The First Descendant. I cannot put the game down for the life of me. Almost 200 hours in and close to getting an ultimate. Just need to farm like a madman. Plus 50% weapon exp boost so I need to get as much of that as I can because leveling weapons is a pain in the butt. Why am I addicted to this game!? Also hope to try to fit in some Astros Playroom to get those special bots before I start the new Astro Bot. But who am I kidding. I probably will put the little bit of free time I have in TFD. Sigh

“ While this is being billed as a remake by Dragami Games”.

@get2sammyb Is it? I remember they said they were going with just a remaster because “fans wanted that over a remake”.

Like most games these days, I’ll buy it when the complete edition is $20 in 2 years. I’m so far behind in games that unless it’s a PS Studios single player title, I rarely buy new games on release. Also had a feeling this game would come out and not set the world on fire so seems I’m not missing much.

Dang. I feel like it’s been cheaper but I’m excited for The Beast so I’m gonna have to buy this today

I never play online games but I’ve been stuck on The First Descendant for weeks now. Over 100 hours in and just got my 7th descendant. So that’s what I’ll be playing this weekend. This is the first online game that I’ve played since Destiny. My backlog between PS5, Xbox, and switch is insane and here I am doing nothing but playing this game. The addiction is strong.

Such a shame. This is one of the downsides started during the PS4 era. If your game didn’t sell millions AND wasn’t critically acclaimed, Sony wasn’t interested in a second chance in the IP or studio. The Order shall sit in the Sony vault til the end of time.

@RagnarLothbrok And he’ll use your comment as his source!

Czars joke just flying over peoples heads.

I like this game but man I regret buying it since I let my plus lapse because of the price hike. PS needs to go back to giving online play free.

They need to give us points for the purchases we made while it was down. I’ve seen people posting in the other article they not points. Anyone else in NA get points for purchases while it was down?

Man. All those people defending him in the first article about this sure got egg on their face.

I hope they’re brave and bold enough to call the sequel “Lords of the Fallen”.

@Fizza I just woke up so reading this made me think I was thrown back in time and that PoP game hadn’t been announced yet lmao. Had me so confused for a second.

I was so confused when I saw the Dead By Daylight title and what looked like Thanos in the thumbnail.

@Colt22 I agree with you but Horizon 1+2 has probably sold more than all of those games combined. It’s over 32million copies sold according to Wiki. All we can do is not buy the game (if it is real) and hope it sells bad so Sony can get the message that we don’t want remasters of games that clearly don’t need it.

@Weebleman Teardown was actually a PS+ Extra day 1 release. It wasn’t on essential.

@edgar14 Rumor is they’re making a remaster of Zero Dawn so if it’s true, they’re taking it off to get sales off of that. If they announce it anytime soon.

Andrew Wilson was the absolute worst person to take over EA from a consumer perspective.

@Zenos if you say so boy!

@naruball Judging by his past comments, he clearly has a vendetta against women so you can guess what kind of person he is. Ignore the troll.

Saw the trailer for it last night and wishlisted. Really like the look of it and comparing it to Steins;Gate is a big win for me as that’s my second favorite anime ever. Hopefully it’s good!

@WizzNL that’s not true. There’s plenty of trophies that are combat related and some are random things that you have to do. You have to go out of your way to get this platinum.

Well I’ll be waiting for the eventual rerelease of P6 so probably 2026 for me. I made it like 70 hours into P5 before burnout it and stopped, then bought P5R which I’ve yet to start. I’ll be surprised if I get to P5R by the time P6 comes out. So many games, so little time.

@SlipperyFish like I told someone above, I’ve been on rest mode since it came out on PS4. But those others showed me the light. Gonna start shutting my consoles down since I literally go days or weeks without touching them (not enough time to game anymore) and my area is prone to random outages. Save myself some electricity and also save my consoles from getting bricked.

@xDD90x I’m going to start shutting mine down. Just moved into a new place two months ago and power outages are apparently the norm in the neighborhood and I’m always like “I hope my ps5 doesn’t die from of these outages!” You would think I’d start shutting my systems down completely, no?

@nessisonett whoops. Skimmed the article and video said shut down so assumed it was a complete shut down. I leave it on rest mode. Been doing rest mode only since it came out in PS4. It’s just reflex at this point. Although I don’t have that much time for gaming anymore so I guess I should shut It down completely? Been two weeks since I played anything. I should probably do that.

People actually turn off their PS5 completely?

@Flaming_Kaiser it’s actually Austria. Not Australia

Life’s been so busy I still haven’t finished FF16. 😓 Hoping I can get a couple hours with it on Sunday. I know I’m close to the end because I have one more Eikon to obtain. Hopefully I’ll be finished with it in a week.

“But we’re even more excited to take away more games from PlayStation players.”

Can’t wait to see the games in my wishlist discounted at the same price as they are in every other sale.

Still making my way through FF16. Somewhere in the 50’s, percentage wise.

@3Above ah, thanks for that info! The frame drops were making me contemplate waiting a week or two to see if they patched it but if that’s the case, it should be good.

@tallythwack yeah I know. Them saying Game of Thrones was an inspiration pretty much prepared me for what’s to come. Won’t stop me from playing the game but I’ll shed an invisible tear every time a chocobo gets killed. 😢

@CaptD You’re welcome!

Don’t sound too excited Robert!! I’ll give FC6 a try. Been a while since I played a Far Cry game. Hopefully it isn’t terrible like FC5. Also will give Rogue Legacy 2 and Inscryption a try. Don’t imagine I’d care for them though. Especially Rogue Legacy 2 since I could never get passed the first boss in the first game.

Edit: That’s a HUGE update. Especially with titans like Peppa Pig. Pack it up Square and FFXVI. No point in even trying to compete.

The demo is what got me to preorder. I usually wait for reviews to preorder any game, (even first party games!) but I enjoyed the demo a lot. Only two negatives is the frame rate drops in the frame rate mode (hopefully it’s fixed when it comes out since it doesn’t seem like they’ll have a day one patch) and the fact that they hurt/murder animals way too much for my liking.

My birthday is coming up so looks like I’ll end up getting the VR2. I’ll definitely have to play this with it!

@RudeAnimat0r Staten Island doesn’t exist.

“Districts”. They’re called boroughs!

My bday is coming up and I’ve been thinking about getting one but man, I can’t in good conscience get one until there’s a big catalog of bigger games. I can’t believe they haven’t even ported some of their own first and second party VR games to VR2. I have a bunch of VR games I never got to play and I probably won’t ever get to play at this point.

@rusty82 how far did you get into 2? I’m not sure which comment you read but I disliked 2. I thought the first two episodes were really good but episodes 3-5 were hot garbage. The main characters were stuck in a cycle of making the same mistakes over and over again and never learned any lessons. By the start of episode 5, I just wanted it to end so I blitzed through it just to get the last bit of trophies. Then immediately deleted it.

@Andee The main characters suck. No character growth at all between them, especially the little kid. I absolutely hated him. You’re better off skipping it. When you’re ready for another cry, True Colors will be waiting for you!

@PenguinLtd The Artful Escape is a neat little game. It’s super colorful so it looks gorgeous throughout and had me grinning ear to ear for some of the “set pieces”. Has an easy platinum too if you care for trophies.

@Andee I played the first when it released and finally played Before the Storm and LIS2 in the past month after buying them years ago. BtS was good but I mostly hated LIS2. I only pushed through for the platinum. I liked the first 2 episodes but it dropped off a cliff for me on episode 3. But to answer your question, I’m enjoying True Colors. It’s a bit different from the previous games gameplay wise but I like the changes. Also, the game still retains the look of LiS but it looks so much better. Night and day difference compared to the previous games. I just finished episode 3 and really liked what they did in it. If you have Plus Extra, you can play it there.

PS5: Been playing through Life Is Strange True Colors. That first chapter ending ruined me. Also an easy platinum if you follow the guide. On my way to platinum 120! Also been playing the first Dead Island with my friend because it was $2 on the last sale. It’s awful but for some reason we continue to play it. Will begrudgingly play more on Sunday.

Switch: Been playing Paranormasight on my commute to work/lunch breaks. Haven’t touched it all week but will bring it tonight if I’m not too tired when I head out to work.

For a moment I was like Futurlab sounds familiar. Then read the first paragraph and was correct. Man do I miss the Velocity series.

I already own everything I would’ve been interested in. But I already have a ginormous backlog as it is between all 3 consoles so that just means I don’t have to add even MORE to what seems like a never ending pit.

Mega Man, which I’ll get for my Switch, Horizon, which is already preordered, and Star Wars, but I’ll wait for it to hit GamePass.

@StrawberryWave According to howlongtobeat.com, the main story takes about 6 hours.

“10/10” What a rookie rating. Lowest is 11/10 if you hate doggos. 12/10 is what doggo ratings actually start at!
