Re: Praise, Raiden! Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Adds Mythologies, Special Forces

belmont

@shiningpikablu252 I have the Master System versions of MK1 and 2 (not 3 since I am from Europe) and the Game Gear versions of all 3 games. I have seen videos of the Master System version of MK3. It is basically as you describe a kind of zoomed out version of the Game Gear version of MK3 which is pretty bad.

Still, this collection is all about game preservation, so everything should be on the table.

Fantastic package even if Gold is not added. I will be there day one. Of course there are more that they could one like the N64 version of Trilogy, or Master System or Saturn versions but the package is perfect.

I will get the digital version day one but I could also consider a physical version that is widely available and has all possible DLC and updates included.

Re: Death Stranding 2 Delivers Five Hour PS Plus Trial Next Week

belmont

Who am I to judge but offering a trial may look like that the game is not selling that well.

That said, unless I am terribly mistaken, this game along with Demon Souls are the only PS5 exclusives. I liked DS1 but I am not in a hurry to get the second part. Seemed like the story was more or less over when I finished the first game.

Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Has More Games to Reveal, But Don't Hold Your Breath for PS2 Era

@Lanmanna @LikelySatan It is not that I have done an extensive research on it. When MK11 was released parts of the fanbase were not pleased with the de sexualisation of all female (and only female) characters and because they made some of them act dump (for lack of a better term). Then in those old Reddit and forum board posts you could find relevant quotes from people that worked in the game aka that the depiction of female characters in older games was not good and they wanted to appeal to a more general audience etc.

I don't know what sense does those stuff make since this is Mortal Kombat not realistic fighting simulator.

Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Comic Gets an Affordable DC Compacts Reprint

I still have on display the Wonder Woman vs Batman statue that was included in the collector edition of Injustice. The first issue of the Year 1 was also included in said collector's edition and I paid 89€ for it. I don't even want to think how much an edition like this would cost today.

All Injustice comics are good in my opinion.

The last games will most likely be Mythologies, Special Forces and Mortal Kombat Gold. Other versions will be added as DLC like the PS1 version of MK4, the N64 version of Trilogy, the Game Gear version of MK2 etc.

As much as I would like to have the PS2 games may be in the second volume if this sells well. I don't think so by the way since this company has not tackled the PS2, to my knowledge.

As for MK vs DC and MK9 the situation is not easy. There are various right issues (MK9 has since pong veen delisted) and apparently the developers do not like the depiction of women in those games thinking it outdated which is of course non sense.

Re: The Next Xbox Is a PC, So What Does That Mean for PS6?

belmont

Even if the new Xbox is a PC it will have a Steam Deck interface, you want even know that it is a PC if you do not want to tinker it. And if you include all PC digital stores, Xbox Backwards Compatible program and community emulators the new Xbox could, in theory, play all games that have been released... ever. I am definitely interested. I know that in principle the Steam Deck does all of the above but a high end system with a console like OS is what I always wanted. Now that Square Enix has left PlayStation exclusivity and since all single player PS games will be on PC you could argue that this makes PS hardware a bit irrelevant. I personally, after I bought FF Rebirth the only other PS4 and 5 games I bought are occasionally retro games like Dino Crisis and Ridge Racer.

Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster's Expensive Collector's Box Doesn't Include the Game

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare In PS4 you can play the digital games in as much consoles as you can but you have to be online. You can set a console as primary for offline play. I have not tried this on PS5 since I only have one console.

As for the topic... It is not a big deal. I may go for the Steam version but I may want some extra collectables. Square did the same with the latest Life is Strange.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for June 2025?

belmont

You forgot Bloodstained. I loved the original. I backed the PS4, Vita and Wii U copies and got the PS4, Switch and Steam copies! Since then I have the platinum trophy on PS4, all the achievements on PC, I 100%ed the awful Switch version and bought the game again on Xbox and got all the achievements again. Needless to say I loved the original and look forward to the sequel.

Re: Hellblade 2 Finally Getting Physical Edition on PS5, Courtesy of Limited Run Games

belmont

@Flaming_Kaiser The shipping was delayed multiple times actually. I was obviously aware of the import fees but the huge detail plus not having the latest update in the disk made the whole thing pointless.

Also, I don't really get the point to see the number of physical game sales. There are a lot of articles in this site that paint the picture that retail is much less than digital. Also, if you remove digital at all you remove all PC gamers and games in countries that do not have access to retail games. Digital accessibility literally created the indie game scene and ensures gaming preservation...

Re: Chaotic Crossover Brawler Ys vs. Trails in the Sky Reveals Its Roster Ahead of PS5, PS4 Summer Release

belmont

I have beaten all main line games of YS (and Trails, except Daybreak 2) multiple times and stll I don't like that Adol does not speak. It seems to be a relic of an old era when mute characters were around for some reason. I always find it hard it to connect with mute characters. However, Adol always finds girlfriends without speaking at all so who am I to judge?
