One of the biggest obstacles to modern day souls games is the inevitable nerf patch. I always have to rush through these games in the 1st week or two, because if I don't hurry I know the developer will gut the challenge. It's happened to almost every game with even a moderate level of difficulty I've played in the last few years.
@NathanKang To put in perspective how much longer people have been waiting for this game versus Silksong, the orginal Hollow Knight had not even been released yet when the first trailer for Lost Soul Aside dropped, much less any discussion on the sequel.
I watch gaming channels like Skillup and Gameranx for reviews and previews, but I've never actually sat down to just watch someone else play a video game.
I'd probably buy this if it had a disc drive. 90% of my games are physical and it just feels like a massive downgrade to buy a PS5 that won't even play PS5 games.

I'm kinda stunned by how lame it looks
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
Saros, Nioh 3, Code Vein 2, Crimson Desert, Wolverine. No big surprises, but getting release dates for most things was very nice.
Re: The Zelda Vibes Are Strong in Demi and the Fractured Dream, Coming to PS5
The developers really need to be careful. I hear Nintendo has a patent on keys, swords, and any game that looks interesting.
Re: Baby Steps (PS5) - A Rewarding, Surrealist Odyssey for Those Willing to Fail
This honestly looks like a 4/10 game. I'll just go back to Trails in the Sky and Silent Hill, thanks though.
Re: Mina the Hollower May Be Inspired by Game Boy Color, But You'll Be Able to Play It on PS5
With such a graphically intensive game I understand the lack of a PS4 release.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Pac-Man DLC, Open Beta Test Next Week on PS5
I am worried that they might be more focused on the DLC rather than making a good racing game. I'll have to wait and see.

Re: BioWare Flop ANTHEM Dies January 2026, Servers to Be Turned Off
I just assumed this game was taken offline years ago.
Re: SpongeBob, TMNT, Avatar DLC Confirmed for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
This would be more interesting if there wasn't 3 entire Nickelodeon Kart racing games already. I can already race as SpongeBob, Aang, and Leonardo.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About The Last of Us Part 2, 5 Years Later?
Sometimes I forget this is purely a Playstation site, until a poll like this drops and 93% of people have played Last of Us II.
Re: Anticipated JRPG Trails beyond the Horizon Delayed into January 2026 on PS5, PS4
I'm fine with it. Three full blown Trails games in one year was a bit too much anyway.

Re: Saros Is the Next PS5 Exclusive Game from Returnal Dev Housemarque, Coming 2026
This and Tides of annihilation were the big surprises for me.
Re: Rocksteady Lining Up New Single Player Batman Game After Suicide Squad Disaster, It's Claimed
I'm afraid it's most likely too little too late.
Re: You'll Need to Wait a Little Longer for Dead or Alive's Dating Game on PS5, PS4
Sorry GTA 6, this is the new front runner for game of the year.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 Is Already 70-80% Complete, Now in Polishing Phase for PS5
Currently playing through Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, I'd forgotten just how good this game is. Can't wait for the sequel.
Re: Vive La Return of Castlevania: Nocturne, Season 2 Is Almost Here
The orginal series is absolutely one of my favorites, strong recommendation for anyone with a Netflix account
Re: Updated AI Limit PS5 Demo Out Now as Pre-Orders Go Live
Looks awesome, but the First Beresker Khazan comes out on the same day and that game is one of my most anticipated of the year.
Re: Game of the Year: Khayl's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024
Glad FF7 grabbed the top spot here.
Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is my game of the year, and nothing else really comes close.
Re: Long-Awaited Lost Soul Aside Locks Down a 2025 Release Date on PS5, PC
@NathanKang To put in perspective how much longer people have been waiting for this game versus Silksong, the orginal Hollow Knight had not even been released yet when the first trailer for Lost Soul Aside dropped, much less any discussion on the sequel.
Re: Gamers Are Reportedly More Interested in Watching Games Than Actually Playing Them
I watch gaming channels like Skillup and Gameranx for reviews and previews, but I've never actually sat down to just watch someone else play a video game.
Re: Mini Review: Nine Sols (PS5) - The Best Metroidvania on the Market
@Frmknst both Ori and Nine Souls are on Gamepass, and a game's quality has nothing to do with which digital platform it's on.
Re: The Game Awards Under Heavy Criticism for Elden Ring DLC's Game of the Year Nomination
@Neverwild The last year for Geoff? I think that sounded more ominous than you meant it too.

@MeanBeanEgg You misspelled underrated
Re: Atlus Fans Don't Think Xbox's Marketing Is Doing Metaphor: ReFantazio Justice

Re: Date the Girls from Dead or Alive in Venus Vacation Prism for PS5, PS4
Nice to see them announce Game of The Year 2025 so early.
Re: Stellar Blade's NieR: Automata Collab Only Happening Because Yoko Taro Loves Money
