Coolcoolcool. I'll definitely pick it up, but I've got a few to work through, so I may just wait for the first price dip. Glad to hear it turned out well.
I just started Lost in Random, and am working on my second playthrough of FF7 Remake, PS5 version this time. On the board game side, I'm wrapping up my first campaign of Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth.
Hold up, was Outcast acclaimed? I'd been curious when it hit sub five bucks on sales in the past, but reviews seemed pretty critical. Was it just the PS4 version that was bad?
@Enuo I'm pretty certain he won't. I think only Viacom has licensing rights at this point. It may be worth looking into, though. UPDATE: Yeah, no worries, he's completely cut off from the property.
I generally have trouble completing Tales games. I usually hit the 15-20 hour mark and stop caring. I'll watch for a price drop on this one. I'm currently wrapping up Ys IX, which - like Lacrimosa of Dana before it - is fantastic.
@Nepp67 Yeah, you've hit on one of my favorite past times: lying about which Saints Row games I've played. 🙄 Most of those things you're talking about are story beats, which of course they're not talking about here. I'm talking gameplay. But you have your opinion, I have mine.
@Nepp67 I've played through the entire series. 1 is the only one that took itself even remotely seriously. This one looks like it's closer in tone to 2, which I think was absolutely the best one, so that sounds good to me. I just think it's funny how quickly some people are ready to break out the torches.
People are weird. This looks fantastic, and there was nowhere else to take the series after the kitchen sink approach to the world in IV. A reboot makes perfect sense.
I'm in, because I'm a nerd about Marvel, but the pacing of these cut scenes is really off. I feel like everything should be moving a little quicker, dialogue included.
I'm nearing the end of this on Switch. It's short, but interesting, and fun to "work with" Osgood. To add my two cents to the other discourse, I like Jodie's Doctor, but haven't found the storytelling to be very good. I felt the same with the Twelfth.
I loved both games, especially, and apparently against popular opinion, The Fractured But Whole. I'll be curious to see what direction this takes. And I haven't watched the show in a decade.
@Perryg92 And on the subject of Disney+, it would be nice to actually be able to watch movies in 4k on my 4k console through my 4k TV. But nope. The app doesn't support 4k on PS5. I have to go through my Smart TV, which is buggy. Infuriating.
Are they still going through with making it take even longer to level? I wouldn't mind going through the campaign again on PS5 or taking T'Challa and Clint for a spin, but not if leveling is even MORE of an obnoxious grind.
@The_Pixel_King Oh man, I'll have to look into that. I was planning on picking it up for my Switch Lite.
Edit: OK, yeah, and also bugs and glitches. PS5 it is.
I'm old enough to remember a time BEFORE Blockbuster, when video stores were all just local places. Waxworks and Movie Warehouse. Blockbuster kind of ruined video stores for me.

Re: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Looks Like a Total Cheese Fest
I'm down, looks fun. I like Kaya Scodelario and Robbie Amell just fine, and love Tom Hopper and Hannah John-Kamen.
Itchy. Tasty.
Re: GTA Trilogy Trophy Art Leaks Online, References in Rockstar Launcher
I hope this turns out well. I'd love to give Vice City and San Andreas another go.
Re: Who You Gonna Call? IllFonic for a New Ghostbusters PS5, PS4 Game
I don't need it to be amazing. I just need it to be playable. Anything else is gravy.
Re: PS Plus Games for October 2021 Are Available Now on PS5, PS4
I've owned MKXL for years and don't care for the other two. Maybe next month. But probably not.
Re: Alan Wake Remastered (PS5) - Compelling Thriller Derailed by Tedious, Repetitive Combat
Yeesh. I may still pick it on the cheap one day, but this makes it sound like exactly the kind of game I'd find frustrating.
Re: Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One Can Turn Combat Off, But Here's What You Miss
Combat absolutely ruined The Sinking City. Can they patch that out now?
Re: PS Plus October 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Boooooooooo. I mean, if you're into it, awesome. But I think I'm done with PS Plus.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Kena: Bridge of Spirits?
Just waiting on a slight price drop as I've already got a backlog, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus October 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Have Leaked
Ugh, another month of not even adding anything to the library. I expect nothing else at this point.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5) - A Gorgeous Adventure with an Old-School Approach
Coolcoolcool. I'll definitely pick it up, but I've got a few to work through, so I may just wait for the first price dip. Glad to hear it turned out well.
Re: Swery's Bizarre New Game The Good Life Hits PS4 Next Month
I hate the look of this, but I'm intrigued by the setup and gameplay.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Grabs Physical Version in November
I'll check out reviews and still pick it up digitally. Really cautiously optimistic about this one.

Re: Ren & Stimpy Join the Roster of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl on PS5, PS4
@Enuo I'm pretty certain he won't. I think only Viacom has licensing rights at this point. It may be worth looking into, though. UPDATE: Yeah, no worries, he's completely cut off from the property.
Re: Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives
Great. No holding back.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Brings Venom to PS5 in 2023
2023? Man, why even talk about it right now?
Re: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Confirmed for PS5
Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time. I can't wait.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Looks Surprisingly Technical in Gameplay Breakdown
@Dragonaged I'd be on that like gravy on biscuits.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Looks Surprisingly Technical in Gameplay Breakdown
Just please don't mimic the controls. They were the reason I could never get into Smash.
Re: Tales of Arise (PS5) - A Fantastic JRPG, and the Strongest Tales Game in a Long Time
I generally have trouble completing Tales games. I usually hit the 15-20 hour mark and stop caring. I'll watch for a price drop on this one. I'm currently wrapping up Ys IX, which - like Lacrimosa of Dana before it - is fantastic.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Shares How It Plays in First Gameplay Footage
Well, that's a massive letdown. I'm honestly pretty surprised it made it this far into development.

Re: Aliens: Fireteam Elite (PS5) - Competent Co-Op That Entertains But Is At Odds with Itself
Seems pretty close to the general consensus. I'll pick it up one day as a franchise fan, but it's going to need to be sub-$25.
Re: Dino Park Builder Jurassic World Evolution 2 Bites PS5, PS4 on 9th November
I loved the first game, but there's plenty of room for improvement. Larger park areas and rides please!
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's New Gameplay Trailer Will Make You Grin
GIVE. IT. TO. MEEEEE!
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Release Date Set for February 2022 on PS5, PS4
That's honestly sooner than I expected. Looks great.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Gets 60FPS Patch on PS5, Available Now
Sweet! I'm only about 1/3 of the way through my replay, so this is very welcome. I think I'll boot it up tonight in point of fact.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Is XCOM Team's Take on the Superhero Universe
I feel like this may be more of an Ultimate Alliance successor than X-Com. I'm down for either.
Re: Here's Another Brief Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Cut-Scene
I'm in, because I'm a nerd about Marvel, but the pacing of these cut scenes is really off. I feel like everything should be moving a little quicker, dialogue included.
Re: Round Up: Psychonauts 2 Reviews Love the Wacky New Adventure
This looks great. I wish we could get a remaster of the original. The PS2 version on PS4 is rough stuff.
Re: New Saints Row Game Reveal Teased for Gamescom Opening Night Live
@Ken_Kaniff I feel like the over-the-top zaniness is what set it apart from GTA.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Comes Out of Hiding at Gamescom Opening Night Live
It's about damn time.
Re: New Saints Row Game Reveal Teased for Gamescom Opening Night Live
It could use a reboot. I really enjoyed 1-3 (with 2 being the clear best), but found 4 really tiresome and just not fun. Looking forward to this.
Re: Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins Brings Mobile Mystery to PS4
I'm nearing the end of this on Switch. It's short, but interesting, and fun to "work with" Osgood. To add my two cents to the other discourse, I like Jodie's Doctor, but haven't found the storytelling to be very good. I felt the same with the Twelfth.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Details Leave a Lot to Be Desired
There is no way the PS5 upgrades for either Cyberpunk or Witcher drop this year. I can't decide whether I care or not.
Re: Become a Local Radio Station DJ in Life Is Strange: True Colors' Wavelengths DLC
I really can't wait for this. LiS 2 was a minor stumble but still good, and I love 1 and Before the Storm. Seeing Steph again will be great.
Re: A New South Park Game Is Coming, and It's 3D
I loved both games, especially, and apparently against popular opinion, The Fractured But Whole. I'll be curious to see what direction this takes. And I haven't watched the show in a decade.
Re: The Forgotten City (PS5) - Skyrim Mod Turned Full Game Tells a Good Story
This wasn't even on my radar, but sounds right up my alley. I'll check it out for sure.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Delay Rumours are Doing the Rounds, But It's All Speculation
@PossibLeigh That's a good point. She either had no interest in or no time for that BS.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Delay Rumours are Doing the Rounds, But It's All Speculation
@nessisonett "Turned"? My Aloy was already gay. If only I'd had some romance options to act on it.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Firmware Will Display Trophy Lists Vertically
@Perryg92 Yeah, it absolutely wasn't fixed. Nothing is listed in 4k. I might try to reinstall the app, though I've got a feeling it won't change.

Re: Stray Is Looking Purr-fect in PS5, PS4 Gameplay Showcase
Cats and robots. Day one.
Re: Marvel's Avengers' Free Black Panther Add-On Claws 17th August PS5, PS4 Release Date

Re: PS5's Abandoned App Pre-Loads This Week, So Here's a Man with an Eyepatch
@Danloaded This is the only thing that would interest me at this point.
Re: Mini Review: Cris Tales (PS5) - Enchanting RPG Inspired By the Classics
@The_Pixel_King Oh man, I'll have to look into that. I was planning on picking it up for my Switch Lite.
Edit: OK, yeah, and also bugs and glitches. PS5 it is.
Re: The Last Video Store Is Pure PSVR Nostalgia Inspired by Blockbuster
