Weirdly enough I’m replaying Infinite Wealth as well. It’s been on my mind all week. I normally wait a year until I consider replaying anything but it’s that good
I really want to buy this Day 1 but I feel like it’ll be on discount come the holiday season. This is a title I think I can wait for. Inb4 I order it tonight
For me, it’s Infinite Wealth & Rebirth in no order. Then it’s between Stellar Blade and Persona 3 Reload. Those are my top 4 games easy. Such a great year of gaming for me!
Size does matter. It’s the reason my last few exs dumped me. It’s not my fault it’s micro. I blame my father. Oh well. Excited to try this game despite my PTSD with the title
@Rmg0731 yah the rewind feature is so cool. Absolutely love it. I just wish they’d figure out how to let us download the PS3 games. I have no clue the issues/complexities with it. But I’d love to be able to play the PS3 games because I actually skipped that Gen
@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
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.
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
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 😂😂😂
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
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
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
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
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.
@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 😭😭😭
