Dug into my PS Plus pile, after finally finishing Persona 5, and am really enjoying Detriot: Become Human. Adding in a little R&C, and kidding myself into thinking I can get far in Demon's Souls, in the process. Just sort of waiting for Persona Strikers, Disco Elysium, and Returnal.
Bought it on launch day. Spent a little bit of time, but my attention wound up being turned to some simpler fare, like Miles Morales. I’m back to it, though. I honestly want to experience the tech more than grind through, though, and would have preferred a difficulty setting. All you purists can still play the game the way you want it.
Bought Demon Souls, Miles Morales, and Sackboy at launch. What have I spent the most hours on? The original Persona 5.
I can see how loosening Morgana’s stranglehold on you (damnit, I want to train tonight!) would make this an improvement. I just don’t ever see myself playing it over just for some extra content. Original recipe it is.
I know this won't be popular, but I really think these developers need to stop worrying about systems which can't run their games properly and focus on next-gen. People will buy those systems in due time.
Still playing Persona 5 for the first time - about 25 hours in. I slowly put in some time in Miles Morales and Sackboy (which, Jesus, is getting a bit too hard) afterwards. I'll eventually get to Demon's Souls. Need to get through as much as I can before Disco Elysium comes out.
I don’t understand why developers try to squeeze games onto systems which can’t handle them. The Switch has this issue with most non-Nintendo AAA titles. If this was that big an issue, then it should have been developed for the PS5 only. Want to play it? Get a PS5 when you’re able to.
Considering the series took an absolute nosedive after the third game, and that the controls didn't really age all that well on the legacy collection, I'd love a return to form here.
As someone playing this for the first time, and for whom this kind of game is definitely somewhat outside their wheelhouse, I would have been glad to have taken it.
I haven't gotten to the "Toxic" level yet, but I don't think a video game level has ever put a bigger smile on my face than the "Uptown Funk" one. Some serious genius there.

Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Dated for 11th June
What's the point in commenting that you don't own a PS5?
Can't wait for this. Any release date is a good date.
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is Another £70 / $70 PS5 Game from Sony
Pony up, folks.
Re: Pumpkin Jack Brings Belated Halloween Festivities to PS4 This Month
I’ve got the Switch version. Definitely a solid homage that could reaaaally benefit from better load times.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 362
Glorious 4K 60 FPS God of War is getting some play, as is Destruction All Stars.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for February 2021?
Destruction All Stars was part of the package I purchased when I got my PS5, so I’m not super thrilled there, but I am glad to finally play it.
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for February and March 2021
Persona and Returnal are the obvious ones for me. May take a look at Yakuza and Werewolf.
Where’s Disco Elysium?

Re: Soapbox: 2021 Is the Year to Tackle Your Backlog, Because So Many Games Are Going to Be Delayed
Good thing we got 15 free PS4 games with our PS Plus membership.
Persona 5 Strikers, Disco Elysium, and Returnal are still coming very soon. I’m good to go.
Re: Returnal Gets Brand New PS5 Gameplay Trailer, Details on Combat
Looks like a day one purchase for me. Love third-person stuff. Love the visuals.
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Backwards Compatibility Has Kept Me Glued to My Next-Gen Console
The game I’ve spent the most hours on thus far is Persona 5. Thank you, PS Plus.

Re: PS Store January Sale Starts Tomorrow, Promises 'Huge Savings'
Right after I got my PS5, I missed out on the Kingdom Hearts trilogy being slashed from $99 to $29. Hoping to see that again.

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail
I feel like we all know what we got ourselves into. It’s a premium system. Prepare to pay premium prices for AAA games. Don’t see the issue.

Re: Team Asobi Has 'No Plans' for Astro's Playroom DLC or Sequel Right Now
Give me something twice as long and you may have the best 3D platformer of all time.
Re: Hands On: Why You Should Be Using PS5 Remote Play More
My son still hogs up the TV with the switch, so I’ll have to set this up.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite PS5 Launch Game?
I went with Astro’s Playroom, which only its short length stops it from being up there with the great platformer as of all time.
Sackboy would be there as well, but there seems to be a level advancement but not many folks are talking about.
Re: PS Store Black Friday Sale Has Awesome PS5, PS4 Deals
Is that really every Kingdom Hearts game for $29?
Re: Talking Point: What Free December 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
I’ll say if: Bugsmax is a bad game with cute characters.

@Max2574 Thanks, dad. What would I ever do without you. You enjoy games your way. I’ll enjoy them mine.

Re: Demon's Souls (PS5) - PlayStation's Best Ever Launch Game
This is my first time playing it, so everything is new to me. Considering I died for the first time about fifteen minutes in, I assume I’m in for it.
Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS5) - Lovely Launch Game Is LittleBigBrilliant
I very much like it. However...
1. If Astro’s Playroom was a bit longer, it’d honestly be in contention for greatest 3D platformer of all time. It’s hard to follow up.
2. I’m not a fan of the multiple paths I can’t backtrack and get to unless I restart the level.
3. The health system is a bit more annoying that it needs to be. Do games like this need health at all?
Otherwiss, yes, beautiful and fun.
