That's cool. To each their own.

Code Veronica is the only one that needs to be remade (maybe 0, though it's not a necessity). If it's not that, I don't want to hear about more remakes. Focus on RE 9 and finally make Revelations 3.

@Jireland92
Not really much to censor but there could be some subtle tweaks. We'll see. Sony is a bit inconsistent with the stuff it does and doesn't allow. There's some stuff in Like a Dragon Gaiden that I wouldn't expect current Sony to allow on its console.

PS5 - Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Switch - Super Mario RPG

Yakuza 0 is always a game I recommend to people, fan of the series or not. A legit top 10 all-time, imo.

@Mephisto2869
Not a big fan of the game library. The exclusives in particular haven't clicked with me like in the past.

A few years into the generation, I'm not liking the PS5 as much as I had hoped but even with as disappointed as I am in the console and how critical I can be of Sony at times, only an idiot would say the PS5's success is luck. In the home console space, Sony's biggest 'failure' sold over 85 million units. All other companies that have ever made consoles wish they could've 'failed' like that.

A lot of people on social media were singing the game's praises so I'm not surprised it had Nacon's best ever launch. I was tempted to get it myself but knew it would take a backseat to Like a Dragon Gaiden and then Super Mario RPG so I'm waiting for a sale.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Tekken 8 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are all day ones for me.

PS5 - Assassin's Creed Mirage, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Switch - Super Mario RPG remake

It's crazy that it's been 10 years already, still feels like yesterday when I picked up Killzone Shadow Fall, Assassin's Creed IV and Injustice Ultimate Edition along with my PS4 and set it up for a long night of gaming. Not my favorite PlayStation console but a close third behind 2 and 1 in that order. It was a slow burn but when Ratchet & Clank hit in 2016 it was the start of a nice run until the end of the generation.

My favorite games:
1. Resident Evil 2 remake
2. Yakuza 0
3. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
4. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
5. Devil May Cry 5
6. Streets of Rage 4
7. God of War
8. Spider-Man
9. Ratchet & Clank
10. Gravity Rush 2
11. inFamous: Second Son
12. Tekken 7
13. Yakuza 6
14. Horizon Zero Dawn
15. Ghost of Tsushima
16. Resident Evil Revelations 2
17. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
18. Onee Chanbara Origin
19. Crash Bandicoot 4
20. Soul Calibur 6

When I score games I have in my collection, I just go off fun factor and for me, this one has been a 10/10. It's everything I love about the Like a Dragon series.

Not a terrible start for Like a Dragon Gaiden all things considered. Will be interested to see where the final number falls.

PS5 - Assassin's Creed: Mirage, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Switch - Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Poor casting decision by Sega but I play these games with the Japanese voices and English subtitles anyway.

Yup. Started it up as soon as I got home from work. Right from the rip, I can tell this game is going to be pretty damn good, but that's not a surprise, this is series is one of the best.

Still annoyed there's no physical version but since this is clearly considered more of a side story and Sega is distributing LaD: Infinite Wealth on disc in the West when it launches next year, I decided to go ahead and pre-order this. I've liked every game in the series and have a few of them among my all-time favorites, expecting good stuff once again.

@Nepp67
I'd trust Capcom more than Konami/Bloober but that's more indictment on the other two than anything else. Capcom does a good job with remakes of its own IPs (even if RE 3 was a bit lazy and rushed) but I wouldn't want to see it bother with other company's games.

Good call. I'd rather they not bring the game over than censor it to hell to get it on PS5.

@Nepp67
That's the way to go. It seems like the only companies that 'get it' with remakes/remasters these days are Nintendo and Capcom.

Basically 'we saw the reaction and told the devs to take this part out of the game.' The more I learn about this remake, the less I wish it was happening, especially with 'progressive' Western devs, who have zero respect for Japanese games, at the helm.

PS5 - Assassin's Creed Mirage

Switch - Super Mario Bros. Wonder, One Night Burlesque

PS5 - Assassin's Creed Mirage, Spider-Man 2

Switch - Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Xbox Series X - Sonic Superstars

Already played MGS 4 and Peace Walker on PS3 and PSP but would love to buy them again for PS5 with updated graphics and, possibly, better controls. Those two upgrades with all other content intact, those ports would be sure day-one buys from me.

Not shocking at all.

PS5 - Assassin's Creed Mirage, Spider-Man 2

Switch - Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Xbox Series X - Sonic Superstars

Just got my copy along with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Installing the game now. Pretty soon, get to find out for myself if it lives up to the hype. I'm a big fan of 1 and Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

All the acquisitions MS has made since 2018 and the standings are the same. PlayStation and Nintendo vying for the top spot, Xbox in third and I don't even dislike Xbox, in fact I've gamed on Series X about the same as PS5 just calling it as I see it. Sony probably is under some pressure to make a purchase, but I'd rather not see it happen. Bad enough MS plucked Bethesda and Activision.

One of the lower review scores, going by what I've seen on Metacritic. It's never about the number though, I read the reviews here, NL and PX because they're generally fair and give me an idea what to expect. That said, I want to go into this game with as few spoilers as possible so I won't be reading this review now and instead will come back after I complete my first playthrough of Spider-Man 2.

PS5 - Assassin's Creed: Mirage

Xbox Series X - Starfield, Forza Motorsport

@LightningLeader
Completely agree. Whenever I hear remake or, especially, reboot, I get concerned. Saints Row is a prime example of how to do things wrong.

@HeeHo
Nothing deep about this game or the characters at all. It's just good, over the top fun with some fan service, and nobody should have a problem with that. Somebody doesn't like it? There's 1 billion other games to play.

Picking it up on Xbox Series X. Reviews are mixed, but they were also mixed for Generations back in 2011 and that's one of my favorite Sonic games ever.

For me it's a 9. Love the return to the old AC gameplay. Story was meh in parts but overall I liked it. Not the best graphics but the gameplay offset that. For a budget release, really well done. Ubisoft is one of the few companies that still does these so hopefully it'll be rewarded with good sales numbers and convince the company to try another AC like this in the future.

Not really surprised by the top 3. Hopefully the final sales tally for Assassin's Creed: Mirage will be enough that Ubisoft considers another lower budget, 'classic' style AC game in the future, between the more RPG focused efforts.

@RobynAlecksys
Don't worry about how I choose to spend my money or consume products.

Not my kind of game but I can appreciate the work that was clearly put into it and would've liked to see it outsell those sports games.

Love Spider-Man on PS4 (Platinumed it), and I actually had even more fun with Spider-Man: Miles Morales which was the PS5 game I got on launch day. Definitely hyped for this. After the Batman universe, Spider-Man is a very close second on my list of favorite superhero IP.

@Jammsbro
It plays like the original games. If you were looking for something similar to Origins, you'll likely be disappointed. I like the old style better so I'm happy with the change.

Just picked my pre-order of the Deluxe Edition, waiting for it to install. I've played most of the AC games with the exception of Bloodlines, the DS game and the smaller releases on mobile devices. This is the most I've looked forward to a new entry in a while though. As much as I like Origin, Odyssey and Valhalla, I missed the old gameplay of 1-Syndicate and I'm happy to have it back, never grew tired of that formula.

This sounds like exactly what I wanted out of this game. I like Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla but miss the 'classic' Assassin's Creed style. Picking up my pre-order soon. Can't wait to play.

Hyped for Tekken 8 (probably my most anticipated game right now) and the Tales of Arise DLC. Wish Namco would bring Ridge Racer back in a sensible way. Its PlayStation legacy can't end with whatever that garbage on Vita was.

Cool, looking forward to it.

Daymare 1994: Sandcastle. Downloading it now, seems like a good throwback to survival/horror games from the 90s, sans the tank controls that sucked even back then.

Was expecting a bit of a higher score but MK X disappointed me a little and I didn't care for 11 at all so I'm not totally shocked. I've bought almost every MK game at some point, however, so will probably get this after it's re-released in a 'Komplete' edition and is a little cheaper.

@Andee
Awesome. Hoping there's a physical release for this collection but if not, still a buy.

@Andee
Never played those other games. But I do remember the little bit I played one TR 1. I didn't love the controls but they were playable. Kind of like classic Resident Evil. To be honest, I actually despised RE's tank controls but that's how the game was, so I adapted. I'm sure I'll adapt to the controls in these games.

@Andee
I never played much of any of these games. A little bit of 1, but none of 2 or 3. I was an N64 guy and while a lot of my friends had PS1, we'd play mostly Resident Evil or Twisted Metal, Metal Gear Solid. Didn't get into Tomb Raider until Legend on Xbox 360, that's the main reason I'm interested in these remasters. Want to give them a fair play and see why they were so loved.

Day one buy, for sure.

Not sure I'm going to love the voice acting, if the trailer is anything to go by, but still getting this DLC, any reason to revisit RE 4 remake is a good one.
