Ah, trip down memory lane time for this now 8 yo article where I have 2nd post but haven’t commented againt since 2018.😱

glad for the update. Sony now owning SP, Insomniac and ND makes me happy b/c they’re the reason I’m a Sony guy, for their big 3 games on PS2, R&C, J&D and SC. Tak was also good bu tI forget who made those.🤷🏻‍♂️

Looking forward to Wolverine, Spiderman 3 and Hoziron 3, but tht’s about it, But that’s enough. Nearly time to retire from gaming for me. I’d play a Greek GoW but only if it’s first confirmed to be a stand alone game and not just the first hlaf of an overarching story like GoW & Ragnarok. I still haven’t played Astrobot which we just got for Christmas so no rush for a sequel for me.🎄

I’d be fine if FF7 Pt 3 was the last game I evr played. FF7 was the 2nd game I played in this modern era of gaming after Parasite Eve, (Iowned Pong, Atari and the like before taking about a 10 yr break before PS1) so FF7 can end it. Glad they said it’s onyx 1 ore game, don’t think Icould hold out long enough for a 4th part.😁

Happy New Year 2026 everyone, w/ many more updates to come. Like every 3~5 years b/c that’s how long it takes games to get made these days.😝

I'm taking my 1 plat in Jak & Daxter to my grave. Usually I max out at around 50% anyway, 60% - maybe 80% if I'm really enjoying a game, but I doubt I'll get anywhere near a plat ever again.

Dlc for an 11yo game seems kinda stupid but watching Nintendo pump out $20 upgrade paths for so many Switch games on the Switch 2 makes me think it's possible. Not a fan. Though if they wanted to turn 5 seasons of the show into a game when it's finally done airing, fine, but that seems better suited to a new spinoff game than dlc. But whatever.

I feel fairly confident that someone probably took about 3 dozen photos during this shoot and in at least 1 of them the woman in red is licking the whip she's holding. FMV ftw.😂

Judging by the number of comments on this article, currently 1, and the number of comments on the latest Genshin Impact article, also 1, perhaps it would make more sense if Genshin Imact released on Switch 2 than if Story of Seasons released on PS5?

@get2sammyb I think it's a good thing you run this place otherwise you'd be voted off the island after posting that list.😂

I've barely heard of half of these but OMGkawaiiAngel is almost enough to get me to try and play it. "Visual novel" scaring me off though.

Keep doing you my man, keep doing you. Happy new year.🥂

I bought this over the summer for my kids to play, my wife and I still have yet to play it. Too much NFL football. Probably after the Superbowl. Looking forward to it.

i got on Fortnte to get my gift today, didnt feel like playing.

I do wish the Inifnity Niki people could figute it out, that game goes down fairly regularly for me, sometimes every 5 minutes or so. After the 3rd time I usually stop playing. DisneySpeedstorm ran just fine this morning but I dont’ think too many people are playing that money pit game.

@get2sammyb I felt bad about my 7 until I saw you and Shogun both got a 12. Who wrote the quiz? Hopefully not 1 of you 2. Liam?

I got my first 5 or 6 wrong, smooth sailing after that.

@get2sammyb Some people ate Tide Pods. Worth it? 🤷‍♂️

i stopped reading the lst after Suicide Squad valed at $70. Did anyne anywhre get $70 worth of value out of that should have been a free to start game?

The sevice is propbably worth it to a ot fo people, but if you go through the PS shop and only pick ut out games that Pushsquare gave reall bad review scores too, like total shovelware going for $20 or whatever, s there really any value there?

I play several free to play games that have free online, my value is $80 in my pocket by not paying to play online.

@AhmadSumadi Yeah I don’’t think lending you our disc is going to help. One of the downsides of all digital is fewer sales. You should still be able to find cheaper digital sales on retail websites though. If you’re in the UK then Boxing Day this Friday should be good.

@AhmadSumadi We were waiting for the price of this 1 to come down as well, $50 or $60, whatever it was, seemed like way too much for us for a 12 hour game. Fortunately it was on sale for $40 most places this past Black Friday - I'm in the US - and it was basically the only thing on my kids gift list. For $40, and w/ 3 of us each playing it separately for 12 hours, it's just about worth it.

And I didn't know about this level, and after reading the comments I'm even more excited to play it. 2 more days.🎄

Reading all of that I think I'm glad I stopped playing this. I'm kinda impressed w/ myself that I even managed to figure it all out. 😂

Just finding out something like Peanuts wasn't already owned by Disney was good news to me. Sony owning them is at least different. You can't spell Snoopy w/o Sony.

Isn't "crunch" something that gets done just before something is due to be finished - a fame, house, book, car, whatever - as in "crunch time"? If they are being forced to work overtime in 2025 for a game that isn't due out until mid 2027 that isn't "crunch" it's just forced overtime. It isn't "crunch". That's not what the word crunch means.

Yes I read they are putting out a demo but you don't do crunch time for a demo, you just put it out when it's done.

Thank goodness for all the people here defending some of the worst practices of capitalism, I thought capitalism was done for there for a minute. 🙄

@naruball @get2sammyb Thanks for the replies you two. After reading them I looked around some more and I actually found the comment. And the article. On Nintendo Life. I swear if I get any stupider I'm going to run for President. 😩

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/12/the-us-suffered-its-worst-november-since-1995-in-terms-of-hardware-sales

52, still not deleted. Not even that funny in retrospect, just sad.😢

@get2sammyb @naruball Can you 2 help me out w/ something - my tablet says this article and the first comment are 8 hours old. But I distinctly recall commenting on it 24 hours ago while I was still in my hotel room (I'm home now). I thought maybe my comment was just deleted as it's along the same vibe as naruball's but it isn't "removed" and that was 16 hours before this 1 but I can't find that article. Was my funny comment so offensive the entire article got nuked and reposted a day later? 🤷‍♂️

I looked at my account but it says I haven't commented since Monday, which is very unlikely even while I'm traveling for a couple of days. IDK maybe I dreamed it, I never sleep well in hotels. 😝

I think it has a chance b/c of the Bungie name. I don't even play anything that they make but I know of them. And I think the Marathon name might help as well. And the $40 price. And being on PC and Xbox.

Whether it is or not who knows, but it will do better than Concord and Fairgame$ or whatever it was called.

And if it doesn't do well, maybe Sony will finally be done with this.😩

Presidential commendation > FIFA Peace Prize 😂

Thanks @LiamCroft I feel vindicated. Things were not going well for me in that Mega Man article.🤪

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/12/mega-man-dual-override-brings-back-the-blue-bomber-in-2027-on-ps5-ps4

Should have called it "Naomi and Bag Boy". Only half joking. 😁

Reminds me of LBP and Puppeteer, which is a great look in my mind. Nice talking guy too, very Christmas special villain who maybe comes around at the end.

Will almost certainly play it with my wife unless the devs get all "git gud" then we're out. We're all about the chill, don't need the thrill.

No Man's Sky will eventually have the most awards ever as it continues to win "Best ongoing game" for the next 20 years.😂

@orvisbean101 Thanks. That company should be beaming with pride. And it's not even a COVID year like when they gave GOTY to It Takes Two b/c nothing else released that year. This year had games. So congrats to them. Hopefully no other game ever breaks that record b/c the competition going forward is too good.

@Orpheus79V @PuppetMaster I'm sure the PS4 can run it, heck the PS3 could probably run it, and they could make a PS2 version in SD at really low sprite resolution, but they probably won't. At some point, after a console is a certain age, companies just stop making games for them, and in 2027 PS4 will be past that age.

As a reminder PS4 launched in 2013. Who's going around saying "Let's make a game for a 14 year old console in 2027"? Historically 14 yo consoles don't get new games. Not b/c they can't run them, just b/c they stop making games for them. 🤷‍♂️

Is there a book form of this yet? I was enjoying this game so much in chapters 1 & 2 but then chapter 3 happened. I need a graphic novel, a prequel and maybe a sequel just to wrap my head around it all.

PS4 in 2027 is kinda crazy though. Maybe they were making a Switch version and thought, why not?

Switch and PS4 versions should both be canceled next summer. It's time. Well maybe not for Switch, it will still be getting games for another 5 years, but how many games get triple released new - PS4, PS5, PS6? I mean probably Just Dance on Wii, Wii U and Switch, but besides that.😂

Is that 9 for Clair Obscur? Is that near the top historically? Looking forward to playing it some day, after forgetting it all from watching my kid play it. Shouldn't take long. 😩

No Man's Sky has won that ongoing game award like 5 years in a row.😂

I'm happy for Donkey Kong, it was really good, just stopped playing it today.

Mario Kart was not good though.

Looking forward to South of Midnight on PS5.

I'm going to write on my calendar "A video game was supposed to come out this date but I'm not writing the name b/c it probably won't".😂

After voting no on the bowtie I tried to be as positive as I could and vote yes as many times as possible but sometimes you just can't, ya know?

One of the questions should have been:

When Clare Obscur wins an award Charlie Cox will come on stage and say "I don't even know what I'm doing up here, I only read a few lines one afternoon, this has nothing to do with me." 😂

There's a demo on Steam. No price though. Looks like a $4.99 game to me so maybe $19.99? No harm in it existing I guess.🤷‍♂️

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1221480/Big_Hops/

Not really my type of game but I do like the name "Fishbowl" for it.

If they called it "Ramona Flowers Moves to Toronto" and have the game end w/ her meeting Scott it probably could have had a lot more sales. 😂

If Netflix is planning on selling off the gaming division, maybe in a bidding war between Tencent and PIF, loudly proclaiming that the division has no value is a bold strategy for driving up the price.🤑

I hit a pop up for the app then the app told me the site was down. I was assuming that was b/c all I play are free fames but I just remembered I did play Cat Quest 3. I'll go try again later. Unless I finally played GoW:R this year in the spring? If that's the case it's probably:

Infinity Nikki
Fortnite
Disney Speedstorm
God of War Ragnarok
Cat Quest 3

Also possibly pLucky Squire and FF7 Crisis Core on PS+ Extra, though that was probably last year.

Edit: OK so it's back up and running now, and I was oh so close on my guesses. I got 1-4 correct but forgot about Visions of Mana.

Infinity Nikki 337
Fortnite 128
Disney Speedstorm 105
God of War Ragnarok 100 even
Visions of Mana 59

Totals:
17 games
764 hours
101 trophies
Level 269 - 272 whatever that means 🤷‍♂️

Wolverine. I've been waiting how many years now?

Don't believe it's coming out in 2026 though, they'll probably decide to hold it back for a dual release alongside the PS6 launch just b/c.😝

Reading "political tensions" and not having it be about the US is triggering the 'Merican in me, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Relieved maybe? 🤣

@get2sammyb "It's insane out there..."

Me to my wife as we were watching about 30 minutes of game trailers on YT after playing Infinity Nikki for like 3 hours -

"Poor Sammy. He does not have enough time to play all of these games."

She just laughed. 😂

@GamingFan4Lyf Primitive now? When I was a kid people would have thought we must be space aliens or time travelers from the future talking about this stuff. 🤣

I remember switching to Radeon after Voodoo kind of disappeared after 3. I was late to the party on GeForce, above my pay grade. I started buying cheap old cards for my kids to game on but thankfully I'm just a console gamer these days. Inthiseconomy.gif

@GamingFan4Lyf I had a Voodoo 2 or 3, it's in a plastic bag laying around here somewhere. I've kept most of my old hardware, have likev5 or 6 towers in the corner, but finally threw out all the boxes b/c thry were just taking up tok much space. 😂

@get2sammyb Don't worry, I got all the arguing covered.🤣

@nessisonett I don't think I got very far in.Unreal, have never liked first person games, but I had to try it. I might own Unreal Tournament on a Dreamcast disc, also never played it. Probably got those on clearance at Comp USA or Computer City when they were going out of business. My first, well 2nd really, home PC only had a floppy drive, no disc, I can't even recall which tower I had to play that on. So. Long. Ago. (I'm typing this sitting in a room surrounded by probably 100 games and I'm not even sure where my Dreamcast collection is, though it's only like a dozen discs. I can see my Dreamcast.😁)

@nessisonett I was thinking Serious Sam as well, but it somehow looks slower in the screenshots, (can screenshots look slow?) than that fast paced game, so more like "Unreal" or even "Turok Dinosaur Hunter" or whatever it was called. Do people know Unreal was a game before it was an engine? I still have the disc in the box. It was a cool box.

@Quintumply Wait, if Chapter 7 doesn't start until December 11th what have I been playing all week after chapter 6 ended on Saturday?

I honestly thought 7 had started but just a few modes besides battle Royale were starting on the 11th?

And I was bummed to have the bus come back today I was enjoying the surfing.

@get2sammyb But it's so bad at it. And it keeps making free to play games that are $40 to start that also required paid subscriptions to play online, so they are doing it all wrong.🤑

@Silenos Not crashing is good. 😀 Thanks. I'll look into it if and when I find the time. I'm kinda hoping Fortnite goes full first person view which would force me to quit playing.

@get2sammyb It's a great time to be a free to play gamer. In the past week both Fortnite and Infinity Nikki updated to new seasons. Nikki is like a whole new game and Fortnite is Fortnite again after the condensed map Simpsons seasons.

With Hoyoverse and the others seemingly non-stop on these it really makes it look like Sony messed up forcing, or maybe just encouraging, so many of it's studios to try to make these types of games rather than story driven single player games that Playstation is known for.

@Silenos Are you playing WWM on PS or PC? I've read OS5 has tech issues compared to PC. I looked at it before it came out then got distracted by Palia which I also haven't started and now I have 4-5 hours of gaming in Dreams to go play. I may never pay for games again. Well after FF7R part 3, that's day 1.

Thanks @Quintumply I haven't played Dreams in forever, not sure I ever installed it in my PS5, but I'm going to give both this and Trip's Voyage a go. I can't believe InDreams is still working and I had TV already in my playlist. Probably from the last time you wrote about it. mM should be paying you.👍

Can it run Crysis? 😂

I've seen these around for a bit, I thought it was 1 of those projectors to display your other device on your wall or garage door. Always made me think of the Ouya in design so that's not good. 😝

@T-Bone09 Live action Cowboy Bebop was 4 years ago on Netflix. It was OK.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267295/

I've been playing online multi-player for free online every day on my PS5 for years - Fortnite, Disney Speedstorm, Infinity Nikki. The fact that they're free doesn't help the cause of "You have to pay to play online" which we also don't do on PC or mobile. It's just greed.

Sony putting out a $30 pack for need to pay for the game need to pay to play online Gran Turismo 7 should be all you need to show it's greed. Yes I know the 3.0 update is free, but GT7 should probably jyst be included in PS Essentials at this point. Gaming is getting crazy.
