‘007: First Light’. I’m having a legit blast with it. I’m mainly a stealth player if given the option in games so I’m loving the stealth-focus.
It shows how games like this and ‘Uncharted’ are so damn fun. An excellently written witty, lovable and quippy main protagonist is a rare breed.
I just hope they don’t overextend the life of this game IF it takes away from a sequel’s development time. DLC is great and all but the focus should be on developing the series long-term.
A sequel still needs to polish the gunplay, driving and more gadget diversity. So I’d rather them spend their time making the second game the best it can be. But they have to do whatever makes the company profit
I just don’t think this was the right person to review this game if they don’t vibe with tough combat/soulslike genre. All I’m getting here was the game wasn’t a cakewalk so I turned on the cheats. That’s cool and all. But, it doesn’t really help people decide if it’s a game for them if the person reviewing it doesn’t care for this type of combat & exploration anyways.
The total review (not the conclusion) comes across more as “the reviewer didn’t like it so yeah” rather than “it’s not the reviewer’s cup of tea but despite that, it’s a quality game with these pros & cons”.
For the MC, my bet is there are hundreds of concept arts that Atlus goes through to determine which style/look/anything is the final one for MC. I doubt this is the actual final design for MC. Maybe they transfer it over to a different character. But I’m doubtful.
‘Pragmata’ has the potential to take off as a franchise and become a ‘Capcom Mainstay’ in a tier or three below ‘Resident Evil’ & ‘Monster Hunter’ (because let’s be realistic— no new Capcom franchise is reaching those heights without many sequels). I’d be floored if ‘Pragmata’ was a one and done.
I’ve been saving a third replay of both DLC for awhile now. Once we get a firm release date, I’m jumping back in. The more Geralt, the better. Although, I’m fully in support of Ciri in TW4
Saturday is a no gaming day with me. I’m going to Fenway Park for the ‘Survivor’ theme day to watch my beloved but mediocre Boston Red Sox team face another mediocre team in the Minnesota Twins. Should be a fun day even if we can’t score more than 2 runs most games 😭😭
The prior two weekends I’ve platinum’ed both ‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ and ‘Stellar Blade’ (NG+ quick play through of Stellar Blade was fun. Less than 5 hours). Great to satisfyingly close the book on two fun adventures!
Now, I’ve begun a fresh second play through with no trophy transfer/autopop for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on my PS5 Pro. I’ve already platinum’ed the PS4 Complete Edition.
But, if I’m getting a second platinum for a game, I want to play it in its entirety and collect the trophies naturally. I only collect trophies for FUN and to add in clear, additional challenges to a game I like… NOT to STOCKPILE pointless numbers on random trophies and cheap shovelware games. I don’t lock myself out of games if I’m unsure about getting the platinum. Baldur’s Gate 3 has been an utter blast and I doubt I platinum it.
I am debating getting through like 25% of HZD then putting it down until a Horizon 3 revealin a few years (hopefully sooner). It seems very, very doubtful & unlikely Guerilla Games’ Horizon 3 gets teased nor releasd any time soon because of the Multi-player game.
I have some other games I may start back up: Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 2 (haven’t decided if I’m platinum’ing it yet), Death Stranding 2 chapter 2, Final Fantasy XVI “hard mode” post-time skip, some Hades 2 runs with higher fear, or replay The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt DLC for fun. My backlog is loaded 😂😂 Or maybe I’ll finally be tempted to splurge on Pragmata 😈😈
I don’t recall them ever announcing this much in advance before. Maybe they’re hoping some surprise studio calls and says they have something? Highly doubtful Sony hasn’t done its due diligence but maybe they’re leaving the door open for last minute surprises (reasonably last minute not a day before) additions. But I’m sure it’s probably all finalized. 60+ minutes is a lot of content already!
I desperately want a Pokémon-esque game to succeed on PlayStation but the cons like “tedious backtracking at times” are a major turn off. I may give it a shot eventually though
@4fold I’m playing both Clair Obscur & Hades 2 right now as well. I restarted Clair Obscur because I paused (I was mid-way through Act 2 I’m assuming) last May due to a family death to cancer. But it’s such a great game with an amazing OST and set of characters.
Hades 2… is my game of the year. It takes everything good from Hades and makes it so much better. Supergiant Games never miss
I know a lot of people hate remakes but I think FFX & Square Enix would benefit from it here if they’re truly not doing FFIX (yes, there’s been leaks but nothing confirmed) nor FFVIII. FFVII Remake trilogy has been fantastic. But for FFX, we don’t need three games but one to two at max to flesh out FFX and make it up to date with TURN BASE combat still intact and sweet graphical enhancements would be great. Plus, who wouldn’t want to play a more polished version of blitzball?
Ultimately though, I think they’re going to just do a sequel/continuation to the FFVII trilogy once Part 3 ends. They have the world already created; it’s easy money to just make a sequel or spin-offs there. The characters, world, magic system and combat system are way too beloved for them not to just keep going IMO.
Gotten through 3 regions in the “below” path so far. Absolutely loving this game. I’ve only done nine runs but the amount of content and versatility this has over Hades is insane. They literally hit all the right notes.
Going to do my first surface run tonight.
I truly hope Supergiant Games creates Hades 3. They could easily reuse all twelve regions (4 in Hades 1 and 8 in Hades 2) and make it random like the new mode in they added. Greek mythology is so damn rich.
Chaos would be the perfect final villain as well… or just make a game called ‘Chaos’. They could definitely introduce different mythologies (they hint at them with the hidden aspects) in a ‘Chaos’ themed game and add like Egyptian and/or Norse alongside Greek. Imagine one final boss being Greek mythology Chaos, another being Norse mythology Loki, and the third being Egyptian mythology Apep (I’m not well-versed in Egyptian mythology)? It could be incredible.
Hopefully this succeeds and makes MLB The Show have to implement major changes to its game on a yearly basis. But I doubt this eats at its target market too much outside of Japan.
Backyard Baseball though? That’s the real competitor here
Played 4 runs last night. Beat the first boss all four tries which tbh I was proud of. The first boss in Hades 2 is MUCH easier than the first in Hades. Got to the second boss on my third boss and had about 25% health left. Then, in my 4th run, got walloped in the 2nd area by….Tiny ***** Vermin. King ***** Vermin… Dude hits so damn hard in both games. He’s already traumatized me
Honestly, I haven’t played it so I’m not sure. But, I’m positive buyers of the game mostly appreciate them improving Crimson Desert’s quality. It seems like the studio is really looking at, absorbing and then utilizing fan/gamer feedback. I’m sure some of these fixes were already in the works though. I’m not a game developer so I don’t know how long it actually takes to even implement the small of changes.
Long winded but yes: it’s great to see a studio pride itself in a game and try to make it even better for gamers. Some developers don’t really go back to their games once it’s released nowadays.
Crimson Desert is on my wish list. It feels like a perfect “I’m staying in the air conditioned room and I refuse to leave it” type of summer game
If this game debuted ANY other week of 2026 other than this week, it’d be a quick pre-order. Rough that it got Hades 2 thrusted upon it so late. Nonetheless, the review makes it sound like it’s right up my alley. Plus, it’s a shorter game which is perfect. I don’t need every game to be a 70 hour adventure. I really hope Pragmata sells well. If it doesn’t, Capcom doesn’t have much incentive to not triple down on Resident Evil and Monster Hunter with almost guaranteed huge sales instead of mixing in new IP like Pragmata
Playing some Hades runs in anticipation of Hades 2 next week. One of my most anticipated games in years. Bizarre that the pre-orders have yet to open on PlayStation but I guess it really doesn’t matter. I’m there Day 1 on my PS5 Pro
My dream is a FF7 Remake Part 3 name drop but I don’t think it’s likely. I’m still guessing Part 3 drops in 2028 on Leap Day once again.
Anything Sony 1st Party that’s a surprise would be nice. The Santa Monica Studios game rumored to be a spin off of GoW would be awesome to have a teaser. Gameplay of InterGalatic and Wolverine would be wicked.
Don’t really know what surprises Sony could really have but I’m here for it.
Damn it, this convinced me to add the Phantom Liberty DLC to my queue. Tbh, I bought it ages ago with plans to play it on my PS5 Pro but got busy. It looks so damn good. I’ve platinum’ed the game on PS5 and adored it.
The ‘Peralez’ quest line is one of my favorite side questlines in all of gaming. It literal gave me the sp00ks for weeks when V gets the static call with someone telling V something like ‘nothing will change’. I never get spooked but holy damn, Cyberpunk landed that questline magnificently. I REALLY, REALLY hope the sequel expands on that quest’s themes because it’s actually very well-thought out to a personal level with the paranoia.
For Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5, I heard a lot changed from the launch/early on version to now… like a drastic amount.
For people who played before Update 2.0 and then played after: is the changes too drastic to pick up right again? I haven’t played once since Update 2.0. I’m assuming all my skill/upgrades/etc. (can’t remember what it’s called) has been reset. Any thoughts on it would be wicked!
@get2sammyb yeah, that’s rough. I might just play the Phantom Liberty DLC with the update but I feel like jumping into that with years off plus the 2.0 update might make my time more frustrating trying to figure out what’s different and what not. Still might give it a go soon on my Pro
@MrPeanutbutterz heaven forbid that I don’t want to replay a 100+ hour game without the extra incentive/challenge when I have tons of heavy hitters left in my backlog like Clair Obscur, Death Stranding 2, FF7 Rebirth on Hard Mode, etc. I’ll replay it eventually when it gets a PS6 edition. But my complaint is valid because they did it for Witcher 3.
Still wish they gave us a new trophy list/stack for the 2.0 update. I platinum’ed Cyberpunk 2077 pre-2.0 and want to play it to 100% again with all the major updates on my PS5 Pro. But I’m a sucker for trophies. It wouldn’t have been that hard for them to have made the ultimate edition have a new list like the Witcher 3’s Complete Edition/GotY had. But I’ve noticed a lot of games that have had regional stacks on the PS4 (FF7 Remake, Hades, Persona 5 Royal) do not have similar stacks on the PS5. Seems like easy money left on the table that some trophy hunters will easily bite at.
I’m playing The Great Ace Attorney 2. I’m at what I presume will be the final cross examination of Case 3. If it nails down Case 4 & 5, it’ll probably overtake AA3 as my favorite AA game. I’m hoping to finish this game before Hades 2 takes over my gaming life
I feel like I’ll love this game but I didn’t 100% click with Returnal despite it being a fantastic game. It looks like a Black Friday game for me… if they actually do good sales this time around
@HerlockSholmes damn, I cannot wait for this then. Usually I take breaks in-between Ace Attorney games but I loved Great Ace Attorney a ton. I’m hoping there’s more jury summations because that may be my favorite gameplay mechanic in all of Ace Attorney.
I’ll be all caught up after this one. Playing through AA1 through AA6, Investigations and Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for the first time has been a phenomenal experience.
@HerlockSholmes I just finished Great Ace Attorney 1. I’m heading onto the second game tonight and have to give props to your username. Best detective around 😎🧐
As someone who only got into Resident Evil in his late 20’s, I can see why it’s so successful and beloved. Capcom truly loves these games, the characters and the series as a whole. I’ve only played RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake (I double platinum’ed this one), RE4 Remake, RE7 and RE8 (I haven’t gotten through it. It’s not really the best RE game IMO), I can’t say I’m an expert or anything. But they’re usually such quality games with amazing replayability. You’re almost always getting your money’s worth when buying an RE game and that is a huge selling point.
I’m tempted to preorder just to support it. I don’t know if I’m gonna get to it immediately but it looks awesome. Capcom can easily just go back to pumping out Resident Evil & Monster Hunter so I hope Pragmata succeeds
For people who have played/are playing it, do you need to play RE8 for any real background information? I’ve gotten through the lake area in RE8 and said enough is enough. It became a slog so I dropped it. I’ve played and loved RE2, RE3, RE4 and RE7. RE8 just did not click with me
About to finish Yakuza Kiwami 3’s main game trophies. I wasn’t really thrilled with the remake. Was the original rough to play? Absolutely. But it’s clear that RGG wants to retcon a lot of characters’ fates. News flash: don’t kill off characters that you think could be fun/useful down the line. Only kill them off if you need to, it makes sense and you see no real future for them in the franchise. Leaving a character’s fate ambiguous is fine or lock ‘em up. Like RGG fumbled so damn hard killing off a great villain in the early games who could still be VERY relevant to this day. But no, let’s ass pull ***** here.
Overall, it’s a nice little remake. Onto playing Dark Ties hoping that changes my mind a bit.
Yep, knew people would vote abysmal just because of the controversy. It’s nowhere close to being abysmal. Is it perfect? No. Yakuza 3 was never perfect. But abysmal? Not even close.
I’m struggling to know if this game is for me or not. I loved RE2/RE3/RE4/RE7. But RE8? I just can’t complete it and not because it’s hard. It’s not. It just bores me.
I have to wait for reviews to know if it’s mandatory/highly recommended story-wise to play RE8 before this one because RE8 let me down big time.

Re: Final Fantasy X Turns 25 This Summer, as Square Enix Opens Special Website
I know a lot of people hate remakes but I think FFX & Square Enix would benefit from it here if they’re truly not doing FFIX (yes, there’s been leaks but nothing confirmed) nor FFVIII. FFVII Remake trilogy has been fantastic.

@HerlockSholmes I just finished Great Ace Attorney 1. I’m heading onto the second game tonight and have to give props to your username. Best detective around 😎🧐

Sorry Pragmata, Hades 2 just stole away all of my time coming up
Re: Congratulations to Resident Evil, 30 Years Old Today and Better Than Ever
As someone who only got into Resident Evil in his late 20’s, I can see why it’s so successful and beloved. Capcom truly loves these games, the characters and the series as a whole. I’ve only played RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake (I double platinum’ed this one), RE4 Remake, RE7 and RE8 (I haven’t gotten through it. It’s not really the best RE game IMO), I can’t say I’m an expert or anything. But they’re usually such quality games with amazing replayability. You’re almost always getting your money’s worth when buying an RE game and that is a huge selling point.
Re: Preview: I Think Pragmata Could Be PS5's Best Shooter Yet
I’m tempted to preorder just to support it. I don’t know if I’m gonna get to it immediately but it looks awesome. Capcom can easily just go back to pumping out Resident Evil & Monster Hunter so I hope Pragmata succeeds

Re: 'I'm Pro Sex Minigames': Former God of War Dev Backs PS5 Trilogy Remake to Keep Controversial Minigames
Imagine the sex mini-game having a trophy like the jump roping in FFIX.
“Babe, I promise I’m only having sex for the trophy… Yes, I know it’s been five hours… I swear I’m close… no, not like that damn it”.
Re: If You're Loving Resident Evil Requiem on PS5, There's a Good Chance You're Old
For people who have played/are playing it, do you need to play RE8 for any real background information? I’ve gotten through the lake area in RE8 and said enough is enough. It became a slog so I dropped it. I’ve played and loved RE2, RE3, RE4 and RE7. RE8 just did not click with me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 622
About to finish Yakuza Kiwami 3’s main game trophies. I wasn’t really thrilled with the remake. Was the original rough to play? Absolutely. But it’s clear that RGG wants to retcon a lot of characters’ fates. News flash: don’t kill off characters that you think could be fun/useful down the line. Only kill them off if you need to, it makes sense and you see no real future for them in the franchise. Leaving a character’s fate ambiguous is fine or lock ‘em up. Like RGG fumbled so damn hard killing off a great villain in the early games who could still be VERY relevant to this day. But no, let’s ass pull ***** here.
Overall, it’s a nice little remake. Onto playing Dark Ties hoping that changes my mind a bit.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties?
Yep, knew people would vote abysmal just because of the controversy. It’s nowhere close to being abysmal. Is it perfect? No. Yakuza 3 was never perfect. But abysmal? Not even close.
Re: Capcom Issues Reassurances as Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Leaks Run Rampant
I’m struggling to know if this game is for me or not. I loved RE2/RE3/RE4/RE7. But RE8? I just can’t complete it and not because it’s hard. It’s not. It just bores me.
I have to wait for reviews to know if it’s mandatory/highly recommended story-wise to play RE8 before this one because RE8 let me down big time.
