Deadhunter

I picked up Savage Halloween for 50 cents. It's not bad, just a pain in the ass. I couldn't even come close ti beating the first boss. There may be a lot of shovelware in the indie sale, but there are also some true gems. I'd recommend Wintermoor Tactics Club to anyone who likes grid based combat, it's absolutely charming.

@djlard Freedom Force was fantastic! I love Marvel, so I'm excited for this, but a Freedom Force follow-up would be almost as cool.

Man, not only do the models look better, but they move more realistically. No more Ken and Barbie conversations. Getting hyped!

Sweet! I think I can tear myself away from Mass Effect for 30 minutes for this.

HZD was one of the most polished open world games I've had the pleasure to play. As far as the story goes, it had some fantastic setup and world building, but the plot itself was a little slow, and much of the voice acting was flat. I love the world and Aloy is a great protag, so I'm really looking forward to a follow-up.

God that looks janky. I...I might play this...

Eh, another miss for me. I own Squadrons, Operation Tango is multiplayer with a required mic so that's a no, and zero interest in Virtua Fighter. At least I have Ratchet and FFVIIReI this month.

They had me at the hilariously dumb title and "Dark Pinocchio", but lost me at a Souls-like.

I loved the original on Xbox, but tried out the PS2 port on PS4 last year and it felt rough and janky as hell. I may give it another shot before the sequel drops.

Mostly Mass Effect, but also finishing up a random second playthrough of South Park: The Fractured But Whole. I may also do a little Ghostbusters campaign work in Planet Coaster.

I'm heading out to Best Buy first thing in the morning whether they've got my pre-order ready or not. I've been through four or five Shepards already over the years, and I'm stoked for this.

@ItsATM I love the series, but if you already think this one looks uninteresting, take a pass.

Sigh. I sort of feel like I'm missing out, but I also know I wouldn't enjoy this. Bullet hell constant frantic dodging and rogue progress resets are absolutely not my cup of tea. Perhaps I'll just seek out some YouTube playthroughs.

I almost exclusively buy digital now. The only exceptions are new releases that I want to try but am unsure of (like someone above, I bought Outriders physical, played it for a couple of weeks, and sold it). But generally I wait for a decent sale on digital games that I'm interested in. Less physical space taken on shelves, no swapping discs, no handling of discs by my 11 year old.

This Marvel fan says yes-effing-please!

Ok, that's pretty awesome. I dropped off the campaign as I moved into the Hard scenarios and focused on other games, but this will totally bring me back.

It looks well made, but the bullet hell aspect makes it a no for me, after already being iffy on it being a roguelike.

My personal GOTYs were Tsushima, FFVIIRe and Miles Morales, so I'm glad to see they all got a little love.

It has my curiosity, but I'll need to see some reviews before it has my attention.

This is an absolutely killer cast. Looks fun. I'm in.

This is Day One for me. These games hit me right where it matters, and I love them, warts and all.

MY EMOTIONS!!!

I just started Tales of Vesperia Definitive after picking it up in the Spring Sale, and I'm really enjoying it so far. The Tales games are historically hit-or-miss with me, but this? This looks like it may be Day One.

Yeah, I'm going to take a pass on this. I've got streaming services out the wazoo. I want better games access if any changes are coming.

This would be amazing! I have no idea how many times I went through those games on Xbox. It was a lot. Also, they'd better bring Ashley Eckstein back as Mission, and Raphael Sbarge as Carth. I will accept no other voices.

Isn't it a release date trailer because it's a trailer that came out on the release date?

Yes, sir. Looking fine. Damn fine. One of my favorite series of all time, containing one of my favorite games of all time (ME2). One more month...

@solocapers @get2sammyb Renew Licenses in Settings and those dead icons will go away.

Sounds like there are still some issues. I think I'll give it a little more time, maybe wait for the first decent discount. I've been waiting a while for this, so I can do a bit longer.

Yeah, this was a massive miss. The controls are clunky and the game just isn't fun. After this and lame Bugsnax, I'll be pretty suspicious of PS5 Plus announcements.

I was interested in Uncharted until Holland started talking about what a "cool, stoic" guy his Drake is. The Nate I know is a smarmy, wisecracking dork. I am however, and unrelatedly, hopeful for Mortal Kombat in a couple of weeks.

@Futureshark I booted up Ratchet & Clank the other day to check out the patch, and noticed no difference, which was weird because 30 vs 60 is usually night and day.

It's pretty solid. There's very little feedback when you're hitting a target. You just kind of hold the fire button until something falls down.

I'm curious about it. I liked the combat in the little bit of the demo that I played, but the constant, boring cut scenes drove me nuts. I played The Division 2 for maybe 10-12 hours before losing interest, and hated the Avengers gameplay loop. Should I give this a miss?

Uh. Yeah. Good luck with all...that.

I thought it was a masterpiece, but to each his own I guess. I GUESS.

Seems weird that such a seemingly simple game has had so many delays. Of course a lot of Lego games are bugfests (I never did beat the final boss of Pirates of the Caribbean because it crashed every single time), so more development time can hopefully only help. I'm really looking forward to this though.

It's a shame that every single frame will still be a boring, lifeless slog.

Eh, a miss for me. I'll definitely check out Oddworld, but I really disliked what I played of Days Gone (and already own it through PS Collection) and ZA4 isn't my thing. Which is all fine, since I'm playing catch up anyway.

@Number09 What? I have all of the Bioshocks and most of the Assassin's Creeds along with Bully downloaded on my PS5. I'm sure several of those others are available as well. If you're so interested in the classics, keep your old consoles and buy physical. You can't expect generations old storefronts to run in perpetuity.

@Profondo The article says it's a glitch. How is that "purposely (by design)"? Game designers aren't looking to trigger seizures for funsies...

Of all the stories of Middle-earth, and all of the characters you could play as...

@nessisonett Kill Bill may be the closest thing, but that's a mix of a lot of different styles.

I love this. Ichiban's hairstyle needs to be a little more blown out, but they look fantastic.

I already have HZD and Moss. I'm looking forward to Astrobot and my son wants to try Thumper.

@RBMango Fair enough. I thought Chloe's attitude was understandable, and really liked getting to know Rachel Amber. The talkback thing was inconsequential, but didn't detract from anything in my opinion. To each his own. 👍

Jesus, what? Why make this announcement part of the show? So, so weird.

@RBMango Why, if you don't mind my asking? I loved Before the Storm just as much as the original.

@Rob_230 They have to whip everyone's expectations into a frenzy so they can get those clicks later by raging about how Square dropped the ball.

I played through it on PS5 and enjoyed it, but it isn't remarkable enough to give it another run whenever the upgrade releases. Just a disappointment all around. Still wondering about that Witcher 3 upgrade though...

So how many times is this going to happen before Sony overhauls the process? There's obviously some unresolved issues.
