I still have some Game Informer magazines with covers like Halo 3, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and the 20th anniversary of PlayStation cover. I loved reading them as a kid. I think I’m going to go to GameStop today and buy whatever magazines they’ve got left.

Sounds like it’ll be much different from the games. Knowing that I’ll hopefully not be disappointed by it. But probably still will…

@Scottyy idk I think it’s better than skipping them

Been playing Final Fantasy: Rebirth after finishing up Yakuza 3 Remastered and Resistance: Retribution (PS5) recently. I’ve also been dipping into Yakuza 4 Remastered, XDefiant, and MW3 multiplayer.

The gorilla animality where he breaks the jaw open is an ode to Peter Jackson’s King Kong where he does that to the T-Rex, and they show the T-Rex skeleton animality right after! Haha. Netherrealm excels at making trailers.

I’m not expecting a performance from the actor playing Kiryu to be as good as the real thing but I hope he resembles him just a little in his personality. Other than that, I think the show looks great.

Movement looks floaty like Destiny 2’s multiplayer but with less space magic. I think this misses the mark in terms of flashy-looking gameplay. These snippets of gameplay make me want to play the game less because it just looks so slow and kinda boring. The character designs just feel like they are trying too hard to appeal to a specific demographic and that demographic is not me. This is coming from a big GotG and Marvel fan.

@Scottyy I’ve been playing through the Yakuza games this year. Started with Kiwami and have played through Zero, 1, 2, 3 and Judgement. The only games that are longer than 20 hours of those are Zero and Judgement. The Yakuza games are actually short if you mainline them.

I’m excited for this game despite not watching much at all and keeping my head down about it. I’m hopeful it’s a decent 8/10 open world Star Wars game with some pleasant surprises mixed in. If it’s evenclose to the quality of the Jedi Survivor games then we’ll be fine.

@colonelkilgore absolutely my thoughts as well

Got a lot of Fortnite fans in the comments section haha. I think it looks sweet though and I’m surprised so many people are mad about a car.

I’m hoping for Binary Domain 2 with a remaster of the first game. I think it’ll actually be Judgement 3.

Just finished up Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty after starting that game about 2 and a half years ago. Glad I played it but happy to have it crossed off my backlog. I’ve entered the final chapter in Jedi Survivor today so I’ll be finishing that up this weekend. Next week I’ll be focusing on making some progress in Yakuza 3 and recently picked up MW3 (2023) so I could play the OG MW2 maps again. Nostalgia got me on this one. I really prefer the gunplay in CoD over XDefiant but I prefer the movement and color palette of XDefiant. Guess I’ll be playing both for awhile for my FPS fix.

My prediction is they are going to try a souls like gameplay style next but I don’t want them to. I hope they go back to the brawler style gameplay with some refinements.

Picked up The Ori Collection on Swith along with Black Ops: Declassified and FFX on Vita. So I’ll be dipping into those. I need to get some rounds of XDefiant in as well as dabble a little in The First Descendant and play as Geralt of Rivia. Also, I’ll likely plow through the final few missions in Jedi Survivor. Going to be a busy weekend!

Had the deluxe edition of the original on PS3 but only put about 4 hours into it. The trailer makes me want to revisit this with the physical copy in November.

@nomither6 I wouldn’t mind either. I personally really enjoyed the remake

Never played it and was never interested in playing it until I played Hi-Fi Rush. Honestly though I’d still rather have the Resistance games remade or remastered over this any day. Heck, I’d even take remakes of the Ratchet and Clank games first too. Maybe Somy could hire a different team to bring Insomniac’s games to PS4/PS5.

Looks like Gears of War meets Days Gone meets Outriders

I’m excited to see what’s next for XDefiant! I hope it’s a look at what’s next. I’m assuming it is but I suppose it could be a celebration of the successful launch.

Fantastic shooter to pick up and play a match or two then hop off to something else. I see myself playing this game on and off for many years.

Definitely playing some more XDefiant as I’m loving the old school CoD feel of the gameplay and maps. The yakuza series still has me hooked so more of Kiwami 2 and 7 are definitely on the docket for the Portal this weekend.

@Ravix AC: Unity is extremely underrated imo. I’d love a sequel to it.

Really surprised at how much I’m enjoying this game. I was a huge CoD4 and MW2 player back in the day and this game brings me back to those times. I’m excited to play this for years to come and hopefully it catches on and is supported. The lack of SBMM is such a relief and makes the matches way more varied and entertaining compared to modern CoD.

Just finished chapter 5 of Yakuza Kiwami 2 so I’m starting the Majima saga. Really loving this game so far and don’t feel like playing much else. I just picked up Granblue Fantasy Relink and might start that up as I’ve been looking forward to playing it since the demo came out. Also plan on playing some Remnant 2 and Helldivers 2 with a buddy this weekend. Such great co-op games. Should be a good time.

Looks amazing. Like fight night round 5

@Jaz007 boo, I love Dragon Age: Origins gameplay and felt like it was way more fun and interesting than any ‘TTRPG’ I’d ever played. I’m way more hyped for this game now.

I love playing third person action games on my Portal as I feel the slight delay is completely unnoticeable most of the time. I stay away from FPS games as those seem to be less snappy especially Destiny. However, Cyberpunk works really well though. Yakuza has been my favorite game to play on the device. Played through Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1, Judgment, and now I’m working on Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 7 simultaneously. These have been my favorite Portal games so far. The style of these games feel awesome to play in the handheld format.

After finishing FFXVI a few WAYP’s back I can’t seem to stick to a game. I have been bouncing around between Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 7, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Jedi Survivor. I want to try to stick to one this weekend, but we’ll see how that goes.

@Enigk I was looking for this comment

I finally finished the Outriders campaign after taking a year off from it. Pretty fun but average game overall. Started Yakuza: Like a Dragon up again and I’m really enjoying it. Also still playing Resistance: Retribution primarily on the Portal. A couple of minutes here and there of MvC: Infinite’s story mode whenever my kids say “daddy play Spider-Man”. Some Freedom Wars on toilet.

PC players are betas

Looking forward to a Halo/Last of Us tv show crossover

I just don’t have time for these longer games and I think a lot of people have open-world fatigue right now. Linear games are what I’m focusing on right now and it helps me to be able to complete more games.

Definitely had a lot of marketing

Getting into Remnant 2 with some friends. Really enjoying it so far! Also, started up Phantom Liberty this week and realized I need to do some of the main game side quests that I skipped after mainlining most of the main story. Really getting into it but need to take breaks from it after a few hours. I can only handle so much of the depressing tone. Resistance: Retribution on my Portal has been a great in between games kinda game. Still super fun after all these years.

@Gamer83 Tennis on the Vita was underrated. Had a ton of fun with it in the past as well.

@Jireland92 an 8 is GREAT

Put Exoprimal on PS Plus or Extra and it’ll have some life to it for sure but no one is going out of their way to buy it when you’ve got Helldivers 2 and Remnant 2 around

@CWill97 You might like Mad Max, it has a similar feel and premise to Days Gone, however, not nearly as long. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit especially upgrading my car. The combat is a blast too, imo. You might also want to check out the Forbidden West DLC as the main villain is the same actor that played Deacon and his performance is one of my favorites he’s done.

Potentially finishing up FFXVI this weekend or early next week. Currently playing through Rising Tide and then have the final mission to polish off my first pass through this game. I’m tempted to go for the platinum as I did everything in the base game so just need a second play-through on hard. 63 hours of pure joy. I’m going to be sad to put the game down finally. Other than that, probably some OG God of War on the Vita. I’m at the first boss and forgot how hard games used to be on normal. Definitely my favorite God of War game still to this day.

@mrbone SAME. Well said.

@VaultGuy415 Skyrim is a fantasy RPG. This is a medieval sim. So different in so many ways. It’s weird to compare them.

NieR Automata is the GOAT. I don’t think it’ll be close.

This game has surprised me so much. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have. It’s become one of my favorite games of all time and my favorite game on PS5. Can’t wait for the DLC and hopefully we get more games like this in the future.

@NoHope I recommend Yakuza 0 😎

@Strikke I’m sure some would be unhappy with that. I plan on buying it when I have more time to play it and when it’s cheaper. I refuse to spend full price for a game that will just sit on my shelf. My backlog of games is large and I have more interest in them than I do Rebirth right now. The Yakuza series has got its grips on me right now.

I loved Fallout 3, and liked New Vegas but never finished it. I like Fallout 4 as well and ended up earning the platinum trophy despite not liking it nearly as much as 3. I haven’t started the show yet, however, I am hoping they capitalize on this newfound interest and begin working on either Fallout 5 or a current gen remake of Fallout 3 with all the DLCs included which were some of my favorite parts of the game. There are too many good games out there to make me want to revisit 4 with the PS5 update. I’m happy for those that’ll be playing it for the first time with the new update. I surprisingly spent a dozen or so hours building an impenetrable base in 4 and had a ton of fun doing it. That was probably my favorite part of the game. The overall world was missing the spark that 3 had unfortunately.

Another fact that may play a part in low sales is the fact that it’s a bigger, less-linear game compared to Remake which forces gamers to spend more hours playing it and less hours playing other games they are currently playing. If it was linear I’d be more inclined to pick it up sooner as I could squeeze it in between bigger games. I personally plan on waiting to pick it up when I don’t have so many big games to play.

@Specky yeah I plan on playing those as well including Fist of the North Star which looks awesome. HappyConsoleGaming has a great review
