@Yousef- I've enjoyed every LiS game to some extent, including Double Exposure. But returning to Max and Chloe gives me pause. I'd rather explore new characters, like with 2 (which was pretty good) and True Colors (which I loved).
@SodaPop6548 Same. Symphony of the Night is still one of my all time favorites and no other Castlevania has grabbed me the same way. I know this is unlikely to hit those highs but I'm excited to try.
@JohntheRaptor The way I play games shouldn't affect you in any way whatsoever. I'm not stagnant and my challenges come from real life. I go to games to relax and escape those challenges. If you need video games to feel a sense of accomplishment, that says more about you than me.
@DennisReynolds Same! It was hurting my soul when several people in the chat had never heard of her or were dissing her inclusion. Put some respect on Illyana's name, she's literally been around for 50 years. 😁
Is there any diversity in the music or is it the same two themes over and over and nauseum? This has been the death of previous DQ games for me. I absolutely cannot take that battle theme any more.
I played it for probably 15 to 20 hours. It was okay, but pretty boring by that point. I regretted paying full price. But I am a little surprised to see it shutting down.
Infinite Wealth is really, really great. I'll give A Quiet Place a run just for laughs. I'd like to try Village, but I haven't played Biohazard because I'm a coward with horror games.
13 is one of two mainline Final Fantasy games I never completed, the other being 8. I never played the sequels. Even as a big FF fan, I can't see myself going back to this.
Nothing for me unfortunately. The only one I would have been a interested in is Mickey, but I already tried it and got bored with it after a couple of hours.
I put about 60 hours into it and then my son wanted to play. Since there was inexplicably only one save slot and I had other things to play I let him start a new save. He bounced off of it and now I can't bring myself to start over. That single save decision was nuts.
I just recently tried it, and yeah. It's bad. The first couple of hours I thought, "I'm kind of having fun with this. It's not great, but I'll play through." Another hour or two later and it all fell apart. Clans don't matter. Dialogue doesn't matter. Combat and masquerade systems are a mess. The map is tiny. Quests are boring and there's no quest log to track anything. They should have recognized this as unreleasable and dropped it a long time ago. It's a shame because VTM is such a rich world to draw from.
Probably nothing for me, though I'm mulling finally picking up Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical from my wishlist. It looks like it will never go below $20.99.
I played it straight through on my day off yesterday, then almost immediately started another playthrough to make different choices. Top notch writing, acting, animation. Gameplay sections are simple but fun. Big twists and decisions. Hilarious and touching. Loved it.

Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2026 Announced
The only 2 games I would be interested in I already own. Decent stuff for others though I guess.
Re: Round Up: GreedFall 2 PS5 Reviews Suggest a Rough Start for the RPG Sequel
I enjoyed the first one okay, but I never want to hear the fictional native language again. Absolutely grating.
Re: Invincible VS Invites Everyone to Get Beaten to a Bloody Pulp in Its PS5 Open Beta
My girl Eve ftw.
Re: 7 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2026 Leaked Early
Went from mild excitement at rumors to utter disinterest at the reality.
Re: Star Wars: KOTOR PS5 Remake Exists and Is Still in Development, Dev Says
It will either never see the light of day, or it will be on par with VTM Bloodlines 2.
Re: PS5 Players Can Finally Explore This Award-Winning Xbox Gem
Great to hear, I was keen to give this a play.
Re: Opinion: If Sony's Doubling Down on Its Most Popular Franchises, Where's Uncharted?
@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr This is Lost Legacy erasure.
Personally, I'd love a new game with Cassie Drake in the lead.
Re: Here's Your First Look at the God of War TV Show
@BearsEatBeets Oh okay. Something just looks really off and I'm trying to pinpoint it.
Re: Here's Your First Look at the God of War TV Show
Is this real? Isn't the arrow on the wrong side of the bow?
Re: WB Games Is Bringing Back Its 'Biggest Franchises' Starting Next Year
@RoomWithaMoose Mommy Paramount now... 😱
Re: Turns Out You Can Access God of War: Sons of Sparta's Locked-Off Co-Op Mode Early
@ButterySmooth30FPS Didn't they probably only include this because people were upset though?
Re: Konami's Iconic X-Men Arcade Game Coming to PS5 Alongside Other Marvel Classics
Throw in the Genesis X-Men and Spider-Man and I'm there Day 1.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2026 Announced
Okay, so that's a bad month. Golf, an outdated MH, an ancient MMO. Happy for anyone excited about this group, but there is nothing here for me.
Re: 'If You Found It Boring, This Won't Change That': Starfield's PS5 Port to Be Revealed Soon, But Don't Expect Major Reinvention
I'm a sucker for space fantasy so I'll play it eventually, but they're not exactly selling it. I'll wait for a deep sale or maybe PS Plus.
Re: Is Crimson Desert an RPG? Weird Online Arguments Erupt as Dev Refuses to Call It One
@REALAIS Not my kind of game, no. I didn't say bad.
Re: Is Crimson Desert an RPG? Weird Online Arguments Erupt as Dev Refuses to Call It One
The statements on difficulty and genre have completely put me off it after being skeptical to begin with.
Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch

Re: PS5 Is Becoming a Really Great Place to Play Retro Games
I'm going to once again take this opportunity to ask for a Batman 8 and 16 bit collection. Who can make this happen?
Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
And I'm out. I play games for the escapism, not the challenge. But that's just me.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Story Will Continue in New HBO TV Show
@dskatter Larian has stated they have no interest in BG4 or working in that world again. They want to do original ideas.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Story Will Continue in New HBO TV Show
But if my snarky, aloof but good-hearted, pansexual bard isn't the lead character, then what's even the point?
Re: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (PS5) - A Tip-Top Remake of a Once Tedious RPG
Is there any diversity in the music or is it the same two themes over and over and nauseum? This has been the death of previous DQ games for me. I absolutely cannot take that battle theme any more.
Re: You Stupid Idiot! Retro Ren & Stimpy Games Are Coming to PS5
I'll consider this, but someone for the love of god get me a Batman 8 and 16 bit compilation.
Re: Larian Games Doing Better Than Ever Off the Back of Divinity Reveal
@Scottyy Early access helps it BE ready. Baldur's Gate 3 wouldn't be the masterpiece it was without the time it spent in early access.
Re: Amazon's PS5 MMORPG New World: Aeternum Delisted, Will Be Shut Down in 2027
I played it for probably 15 to 20 hours. It was okay, but pretty boring by that point. I regretted paying full price. But I am a little surprised to see it shutting down.
Re: 26 Under the Radar PS5 Games to Watch Out for in 2026
People of Note for me, but there are several that look intriguing.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for January 2026 Leaked
Infinite Wealth is really, really great. I'll give A Quiet Place a run just for laughs. I'd like to try Village, but I haven't played Biohazard because I'm a coward with horror games.
Re: Maybe There Is Still Hope for the Final Fantasy 13 Trilogy on PS5, After All
13 is one of two mainline Final Fantasy games I never completed, the other being 8. I never played the sequels. Even as a big FF fan, I can't see myself going back to this.
Re: High Fantasy FMV Romance Gets PS5, PS4's 2026 Off to a Strong Start
I honestly had a lot of dumb fun with Knowledge, or Know Lady, so I'll be checking this one out too.

Strike one for me.
Re: Fantasy Life i's Success Keeps Soaring After Free PS5, PS4 Update This Xmas
I put about 60 hours into it and then my son wanted to play. Since there was inexplicably only one save slot and I had other things to play I let him start a new save. He bounced off of it and now I can't bring myself to start over. That single save decision was nuts.

@Losermagnet2 Anyone complaining about a Dungeons & Dragons RPG being turn based is way off base.

@AdamNovice They're simultaneously working on some kind of scifi focused game.
Re: 30+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's The Game Awards Sale
Not seeing anything on the US store, a little after noon here. I wonder when it goes live.
Re: Deus Ex Remastered Delayed Indefinitely Following Fan Backlash
Good. Aspyr needs to stop being the go-to for these remasters because they've fumbled time and time again.
Re: Jaws' Infamous NES Adaptation Is Getting Ported to PS5, with All-New Features
Of all the great licensed games of the past, why this junk?
Re: Preview: Avatar PS5 Is Transformed in Third-Person, Expanded in From the Ashes DLC
@adge_uk Extremely wrong, yes.
Re: 'Not Enough Time, Not Enough Money': The Dismal Vampire Bloodlines 2 Was Doomed from the Start

Re: Dispatch's PS5 Platinum Is Currently Impossible to Get Thanks to One Bugged Trophy
Yeah, that's the main one stopping my Plat. The other is Fool's Luck which is pure RNG and a giant pain in the ass.
Re: PS Store's Enormous Black Friday Sale Set to Go Live 21st November
@Darude84 Yeah, now I'm confused about when the sale actually starts.
Re: Superhero Adventure Dispatch Projected to Hit Three-Year Sales Target in Three Months
Well deserved. I can't wait for a possible second season, and am really excited for the Critical Role game.
Re: Dispatch (PS5) - Interactive Superhero Show Is a Damn Good Time
I played it straight through on my day off yesterday, then almost immediately started another playthrough to make different choices. Top notch writing, acting, animation. Gameplay sections are simple but fun. Big twists and decisions. Hilarious and touching. Loved it.
Re: Dispatch Season 2 Seems Inevitable, But Dev's Only Just Starting to 'Think About' It
So excited for their Critical Role project. I can't believe it's taken this long to get a game off the ground.
Re: Dispatch Proves the Telltale Model Can Still Work, Sells 1 Million Copies
I'm really looking forward to having a go, but I'm waiting until it's complete to pick it up. Looks right up my alley though.
