Awaiting the Re-elected Edition in a year to eighteen months, been burned by the re-release happy Atlus too many times.

@PuppetMaster I blame SF2 Chun-li for the part of my taste in women that centres around them being able to toss me around like a ragdoll.

I'm quite enjoying this over on PC... But I just wish these Korean/Chinese MMOs would hire someone to naturalise their localisations, there is such a stiff ever so slightly off quality that is unmistakable and you know it is because to VO direction was forced to stick to the badly translated script. There is room for the story to shine but it never gets to in these MMOs.

If this game ever reaches market it is going to be fascinating to dissect with how grim development has been... The World of Darkness truly is a cursed IP.

Continued financial woes mean no new full price games for me. Wish me luck on the job hunt!

But if I had the cash I would've been all over this day one!

I want this so bad but I think Atlus burned me one too many times... I can already see the RE-Election Edition in a years time being a thing...

@get2sammyb that and resources saved developing for a single sku... soon to be two sku's but the difference isn't so large as that between X and S.

The Series S has been such an arse ache for this generation.

With the pace I'm replaying the first three Dragon Age games Veilguard will probably hit its first sale before I pick it up... I had planned on getting it day one but bad time management on my part means I'll probably be just getting Hawke settled in Kirkwall by the time Rook and chums come stumbling through the gate.

I need to fiddle around with this Megalights addition, I have a few portfolio environments that would shine with this working in them.

@TheLotteryMan1 Generic monster design? Can you point to a few other games that use similar designs?

I was in London this weekend for the FFVII Rebirth concert at the Royal Albert Hall, was really good!

38 people, that's low enough to be friends and family to make it look like people are pledging.

I'm hoping that some of them realise what they're doing and pull out.

@nessisonett well put.

I don't mind the film being Jin centric because it started a long time ago... but yeah for the games let Atsu shine.

If they do feel compelled to do more Jin I hope they do it as a really dense novel to piss off the nuggets that are whining, but also for me because I'm never truly happy unless the book I'm reading doubles as a bludgeoning weapon.

I need FFVI in the 2.5D style!

This and Thread of Time look so damned good!

@carlos82 I'll do what I did with season 1, wait for it all to be out and Now TV to do a deal on both the entertainment package AND the boost for 4k streaming, then use that month to binge stuff I've missed. But yeah, their standard streaming of horrific

Thanks for the reminder the anime is out! Not a fan of the pvpve extraction stuff, so I'll probably stick to the non-game portion

Makes sense, all other decisions in DAI were character centric or not related to the area in Thedas this game is set in

@Chupa_loyzer probably because the Inquisitor could romance Solas if they were an Elf and apart from being heartbreaking the relationship featured a lot important info about the elves past and their so-called Gods

We're all thinking it and I'mma gonna say it!

She better get her butt out for the inevitable hotspring collectathon! and be as nonchalant about as our boy Jin!

@Jimmer-jammer the only other thing I wanted was to see what BluePoint are cooking... Other than that it was an excellent show for me

@Wiceheid they have a weird blind spot for every single company they already gave their info to.

It is such a strange thing to get hung up over because you can almost guarantee they gave the same info to places like Reddit, twitter... godsdamned 4chan!... as well any number of subscription services and yet they balk at a process that takes a few minutes.

Yes some countries don't support PSN, just log in with details that smudge the truth about your location and if you can't do that then you probably having bigger fish to fry.

Jusant was fantastic, but most probably played it on gamepass and Banishers came out at a really busy period for me

@LifeGirl I can smell only one reason... HERESY!

I'm curious, when has Grubb ever been accurate without constantly repeating the same thing until it happens?

The best bit about this will be Deacon wearing other PS franchise shirts and that douche who directed it originally losing his mind no matter what

I have really clouded memories of the original Marathon trilogy, but i do remember it being mostly single player with a story. I was so excited when the reveal came for this new Marathon and then that excitement was slapped out of my hands and stomped on.

It sounds like it'll be really pretty but also extremely shallow like all extraction shooters.

Hollowbody and Caravan Sandwitch

One scratches my survival horror itch and the other calls to my nomadic soul (I'd give up everything if I could afford to constantly travel and explore new places IRL - my fave trips involve just booking plane tickets and a week at a simple, clean hotel and spending my time exploring, eating at non-touristy places and doing spur of the moment Stuff)

Lol Grubb is only right because he predicts a SoP every single time he opens his mouth, he's the human equivalent of a broken watch being right twice a day.

Good to see they still haven't hired someone to finesse their dialogue into something remotely sounding like an actual conversation.

@Tevor Remedy's deal was with the parent company so they're unaffected.

But yeah, there has to be more than 'You won't let us be our own corporate entity? Fine we all quit!' My money is on an unfair amount of revenue flowing back to the Big Suits at homebase rather than paying/incentivising the people who actually pulled in the revenue.

I'd consider buying a magnet or pin just so that in ten years I can find it and go 'The heck is this!?'

@ShogunRok In my head it sounds like sausage but contracted down to sauge

My partner and I only saw it because we have Unlimited Cards (£10.99 a month for as many Cineworld screenings as we can stuff in our eyes) and it was horrendous, badly written, mis-cast, unfinished cgi... even the Immaculate Cait Blanchet came up stinking in it.

I've been really looking forward to this for ages. With this and Hollowbody my indie needs shall be sated!

Yeah, no thanks.

This should be £599 with a disc drive... even then I'd be hesitant with how lacking PS offerings have been this gen.

I'm usually Mr. Positive, but unless something changes I'm going to be going all in on PC gaming because so far the PS5 has been mostly used for Hoyoverse games.

$915 in the UK is WILD!

No way does it equal that price in the States after taxes, no effin' way.

Honestly not much this weekend, mentally I'm just not up to focusing on a game, the most I'll do is some FFXIV dailies with the bestie.

I have, however, binged the entire season of Batman - Caped Crusader and thoroughly enjoyed it even if some of the character reimagining's didn't quite hit.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to Firewalk, I do hope they get a chance to salvage this mess before they're shut down.

@BasicalliLexi I'm really hoping we get better context in Wilds' story because yeah, to date they haven't done the best job of conveying why we do what we do as Hunters.

Won't stop me bonking a massive pink dinosaur on the head with a sledgehammer!

It's going to be so funny when the Concord episode genuinely slaps!

(Obviously it might suck, but gimme that unexpected redemption arc!)

I wonder if this will be close to what Overwatch was before it became Overwatch... Titan, although that was an MMO... unless it was gonna be an MMO in the sense that Destiny is an MMO?

I'll be interested to see if it ever see's the light of day

Yes*

*got a month of Ubi+ but the vram leak is making it run like bantha poodoo on my pc.. So I'm likely going to play other stuff this month and pick up Outlaws later on

I am a sucker for all things SAO! Just pump it directly into my veins.

The love for Croc pouring out in this comments section does my old heart good.

I've had a pretty good day and seeing this news upon getting home has been the cheery on top!

@man_what I feel it should be pointed out that for everything except Elder Dragons you don't have to kill them, you can capture them for examination and, if they aren't a danger, release back into their home ecology. You are encouraged by the game's mechanics (more and rarer loot) as well as the narrative to capture whenever possible.

Elder Dragons have to be killed because they will, without exception, destroy the biosphere they nest in either through predation or environmental contamination.

I do agree that the games could do a better job of showing this - we do see biomes that are a result of past ED contamination but it isn't ever made obvious unless you do a lot of digging.

But the killing thing, yeah you don't need to do that, only lazy or bloodthirsty hunters put the regular animals down in the field, so that's on you.

The boob harness is a little too on the nose... Other than that Yumia's design is great. I still need to finish the last trilogy though before I even think about this one

@crossbit Yeah, I don't think a lot of people realise that the Guild exists for conservation purposes, from a gameplay only perspective you're murdering animals to make gear, from the lore and narrative it is done to preserve the natural balance of the lands.

I unironically loved the first two films, they had no right being as entertaining as they were... I'll be there opening week!

@Korgon it's okay man, I have a decade on you and I cannae wait!

Sounds like a perfect "get a month of ubi+ to speed through" kinda game.... Which is exactly what I'm doing.

As much as I love my Vita I'd be hesitant to buy a new full handheld with how PS treated the Vita, it deserved so much better than it got... but if it had solid support I would be very much inclined to get one.

@mkr What politics are those?
