Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2025 Include Some Massive Names

I’m bummed I picked this up day one for $70 because I love the series, but the writing is so bad and cringeworthy constantly that I couldn’t get past 5 hours without putting it down for better games. I would’ve happily picked it up and played this through PS Plus though. These services can be great but also discourage full price purchases because of reasons like this.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 569

I finally finished up The Callisto Protocol this week and loved it towards the middle to the end. Final boss was a little weak. I think my plan is to plug away at some Yakuza 7 and Like A Dragon: Ishin! if I can find a chance. At night I’ll be probably lean towards Silent Hill 2 on the Portal. Feels nostalgic playing SH on a handheld. Reminds me of the PSP days.

Re: Ubisoft FPS XDefiant Shutting Down, Not Accepting New Players

This is a bummer for me as this game brought me back to the joy of early CoD multiplayer which kick started my passion for gaming in general as I was a casual gamer before. Feel like this one deserved at least a small community and team to keep it going. MAG is another gem of a game that was deeply loved by some but not enough apparently. I’m happy I’m getting a refund though for the starter pack. That is decent of them to do. And I’ve been playing this game regularly since launch and it keeps getting better.

Re: TV Show Review: Like a Dragon: Yakuza - Generic Japanese Crime Caper Doesn't Do SEGA Franchise Justice

This will be on while I play through Yakuza 5 on my Portal. I was so excited for this show because I recently got into Yakuza this year and have already played through Yakuza Zero all the up to Yakuza 5 which I’m working on. Also played Judgement this year. I had a bad feeling about this show after hearing the actor playing Kiryu never played the game. Whoever was involved with this should be replaced imo and RGG should be involved throughout the entire process. We need redemption. Think of Haruka.

Re: Repeated Reports of XDefiant PS5's Death Greatly Exaggerated, Says Dev

Doctor_BK

I have been playing XDefiant regularly since launch. Being a huge CoD fan back in the PS3/4 era I love hopping into a couple matches at the end of my gaming session. I’m only like level 36 I think but playing a round or two most days has been a blast. The UI is so much cleaner and neater than CoD’s heinous UI. It’s a stark contrast. It’s also very light on pushing spending especially for being a F2P game. Definitely recommend it for some free, quick, fun.

Re: PS5 Pro Prompts Sony's Disc Drive to Rocket Up the Charts

Doctor_BK

I picked one up for my PS5 Pro as I always buy games physically when available. I have even been picking up physical editions of games I already own digitally just in case I lose access one day. For example, Like A Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name was only released digitally is the US so I went and bought a physical Japanese copy from Play Asia. Call me crazy, but I like to revisit my old games when some time has passed.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reportedly Has a Co-Op Game Mode in Development

Doctor_BK

@LikelySatan I agree Black Flag is one of my least favorite AC games. I’d recommend giving Syndicate a shot as it’s definitely the most underrated and Valhalla is an epic Viking tale that happens to have assassins creed attached to it, you’ll enjoy it more if you just treat it like a big RPG. When I started doing that I really got into it.
