@riceNpea The Holidays to me are from Thanksgiving through New Year's.

Hmmm... might get during the holiday sale if properly patched.

No way. Ryan had his hands all over this, as he spearheaded the whole shift to live service. I'm still convinced Sony fired him once they realized taking this route was a huge blunder.

@DETfaninATL That's golf, not baseball.

Pass for me. Super Mega Baseball 4 destroys MLB the Show, so much so that I can't even play it anymore.

Wow, that really stinks.

@jrt87 Okay, fair enough; I can live with medium-ish at 60 fps with dips... if I have to, I guess I could wait for the Pro.

@KeanuReaves Yeah no way this runs on "low" settings at 40 fps.

@CWill97 Unpopular opinion, but I think you played the best ones. I think the Dark Souls titles are the weakest of all the Soulsbornekiring (!) games. Don't get me wrong, they are still great, but to me those others are better.

I was able to get a couple directly from the PS store a few hours after they went live. Was actually surprised how easy it was.

Yes; I'm in NG+ and too strong, but it's epic.

@chucksneed apparently you don't understand the joy of exploration and of there not being something amazing around every single corner. The map is still packed with tons of stuff! And yet it still feels like a living breathing organic world.

BG3 is probably my second favorite game of all time, just after Elden Ring. They removed the awkwardness and repetitive elements from the Divinity games and made something truly special, with deep characters and an overarching story I cared about. The turn-based combat is probably the best I have ever seen, and I dearly hope they don't change that (I can't stand real time with pause, it's way too confusing). I will admit to being concerned about them not holding on to the DnD license, but I have a feeling that, regardless, they will be giving us some excellent titles for years to come.

Now this is gorgeous! Great recovery after that ugly Concord one.

Best genre of game — keep them coming! There's really only a couple good clones now and again; if you avoid the mediocre and lousy ones, it's not too many.

Wow that is ugly.

Looks like they still didn't fix the Karlach romance glitch at Last Light Inn, which is a massive one.

@ShogunRok Yeah I still prefer the PS4 interface.

@zhoont Yeah I can't see why I would play this as opposed to replaying the original (not that I replay games).

@Dominator2885 DD's narrator pretty much makes the game — he's that good.

Tailby has it right!

I'm one of those who hasn't played Borderlands 3. In fact, I haven't played any of them . I don't find them appealing in any way, from the art style to the general vibe.

@Shepherd_Tallon Yes! We NEED King's Field.

Played them all and beat them all, including all the DLC, but I've always said the games would be better if they were about 15% easier, and I stand by that. Also nothing wrong with offering difficulty options for people who are not as skilled or who are disabled.

I would be really excited if it were Horizon gameplay with Lego characters and sets; but I'm sure it features the usual Lego gameplay, which I'm not a fan of.

Had no problem with it before, have no problem with it now.

Awesome update. Unfortunately, I rarely go back to a game once I've closed it out. And my backlog is insane. So probably I will just wait for the new one, which I'm pretty excited about.

@Olmaz My thoughts, as well. Good for you.

Just hoping Keighley can find the class to wear shoes, rather than his appalling sneakers. with his odd suits.

So many of these Sekiro/GoT clones now or upcoming; going to have to rely on reviews before getting hyped about most of them (Wukong does still have my attention, though!).

@Deljo Yeah, the head of Naughty Dog clearly has nothing to do his team being successful. Lol

Declining attention spans, instant gratification culture, and the dumbing down of society are the likely culprits.

Way to ruin a franchise, Atari! Why can't somebody just make a decent Yars' Revenge sequel?

Don't care. Have had zero interest in the entire series since day one.

Another awful selection.

Great news. The more they fail hopefully the more they push companies to stick with single player games.

@ShogunRok Bicorn Overlord would be more "correct", but Duocorn definitely sounds way better!

Please make an actual tactics RPG next instead of a micromanagement sim.

This sounds like DD1. It was so hyped to me as an amazing cult classic must-play, and I put in a good number of hours trying to find the fun. Eventually, I realized it just wasn't. I think all the above comments have convinced me to pass on DD2, which I was already leaning toward doing.

Not interested, tbh. Not a huge fan of parrying as a primary mechanic, the creatures are gross, and the world is apocalyptic/destroyed and depressing; as a result, it's not a setting I want to spend time in.

@CrackmanNL He may have done some good things in the past, but it's pretty obvious with the timing of everything that he was asked to leave. He pushed all these live service games and put the company in a serious hole. He oversaw the awful Bungie acquisition. There are almost no PS5 first party exclusives. He has no respect for classic games and Playstation's history (he has been quoted on this), and the PS Premium lineup has largely been a joke. He has no gaming sense, and most of us are thrilled he is gone.

I found the demo dull, but they obviously put a lot of effort into it, so I was generous and gave it a 5. If you actually fought the battles, I think it could have grabbed my attention. For background, I'm a huge Vandal Hearts and FFT fan, so it's not like I don't enjoy Tactics RPGs.

Celebrating the man who helmed the ship and crashed it into an iceberg feels really odd. He set PlayStation back a decade.

I think this looks pretty amazing and is a very creative take on the genre. Hopefully the gameplay lives up to the promise shown here.

Majora's Mask for the first time ever. I was never interested in it, but a friend encouraged me to try it. I beat Ocarina of Time for the first time last year, even though I have owned it since release.

I recently wrapped up FF 16

Hope she doesn't ruin her beauty to get all jacked up.

Amped about this. The only negative is it is lacking TR4.

No issue with this. Naughty Dog makes elite single player content, and many of us want more of that.

@ItsBritneyB_tch Didn't disown them, that's the part that sounds silly. I also don't tell them what to enjoy, which also sounds silly. But I don't have to pay for their bad taste.

I just get them gift cards now.

I bought my nephews and niece a Switch years ago, along with Mario Odyssey. Months later, I found out my youngest nephew only was using it, and he was only playing Fortnite with it. No one had touched Mario Odyssey. That was the final time I bought them any gaming items. It was a sad day.
