@meistergeister. Have you played the Steam Deck?

Much more impressive than clouds.

@awp69 I think the climax of Taxi Driver, shot from an overhead perspective, is an obvious inspiration as well.

But just because he is a member of a homophobic church doesn’t mean that he hates gay people. It simply means his pastor does.

@GreatAuk @theMEGAniggle. No. I’m pretty sure it’s because of his relationship with the anti LGBTQ church, Hillsong.

Spidey sense tingling.

I’m used to seeing the permanent presence of Animal Crossing and Mario Kart in the top ten, but now Super Mario Odyssey also. Seems like everyone with a Switch would already have that. Cannot believe there are so many new players to the Switch ecosystem.

At some point you guys should update Haven to reflect that it is available on PS+ Extra.
And Olli Olli World was a PS+ Essential game last month.

Nice Epic. Nice.

I imagine that all the people who tried Wo Long on Gamepass and then trashed it because they found it too difficult didn’t help sales either. Well deserved for Hogwarts though.

This is the game for the new headset that I am most excited about. I still play Rush of Blood occasionally and it is always a game I pull out to show people who are new to VR.

Like a Dragon: Ishin didn’t make it onto the European chart?

Words fail to describe how awesome this is,, so just put your hands in the air.

The E.T. videogame for the Atari 2600 anyone?

British Game?

Steel Rising is an underrated Souls-like. It’s definitely worth $24.99. One of my favorites from last year.

@Shigurui. Thank you. I was not aware of the PS5 upgrade for Gris. That is such a beautiful contemplative game. Looking forward to revisiting for the plat.

Patience. That is your lesson for today. Patience.

@Grimwood. Probably not the best idea to trash talk the Yakuza games on this site.

I call BS on the one percent who claim that they don’t even know what Harry Potter is.

The first game was fun but the zero gravity sections were a little disorienting and difficult to maneuver for me while hunting for collectibles. Are there more chapters like that?

At least they kept the base fighting mechanics. I am a big fan of the Yakuza series but don’t really dig the shift to turn based combat now that it’s Like a Dragon.

Did anyone here ever get the free adapter from Sony to plug the PSVR 1 into the PS5? I think I requested that over a year ago.

@Matej. I was reluctant to buy a Steam Deck at its price point, but my son really wanted one. I must say that it is a truly impressive piece of hardware. Seeing something like Red Dead Redemption 2 run on a handheld is nothing short of amazing. And we got a docking station for Christmas, so now he is able to play on a big television using a PS5 controller. It’s great for those games that are not available on PlayStation. That being said, the new Zelda is coming out soon and I don’t think a successor to the Switch is coming any time soon.

Do coconuts have souls?

Broke down and bought The Last of Us Part 1 for the PS5 for Christmas. Giving it a play through now before the show starts. I’m hoping to finish in a week or two then be able to watch the first two or three episodes back to back. Just the load screen alone brings back a ton of memories.

Oxenfree had the best mechanics for branching dialogue choices of any game ever. It was intuitive, easy and incredibly smooth with instant transitions. I hope other developers took notice.

@rjejr I’m sure that you have already played It Takes Two (if not, buy it immediately), but this developer’s earlier game is a great co-op experience as well. It’s called A Way Out, is about a prison escape, and is free on Extra. It’s only a few dollars on sale in the PS Store if you don’t have Extra. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

I will speak up for the underdog. Season looks absolutely delightful. I love the art style and the game mechanics look chill. This is the type of game I can get lost in.

Ho Ho Ho. And one more ho to fill the word requirement.

Finally, A Plague Tale: Requiem on someone’s list.

@dschons. Agree completely. Would have been my number four or five choice.

This is the way game announcements should be. A few months before release and a nice surprise for everyone.

@Amnesiac. Powerstone. What a great game. I miss the Dreamcast.

HBO makes quality programming. I am confident that this show will please fans and newcomers alike. Broke down and purchased the remake as a Christmas gift for me and my son. We have both played it before, but it will be nice to revisit before the show starts.

That’s odd. Several months back, you guys had a brief announcement about another horror game set in the bunkers of WW1. Ad Infinitum, I believe it was called, and to be honest, it looked better.

@NeThZOR. I read that as sarcasm from @Ravix. Maybe I’m wrong.

I just noticed that he only purchased $20,000 worth of stock. Imagine ruining your career and reputation (and possibly facing a jail sentence) for twenty grand.

Is that a recent photo? He looks too young to have created Sonic.

I understand that games have to leave the service, but I wish Sony would give us a little more notice. Two weeks isn’t enough time for me to knock out the Mafia titles for example.

@nessisonett Assault maps are now grouped together and rotate in and out of arcade mode.

@Agramonte. I think Valve announced in early October that they had shipped over a million Steam Decks, one of which was delivered to me. A million units as opposed to the ubiquity of a cell phone. I don’t play mobile games, but I can see why companies would want to invest in that market.

@Robocod. Is that the same Magnetic Fields with Stephin Merritt of 69 Love Songs? I knew that he had done the music for Coraline on Broadway but did not expect him to do video game soundtracks. Although his early albums were almost all synthesizer, so maybe.

@BAMozzy. I’m not sure if you know how quotation marks work.

This game also has a wonderful original sound track by Japanese Breakfast. It suits the art style well.

This title is free in the Epic Games Store until Wednesday, November 2, along with Warhammer 4K, for those who play on computer. I didn’t realize it was new until the mini-review.

Who the hell rated this a 1 (abysmal)? Certainly you could not have enjoyed the first game and given this a 1. And if you didn’t enjoy the first game, then why play the sequel? I somehow doubt that person even played the game.

Is this a mobile game? Why is everything grey?

Looking for a horror themed game for Halloween, but I didn’t want to spend the money on A Plague Tale with GoW so close, so I downloaded The Medium from Extra. It is much more enjoyable than I expected from reading the general comments here. Very atmospheric, quality voice acting, and I quite like the fixed camera as I am an old school horror fan. It’s much better than Tormented Souls, which is another similar, modern horror throwback on PS4 and PS5. And the soundtrack is excellent. Really adds to the tension. I cannot wait to jump back in, although I will probably wait until it gets dark. Bloober Team gets too much criticism. I think the Silent Hill 2 remake is in good hands.

If it were a tease, knowing Sony recently, it would probably be for a PC port rather than a console remake or remaster.
