@Ravix great photos btw. I hadn’t seen the Mike Gorman one yet. Such a classy man. To your Al Horford comment: I cannot see him not making the HoF. 2 NCAA Championships, an NBA Championship plus a long, great career. He’s a lock IMO. I think ATM there will eventually be 4 HoFers from this Celtics squad: Tatum & Brown, Jrue, then Horford. Especially if the C’s win a 2nd championship with this core. Gonna be a fun few years coming up 😎😎😎 Banner 19 next

@Rmg0731 awesome! I’ve downloaded plenty of the PS1 games but haven’t looked at any PSP. Just was super disappointed when I tried to stream GoW. It lagged so badly that my button inputs were never fully registering during the “button mash” sections. Glad that PSP games aren’t streaming

Are PSP games downloadable and not streamed? Might give R&C Size Matters a whirl

Might be the first time I ever buy an 2K NBA game. Finally my boy Tatum is getting the respect he deserves. Glad there are a few Celtics fans on this site as well.

You did an awesome job here. Such a cool article.

It’s probably a spin off. I doubt they will change Ichiban’s gameplay from turn base

The Witcher 3 but I did watch all of Blue Lock from Wednesday through Saturday. So I’ve been shifting back & forth between the pair until today

I put Infinite Wealth but it’s very close with Rebirth. Both are spectacular games

Good. I’m newer to Resident Evil but loved RE4 Remake. Hopefully it’s similar to that because it was phenomenal IMO.

@ShogunRok thanks my man. Adding it to my list now 😎😎

Is this a new protagonist or a different one? Because if it is, I may jump in

The day has been saved

It’s Metaphor. Astrobot then NCAA Football (for nostalgia) and it’s not even close. I might only preorder Metaphor since Atlus games are usually very polished

I played it for the first time in May and loved it. A sequel would be warmly welcomed

Eh, I’m sure they’re not making like 30 different dungeons. They’ll probably have 10 or so base/themed ones and maybe switch up a few floors on each for the alternatives. So I’m not worried about missing much

An Elden Ring anime like what Cyberpunk did with an original story would be amazing. I would love them to pursue that rather than a movie. I’m not a big movie guy so I’m being selfish 😂😂😂

Sounds interesting. I’ve never heard of it before. I might check it out!

The game’s brutality? Nah. If the platinum is brutal? Yes.

It also depends on if the gameplay is “fairly” brutal like Souls which teaches you to master certain things compared to some games that are just punishing to be punishing aka there’s really no point. Souls does it the best IMO. It’s satisfying when you beat a boss you were stuck on and finally have it all click together

Stellar Blade was a refreshing experience. I had a lot of fun with the combat. There’s great potential in a sequel so I hope that gets going whenever. I’d be there Day 1

Not every game needs romance. Plus, Persona’s romances kind of feel bare bones at times despite being my favorite franchise. I’m fine with Metaphor not having it if that’s the case

At this point, they’re just teasing and torturing us. Bloodborne 2 please 😭😭😭😭

It was my GOTY last year. Absolutely loved it. Clive was an amazing FF Protagonist. The visuals were stunning and the combat felt so fluid and smooth. I’m waiting a little bit for my 2nd playthrough but it’s getting harder to keep putting it off 😂😂 I get the disappointment from people. For me though, I couldn’t be happier with it

SMT V. I’m having a blast with it

It looks incredible but I’m alternating between SMT V and a The Witcher 3 replay. I’ll play this eventually because I bet it’s amazing

Damn if they’re all must-play, I’ll buy all 1,600

10 minutes later: “Babe, we are going to need to take a loan out.”

I have faith they’ll make something fun. They do a great job with their games so it’s awesome they get the chance to shine on their own. Doubt it’s a new IP though because of the wording

I’ll buy it eventually because I love Hiro Mashima’s art style. But I lowkey kind of hope he didn’t write the story (if this game has an emphasis on it. I haven’t watched the trailer yet). He kind of has dropped the ball a bit on his past two mangas’s final arcs. Anyways, still interested in this!

@QBGaming12 yeah that’s the exact reason why I pounced on a physical copy when it fell to $40 last year. Still haven’t played it yet but it’s back up to full price. There’s only a small window to buy it discounted with games like these unfortunately 😭😭

@Enuo nah I don’t think that’s it. FT has had a “side sequel manga” going on the same time as Eden’s Zero. So a new anime season makes perfect sense. EZ never hit the popularity of FT but it definitely wasn’t a failure

Free online games almost never have fun/reasonsble trophy lists. Not that I actually play online games anymore 😂😂

Haven’t played the PS5 version yet since I’m waiting for a deep physical sale. But I want to give it a go eventually 😎😎

This game has to be related (in some sense) to Fate/Zero right? Maybe not directly but still. I watched that anime years ago. I think it had the blonde chick Saber that my gf at the time obsessed with. I’ve never heard of this game before so maybe I’ll look into it more. I’ve watched two Fate anime (Zero I think then the one with Rin) so it may be up my alley

I was going to start SMT V: V but I’m waiting for my Celtics to finish off the Mavs before I play it. Too anxious to start a new game before then. So I’m replaying the Novigrad portion of The Witcher 3 on PS5. Still an all time amazing game

I feel like video game leaks kinda take the fun out of the showcases/events/whatever. I try to avoid them the week of an event by staying off social media but these things get leaked weeks before at times

There will never be another Cuno. The King of Disco Elysium.

I don’t know how well a Kim game would’ve been made. A lot would have to change. You wouldn’t have been able to do the dumb stuff like you did with Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau. It’d be more serious of a game which is meh to me. An adult Cuno game with him being a constantly high detective instead of a drunk one would actually work really well IMO

@Czar_Khastik tfw I’m a 30 year old white man and never got any pictures 😭😭 I’m just doing everything wrong

Even with a guide, you still need to beat the bosses which is no small task. I get wanting to go in blind but if you’re struggling, it’s acceptable to use a guide. Some people don’t click with every boss. It’s okay.

@SlySnake0407 if it doesn’t stick with me this next time, I’ll definitely go that route. Thank you for making me aware of that!

@amatmulisha literally my thoughts exactly. I platinum’ed Control on PS4 before the PS5 version existed. I may replay that again down the line. But I was so excited to try Alan Wake 1 when it hit PS+. I was so disappointed by what you said: outdated controls and just the clunky gameplay. I’m going to give Alan Wake 1 one more attempt before moving onto Alan Wake 2. 2 just looks so damn good

@MikeOrator I’m so pumped for SMT V:V. I played my first SMT game last year (3) and really enjoyed it for the most part. I didn’t play the original V so I’m going in very fresh thankfully

I’m already buying it Day 1 so I’m good. So pumped for a new IP in Metaphor from Atlus before Persona 6. SMT V & Metaphor combined with Persona 3 Reload makes this the year of Atlus/Sega (if we include my GOTY Infinite Wealth) 😎😎😎

Still unrealistically waiting for Small Soldiers from PS1 to come on Premium. It’ll never happen but I had fond memories of playing it with my brothers 😂

I redownloaded Alan Wake Remastered to give it another try this summer. I loved Control but Alan Wake 1 wouldn’t stick with me. I really want to play Alan Wake 2 but won’t until I get through 1 😭😭😭

For people who have played the Dragon Age games:

I’ve never played a Dragon Age game. Is this a sequel or is it “safe” to play this game like a standalone? If it’s a sequel, where would I start?

Astrobot appears to have enough content to warrant full price IMO. It looks fantastic

Automatic Day 1 buy

@twitchtvpat oh sweet! Pretty pumped for it 😎😎

I doubt it would’ve been hard for them to do a Bloodborne-esque DLC trophy list where you defeat the main bosses and collect new weapons. Most people playing the DLC will be doing that anyways. It would’ve been easy to meet trophy hunters halfway there IMO. Still going to play it after SMT V: Vegenance

Has Black Myth Wukong shown any gameplay? Can’t remember seeing any in the trailer. If not, kind of weird since it’s releasing soon. The cinematics look fantastic though!

Pretty big bummer here. I pretty much only buy physical games unless it’s either digital only indie titles that I want to support or the discount digitally is too good to pass up. I’m not opposed to digital games, but it’s really misleading buying a game expecting a disc only to get a download code. Not everyone who will preorder will see this so some will be disappointed
