Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2024 Announced

Absolutely fine with this month. Tunic will be near the top of my list. Ghostrunner I could never get into. I’m not big on first person games for the most part tho. So I doubt I try the sequel. I’m just happy I have something here to play :’)

Stellar Blade. Just beat the first “non-prologue” boss. Combat feels so smooth IMO. Game looks gorgeous. Absolutely loving my experience with it. Also, super glad there’s a second play through needed for the platinum. It definitely seems like a game I’d want to replay again

So an 8 here usually means a 9 for me. Only concern is if the English dub is actually bad or not. I don’t mind subs though. I’m pretty lenient with dubs (with Yakuza being the exclusion) so I’ll give both a try

Regardless, pumped for this! The combat and visuals are what drew me in. If the story isn’t “all-world”/top notch, so be it. I just want to have fun after playing some heavy hitter narratives

Re: Despite Hype, Analyst Says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 'Underperforming'

Rebirth was fantastic to me. But coming out in quick succession versus other giant JRPGs didn’t help. Most gamers don’t have the time for two brand new 100 hour games back to back like that. I thibk Rebirth will have a second wind down the line whether they do another DLC ep, expand on Queen’s Blood or when it’s added to PS+

God of War (2018). Love going back to this beautiful world and fun combat. Tbh I would be playing/streamimg GoW 1 (PS3) on PS+ streaming service, but its too laggy for a game that requires fast button inputs. It doesn’t register my presses most of the time. Anyways, I’m cleaning up GoW (2018) en route to another platinum.

On Thursday, I platinum’ed One Piece Odyssey. Flawed yet fun to hang with the Strawhats. It has potential to be great if they expand on it, make more unique NPC models (I swear there are only like ten and they all change hair) while adding more actual OP characters (frayed memories should’ve been boss fights against side characters like Mr. 1 in Alabasta, Kalifa in Water 7, any War Lord in Marineford, and Fujitora in Dressrosa), collectible counters, more convenient save spots aka next to camps, etc. I’m sure there was a budget but still a lot of missed potential that could be worked on. Welpppp, I got sidetracked

Just finished Rebirth last night and the game was phenomenal. Are there flaws? Yes. Is the story a bit convoluted at times? Yes. Are there too many mini-games thrust into the main story? Yes. But the world and its characters are just damn beautiful. The music is incredible. That Stamp remix song is addicting af. Cannot wait for the 3rd game. Give it to me now 😭😭😭

There are so many 100+ hour epics right now that I’m sure FF7 Rebirth will have lasting power. It’s hard to keep up with all the releases ATM 😂😂 best start to a year of gaming in years IMO

Re: Dragon Ball Manga Icon Akira Toriyama Passes Aged 68

This is depressing. He was so young as well. His influence over manga/anime/video games will always exist. He’s a legend. I can remember my schooldays coming home and sitting in front of the TV waiting for Toonami. I remember buying that DBZ card game with my bros and not knowing how to play 😂😂 I’ve recently been playing DQXI and loved his designs there. This is a huge loss for the world

Re: Stellar Blade's Physical PS5 Pre-Order Bonuses in Korea Are Stunning

Music is so important in video games. If its music is bland/boring, I’m less likely to play. If it’s anything like Nier’s OST, I’m pumped. I have faith Okabe (hope I spelled that right) can deliver some banger pieces.

Stellar Blade looks more and more like a Day 1 purchase for me. Hopefully it feels like a complete game without needing DLC and a huge expansion post-launch to clear things up.
