I was waiting until today to pick this up and now Amazon is sold out and my GameStop isn’t getting more copies until next week. I only buy physical games when available so now I’m stuck waiting to play this. I didn’t expect it to be this big. Congrats to the team!

Jade has a great track record, but the game is more than just its’ leader. I’m not going to worry about it until we’ve seen actual gameplay. The pressure to succeed probably feels much higher now though since Concord’s failure.

As a big Dragon Age fan, I don’t see this game toppling Rebirth this year. I will continue to hope for a return to Dragon Age: Origins style or at least a faithful remake. I’ll definitely be playing this though as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all three DA games so far.

I feel honored to be in 2nd behind Sammy on the leaderboards currently. I’m sure it’ll change. Remember Me was underrated.

I just don’t see this competing against Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals, Valorant, XDefiant, and Warzone. High-budget, free to play, half decent games with huge fan bases already. Concord was up against some Goliaths and PlayStation didn’t realize they had.a David on their side with no spirit or soul.

Finishing up FF7 Reburth! What a ride. Definitely my GOTY so far this year! Some Yakuza 4 afterwards 👍🏻

@VaultGuy415 I couldn’t get past the ten hour mark. Just too boring. I loved the first game though, thought it was paced perfectly. TLoU Part 2 felt like an Oscar nominated movie that no one actually liked.

@freddquadros I’m also currently playing Yakuza 4 as well, but still on the first chapter.

In between sessions of that I’ll be playing FFVII Rebirth, just started chapter 12 so I’ll hopefully finish that up next week. Also, dipping into my old playthrough of AC: Valhalla I never finished but have about 50 hours logged. Hoping to finish that before September hits. Trying to squeeze in some arcade shooting every few days as well with XDefiant and MWIII: Modern Warfare 3 (2023)

@DennisReynolds Green Arrow is awesome 🧑‍🎤🏹

Definitely holding out for the physical version of this game as I’m predicting I’m going to love it when I finally get my hands on it.

@Th3solution amen to that

@nessisonett well said

@DennisReynolds bruh

@UltimateOtaku91 Lol, Push Square is just reporting the facts

@DennisReynolds 😂

I still have some Game Informer magazines with covers like Halo 3, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and the 20th anniversary of PlayStation cover. I loved reading them as a kid. I think I’m going to go to GameStop today and buy whatever magazines they’ve got left.

Sounds like it’ll be much different from the games. Knowing that I’ll hopefully not be disappointed by it. But probably still will…

@Scottyy idk I think it’s better than skipping them

Been playing Final Fantasy: Rebirth after finishing up Yakuza 3 Remastered and Resistance: Retribution (PS5) recently. I’ve also been dipping into Yakuza 4 Remastered, XDefiant, and MW3 multiplayer.

The gorilla animality where he breaks the jaw open is an ode to Peter Jackson’s King Kong where he does that to the T-Rex, and they show the T-Rex skeleton animality right after! Haha. Netherrealm excels at making trailers.

I’m not expecting a performance from the actor playing Kiryu to be as good as the real thing but I hope he resembles him just a little in his personality. Other than that, I think the show looks great.

Movement looks floaty like Destiny 2’s multiplayer but with less space magic. I think this misses the mark in terms of flashy-looking gameplay. These snippets of gameplay make me want to play the game less because it just looks so slow and kinda boring. The character designs just feel like they are trying too hard to appeal to a specific demographic and that demographic is not me. This is coming from a big GotG and Marvel fan.

@Scottyy I’ve been playing through the Yakuza games this year. Started with Kiwami and have played through Zero, 1, 2, 3 and Judgement. The only games that are longer than 20 hours of those are Zero and Judgement. The Yakuza games are actually short if you mainline them.

I’m excited for this game despite not watching much at all and keeping my head down about it. I’m hopeful it’s a decent 8/10 open world Star Wars game with some pleasant surprises mixed in. If it’s evenclose to the quality of the Jedi Survivor games then we’ll be fine.

@colonelkilgore absolutely my thoughts as well

Got a lot of Fortnite fans in the comments section haha. I think it looks sweet though and I’m surprised so many people are mad about a car.

I’m hoping for Binary Domain 2 with a remaster of the first game. I think it’ll actually be Judgement 3.

Just finished up Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty after starting that game about 2 and a half years ago. Glad I played it but happy to have it crossed off my backlog. I’ve entered the final chapter in Jedi Survivor today so I’ll be finishing that up this weekend. Next week I’ll be focusing on making some progress in Yakuza 3 and recently picked up MW3 (2023) so I could play the OG MW2 maps again. Nostalgia got me on this one. I really prefer the gunplay in CoD over XDefiant but I prefer the movement and color palette of XDefiant. Guess I’ll be playing both for awhile for my FPS fix.

My prediction is they are going to try a souls like gameplay style next but I don’t want them to. I hope they go back to the brawler style gameplay with some refinements.

Picked up The Ori Collection on Swith along with Black Ops: Declassified and FFX on Vita. So I’ll be dipping into those. I need to get some rounds of XDefiant in as well as dabble a little in The First Descendant and play as Geralt of Rivia. Also, I’ll likely plow through the final few missions in Jedi Survivor. Going to be a busy weekend!

Had the deluxe edition of the original on PS3 but only put about 4 hours into it. The trailer makes me want to revisit this with the physical copy in November.

@nomither6 I wouldn’t mind either. I personally really enjoyed the remake

Never played it and was never interested in playing it until I played Hi-Fi Rush. Honestly though I’d still rather have the Resistance games remade or remastered over this any day. Heck, I’d even take remakes of the Ratchet and Clank games first too. Maybe Somy could hire a different team to bring Insomniac’s games to PS4/PS5.

Looks like Gears of War meets Days Gone meets Outriders

I’m excited to see what’s next for XDefiant! I hope it’s a look at what’s next. I’m assuming it is but I suppose it could be a celebration of the successful launch.

Fantastic shooter to pick up and play a match or two then hop off to something else. I see myself playing this game on and off for many years.

Definitely playing some more XDefiant as I’m loving the old school CoD feel of the gameplay and maps. The yakuza series still has me hooked so more of Kiwami 2 and 7 are definitely on the docket for the Portal this weekend.

@Ravix AC: Unity is extremely underrated imo. I’d love a sequel to it.

Really surprised at how much I’m enjoying this game. I was a huge CoD4 and MW2 player back in the day and this game brings me back to those times. I’m excited to play this for years to come and hopefully it catches on and is supported. The lack of SBMM is such a relief and makes the matches way more varied and entertaining compared to modern CoD.

Just finished chapter 5 of Yakuza Kiwami 2 so I’m starting the Majima saga. Really loving this game so far and don’t feel like playing much else. I just picked up Granblue Fantasy Relink and might start that up as I’ve been looking forward to playing it since the demo came out. Also plan on playing some Remnant 2 and Helldivers 2 with a buddy this weekend. Such great co-op games. Should be a good time.

Looks amazing. Like fight night round 5

@Jaz007 boo, I love Dragon Age: Origins gameplay and felt like it was way more fun and interesting than any ‘TTRPG’ I’d ever played. I’m way more hyped for this game now.

I love playing third person action games on my Portal as I feel the slight delay is completely unnoticeable most of the time. I stay away from FPS games as those seem to be less snappy especially Destiny. However, Cyberpunk works really well though. Yakuza has been my favorite game to play on the device. Played through Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1, Judgment, and now I’m working on Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 7 simultaneously. These have been my favorite Portal games so far. The style of these games feel awesome to play in the handheld format.

After finishing FFXVI a few WAYP’s back I can’t seem to stick to a game. I have been bouncing around between Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 7, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Jedi Survivor. I want to try to stick to one this weekend, but we’ll see how that goes.

@Enigk I was looking for this comment

I finally finished the Outriders campaign after taking a year off from it. Pretty fun but average game overall. Started Yakuza: Like a Dragon up again and I’m really enjoying it. Also still playing Resistance: Retribution primarily on the Portal. A couple of minutes here and there of MvC: Infinite’s story mode whenever my kids say “daddy play Spider-Man”. Some Freedom Wars on toilet.

PC players are betas

Looking forward to a Halo/Last of Us tv show crossover

I just don’t have time for these longer games and I think a lot of people have open-world fatigue right now. Linear games are what I’m focusing on right now and it helps me to be able to complete more games.
