Judging by the comments this is a very marmite topic, same with when RGG announced Yakuza 7 being turn based rather than real time. I'm happy with any type of gameplay. As long as I'm drawn in by the characters and world building the gameplay no matter what type will just become second nature to me!
I'm sorry to hear you had such a traumatic childhood, I hope you got the help you needed. If playing kids games is your way of relaxing then that is perfectly fine. I highly recommend Astro's Playroom though. It's such a wonderful thing to experience and If you don't play the M rated Sony games then you would be none the wiser with the characters hidden around the levels!
@thefourfoldroot He won't even play Astro's playroom because it contains Easter eggs of mature games. Bit of an odd ball but each to their own I guess!
Should really be packing for moving house in two weeks time, but I'm sure I'll play Guilty Gear
Only a few matches away from moving up above floor 10, it'll probably not go my way though. Let's Rock this weekend everyone. Happy gaming!
Edit: Quick update I have reached the celestial floor. I'm in awe of myself. Won't be for long though 😂
@naruball The closest thing I can think of shooting wise would be Gears of War if your looking for a comparison. When Aloy has the big gun type weapons she removes from the bigger machines, it kind of feels like a gears game as she weighted down with those heavy weapons!
Starting to pack for the big house move at the end of the month. But off out to catch up with an old friend, whilst Mrs MightyDemon sorts out Xmas stuff (fingers crossed she gets rid of most of it.)
If I get a bit of time tonight maybe some Guilty Gear Strive.
Not really in a gaming mood today, might play something at some point. Going out later on to celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary, being together for 10 years and having bought a house.
If I do play it'll probably be some Guilty Gear Strive!
I have something like 5 physical discs Elden Ring, GotG PS5. FFXV, The Last Guardian PS4 and Astrobot Rescue Mission PSVR.
The other 300+ games I have are all digital. when it comes to movies, t.v. and gaming I'll quite happily go the download/streaming route but try to make me use a kindle and it's not happening, got to be a physical hardcover book/ paperback if I'm not fussed about said book or struggle to track down hardcover copies.
@AFCC The art book is out around about the same time as this one. Release dates can be a bit all over the place but keep an eye on bookstores and Darkhorses web page to get an idea, tends to become more set in stone the closer to the placeholder we get.
Hopefully we get info on DLC soon, If we are getting any. Looking forward to the art book releasing in November. Can't go wrong with a hardcover Darkhorse book whether it's purely just art from a popular IP or a great comic series like my main man Hellboy!
Been making the most of my £3 top up to extra for the next month. Finished Stray, Lost Words: Beyond the page and Seasons after fall and just started The Last Stop.
Got the Plat for Seasons after Fall and will work on the others.
Finished it late last night with 7 hours 55 mins on the clock. Definitely do other runs to get the remaining trophies. Simple but fun game looks beautiful and great OST.
@NEStalgia I'm more excited for Rebirth, if I want it as it is I can replay the original FFVII. If LoUP1 is as good as part 2 in the gameplay department then I'm sold. Be great to play both back to back.
The person behind the tweet must have been sleeping, crazy men have literally been sending pictures of their manhood to Santa Monica Studio in anticipation of a single player game. Nobody would go that far over a multiplayer game.
Been a while since I've played Cuphead, initially got to the second Isle and beat the Candy House lady before stopping to play something else. DLC was worth it and tonight I beat the clown on Isle 2 and one of the smaller bosses on the new Isle.
Lost in Random and Guilty Gear Strive are my games for the weekend.
Want to give a shout-out to Neoncloud87 who messaged me over PSN last night to let me know that players like myself make him want to delete the game(Guilty Gear) 😂. I'm a zoner for my sins, he was playing as Anji and funny thing is I had my butt handed to me by 2 other Anji players earlier that night. Love when people get upset over a game!
Just regular for me, Thinking of not renewing once my sub is up in August. Will focus on my backlog which will keep me going for quite sometime and save some cash.
Better sidequests are a must. I'm sure they'll have improved upon an already great battle system, As for the story I hope square have the balls to go for it and surprise everyone even the naysayers.
Been house hunting today but back home now and somehow I've reached the 10th floor in Guilty Gear Strive. So to celebrate I will maybe take a break from it and finish the last 2 chapters of GotG which has been ok!
Excellent news to wake up to. I played the original a year before remake came out and aside from dated visuals it was great. I'm all for a trilogy taking the characters in a new direction.
Great interview, think I will start Cold Steel 2 soon as it's been a while since I finished the first one. Cracking game though and look forward to playing more in the series!
I'll pick up the Xbox dongle/stick for cheap, around 2030 and sub to gamepass 3 months for a quid. If any of the big hitters are actually out by then and if I'm still into gaming!
Silksong looks great though I'll get it on Switch and PS5.
I've still to play through Cold Steel 2-4, but too many games and other hobbies vying for my free time. Be nice to get through them all in my lifetime but you never know. I might get hit by a bus or something!
@thefourfoldroot1 Kids only play what other kids play these days and it's all about playing with friends. They tend to not sit and play single players as they can't scream down their headsets at other kids and even find them "boring" without the social aspects.
According to my nephews this and FIFA are the best games ever. Shows what little they know, as when it comes to online games Guilty Gear Strive, Rocket League and Genshin Impact are the best!
Won't be gaming much today as I'm going to see The Book of Mormon this Afternoon and then out for food. Might fit in some Guilty Gear matches, made it to the 9th floor for an evening, earlier in the week so that was an achievement for me as I don't consider myself great at fighting games. Maybe continue playing GotG this weekend, just picked it up again after playing GG exclusively for the past month and met Cosmo.
Nice outside as well, so I think we will walk to the theatre later on so I can get a pint 😀.

The Pushsquare review said the game was roughly 3 hours long, therefore no need to have a trial that long!

Added to my wish list. watched some of skill ups don't skip this video. you can make characters eat poop so it's a must play haha!

Re: Bridget Brings Killer Yo-Yos Back to Guilty Gear Strive, Out Today
looks like a fun character to play as, will maybe use as a secondary to Axl.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West Soars Back to the Top
@F2P-F2P she doesn't look like that in the game 😂. Don't believe everything you see posted on twitter.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West Soars Back to the Top
@Ooccoo_Jr I have the first one, I may have to grab the others a some point.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West Soars Back to the Top
@Ooccoo_Jr why anyone wouldn't want this game is beyond me. It was fantastic, but you are right they probably sold it to pay for FIFA and V bucks.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West Soars Back to the Top

Re: Stray Is a Meowsive Hit Judging By Day One Concurrent Numbers

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 433
Lost in Random with a few Guilty Gear Strive matches thrown in. Also watch Stranger things and hopefully finish reading Excession today.
Have a good one folks!

Re: PS5 Exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is a Year Old
@Kooky_Daisuke I'll get it on sale on PS5 at some point. Enjoyed the first one but it hasn't aged well.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 11
10 out of 15, not too shabby.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 430
I'll be checking out the changes in the recent patch for Guilty Gear Strive, approaching 200 hours in the game and can't get enough.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Re: Sony Leaks The Last of Us: Part I for PS5, Launching 2nd September
I'll definitely play it at some point, as I loved the remaster on PS4 and was blown away by part 2.
Would be nice if we see other Sony stuff at tonight's show though. We will see!
Re: Falcom on Bringing Kuro Trails Games West: 'Of Course We Intend To'
