@breakneck yeah, people tend to forget the first year of the console was marred by COVID and parts shortages. It was basically a flex to be able to grab one online.
@x3King84 see, the way it works is… you can not buy this one and wait for one that you want. That’s the beauty of choice, free will, and having options. 🤷🏾♂️
@NEStalgia I hear you, NES. I love both iterations of the series but vastly prefer the originals. I loved the distinct differences between 3 of my favorite series (GOW, Uncharted, TLOU). They kind of turned GOW into TLOU. As much as I want to finish Ragnarok, I realize the delay in going back to it is because it doesn't pull me in like the original series did.
I played the hell out of the first game to a platinum trophy. Haven't touched the 2nd game though. I really need to break away from Elder Scrolls Online because I'm missing out on a lot of games I wanna play!
@Americansamurai1 I know, right? Kinda sucks to know where it’s gonna go. But can’t wait for the shock and awe that those who don’t know are going to experience.
TLOU multiplayer is my all time favorite PVP. I was very disappointed when they canceled it. It’s my 2nd biggest gaming disappointment behind the cancellation of Dark Cloud 3.
@LowDefAl EVERY 🤬 THING YOU SAID HERE! Like, these people always go nuts over Jim Ryan and in some weird way they also praise Phil Spencer. Sony has never been this profitable and have expanded the reach of PlayStation. At this point PS is releasing games in every genre so there’s something for everyone. I often wonder what specifically Jim Ryan did to make PlayStation not great anymore? No critic is ever specific with their complaints.
I was super hyped for this. Demo killed it for me. Just made me miss Dark Cloud 3 not being a thing even more. I can never play a game like this again until I get Dark Cloud 3.
@BusyOlf “Last month you rightly reported how poor it was…” Lemme guess? You’ve not played a lick of it but know exactly how everyone should feel about from the small clips you’ve viewed. What a guy!
@LikelySatan yeah, Eddie and Arsenio played about 10 characters each in Coming To America. Great film! I’ve seen Dolemite. Heck, I don’t think I’ve not seen any Eddie Murphy films. Even Pluto Nash… 😬
“Rocky Marciano?! Rocky Marciano?! Every time a white gotta bring up Rocky Marciano??”
That’s how I feel every time a person has to inject Rugby into a discussion about American football lol. Also, that’s not a racist comment. It’s a reference from a film. Shout out if you know the film! ✌🏾
@NEStalgia My thoughts are the same. All I saw were flashes and bright lights. Games like that usually don't interest me. I'll surely give it a try but I'm not expecting much.
Absolutely! I’ve always hated this in games! Like Link and Claude in GTA III. Being bossed around and ordered to do chores with nary a reaction or response. It’s the worst! I’m also not a fan of created characters. It makes the game feel generic when they’re called “The One”, or “Chosen”, or some generic 💩 like that. Give me a Kratos, Drake, or Fenix any day of the week. This way they’re fleshed out and have a personality.
@KennethKoerperich88 wait? So “wokeness” is the issue here? Because no one cared about AC being “historically accurate” before this new guy was main character. Seems the opposite of wokeness is at play here. But if you say so…
@thefourfoldroot1 or people just have different tastes than you do? 🤷🏾♂️
This game doesn’t look appealing to me but some people seem to like it. Hell, I’ve been into ESO for 8+ years now and a lot of people think I’m crazy. We all like different things. No need to 💩 on other people just because they enjoy something you don’t.
@MasterVGuides the fact that you’re not a Star Wars fan is the reason you’re so unbiased and even-keeled as it pertains to this. Unisoft and Star Wars are always maligned and prejudged so I expected nothing less no matter the outcome of the trailer and gameplay.
I’d never played Summoner, but Summoner 2 is one of my all time favorite PS2 games. I’ll definitely give this a go. Hopefully they release part on the platform as well. I’ve been having a blast with Sly Cooper. Best part was hearing my 11-year-old daughter describe her fond memories of Sly from when she was a toddler. I don’t even remember playing it at that time lol.
@Ken_Kaniff agree! I was mad when my son asked me to buy it then he’d never play anything. Now I play so much on there. Some games I’d not give a 2nd look if I’d had to purchase them individually.
Between Dragon’s Dogm II, Dragon Age, and Ys. How am I supposed to decide what to play? Not to mention a new Mana is also coming. As an RPG I’m overwhelmed! I’m still finishing Horizon: Forbidden West, God Of War, and Jedi: Survivor. What a time!
Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales have “no death” difficulty. I didn’t play either game with that turned on but I’m sure some people did. More power to’em. Do you!
Edit: I won’t be playing Dragon Age with no death either.
This is why this game needs a true main character! We’ll surely get some generic main who will divide the fanbase and make interacting with other fans an insufferable experience.

Never liked the games. But absolutely love the show! Emmy Nominated show to!
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Won't Let You Control Companion Characters
When I see people saying they’re gonna skip a game for some little reason I feel like they weren’t gonna get it no matter what.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Won't Let You Control Companion Characters
No big deal for me. I always only use my main. Also, Cassandra better be my day one like in Inquisition.

Re: PS5 Sales Reach 60 Million Milestone, Now at 61.7 Million Consoles Sold
@Voltan I agree. I choose PS because I’m a fan of PS franchises (GOW, Horizon, Uncharted, TLOU, etc). The rest just comes with the territory.
Re: PS5 Sales Reach 60 Million Milestone, Now at 61.7 Million Consoles Sold
@Frmknst I count 17. But yeah, that’s still not many.
Re: Overlooked PS5 RPG Atlas Fallen Just Got Its Game-Changing Reign of Sand Update
They’re really are so many RPGs out there! This is why I love this gen! Almost reminiscent of the PS2 days.

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 24
3/10. To be honest, I was a huge Nintendo fan up until PS2. Only ever owned 1 game on PS1 and that’s Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style.
Re: Streaming Superstar Kai Cenat Campaigns for Bloodborne on PS5, PC
Dark Cloud 3 first! Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread. 😆

Re: Hands On: Visions of Mana Is Far From Revolutionary, But It Should Still Be a Rock Solid Action RPG
@MindfulGamer my sentiments exactly! Hate the AI companions in games like these.

@KillerBoy I mean, if you intended to not play it before, why would this be the draw for you? 🤷🏾♂️

Re: Preview: Star Wars Outlaws Thrives in Its Rewarding Open World
So ready for this game! Will be a 8 or 9 average critical rating and a 1 or 2 user lol. I’m going all in though.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Outrageous Animalities, Massive Story Campaign, and Much More
As a Wu-Tang Clan fan, I was excited to see “Ghostface”. Then my excitement dwindled. Also, which Ghostface? Billy? spoiler alert
Or the idiot family from the latest film? Spoiler alert?

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Caters to All with Completely Customisable Difficulty Settings

Edit: I won’t be playing Dragon Age with no death either.
