@Shadcai same here, if t'old Randy hadn't gone and done what he does 'best'; run his mouth. I might've got it at launch if my usual crew wanted to all jump in, but I think we're all good on waiting for sales.
I am a few months into Metaphor and really enjoying it, it's fascinating playing a supremely Persona coded game outside of the school setting. I also wish Hulkenberg was a real person in my life because she would make an excellent weird food loving co-conspirator.
@Frmknst Think you might be confusing it with something else... or was it known under a different name? I ask because the oldest news about this game is 11hrs old (at the time of typing this)
That was genuinely one of the best non-first party showings they've had in a long time. Nioh 3 was the big one for me, I am going to lose myself in the demo.
Pragmata exists! The cheeky little note at the end made me chuckle, still don't believe it will ever release, won't do until it is in my hands and I have Platinumed it!
I'm looking forward to watching higher quality trailers for everything tomorrow.
Prediction - Yotei Gameplay, Suros trailer featuring a snippet of gameplay and something FROMSoftware
Dream - Resident Evil IX, third person, Jill focused but also featuring babygirl Rebecca all grown up. Pragmata is real and has a release date. GENdesign's new game gets a better reveal.
This weekend I will be finishing Spiders-men 2 and starting The House at Fata Morgana (PC) I've had a hankering for a new (to me) Visual Novel.
I'll also be exploring FFXIVs Occult Crescent and maybe even dropping into FFXI because the recent free login period has me wanting to continue levelling Dancer and trying to finish up the Voracious Resurgence stuff.
Back to the backlog I go after 100%ing Clair Obscur starting with Spiders-men 2! Really enjoying it so far and its just want I need after Expedition 33 wrung me out emotionally.
@nessisonett we joke, but I would legitimately love a Cassy Drake game that's more of a puzzle exploration adventure. Throw in that adorable... Labrador? maybe a Golden Retriever? and it'd be the best game on't PS6
I am still in recovery from Platinum-ing Clair Obscur Expedition 33... Been keeping my fingers busy with a lil Balatro and I have Spiders-men 2 installed and ready to go when I feel a bit less emotionaly vulnerable.
I wish someone would develop one of these high production value games and release it as a normal priced game, have all the base characters be acquirable through in-game quests, maybe release new characters as mini-expansions with their own questline. I'll likely play this at launch, do the 1.0 storyline and then add it to my never ending pile of games to eventually gatch up on.
@get2sammyb I was thinking the same, R1999 is another game I need to catch up with.
This looks gorgeous and I'll probably mainline the initial story but who knows after that... I fell off both Honkers and Genshin because I kept saying I'd wait until they added missing voice lines on the patches I was up to.
I'm also putting off the finale of Clair Obscur by exploring all the optional areas, this game has ben a treat... a harrowing, gut wrenching treat! It is going to take some doing to top the impact this game has had.
12 hours into Clair Obscur | Expedition 33 and oh lord is this game good. The combat is tight, the music is excellent, the writing and acting is top notch and the story is both heavy AND Whimsical!
@Kidfunkadelic83 mine just arrived, gonna finish up work for the day, have a late lunch and dive on in.
@lazarus11 Been a bit overwhelmed with my backlog recently and got in a bit of a funk with choice paralysis. Think this being brand spanking new AND being one of my most anticipated might just get me back on track.
@DETfaninATL I dated a seamstress for a few years, she made herself a fitted lycra bodysuit as the base for a cosplay she was making, it is the closest I have seen to the body hugging suits in games like this... She eventually scrapped the idea though because of underboob chafing.
Blue Prince is delighting and infuriating in equal measure! The escalating math problems in the Billiards Room are going to have me ripping my mop out!
I'm still in the process of putting a new PC together specifically because MHWilds ran like absolute dogger on my old rig. I've been hesitant with prices bouncing around and the newer hardware seeming a bit wonky.

Re: This Death Stranding Story Recap Is Essential Viewing Before PS5 Sequel
If you want something a bit more thorough then i suggest this vid from Suggestive Gaming - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt65_5b9660
A really clear recap that spells out some of the less clear details.
Re: 'The Story Is Weak': Stellar Blade Dev Acknowledges PS5, PC Fave's Biggest Flaw
Whilst it wasn't the best narrative, it was good enough to leave me wanting to know what happens next.
I do hope that them acknowledging this means they plan on putting more effort into the sequel.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 584
I finally got around to Metaphor!!! Only a few hours in but enjoying it so far!
I have also put in a silly amount of time into the Nioh 3 demo! It is tickling my pickle something fierce!

@Bunchesopuppies no need! Just go ask your local Rabbi!
Re: Expedition 33 Could Get Much Requested Photo Mode in Future Update on PS5
Lumina loadouts would be wonderful and Photo mode's arrival would be when I double dip and pick it up on PC.
Also discovered that some of the music is not safe to listen to on the bus because it breaks me...
Re: Last Chance to Get These 25+ PS5, PS4 Games in PS Store's Indie Sale

Re: Remember Chrono Odyssey, That Insane Looking PS5 Action MMORPG? It's Finally Back
