I'm a fantastic, albeit ageing man, so this is right up my alley

@PuppetMaster Wow, thank you very much for the detailed explanation! That's why I like this community, you always learn something new.

You are right, I did spam attack without thinking too much about the stamina bar. That one is on me. Regardless, I didn't spend too much time on the game, which I will correct in the future.

Legend of Mana is actually the one I have as a physical PS1 disc. I bought it as a part of a larger bulk and it did standout with the graphics when I looked its cover. I don't mind 2D graphics since I also play retro games. As long as there is a good story and gameplay, I'm there. Also you made a great parallel with Dark Cloud 2, I loved the georama! It reminds me a bit of Lost Sphear where you can also shape the world a bit but not as detailed as in these other games.

I will certainly watch out for these new Mana iterations on my local second hand market and as soon as I see a good price, I'll snag them.

@UltimateOtaku91 S/he sent me some leaks regarding LOTR: Gollum 2 but apparently that's a fraud as well.

@get2sammyb Hey kids, guess what your dad was doing last night while you were slaying robots with that semi-nude lady in Stellar Blade

@CWill97 You need to pose as a barely legal Chinese woman and make leaks about a non-existent funny sounding game like Wuchong/Wutang/Changtong which you claim is the next Bloodborne coming from a Chinese developer
(Just a disclaimer, this is a stab at all those new similar sounding soulslike games and not at the nationality)

So you're saying I was sending my pics to a 30-year old white man?

@PuppetMaster Thanks for the recommendation. I only played Secret of Mana a bit, but all I can remember are the constant attack misses during combat. I guess Secret is the lowest ranking Mana game? Are there any other Mana games on the PS4/5 besides these three that you would recommend (if they even exist)?

@get2sammyb That is true. But, and there is a huge but in the room:

• Sony knows how their legacy systems engines work so they should have an advantage over amateurs when doing emulation
• Sony is selling these retro games for a price they find fair
• Sony marketed their highest PS Plus tier as a place where you can enjoy retro games

The consumers should be loud about this and not settle for subpar FPS, resolutions and other quirks because they paid the price tag Sony set.

@ztpayne7 That's good to hear since this particular entry looks stunning. Thank you!

@BrotherFriede If they rebuilt it without prerendered backgrounds that's good enough for me. Heck, I would even accept prerendered background as long as they are not blurry like they are in FF8 Remastered.

Should one play previous Mana games or it's fine to dive into this one first?

@Solingo_Bill I would also like to know if Banishers are any good?

Comparing a game to PS Vita should be regarded as highest form of respect, at least in my circles

@Angelus3K @tangyzesty Fellow commenter didn't read my username

PS5 Pro is needed to achieve resolution boost for PS2 games

What makes a AAAA game:

• Skull
• Bones
• Dragons

@Hyena_socks Khm khm, all six of us fans.

@NinjaNicky Yes, the terrarium does something. It sets you back 200$

@naruball I was in the situation when I couldn't afford things and now that I can more easily afford them, I always say: "50€ has the same value for me then as it has now".

Even if you spend a stupid amount of money on a single game (looking at you, retro games on Ebay), as long as you value it, then it's all good. But paying 70€ for a plastic case and a disc with an unfinished game which people won't play day 1 and without anything a bit special as a manual (oh, the PS1/2/3 days) or an OST just doesn't make sense to me when that game will plummet to half of its price in a matter of months.

And regarding the backlog, it's the same as with women: they have a closet to the brim full with clothes and yet they have nothing to wear. The same way I "have nothing to play"

@naruball That's true. If you don't support the studio by purchasing their games, there is no moving forward for them.

On the other hand, my backlog is so large that if the gaming industry stopped creating games today I would have enough things to play for the rest of my life. Then again, I'm a sucker for deluxe editions with artbooks/steelbooks so these standard editions just don't it for me (unless, as I said, I plan to play them day 1)

I will probably purchase both of these. But since I don't intend to cough up the full price for standard physical editions I won't immediately play, I'll wait for a sale or a sub-20€ price on the second hand market.

Definition of irony: There are so many soulslike games, they became soulless

@colonelkilgore Only 2030? Lucky you

I'm one-handedly writing how offended I am with this

This is no edition. It's just a goodie box

Physical will never die as long as gentlemen like us live

Seinfeld is known as the show about nothing. After Summer Game Fest, Seinfeld was known as the show about nothing.

Summer Money Heist

Perfect for relaxing between a Bloodborne and Sekiro playthrough

I will show my full support to Geoff by going to sleep when the show starts

Pay to live, sounds just like real life

@gpimlott No joke, just being Czar Khastik

It's nice to see devs like these that care about the community and not the money

Finally something to play with my family

Predictions:

• The host will be iritating
• The show will reveal as much as a diving suit reveals skin

Since this is Atlus, there is no way they did it for the money. I guarantee that with my own name.

The Final Apology

@NEStalgia Bad luck. On the other hand, I liked all your comments from my 13-year-old PS Vita which has a browser and an old functional battery

@NEStalgia Wow, you're right. Even I didn't remember the Edge, so I guess it's up to us to make sure it isn't forgotten to be ridiculed

@NEStalgia Combine that with the Dualsense updates and you got yourself a show better than Summer Game Fest

PlayStation firmware security and stability updates get me more excited than Summer Game Fest.

One day I'll be wealthy enough to play free-to-play games.

I'm most excited about the Fortnite and Kingdom Hearts crossover.

Geoff is as important as are traffic lights in GTA

@UltimateOtaku91 You're right, but that was after he cleaned out his closet

@DETfaninATL Oh yes, I missed that one! Thanks mate, I'll spread the word about that hidden gemturd

This masterpiece comes next right after I finish LOTR: Gollum and Rise of Kong

So Eminem is also monster hunting according to the article cover pic, interesting

Giving 30% of the show to an Overwatch clone is not enough, it should have been at least 90%.

If I pop my original Sly Racoon PS2 disc in the PS5, I'm sure I'll be eligible to download the emulated digital version for free.

Do they also intend to finish the games more frequently?

Maybe George Miller would be satisfied if there was no Mad Max in the Mad Max game.
