Kind of an odd thing to do but no worries for me as I’ve got the physical copy. Still need to grab Yakuza Kiwami 1 physically though before that gets delisted as well.
I’m ecstatic. It’s nice to see the best Rockstar game finally coming to PS5. I’ve been itching to replay this game for months. Haven’t played it since release. I hope it gets a physical PS5 release even still because I want it for my collection and have many other games I’m currently working on.
Like everyone else here I’m excited for more than half of these games! Hoping I can get to all of them before they leave the service at a random inopportune time!
Ive loved the Ratchet and Clank series since was a kid so I’ll definitely be getting this! Don’t love the art style change but the gameplay looks frantic and fun! It’s hard to get me to play mobile games but with a controller they aren’t too bad.
@Toot1st I use my portal daily but I’m nearly blind without my scleral lenses which are a special contact lens that give me 20/20 vision I can only wear 8 hours a day. The portal allows me to see my games due to being able to bring the screen closer than my tv. I mostly game without my lenses at night and the Portal is essential for being able to enjoy my games. I was building quite a large Switch collection before I got a Portal. A lot of people don’t realize the varied reasons to use one. But that is the main reason I use mine on a regular basis. I also have chunks of downtime at work where I am able to play my Portal at my desk and it’s a fantastic feeling playing video games at work
I’ll be off most of the weekend hunting pheasants with my German short haired pointer, but managed to squeeze in a little bit of Vanquish last night. Ended up completing Act 2. What a fun game! Such a unique experience from Platinum Games. Surprised I missed this back on the PS3. Thank God for the remaster though!
Was hopeful for this game did well! Bought it day one to support the devs doing single player linear story games that respect your time. Glad it paid off for them! Excited for more Mafia games! Such a great series!
A 9/10 is fair but I think this one deserves ever so rare 10/10. I don’t see a flaw big enough to knock it down at all. Pure joy and excitement in this game from a primarily single player gamer for the last few years.
@get2sammyb I was one of those people that thought it wouldn’t work well when I first initially saw it but since getting it over a year ago it’s been a device I use daily and is one of my favorite gaming devices ever.
The only thing keeping me paying for PS Premium is the PS Portal streaming straight from the service beta. I use it often and am a huge fan of it. I do think it is overpriced though.
I feel like this fact is a no-brainer and common sense. People like shiny new things that remind them of their favorite past games. It makes so much more sense to invest a little bit more and make the old thing new again. People have a hard time adapting backwards, but nostalgia is such a strong emotion that can easily be leveraged for lots of moneys.
Redownloaded Fortnite for this after about a year and the map is amazingly well done! The players are sweaty as ever and sad to see my big team respawn battle mode is no where to be found. Don’t know if I’ll play this one much, but was nice to try out.
I don’t love when PS Extra games become PS Essential games. Find it kind of a slap in the face to those of us who have the higher tiers. That being said, didn’t care to play Stray then and may try it now but probably won’t.
Impulse bought this last night after hearing so many good things. Just played the tutorial and like it so far. Been wanting some more good quality third person shooters lately so hopefully this scratches that itch.
This is awesome! I use my Portal almost everyday and I do like streaming games directly to it via PS Premium. This would just increase my love of the device!
My brother and I purchased tickets for the February show in Seattle. Hoping that doesn’t get cancelled if it hasn’t already. Are people getting refunds at least?
@MrPeanutbutterz People have fun in different ways. There’s something satisfying about completing a trophy list for me and many others, no matter how hard or difficult.
2 of my rarest platinum trophies are Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice 2. Not hard platinums but very time consuming. This game’s platinum will be right at home next to those.
This is great to hear! Was planning on picking up the disc for this at launch and now I’ve got even more motivation to get my moneys worth out of the title!
Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game franchise and this is one that I never got to play! So hyped for this. Now we just need Soul Calibur 2 and 4 brought over too!
What are the odds they had trophies to this game? I want to play and experience it but itd be nice to pop some trophies along the way. Also, do you know if it will auto pop trophies later if i play now and complete their objectives prior to them being added? @ShogunRok
Wow, I still remember the very first WAYP 10 years ago! Crazy how time flies. I love this website and visit it multiple times a day. It’s great for people who don’t use social media imo. Thanks for the memories and consistency, Push Square staff! As for what I’m playing I’ll be out of town this weekend. I finished up my replay of Uncharted: Golden Abyss on the plane last night. Not sure what I will play on the way back though. Probably going to play some games I just recently picked up: Doom (2016) on Switch and/or Sword Art Online: Lost Song on Vita.
@Max_the_German I like the look of it too much and I have little toddlers that would break it quickly if it was being used regularly. Trying to preserve it as long as possible.
I loved the word ‘abilitease’. Brilliant. This review definitely makes me want to watch the anime. I tried the demo and it reminded me I’m not a fan of side scrollers but the cut scenes are terrific. Going to try and track down where to watch the show now.
I’m only halfway through the game and I’d give it a solid 7 at this point. So many positives to this game that are slightly overshadowed by the repetitive gameplay structure and layout. I don’t play Mafia games for the stealth. I think the game has leaned too heavily into that aspect and the realistically janky guns don’t help the game much either.
Hoping to finish up Robocop: Rogue City next week so I’ll be playing that as much as I can this weekend, which won’t be much. Loving the feel and atmosphere of this game a lot.
Excited for Banishers! That games been on my future games to play list since it released. Glad my large backlog can help me out by forcing me to wait to play it until it’s released on PS Plus.
I loved Gundslinger on Switch. Played and beat that last year. I have fond memories of Bound in Blood and never played the Cartel due to mixed reviews but now that I’m looking back I wish I had played it. I really love the two I’ve played and find them to be extremely fun and some of Techlands best work next to Dying Light.
I’m currently playing through Robocop and about 5 hours in. I am loving it so far and way more impressed with it than I thought I’d be. I feel like the reviews didn’t do this game justice. However, I also have Terminator: Resistance in my backlog and would like to complete that before taking on this DLC. I will likely pick it up in a year or two when it’s discounted as I’ve currently got so much to play. We’ll see how it compares to the base game.
I’m on vacation and the Portal is t working well on this shoddy lake house WiFi so I’ll be digging into Bayonetta 3 on the Switch. It’s surprising how much this game reminds me of Final Fantasy 16. Some of the boss fights are reminiscent of Eikon fights and I’m really happy to be finally playing this game.
I’ve played them all and InFamous: Second Son is by far my favorite. I’m probably bias though being from Seattle. The game blew me away when it released though and I platinumed it as soon as I could.
The game captures Seattle and the surrounding area at the beginning better than any other game I’ve played. Heavy Rain is a close second.
There is no good excuse to add Resistance 1 & 2 and then remove them so fast. And no one is a fan of less options. Removing games so players can “discover” new ones is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
