@nomither6 I’ve never owned a PS3. I skipped that Gen due to college/sports and work.

I’ve been tempted to buy this since its release but I’ve had some amazing self-restraint. Playing Days Gone, DQXI S and a replay of Yakuza: Like A Dragon has kept me busy. But I don’t know if I can resist much longer 😭😭 And I haven’t even bought Baldur’s Gate 3 yet. Too many great games nowadays 😍😍😍

PS2 games on Premium is a great step forward. But I’d love it if they’d just let me download the PS3 games on premium instead of streaming. For some reason, every time I stream, it lags so hard. My internet is fine with non-PS3 games. But damn, it’s hard to play GoW when you have to button mash and it doesn’t recognize you destroying your fingertips because of the lag 😭😭😭

Replaying Yakuza: Like A Dragon. I was itching so bad to replay Infinite Wealth. But I want to get the PS4 platinum of it (already got the PS5 platinum) a year or two later. There may not be another game out for a bit in the franchise so I want to hold off on a 2nd playthrough until news is announced

Happy weekend everyone!

I’m already sold because Atlus. But I’m going to watch this anyways during SGF. I’m sure it’ll hype me up even more

I still need to play Unicorn Overlord. Bet I’ll love it though. Vanillaware is awesome

Yeah there’s no way they aren’t making a sequel for this game.

Can’t wait until 2125 to see what Madden calls it then

Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition

I am FINALLY almost through all of Act III. What I have left is: 5th Wheel Trial thingy, pretty much all of the evil Tickington stuff (I’m missing 3 Pastwords so yay, gotta find them ), 3 final costumes left (Rab/Serena/Jade), the actual final boss of Act III then the secret boss. Not sure I have much else to do. Already completed all of Drustan’s 5 trials, most quests are complete, etc. Oh I’m saving the last puff puff for the platinum trophy because… uhhh, well…. Puff puff puff puff pufffff 😈😈😈😈

Funny thing (to me) is I played DQXI (original) back in like 2018 maybe. Could’ve been 2020 tbh. Anyways, I reached Sniflheim, completed its arc then decided it just didn’t click with me. I tried my damnest to love it but it wasn’t hitting with me. Fast forward to 2024 and I gave DQXI S a proper second try. Absolutely adore it now.

Just a reminder to folks that not every game clicks the first time you play it. Take some time (or years) off and retry it later. Maybe you’ll end up loving it! Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

I can’t imagine how beautiful GoT would be on an optimized PC. Still one of my favorites from the PS4 generation (including 3rd party releases)

I just want a Bloodborne 2 announcement 😭😭 But I’ll take any Elden Ring I can get

SE has a budgeting/marketing problem. Their expectations are unrealistic. If they keep this up, it’s only going to lead to more lay-offs. I can’t imagine what huge expectations they will put on DQXII whenever that releases in the future.

I hope SE can rebound and adjust their strategy because they’re in the top 3 for my favorite game studios (probably #1 or #2 with Sega). Some of their smaller, niche titles are brilliant.

Why not just make the “modified outfits” original style a variation/secondary option? I don’t personally care about it but I could see why people feel misled and slighted. If I was one of those people, I’d probably be hesitant to pre-order a game from them a second time around.

I bought the game because the combat looked like a blast. I was not disappointed.

@Luigia On most things I’d agree with this sentiment. For this scenario though, I’d rather wait it out even if it never happens.

I would love some new IPs. Right now, it’s pretty much just continuation/sequels of last gens’ games. Hopefully Sony comes out swinging soon

I’m waiting for a proper Sony handheld. Might be waiting forever, but still :’)

Glad I played Stellar Blade first. Had a feeling it’d get another update fast. Playing a ton of DQXI S before I jump into Fallout 4 so I’m happy about this 😎😎

I’m playing what probably everyone else is playing… DQXI S

Jokes aside, I’m working through Act 2. Loving it again. I’m playing 1 Act at a time so I took a big break from it after Act 1. Funnily enough, I played this originally years ago (not the Definitive Edition) and didn’t enjoy it. Bought the Definitive Edition and got hooked. Funny how games sometimes don’t stick the first time

I really don’t think it means a mainline game every year. The easiest way to do this would be to just create a spin off series for each of 3/4/5 and 6 when it comes out.

I bought Stellar Blade as a pre-order physical release. Well worth it for me at least.

Absolutely loved the game. Its hardest fight was the last battle by far (which it should be). But it was a lot of fun. Combat is fluid and not overly complex. One aspect was clearly influenced by “Spartan Rage” in GoW which was fine 😂 Idc about the censorship stuff because I wasn’t interested in this game for the horny horny 😈😈 aspect. I kinda liked that there weren’t 100s of characters in it as well. Focused mainly on the 3 protagonists which worked very well. You got enough depth with all of them to understand their views and personality. Story wasn’t anything revolutionary. But not every developer has A+++ story tellers. Still no excuse, but whatever

Only major flaw (to me) is any swimming section where you had to push boards in the water. Or just water sections in general. Some terrible controls would get Eve stuck. It really isn’t a major flaw but just something that was terrible to deal with It also sucked when I’d fall somewhere and die that I couldn’t just use a WB pump to respawn at that spot I fall from. Minor gripe though

Overall, loved my first play through of it. Waiting for NG+ because they’ll eventually release DLC. Plus more suits.

Every man for themselves though

Honestly, I’m fine with waiting for it to come to PS5 until it’s fully ready to go. They’ll nail this game just like Hades. It got me into roguelites. Take your time! Worth the wait 😎😎

It’s going to be a 10/10. Pretty obvious. Just give it to me already 😭😭

They air balled a layup

It’d be great if they brought it at least to online retail eventually. I don’t care to get the deluxe edition for a franchise I’ve never played. Plus the shipping is $20 so I’m paying $100. Just give me a normal physical release 😭😭😭

Absolutely fine with this month. Tunic will be near the top of my list. Ghostrunner I could never get into. I’m not big on first person games for the most part tho. So I doubt I try the sequel. I’m just happy I have something here to play :’)

I hope this doesn’t mean no Octopath Traveler III (if that was ever going to happen). I love a lot of Square’s “niche” titles

@PapaGlitch Gollum with tits would sell like hotcakes tbh

Stellar Blade. Just beat the first “non-prologue” boss. Combat feels so smooth IMO. Game looks gorgeous. Absolutely loving my experience with it. Also, super glad there’s a second play through needed for the platinum. It definitely seems like a game I’d want to replay again

Justice has prevailed

That PS5 fence tho 😍😍😍😍 unnff

Kind of a bummer but let’s be real: Persona romances are about as bare bones as you can get. Not the end of the world here

So an 8 here usually means a 9 for me. Only concern is if the English dub is actually bad or not. I don’t mind subs though. I’m pretty lenient with dubs (with Yakuza being the exclusion) so I’ll give both a try

Regardless, pumped for this! The combat and visuals are what drew me in. If the story isn’t “all-world”/top notch, so be it. I just want to have fun after playing some heavy hitter narratives

So glad I held out on playing this on my Switch. I’m gonna treat this as an early birthday gift to myself. “Treat yo self” some wise woman once said

I hope they add more “weaknesses” to the combat. I’m fine with the basic fire/wind/ice/electric/light/dark (and nuke/psi) but I’d love another weakness triangle or two that corresponds with the fantastical theme of the game

It has so much potential. Day 1 buy for me automatically!

Anyone have any idea if they’re going to have a steelbook edition outside the Collector’s Edition? Hard to justify buying a CE for a franchise I haven’t played (but I know I’ll love it)

Preordered and should be here by launch day. Probably won’t play until night but I’m pumped nonetheless!

Just platinum’ed Days Gone so I’m trying to find something new before Stellar Blade. Any similar recs to Days Gone, anyone?

Pretty much a slam dunk easy decision. Cannot wait for S2!!

Can’t wait for the “How I Met Your Mother” open world video game.

I’ll play it this summer once my backlog lightens up

I’ve been waiting for the DLC to drop (soon) and more patches to come before doing my “hard mode” run. When things die down in the summer for big releases, I may pop this disc back in. Absolutely loved the game and it sounds like the combat is becoming even better. Sign me up

Just be TwoDog for Season 2. Solved that one quick 😎 Never played FO3 but I bet him being in the next season would be a great shout to fans!

I’m just hesitant to upgrade to a PS5 Pro because the PS6 is probably coming sooner than later. If it’s not really a huge graphical leap, I may pass. I don’t care much about performance. Games look great on my LG CX anyways with the “base” PS5.

Rebirth was fantastic to me. But coming out in quick succession versus other giant JRPGs didn’t help. Most gamers don’t have the time for two brand new 100 hour games back to back like that. I thibk Rebirth will have a second wind down the line whether they do another DLC ep, expand on Queen’s Blood or when it’s added to PS+

Days Gone. First time trying it and I really like it! It’s not a masterpiece like TLOU, but it’s pretty fun

I’m going to give this a try. Currently I’m playing Days Gone with a little bit of Immortals Fenyx Rising on the side. This could be a fun game to get into a bit

It’s between LAD: Infinite Wealth & FF7: Rebirth. Hard to choose between them tbh

I’ll give this a watch on Thursday since I have no show that night besides from baseball. I probably won’t binge it though

I’m lowkey excited for this game. Don’t know if I’ll buy it Day 1, but it’s getting my interest with the more news that comes out!
