@TruestoryYep @Cvantez my apologies: Brawler type button bashing is yesterday's news. Like a Dragon has been their biggest seller. The pirate game flopped.
@Balaam_ i am genuinely concerned about you. Trophies do not validate you as a person. You seem obsessed, pls speak with somebody about it. It's very unhealthy.
@GamingGod With the associated risks, discs not functioning etc. Had to take a few back there in my time unfortunately. But generally yeah, good value for physical.
@AzuDelta lol, not a fan of Nintendo. I bought a Switch a few years back and was hoping to play some of the old Zelda's. Was disgusted to find them locked behind a subscription pay wall, I couldn't just buy them outright. I would've happily paid full price too. Ultimately, I bought nothing for it and gave it to a friends' kid.
@PuppetMaster Loved Resonance of Fate, i think it was quite niche though so is relatively unknown which is a shame. It was quite tough to learn the rather unique battle mechanics, but a joy to behold on screen when mastered. Currently playing Where Winds Meet, only a couple of hours in but like what I've seen so far. Very impressive for a f2p and the only in game purchases are for cosmetics, no p2w elements. Shame about the social chat channels though atm, full of the kids who write reviews on xbox. That's the only downside so far with it being f2p.
@SeaDaVie Yes I've noticed that with previous articles. I'm guessing that it may well be an algorithm based on engagement/views. Annoying as heck though when looking for older articles that are not ordered by the time they were actually posted.
One of my first ps1 demo discs back in the day was George and Nicole, and a clown. Wouldn't pay for it then, and wouldn't now. It's point and click. I appreciate that some people like to pay for it though. But I preferred reading Asterix and Obelix ð
Only played a couple of hours so far. It looks absolutely incredible graphically, which was a foregone conclusion anyway lol. The fast travel is even faster than Tsushima, blink and your there ð Also liked that I was distracted by things happening dynamically in the open world. Not a Ubisoft tick box exercise, just random people etc in the countryside. Busy atm with finishing a couple of other games, then my weekend is devoted to it!
Personally I prefer such things on a ng+, after actually playing the games naturally. I do think trophies or achievements should be disabled though, because its a false representation of actual accomplishment.
@Feffster How annoying. In a recent sale that bundle was on sale for about ÂĢ12ish. I bought it. It'll be on sale again at that price no doubt, I suggest you put it on your wishlist and you'll be notified when its on sale again.
@Feffster what I've done in the past is clicked on the games on my homepage, selected view product or whatever it says and I was directed to psn with the option to purchase. Been a while though, don't know if it still works. But yeah anyway, such a dumb oversight by Sony or they cynically want people permanently tied to subs.
@Rich33 I feel the same, I somehow managed to finish the 3rd one as excruciating as I found it. Probably because I paid full price at around release time and was determined to get something out of it. Never touched it since though. It has lots of praise, just didn't gel with me.
Loved the original releases but just couldn't master the tank controls effectively enough in the re-releases. Either its my age or they are just terrible controls.
Purely for games, nothing else. Even if I didn't have a modern TV with all the apps I'd rather just use a firestick. Waste of money and power imo to boot up a PS5 just to stream stuff.
As much as I loved the first game, please do not have them damn repetitive 'save the hostages' to claim the base quests. But meh, I'm not a creator, guess its hard to fill an open world with interesting and unique quests such as Elder Scrolls. I won't be buying day one, it looks as padded as the first one.
@Ellie-Moo lol, i remember taking it out of my ps1 and sticking it in the cd player for the tunes ð Not sure what arcade archives is, a sub service or streaming only like Anstream?

@SuntannedDuck2 The Nier stories are incredibly convoluted but great imo.
Try Kingdom Hearts, logic got thrown out ta the window ð

@Cvantez It's a series of games, but these made up characters matter to you?
Re: 'We Might as Well Dissolve the Team Right Now': Like a Dragon Boss Won't Bend to Overseas Popularity
The reason its exploded in imo, turn based fun. Not destroying joypads with crap.

Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now with 1,900+ PS5, PS4 Offers
So tempted by MGS...but no, I just know it'll be on psplus extra or essential at some point. Maybe if it was 50% off I'd bite.

@DETfaninATL Hearing great things about that game, but its been a packed gaming month!
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (September 2025)
Shoot me for speaking, but surely Silksong is just a platformer, with Soulslike precision needed?
Meh.
Edit, voted BL4.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions of Ghost of Yotei on PS5?
@ear_wig Good point, I do find it strange sometimes when the polls ask for ratings before many have had the time to complete them.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions of Ghost of Yotei on PS5?
Only played a couple of hours so far. It looks absolutely incredible graphically, which was a foregone conclusion anyway lol.

Also liked that I was distracted by things happening dynamically in the open world. Not a Ubisoft tick box exercise, just random people etc in the countryside.

Re: Preview: Why 007 First Light Is the Most Exciting Game of 2026
@themightyant Bear in mind that 007 is licenced (no pun intended). That licence alone will restrict what you can do with that character
Re: Square Enix Is Taking All Its Big Guns to TGS This Month
@WiccanMagick75 thankyou ð
Re: Square Enix Is Taking All Its Big Guns to TGS This Month
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy I highly suspect that a Chrono Trigger remaster would far outstrip the sales from Oblivion remastered.
But they don't like money.
Re: Square Enix Is Taking All Its Big Guns to TGS This Month
FF Tactics for me. I couldn't find a copy anywhere when it originally released, hope its worth the 28yr wait ð
Re: Preview: Why 007 First Light Is the Most Exciting Game of 2026
Had it been Hitman 4 I may have bothered to watch the video. But a James Bond adventure? Huh? Not for me thankyou.

Lol, not a big deal. Touch my digital copy of Vagrant Story and murders may happen.
Re: 'We Won't Make You Do the Same Thing Over and Over': Ghost of Yotei PS5 Will Keep You Guessing
@SeaDaVie To be fair, the Yakuza sidequests are quite unique and hilarious. GoT got repetitive fast imo.
