@themightyant @Balie3000 I can definitely see this being a GOTY 2025 nominee at The Game Awards 2025. Sadly I won't be playing it for years, no money and working on a massive backlog.
@rusty82 I do agree with you, Astro Bot never "speaks" and his games don't have much real stories/plots.
If anyone can pull it off though, it's definitely Sony. I loved both the Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted films, as well as The Last of Us tv show on Max.
@johncalmc @Bri-Die @Nem @ThomasHL @Oram77 @pyrrhic_victory @Nightcrawler71 All of this! I heavily dislike weapon durability, it's extra unnecessary padding and takes away from the overall gaming experience.
It's partly why I still haven't played Zelda BOTW or TOTK, despite owning them both for many years.
I wish it had more RAM and Storage + WiFi 7 & Bluetooth 5.1 support, but otherwise I can't complain.
As for the lag in the Switch 2 Direct, most likely they didn't have a strong internet connection.
Not that it affects me, I always play offline single player games. I only require the internet to download games and patches/updates, and also obtain trophies.
@freddquadros I'm also hopeful it's a timed exclusive! I've never played the Yakuza franchise, would love to experience the first game chronologically with English voices.
Hopefully this also sells well enough for them to do re-releases of Kiwami 1-2 and 3-6 with English voices.
@Bentleyma @JazzieJeff1975 Same here, I'll always choose English voices when it's an option in games.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Was Such a Hit, Ubisoft's Delaying Unannounced Games
@freddquadros I've also not bought Shadows yet, waiting for the usual 75% off sale for the Complete Edition with all DLC included.
So probably 2026-27, which is fine with me. I still need to play Rogue thru Valhalla, just too many games in my backlog...
Re: New Kingdom Hearts 4 PS5 Screenshots Released to Light the Darkness in Your Heart
I really truly hope we get a new Kingdom Hearts IV trailer at Summer Game Fest.
If not then, there's always Tokyo Game Show, The Game Awards, or Jump Festa.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a Proper Breakout Hit, Now at 2 Million Copies Sold
@themightyant I'm not worried about spoilers, I avoid websites and servers that would discuss them.
Also I used to have a full time job for 6 years, just having trouble finding a new one.

Re: PS5 Pro Is No Longer the Most Expensive Console You Can Buy
This just reaffirms my decision to stop pre-ordering/buying day one.
I do feel sorry for my gamer friends that will now be paying higher costs.
Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
This just reaffirms my decision to stop pre-ordering/buying day one.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025 Announced
I'll be happily adding ARK: Survival Ascended, dinosaurs go RAWR!
Re: Ghost of Yotei's PS5 Price Provokes Fresh Switch 2 Fury
I refuse to ever pay $80 for Mario Kart World, I shall wait for a rare 50% off sale in 5 to 8 years.
Re: PS Plus Essential Game for May 2025 Possibly Leaked Early
If this is true, I'll be happily adding it to my PS+ game backlog in May.
That said though, I still plan to play thru and platinum the original PS4 game release first.
Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 2 - More Birdie Than Hole in One
@S1ayeR74 HBO renewed the Last of Us for Season 3, since Part II (the game) was really long.
Season 2 will cover the first half of TLOU2, and Season 3 will cover the 2nd/final half.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
I've been playing The Last of Us: Part II for the first time ever, via the PS5 Remaster.
Just platinumed it recently, and I also finished my 2nd run on Permadeath too.
After I beat it for a 3rd time on Grounded NG+, I'll replay TLOU1 (PS4) & play Part I (PS5).
Re: Site News: Where's Our Days Gone Remastered PS5 Review?
@NathanKang I'm also shocked we still don't have remasters or remakes of the inFAMOUS series.
I get that Sucker Punch has been busy with Ghost of Yotei, but another studio could easily handle the inFAMOUS remasters/remakes etc.
@FinneasGH Days Gone Remastered should be dirt cheap eventually in a few years, or you could buy a used/pre-owned copy of the PS4 version.
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2025 Announced
I'm only looking forward to Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2, though I will check out both War of the Monsters and Alone in the Dark 2
Re: Switch Exclusive Disney Illusion Island Cashes Out with PS5 Port and Scrooge McDuck Update
I'm so freaking happy, this game has finally escaped Switch exclusivity.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 575
Nothing yet, but I'll hopefully platinum Tales of Kenzera: Zau (PS5) at least.
After that it's back to playing thru The Last of Us: Part II Remastered (PS5), I'm almost done with the first massive Seattle area.
Re: Rumour: Oblivion Remake About to Be Revealed as Old Oblivion Listings Are Updated
@MidnightDragonDX I've never played an Elder Scrolls game before, is this a good entry point?
Re: Feature: PS5's Not Perfect, But Here Are 5 Ways It's More Consumer Friendly Than Switch 2
@UltimateOtaku91 All of this basically, there's always pros and cons.
That said, I will be boycotting/protesting the Nintendo Switch 2 console for 3-4 years at the very least.
I also refuse to pay for $80+ Switch 2 games, that's just plain corporate greed in my opinion.
Re: Single Player Games Are Still Coming from Dark Souls, Elden Ring Dev
@KundaliniRising333 I will be boycotting/protesting the Nintendo Switch 2 console for 3-4 years at the very least.
I've got a massive PS5/PS4 game backlog, I'm in no hurry to inflate my already giant collection.
I also refuse to pay for $80+ Switch 2 games, that's just plain corporate greed in my opinion.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Teasing Something, But No One Knows What
I'm hoping it's the new anime at the very least.
Re: Sony to Turn Horizon Zero Dawn into a Movie, Not a TV Show
@LiamCroft Do we have any confirmation of whether this will be live-action or animated?
I'd much prefer an animated Horizon series.
Re: Almost All PS5 Fans Are Against $80 Games
I'll NEVER pay $80 for a video game, I'd rather wait for hefty discounts or worse case miss out.
My time AND money both matter to me, not one or the other. Especially since I'm broke currently, lost my job in 2024.
Re: Bungie's Marathon PS5 Game Taking Over PlayStation Social Media Pages
We're probably gonna get a new trailer drop soon, with more to see at the rumored May 2025 State of Play/Showcase.
Re: Astro Bot Could Hit the Big Screen for a Movie
@rusty82 I do agree with you, Astro Bot never "speaks" and his games don't have much real stories/plots.
If anyone can pull it off though, it's definitely Sony. I loved both the Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted films, as well as The Last of Us tv show on Max.
Re: Round Up: A 'Cavern of Stupidity' - The Minecraft Movie Reviews Are Live
If I had to pay to see "A MineCraft Movie", I'd never watch it.
Thankfully I still have Regal Unlimited, so I'll probably watch it for dumb laughs this weekend.
Either that or wait for it to land on a streaming app for "free".
Re: The Weapon Durability Debate Is Back with PS5 Action RPG Blades of Fire
@johncalmc @Bri-Die @Nem @ThomasHL @Oram77 @pyrrhic_victory @Nightcrawler71 All of this! I heavily dislike weapon durability, it's extra unnecessary padding and takes away from the overall gaming experience.
It's partly why I still haven't played Zelda BOTW or TOTK, despite owning them both for many years.
Re: PS5 Players See Switch 2 as a Secondary Console, Not Direct Competition
@UltimateOtaku91 Exactly this, I'm primarily a PS5 gamer when it comes to the bulk of my gaming.
I only use Nintendo consoles/handhelds for their 1st party exclusives, like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon etc.
Re: Switch 2 Isn't Targeting People Who Want 'High-Performance Hardware', Like PS5 Pro
@UltimateOtaku91 @Member_the_game Same thoughts here, I'm primarily a PS5 gamer.
I only use my Nintendo devices for their 1st party exclusives, like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon etc.
Re: PS6 Can't Rely on Cutting-Edge Graphics, Sony Must 'Change Its Way of Thinking'
@Netret0120 I couldn't have said it any better, those 3 factors matter alot more to a video game than graphics.
Also really good story and gameplay helps too. I'm a sucker for offline single player games, with strong narratives and combat.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida on the Switch 2 Direct: 'Underwhelming Until FromSoftware Showed Up'
I'll watch their reaction video later, but I'm happy to see Shuhei Yoshida is still lively and doing ok.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on Potential $80 PS5 Games?
I stopped pre-ordering/paying full price back in 2023, now I patiently wait for dirt cheap sales in a few years.
Also helps I am currently unemployed and broke, so don't have the money to waste on full priced games anyway...
Re: The Best Yakuza Game's Getting a Director's Cut, And It Could Come to PS5 and PS4 Later
@freddquadros I'll definitely consider it, my old PushSquare bud.
Re: Free PS Plus Compensation Confirmation Emails Being Sent Out Now
I'd much rather have a free game please, 5 days of PS+ is pointless when I'm subscribed thru April 2027.
Re: Switch 2 Coughs Up for Timed Hades 2 Console Exclusivity, Coming to PS5 Later
I'm relieved to hear it's like Hades 1's timed exclusivity. I still need to play it though...
Re: Switch 2 Goes for the Kill in Japan By Massively Undercutting PS5's Price
Damn, if only the Switch 2 was that price in the USA.
Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
I wish it had more RAM and Storage + WiFi 7 & Bluetooth 5.1 support, but otherwise I can't complain.
As for the lag in the Switch 2 Direct, most likely they didn't have a strong internet connection.

Re: Street Fighter 6 Is Getting a Big New PS5, PS4 Bundle for New Players
I'm still waiting for this to drop on PlayStation Plus Essentials, it'll happen eventually mark my words.
Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Looks Solid But the Many PS5, PS4 Ports Won't Spook Sony Yet
I won't be playing any of the third party ports on the Switch 2, that's what I have my PS5 for.
I only care about Nintendo's exclusives like Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon etc, nothing else!
Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?
It'll always be a secondary console, and I refuse to pay the $450 USD ($500 with Mario Kart World).
I'll wait for a rare dirt cheap sale in a few years, keeping an eye on Wario64, Slickdeals, and SwitchDeals/ConsoleDeals subreddits.
On the bright side though, I AM happy it's 4K @ 60 fps docked or 1080p @ 120 fps in handheld mode.
Re: James Bond PS5 Game Project 007 Resurfaces After 4 Years of Silence
@Icey664 @AdamNovice I'm also expecting a new trailer soon, maybe during TGA 2025 with a Fall 2026 release?

Re: Elden Ring Expands with New Armor, Weapons, More in Tarnished Edition
@rjejr Yeah probably. I don't own Elden Ring yet, waiting for the Tarnished Edition to be $30 New or cheaper in a few years.
Re: Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 Finally Coming to PS5, PS4 This June
@Americansamurai1 I'm 36 years old and also a big fan of Undertale!
I'm looking forward to the new chapters, though I won't be playing Deltarune until it's 100% finished.
Re: Nintendo Is Raising the Price of Games with Switch 2
@KundaliniRising333 I didn't mean to come off as snarky/sassy, I was just genuinely sharing my honest thoughts and opinions on the matter.
Hard to properly show emotions online thru just words sadly.
Re: Open World Mecha Action Sequel Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Boosts to PS5 in September
I'm hoping this means the first game will eventually be brought over to PS5, even if it's just a basic/lazy port instead of a proper remaster.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Relegated to a Switch 2 Sizzle Reel
I still need to play the first Hollow Knight game, but I'm happy for the fans that have been waiting since 2019!
Re: Starseeker Is the Follow-Up to Astroneer, Heading to PS5 in 2026
Cute co-op game, but I'll probably never paly it.
Re: Nintendo Is Raising the Price of Games with Switch 2
@KundaliniRising333 Yeah I won't be buying this at full price either, it'll be $50 in 3-4+ years mark my words.
I'm adding the + in case it takes longer than 4 years, for any future readers.
Re: Bloodborne, Elden Ring Dev Won't Be Releasing Its Next Big Game on PS5
Multiplayer and a Switch 2 exclusive? Hard pass from me.
Re: Halo Series Might Not Come to PS5 in the Way You're Thinking
I could see them releasing each game individually, or split the collection into 2 mini collections.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for April 2025 Announced
I already own Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory, but will happily add both Robocop and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
