There are actually very few Xbox titles I have interest in and none of them are currently on PS. However if Gears of War, Halo, Sunset Overdrive or maybe even Quantum Break ever make it to PS I will definitely be all over those.
I’ve played both Fallout 3 and 4 to 100% completion on the trophy stack and that’s enough to last me a lifetime for Fallout games. They’re aight but overrated IMHO.
Interesting…… the PS Store in the USA shows it as being full price right now? I definitely want to play this game at some point but with Stellar Blade coming out this week and the Remnant 2 DLC having just dropped, it’s gonna be a while. Glad to hear all the performance issues have largely been fixed as that’s what put me off the game at release. It looks absolutely amazing and I do enjoy a good souls-like.
@DennisReynolds @Pepsiman_100
The body style of the main character (including the longer legs - not just the 'painted on' costume), running style, music, combo-based attacks all harken back to Bayonetta for me. Plus, when I was playing the demo, I seem to recall there was a pause menu or section of the game where you could try out diffrent attacks and it would show you what inputs you were hitting which was extremely close to what Bayonetta did on it's loading screen.
Don't get me wrong - I do see some comparisons to Nier as well. And I know the game director (I believe it was?) said Nier was an inspiration for Stellar Blade. But for me I just see the DNA of Bayonetta in this game moreso than Nier.
And I'll just throw it out there and be 'that guy', but I think Nier is rather overrated. It's a decent game and all but I don't get everyone's wild praise for the game. It was 'just OK' IMHO.
It’s funny to see everyone comparing Stellar Blade to Nier. To me, at least, it’s far more reminiscent of Bayonetta than Nier and I say that having played both games.
Haven’t really had much to play as of late so I’ve been going back and getting 100% on some games I platinumed but never 100%’d. After doing that with Fallout 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn recently, I’m now on Horizon Forbidden West and hoping the Burning Shores DLC and NG+ will keep me busy until the next Remnant 2 DLC lands and Stellar Blade shortly after that. happy gaming this weekend everyone!
As much as I’d love to see both Dead Space 2 AND 3 get remade, I’d much prefer a remake / remaster of the Resistance trilogy. Now THAT is a series in serious need of an update!
Huh. That's odd. My support for that game ended shortly after buying and playing it. One of the most miserable gaming experiences I've ever had. And with 267 games on my profile, that's saying something considering some of the duds I've stumbled across..... In fact, after the state in which BF V and 2042 launched in, I won't get fooled a third time. I'll be waiting for numerous patches and a few price drops before I get lured back into that franchise.
I highly doubt $70 games are a ‘temporary’ thing. As long as there’s inflation (which there always will be) and people keep paying that price for games ‘they have to have!!’, that price is not going away.
Myself, I RARELY ever pay full price for a game. I simply put games I’m interested in on a wishlist and wait until they hit a threshold I’m comfortable paying for.
Unfortunately I really don’t have anything to play until the DLC for RESISTANCE: Retribution comes out next week….. maybe I’ll jump back into Helldivers 2. Been a few weeks since I played that.
Kind of BS that they’d create a ‘skin suit’ for a protagonist that’s had much made of her body and where they’ve applied ‘jiggle physics’ to her boobs and then say “don’t use the pervy skin suit’. Hypocrisy much?
I’ve decided to go back and complete three of the DLC’s I never finished waaaaay back in the day for Fallout 3 on PS3 so I’m spending so time doing that. It’s almost painful to do though because the graphics are just terrible compared to what I’ve been used to for so many years now and the gameplay itself is just CLUNKY. But, it’s still somewhat enjoyable in a nostalgic way.
Great idea for the devs / publisher to put a demo out there for this. It definitely helped inform my buying decision. More new IP’s should be doing this, especially if the devs and publishers stand behind their product.
Just spent some time playing this and I liked it enough to pre-order a copy. Definitely get some STRONG Bayonetta vibes from it for sure. The music, fighting style, sex appeal, character physique, etc.all make me think ‘Bayonetta’ which certainly isn’t a bad thing! Very much looking forward to playing the full release in a few weeks. Great idea to put a demo out there for this as it absolutely helped inform my purchase decision. More brand new IP’s should be doing this, especially if the devs really stand behind their work.
Very much looking forward to this, but I have the feeling that if it turns out to be a ‘difficult game’ , that may put some people off of it. Hopefully there are difficulty settings. I, personally, don’t mind the challenge, but some people do and avoid tougher games because of it.
Not really sure what I’m playing this weekend, actually. I just platinumed Helldivers 2 and don’t have anything in my backlog, so I’m looking for something new to play. Might go back and do the Spider-Man 2 NG+ trophy but …..?????🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽
Had no idea this was even out there but I’ll definitely have my eye on it. Looks like a potentially good game. Certainly something to play in the Summer months as it doesn’t look like there’s much coming out at that time.
I don't buy much at full price anymore so I'll likely grab this once it hits the $20 - $30 range. I will say though, the fact that it was on sale for 10% off on the PS Store long before it was even released was a big red flag to begin with.
I’m playing the impressive CYBERPUNK 2077: Phantom Liberty and I just got a (rather hard to find) physical copy of Helldivers 2 I’ll be starting once I finish the Phantom Liberty DLC. I’m very much looking forward to Helldivers 2 but I’m also in no rush to blow through Phantom Liberty either as it’s quite well done and beefy for an add-on.
Nothing for me personally but admittedly another solid month. Sony is crushing the Essential tier so far this year. Every month has had good games so far.
I see that Quantum Error is down to $25 and I'm tempted to pull the trigger on it as I've had my eye on it since it was in production, but I hear it's absolutely AWFUL. Maybe if I hold out long enough it'll drop to $15???
This one isn't for me but it's definitely a quality game and good to see Sony continuing the strong offerings trend for this year after starting with Evil West and following up this past month with the excellent Steelrising and completely addictive and fun Rollerdrome.
Playing through Rollerdrome which is an incredibly fun and rather addictive game. Also playing through RESISTANCE: Retribution for nostalgia’s sake and because I really enjoy (and miss!) the RESISTANCE series. Controls and graphics are terrible but it’s nice to have another RESISTANCE game on the trophy stack. I wish they would make a new one. Either that or a remaster of Fall Of Man with trophies!
Looks Amazing!! My most anticipated game this year is now actually DLC. And a substantial one at that judging by the price tag. Also one of the VERY RARE instances where I will preorder something.
ROCK BOTTOM EXPECTATIONS.......... basically the same thing I also have for that Steven Seagal reggae album I, too, was unaware of until I read these comments. SMH / LOLOLOLOL
With the addition of RESISTANCE: Retribution Sony will finally be getting me to upgrade to Premium. Been looking forward to this for a long time. Plus Jet Moto 2 is a nice addition as well. I’m not a big fan of racing games but for some reason I always really enjoyed the Jet Moto series
I absolutely loved the Resistance series (wish it would make a comeback with a new entry) and have been looking for this to hit Premium. I played it back on PSP and had a blast with it. Now that it finally will be making it's appearance on PS4 and 5, as long as it has trophies , it looks like Sony will finally get me to upgrade to Premium for a few months until my next subscription cycle.
THERE IT IS!!!!!!!! Been waiting for RESISTANCE: Retribution to show up on Premium! If it shows up with trophies Sony will get my $$ for the remainder of my yearly subscription. And Jet Moto 2 as well?? BONUS!!!
To be fair, since the comparison was made, The Callisto Protocol was a ‘AAAA’ game in terms of actual QUALITY, but it underperformed in terms of expectations and wasn’t as fun to play due to the clunky melee based combat the game relied so heavily on. But as far as graphics, sound, environment, responsiveness of the controls, etc? Yeah it was solid as a rock.
Been burned FAR too many times on pre-orders so I’ll pass until some reviews are out. More than likely I’ll buy this at full price and close to launch as I’ve had this on my radar for quite some time but I can’t bring myself to pre-order an ‘unknown quantity’. If it were something like God Of War, Dead Space, Crysis, BioShock, etc I would do it as I know what I’m (likely) getting for my money but not w a new IP.
