@VeldinX How are they the same thing? They're totally different... "Nope, it's overpriced now" = post-increase "No, it was already too expensive" = pre-increase
Another reason that the VITA is a beast of a console is the fact that it's also a Trails-machine, with a total of 7 Trails games being available on it: The Sky Evolution trilogy, Crossbell Evolution duology, and Cold Steel I & II. I'm thankful I managed to discover this gem of a JRPG series thanks to my VITA.
I don't get why MGS3 is getting the remake treatment when all fans have been wanting to see for decades is the beginning of Solid Snake's legendary career in the original MSX Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 remade in today's graphics and gameplay...
4/10, only got the Persona, Mortal Kombat, Yakuza, and FF questions right, having actually played them...Never played the games mentioned in the other 6 unfortunately.
@Kraven Hey, nice to chat to a fellow Trails aficionado!
I know exactly how those saying the game is only 40-50 hours long "play" the game: skipping all cutscenes, not bothering to do sidequests, not talking to NPCs... It's sad, really, as that is exactly the opposite of how a Trails game is enjoyed. Imho, no other gaming series has such a solid cast of characters, worldbuilding and lore.
Sorry to hear about you having to take a break, hope you can resume it soon no problem and enjoy the next chapters even more!
Not a given. Look at the originally digital-only Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. There will always be a numerous number of physical enthusiasts refusing to give in to the farce of forced digital purchases.
This next, next, next Trails game is the 13th title of the series. Let that sink in. I'd love a Trails in the Sky Trilogy remaster since they're the only 3 of the 13 not available on recent consoles, but that seems to have been cancelled by Falcom.
@feral1975 Man oh man, been ages since I saw such pathetic attempts at trolling.
I've had my Portal for 2 months and the only annoying part was setting up port forwarding on my router and creating a static IP address for my PS5. Worked like a charm at home and even abroad since then.
I don't get these devs trying to make a game as hard as possible. A game should by default be at a standard difficulty with options to make it more difficult or more easy, not hard by default with just options to make it easier.
Managed to get many hours of enjoyment playing Rebirth and Unicorn Overlord remotely via the Portal. Of course, I had to configure router settings to get it working outside of my home connection (setting up a dedicated backport) but it was all worthwhile!
Good month. Reminds me of FIFA 22 being given as an Essential title 2 years ago also in May. I'd never buy those sports games but I enjoy playing them from time to time. Tunic is the highlight of the month, amazing title.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
Visions of Mana, such a lovely game. Will buy Astrobot once I've completed it.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: PS5 Finally Hits 6 Million, Gundam Breaker 4 and Visions of Mana Make Top 10
Loving Visions of Mana, great to see it in the top 10. And Emio is one of the best visual novels I've ever played, so glad to see it there too.
Re: Soapbox: Astro's Playroom PS5 Did Live Service and You Didn't Even Notice
Nah. The Special Bots are more akin to free DLC, with their own separate trophy set.
Re: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (PS4) - Solid Spin-off Series Is Probably Just for Existing Fans
"Too talky for its own good" for a visual novel is the equivalent of "too much shooting" in a FPS game. 0 logic in that con.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 544
Spider-Man 2, nearly all wrapped up with the story and platinum trophy

Re: Fill the Advance Wars-Shaped Hole in Your Heart with Warside on PS5, PS4
Very puzzled they managed to get so far as releasing a trailer without receiving a cease and desist...
Re: Incredible Looking Trails in the Sky Remake Is Real, But PS5, PS4 Players Will Have to Wait

Re: Rumour: Sony Paying Close Attention to Handheld Market After PS Portal's Shock Success
I love the VITA, it's my favourite handheld console of all time. A successor would be amazing.
Re: Preview: PS5's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Is a Fiercely Loyal Remake
I don't get why MGS3 is getting the remake treatment when all fans have been wanting to see for decades is the beginning of Solid Snake's legendary career in the original MSX Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 remade in today's graphics and gameplay...
Re: Atlus Really Doesn't Want You to Know Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Coming to PS5
Since they want to ostracize PlayStation players, then so be it. Hopefully this game will flop hard, as that seems to be their aim here.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Concord?
Looks like I'm part of the three-quarters who have 0 interest in this game.
Re: Preview: Broken Sword Is Back in the Most Passionate Remaster Possible
Looking good, quite excited for this. Discovered this series with Serpent's Curse which was offered as PS+ game a few years back, loved it.
Re: Xbox's Sea of Thieves Has Apparently Shipped Over 1 Million Copies on PS5
@GADG3Tx87 I completely agree, but, in this game, you explore an open world via a pirate ship... Get it?
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
Nah, I'm not sure about the game yet.
Considering most people are saying it's GoW-Souls hybrid, not my cup of tea.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 25
Question 2 is incorrect. There are actually 9 playable characters in Until Dawn.
Re: Until Dawn PS5 Is Priced at $60 / £60
Good to see 90% of Pushsquare readers have common sense.
Re: Poll: Have You Pre-Ordered an Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller?
For those in the UK who missed out and don't want to get one via those despicable scalpers:

They still have some available to preorder, although there's a £4 delivery cost

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 540
Trails through Daybreak. Brilliant game, over 80 hours in and still only on Chapter 3.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 23
Urgh, a 6, I'm disappointed

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?
Amazing game, my favourite FF. Plan on doing a second playthrough towards the end of the year along with the DLCs.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?
Can't stand Soulsborne games, so 0 interest from me
Re: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Brings Miles Edgeworth Spin-Offs to PS4
AAI2 is the best game of the Ace Attorney series. Glad to see the last game that was officially locked to Japan now coming West.
Re: Random: Euro 2024's Italy Manager Insists His Squad Isn't Banned from PS5
"putting them joint-top of Group B after one game"
They're not joint-top though, they're second. Spain is clear at the top on account of having a Goal Difference of 3 as opposed to Italy's 1.
Re: Hands On: Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Already a Contender for RPG of the Year
@UltimateOtaku91 Trails through Daybreak too
Re: Horror Hit Alan Wake 2 Is Getting a Retail PS5 Release Because You Wouldn't Shut Up About It

Re: Astro's Playroom PS5 Gets New Update, New Trophies Out of Nowhere
Instant redownload! Wait, hang on, it's actually the first time I'm downloading it since it was already installed on the PS5 when I first bought it !
Re: Mini Review: Horizon Chase 2 (PS5) - Around the World in 80 Revs

Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic
Persona 5 is the JRPG equivalent of GTA 5 in terms of having been milked to death
Re: Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Gets an Updated 'Plus' Version on PS5 in October
Awesome! Another Switch exclusive that comes to PS5 after Shin Megami Tensei V!
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Might Be a Much Harder RPG Than We Realise
I don't get these devs trying to make a game as hard as possible. A game should by default be at a standard difficulty with options to make it more difficult or more easy, not hard by default with just options to make it easier.
Re: Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, More Closed in Brutal Bethesda Restructure
This practice which Microsoft and Embracer have engaged in willy-nilly is despicable, with disastrous consequences.
Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking It Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
Sony's big mistake was allowing players from countries where PSN isn't available to purchase the game. What a colossal f'up from them.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2024?
Tunic and FC24 make it a good selection
Re: Helldivers 2 PC Is Getting Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
The Stellar Blade controversy is not overblown at all. They explicitly stated the game would not be censored, then did go ahead and censor it!
In this Helldivers case, they did communicate the PSN requirement prior to the game's release, so these players can't complain!
Also I second @breakneck's comment, stop making games for PC players, Sony!
Re: Hundreds of Huge PS5, PS4 Games Discounted for the Weekend

@Old_Man_Harper Good to know, thanks! I'll buy it eventually at a discounted price then.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Sea of Thieves on PS5?
Nah, I'll skip this one since it isn't possible to play solo.
