I am kind of sorry as this was a steady source of entertainment tbh

@ShadowRJ @DETfaninATL I will forever be thankful to Nintendo for picking up the series when SEGA did not fund it and I bought every release of the games. Still, it is a series that would thrive on PlayStation, Xbox and PC and just feels more at home on those platforms.

Thanks for the review! Looking forward to have the time to actually play this!

Whoa, between this collab and the Stellar Blade one, I'm actually starting to think those Bayonetta remake rumors might have some legs to them... fingers crossed! Btw this game roster is delightfully insane

I might actually find the time to play it and some refining is always good!

Looking forward to this! Will most probably not play on easy 😜 but there were people lamenting the difficulty of Stellar Blade so there are all sorts out there and we should be tolerant.

A game like death stranding 2 is an absurdly lavish anomaly that I can’t help but admire, love and respect.
I often wondered about how much it might have costed but PlayStation really shouldn’t, as they are throwing money out of the window on projects that have half the chances and 1/1000 the pedigree. Maybe don’t get the marketing rights for GTA6 (people will play it on PS anyway) or pursue a full bouquet of ill-fated GAS projects…just splurge on a gamer’s game like this. It could be the next big thing and either way, it will give you prestige.

I would like to be the voice of reason and I tell you all about how I have seen far worse trailers. Then I remember this got supported but I will have to play Kojima next two games on a PC. Why? If Sony is prioritizing casual players I might have to change my platform of choice, I didn’t have any problem distancing myself from the Wii/Ds-era Nintendo.

The review reads like a slightly dumbed down version of my kind of game (looks very good/has good combat) tbh but I am not that into Marvel.

@SodaPop6548 I get your point but the point is the first party reveals felt really lackluster: metered ravenous or Kirby did not impress me in the slightest and I will happily skip them in favor of (way too many) other projects. I preordered OoT after the Zelda direct, though!

Oh, boy. That is surely not a good time to release - P4R alone will cannibalize most of its potential market.

I know I will end up playing Laufey and then Revelation and then P4R at the first discount once I am done with those 2.

I loved Rebirth to bits so this is very good news! There will be plenty of extremely linear JRPGs releasing soon so let this one do its thing guys

@SodaPop6548 IDK yesterday's direct was really an uninteresting one. If it had been a state of play, people would have called it "the worst ever". I'd take the first 2 years of PS5 over these first 1,5 years of switch 2 easily.

Playing it arm - it certainly has an addictive and cozy quality but the difficulty seems extremely low and the setting is drab (for diegetic reasons too) and does not really invite you to get lost in it. A bit of a mixed bag for me.

Disappointed in Sony, and not confident in Xbox at all.

@Rhaoulos I mean, it has Hitoshi Sakimoto (Tactics <ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, Odin Sphere, Valkyrie Chronicles and many more) as musical producer...not too shabby.

@naruball Hahaha! I totally need specs. But the way they pronounce the title at the end made me childishly jiggle.

Enema what? I see they also hired someone from the bad title division at Square-Enix!

Looks good tbh

Didn’t see this one on the bingo cards! It could be very interesting and challenging - I will be reading first impressions etc

I am kind of still adjusting to this “everything releases everywhere” era. This feels very weird but, hey, Layton games are cool.

I can get behind this and easily spend some serious time with it. That said, the environments appear aggressively low budget and sparse from what we have seen so far, I hope there is more to them.

Edit: demo out now on PS5

Waiting for a sale but it does look amazing

One of the best PS titles this year! Hope to fine the time to play the Ng+ mode at least!

It was alright! Nice updates for good games, release dates and a couple of surprises.

Idk guys, its vibe is not my cup of tea at all but even leaving that aside I think it looks dated and lacks any personality. Glad Konami is trying new things, though.

@IllusiveMan in all fairness Remake and Rebirth look a million times better on PS5 and Rebirth in particular is basically another game altogether on Pro. Would recommend Switch2 only if it is your only option

Interesting, if a tad “wizarding world”. The song in the background was really something, though.

Will give it the benefit of the doubt but I find it quite hard to look at. The “crossover/patchwork” aesthetic is really not for me. Maybe the gameplay is a banger.

I am actually afraid of buying this game, the quantity of content seem ludicrous

If they are the same quality as Yuffie’s story, take my money. One of the best expansions I played with Mass Effect’s Citadel and The Witcher’s Blood and Wine.

Let us beat him up in a VR fight. I'll cast silence on him and berserk on the party.
Edit: oh wait he is probably immune to silence.

I don’t have the ps5 platinum so it will be an added bonus to collect some digital trinkets along the way.

@Neuromancer what do you mean Pluto channels are trash? You can’t ever watch enough episodes of Mtv catfish and people having 5 years long relationships with guys they have never seen or called.

@tameshiyaku they don't auto pop - that's the point. So if you have played on PS4 like 90% of us you will earn new trophies on PS5 (a separate list)

In for the Japanese games! I will tune out for FF7 because it's already a day one for me and I feel like they are showing too much! Announce a physical version for an easy win.

@tameshiyaku @DennisReynolds The PS5 version has a different set of trophies compared to the PS4, though. So, there's that: if you played the game on PS4 you will have to go through all the trophies again.

Lovely game that makes a ton of quality of life improvements over Zero Down and looks absolutely brilliant on Pro.
I am sure some people have actual complaints about it but I am equally sure a lot of the negative discourse around it comes form haters who haven't played a second of it and are just pushing a narrative.

@datamonkey it IS problematic that Naughty Dog still hasn’t released a new game on PS5 and Insomniac has indeed done a great job with PS5 and deserve all the praise but, with all due respect, I don’t believe their games are quite on the same level. And that is coming from someone that loves Ratchet and Clank.

Will most definitely be playing this day 1!

The wind’s howling, medallion’s humming, hype’s growing. Can’t wait!

@Futureshark I absolutely get your point but just want to point out that Disgaea Mayhem has a lovely physical edition.

I got this platinum out of stubbornness and love for the game at the time! This and Saros are pure dopamine.

God, it must be exhausting for studios to have xbox as publishers and employers.

Edit: I might finally buy one of their games as Hi-fi rush is 50% off - always looked like my cup of tea.

@gingerfrog I'm being cheeky, of course. This time around it wasn't just the usual small bubble of extremely loud and self- referred gaming enthusiasts, though.

To hell with PlayStation! Their decision to drop physical game support in 2028 had everyone ready to burn them at the stake and stand up for customer rights - for about a week, apparently.

@Dampsponge well, tbh these games will all still have physical editions - let’s: enjoy it while we can 🥲

I love Rodland, I used to play the Amiga version with my sister. I have the ACA release, but might add this to my collection as well.

This is pretty funny tbh - had a good chuckle.
Edit: also the GTA6 disc in the article image is just the cherry on the top XD

@subechin of course, I’m never arguing for the sake of it I will gladly look into it as it would be my hope they would produce more games on cartridges.

I found E33 a tad overhyped and derivative but that is a healthy mindset! Go for it!
