Incredible game! One of my favourite ps3 games and maybe my fave superhero game to boot. Itās frankly quite amazing the online features have been up this long tbh.
I know itās been mentioned many times but a 4k 60 remaster of 1 and 2 would be a dream.
This one hurts. I aināt even an fps guy really⦠but I loveDoom 2016 and Eternal (yet to play The Dark Ages). It feels like id will never recover from this.
More Lightning Returns, which Iām finding particularly stressful. The countdown clock, together with certain parts of the map, characters and quests only becoming available for specific time-windows.
Itās very different from Final Fantasy XIII parts 1 and 2 in terms of combat too, which Iām a bit disappointed about. Hoping that the story and familiar characters carry me through.
So I do have the first two games (which Iāve heard are very good) but yet to play them⦠and loved the anime. Iām also a fan of open-world games, so this is great news to me.
At last, Iāve been holding off on playing 2 in the hope that there was just a 12 month exclusivity period for the remastered original. Good news this!
@GirlVersusGame in all honesty I wasnāt even aware of it until your mention. Iād have played this for sure, as Iām a huge Dishonored fan and big fan of Blade in comics, animation and the movies (particularly 2). For some reason the Blade character and his powers didnāt say immersive-sim to me⦠and Iāll take any immersive-sim I can get š
@Oram77 I had my suspicions⦠but the recent word-for-word double-post ABOUT TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAMES š from Push Square to Pure xbox settled it for me.
@LikelySatan the sensible way no doubt. I just regret selling all my old consoles from the Megadrive onwards, so having all these Evercade carts on my shelf goes some way towards redressing the issue.
@LikelySatan yeah I do love that aspect of it when the games turn up. Iām yet to get the Turrican collection but I did love the original back on Commodore 64. After a long hiatus in buying games for it, Iāve just bought a load of the purple Arcade carts. I have a lot of catching up on the red carts at the moment.
@Mostik tbh mate, Iād kinda forgotten about it but I did notice the NeoGeo collections had been added when I first heard about the upcoming NeoGeo AES+. So I have started trying to catch up with the cartridges Iāve missed⦠canāt get the NeoGeo Arcade Collection 3 anywhere though.
I bought it (& a load of the early carts) more for an interesting shelf filler in the gaming room if Iām honest. I might crack it open one day though, as I have only heard good things.
Already started laying the groundwork with the missus to have a new NeoGeo AES+ for Christmas. Sheās a bit hesitant as I had an Evercade VS around 4 Christmasās ago and have never taken it out of the box⦠I reckon sheāll come around though.
I bought it (and the original)⦠still to play either. My backlog could choke a dozen donkeysā¦a dozen times or more (after various successful cpr attempts or uses of the Heimlich manoeuvre).
Gonna start Lightning Returns if I get the chance. I really enjoyed FFXIII and FFXIII-2 these past couple of years, so looking forward to seeing how it all rounds off.
I aināt justifying price rises or nothing like that (no one likes paying more obvs) but day one all the same⦠and Iām keeping my pro (& base) too. Too many regrets about selling my old consoles as a kid/adolescent/idiot.
@11001100110zero itās not rocket-science, we all see it lol. You regularly visit a PlayStation news site and take every opportunity you can to neg PlayStation⦠and then low-and-behold you turn up to spin a lonely positive outāve a Steam Machine that barely competes with a base PS5 but is priced at over a grand. Maybe youāre so dense that youāre unaware of the level of your own subjectivity⦠I doubt it though.
@11001100110zero no need to apologise, itās nice to see you being positive for a change⦠not suspicious at all that this rare occurrence is on an article about a PC/Steam device and nothing to do with PlayStation š¤
@OpheliaDynamight yeah you could honestly start with either tbh as there are only very loose connections and around 300 years between them.
Theyāre not particularly difficult tbh⦠and not souls-likes neither. Theyāre more akin to a modern Assassins Creed game tbh⦠only with an extra layer (or two š) of quality.
@OpheliaDynamight by the demos youāve tried, might I suggest Ghost of Yotei - best game Iāve played for a while! Oh and welcome to the ps5 and all thatā¦
Busy weekend but if I get the chance Iād like to make a start on my second playthrough of Metro 2033 Redux. Finished my Enlightenment run on Survivor last night and while itās definitely aged and has its flaws⦠overall the atmosphere, narrative and execution of stealth-from-the-shadows won me over. Will be 25 plats within the first 6 months of 2026 if I manage it before the end of June.
Mega Man is a major blank spot in my personal gaming history⦠and while I have respect for the series I donāt see any way that I (personally) will ever be won over by more of the same. To quote Jaffee (which Iām loathe to do tbh) āIt looks like dlcā! Lol
