It really seems like such an no-brainer decision to re-release these games. It’s easy money.

I hope DQXII can get rolling sooner rather than later

SGA is a damn boring “superstar”. I get that this was the easy choice, but yeah

I finished Chapters 1 & 2 of Death Stranding and it took me 9 and 1/2 hours. I took my sweet time with it hoarding as many packages as I could find though.

Now, I’m taking a break and replaying Persona 3 Reload. Gonna do one “dungeon phase” at a time then take massive breaks in between tbh

Going to highly enjoy starting “Death Stranding 2” tonight after finally finishing & slogging through “Alone In The Dark”. That game was just meh to bleh IMO. DS2 should be a blast!

Square Enix should be able to do both. They’re more than capable of pulling that off. Just make a spin off series with the FF name that targets action like FF7R or turn-base then make the mainline games the other. And obviously keep going with FFXIV. Once FF7 Part 3 is finished, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have major changes to the way they go about FF in the future

I am now conflicted on buying this Day 1 or waiting for the community to build more strategically-placed structures before I begin. Seems like waiting may not matter if the natural disaster aspect can tear them all down 😂😂 I’m 100% playing the game; just don’t know if I’ll cave this week or next 😂😂

So if P4R was announced but not arriving until 2027+, what the hell does that mean for Persona 6 which hasn’t been announced? P6 has to be getting closer to a reveal by now.

Tons of questions now regarding this. Will they sink more money into this and try to make it work? Will they just can it? What happens to Bungie in either scenario above that results in a failure? If Bungie gets either bulldozed or resources significantly limited, is this Sony’s worst acquisition? Will Sony back off acquiring other devs because of this? Will Sony still desperately chase after live service games after literally losing billions of the acquisition proves unprofitable? Does Sony focus now shift to single player action-adventure games and they relocate assets that way? And many more questions. I’m not a live service shooter player myself so Marathon wasn’t interesting. But the ramifications of the game’s outcome was what intrigued me.

Bought it with probably my last PS Stars reward money. Who hit my first home run? The legend… Pablo Sanchez

Right when they said “other worlds” or whatever, I knew it was going to be Joker & Ichiban

Time travel detective game maybe? Could be wicked tbh. It would fill in the void of Judgment if they truly are just moving on from it (which I hope not 😭😭😭)

Like I’m not gonna play it, but that’s probably a damn fun MP game. I just don’t know many who are gamers plus my Internet is very moody

I’m pretty sure that was Chris Pratt

@Nepp67 yeah that’d be great. I’m not tryna rip on the game, but the loot system is such a turn off. If it had simplified the gear system into just one of a kind finds through exploration & fights and was less daunting/time consuming, it’d be an even better experience. But I’m sure Tom’s love their loot system and trying to optimize stats/builds that way

Is this a prequel? If it isn’t, I’m confused why they went MGS3 instead of 1 for a remake. I’ve never played any of them but the remake looks excellent regardless

The combat is fun in these games but the loot system is some of the worse in its field IMO. But I may be in the minority there. Still may give it a go because I’m a sucker though

Death Stranding 2 move over, Baby Steps is coming for ya one tumble down a mountain and into a volcano at a time

It felt more Uncharted than Hitman which I’m absolutely fine with. It should be excellent.

I hope they don’t abandon Hitman after 007 makes them a crap ton of money. Both would be amazing IPs to piggyback off of one another for the studio.

Cool cool. I’m hoping some actually big studio showcases something new though instead of everything we already know is coming. Horizon 3 tease maybe for a 2026 release? Something God of War? Insomniac Marvel update with Spidey or Wolverine (or better yet, Ratchet & Clank)? Uncharted remakes, side game or anything Intergalatic from Naughty Dog? Saros gameplay? Ghost of Yotei gameplay? I’ll take anything newish please 😭😭😭

I’m worried companies just push everything back to late 2026+ because of GTA6 only for it to be delayed to late 2026 and beyond.

Day 1 buy no matter what. Witcher 3 got me into the Witcher books so I’ll be forever grateful for that tbh. Plus, playing as Ciri is a dynamite decision if we didn’t have the choice to play as Geralt

Did the Cyberpunk 2077 release suck? Yes. But it was amazing later on so I feel like I still got my money’s worth anyways. I get people being hesitant on it but they did a ***** ton to repair that game. Only issue I have with them still is that they screwed people over who platinum’ed it before Update 2.0+. I would’ve loved to platinum it again so I’ll have to create a second account to play 2.0+ on the PS5 Pro

I’m holding off on DS2 at launch solely because I want to experience what the online community sets up in terms of zip lines and other stuff in the game. I feel like playing at launch as a person who sucks at setting that stuff up isn’t a good combo. It’s not like I won’t have to set up zip lines but at least having some to pave the way makes it easier :’)))

Replaying FF16 on Final Fantasy mode. Absolutely love Clive as a FF protagonist. Him & Cloud are probably my top 2. The Eikon fights are otherworldly beautiful on my LG G4

Pablo Sanchez is still my favorite baseball player to date

I’m pretty sure he just lives there at this point

I just want the Steelbook. I wish they sold those separately because I’d bite on that so damn fast. I pre-ordered the regular edition Day 1 and would’ve paid extra for a steelbook. I might’ve missed it if they did do that but yeah.

I’ve actually only played 5ish hours of the game. But… I decided to hold it off because updates/patches will make this game even smoother and better. I stopped before heading into the area with the Gestral Village. If I had kept going, there was no stopping me. I very rarely have the patience to hold off on games that have me 100000% interested, but I felt that Clair Obscur was absolutely worth waiting for the most optimal experience. I cannot blame anyone for going full force into this game as its story, music, world-building, combat and characters all seem “high level” to me. The art theme is also incredible too which opens up the door for hundreds (over-exaggerating but whatever) of sequels/games with a different art medium in any world

So, I want to experience Clair Obscur: Expeditio 33 when it’s closer to being fully patched. I’d also love if they fixed the lip sync before I started back up. But that won’t ruin my experience tbh

Not enough. I won’t be satisfied until they hit 80

Yeah I really wonder how this affects players who have beat the game on NG+. Will it be too easy for end game builds if it’s supposed to be played alongside the main game? I’m buying it regardless tho

I guess it’s technically a “shadow drop”. But the billions on trillions on gazillions of leaks were literally free advertising that hyped the game up. Most games that are shadow dropped do not have that insane build up for months. No shade to Bethesda because if it was planned, it was brilliantly executed.

A sequel with all the experience and feedback they’ve learned from the first game should be amazing. I’m all here for it 😎😎

These action games have long shelf lives. Plus it could go on gaming services and make money that way. They’ll be fine

Wonder if I could reroll a bit on mobile then still be able to use it on PS5 whenever that comes out? I have no clue how gachas on consoles work or if they even transfer

@MrPeanutbutterz nah, it’s fun to replay games with additional goals in mind. Stellar Blade is a game that’s super fun to 100% IMO

New trophy list plz 😭😭😭 I’d love to play this from scratch again

Steps to tell if a game is a Day One Purchase:

Step 1. It’s a new Naughty Dog IP/sequel
Step 2. Pre-Order the game
Step 3. Play the damn game

I remember sinking hours on end with these games on our family computer as a kid during rainy days. Good times

It’ll be nominated for sure. But I’d hold out on anyone saying (if they are) it’s an actual GOTY lock. Death Stranding 2 & Ghost of Yotei will most likely be immensely popular and well-crafted games

Expedition 33 deserves all the praise it’s getting though. Well done, Sandfall (slick studio name too)!

If it’s still good by then, why not? I very much enjoyed S1. Looking forward to S2 whenever it’s ready 😎😎

Development can mean so many things IMO. I’m sure they were cooking ideas in their noggins during GTA V

@IntrepidWombat I’d pay $100 for Persona 6 and wouldn’t even think once 😂😂 though you’re getting 100+ hours so $1 an hour is still an amazing hobby price IMO

I don’t care if people buy DLC cosmetics or anything. But these prices are excessive. It’s like the “whales”/big wallet spenders in some gacha games. They know those guys will always buy so they’re okay just shooting for the moon.

This may be my first ever GTA game but I’ll probably wait years to play it. I remember watching my brothers play when we were like 10 and their driving (if you can call it that) made me scared to get into my mom’s car for a week :’)))) good times

I’ll bite since I don’t have a black controller. I hope Ghost puts one out too closer to its release

I can’t blame any console maker for wanting marketing rights on this juggernaut in GTA. It will move enough systems & game copies itself to make any marketing investment financially rewarding

Oh, I thought it was going to be a collection of the first couple or few games? I would’ve been interested in that. No way am I buying an older remastered game like this unless it’s Final Fantasy or from Atlus. I’m sure it’ll sell very well, but I’ll wait for a heavy, heavy and even heavier sale

Dead Island 2. It’s a mindlessly fun game. Don’t go into it expecting “The Last of Us” story telling. But it’s enjoyable in its own ways

After seeing this, all I care about is seeing Astrobot brawl Agent Clank. If Sony made it a PPV event, Floyd Mayweather Jr. may come out of retirement to fight the victor

Love Uchikoshi and his wildness in regards to story telling. So it’s a bummer it didn’t launch on PS. Hopefully that changes in the near future! I’d be a Day 1 supporter tbh

Preordered it on Day One and it still was delayed 5 days. Received it though so I’m stoked. I’m always going to go physical copies and usually hold out on digital only releases or find a way around it. For example, for LAD: Gaiden, I bought a physical copy on PlayAsia. Glad this game will restock soon so more people have the opportunity to buy it physically!

Honestly the “leaks” were such great marketing that they didn’t need to pay for much if any. All video game media sites ate up every rumor so it was free advertising. That and the existing fanbase enabled it to shadowdrop. Props to them for the successful launch. They’ve probably made a buttload off of it

I’ve platinum’ed it once. I probably would’ve bought the DLC already if there were trophies. It would’ve been pretty simple just to put trophies in for defeating the new bosses. I get other Dark Souls games didn’t have them but Bloodborne did (give us a PS5 remaster/remake). I’ll get to both the DLC & PS4 platinum run for Elden Ring eventually.

But honestly? I’d rather double platinum Lies of P first. It may not be as great of a game but it’s got that Bloodborne vibe without being a 100% clone

Elden Ring is amazing though and deserves its flowers. No doubt about it! It’d be hard to just jump right back into the DLC after not playing it for years though
