WOO!! I haven’t played the DLC from Tsushima so I started a new playthrough a few days ago to get to that and also in anticipation of this game. I’m playing it on my Pro and while I don’t think it has any upgrade for it, it still looks absolutely incredible. Just traveling the land on horseback and seeing the sunrise over the plains and all the grass swaying in the wind and the pollen and everything. Absolutely breathtaking. I see that and just think how the hell can they make Yotei look even better on a Pro. Sucker Punch is my fave dev so I’m super pumped for this.

Depending on the price, I might have to go for that collectors edition. I still need to at least get that mask from GoT someday. But it’s so expensive online.

I’ve finished RE4 Remake (I didn’t have a good time with that game (I think it’s overrated)). Never played the original so this was my first time with it. Finished the Separate Ways DLC. Also finished A Quiet Place The Road Ahead (I started this back when it came out), did my daily dose of The First Descendant, and just started God of War Valhalla. Been so long since I’ve played GOW that I don’t remember anything about combos or how to use runes.

Also played a bunch of demos. Karma The Dark World which seems interesting but i can’t do horror like I used to so I’ll watch a playthrough of it on YouTube. Tried Star Wars Outlaws and Stellar Blade. Graphically, Star Wars doesn’t look very good. Since the demo starts you off at who knows what point in the game, I was having a hard time figuring out the controls because it kinda just throws you in. Didn’t enjoy my time with it honestly. I’ll probably get it when it’s like $20 max still. Stellar Blade just also didn’t click with me. But that’s because I’m just bad at combo heavy games like this so another YouTube walkthrough it is.

Well I just checked and I have them. Ended up going with the Yotei one. It’s a neat little addition but like everyone else said, it’s pretty much entirely blocked by all the widgets so kind of useless.

@LikelySatan yeah I was big into GB during the 2010’s. Loved their content but slowly everyone left and Jeff Gerstmann being fired kind of broke the camels back. I only listened to the Jeff Jeff Bizarre Adventures podcast because that’s my favorite anime but even that wasn’t as consistent as I would’ve liked so I gave up on that eventually too. What annoys me the most is I understand Grubb has been in the industry a long time but half of what he says is just piggybacking off of rumors and the other half is him saying something that very much sounds like an opinion based on knowledge of the industry but he never says it is, so then it gets picked up as him saying something might happen and he doesn’t care to correct it and just continues to do the same thing. It’s a never ending cycle.

I’m a simple man. I see Jeff Grubb is a source for an article, I instantly stop reading.

Just bought this on the sale with 3 Sherlock games for $9. Wouldn’t have gotten to it anytime soon but glad it’s getting a free update.

I don’t want to know what goes on in that bed when he isn’t asleep. Those poor statues…

I would do bad things for a remaster/make of Puppeteer and Gravity Rush 1/2. I would do even worse things for sequels!!!

@Americansamurai1 @DonJorginho from what I remember during the Insomniac buyout, Sony now owns the Sunset Overdrive IP. So doubt anything will ever be done with that.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I don’t like the picture that appeared in my head after reading this.

Can’t believe it took a video game for people to discover naan. Absolutely wild (pun not intended).

Between work, a friends birthday, and upcoming exams, I’ll only have time to do my daily quests on The First Descendant so not much gaming for me this weekend unfortunately.

“Virtually giving it away” is quite the exaggeration, no? This is still kind of expensive. It was cheaper (350) when it was on sale during Christmas and even then was still too expensive imo. I got it for 260 on eBay which is a good price point. Anything higher than 300 AFTER TAX isn’t really worth it.

I hope it’s Golden they’re remaking. I never played a Persona game until Golden on my Vita and I was addicted to that game. Absolutely loved everything about it and it is in my top favorite games of all time so I would be there day one for a remake, as long as it’s Golden remade. If not, I’ll wait for the inevitable remake of Golden because Atlus.

@amatmulisha @RawnDawn @J-Dubs @rjejr It was originally being worked on by one man but he was able to open a studio a year after the reveal due to Sonys backing.

I’m very 50/50 with Dontnod games so glad this is launching on Extra. Now to just find the time to try it out is the hard part… Also good to know it looks great on Pro. Got myself one last week so been itching to put it through its paces. Have a bunch of games lined up to try out on it (Space Marine 2, FF Rebirth, and now this).

Ordered a Pro two days ago on eBay (for $200 less than market prices!) and it came in today. Unfortunately I’m at work and going to the movies after so I won’t be home to unpack it for another 8 hours. But I’ll be doing my usual First Descendant dailies and downloading games I was putting off due to wanting a Pro like Space Marine 2, Rebirth and Hogwarts. I’ll most likely be playing them in that order. Also hopefully fit in some VR2 time since I’m off Monday,

I upgraded back to premium last month after dropping it back in September and getting Essential in November. But only because I got a PSVR2 and Premium had a bunch of games for it. Made sense to upgrade instead of buy the games piecemeal.

Time to download Astro again!

Edit: A Pro patch huh? Guess I’ll wait. I have a feeling I’m going to fold and buy a Pro sometime in the next month.

I tapped out of Borderlands by the end of 2 but I’m kind of interested in this. But the characters are just so damn annoying in these games that I’m not entirely sure.

The trailer was drop dead gorgeous. I feel like I need to upgrade to a Pro because some of these games looked phenomenal but probably won’t look like that in a quality mode on my base PS5.

Thought this looked cool as hell. I love sci-fi and the techno music made it look more fun and frantic. Hopefully this is good and doesn’t disappoint. I could use another frantic Doom 2016 like game.

As i realized it was a trailer for Five Nights, I also had the thought that it wouldn’t be a SOP without a Five Nights trailer.

I usually think these state of plays are boring but this was the first one in a while that I thought was really good. Lots of exciting games to look forward to. Those of you complaining or saying it was awful are just impossible to please.

Man I hope not. I hate when games just decide to go the prequel route. Keep going forward but I also feel like God of War should just be out to rest. 2018 and Ragnarok were incredible and ended on a great note. Or just move forward with Atreus as the new lead. Let Kratos rest, man deserves it.

I’m not the type of person who says someone should lose their job and such but Jim and Herman really bungled this generation in terms of games. Hulst should really step down at this point. I get the need to have a cash cow and I won’t say they were entirely wrong for all these projects but the amount of money and time spent on so many projects is probably hurting internally. I wasn’t of the mind that this was a bad gen because it started off stellar but the last two years have really been bad. It’s not as bad personally since I have a backlog on all 3 consoles of like 200+ games but it’s hard not to be upset at Sonys lack of single player games these last two years. I know someone at Sony said recently that there’d be a steady stream of games coming out starting this year but with how wild game development can be, I won’t believe it until I see it. Sony really needs to step their game up.

@rjejr you’re not wrong. I was thinking a few days ago about how during the PS3 era we didn’t have to pay taxes on digital titles. Then either late ps3 or early ps4, the govt realized digital games were a thing and forced companies to start taxing us. Also, sales for us here on the east coast (NY represent!) won’t show up for us until 12.

Yeah. It’s a mess of a program but better than nothing. I wish they just automatically start the campaigns that you buy games for though. I bought Astro back on release and since I didn’t start it, I lost out on points. Had me kind of pissed.

Since launch, I’ve redeemed $70 in credits so not bad.

Besides my part time job doing daily stuff in The First Descendant, I’ll be heading into some virtual worlds. Grabbed a PSVR2 from eBay for $264 total. Upgraded to Plus Premium because it has a bunch of VR2 games free and bought a handful yesterday because they’re on sale. So I think I’m set for quite awhile. Started the Arizona Sunshine Remake last night. Remembered liking that on the original PSVR.

Infamous, Sly Cooper, and Resistance PLEASE SONY

I really need to stop buying games when they’re on sale.

@dskatter It was actually the founder of Arkane Studios that was whining about people giving low scores to Stalker.

@Mintie thanks for the tip! I’ll have to watch it asap before it gets wiped from YouTube too.

@thefourfoldroot1 Lol I know I want it because I had a blast with the first PSVR. I just can’t justify it unless I can get it for $300. I have all 3 consoles with a backlog of close to 200 games, work full time, and decided to go back to school in September so I barely have time for games these days. I put in an offer for one on eBay but it’s looking like the person isn’t going to respond before it expires.

@Mintie FYI apparently there’s a second season of Pantheon but it’s not on any streaming service. Seen enough people recommend this show so it’s gonna be a priority for me to watch but damn these companies for burying shows and needing to dig through the internet to watch them. Also if you haven’t seen Scavengers Reign, give it a watch on Netflix. It’s another fantastic animated show that got canceled by stupid suits.

Besides The First Descendant, I don’t know. So many games to play but so little time. I work this weekend so won’t have much play time so this coming week will be my days to play as I get off work early or have days off. Might get on A Space for the Unbound and attempt that soccer juggling mini game. I’m very interested in the story but my god do the mini games in it suuuuuuuck. What makes it worse is if you want the true/good ending, you have to complete all the mini games. Really puts me off from wanting to play it.

Also will pay bills and see if I get myself a VR2 since it’s $200 off. I really don’t need it but I want a shiny new gadget and it’s Christmas. I deserve it I guess??

Good thing I didn’t buy Ys X yet. The Ys series will now join any Atlus game in the “I’ll wait 2-3 years for an updated version to come out and go on sale for a few bucks” corner. Crazy how games can be updated with new content or DLC can be released but these JRPG devs rather make people buy their game a second time to get new content.

A very big show or not, I’m skipping again. It’s so long, the awards aren’t a focus, the scripts they read are super cringy, the same ads over and over are annoying, and the non-gaming stuff is either awful or just boring. I’ll catch up with whatever trailers they drop when push or pure post articles on them. I don’t know how this show breaks its own record in terms of viewers every year when it’s so bad.

I got 4 right and they were by accident so I know nothing. In my defense, I was 2 in 1994. Had a PlayStation 1 when I was probably like 5-6 but never beat anything because I was a kid.

@__jamiie The article isn’t misleading. Liam isn’t saying Astro has outsold those games. He’s saying Astro is selling more copies in the same amount of time (first 9 weeks) than the other games did in their first 9 weeks. Hence why he said “ across roughly the same timespan after launch.”

@themightyant How DARE you forget to include Concord in 2024!

Always sad when someone passes too soon but I’m glad they’re not just writing off or killing Sylens. I wasn’t happy with the way they just killed off Black Panther when Chadwick Boseman passed. He was great as him but Marvel could've easily recasted and avoided the mess that was Black Panther 2.

Good month. Haven’t cared about WWE games since I was a kid, I already played Dead Space and bought Doki on Switch but now I can platinum Dead Space and play Doki on my Portal and get trophies so I’m happy with those two games.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I picked it up probably like a year ago at this point and played for 5 mins a few months ago before I got distracted by who knows what. And lucky you! I had my girlfriend buy me a portal for my birthday in July but had I known the 30th anniversary one was coming, I would’ve waited to get it for Xmas. Tis what tis I suppose.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I figured you knew, I was only teasing. But I get your point. For me, I don’t care personally. I live with my girlfriend and usually show her a game that’s weird just to get the awkwardness of her just seeing me playing something weird out of the way. I actually started this on switch and showed her and explained what the game is actually about lmao. If you have a portal, this is the perfect game for that!

@Kidfunkadelic83 From what I heard, Doki Doki is actually a psychological horror. The cutesy exterior is a ruse!

I thought this was already announced a while ago?

Edit: It came out for the Switch. I thought it was all consoles.

@Nowings Actually, there has been other early access games. Dreams, Wayfinder, and I think Fortnite was technically early access on ps4.

Still not interested. Loved Zero Dawn but Forbidden West was enough Horizon for me until the next game. Plus my backlog is unbearably big so no time to put 60 hours into a game I already played.

@TheTraditional I thought you were trolling but holy h*ck you’re right. They’ll post on article about it in the morning I guess since it seems it was announced 2 hours ago which is overnight for the staff here. But man, I wish they’d bring Soul Sacrifice to PS5 too. Never got very far into either game but I’d try them again with a controller In hand.

8/10 as usual for me. Don’t care for Dragon age and Tales of Arise is in the backlog of doom so didn’t know those answers.
That said, how can everyone not know the name of Quantum Theory, the PS3 Gears killer! Shame on you all!
