... Really Atlus? Really? I thought this was a given with Persona 5's success! 😂

I love Persona 3 to bits and Persona 4 was a wonderful follow up but I unfortunately didn't like Persona 5 in pretty much every regard (The stupidly long wait for it to release and the hype I had for it probably didn't help)

I wish I enjoyed it half as much as everyone else did but I don't think I'd ever play through P5 again and I certainly don't feel compelled to get royal.

Regardless of my feelings for P5 and apathy towards Royal it's a good review ShogunRok 👍

Hopefully P5 Scramble might actually tempt me to give these characters another chance whenever that releases!

Never played a Shantae game before but I've always liked the look of them... This one in particular looks quite fun!

I'm going with Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (On PS4) with some bursts of Dragon's Crown Pro and Iconoclasts between it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and stays safe!! 😁

I clocked about 130 hours of game time @ApostateMage with Divinity Original Sin 2 just for the one playthrough so you're definitely sorted for the upcoming months! 😂

Nice review! Unfortunately I have a bit too much on my plate at the moment but I'm looking forward to getting this somewhere down the line! 😁

I mean if Konami isn't doing anything good with the ip's... I certainly wouldn't say no to Sony snapping them up! 😁

I've finished the main campaign of Resident Evil Revelations 2. Got a bunch of collectables and the bonus/extra chapters to do but I might leave that alone for the time being.

I'll probably play some more Iconoclasts and maybe some Dragon's Crown Pro over the weekend amidst lesson planning.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Huh... I thought the demo would be gigantic in size. 7gb is pretty reasonable for an hour or so of time I suppose, especially with it looking so good. I'll be looking forward to giving it a go!

Well I finished NieR Automata during the week. Bit disappointing to be perfectly honest.

I'm going to play a mix of DOOM 2016's Arcade mode and Resident Evil Revelations 2 this weekend... Might get back to Iconoclasts that I kinda put by the wayside for NieR too!

I've yet to try any of the Baldur's gate games... but the fact this just looks like Divinity Original Sin III from the gameplay (and Original Sin II was sublime)... count me in for this! 😁

"Generic borderline mumble rap"

I love the description for that tripe 😂

And whomever chose the music for that advert...

Star Wars Fallen Order is still in the top ten? Impressive... is that going to be the next evergreen title?

Nice work for Bayonetta and Vanquish making it to the top ten!

NieR: Automata for me this week.

It has some faults and I'm in two minds on it's way of storytelling (Not to mention it has unique views on what constitues as an "end") so far...

But I think it's nearly time for me to peek behind the curtain and see what's really going on in this game of Androids and Machines...

I love everything else about it though. Good combat and a lovely dyanmic soundtrack

Sounds like a pretty good idea! That dynamic theme for the final tier looks pretty nice!

I love the visuals!

@Deadhunter pretty good game that, the reworked songs weren't bad either!

And I always think 50 gigs is pretty big for my poor standard 1tb hard drive 😂

Never played it but I look forward to trying it out at some point!

After finishing Divinity Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition last week (Finally) I'm now flicking between Iconoclasts and NieR: Automata Game Of The YoRHa Edition

Good stuff so far... Can't wait to see what happens next in NieR, just reached the amusement park!

... Well that was sleek, snazzy and utterly gorgeous.

I shan't be tempted by visuals alone though! I need to play that demo whenever it's coming out... and soon! 😂

It's always nice to hear genuine enthusiasm and passion!

But... I kinda doubt it'll truly re-define anything. It's just gonna be more of the same high quality that people expect from a high budget project from a first party Sony Studio.

Well that's a neat little feature! Looks alright too!

Quite like the rather peaceful Ghost of Tsushima theme that was available a few weeks back too

After a week and a half break from playing any games really I'm finally ready to finish off Divinity Original Sin II - Definitive Edition once and for all.

The last act doesn't seem like it'll take that long but who knows? Either way I've enjoyed my time with it thoroughly! 😁

The music in Persona 5 isn't quite for me unfortunately. A few great songs, Blooming Villain in particular, but jazz isn't my thing. Though Lyn Inaizumi's vocals are probably my least favourite thing about the tracks.

I much prefer Yumi Kawamura (Persona 3's vocalist) & Shihoko Hirata (Persona 4's).

Hell I even like Lotus Juice more

Honestly aside from DOOM Eternal (So long as it Beth don't mess with ID and it too much) I don't think i'll be touching a game of theirs again.

Fallout 4 was a big disappointment (And I don't rate Skyrim that highly either) and I don't think anyone can really defend their scummy actions and money grabbing with Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Blades... StarField's gonna be littered with it I just know it

Plus I really don't want to deal with that awful buggy gamebyro/creation engine again 😂

Same as last weekend Divinity Original Sin II - Definitive Edition is eating away at my playtime once again and the only game on my mind.

Finally ready to leave the Reaper's Coast with 77 hours on my save...

And I've still got the third act left!

Mine is a complete shambles and utterly wrong to put it mildly. It seems to be only taking into account what I played on the PS3 for some reason and even then it's wrong.

Apparently I didn't play Digimon Cyber Slueth for over eighty hours last year, or the Witcher III and Dark Souls 2 for a good 30 hours a piece.

My highest game was the Jak and Daxter collection for six hours apparently. I... didn't even play it last year.

I only spent 22 hours gaming throughout the whole year (over two days somehow) and got the marksman title for playing Bioshock 1 for maybe 3 hours at most... 😐

Just like last week and probably for a few more weekends to come I'll purely be playing Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition for PS4.

I've been reeled in hook, line and sinker now after spreading my attention out over three or four games the past month or so.

60 hours in and the end is currently nowhere in sight. Loving it!

I should've not been playing any video games. I have a bunch of lesson planning that I should be doing instead.

...But... Divinity Original Sin II - Definitive Edition was on my mind and... Eight hours down the drain.😂

I haven't been so absorbed in a game for the longest time!

Kingdom Hearts 3 is probably the biggest game released this year that I keep forgetting exists... But then I've never been the biggest fan of the series either

The same as the above two comments. Except I think it's only alright. Oblivion was better aside from the silly levelling system

Like last week Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition is taking up the brunt of my time witn me ready to leave Fort Joy!

But now I'm (relatively) free from work til the new year I can also switch between Soul Calibur VI and Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night much more easily! And I may succumb to getting Dark Souls Remastered for that £13 price tag in the psn sale...

Merry christmas everyone and happy gaming!

Ha ha ha I called it! I knew it would be. No game's took the world by storm as much as Fortnite the past few years

... Wish I didn't have to deal with collegues and parents thinking it's the boogeyman though 😂

Never played it myself though. Not my cup of tea.

15 whole months?! That's absurd! Especially for each episode to be maybe two hours long at best.

Maybe they should just not make a game "episodic" at all and y'know release it all at once.

There especially doesn't seem to be any point to this design choice for "Tell Me Why" if it's being released all at once...

-EDIT- It's only an opinion piece @FellSorcerer. S'not like it's going to mean anything in the long run... Lighten up!

You're missing the point @FellSorcerer.

It's not about Destiny being a great game. As I just said to oldschool1987 the article states of ten tiles that "have left a historic mark on the industry"

This isn't a top ten or best in genre as you suggest. This is advancing the medium of gaming as a whole.

... I don't like it either but ya know... I get the reasoning behind it. It's very clear to see the influence it has had just like Dark Souls (Which I do agree with)

... The articles say It's playstation/multiplatform candidates only @oldschool1987 😁

So Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey are out... And I definitely wouldn't Skyward sword or Mario odyssey as a game of the decade.

Neat games but not something that advanced the medium of gaming as the article states of ten tiles that "have left a historic mark on the industry"

I don't like Destiny or games as a service in general as I said in my original post... But it was a trandsetter. For better or for worse.

... Witcher III is probably a given @Ridwaano. It's a well written game that helped advance open world games (sadly none have actually managed to emulate it well)

Don't think the others you mentioned will get a look in though

Begrudingly it is important and deserves it's place too.

After all the whole point of these articles is more about the impact on the medium of gaming a whole... not just ten really great games.

I don't really have any affection for Destiny though and the whole games as a service model can do one

I shan't be suprised however if Fortnite makes this list.

Not my cup of tea either to put it mildly but you can't deny the similarish impact Fortnite has had.

In fact similarly to Dark Souls it has many imitators (which Fortnite itself is to the actual originator PUBG) but also had similarities to Destiny with games as a service but in the free to play space.

Plus no game this decade has been quite the global phenomenon as that...

You're very welcome @JohnnyShoulder and @dark_knightmare2

Here's the link @verynaughtyboy

Might be available as an art print or something as they seem to have a store on the website

Even if you hate the Souls games, It'd be crazy not to acknowledge just how much it's influenced in the gaming sphere with all the imitations/homages.

From little cameo jokes and shout outs in the Witcher III & Borderlands 2 to the many inspired games, even to games with completely different genres like Hollow Knight that feature a similar ambiance and cryptic lore.

The Souls games have surprisingly been cited as an influence on several of the PlayStation 4's PlayStation Network features of messaging, social networking and video sharing features.

It's even been an influence on the TV/Netflix show, Stranger Things apparently!

Dark Souls has and will continue to be a game with a presence within gaming for a while and deserves the place it has very much so.

(I was going to make a forum topic to discuss such a thing of games of the decade... Hence why I was booked up in particular about this )

Trying to juggle Divinity Original Sin II: Defintive Edition , Soul Calibur VI and Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night all on PS4.

Not usually one for playing three different games at a time but I'm managing... just! 😂

Put Witcher III on hold though to accomdate my new purchases. I just reached Skellige though so not a bad time for a break at all.

That's what I was gonna say @AdamNovice ... I think I'm knocked out already... There's so many good ones 😂

Long as it has the weapon wheel back... Infinite's combat was a bit ho-hum without it!

Elden Ring'd be nice to hear about... Even if it's just we're making it a cross gen title or something!

Geralt of Rivia is in both games I'm playing this weekend.

Witcher III & Soul Calibur VI.

He's a nice fit in SC and has a fun playstyle.

Currently using Azwel though... who is delightfully bonkers to put it mildly 😂

The ps4 needs some more monster catching/raising/battling games.

There's Digimon Cyber Sleuth and it's sequel...

... I think that's it.

But as Octane says I have no intention of playing this if it's an always online only game! Which is a shame as it looks fairly competent otherwise!

Actually I was more confused then anything as to why they were changed so drastically @Undeadlogan but thanks for the "whiney complaint" at my opinion that they look a little off!

I have seen the light and the errors of my ways!

Oooh I never bought Bayonetta on ps3 because the problems with the port I kept hearing about

Happily give it a try!

Never heard of Vanquish before though til now...

March's release window is just plain silly... There's so many smaller games that are going to get completely buried here!!!

As for Royal itself I ended looking up details on the added story as it's no interest me (Somewhat hopeful for Strikers though)

... That's uhh... something...I guess... I hope people enjoy it but... glad I'm saying no 😅
