Had a fun time with Kona while it was part of the Extra/Premium tier selection. Nice atmospheric, slowburn kind of game. Definitely a bargain for that price!

Meanwhile, for me, I keep waiting for Sonic Superstars to hit $30 or less digitally. It's been that cheap on Amazon, but this is a rare case where I would rather get it digitally.

I really hope we'll get a trailer for Ghost of Tsushima 2. And maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but a debut trailer showing gameplay. Because gameplay will tell me it could be a 2025 or worst case, 2026 game. If we get a teaser with no gameplay, it's probably 2-3 years out at least. Considering the first game is going to be 4 years old this year, you hope the sequel is coming within the next year or two.

The Digital Deluxe edition was on sale recently (if it's not still), and I think it was $43 give or take for the game and season pass which includes all 3 DLCs. I jumped on that because I figured a Complete Edition was gonna be more expensive.

This right here. I've had two DualSenses get left stick drift. And one with right stick drift. Enough already.

This is actually kinda funny lol. Hero Wars is the bane of my YouTube viewing experience. I think I've seen literally 500+ ads for that game, and it always looks different.

Good: My decision to hold off on Plague Tale and Evil West paid off. Had both in my wishlist for months but was waiting for an amazing sale or... this!

Bad (just specifically for me): Just bought NStW on sale this month. This is after December Extra/Premium games added Tinykin to the list, which I also bought at the same time as NStW.

Oh well, pretty happy overall.

@Jaz007 inFamous 1&2 is like the big missing piece for older PS2/PS3 remasters.

Most of the major PS2 and PS3 franchises got HD remaster treatment on PS3/PS4. Ratchet and Clank, multiple GoW games, Uncharted, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, The Last of Us, Ico/SotC, and several more.

Where's inFamous 2 HD? Would love to play it again, on PS5.

I wonder if Embracer can sell off the license rights to another studio, or if Disney has any power to do anything? Can't help but feel it would be in better hands with another dev team.

lol I almost want to compile a list of "games I buy on sale and put in my backlog, only for them to be free on PS+ a year later". I feel the length of that list would frighten me.

Might be something I check out for under $20 but oof. Sad news.

I have some memories still of this game, most of them not good lol. Remember needing cheat codes to beat Darth Maul at the end.

Anyone remember Jedi Power Battles? Wonder if that'll come over.

I just recently started Xenoverse 2. An excuse to play through FighterZ again on PS5 would be an added bonus. Between those two games and the new Budokai (whenever that's coming out), and the new arcs of Super hopefully being animated soon, not a bad time at all to be a DBZ fan.

That actually would make a lot of sense. And that would help me from pulling the trigger on the Black Friday sale price for it right now. $35 seems like an amazing deal, but if it's gonna hit Plus then maybe it's best to wait. Question is, how long?

I figured it would be wishful thinking to hope Baldur's Gate 3 or Armored Core 6 might get a small discount.

Also just friendly reminder for those who are considering pulling the trigger on some things. Be wary of overlapping sales that may have deluxe editions on sale for the same game. Last year I got burned when I bought Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga and Sonic Origins in the BF sale for $29.99 and $19.99 respectively. Two days before the BF sale ended, another one started which overlapped. Both games had the deluxe editions on sale for $34.99 and $24.99 respectively. I was SO pissed lol.

So maybe consider waiting until the sale is almost over before doing anything.

I'm totally dying for a very standard Gundam experience with no multiplayer stuff, but it feels like there's very, very few of those, and I assume this game here is probably the same.

Rest of the games seem ok, nothing crazy. I'll have to look at a few to know more.

@DonkeyFantasy Agreed. I wish they'd kill off the PS4 already, but supposedly Sony plans to launch games for it all the way up through 2025.

By 2025 the PS5 will be closing in on 5 years old and we'll probably be hearing EARLY PS6 rumors at that point. Yet the PS4 will still be getting new games.

Could see it being a DMC type of deal... Miles takes point for the first half of the story, then because of story reasons, Peter has to get called back into action and joins late either 1/3 of the way or 1/2 of the way and you switch temporarily, before being able to use both of them freely again.

Like many fans, Peter Parker is my og, my childhood, etc. so I always like playing as him. But I love Miles too, so this is not a dealbreaker if they really get rid of Peter.

I think this game looks interesting, but definitely waiting for another price drop.

On the one hand, these feel worse (just my personal opinion) than the predictions I was seeing: Midnight Suns, Plague Tale Requiem, Forspoken, etc. On the other hand, I don't have any of these, so maybe it'll be worth a look.

Visually it looks pretty darn good. I just feel like my excitement is dampened slightly by the idea that this looks like a 1:1 remake. I'm guessing there will be some interface changes, QoL updates, etc., but the map areas so far look 1:1 to the original, just prettier.

I think remakes, especially when we're talking 3 generations ago should bring something new, strike that balance of recreating the original but modernizing it, improving it, etc. Like I want to play MGS3 and experience something new and better than the first time I ever played it. I'm worried this is just gonna be exactly the same game but just with great visuals (not that it's a bad thing).

I've had one crash and one visual bug, roughly 16-18 hours in. The visual bug was an invisible building with all the interior objects still visible.
