Pretty lackluster as always. Ragnarok and Gaiden are the big ones. Most people who wanted to play Ragnarok probably did (or maybe not, maybe there were waiting Xbox user-style) and LADG: TMWEHN was on Game Pass since Day 1 so that one I already played (and found it pretty weak) so there's nothing for me, at least.
Atelier Totori (finished Rorona recently), some old WWE game, (I think it's 2k16) and... I don't know. I kinda want to play another turn-based RPG too.
I actually have quite a few PS4 games I've never played so I'm trying to do that.
Already finished Spirit of Sanada.
Then all was put on pause for Metaphor ReFantazio which was great, and now back to PS4 with a little Atelier Rorona and Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise.
I kiiiinda wanna give the 2018 God of War a second chance but I was planning on playing it in Japanese and found out that's only possible with the Japanese version of the game, so I'm not sure. I have no interest of playing it in English or my own language. Might not play it after all.
I also dusted off my PS2 to play some classic Dynasty Warriors with Origins around the corner.
I'm playing it right now. Really good stuff. Went pretty much blind and I'm loving it. It could be one of Atlus' best but we'll see. Definitely better than anything Square has released recently. Persona 4 is still the best Atlus game, followed by Persona 5 and Devil Survivor.
The real GOTY right here. This is a video game in its purest form. Fun from beginning to end. One of the best experiences I had in years. Incredible game and my #1 game of the year and maybe decade so far.
That con automatically drops quite a few points from the score for me. Will play it, but I'm not in a hurry. Can't see it surpassing the last Prince of Persia, though.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
@Dragon83
8 was the one that stopped with the clone weapons. Probably the best one. 😂
Re: Shuhei Yoshida: If You Want New First-Party PS5 Games, You Should Support Remasters
Modern Sony (and gaming in general) in a nutshell.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida Reels Off List of Reasons the PS Vita Bombed
Still one of my favorite portable consoles. It was amazing.
Re: Yakuza's Kiryu Actor Stars in Action Platformer Rusty Rabbit This April on PS5
Looks a little like F.I.S.T which was really good.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio PS5, PS4 Patch 1.11 Brings Neat Menu Updates
@SuperSilverback @Rob_230
I think it's R1 twice and then you can choose.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio PS5, PS4 Patch 1.11 Brings Neat Menu Updates
Finished recently, so maybe for a NG+ if I go for the Platinum.
It was really really good.
Re: Square Enix Vows to Deny Toxic Fans Its Wonderful Games, Services
Sounds like a lot of corpo talk that'll end up in nothing.

Re: The First Berserker: Khazan Gets PS5 Demo Next Week
Nice we can read on the tweet it's also on other consoles and PC.
Re: The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion PS5 Remake Gets a Little More Potential Evidence
The last great Elder Scrolls RPG before it became too dumbed down.
Although it is dumbed down from Morrowind too.

Persona 4 is still the best Atlus game, followed by Persona 5 and Devil Survivor.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Developer of 2024
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio followed by Atlus. I'd say Ubisoft third just for Prince of Persia.
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Just Keeps on Getting Bigger
I'll be using all my time on Assassin's Creed Shadows so this one will have to wait.
But I'm sure it'll be awesome.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Says It Hopes Everyone Is 'Living in Love' After Naughty Dog Artist's Interpretation of Eve Is Unfairly Criticised
Naughty Dog makes PS5 games? I didn't know! I mean, they're doing one NOW, yeah...
Re: Game of the Year: #3 - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
The real GOTY right here. This is a video game in its purest form. Fun from beginning to end.
One of the best experiences I had in years. Incredible game and my #1 game of the year and maybe decade so far.

Is that you Jon Snow?
Re: Sony Promises It Hasn't Abandoned the Famous Franchises from Its Past
Don't promise. Do it.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Story Game of 2024
I feel that Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth should win all categories except this one. 😂
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
@Mikey856
Yes.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 RPG of 2024
Infinite Wealth 1st without a doubt.
Metaphor could end up second, I'm playing it right now.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Open World Game of 2024
Infinite Wealth without a doubt. To me DD2 was incredibly overrated.
Re: Rumour: The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Is Getting an Unreal Engine 5 Remake in 2025
As long as it doesn't play as Skyrim.
Re: Reminder That Horizon Forbidden West Is Simply Stunning on PS5 Pro
Nice to know PS4 games look good on the Pro.

I don't know what the hell this is, and I intend to keep it that way.
Re: Sony Becomes Kadokawa's Biggest Shareholder As Companies Form Alliance
Why would anyone want something not exclusive becoming exclusive is beyond me.
Re: Persona Protagonists Are Invariably High School Boys Due to 'Mental Age'
It's very shonen-like. And that sells. They're not gonna change the recipe that prints money.

Re: Feature: The Game Awards 2024's Best Announcement, As Voted By You
People really voting two trailers with almost zero gameplay. 😂
Re: Naughty Dog Turns Off Intergalactic PS5 Trailer's Comments As Discourse Turns Nasty
I never really thought any of ND's games were more than okay, so I'm not interested in this one, but not for the reasons most are complaining.
Still, it's interesting to read the comments defending this game when some games from other studios are attacked for similar reasons.
Re: Concord 'Didn't Bring Unique Value' to Players, Says Marvel Rivals Director
@Turion
100% agreed. 😂
Re: Naughty Dog's New PS5 Game Is Finally Announced, Sci-Fi Action Title Intergalactic
Probably the most underwhelming reveal imo.
Re: Concord 'Didn't Bring Unique Value' to Players, Says Marvel Rivals Director
What?! But all of Concord's characters were unique...

Lots of multiplatform games and even PS4 games. Nice.
Re: Developers Not Nailing Down Release Dates Due to GTA 6 Launch Window
Isn't Minecraft the best selling video game of all time?
Re: Fantastic 2022 RPG Chained Echoes Is Getting a Big Expansion Next Year
2022?! Daaaaamn. It's been 2 years since I said "I'll play it later"?
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Nothing Can Top Call of Duty, But Phasmophobia Came Close
Nice to see Veilguard still on the charts.
Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Demo Has Been a Huge Hit, Tops 1 Million Downloads
It was really impressive. Day 1 for sure. Really hyped about it.
Re: Sony Subsidiary Aniplex Is Prepping an Anime Adaptation of PS5, PS4 Deduction Game GNOSIA
I've bought this one day one on Xbox and haven't played it yet. 😅
Re: Mini Review: Nine Sols (PS5) - The Best Metroidvania on the Market
That con automatically drops quite a few points from the score for me.
Will play it, but I'm not in a hurry. Can't see it surpassing the last Prince of Persia, though.
Re: How Well Do You Know Yakuza / Like a Dragon?
I don't think remembering the name of one monkey in one substory in one game is something most people are gonna do. 😂
Re: Astro Bot Blasts Past Elden Ring, Currently 2024's Highest-Rated Release
I would say it's not that hard to find someone who doesn't like 3D platformers nor Soulslikes.
Re: Marvel Rivals Goes Gold Ahead of PS5 Launch, Expect It to Explode
Looks better than Concord... And for free.
Re: GOTY Dark Horse Balatro's Popularity Explodes Following TGA Nomination
It's going to be Wukong or the DLC. Even if they don't deserve it.
Re: Rumour: Mortal Kombat 1's Future DLC Cancelled After Poor Sales of Khaos Reigns
I loved 9. X was a dissapointment. 11 was... Kinda good. But I stopped caring.
Re: Site News: Write to Us About Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2024

Anyone who remembers what I said all year will know my choice. 😂
