Great month! First time I'm excited about all 3 games. Would love to play It Takes Two with the gf. I have played a bit of TemTem in the beta on steam, would love to finish it someday. And the Alien game sounds pretty interesting as well. 9/10 month for me.
A portable system is perfect for indies, but playing AAA games is terrible on such a tiny screen. So I really don't need anything more powerful than the switch as a handheld.
I'm so burned out by AAA games. Everytime I boot one up it just feels incredibly bland, boring and like I played that game a million times already. I just can't get through what many people consider to be classics (H:ZD, GoW, TLoU). There are very few exceptions, like Returnal. But other than that, my most enjoyable games on the PS5 have been indies.
I instantly deleted Doom Eternal off my PS5 after finding out I had to log in to a Bethesda account. I'm glad I didn't pay any money for that BS.
I probably do have a Bethesda account somewhere, but I really don't want to go through the troubles of finding my password just to play a ffing single player campaign.
@Maubari I have a huge backlog and very little desire to play games on day 1. Also the game is almost guaranteed to come to PS + at some point, I would be foolish to buy it for full price.
The first two games were decent platinums. Good games but they get pretty repetitive near the end. Hopefully the 3rd installment can keep things fresh.
Just finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and tbh, the last few hours felt like a slog. I really need to something to get some adrenaline pumping. While Ys VIII is next on my backlog, I might try out something like ghostrunner.
I didn't believe him right after the ban when he said that "nothing happened" and that he didn't know why he was banned. And now I assume the situation is way worse then what he describes.
Hopefully this is gonna be the last thing I hear of this piece of sh*t.
Imo FromSoftware games are more tedious than difficult. Putting a knowledge check onto every encounter by throwing random BS at you doesn't make a game more challenging, just more time consuming.
The one game in the direct that really caught my eye was MIO. Has a lot of Ori and Hollow Knight vibes to it, for me it was the the most interesting announcement at the direct.

Re: Mini Review: Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist (PS5) - Peak Metroidvania Action
The first one was fun, so I should definitely check this one out.
Re: Psychic Force Designer's New PS5, PS4 Shooter Sounds Like Anime Returnal

Hopefully this game can do it better.

Re: Poll: Will the Switch 2 Compete with PS5?
Nintendo excels at screwing up after a major commercial succes. So let's just wait and see if they can break that cycle.
Re: Reminder: PS Plus Extra, Premium Lose These 11 Great Games in a Week
It really sucks that RE2 is leaving. I wanted to platinum it at some point.
Re: You'd Better Believe The Last of Us 2 Demands a PSN Account on PC
Pretty terrible to put that requirement in single player games. Then again it doesn't affect me because I'm never buying it anyway.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog Is Now a Billion-Dollar Movie Franchise
Hopefully the movies are better then that Frontiers game.
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' 20 Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2025

Re: Talking Point: Would You Want a Steam Deck-Like Portable PlayStation?

Re: 14 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Silent Hill 2?
Too many games in my backlog and not enough money, so I gotta wait for a sale unfortunately.
Re: Until Dawn (PS5) - Killer Teen Slasher Snags a Pricey New-Gen Remake
The original still holds up really well.
Absolutely a unnecessary remake I'm probably never gonna touch.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2024 Announced
I'm so hyped for Dead Space!
And I'll give Doki Doki a replay for the platinum.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes PSN Login Requirement
I instantly deleted Doom Eternal off my PS5 after finding out I had to log in to a Bethesda account.
I'm glad I didn't pay any money for that BS.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
Tbh I don't even think the upgrade from PS4 to PS5 was worth the price tag. I'm definitely not touching the PS5 pro anytime soon.
Re: PS Plus Extra's September Cull Has 4 More Great PS5, PS4 Games Added to It, 16 in Total
Glad I finished 13 Sentinels last month. It's very overrated imo but still pretty enjoyable.
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
@Maubari I have a huge backlog and very little desire to play games on day 1. Also the game is almost guaranteed to come to PS + at some point, I would be foolish to buy it for full price.
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
Cool, can't wait for it to get on PS +.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
I'm one of those very few people that has never fully watched a Star Wars movie. This franchise is not for me.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024 Announced
Only Little Nightmares II for me, quick platinum and then I'm done with the selection.

Re: Don't Expect to See Kazuma Kiryu or Goro Majima as Guest Fighters in Tekken, Street Fighter
I really dislike guest characters in general. Not everything has to be cross universe nowadays.
Re: Interview: Cat Quest 3 Dev on the Success of Its Delightful RPG Series, and What's Next for the Studio
The first two games were decent platinums. Good games but they get pretty repetitive near the end. Hopefully the 3rd installment can keep things fresh.

Re: Capcom Says It Won't Give Up on Physical Games, Despite Utter Domination of Digital Sales
I don't care about physical, I'm just waiting for moment when all media becomes NFT based.
Re: Talking Point: Was Sony Right to Resist Adding PS5 Exclusives to PS Plus Day One?
I usually have no desire to play new AAA titles on day 1. There are enough great games on PS+ Extra I have yet to play.
But I do believe that an additional tier with day 1 (or even early acces) titles could work, just make the pricing sustainable.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 536
Decided to go back to south park the fractured but whole to get the platinum, I also started Resogun.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Zenless Zone Zero?

I don't really buy games anymore, I might make an exception for Hi-Fi Rush since I don't see it coming to PS Plus.
Re: Dr Disrespect Admits Messages to Minor 'Leaned Too Much in the Direction' of Impropriety
I didn't believe him right after the ban when he said that "nothing happened" and that he didn't know why he was banned.

Hopefully this is gonna be the last thing I hear of this piece of sh*t.

Re: Helldivers 2 Blasted with Over 200,000 Positive User Reviews Following Sony's PSN Backtrack
Dumb decisions give negative reviews while good decisions give positive reviews.
I feel like there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere.
