Trying to take it easy today, been a very stressful week. Wanna give Foamstars a go again as it's now F2P and I have an urge to jump back into Horizon Forbidden West just for photo mode (already platinumed) but I definitely need to play more Unicorn Overlord.
@CielloArc Yeah kinda crazy they didn't show Super 17 unless they have him grouped differently no General Rildo either but I'm still have SSJ4 is finally confirmed.
@Ralizah Sadly I think you are right. As much as Western gamers (myself included) have pointed to other western gamers for not buying their games, Japanese gamers didn't support Japan Studio with the kind of numbers we have seen them do for other games.
@ShogunRok @Gamingfan4Lyf I think it's time we consider Japan's gaming tastes to just be too unpredictable unless the publisher's name starts with N.
Astrobot is exactly the type of game you would think would sell extremely sell even physically. I hope I'm wrong and next week it's #1 but I'm worried.
@CriticalGames It's always great to hear from developers, Thanks for replying! We're definitely in a crowded release era (2023-2025) but smaller title are my palette cleansers so I'm going to pay special attention to 8-bit Adventures 2! 😃
Game looks really cool but that release window is packed. I wouldn't mind trying it but realistically after I finish Unicorn Overlord, Sparking Zero, DQ3 Remake and Lego Horizon it's probably gonna be March 2025.
I'm going to be catching up on some much needed Sleep after work today. But should the moment present it self ill be continuing Unicorn Overlord. I bought the game and I'm about 25hrs in and it's great!
Hope everyone is having fun this weekend particularly the Astrobot Enjoyers! 😃
@colonelkilgore Nice choices. TFU2 is great but I cant pass up an opportunity to recommend FF 13. It's one of my favs and it really good once you give it a chance.
Welp after getting pretty far into Bloodborne (I beat Micolash) I gave it up for lack of interest. Just wasn't very compelling to play for me 🙈 So I tried the Unicorn Overlord Demo and after 8hrs I bought the full game so I'll be playing that this weekend and until Sparking Zero releases.
@PeakUnagi they did make some improvements to gameplay and added a new mode but the que for anything other than the main game mode is so empty that you can't properly try out the new modes. Hoping for more players in October.
IF I get to play anything at all, I'm close to finishing Bloodborne and I started a Rena playthrough of Star Ocean 2 Remake. I did want to try our Lego Star Wars so I downloaded and installed it but haven't started it yet.
Welp I jumped back into Star Ocean 2 Remake and it's just as good as I remember. Gonna wrap up a Claude playthrough and probably start Rena run right after. But I have to play more Bloodborne too so there is that. Plus it's a long weekend for me so I'll try out the PS Plus games for the month. All after the Olympic closing ceremony can't belive it done already! 🥺
Like everyone else I was hoping for a sequel to The Order 1886. This is really sad but not unexpected. I hope the devs can join some SIE teams cause they are talented for sure.
Welp I'm debating whether to continue in Bloodborne or finish other games like Star Ocean 2 Remake or try the Visions of Mana demo. It's probably just me but I'm finding the Reward part of the Risk/Reward loop is a bit lacking.
I'll also be watching the Olympics. Have a great weekend everyone!
Ender Lilies looks really cool but Lego Star wars is pretty nice too.
I feel this was a mistake on Sony's part to have a massive Lego game on PS Plus mere months before Lego Horizon releases. For me I was gonna by Lego Horizon to play coop with my wife but now I can do that at no extra cost, and will probably be burnt out on Lego games by the time Aloy arrives
This is my most anticipated game of the year. It looks phenomenal. They almost have me contemplating the deluxe version for the 3 days early acces.... ALMOST.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Wins Over PlayStation Fans
$10 for better visuals, new dialogue and dualsense feature at 60 fps is a no-brainer.
Re: Superb Strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord Tops 1 Million Sales
The demo absolutely sold me on this game. Now I'm 45 hrs in and loving it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 547
42 hours into Unicorn Overlord and it's still good. But I'm counting down the days till Sparking Zero!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Re: PS5 Players Choose Performance Mode 75% of the Time
Yup my console is set to performance mode.
Re: PS5 Pro Showcase Set for Tomorrow, Hosted by Mark Cerny
@breakneck Seems short but his PS4 Pro presentation was 18 mins. Geoff Keighley must have given feed to the effect of " Please Wrap it up" 😅

Re: Sony Accused of Signing Secret PS5 Console Exclusivity Agreement with Black Myth: Wukong
Funny how this "report" comes out just after the PS5 Pro "leak" as if to divert attention and counteract it 🤔
Re: Green Ranger Tommy Oliver Joins the Roster of Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind on PS5, PS4
@get2sammyb What? Someone call Dr Strange cause Sammy is in a multiverse of madness where the Green and White Rangers were disliked!
Re: Divisive Green Ranger Tommy Oliver Joins the Roster of Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind on PS5, PS4
Yeah I never thought of or heard of the Green Ranger being divisive. Universally liked is more like it, at least as far as I know.

Re: Xbox's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Comes to PS5 in Spring 2025
@DarthVader42067 So do I! I think we're misunderstanding each other. It's all good 👍🏽
Re: Xbox's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Comes to PS5 in Spring 2025
@DarthVader42067 Don't give up brother, you can get through this I believe in you 💪
Re: Xbox's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Comes to PS5 in Spring 2025
Bwahahahahahaha 🤣 "It's only 4 games"
I still think this game should be in 3rd person though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542
IF I get to play anything at all, I'm close to finishing Bloodborne and I started a Rena playthrough of Star Ocean 2 Remake. I did want to try our Lego Star Wars so I downloaded and installed it but haven't started it yet.
Hope you all have a better weekend than i!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 541
@Kraven The Fray AND Goo Goo Dolls?! Thats awesome. Man that take me back. Enjoy!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 541
@PuppetMaster I might give it a miss then cause dark & depressive isn't really what I need from a game right now, Bloodborne is bad enough.
FFXIII is one of my favorite FF! Wish they would remaster is for PS5.
