Nabbed it and topped off! Thanks for the heads up!

Nabbed it (even though I had it already on plus). Thanks for the heads up!

I feel like the headline is misleading - it's a TIMED exclusive. It doesn't even say "timed exclusive" in the article to clarify.

Seems cool! I'm excited to try it out!

@PhhhCough It's always been a negative. You're discounting the key word: too. The difference between trying and trying too hard is that the latter ends up feeling inauthentic and/or hollow.

@Nepp67 Evil Within 3 would 99.9% for sure be Xbox exclusive. However, Ghostwire Tokyo (same dev as Evil Within) is still coming to PlayStation. Looks to be amazing!

I didn't really enjoy this one. Felt like it was trying way too hard.

I'd recommend Hotline Miami over this 11 times out of 10.

I'd love to play a remake of Parasite Eve!

I know everyone loves Chrono Trigger, but I had trouble getting into it for whatever reason. Actually, maybe a remake would help?

Started Amnesia: AMFP a couple days ago, and will likely finish that up. It's not great but it's so short I might as well see it through. I know people love Amnesia, especially the first one, but I haven't really liked either one. I didn't like Justine either. I think a remake with better lighting, textures, and HDR implementation would go a long way to improve the experience, but I don't know, maybe it's just not for me. I don't really enjoy the gameplay anyway. I didn't really like Soma either.

On a more positive note, I finally started The Swapper last night (after getting tired of paying Amnesia), and so far it's been really interesting - I'm only 30 minutes or so in, but I'm excited to progress and see where the game goes, both mechanically and story-wise.

Maquette looks amazing - that's the highlight for the month in my opinion. FF has never really appealed to me 🤷‍♂️

I'll get it when it's on GamePass

That was underwhelming to say the least. Woof.

@orson Where?

I'd love to see Observer: System Redux, and/or Avengers

Never played Borderlands, but I tend to enjoy these types of games. Would it make sense for me to play this?/Would I enjoy it despite knowing nothing about the franchise?

Walking Dead Final Season is the best season since the first IMHO - highly recommend if you like those kinda games.

@Fyz306903 Animals are not morally responsible for their actions - humans are.

Has Second Extinction already been forgotten? Just because it's not announced for Playstation doesn't mean it doesn't exist

@GrimWillows That's Jack the Pumpkin King. Seriously though, how incredibly unoriginal. If the title of the game is that generic and derivative, I don't have much hope for the game itself being anything special.

Dude on PureXbox gave it an 8. Either way, I'll play this eventually as I enjoyed the first one. With so many great games to play, I'll probably just slide this one down the list and wait for a good sale.

An absolute masterpiece gets even better? If you haven’t played this yet, it looks like there’s never been a better time to start.

Probably should just put it on PS Plus and Game Pass if they want more people to play/invest

A step in the right direction - well done 👍

Doesn’t look good at all in my opinion - I’ll stick with single-player campaigns for my Resident Evil experiences

@OneManDroid Hmm.. I gotta disagree with your assessment here. I found the shooting in Control to be anything but boring, and vastly superior to Quantum Break in both weapon, and enemy variety. The launch mechanic is also tons of fun, especially after all the upgrades. Character movement variety I would say is about equal, but being able to fly around in Control I thought was more fun than the different things you can do in QB such as super speed running or freezing enemies in place. Both great games, and to each their own for which is better 🤓

@fingalf “There will be full DualSense support, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, while the release will also support PS5’s Activities system.”

-The article above 😋

Awesome! Cannot wait for more details. The reboot trilogy are some of my favorite games of all time.

I haven’t subscribed for over 5 years now... I’m back in 👍😎👍

Are there lives? Any punishment for death besides resetting to checkpoint?

@Lumic I suppose I’ll have to give them both a go then - I appreciate your response, thanks!

@Wolfie_Pie I also felt a little queasy playing this - I turned off the camera movement wobble in the options, and that helped quite a bit. Still, resolving the camera stuttering issues would of course be ideal.

Finally finished RE remake last night (with the help of a guide) - it only took me what, 4 years?

Had to take a break from it after putting in about 25 hours, but now I'm ready to jump back into Horizon Zero Dawn later today.

Thinking about playing RE3 Nemesis soon... Anyone have an opinion or recommendation on whether or not I should play that before playing RE3 remake? Is it worth it to see the differences (how different is it?) or is the remake so much better that I should just skip the original?

If a remake is too similar to the original, it doesn’t justify its own existence imho.

Also, why would they skip remaking Code Veronica? You know, a game that would actually benefit from being remade...

I initially enjoyed this game, but I saw the trappings and decided to force myself to give it up after a few hours before I spent any money, or became too invested and stuck treading water for countless hours of my life. However, I may return to it some day when it’s actually possible to complete the story/beat the game.

In case anyone actually takes the trolls seriously, I just want to say this looks like it plays extremely differently than Sea of Thieves and the comparison is about the equivalent to saying that Halo is a rip off of Contra.

@theMEGAniggle Imagine if Nex Machina was played from a 3rd person perspective - it would still be an arcade style shooter - that’s what this looks like to me.

@theMEGAniggle For me it’s because it looks like a glorified arcade game. Perhaps I’m wrong, and I would honestly love to be wrong here. My interest is piqued by the style and setting, but I’m also very cautious because so far I’ve seen nothing showing this game to be a large scale adventure. Looks like a mid-size $40 game to me - at least, so far. I think people just need more info - I know I do before I make a decision on this one.

@playstation1995 Wha? It’s almost nothing like Outlast 2.

It was a better idea than a game (in my opinion). I liked the presentation much more than the actual gameplay, and was a bit disappointed after finishing it. I saw it through because I loved the story and watching the cutscenes was a joy, but the game itself... meh. Whenever I see a game with fantastic style, I always think of this game and wonder if the gameplay will actually be as good as the game looks. Hopefully a sequel would polish and flesh out gameplay mechanics, and it will actually be fun to play as well as look at. Would be very cautiously optimistic for a sequel.

So far on my PS5 I played through:
Astro’s Playroom
Walking Dead Final Season
Magic Circle
Arkham Knight
and I just started Horizon Zero Dawn

So yeah, 99% PS4 games, hahaha..

Just started Horizon Zero Dawn this morning

Played through the entire Arkham series for the first time over the last 6 months - cannot wait for more! I just hope this game will be enough to scratch the itch!

Let’s have a new poll where we vote on whether or not Horizon Zero Dawn should be considered an exclusive 😋

I play a couple games that offer them, but I’ve never felt compelled to buy one. Rather spend my money on something more substantial - like a different game.

Even more strange when you consider Microsoft owns (okay, technically will own) Doom, yet Fall Guys isn’t even on Xbox

Picked up Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for $9.99 😎

The haptic feedback is cool and all, but I honestly prefer the DS4. The Dualsense is a little too big/wide for my tastes. Also, and maybe it’s just me as I haven’t heard many complaints about it, but I’m not a huge fan of the awkward/uncomfortable 45 degree angle cutoff at the bottom of the grips. I’m glad they abandoned the light bar though!

Picked up The Walking Dead Final Season

Steamworld Heist is amazing - hoping for a sequel!

@PossibLeigh Shovel Knight is brilliant - I highly recommend it. If you think you might like it, you will. Top-tier level design you won't find in the classics. It gets compared to Mega Man a lot, and I can see why, but I don't care for Megan Man at all, and I absolutely love Shovel Knight. I also feel like SK's story and world building doesn't get enough credit - Yacht Club did such a nice job creating an interesting sense of place and character. The boss fights are fantastic, and moment to moment gameplay throughout just feels good. Obviously, its one of my favorites, but it really is amazing, and it absolutely deserves it's reputation as an indie masterpiece.
