Topic: Welcome/Introduction Thread

@Jackthelad93 @Pacific ahh new blood and just when we needed it! You’ve joined at a bit of a strange time guys, the forum has been very quiet of late and we recently lost a few regulars too (long story)… but welcome and hope you have a great time here with some good chat.

@Jackthelad93 @Pacific
Hello to you both and welcome.
Make yourselves at home and look forward to reading your future thoughts and comments.

@Pacific yeah I imagined he was probably about right in his opinion, hopefully he’ll make a return once he’s had a break. Good to have you though buddy 👊

@Pacific @Jackthelad93 Welcome to the Forum! Hope you enjoy your time here.

I think I would say the PS3 for me. The PS3 was the first time I experienced online multiplayer and I had so many good experiences and played good games during that time. Like Burnout Paradise, Red Faction: Guerrilla and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. So there's a lot of good memories for me from that era.

It's weird because the PS3 is also the only PlayStation console I have had issues with in terms of two of them breaking on me. 😅

@Jackthelad93 @Pacific

Hello, everyone! I recently made the decision to buy a good used PS4 by the end of the year, since there are some games on it that I want to play and I think that at $550, the PS5 is a bit too expensive for me, especially since I also want to get a Switch 2 in the near future.

I've had a Nintendo Life account for several months (big Nintendo fan, btw) after lurking there for over two years. Have never lurked here, but I thought I'd join after deciding to get my own Playstation, and this is my first comment on Push Square. None of my family members at our house have ever had a Playstation before, actually 🤣 (Our family has predominantly been Nintendo gamers, and rather casual ones at that, except for me, who has started to become a lot more of a hardcore gamer in recent years).

As for my interests, I really like anime, manga, and Japanese video games, particularly JRPGs (I'm a massive otaku, btw). I can't wait to play some Neptunia games on my PS4.

@ShieldHero hey buddy, welcome to the community. Hope that the trusty PS4 lives up to and maybe even exceeds your expectations. Controversial take… but the PS4 is my favourite PlayStation generation and there are some brilliant games for it.

@ShieldHero Welcome! I’m always a little jealous of people coming to PlayStation for the first time as there’s such an amazing back catalogue to work through, especially with the higher tiers of PS+ and the digital library that comes with those.

@ShieldHero
Hello, hello, hello.
I also joined here. 😊

@Anti-Matter you’ve been here 😏

@ShieldHero Welcome! As others have said, the PS4 is a treasure trove of great games, so I hope you enjoy it.

I’m not an expert on JRPGs, and also not perfectly familiar with what’s already available on Nintendo platforms, but I know there’s a few JRPGs or anime styled games that are on PS4 and not Switch. Of course the first that comes to mind is Final Fantasy VII Remake, and I know it’s coming to Switch soon, but if you wanted a head start you can play it on your PS4 and it’s great. One of my favorite anime-type Japanese games is NieR Automata, which is on Switch, but it’s prequel remake NieR Replicant is not, I don’t think. I’ve not played it yet but it’s worth a look for you.

A few others that come to mind that aren’t on Nintendo: Metaphor: ReFantazio, Tales of Arise (and Berseria and Zestria for that matter), Granblue Fantasy: Relink.

Also, I would suggest checking out Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush 2 if you enjoy the whole anime Japanese storytelling vibe. Really solid PlayStation exclusives.

A lot of the PlayStation library has become Westernized and less Japanese and anime themed, but if you’re open to try them, the PS4 exclusives like the Uncharteds, God of Wars, Horizon Zero Dawns, and The Last of Us’s are fabulous games. Just not sure if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s a large and diverse library to navigate, so reach out if you have questions! 😄

@graymamba, @Thrillho, @Th3solution, @Anti-Matter,

Thanks for the welcome and the suggestions! 🥰 I'll make sure to check out some of those suggestions (particularly the Japanese ones) on the web.

New to the community, mainly playing battlefield 6, call of the wild: the hunter, and D2.

@TheNorthernWolf8 hey dude, welcome and make yourself comfy. Think there are a few regulars on BF6, so you might wanna check out the dedicated thread to see if you fancy joining them for some squad stuff. You might well find the odd person playing the other two you’ve mentioned too.

@TheNorthernWolf8 Welcome!

I’m quite partial to some Battlefield 6. Perhaps we can squad up together some time!

Okay, first things first.

My sincerest apologies to @Ralizah for making such a mess of their review topic. It was a genuine pleasure to work with them on maintaining that directory of users' contributions. There's no excuse for the damage I caused, and I deeply regret it.

Additional apologies to @mookysam and @ralphdibny who, through no faults of their own, got pretty much ghosted on platforms outside of the forum.

I'm also sorry for any concern I may have caused my friends and other members.

Hello, everybody. I used to be Rog.

@Werehog Welcome back, chief.

@Werehog With that many apologies in one post, it can only be one person!

Glad to have you back, the forum is better place for it!

@Werehog I'm going to call you HogerHoger, then. I used to be someone else too; it's all good. Very good to have you back, most of us have been praying for your return!
