DogPark

@TechaNinja The whole point is you're not supposed to be finished playing them yet so you buy them after they leave the service. Does that work? I'd be interested in a report on that.

I'm just waiting to read why there's an astronaut in the PS5 version.

I never did figure out half of the dice and other japanese mini-games in Yakuza 0 but yet I still find myself planning on playing more of these games in the future. I have Kiwami 1 & 2 in my back catalog, so one of these days I will get back into it.

Hopefully they got some writers that can make appealing characters.

I have no real interest in playing the original Tomb Raider games again, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Anniversary over the original Tomb Raider. From the list I'd say Dragon's Dogma has my attention the most, cautiously optimistic.

I think it's OK for Spidey to get #1. I know it's not a factor in the process but if you think about it, intended audience should be a factor. BG3 is not for everyone, especially not kids, whereas Spiderman can be played by anyone of any age. Same for Alan Wake, horror games are just not going to appeal to majority audiences. So it's an accomplishment to make a great game that is playable by a broader audience.

So I've never played RE4 mostly because RE3 was so meh, it turned me off from the series. It's been a looooong time since I've played a RE title. I'm curious how a fan of RE4 would rate RE3 in comparison, if you can even remember, ha...

I'm working slowly, so so slowly, through Pillars of Eternity II with occasional breaks for the frame-rate plagued Lichdom: Battle Mage

It's rare that I'm interested in all 3 games for the month, and I haven't bought any of them, so I think this is a great month for Plus games. I enjoyed the first Plague Tale game but I hope they've toned down the violence against animals in this sequel.

My back catalog ruled this year. I finally got around to checking out Fallout 4, my first Fallout experience, and ended up sinking 343 hours into it. That's a lot for me, I usually move on before that many hours. Followed by Immortals: Fenyx Rising at 160 and Death Stranding Director's Cut at 126

I never found the original games to be scary. In fact, using your gun to cut off their limbs was pretty hilarious to me. Is the remake actually scary, do you still cut off their arms and legs?

I always viewed the original Kratos as a parody of masculinity. I laughed a lot at his lines in the first 3 games. Throw in the jokey sex minigames and you have what I thought was a fun beat-em-up game with a sense of humor.

Hooray! Death to the live service trend!

In Mr. Burns voice: "Release the alligators..."

I'm only going to try Power Wash because I genuinely don't understand the appeal and need to see what it is myself. A couple hours should do it. Yes, I could look at videos online but that isn't the same. I swore off the buggy Lego branded games a long while back and I don't think I'll be changing that point of view. Sable looks cool.

I am excited for this game because I loved the first, but I have to say the color palette of the screenshots so far are drab looking. The first game was very colorful and I'm missing that element in the screenshots I've seen so far.

I looked over the sale last night and was totally underwhelmed. I'll probably look again to make sure but don't think I'll be buying anything.

No one picked Control? I think it's still my favorite of the ps4 era.

Saying a prayer to the Single Player Gods right now...

I never knew the source material as a kid, but this main mech character and a few others were marketed as "shogun warriors" toys in the 70's in the US. They were 2 foot tall jointed plastic with various weapons that would not pass safety standards today. Like plastic missiles shooting out of the chest and one of the fists shot off as a ranged attack. This might have to be a nostalgia purchase for me!

I'm honestly surprised that Paladin is so popular. It must be the charisma link for dialog choices.

Do you still get to design a pawn that goes off into other player's adventures?

I loved the first game! Part of it's charm for me was the hilarious dialog of your companions, I hope that element remains. I also loved the online element where the second character you create goes off to other people's games and comes back with treasure. I still remember the first time I encounter a chimera just wandering around some woods at low level, I nearly dropped the controller (and died of course).

Loved controlling spider-man and the fighting system in the last game, didn't love the writing, skewed a little kiddo for me. Also, too many repetitive tasks to pad out the game. I'm still gonna play this one though, eventually.
