The world of Horizon Forbidden West while incredibly dangerous is one of my all time favs. I keep going back to it and just exploring, and swimming around!
The fact that they can't confirm it and are still discussing the sku lineup well before Jan 2028 says all you need to know. It's obviously going to be a GKC on Switch 2 but they clearly want to move away from discs ASAP. I guess the "backlash" hasn't reached Square Enix yet.
Belive it or not I've spent alot time playing Digimon Up on mobile (sacrilegious but I'm a Digimon fan) it's entertaining for what it is. Back on PS5 I went and re-downloaded Foamstars and looked for a match and I found a few! But only on the Japan server 😅 Game is still fun. I've also picked up the FF6 Pixel Remaster and playing thst here and there. Aside from the big game on Sunday thats it.
@KillerIsD34D Genuine question here not trying to start a war: Why sell your collection that you already own and can play on hardware you already have? I get not wanting to support going forward but this policy change doesn't affect what you already have.
I'm kinda on a Horizon kick as I played around in Forbidden West and now went back to HZD Remastered and liked it. But the Square Enix sale got me to purchase Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster so I may try that out later today. I've fallen off of The Adventures of Elliot even though I'm close to the end (28hrs so far)
Hope everyone has a great gaming weekend. Don't let the headlines get you down!
I'll never go to PC. It's more expensive, full of hackers and every other game has serious performance/optimization issues and stutter. The only way PC ends up being cheaper is if you Pirate all your games.
I hopped back in Horizon Forbidden West on a whim and MAN is that game incredible still! I platinumed it years ago but still found a relic in an area I had never been to before. The forced hate for that game was off the charts!
I'm still going to finish the Adventures of Elliot but it is waning a bit.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and don't let the news cycle keep you from enjoying this great hobby!
@twitchtvpat I know, that's kinda my point. No one will ACTUALLY do what would make Sony think about changing this. Thats how we ended up here in the 1st place.
I'm not complaining because I understand how we got here and I'm not going to glaze Physical media like it didn't have its own issues. But it is still sad.
@psmr Awesome! I never played XIII-3 (thats what I call it) but I played and loved XIII and enjoyed XIII-2. I'm still hoping for Remasters on PS5. Enjoy!
I've been playing The Adventures of Elliot and so far I'm enjoying it with roughly 16 hrs counting the demo progress. The dungeon bosses are highlights. Enjoy the weekend all!
@Member_the_game Sadly Nintendo and the industry at large won't see it that way. They will just see that "we got away with it" and try it again when they think things have cooled down enough. Like the Outer Worlds 2.
I'm at the final boss but paused for the onslaught of side quests that popped up. I'm glad they finally are adding 60 fps and photomode. Late but welcomed!
EDIT: I guess its a Sony mandate to stop PS4 ports Cause if Time Stranger is getting a Switch 1 release why not PS4?
@get2sammyb I enjoyed the demo for Elliot but want to wait for reviews to be sure about length and combat depth ect. When does the review embargo lift?
Having nearly burned out on JRPGs after 154hrs and 1 trophy to go before platinuming Octopath Traveler 0 I downloaded Rise of the Tomb Raider from PS Plus to give it go. I still need to fire up Crimson Desert tho.
Have a great weekend everyone, whether you're playing a game or watching a game. 🌐🏆
@Flaming_Kaiser The thing is I bought the Oblivion Remaster months after it dropped when it was on sale for $35 and STILL the memory leak issue wasn't patched out. To this day it's still a problem well after a full year.
@LastNorth_16 Agreed. I'd like to think most actual devs want to respond quickly to issues. I'm assuming it's some management/publisher politics that prevents faster patches of some titles. But I really hope PA was the industry (and gamers) wake up call that it doesn't take 6-18 months to fix bugs.
I just downloaded Crimson Desert's Weekly Patch ( are you taking notes Bethesda?) with new content. It's pathetic that a studio with Bethesda's resources took this long to address this but hey, it's still better than the Oblivion Remaster.
Gamers whined that budget for Spider-man 2 was too big. It had a massive marketing budget. But now gamer are complaining that they aren't spending enough. Yeah that tracks.
Well they learned from Octopath Traveler 0. I have faith this is will be good, and people can FINALLY stop winning about FF going back to turn based combat while ignoring the Octopath series.
@Naughtyottsel92 I feel you but I think that's Sammy's point. It's exhausting because they keep flip flopping their stance on exclusives. XBOX is in a perpetual state of flux.Flux.
They found 2 more lifeboats but the Titanic is still sinking.

I'm trying not to get suckered in by Tales of Berseria Remastered being on sale. In a bit of a gaming rut atm.

Have a good weekend all!

Re: Early Data Suggests Unspectacular Start for Halo on PS5
@LordOfTurnips @twitchtvpat i genuinely thought is was full priced at $70. That actually makes a difference for me.
Re: Early Data Suggests Unspectacular Start for Halo on PS5
$70 for a game that can be finished nin 7hrs with no multiplayer is a hard ask in 2026.

Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger 60fps Patch Out Now on PS5, Adds Photo Mode and More
Glad this finally got added. I'm going to hop back in and finsh some side quest that popped up right before the final boss.
Re: PlayStation to Show More Upcoming PS5 Games at Tokyo Game Show 2026
Hopefully they will have some good announcements that won't be afraid of GTA6 stealing the headlines.
Re: Poll: Are You Considering Leaving PlayStation for PC?

Re: The Elder Scrolls 6 Is Reportedly Still Years Away from Release
Which will come first? The Elder Scrolls 6 or the Oblivion Remastered patch. It's anybody's race atp
Re: Game of the Month: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (June 2026)
I voted for Elliot as I'm 28 hrs in. Its good, but I'm growing tired of it. But I am about to begin the final quest so my opinion may change.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans
I'll say this again: If you want to boycott PS6 for no discs then I hope you boycott GTA6 for no discs. If you're not then ask yourself why.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@twitchtvpat I know, that's kinda my point. No one will ACTUALLY do what would make Sony think about changing this. Thats how we ended up here in the 1st place.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
Well let's see how many boycott the Digital-only GTA 6. That will surely show we prefer physical discs right?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 639
I will be playing The Adventures of Elliot this weekend. I think it will be my 1st platinum of the year. Game on PushSquare Netizens!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 639
@psmr Awesome! I never played XIII-3 (thats what I call it) but I played and loved XIII and enjoyed XIII-2. I'm still hoping for Remasters on PS5. Enjoy!

Re: Poll: How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?
@Oldstalk That honestly sucks. I have been using a US PSN account and paying no more than $70USD for new PS5 titles but I see what you mean.
Re: Poll: How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?
If Mario Kart can sell for $80 no way GTA 6 will ignore that. Thanks Nintendo
Edit: Actually no, this is on the people who bought it.
