@Th3solution I’ve started both the PS2 and Vita versions before, but never got very far. I’m really looking forward to playing it again. I might break my one single-player game at a time rule just so I can start it sooner.
@Bentleyma That’s what I was going to mention, was that in my experience, the game could be played in bursts or side-by-side other games potentially. Like most games, there is some gaming inertia you’ll lose if you break the game up too much, but with P4 (and P5) I was able to have extended time away from and then come back to it without too much trouble. The dungeons allow for good break points and the turn based gameplay means there’s not much muscle memory that needs to be kept. Given the sheer length of the game it was hard for me to stay on it continuously. But of course each person will be different with how they like to approach it.
Having played P3,4,&5 as well as a couple other MegaTen over the years, P4 is probably my favorite, even though it took me a couple years to finally make it all the way to the end.

Just picked up a base copy Of Ghost of Tsushima from Tesco for £10. Wrapped up, but case was damaged; probably getting rid of old stock as they were also selling New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for £17.50 which is cheap by Nintendo standards. They were also selling Horizon Forbidden West for £15, but was for PS5, so no good for me.
Anyway, I was planning on picking up the directors cut(?) eventually to play through, so will probably use this as a chance to try the game out and if I gel, I will probably buy the directors cut.
going to the walmart store downtown today to do a little bit of videogame shopping.
anyone know if there's any newer sales/clearance sales for Playstation 4 games other than the usual 14 dollar sales for Resident Evil 2 Remake, the Assassins Creed Origins?
last time i was at the walmart store like 2 months ago, i noticed they had The Quarry real cheap at 19 bucks
As a burgeoning fan of Rebellion (loved playing through Sniper Elite 4 last year and pretty excited to play Zombie Army 4 next month)… I couldn’t help but pick up Strange Brigade for £3.99 on the recent PSN sale.
Cuphead - it’s been on the wishlist forever and while I was waiting for 40% off… I folded due to how long I’ve been waiting and pulled the trigger at 30% off.
@colonelkilgore Cuphead is supposed to be a tough one, just the game itself. Can’t imagine the platinum is very easy. It’ll be a challenge, I’m sure a welcome one for you.

@Th3solution for sure… there’s obviously no guarantees when you go for plats like these but it’s part of the fun. I can’t go for these kinds of plats day-in-day-out but I do like one or two a year which force me to dig deep.
@colonelkilgore Nice. Those two have just popped up on ps++ so your thoughts on them would be appreciated. 👍
This is one of the nice (for us) effects of subscription services, retail games which appear on the service suddenly drop in price.
@CaptD yeah that’s a great point actually. I did look for I am Setsuna too but it looks like there might not be a UK physical release for that one… so will have to get that one digitally I guess (and it isn’t on sale atm).
@LtSarge I had absolutely no idea what was going on with the “story” in the game but it’s always good fun shooting **** out of the sky in a fighter jet!
There’s some horrible checkpointing (i.e. pretty much none) so it can be very frustrating to fail towards the end of a mission and have to redo the whole thing but I mostly enjoyed my time with the game.
I picked up a copy of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. I hadn’t intended to but as I was browsing the store I saw a copy for $15 and my recent discussion with @HallowMoonshadow had brought the game to the forefront of my mind. I had such a good time with the first game, that I decided I might want to do the full set. For the price it wasn’t much investment; now it’s all about finding the time to fit it into the schedule.

@JohnnyShoulder I’m neck deep in backlog, but I’ll definitely report out when the time comes. I’m getting a little itch to jump back into the Souls world already, but I’m restraining myself.
I was rather surprised to see that the ESRB rating for DS2 is actually “T for Teen” where all the other FromSoft games including Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Sekiro, and DS1&3 are all rated “M for Mature.” I don’t often pay close attention to ratings because usually it’s obvious to me what I’m getting into since I research my games before buying, but this one was curious and I didn’t even notice until after I got the disc home and was putting it on the shelf. Is the game sanitized to be less violent and the bosses less gruesome?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I think it's partially because there's no ragdoll physics @Th3solution and enemies will fade to dust after beating them?
Nothing else really springs to mind there's still some grotesque looking bosses and the likes.
Hopefully you enjoy it whenever you get around to it Sol!
As Johnny mentions (and I will too) there are some places that don't make geographical sense on how they connect and I think that's down to levels being stitched together after originally it was going to be open world or something along the lines but they ran out of time?
If you pop open a guide make sure it's about the PS4/Xbox 1 Scholar Of The Sin version as the original PS3/Xbox 360 release has VERY different item and enemy layouts 😄
