@TIEMs I reluctantly finished it, the revenge plot just gets tired after awhile, but the game never shies away from it. Thankfully I don’t think we’ll see the Ellie and Abby story continue as the story concluded.
Our intrepid reporter has a special PS5, his is actually a day ahead. RE2 and Borderlands D&D are on my list. 3, 5/6 are the worst. Although it was fun in 6 on the bridge and roof, just made no sense.
Still chugging away at Nobody Saves the World. In NG+ atm, devilishly hard dungeons random bonuses. Also trying to get through the interesting, but run of the mill, Evil West.
Episode 3 was a crème de la crème of the show, the other episodes really drove home the extremes that the actors put into their various roles. At the end though, watching the world through the protagonists eyes brings great parts to others, but not so much for our heroes.
If I go digital, I own physically nothing. If I get the physical copy then I have to have a disk inserted and listen to the drive do its thing. Decisions.
A non-GoT action, open world game. Sign me up. At least with Souls games, you get a sense of accomplishment that others cannot. I’ll take this method of gaming over the twitch mechanics of Sekiro and GoT.
@Danloaded No. it has an open world, but the controls suck and while it’s atmospheric, things just drag along with little explanation. Not much of an exploration game so much as a try, try, again to figure out things. Like tossing a seed at plants and rocks.
Honestly, having beaten the game, all the missed opportunities for side content that wasn’t there, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Too little, too late.
So to have online anything, you’d need PS Plus, then you’d have to pay another exorbitant fee for game pass? No thanks.
Seems Xbox may be realizing that their small base and whatever the PC gaming base is, are not enough to garner a profit. Compared to sales from Skyrim which was shared across everything, to the current limited projections, Microsoft may be admitting defeat.
To early to tell if they relent and allow the exclusivity to end on their part. Brings the hardships of Sega to mind.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
PoP was interesting in the late 80s. Most people don’t care and possibly base it more on the movie than the old platformer.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Fans' Overt Sexualisation Can 'Ruin Great Story Development', Says Cloud Actor
Too late, plenty of FF porn out there with everything imaginable under the sun. Fanfic has nothing on what’s already out there.
Re: An Until Dawn Movie Is in the Works at PlayStation Productions
Hasn’t been a good wendigo monster movie in a while. Really any cave monster (the decent) will do.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Director Doesn't Get Fan 'Consternation' Surrounding Re-Release
Once through the murder simulator was enough. That story is not something to revisit, still dwelling on the fruitless tale of revenge.
Re: Lunar Lander: Beyond Is Atari's Latest Revival of a Classic on PS5, PS4
Played this game and another like it back in the 70/80s in the local arcade. Maze games, so many quarters.

Re: Naoki Yoshida Thinks New Blood Is Needed to Direct Final Fantasy 17
Yes please, while flashy, 16 was a bore to explore, no side paths, no freedom.

Re: New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (15th January to 21st January)
Do we at least get the update for the rogue mode on TLoU? Already own it.
2 weeks until Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.
Re: Waiting for SEGA's New Crazy Taxi? Fill the Time with Taxi Life, Hitting PS5 in March
Looks like the GT of taxi games. Indestructible cars, no tension, just the wait for that monetary ding.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel's Development Is Officially Underway
Perhaps a different city?
Re: 14 Games on the Way to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Feel like Just Cause was on plus before.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
The problem with making a game about heroes or villains with ties to comics is that you’re tied down by canon.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Plague Tale Requiem with rats, slingshots and 2 brats who get in more trouble than a box of kittens. Also Nobody Saves the World starring Nobody.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered's No Return Mode 'Not Recommended for Weak Hearts', Warns Dev
Only the main story had me hating the murder simulator. Playing a rogue lite adventure is more like an Uncharted adventure, killing is arcade like.
Re: Unleash Avian Rage in Pigeon Simulator Survival on PS5
Been wanting to kill hipsters since Infamous.
Re: The Sinking City Dev Frogwares Emerges Victorious Following Lengthy Legal Battle
It’s a great lovecraftian adventure game. Has some great detective tales, branching paths, a boat for travel down streets. And of course, monsters.
Re: PS Plus Essential's Monthly Games for January 2024 Available Now on PS5, PS4
Sony - all released! East Coast - more like 12pm
Re: Square Enix Resolves to Implement 'Aggressive' AI Strategy in 2024
Waiting for that next HAL or Skynet to create a nice death game.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Kickstart 2024 with Awesome New Art
FF16 team, the ones who aren’t working together anymore. Gotcha.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PS5, PS4 Is Pokémon As Well Now
Loved this part of LaD. Thrilled it’s coming back. Now, if only I could understand Go.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Remake, Remaster, or Re-Release of 2023
Star Ocean, perfect unless you need to read. Text is too small to even attempt it, let alone any of the others.
Re: Turns Out You Won't Lose Access to Those Discovery TV Shows on PlayStation After All
Good because games were next on the list. The one fault with digital media is it doesn’t physically exist.
Re: Nomura Promises Death Won't be Cheated in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Maybe the death won’t be a human one this time.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Huge, May Take 100 Hours to Do Everything
Pushing 268 hours on Dying Light 2, I have no problem with this.

Re: 19 Amazing Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Shadowrun, Tinykin, Grime (action adventure dark rpg), Proteus. The indie games look a bit more fun than a rehash of GTA or a FF dud.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla?
It’ll come to extra at some point, I’ll wait.
Re: PS Plus Extra Game for December May Have Leaked Early
With Rebirth around the corner, why not?
Re: E3 Is Officially Dead
It followed G4. It’s a gamer revolution rotating rigmarole.
Re: Fortnite Fans Can't Believe the Price of the Game's New PS5, PS4 Microtransactions
Never change gacha games, show that sin of greed.
Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Rise of the Ronin Out in March 2024
Oh good, a GoT clone without the small trigger window. Worst part of Ghost, never made it out of tutorial.

Day one purchase.
Re: PlayStation Fans Quickly Noticed Solid Snake's Fortnite Booty Nerf
Kids don’t care or notice such things. It’s adults who have the problem.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Massive Update 2.1 Out Now, Featuring Metro, Expanded Romance, and More
More secrets. Great. Why not add some sightseeing locations? Oh, did that too. How about fishing?
Re: Final Fantasy 16's First Expansion Should Be Revealed This Month
Honestly, having beaten the game, all the missed opportunities for side content that wasn’t there, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Too little, too late.
Re: More Resident Evil Remakes Are on the Way, Capcom Confirms
Can we not? 5 is passable, but 6 is just awful.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Adds Metro System, On-Person Radio, Car Races, and Much More
I’d expect a New Game + around the same time you’re able to skip the intro. So probably never.
Re: SPINE's Cinematic CQC Gameplay Will Send Shivers Down Yours on PS5
Waiting for people to compare this to Cyberpunk
Re: You'd Have to Be Insane to Watch This Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth 10 Minute Story Trailer
Played the last game dubbed, will play the next one dubbed. This argument is old.
Re: Random: Yes, Netflix Really Is Getting GTA for Christmas
Can my phone run this?
Re: SEGA Wonders Whether Releasing Sonic Superstars Next to Mario Was a Good Idea
If you think it’s too good to be true, it is. Common Sense seems to be lacking from game companies, too many strong egos.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Update 5 Is Monstrous, Adds an Entire Epilogue, New Difficulty Settings, and Much More
If they didn’t fix that leaky faucet, it’s not complete.

Re: Silent Hill: Ascension Was Written by 'Real People', Not AI
“I like to make jams.” I’m guessing these berries are naturally fermented.
