I have bought Like A Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 but only played Like A Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii so my vote goes to that.
I don't care what anyone says, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is a masterpiece. I bought it day one, played and platniumed it. Plus I copped the DLC The Dark Mask, which was a great expansion to the vanilla version.
It still hurts me, the studio with so much talent got shut down.
Where the ones trying to tell me Sony Playstation isnt full of incompetence? Another one cancelled! The entire higher ups at Sony Playstation are holding the wrong positions. They are overpayed and under deliver.
Once they hire smart people, I consider applying to fix that trash they have been producing.
I said it a thousand times before, Sony cannot support several hardware at once. Focus on one and one only. They make so many obvious mistakes, its crazy how much disconnection and incompetence holds job positions at Sony/Playstation. Give me 5 years at that company with full executive powers and Sony/Playstation would be 1000 times its current worth.
Of course, it does. Only an idiot would say otherwise. All gaming platform compete with each other, in one way or the other.
If one console manufacturer convinces a gamer to spend his/her time on its platform, he/she spends less time on any other. That alone is competing over consumers time.
@captainsandman yeah thats super weird hiring a lead designer just now. What have they been doing the last 2-3 years. I expected them to a have a game to come out this or, at latest, next Year.
I love the Welcome Hub. It makes it feels more social and connected and less isolated. Seeing what my friends playing. What their latest Trophies or Activity are. Having the News of following games right there for me to catch up on.
As a passionately Nintendo hater, I hate to admit it, but Nintendo was, once again, ahead of its time. Playing games on a stationary TV and then SWITCH to a mobile handheld at any point is the future.
Sony just now fully learning and embracing that while MS might have something similiar to it, is the absolute proof of it.
Animal Well was amazing. So is Nine Sols. Even though Im not done with it yet. Its an incredible Metroidvania. The Plucky Squire seemed good but lost me around 3 hours.
@twitchy_emu92 The sole reason the PS2 sold that well was because of the disastrous PS3 launch.
The PS2 sat at around 100 million units when the PS3 came out. Due the countless isssue of the PS3 ( 1 Year after the 360, the high price point, unstable network, No First Party Support, third party games ran much worse than on the 360 etc)
People, especially, in Europe and Asia kept buying PS2s. And were waiting for Sony to fix the PS3 problems. So in order for Sony to beat the PS2 sales with the PS5, they have to mess up the PS6 launch
Ive planned to play it on the PS5 Pro. Everything goes according to plan. I have to finish RoboCop Rogue City first. Three more days boys. Almost there.
One of the very best Metroidvenia Ive ever played.
I got it day one same with its DLC - The Dark Mask.
The creativity of them level der designs are simply one of the greatest level designs ever. I was constantly surprised by them. Im completely saddend for these news.
This years almost over!? Time flies. January feels like yesterday.
Well, not having FFVII Rebirth in the top ten IS insane to me, but hey each their own.
My top Games:
1. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth 2. Astro Bot 3. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown + The Dark Mask 4. Stellar Blade 5. Persona 3 Reload 6. Alan Wake 2 Night Springs 7. FFXVI The Rising Tide 8. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Still playing Silent Hill 2 and itll definitely be in my top 5
Backlog / Still to Buy Tekken 8 Banishers Ghosts of New Eden Dragons Dogma 2 Black Myth Wukong Flintlock The Siege of Dawn Metaphor: ReFantazio
I have finished The Last of Us Part 1, started and finished the DLC to Prince of Persia The Lost Crown Mask of Darkness after around 4 hours which took me two Sessions.
Now Im patiently waitng for Silent Hill 2. I might jump into a short game like Gris or Firewatch which been in my backlog for a long time for Silent Hill 2 just to bridge the time.
All that promises from Mark Cerny that it would take less time to develop, for the PS5 than for the PS4, was rubbish. I really wonder what all the in-house studios are doing. I used to be very bearish about Playstation 5 the last few months but Astro Bot completely cleansed my negativity about Playstation. An additional annoucement like that, would be neat. Surprise me Sony, surprise me.
I really enjoyed the Dredge content. I played, finished and platnuimed the game without tackling the Godzilla content and now 3 more content pieces at once. Im looking forward to go back to Dave the Diver.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?
According to Playstation, I'm 80% done with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and I think its excellent 9/10.
It looks and plays greatly on the Pro.
Re: Devolver Will Be 'Leaning Further into' Its Existing IPs as Best-Selling Games Revealed
I feel like Devolver Digital released so many other games that should be in their top ten. Like where is Fall Guys? Inscryption? Deaths Door?

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Performance on PC Has Not Been Amazing

Re: In the US, PS5 Is Selling Much Faster Than PS4 At a Higher Price
Thats the aftermath of the success of the Playstation 4.

Re: Ubisoft Marks One Year of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Despite Killing the Studio
I don't care what anyone says, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is a masterpiece. I bought it day one, played and platniumed it. Plus I copped the DLC The Dark Mask, which was a great expansion to the vanilla version.
It still hurts me, the studio with so much talent got shut down.
Re: Horizon's MMO Appears to Have Been Cancelled

I hope they go all out offering a Steelbook.
Re: Days Gone Dev Says It Still Plans to Create 'Cool Sh*t' for PS5 After Live Service Cancellation
Nobody important cares for Bend Studios.
But Bluepoint is a bummer.
All their work in the last decade was fantastic.
Bend should have been shut down after the embarrassment that was Days Gone
Re: Shuhei Yoshida on PSVR2: 'I'm Sorry'
@PuppetMaster Because they obviously only hire pure incompetence.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida on PSVR2: 'I'm Sorry'
I said it a thousand times before, Sony cannot support several hardware at once.

Re: Poll: Will the Switch 2 Compete with PS5?
Of course, it does. Only an idiot would say otherwise.

Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Enters Crunch Period, Hideo Kojima Questions How Much Longer He Can Do It For
Kind of crazy he even needs that much time to begin with, considering how fast Kojima Production was developing the first Death Stranding.
Re: Housemarque Recruits PlatinumGames Dev of 11 Years as Lead Designer on Next PS5 Game

Re: PS5's Awesome Welcome Hub Was Designed by a Small, Passionate Team

Awesome addition to the Playstation experience.

Re: Game of the Year: #10 - Persona 3 Reload

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
Sony is wasting its resources for that ungrafeful and console devaluing efforts.
Theres no way the PC ports are profitable anyways.
Fukk them PC gamers.
If they want games, they can ask Valve to make it for em.
Sony owns em nothing.
Re: State of Play Rumoured for This Month As Sony Looks Set to Skip PS Showcase in 2024
All that promises from Mark Cerny that it would take less time to develop, for the PS5 than for the PS4, was rubbish.
I really wonder what all the in-house studios are doing.
I used to be very bearish about Playstation 5 the last few months but Astro Bot completely cleansed my negativity about Playstation.
An additional annoucement like that, would be neat.
Surprise me Sony, surprise me.
