@Rob_230 I’m hoping it gets added down the line. I’ve been waiting to play the FFXVI DLC & Hard Mode until the Pro comes out

FF7 Rebirth mini-game grind has almost come to an end. I’ve beaten the Ultimate Party Animal. All I have left is Fort Condor (saved it for last), Loveless play two more times, Dolphin and Piano. Then I have to beat all of Chadley’s combat sims and Hard Mode for that platinum 😭😭😭 I’m going to save Chadley & Hard Mode for the PS5 Pro though

The hardest mini game was the crunches. Took me 6+ hours. When I finally rage quit and retired for the day, the next day I got it my second try :’)))))) Cactaur Smash was tough but not as bad. Chocobo Racing was the best IMO. Fango for MVP

Issue with the Death Note game is it’s more fun with friends and I don’t have many

…wait that’s probably a me issue :’)))))

Jokes aside, very solid month!! Can finally pick back up where I was on Ghostwire

True Colors was really bad IMO so I’m not surprised this one didn’t hit as well. It’s a shame because I really enjoyed the first game

@KyushuTrail he took me dozens and dozens of times to defeat. Honestly I doubt I could beat him again right now 😂😂 the best advice I can give is to just keep at it. He’s a punk but a beatable punk. The more you play, the more his moveset becomes muscle memory. And don’t be shy to pop your Jizo statues and dragon blood droplets. It’s the final boss- just use everything at your disposal. You can also buff before the Genichiro fight and right when phase 1 begins of Isshin with no issues whatsoever. You’ll end up beating him soon I bet!!

@KyushuTrail I had issues with him too. What I did was ceremonial tanto before the fight. Pellet to get me close to full health. Beat Genichiro without taking much/any damage (should be pretty easy). Phase 1 of Isshin don’t be afraid to run away/around the boulders. It will give you the time you need to use to heal. Chip away at his health then back off. Chip then back off. On repeat. Use your sugars and divine confetti on Phase 1 because he gives you time to heal and buff up. It’s much harder afterwards

During Phase 2 and 3, use the Suzaku shield. Keep some but not a drastic amount of distance away from him. When he jumps, shield up and hold. Keep the shield when he does like 3 or 4 gun shots. After I believe he does one slash that you can walk behind with the shield then do a shield attack with on him. After, he’ll go through a few moves from his move set then eventually reset to do a jump again if you keep your distance. So basically you’re baiting him for the jump on the last 2 phases. Also, don’t forget to hold block to restore your posture. The lower your health, the longer it takes to restore it as well

Once you’ve gotten phase 1 done, the shield trivializes the next two phases IMO

Just platinum’ed Sekiro FINALLY so I’m now onto continuing the second Apollo Justice game. Loving Apollo & Athena. Got the Investigations game being sent via Play-Asia alongside Metaphor’s PS4 copy. Can’t believe I waited so long to play Ace Attorney smfh

Majima is the main series. Ichiban and Kiryu are now the spin-offs. Team Mad Dog of Shimano. Woof woof

For me personally, 2024 will be pretty damn hard to beat. FF7 Rebirth, LAD: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, SMT V:V, Stellar Blade, etc are fantastic games to me

And I haven’t yet played: Metaphor Re:Fantazio (waiting for my PS4 copy to arrive from PlayAsia), Astrobot, Dragon Age Veilguard, Ace Attorney Investigations (Miles Edgeworth), Dragon’s Dogma 2, Unicorn Overlord, Black Myth Wukong, Rise of the Ronin, Sand Land, DQ3 Remake, Silent Hill 2, and more.

Did I google “Best PS5/PS4 games in 2024” to remember some of these? Yes. Do I care about my bad memory? Also yes. Still though, 2024 has been loaded. But if 2025 has Hades 2, DS2, and more, it could start to compete.

Late per usual but I took a break from Ace Attorney 5 to play Sekiro NG+. I’m already at Mibu Village. All I need is to max out skills, get the last few lapis lazuli, and get the Shura ending. Shouldn’t be too hard now to get that platinum 😎😎😎

@Czar_Khastik can’t wait for the overhauled upgrade 3.0 with an automatic popcorn dispenser while watching. Gonna be magical

FINALLY just beat Sekiro last night so I’m all for some Soulslike news. This look like it could be fun. Sign me up 😎

Playing it one week earlier sounds great to me

Benjamin M. Starr is voicing in the game? Sign me up, Clive!

What made Disco Elysium so good was the whacky ***** we could do with the MC. I can’t see how that would’ve worked without changing the tone/theme of how the first game played with Kim as the MC. I think he’s an excellent partner. But unless the spin off went in a completely different direction, I dont know how it’d work tbh

Ace Attorney #5. I’m on the second case. I would be playing Metaphor Re:Fantazio BUT I ordered it on Play-Asia for the PS4 copy. It’s just a game I expect to want to platinum twice. And no, I don’t autopop trophies 😂😂 Metaphor looks like it’s worthy of taking up two platinums of my time 😎😎

It’s sad these video game magazines are closing down. I get why, but still. The money just isn’t there. Maybe instead of a weekly/monthly mag (if it is that. I have no clue), it could be seasonal so every 3 months. The quality could’ve been better with more games to write about and more time to gather interviews and what not. But again, the money isn’t in it either way.

I remember as a kid getting the Nintendo one and reading them on the toilet. My parents always wondered why I took so long on there… well, blame Nintendo and video games in general. At least I didn’t bring my Gameboy in the bathroom… maybe

I’ll try both Dead Island & Return To Monkey Island. So solid month for me! Still waiting for Small Soldiers from PS1 to make its triumphant return to modern consoles in PS+ Premium 😭😭😭

I still haven’t played Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (heard there were spoilers for “The Answer” in it so I’m waiting until I buy that. If there’s not, I’ve been wasting time per usual) and SF6 which I impulse bought, so I’ll have to put this on the wait list. I’m not even a big “fighting” genre player 😂😂 Looks gorgeous and probably worth it for people who love DB. I’ll get to it eventually!

That kinda sucks if Sony does that. It alienates people who only have a PS4. I don’t know if the PS4/PS5 store is the same so maybe it’s only for the PS5 store? I’m thinking they’re the same tho. I hope they don’t delist Horizon Zero Dawn too if they go this route

I told myself I was going to stop after Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Triology but I jumped straight into Apollo Justice minutes after I beat the third game. I swear I’m going to power through them then regret not spacing them out 😭😭😭😭

Also, it was the first time I’ve bought a game over $40 digitally since 2020. Wild

I’m buying a PS5 Pro so I can finally get 8k 120 FPS on my Ace Attorney games and other visual novels. Gonna be skipping text at the speed of light!

So you’re telling me I have a chance to become a surgeon if I bring my DualSense to the hospital? I’m ready to save all the people

@Czar_Khastik those games already look great in 8k tho. Who doesn’t love 8k polygons?

The only “live service” games I’m ever considering trying are FFXIV (but I’m overwhelmed on where to start) and the Persona 5 game that’ll eventually launch in English. I tried Genshin but it wasn’t for me. I’m just not big into shooters like Fortnite (lol I think it’s a shooter) or live service games in general

Yeah I loved DS but I hate this idea of potentially having to use photo mode for anything major. Sure, side missions are fine but I’m not interested in doing this for major story bits

@Majin_Deicide Kagurabachi related profile pic… this guy knows what’s good 😎😎😎

I got 6/10 but I cheated on at least 2+ answers. So because of my honesty, that 6/10 turns into an 8/10, right?!?!

I’m not a tech guy but will the PS5 Pro help the performance of games like FFXVI automatically? I really want to play this game on hard mode but I’ve been waiting for patches/the DLC that’s already released. I’m surprised it’s not getting a “designed boost” because it was a Sony exclusive.

Funny how I waited in digital line for over an hour just to buy it yet it’s still available :’))))

There’s no world where Anya doesn’t convince Yor or Loid to buy her the PS5 Pro. If it’s for the betterment of the mission, Loid will buy that PS5 Pro at all costs. In fact, he’d be on eBay getting fleeced for the 30th Anniversary Edition if it prevented Anya from a tontrius bolt.

Ace Attorney 3. Just finished the first case

I’m probably waiting until the PS5 Pro arrives before I play bigger games. Anyone have any VN/point & click/graphic adventure game suggestions on the PS4/PS5 like Disco Elysium (I guess you can count it as point n click), Nonary Games, Doki Doki, AI Somnium Files, etc.? I’ve played others like Broken Sword, Full Throttle, Deponia, and more.

I’d preferably want something closer to Ace Attorney if possible! I’ve been thinking about Gnosia for awhile now too.

This is the update we’ve all been waiting for. Forgot the PS5 Boost, I’d rather the booty boost any day of the week.

Sweet! I plan on getting NCAA on Black Friday so I’m glad it’ll see some bumps in improvement

He has one week to get it out or we’re all boycotting. I’ll compromise to ten days tho.

…but take your time for Death Stranding 2 plz

If you don’t already have it, just buy it on disc for cheap if you have the disc console. If not, that’s the problem going all digital: Sony can change the prices whenever unlike a 2nd hand market which used games or even months old new games go for much less

Got the PS5 Pro & Dual Sense. Pretty pumped. I guess I just like shiny, new things 😂😂😂

Still need to finish the first season. Got through ep 4 or 5. Liked it a lot just got busy.

Still trying to figure out what time the system drops tomorrow. My guess is 10 AM EST but I’m always wrong on these matters

Stoked to give this a go!

I’ve been waiting for Doki Doki to hit $10 because I’m cheap. So this was music to my ears 😂😂😂

Gonna be wild! Let’s goooooooooo!!!

Disappointed we didn’t get a Jin Sakai sequel but nonetheless, still excited for this. I’m sure it’ll be excellent

If someone pays $10k for an attempt at buying a console, that’s on them just as much as it’s douchey on the scalper. I wish I had $10k to throw out for a chance at an exclusive/limited edition console. Sad part is this will clearly trick people

Do we think we’ll get any bombshell release drops like the RGG Summit did with Majima’s solo game?

Have we heard much on Bluepoint Studios? Maybe Capcom will give us a RE9 teaser maybe? I still need to get through Village (got to the reservoir recently then took a break). I would love a little surprise but I’m not expecting major surprises

Unlike most, I’m fine with a Days Gone Remaster because maybe it means Days Gone 2 isn’t impossible. If not for that, I’d say a remaster is pretty unnecessary. I’d much prefer them bring back some PS3 exclusives to modern consoles because I missed that generation completely. So anything that hasn’t made its way back to PS4/PS5 I’d be pumped for.

Spider-Man 2 DLC and an update on anything Santa Monica would be fantastic. I can’t see anything Naughty Dog tomorrow. I wouldn’t ve surprised if Astrobot announces a couple free DLC levels or some fun task. Ghost of Tsushima 2 would be a dream but I’m doubting any news tomorrow

I’ll play it because if it gets enough steam, maybe they reconsider Days Gone 2.

It’s a no brainer really

Avoiding Refantazio because Atlus/Sega tends to spoil major story beats in presentations/trailers but I’m all here for finding out more about DS2.

Still no signs of Judgment 3 or a similar spin off with Kaito, Kuwana or Sugiura starring in it happening any time soon 😭😭😭 I’ll definitely take more Majima in any way though. Majima Solo Game > Judgment 3 but I wanted both because I’m a greedy ***** 😂😂😂😂 Day 1 purchase let’s gooooooooooo

Dreams do come true… Goro Pirates Assemble!!!

February 28th cannot come soon enough. My man finally gets the spotlight all to himself. Well deserved
