Loved the original and the remaster so yes, a sequel would be very welcome.

Lots of very good stuff on this sale. I finally grabbed the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters for $48.74 USD.

I never watched Memento forwards even when that was released as a DVD extra. This... maybe at some point. I'm glad it exists.

Basically reads like, "We also don't understand what's being asked nor are we interested in straightening that out."

@DennisReynolds If even people who love the game are willing to admit that the solo play stinks, it demonstrates that I'm not expressing some outsider opinion. And there are plenty of people being honest about it.
When a dev sells a game as being playable solo but, after release, it becomes obvious that solo play was an afterthought--a crumb for the solitary--that's a lie. They swore up and down that they had no interest in supporting a live service title but here it is; years long multiplayer support. That's live service and it has existed longer than the term.
And seeing as you love being lied to... you know exactly what live service is and aren't simply associating it with "bad."

@DennisReynolds First off, you're the one who brought up a single person's opinion (yours) in order to suggest that I was incorrect about the campaign being crap with AI squadmates. I'm the one who's explaining to you how opinions work. And yes, all those titles are live service which isn't inherently a bad thing. Unless of course the developers swore up and down that they weren't making a live service title. Saber did. That was a lie. If you like being lied to, I'm happy you found a developer who treats you that way.

@DennisReynolds It is not at all difficult to find many who disagree with your assessment of the solo campaign. Opinions there are going to vary obviously. But this is a live service game and we were all lied to about that. It should bother you even if you enjoyed the game. I know it won't though.

@awp69 Now mine lists both versions as available but at full price. We're in the midst of the update rolling out it seems.

@awp69 They're up now. I'm having the same issue with Diablo IV. Neither version is listed as included. Just a $70 bundle and the base game which is "unavailable." That's how it is in the app right now for me anyway.

I remember back before the game was released, I mentioned that it looked like a live service, multiplayer focused game where the campaign wouldn't be fun to play solo. I was called all sorts of names and told I was looking for something to hate. I'm gonna go ahead and rest my case now.

@Orpheus79V If I recall correctly, the initial version of RE 4 became Devil May Cry which is nuts to consider. But I admit that I'm less familiar with the story behind 2s development. I'll check it out.

@UncleByron I'm being piled on for going against the groupthink which is "Yay! They're giving us what we want!" I'm saying that exploring open world/online options was a waste of time regardless of how long it took them. You're disagreeing with me. What part am I getting wrong here?

@DennisReynolds Yes, I read the quote. What part of the pivot didn't you understand?

Great! Games that pivot midway through development always turn out great, right? What's that?

EDIT partway? halfway? It means the same result; a disjointed mess.

@Daddee-Cree Look, man, I'm trying to manage an addiction here.

I didn't feel the need for a Portal. But then I started playing Balatro...

Suda 51, a decent looking PSVR2 game, and James Bond. I was very happy.
Not a fighting game person but the gravity of the announcement was felt regardless.

Resident Evil sIX

My only requirements for a new BioShock game: a lighthouse, a man, and a city.

Kayak VR was one I bought immediately after I dropped down to Essential. Super chill. Great VR showcase game.

I am straight up dreading horseback archery. But trophies are trophies and my addiction is my addiction.

FYI several of those PSVR2 games on the service are on that big list of games leaving the service this month.

I'm currently working my way through the game a second time, going for the platinum and one of the HC trophies. This will fit in nicely. I'll have to do a 3rd playthrough for those other 2 DLCs after they're out. Still the greatest game of all time.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Well guess who was waaaaaaay out of the loop? I haven't gotten around to picking that one up yet so I had no idea it had received a patch (in relatively short order too). Thanks for the update from the most appropriate of usernames!

Get ready for another Red Dead Redemption style, low effort, 30 fps cash grab. I'll get it anyway because I'm part of the problem.

I'm still scared that all the good writers left and we're going to be left with a substandard story in a world designed for GTA online. But even if that's the case, the sheer amount of money and effort thrown at it suggests that it'll still be better than most games, just not up to par with previous GTA games. Or I could be wrong and this could be the best game yet.

If it lacks a platinum trophy, I'll be upset but will be forced to admit that it's hilarious.

For the first time in ages, my PS+ account will be used for multiplayer and not just free games. It's time!

Boltgun was lots of fun and I guess it's time to try heroin- er, Balatro.

These sound like complaints that I would also have were I to see the show. My city's local orchestra did an evening of video game music where they played everything from Tetris and Zelda all the way up to Megalovania with the full orchestra. It was incredible. Stripped down versions (maybe with a string quartet) could be cool. But this hybrid approach sounds unsatisfying.

What... we didn't like the opening? Personally I think this game has the absolute best pacing of any open world game I've ever played. The second I got bored with something was the very moment the narrative introduced something new. To me, it's the most remarkable aspect of what's essentially just a pretty good game.

So that's how it is? We some sort of... Dark Pictures Anthology?

People: what a load of ********.

After playing and beating the game at launch, I finally went back and tried hardcore mode (all negative perks) on the first game. It is SO MUCH fun. There are a few negative perks I could do without (Numbskull turns progress into a grind) but I love the lack of fast travel and the need to truly navigate. Hardcore is just how I'm going to play both games from now on.

And that's why I'm switching from Premium to Essential this month! Well... that AND my own personal playing and buying habits.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare It was on sale on PSN for that much just a couple weeks ago. I think it was one of their weekend sales that was only in effect for a couple days.

JUST picked up Robocop for $10 on the weekend sale a couple weeks back. Oh well. A month of asymmetrical multiplayer with the rest of the free folk could be fun too.

After bouncing off all prior Souls-likes, Bloodborne was the first (and so far only) one that clicked for me.

My premium is about to become an essential so it seems like as good a time as any to grab Dying Light 2.

If this gets rid of the flashing, then Jesus Christ be praised, etc.

@ShogunRok Thank you. That probably makes the most sense. I'm seriously considering playing it in canon mode when I eventually get to it.

Just curious but... how are romances handled in that "canon mode" that's newly available? Do you still get to choose, are the romances removed, or do they pick one for you?

Oh no! Have these people not heard the recent disc rot news?

Full 3D remake of Déjà Vu confirmed!!!

I have no hard drive space and I must play.
