DIdn't buy it at launch. Played Medievil on it around launch at a friend's house and wasn't impressed. But about 2 months later, I was at another friend's who showed me Metal Gear Solid. The next day, during my lunch break I went and purchased one with MGS and Silent Hill (it had a cool cover). Went home and hooked it up as I lived close to work. When I was supposed to leave to go back to work, I called them and told them my car wouldn't start and had to take it to the shop. I then had the best gaming day of my life.

I have so many new games right now but Hell is Us is really fantastic. I love the way the story is unfolding and it really is the first game in a long time where I feel like I'm really exploring. So many other games claim this but literally direct you everywhere you need to go. There are so many secrets and the story is actually really thought provoking and relevant to so many things happening in the world today. I am completely loving it.

Man, what I wouldn't give for a modern day Metal Gear game with a version of Snake doing missions under the Trump Presidency. The only way it could end would be Snake sneaking into the Oval, and then shooting the commander in chief in the balls while he's choking on McDonalds. Epic.

Hell is Us is the main priority. It's so nice not being completely led and looking for all the secrets. Also, going to try and finally beat the Batman arcade driving game on the home arcade. I finally got a small numeric keyboard to attach to it for scenes where you have to input a code. Happy gaming everyone!

Kingdom Hearts 4, with a drunk and stoned Sora who will travel to space to meet Rey, who will be single handedly saving the galaxy by forcing all the planets into alignment and taking out all the heartless with her Jesus powers. Sora will then run off to the bar since he's not needed anymore, where he'll probably wind up in jail again. Then Rey will force sober him. The end.

I really wish I hadn't bought Mafia. Was a big fan of the previous games (I'm even one of the few who liked pt 3), and the thought of doing it in old Italy was really exciting. Instead we got a barely interactive movie. It's sad, the environments were beautiful, it had great characters, but it just was not much of a game. Wasted funds.

@rjejr I'm 51, have been a hardcore gamer since Space Invaders came out, and I play games now more than ever. My biggest issue now is I want to play everything (well, at least the games that are carbon copies of each other every year, such as Ubisoft, EA, etc). There are a lot of cash grab sinkers like Mindseye, but we've also had some really brilliant games lately. With so many outlets such as Twitch or Youtube now, it's easier than ever to weed out the stinkers. My kids also are both console gamers as well.

That's too bad. I was looking forward to the hours of glitch videos for their next game. The ones for Mindseye were hilarious.

I'm not sure why, but even though I'm a huge gamer I really don't have any interest in video game movies. I've watched a few of them, and they were mediocre at best. I have zero interest in this, especially knowing they will probably cast Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill as Beavis and Butthead.

I would definitely buy tickets to this. No question.

Started playing Lost Soul Aside. The combat is enjoyable and the horrible voice acting is a plus for me, as it often leads to unintentional hilarity. Also started Fear Effect again, this will be my 3rd playthrough but the last one was decades ago. It's rough around the edges but was so far ahead of its time. Outside of that I'm about halfway through Echoes of the End, which is a lot better than most people said it was. Happy gaming everyone.

@Corc11 Don't forget "Since you're the master of unlocking," and "You almost became a Jill sandwich!" My daughter, who is 13, loves quoting those.

I couldn't sleep last night so got my earbuds out and played this around 1 AM. Almost woke up the house laughing so hard at the kid scene. The combat is pretty good so far, and the bad acting and ridiculousness just adds to the hilarity. Total banger.

@LifeGirl Pretty sure that was part 2 where they added the character of Rain (it's been a few decades). It really pushed the M rating at the time as there was a sex scene between Hana and Rain, and quite a bit of gore as well.

I actually wishlisted this on Steam about a month ago. Got the email it went up this morning. Good news as I loved this game. The sequel was much better, so I hope that gets released as well.

Thanks for getting this out so quickly. Think I will give this one a try as I'm looking for some new Wukong like action to get into.

Good news, but where's my Esquie plush?

Looks like another crap CGI fest. I hated the first one. Passing on this. Hope everyone else enjoys it.

@tangyzesty It's a product of a TV culture that thrives on violence but treats sex as a taboo subject. Too many people's entire childhoods here are defined by sitcoms instead of playing outside and exploring the world.

Took a break from Sea of Thieves for a few months so tried it again last night as a new season just started, and wow, was it lame and underwhelming. Guess it's time for another break. Gonna to keep plugging away at Wuchang and Echoes of the End, which is a lot better than people are making it out to be.

I'm so tired of asymmetrical horror games. I'm not a big multiplayer fan, so it's not very appealing. I don't think the single player of this is going to be anything to write home about. Wish future titles would take note of the Hellraiser approach instead of carbon copying Dead by Daylight en masse.

@ErrantRob The developers stated that all the microtransactions would be cosmetic only. I only played it for about 8 hours, but it's one of the few games where I was not advancing the story, but rather just exploring. I could see it getting tedious at some point, as most 150 hour games do, but I was enthralled the whole time. There were tons of side quests and little mini games, as well as some weird unique situations. At one point, I got human trafficked, wound up in hell at another, and one of the only times I died during combat was being killed by a goose. You can also use a goose as your mount. It's a crazy game and I loved every second of it.

@Gamer83 It's a free game. I played the last beta and loved it.

I played the last beta for this and it was incredible. I can't believe it's a free game. I've been really missing it and can't wait for the full release.

I don't care if Game Science makes a game about paint drying, I will buy it. I'm a little familiar with Zhong Kui and this, like Wukong, should be nothing short of amazing.

I am so sick of the whining internet culture. Why would you want to take away other people's enjoyment? I miss the days before the internet, when the only time I had to listen to these people was when they came out from behind the 7-11 dumpster to ask me for drug money.

As much as I like Sutherland, his performance was disappointing compared to Hayter's. The wanting an older actor comment is baffling considering how well Hayter did in MGS4. Kojima severely disrespected him and his contribution to the series.

Nice! I've only seen a bit of this, but it's amazing how accurate some of the roads are. Day 1 puchase for sure.

Picked up Steel Seed on the PS5 sale. Decent game, nothing earth shattering but pretty solid. Still working through Wuchang. Was stuck on the Commander but somehow I beat her drunk the other night. Also just beat the Hell is Us demo, I really enjoyed it. Will be playing on day 1. Happy gaming everyone.

I have an Arcade 1up Outrun machine, for which I bought a mod from a company called Buy Stuff Arcades. Both this and Cruisin Blast are on it, as well as over 200 other driving games such as Forza 5, Mario Kart arcade, Burnout 3, etc. I had never played Fast and the Furious in the arcade before, but it's a ton of fun, much better than I had anticipated.

@armad11 Actually I looked it up and you are correct. You can stream if you have premium. I'll look into the encryption, thanks. Just strange that the PS5 remote plays fine on a PS4 but not that. Appreciate it, have a good one!

@armad11 I do have one, and sadly, you do have to connect. You can download games to play if you have the top tier PS Plus subscription, but you still have to sign in and use the PS5 to connect. My other issue is, it rarely plays well even though I have fast internet at my house (I work from home with only rare connectivity issues). It is constantly getting pixelated and disconnecting. I am not sure why I have those issues with the portal, because in my office I have an arcade machine with a PS4 connected to it. I can remotely play PS5 on that and rarely have issues. I have had no issues with the Lenovo so far, other than just having to tweak settings for certain games. Most everything on it plays perfectly though.

Since my kids are on 2 hour shifts with screen time, they've been alternating dominating the PS5 so I bought a Lenovo Legion Go last week. Still learning the ins and outs but it's an incredible device. Been playing South of Midnight since I couldn't play it before and am quite enjoying it. It's nothing earth shattering but it's unique and fun to play. Dove into Mafia a bit last night it feels more like an interactive movie than a game so far but I'm just scratching the surface. Other than that I'm slow at making progress in Wuchang, but I'm making progress. Really enjoying it as well but has some weird difficulty spikes. Happy gaming everyone.

This really is not my type of game and I dismissed it when it came out. But about a year ago I was reading an article about games that relive stress. I have a heart condition and am under a lot of stress at home so I decided to give it a try. It really does help! It's very relaxing and helps calm down anxiety I get sometimes. Will be purchasing this one.

@johncalmc Etsy has so much cool video game merchandise. I built an arcade in my house, and bought dozens of items to decorate it from Etsy. There are some amazing artists on there.

I am on the fence about the design philosophy of this game. I like the fact that they are going back to old school design of no maps and no hand holding. Hand holding has gotten completely ridiculous in a lot of modern games. However, the difference now is the games have become so massive and have so many areas that are off limits to explore initially due to overpowered enemies. There are some games that actually do a goop job of this (Rockstar games come to mind), but most where you relegated to a certain area because of difficulty. It will be interesting to see if they pull it off, but I will definitely dive into the demo to find out. Either way, it looks really interesting.

This is great news. Since China opened the floodgates for the games to reach international markets they have been absolutely killing it. Wukong was a total masterpiece, currently lost in Wuchang Fallen Feathers, and have been seriously addicted to the beta for Where Winds Meet, which sadly ends today. My mind is completely blown that Where Winds Meet will be a free to play game, when it has the caliber of a AAA title and so far has been another masterpiece for me.

Good God. So I bought Lies of P like a year ago, physically, on Amazon. Loved it. Was on NG+, about 2 chapters in when the DLC dropped. Had to get to the end of Chapter 9, which took a while. Then, no DLC. Looked online, followed instructions, nothing. Emailed Geowiz. No response. Did some online sluething, turns out the copy I had bought off Amazon was UK based and I am in America, so the DLC was not compatible. Debated, and decided since I loved the game so much I would buy it again digitally. Had to beat the game again to get to the DLC, and then on another NG + had to get to Chapter 9. So I bought the game 2 times, and now it's free 1 month later. Sigh. Just glad everyone can enjoy it now, expecially with the new difficulty options for players turned off by that. It's a brilliant game.

Maybe that shadow drop wasn't the best idea. I want to play this, but with frames literally locked up for 2-3 seconds at a time, it's just unplayable. I can play for about 5-10 minutes before it drives me insane. And this far after launch is unacceptable.

I seriously can't wait for this to come out, so I can totally not buy it.

How can someone determine the value of the price based on a demo? Until the game is played in its entirety, the value is only speculative.

@Fatewalker Thanks, good to know. It's interesting to see these days what people choose to attack and how. I try not to pay attention to all the online whining as it's just noise to me and so ridiculous. Have a good one!

Looks pervy. Does the Deluxe Edition come with tissues?

They really need to release this already. Been waiting like 2 years. C'mon, I'm drooling!

Wuchang Fallen Feathers. It's a lot better than the review given here. Also playing the beta for Where Winds Meet. There's a lot of choppiness in the cut scenes (it's a beta), but outside of that, this one is a masterpiece. Can't wait to dig into the full game. Happy gaming everyone.

@mazzel God, this is the dumbest argument ever. Exclusive to PLAYSTATION.

I've been playing this the last few days on PS5 and I disagree. It feels like they played maybe 2-3 hours and just wrote the review based off that. Does it re-invent the wheel? No, but combat is tight and satisfying. The madness system adds a lot of extra depth to it. The landscapes are gorgeous and I haven't had any technical issues with it at all, maybe that is a PS5 pro thing (I know the PC version was pretty bad). I'm having a lot of fun with it, and would probably give it at least an 8 so far (still a ways to go though).

@mazzel PS release date was November 2020
Demon's Souls (a remake) was released Nov 2020 on PS5 only
Spiderman Miles Morales was released in Nov 2020 on PS5 AND PS4
Sackboy A Big Adventure was released Nov 2020 on PS5 AND PS4
Releasing on both systems simultaneously is not the same thing.

The only joy I got from this game, aside from the Sabacc which I did enjoy, was laughing at all of the completely insane and hilarious glitches, from stormtroopers stuck in their speeder bikes on top of trees, AI that would look at piles of dead bodies I made say "there's a dead trooper here" then move on, to them constantly driving the bikes directly into huge boulders and exploding.

Wow, I've never been excited for a Battlefield game before but this looks amazing. Will wait and see how it review though.
