequently.
If I can buy another PS4 machine again, I will pick 1TB size since my some of my PS4 games in Group 2 have bigger GB size (15 - 41 GB).

I still unsure to consider external hard disk as they are not really durable as internal hard disk.
The biggest size external hard disk for PS4 I could found was Maxell 512 GB.
I'm afraid the additional 512 GB is still not enough to hold another 60 PS4 games application with assume each game must be not bigger than 8.5 GB, considering some of my PS4 games on Group 2 have bigger GB size (15 - 41 GB) such as Dragon Quest Heroes 1 (24 GB), FF XII TZA (41 GB), Monkey King : Hero Is Back (20+ GB), etc so I need at least 1 TB storage to hold another 60 PS4 games.
Beside, I already have two PS2 machines with different region (PS2 Slim Japan and PS2 Fat USA), four machines of 3DS XL (2 USA machines, 1 Japan machine, 1 PAL machine) so I can have two PS4 machines too with different storage size (1st machine 500 GB, 2nd machine 1TB).
I like to collect interesting stuffs.
@Anti-Matter External hard drives are exactly the same durability as the one you’ll get inside a PS4, and then if you went for an SSD then it would be more durable than the one that comes with the PS4. It’s your money of course though.
@MightyDemon82 I still remember when Kratos turns around in the boat, faces the camera and introduces a sale on packs of Malboro for all children aged up to 12 at your local store. Such a weird moment.
I love how I see actors from video games or hear their voices in other settings and I’m struggling with … “why does that person look familiar?” (Or sound familiar)
Specifically Death Stranding actors have shown up lately — saw Fragile on a big Louis Vuitton promotional board earlier while I was out shopping. And Die-Hardman is the mayor in the new Netflix show Wednesday. I recognized his voice first, because he has a very distinctive voice. Took me a while but it clicked where I knew him from.
I feel silly when I say “I know this guy from somewhere” to my non-gaming friends and all I get is a blank look in return. 😅

@Th3solution I’m more the opposite, where I can’t see Lèa Seydoux in a video game as anything other than Léa Seydoux! When you’ve seen an actor in a lot of stuff, it can be a bit weird seeing their CGI counterpart in a game.
@nessisonett@RogerRoger I think I generally prefer when the in-game character is not modeled directly to look like the voice actor/actress. But I think the trend is moving toward the CGI being a replication of the real world person. Not only did Kojima productions do it with Death Stranding and Insomniac with Miles Morales, but also Remedy likes to do it with their games like Control, and Supermassive (at least I know Until Dawn did), Housemarque’s Returnal modeled Selene after the actress, Respawn’s Cal Kestis is a dead ringer for his voice actor, and Luminous’s_ Forspoken_ has modeled Frey after the upstart Ella Ballinska. So nearly every facet of the industry seems to be moving this way.
And yet some game’s interestingly do hybrid character modeling — so in The Last of Us I&II some of the characters are clearly modeled after their VA (notably Lev, Yara, Marlene) and some are not (Joel, Abby, Jesse). And famously the part of Dina was based on one actress’s appearance but voiced by someone else. Ellie also controversially appeared to be modeled based on Eliot Page without his consent but voiced by Ashley Johnson who of course looks nothing like the Ellie character.
I just think it’s interesting. I prefer a game character to be unique to the game and not necessarily look like the real world actor, but I suspect the mapping and scanning tech now makes it easier to just keep the actor’s appearance intact from the motion capture. I don’t know.
I do wonder if some of the voice performers get offended when the developers don’t want the person’s likeness in the game and choose to make the character look different, whilst other characters look like their counterparts. (In A Plague Tale, they changed the appearance of Amicia but kept Hugo looking like his actor)
@RogerRoger Glad I’m not the only one. It’s like I was saying several days ago about Andy Serkis and how I can’t see him in something without thinking about Gollum in LotR.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Surprised we haven’t had an article about it but Frogwares have been opening up more on how they’ve been trying to still create games while in the middle of a literal warzone.
@Th3solution The modelling of Fatman on del Torro but with someone else’s voice makes it really weird for me when I actually see del Torro now
The most jarring for me was Lance Reddick in HZD as Sylus as his voice was so recognisable. His character modelling was based on him but still looked different enough.
I felt really devastated when I played Youtubers Life 2 PS4 to check the new update installed.
I found my save data got corrupted again when I loaded the file. 😭😭😭
I have been working so hard to get the number 1 Youtuber then after the new update version 1.07 installed, the game became more problematic in handling the loading screen.
Used to be never been like that.
It was really heartbreaking my feeling as I really like this game but the corrupted save data issues from the game really turned off my hype to continue the game.
I don't want to replay again from beginning and I still afraid with corrupted save data issue that might be happened again so I decided to stop playing Youtubers Life 2 completely as the new update ruined the game. 🥺💔
Sigh.... 😢
Just a half day to go tomorrow & then I’m off till the 3rd January. I really need that time off as I’ve been putting in the overtime this year, as me & the wife are looking to finally put down a deposit for a house next year.
I’ve got a lot of things in mind with my time off, but as usual I’ll probably only to get to 1/3 of things I would like to get done.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Lives, Lived, Will Live.
Dies, Died, Will Die.
