@QBGaming12 yeah that’s the exact reason why I pounced on a physical copy when it fell to $40 last year. Still haven’t played it yet but it’s back up to full price. There’s only a small window to buy it discounted with games like these unfortunately 😭😭

@Enuo nah I don’t think that’s it. FT has had a “side sequel manga” going on the same time as Eden’s Zero. So a new anime season makes perfect sense. EZ never hit the popularity of FT but it definitely wasn’t a failure

Free online games almost never have fun/reasonsble trophy lists. Not that I actually play online games anymore 😂😂

Haven’t played the PS5 version yet since I’m waiting for a deep physical sale. But I want to give it a go eventually 😎😎

This game has to be related (in some sense) to Fate/Zero right? Maybe not directly but still. I watched that anime years ago. I think it had the blonde chick Saber that my gf at the time obsessed with. I’ve never heard of this game before so maybe I’ll look into it more. I’ve watched two Fate anime (Zero I think then the one with Rin) so it may be up my alley

I was going to start SMT V: V but I’m waiting for my Celtics to finish off the Mavs before I play it. Too anxious to start a new game before then. So I’m replaying the Novigrad portion of The Witcher 3 on PS5. Still an all time amazing game

I feel like video game leaks kinda take the fun out of the showcases/events/whatever. I try to avoid them the week of an event by staying off social media but these things get leaked weeks before at times

There will never be another Cuno. The King of Disco Elysium.

I don’t know how well a Kim game would’ve been made. A lot would have to change. You wouldn’t have been able to do the dumb stuff like you did with Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau. It’d be more serious of a game which is meh to me. An adult Cuno game with him being a constantly high detective instead of a drunk one would actually work really well IMO

@Czar_Khastik tfw I’m a 30 year old white man and never got any pictures 😭😭 I’m just doing everything wrong

Even with a guide, you still need to beat the bosses which is no small task. I get wanting to go in blind but if you’re struggling, it’s acceptable to use a guide. Some people don’t click with every boss. It’s okay.

@SlySnake0407 if it doesn’t stick with me this next time, I’ll definitely go that route. Thank you for making me aware of that!

@amatmulisha literally my thoughts exactly. I platinum’ed Control on PS4 before the PS5 version existed. I may replay that again down the line. But I was so excited to try Alan Wake 1 when it hit PS+. I was so disappointed by what you said: outdated controls and just the clunky gameplay. I’m going to give Alan Wake 1 one more attempt before moving onto Alan Wake 2. 2 just looks so damn good

@MikeOrator I’m so pumped for SMT V:V. I played my first SMT game last year (3) and really enjoyed it for the most part. I didn’t play the original V so I’m going in very fresh thankfully

I’m already buying it Day 1 so I’m good. So pumped for a new IP in Metaphor from Atlus before Persona 6. SMT V & Metaphor combined with Persona 3 Reload makes this the year of Atlus/Sega (if we include my GOTY Infinite Wealth) 😎😎😎

Still unrealistically waiting for Small Soldiers from PS1 to come on Premium. It’ll never happen but I had fond memories of playing it with my brothers 😂

I redownloaded Alan Wake Remastered to give it another try this summer. I loved Control but Alan Wake 1 wouldn’t stick with me. I really want to play Alan Wake 2 but won’t until I get through 1 😭😭😭

For people who have played the Dragon Age games:

I’ve never played a Dragon Age game. Is this a sequel or is it “safe” to play this game like a standalone? If it’s a sequel, where would I start?

Astrobot appears to have enough content to warrant full price IMO. It looks fantastic

Automatic Day 1 buy

@twitchtvpat oh sweet! Pretty pumped for it 😎😎

I doubt it would’ve been hard for them to do a Bloodborne-esque DLC trophy list where you defeat the main bosses and collect new weapons. Most people playing the DLC will be doing that anyways. It would’ve been easy to meet trophy hunters halfway there IMO. Still going to play it after SMT V: Vegenance

Has Black Myth Wukong shown any gameplay? Can’t remember seeing any in the trailer. If not, kind of weird since it’s releasing soon. The cinematics look fantastic though!

Pretty big bummer here. I pretty much only buy physical games unless it’s either digital only indie titles that I want to support or the discount digitally is too good to pass up. I’m not opposed to digital games, but it’s really misleading buying a game expecting a disc only to get a download code. Not everyone who will preorder will see this so some will be disappointed

I thought it was pretty interesting. Not bothered in the slightest. Happy others het to play a Horizon game, even it’s a Lego one

Pretty meh to me. Didn’t help that the secondary host was dull. They probably should’ve found someone with more hosting experience. There were some nice indie titles in there, but nothing that made me crazy excited like when TGA announced Hades 2

@BeerIsAwesome @freddquadros thank you both!! I’m really looking forward to it then! Appreciate the quick help 😎😎

That Persona question is going to give me unwarranted and absolutely unrealistic false hope about a Persona 6 announcement. It’s gotta be coming eventually… right?!

Is there a single player component to Halo? I’ve never played it before so I have no clue. If there is, I’d be interested

They’ll drag TLOU2 out but they short changed TLOU1? So much great content emitted that could’ve bought them at least a few more episodes

I’ll go with things I know won’t happen because yolo:

Persona 6 | LAD 9/Judgment 3 | FFXVII | Mass Effect 4 | Witcher 4 | Bloodborne 2

If any of these unlikely reveals/updates happen, I’ll be a happy wittle gamer.

If they do dynasty mode right, then I’m there Day 1. I spent countless hours as a kid making irrelevant colleges national champs. Hopefully dynasty is still going to be fun to play

@ShogunRok as you should have. You did the right thing 😎

I’ve been actually craving to go back to OT2 for awhile now. So if this is the case, I can gladly wait for OT1. Pretty awesome news if it happens

I’ll give it a shot as well. I’ll probably like it since I am easy to please

I’m putting it in my will that my dog gets my PSN account. Then if she dies, I guess my future children can have it. But my dog is probably immortal so good luck to them fighting that one out in doggie court

Can someone tell me what day the “main showcase” is for SGF? I know they have other ones like Microsoft (I think) and Ubisoft. But I have no clue which one is the main one since it’s worded weirdly on their website. Thanks!

Pretty clearly Astrobot for me. It looks phenomenal IMO

@Savage_Joe oh I had no clue. That friggen blows.

Seems like Sony is pushing Astrobot to be their next big Platformer mascot. I’m all for it 😎😎 Admittingly, I’m not breaking any “stage/level” records, but it’s still super fun regardless. 80 levels will surely keep players busy.

Is this really a big deal? Seems so minor with how many sign ins people have nowadays

80 levels??? I didn’t catch that before. This game looks like it’ll be worth every penny. I’ll probably support it Day 1 because it’s clear how much love the devs put into the first game. Here’s hoping the 2nd is just as great!

I was really hoping for at least a little teaser of SM2 DLC in the State Of Play. I wanted to wait for all of it to release before diving into NG+. It felt really good playing it. It also looked beautiful on my OLED as well

I’ll probably replay one of the first two games soonish. My summer games are really only SMT V and maybe Elden Ring DLC depending on how much content it has. I’m probably missing something though 😂😂

The only “Warrior-esque” type game I’ve played was Persona 5 Strikers. I absolutely adored it. So I’ll give this one a chance. It looked fun

It looks like it improved on so much from the first game which was already awesome. Tempting Day 1 buy for me. Looks excellent

I didn’t feel like this State of Play was necessary if that’s what was being shown.

@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
