I’ve been waiting for NG+ so I can platinum it. I don’t normally do 2 playrhroughs if I can 100% it in one. SM2 warrants a 2nd play IMO. But now I kind of feel like waiting for the inevitable DLC so I can experience it all at once again. I just want the complete experience. Inb4 they don’t even make DLC for SM2 and I wait forever for nothing 😭😭😭

@Deoxyr1bose if those are the noms (I haven’t looked at them) for the music category, that’s criminal IMO to not have the ones you listed. FFXVI had such a beautiful OST. What a shame

For the bball player, there’s no way that one of the ultimates were not an ankle breaking crossover lowering their defense or an alley oop slam dunk over the opponent inflicting a status ailment like fear or stun. HMU RGG, I’ll make Ichiban a baller that rivals Jordan & the late great Kobe

Such a no brainer to bring these games to PC after their sales stall on PS5 after a couple years. Extends their lifespan and may even make people want to buy or replay it on their PS5 since it’ll be in the gaming news. GoT is such a great game that I’m glad more can experience it

The “Bow Wow” song remix alone should sell 10 million copies. ***** was so addictive that I made that poor doggie wait while I jammed out for a bit

Debating between this or Dragon’s Dogma 2 as my next whenever I beat FF7 Rebirth. Unicorn Overlord sounds so damn good though

@Nem thank you for your response!! From what you’re saying, I shouldn’t hold my breath on any type of updated re-releases of the first couple of games.

I actually may do you said in the 2nd paragraph and start with Daybreak. I’m not against going back to playing older entries. I played Yakuza 0 then 7 then played 1 through 6 in order. So if Daybreak is good, it may hook me in! Just what I need- another JRPG series dominating my free gaming time 😂😂

@Czar_Khastik not being able to complain about things is my kryptonite so I feel you

I’ve always wanted to try to get into this Cold Steel (I think it’s called) series and sequels or whatever, but it feels overwhelming to start. Plus, I know once I begin, they’ll remaster or remake the first game

I’ll buy it when on discount and space it out unlike Valhalla. I don’t think I’ll ever play one of these bloated AC games from start to finish again. So many of the collectibles were just unenjoyable- and I’m one who stupidly loves mindlessly collecting things. Quality over quantity is the best approach

One “arc”/chapter/region at a time is a lot more manageable. That being said, I can’t justify buying it at full price. I know other people who unfortunately share the same sentiment as I

The gaming market is full of huge releases right now like Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, Helldivers 2, etc. So I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of potential buyers are caught up in other games and will get to Rebirth later. I think the sales will be fine at the end of the day IMO. There’s only so many hours in a day. And a lot of these games lately are 80+ hours like P3R

I haven’t even finished the first one yet. I put it on hold for some other game last year. I want to revisit it though

I bet Astrobot could beat Sackboy up in a fight. Give us what we want, Sony. A 1v1 pay per view event of Astrobot versus Sackboy

I tried playing God of War 1 from the PS3 and the action prompts were almost ridiculously impossible. I had to quit despite liking the combat because the game’s streaming wasn’t registering my inputs fast enough. I was so excited to dive into PS3 streaming too since I missed that generation. The experience turned me off from it

@Kidfunkadelic83 1st one is obviously the roughest (still solid though). If you got through and liked it, you’ll like/love 2 & 3. 2 is my favorite. But yeah, life gets busy. I hope down the line you find some time to experience them both!

This would’ve been a Day 1 buy if FF7 Rebirth wasn’t so close to it. Unicorn Overlord looks to be an awesome game.

Mass Effect at that price is a great deal. 3 awesome games for that low price is fantastic!

@Dragonaged @EVIL-C thank you both! Pets are additional family members to us, so it’s challenging. She was like a mom to our dogs, always watching out for her little buddies everywhere. So it’s a tough loss. But thank you for the kind words!

Received the game, started downloading it and at around 75%, my 20-year old cat suddenly passed away. We were not expecting it. We believe she had a heart attack. Super depressing way to start the day

Soon 😈😈 Download is halfway through 😎😎

You can’t spell Persona without Faz

Just beat Reload last night. Loved every minute of it. Can’t wait for the inevitable DLC 😎😎

Well, manga is right to left so maybe this was on purpose 😈😈

Kidding aside, this would have confused me for a minute until I put in the other disc in or used Google

I’ll take more Persona-esque games any day of the week since the social aspects are unrivaled IMO. There are not really any games/franchises quite like it. I don’t want a carbon copy but if it’s influenced by Persona and it’s an Atlus game, mega pluses for me. I’m sure others don’t share that sentiment which is all good 😎😎😎

What a legend. I remember some Chad helping me beat the final boss (phase 2). All I did was lie down and he took care of it for me. Whoever you are, you’re my hero :’))))))

I ended up beating the boss legit later on but man, that boss wasn’t fun. Malenia on the other hand, super fun

I have this lined up to be my main Summer game. Probably alongside SMT V and Elden Ring DLC. Excited to play BG3 but want the time to dedicate to it. Congrats to Larian for the 10 million sales!

@andrix9743 after platimum’ing Replicant, I have to agree the trophies were very grindy for some of them. Still love both Automata & Replicant, but that trophy list was a pain

@Nei don’t forget we still have at least Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin. Bleakest of all bleak years 😂😂 2024 has been great so far though for real

@ShogunRok are there any missable weapons/materia? I’m assuming chapter select is a thing post-game. I’m more meaning like missable “gear” you can’t go back and grab easy

Persona 3 Reload and Foamstars. Finally got to Gold rank in Foamstars.

This will be the first sports game I buy Day 1 since I was a kid. So pumped for this

Nah man, my mom has an eagle eye for this kind of stuff. My mom figured out Minions wasn’t an animated movie before anyone else found out. Those little yellow guys are the real deal. Kojima won’t be able to pull a fast one on her!

@Mikey856 okay fine you win. Bloodborne 2 first.

Give me Elden Ring 2

On June 1st and just witnessed Junpei’s scary story time. Loving P3R so far. I’ll take any Persona content tbh

Jujutsu Kaisen is a great anime IP. Wish they just did something more unique than this

If Foamstars doesn’t die out fast, I think there’s a lot of potential here. Tons of people who are PS only haven’t played Splatoon. So it’s their first feel at a game “similar”. I’m having a blast with it

@Czar_Khastik

Oh man, I didn’t see this! Sorry about that!

About the Yakuza games: you said you were watching recaps for some of the games. I’d 100% suggest playing all of them but you said your time is limited. So, I meant that if you didn’t have free time, 3/4/5 are the ones I’d focus more on watching a recap. Still, I 100% think all of the games have value to play. Those are just the most outdated/clunky that can be easily recapped if time is limited.

The mini-games RGG makes are so whacky yet lovable. There’s always something for everyone whether it’s mahjong, karaoke, clan creator, dragon kart, baseball cages, etc. You’ll find a bunch you love when you play them all eventually 😎😎

Infinite Wealth is awesome. Ichiban is an amazing protagonist. He’s the lovable goof compared to the stoic Kiryu. Great contrast IMO. I think the story is as good as it’s ever been. Very long but it pays off. Gameplay is a huge ass improvement over Yakuza 7. It’s much deeper with more job options. Without spoiling anything, if you like Y7, it’s impossible not to love Infinite Wealth

Foamstars and Persona 3 Reload. I never play multiplayer games but I’m loving Foamstars. I’ve never tried Splatoon but I love this. My favorite character to play is Soa but I’m undefeated in rank with Agito (even though I’m ***** with him). Game is addicting so far despite the ***** microtransactions

P3R is great but I don’t want to rush through it

Why stop at 4 A’s and not just go to 5?

The only reason XBox is potentially moving to multi-platform is for them to put a new Banjo game on the PS5. 10 million copies sold first day is my prediction

Wait until Persona 6 comes out. That’ll sell like pancakes

As long as I don’t have to worry about Microsoft trying to buy out a studio I’m in love with (ex. Sega with Atlus & RGG), I’m fine with them moving on from making systems. Although, this obviously doesn’t stop them from buying out other companies It’d be nice to play Bethesda games on release day again!

I’m planning on doing a NG+ run when I platinum it so this is nice! I’ll save it for the summer tho

I want to watch but I’m going to pass. I’m already a Day 1 buyer of the two steelbooks edition.

This State of Play is more for people on the fence or ones leaning no. I really hope the Soap sways a bunch of people into experiencing both Remake/Rebirth or continue onto Rebirth.

I’ve always wanted to try Gears of War so that could be awesome for me. Also, if this means any future Spyro games can come to the PS5, sign me up! That is if they ever make another Spyro 😭😭😭

@Nei yeah, a flashback is the only way it’d make sense. I wouldn’t have been opposed to that. But I think Cliff’s story/role felt “final” in the first game.

@Nepp67 I can see how people interpreted that! I just didn’t see it that way. His character acts so goofy/different especially with the guitar in the trailer. It very well might just be a new Higgs 🤪😂😂

Higgs I expected to come back. Cliff I 0% did not think he’d return, So this is no surprise to me at least

@Nowings couldn’t agree more. Hard Mode upped the ante and delivered. I bet this time around it’ll be even better with all the new materia, attacks, playable characters and features. Cannot wait for this!

Every quest for a bronze is just lame. At least make it a silver

But I love that we have to do a Hard playthrough. FF7R’s combat shined in Hard Mode. Can’t wait to play this bad boy twice 😎😎😎
