My two cents is that they have a mess of a show that either needs to stick to the script or go in a separate direction. It’s fine to play a murder simulator, it’s another thing to watch it.
Oh I don’t know, maybe release all the PS games of yesteryear? Actually have a library of options. Actual hit games not even on eBay. Crazy that PS Plus has 100s of games and premium has more in common with essential games.
Not ***** on the games themselves, but since Bethesda sold out to Microsoft, their true nature comes through. Still giving glory and praise to their masters, while failing for anyone else.
Going forward it may be prudent to not purchase physical copies from select devs. Bethesda has long been cheap, liars and sell outs. Did we expect anything less?
They could have implemented a different summoning technique very easily. Ton more ways to summon something than throwing a sphere, which just invited Nintendo to sue. Sounds a lot like Palworld chose to challenge Pokémon with similar systems. Why invite this type of trouble?
No fix for the swimming in a Kofun. I think it’s itshibukai Kofun in lower Yamato. Hilarious bug to explore the ceilings, but it’s deadly since you can’t squeeze through a crack underwater. Unsure if season matters.
Would like to see a harder mode than expert. Can stand on a rooftop in relative safety and snipe everything. Make soldiers climb up after you. Love the Vanish armor ability, that and poison bomb in the dead body. So much fun.
The only complaint I had was a lack of strength weapons, I just run around with the hammer you get from beating the last game’s protagonist. Maybe less stat hard and soft locks, currently you can’t really get outrageous builds.
Kena was great, puzzles and mostly open world. Animal Well was interesting, great as a metroidvania, a bit confusing at times. Stray Blade was another souls like, gameplay and maps were great, ending kinda meh.
Of “All Time”. Clearly missed out on some influential titles there besides Pong. Ultima series, Bards Tale, Flight Simulator, SM3. I’d even add ET for the 2600, yes it was a failure, but epic. Also no Myst?
Well it looks like a typical Nintendo game, lower resolution, lots of black and white. Looks character based, maybe x amount of premade archetypes. No actual gameplay though.
I don’t think I’d want my character in a Dark Souls game or Souls-like to be talking back to me for getting killed, suiciding or another reset of his stats.
Where else could the story go? Revenge is a dish best never served. Ellie got everything she deserved at the end. Abby also came to that conclusion. I doubt their continuing stories amounted to much else.
HoL was a hilarious adventure. The inclusion of 5 B Rated films is great. Trashy movies to go with a trashy game. Great parodies of other sci fi works. Fun game, hope it gets a sequel.
DA is an ok series, although I haven’t played VG, it was fun in a PG13 tone. It seems they went too safe this time as you really can’t be evil. Eh, may give it a go during the next crisis or next week.

Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
Guessing that “non-negotiable” term was quickly discarded as time went on.

Re: 6 Bonus PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Confirmed for May, June 2025
Puzzle games without the 5 cds that Riven required. Good luck, riven is tough.
Re: PS5's Shadow Labyrinth Reveals More Familiar Pac-Man Mazes, and They Still Look Crazy
PAC-Man metroidvania. Never thought I’d see the day. What’s next Asteroids? Defender?
Re: Oblivion Remastered Sales Prove the Power of Nostalgia and Shadow Drops
I played Arena and Daggerfall back on my C64 so long ago. Loved the original oblivion and all its bugs.

Never see the old animation games other than Dragons Lair or Space Ace anymore.
Re: TV Show Review: The Last Of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 6 - Robbing the Story of Its Genius
So would a different story in the same universe be the answer or is the adaptation and expectation of the game the issue?

Yokai’s are real!
Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
Failing brand seeks to right their loss via the consumer. Remember the Sega as another struggles forward.
Re: PS Plus Essential Game for May 2025 Possibly Leaked Early
Thumbs down. I get they’re trying to market the game with the movie, but both stink.
Re: Mar 2025 USA Sales: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is the Second Best-Selling Game of 2025 So Far
@Jrs1 same, keep killing people from unknown organizations.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.3 Walks Back Item Changes, Fixes PS5 Pro Graphics Issues
No fix for the trapping invisible walls around Fusido Temple (landslide) in Kii. Whole area is one big bug. Found while exploring.

Monster farming to improve your farm while farming with monsters.
Re: Switch 2 Exclusivity Concerns Surround Ys X: Proud Nordics as Plans for PS5 Are Undecided
So it’ll be $80 on the switch, $70 on PS5?

Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Hardcore Mode Brings True Medieval Misery to PS5 Next Week
Born a Mutant, numbskull, heavy footed and punchable face seems like a recipe for disaster.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.2 Out Now, Improves Horses, Item Selling, PS5 Pro's Graphics
Nothing more frustrating than hunting a ronin and you get stuck on a small tree. Harima ronin hunt is a time-sink.
Re: Turn Your Attention to Historical Tactical Action in Nobunaga's Ambition on PS5
Last played this series on the SNES. Fun times.

Re: Druckmann 'Excited and Curious' to See How The Last of Us HBO Audience Will React to Season 2
I’m more curious about the pregnant girl getting killed as well as the skyscraper people. This is going to be a shocking season all around.

I usually just sell my previous collection after each generation.
Re: Even Silent Hill F's PS5 Steelbook Is Horrible to Look At
Now that’s a cover!
Re: The Last of Us-Themed PS5 Controller Available to Pre-Order Now
Great controller, to look at. After a few months, you’ll start drifting to the left, or the right. Sony really needs to upgrade the stick *****.
Re: Silent Hill F Revealed for PS5 in Debut Trailer
After playing through remake a few times, I can honestly say that the new protagonist will have the same lack of combat ability. Can’t wait.
Re: As War on AI Rages, Two Zenless Zone Zero Stars Say They Were Replaced Without Prior Notice
Honkai Star Rail has been missing 2 main character voices for the last few months. Very odd.
Re: Sony's AI Leak Reveals a Creepy Sci-Fi Future PS5 Gamers Don’t Necessarily Want

Re: Until Dawn Remake Dev 'Effectively' Closed, Says New Report
Personally liked The Quarry over UD.
Re: Rumour: Far Cry Multiplayer Shooter Has Been 'Rebooted' as Ubisoft Turmoil Continues
Why they don’t resurrect the gameplay from 2, I’ll never understand. I think we’ve run out of ideas for tropical islands.
Re: 'Don't Bet' on The Last of Us 3, Warns Neil Druckmann

Re: Here's a Better Look Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Action-Heavy, Turn-Based Combat System
Looks like turn based bloodborne. It looks nice but I’ll need a more honest take on it than relying on IGN .
Re: PS5 Lovecraftian Sequel The Sinking City 2 Plots Crowd Funding Campaign
Great game, tons of charm, backstabbing and exploration. Mind the flooded streets though.
Re: Grab These 3 PS Plus Essential Games Before They're Gone Tomorrow

Re: 9 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Yours to Download Now
They really need a Star Bors game where you’re the villain, a new game.
Re: Rumour: God of War Is Taking a 'Younger' Kratos Back to Greece
Ahh the ole reboot for more $$$ idea. Hard pass. GoW already did it to death, stomped on it, then buried it. Plenty of other mythologies to conquer.
