I decided to buy Fields of Mistria on PC and I’m so glad I did. It’s not a star dew clone and is much more accessible and has less constraints than star dew (stores open 24/7, save any time, characters show on the map etc) really really enjoying it. Perfect game to play before gta vi.
The biggest issue with the game is it’s just not very good. I don’t really know how multiplayer can help much but I’m curious enough to try. I know it clicked with some people though so that’s good.
I’m a jrpg fanatic but for some reason I just never have been able to get into the Tales games. I was excited about Arise and kt ended up being a dud. Maybe I should give another try.
I still don’t get it. How do they except strong sales numbers with gamepass? Why would they be surprised? And I’m not trying to be sarcastic. I just would be interested to know what metrics they use for sales when they factor in gamepass?
@BearsEatBeets I played about a month ago before the update. For me I had stuttering issues when I had tons of saves. When I deleted several saves it went away.
@Nei I used to not even bother with oils because it was so frickin tedious. The other thing is no weapon durability option. You end up with dozens and dozens of armor and weapon kits it was such a trivial feature. I’m so glad they added it.
I’ve only had a ps5 digital since launch so lack of physical hasn’t hurt me. But also I totally get where others are coming from. I don’t plan to get a ps6 until the top games are no longer supported on ps5 either so it will be all digital for me regardless.
Lufia 2 is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time. I remember having to use a magazine that had all the puzzle solutions because some were so vague on what to do. The end game ancient cave is basically a roguelike before roguelikes. I’ve watched people on twitch try to beat speed runner times and it’s actually fun to see.
Last year I played about 30 hours of Trails in the Sky remake but stopped because I went on vacation. Ive started a new game and then I’ll be playing Second Chapter.
Having a fun time with it. It’s pretty much exactly what I expected it to be. I might hold off a little because Insomniac has said they will be patching up some of the pain points. Also, the fart trail outrage is so dramatic.
I always need to wait and see how comfortable they are with glasses on. The original pulse was a great headset but my ears felt like they were getting into two. But I guess that’s the drawback up having to wear glasses.
Then there is me who is just as pumped to play it as I was when it was announced. It’s basically exactly what I figured it would be. I also don’t mind at all if people have strong opinions one way or other but there is a neck beard revolt going on towards it already. But there’s also people who will defend any game no matter what so it goes both ways. Welcome to the internet.
@GirlVersusGame haha yeah I hear people calling it Crimson Hernand because they never leave that area so it’s basically the entire game.
When I played at launch it was a messy buggy experience but I’ve been keeping a close eye on patch notes as they come out and they have fixed and added tons of stuff. It’s crazy that you have to beat the game to play the dlc though. I wonder what percentage of people have actually beat it? It seems like the point of this game is to never beat it and just play around in the world lol. I plan on picking it diving head first into after I beat Wolverine.
I just beat Dawnwalker. Def my goty so far. Can’t decide what to play next. Considering starting a new game in Crimson Desert since I haven’t played in a long time and it’s had tons of updates. Or maybe no mans sky with giant update just coming out.
Amazing game. About 25 hours in and not halfway through the 30 days. The time mechanic is so overblown it’s silly at this point. So much to do and the main NPC quests are top notch. Just don’t accidentally eat someone like I did lol. Camera in combat and lock on targeting could use some love though.
Ghosts of New Eden was a good battle system of way from being a great game. It was still very fun but fights were so tedious and boring and got in the way of the fun detective/mystery narrative going on.
I bought zero company on a whim and damn I’m glad I did. It’s not groundbreaking at all and optimization is very messy but it’s SO fun and addicting. It’s also a lot longer and massive than I expected. Sad that they might be able to dedicate the time to patching it up though. It’s a banger.
Is the until dawn remake worth it? I’ve heard mixed reviews. Also how scary is it. I’m a wimp with horror these days. Silent hill 2 made me change my drawers.
The biggest issue with this game is trying to stay focused on thing. I constantly get sidetracked and forget what I was even planning on doing. It’s so massive.
The biggest issue for me was the enemy variety and the weird e counter rates. You’d fight 300 goblins and bandits and then one cyclops. It really turned exploring into a slog. When you did get to fight a big baddy it was really fun I just wish there was more of it.
I suspect they’ll be listening to feedback and making adjustments. It’ll probably have several QoL updates and maybe some combat tweaks so I’ll wait a few months. Lord knows there’s plenty to play this month. But there’s also lots of 9s and some 10s too so it’s a little divided.

Re: EA Shutting Down RPG Dev BioWare, Next Mass Effect Game Cancelled
Hopefully the Expanse game and Exodus are great games and sell well. Would love for another studio to fill the void.
Re: Hideo Kojima Back in the Cyberpunk Universe for Edgerunners Season 2
Haven’t been this excited for a show in a long time. I rewatched edgerunners 1 and cried again. The ending is absolutely brutal.

Re: Cyberpunk 2's Director Is a Big Reason to Be Hyped for the Secretive 2077 Sequel
Phantom Liberty wasn’t just one of the best expansions I’ve played it’s one of the best games I’ve played. Can’t wait for 2.
Re: PS5's Saros Already an Official Award Winner
Saros is a fantastic game. It sounds like sales were a bit underwhelming which is concerning because Housemarque is an amazing studio.
Re: The Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Players Start to Wonder Where All the Mods Are
Yeah, the PC Mods aren’t even that great for W3. Most are cosmetic and/or just cheat mods. I don’t really feel like I’m missing out.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (September 2026)
My vote would have went to Dawnwalker but I saw control resonant and immediately selected it because it’s great. It feels like DW came out ages ago.

@Nei this was an option in the 2022 ps5 update version too.
Re: Sony Prepping Improved PS App with Expanded Social Features

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 652
I think I might actually start dragon dogma 2. For some reason I thought dark arisen comes out in November but it’s actually less than a week away.
Re: Star Wars: Galactic Racer (PS5) - This Ridiculously Good Racer Is in a Galactic League of Its Own
I’ve seen some articles (not on pushsquare) about this being a weak year for gaming because of gta vi but my backlog begs to differ.

Re: Sony Seemingly Incentivising Digital PS5 Purchases with Cashback
I’ve only had a ps5 digital since launch so lack of physical hasn’t hurt me. But also I totally get where others are coming from. I don’t plan to get a ps6 until the top games are no longer supported on ps5 either so it will be all digital for me regardless.

Re: The Witcher 3 Remastered Accessibility Options Include Health Regen, Auto Loot, Infinite Item Durability
No boat damage and auto loot 100%. Maybe weapon durability because you end up getting 80 million repair kits anyways and it’s never an issue.
