I remember spending PS4's launch day crying in a corner because I couldn't get one. It wouldn't be until last year that I'd get my hands on one.

It's alright. Marginally better than the usual lazy boxarts we get.

I'm looking forward to playing these. Spyro 2 and 3 are some of my favorite games ever, and I look forward to playing the first one again.

Has anyone even finished Red Dead Redemption 2? It feels like it's barely been out before it got nominated.

I had to do a double take when I saw the news earlier. I just couldn't believe it.

To say Marvel Comics has had a large impact in my life would be an understatement. Spider-Man in particular was and still is my favorite superhero. I remember growing up looking at Spider-Man and the X-Men and wishing I could be as heroic as they were. Even today I still feel inspired by superheroes, and Stan the Man had a big part in that. It taught me that even guys like me can be a great person.

And while yes, he was alive for nearly a hundred years and undoubtedly lived a full life, he's also been around for so long that him leaving this world is still a surreal thing.

Rest in Peace, Stanley Leiber.

It's good to see another character from 012 return. And I'll gladly take anything FFX related.

I actually forgot this game's release date. I've been busy with so much I spaced it off.

I'll get this at some point, there's a lot of stuff I'm looking at.

If I have the cash to burn and I enjoyed the game, then yeah, I'll stump up for SP DLC. A lot of times whenever this stuff came out, I just never had the money to get it. I missed out of Sleeping Dogs' DLC when that came out, I missed Infamous Festival of Blood when that came out, but I can get them now that I have some extra money.

Controversy on YouTube, what a shock.

A Rockstar game being involved? Double shocker.

Already looking forward to it. Got 100% on The Heist and can't wait to continue the story it set up.

@AdamNovice There's plenty of complaints about removing Mr. Game-and-Watch's feather on NintendoLife, on a 200+ comment article. Nintendo still have their reputation for censorship, and that probably won't change considering how infamous they've been about it. People probably expect it from them, now.

Never thought the day would come when Nintendo is more hardcore than their competition.

Having played through 1 and 2 with 3 currently on hold, I like the series and am sad at how it seems to have fallen so far.

Once I finish the trilogy, maybe I'll check out Andromeda just to see if it really is that bad.

As much as I enjoy Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, I often wonder how they can make games so good when they're so disorganized.

I'd rather they just get this out and work on the next main entry, if possible. Or a new project. The remake is enough for the FF7 world.

At least now that KH3 is about done, this will definitely be their next focus.

I wouldn't be surprised if people were obsessed over Arthur's appearance. Since I'm a little stickler with customizing characters just right, I'd probably go nuts over this too.

I reckon I'll let you know when I finally play it.

It does look lower res compared to stuff N.Sane Trilogy, but I'll still get it. Been wanting to play it for ages.

I guess with the new development team, WHAT COULD PAWSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Ugh, I threw up a little in my mouth.

I dunno, 118 trophies, I'd expect the extra gong too. Crazy number to have without a platinum.

I started playing DOA5 again to prepare for this. Christie is cool, but my mains were always Kasumi and Hitomi.

@ShogunRok Figured I'd ask anyway. If any game would break those numbers, it would be another Rockstar game.

So, what's the chance of this outselling GTA V?

I won't be buying it, but I don't think the lineup is terrible. It may seem kinda naked not having more "big" names like Gran Turismo and Tomb Raider, but I've always thought that even in the PS1 era, PlayStation's biggest strength was having lesser known games shine.

The lineup has some games that don't really come to mind when I think PlayStation (with a few I've never played), but still are solid enough games.

Wish I had a chance to play a demo for it. Game looks really good.

The lineup seems ok. The biggest shock for me is the original Persona being there: The game is infamous for a bad localization and generally agreed to suffer First Game Syndrome.

Battle Arena Toshinden's a bit of a surprise too.

Not surprised, honestly. Rockstar get 10s like Bill Russell won championships.

Also- this is the second week in a row where a game I want releases on my payday, yet I can't take advantage of it. My spirit animal must be a black cat. Or maybe that Spidey DLC gave me bad luck.

Just saying, that tagline is win.

Having already played through the story, I'll admit I was slightly disappointed. I wasn't expecting anything major, but I felt the story ended quicker than I thought, though I still found the story parts good and entertaining.

The extra challenges with Screwball I actually like so far, since they're just different enough from the Taskmaster challenges from the main game. New collectable I didn't mind either, since it's an extra bit of Spidey lore.

I'd say yeah, it could have been more, but what's there isn't too bad. Since it's basically episode 1 of the DLC trilogy, it'll probably look better once the rest are released.

Not really shocked it's a 10. Rockstar probably have a bat struck with lightning somewhere.

I can't get it right away, I splashed $184 for an 8TB drive, but it's high on the list once that drive comes in.

He has a point for sure, and frankly, I'm kinda glad it's not being made in this era either. In my opinion, both sides of the political climate are so loud, with seemingly everyone with an internet connection saying something about it, that whatever message or satire would just be another bit of noise among the rest.

I'll be the first to admit that I may not be qualified to speak about politics, but I wonder what can really be added to an already escalated discussion.

I have yet to play it, but I unfortunately bought it months ago for the backlog. In the mood for an Infamous replay anyway.

If it's such a hassle, I'd rather not bother. Hopefully they can work these out, otherwise a name change isn't worth all that.

Bleh. The light looks cool, but that's too pricey. I wouldn't mind a bean bag chair, but the design could have been better, not to mention my lack of space. Everything else? No way.

If it's gonna be busted, then you could, I dunno, delay it? Give yourself more time to fix it? Wouldn't that be the best course?

There must be something in their contracts that mandates a certain amount of bugs at launch.

Longcoats honestly aren't my thing, but if I wanted a replica of a DMC coat, I'm sure there's a cheaper option.

I've already talked about it a couple times, but I guess I'll repeat the origin of HeartBreakJake95, the fruitiest name on PSN.

For starters, my uncle picked the name while he was setting up my account while I was at school. "Heartbreak" is from pro wrestler Shawn Michaels, nicknamed "The Heartbreak Kid". He's my favorite wrestler. Jake (Which I hate being called) is obviously short for my given name of Jacob, and 95 refers to my birth year of 1995. Yep. I don't really hate the name, but if I had to pick a name, I would have done something else.

For extra lameness, he gave me the same name on 360, but with the Es replaced with 3s. That was true shame.

They should be. I don't see anyone saying polish is a bad thing.

Yep. I'm still subscribed to GameInformer, pretty much the only gaming mag left in the US.

I like to collect them, but It's also just nice to read a physical thing every once in a while. And come on, the art for the covers and pages are pleasing to look at. The Internet has made them less important I'll admit, but I still enjoy kicking back with a gaming mag.

Nope. Not enough room for me, unfortunately. Gonna have to wait.

Another one missing it on launch here. Not because of Red Dead (I'm missing that too), but because I'm saving up for a hard drive. I could get it but I don't feel like deleting anymore games.

Works perfectly for me. No issues recently.

Like the suits, and I am looking forward to the seeing what the DLC will be like. I'll buy it sometime soon.

I've always thought the issue was that the DLC was announced way ahead of release. Personally, I always feel uneasy when that's the case, but I won't mind if there's a lot of effort put into it.

I used to use walkthroughs as a kid, since it didn't require too much effort to read a guide and follow instructions. Now, I rarely use them, because I want to figure the answer out for myself. It makes whatever difficult part I struggle with more satisfying because I got it without help. When I do use guides now, it's either because I'm one collectable short and WHERE ON EARTH IS IT I FREAKING COMBED THE WHOLE LEVEL. Or because I'm curious about any alternative ways of clearing a game after I already finished it. Experimenting, essentially.

I'm not an elitist about it though. If people want to use a walkthrough, that's up to them. Sometimes I don't blame them. Playing old RPGs without a guide of sorts it very difficult, and games like the first Zelda are basically impossible to enjoy without one.

I'd love to play this one day. Just one of many games that I somehow missed out on.

I don't think it's unreasonable to play the game without much care for the story beyond the basics. The hook for the series for me was always exploring the Disney worlds and the sublime gameplay. I care about the story but mostly on a surface level. I haven't really looked at it under a magnifying glass beyond whatever I've simplified.

I like the design of the cars. The mix of futuristic while looking like a realistic vehicle is pretty cool.

It's on my radar. I still haven't gotten a racing game for my PS4.

@Kidfried and @rjejr beat me to it. Trying decide a mascot for PS4 is pretty hard. Yeah, you could say Kratos or Drake, but both have only appeared once, and the latter is retired. Same goes for Ratchet.

PlayStation as a brand has grown so much, I don't even think it needs a mascot to represent it's identity.

Besides, if this article didn't exist, I'd have forgotten Astro Bot did. Or never learn it's name.

I rarely ever play games on a proper release day, so even if I wanted to I would never pay early to play a few days earlier than the rest! Especially if there's no added incentives for the extra price.

You know my issue is? The potential of spoilers being higher with this. Spoiler dodging is already painful, but some games could possibly be spoiled before the actual release if it's short enough.
