Some much needed catching up on my backlog is in my future. Hard to even call it a backlog since it's all recent games too.

That's awesome that Joker is being added, but why is the clip showing Mary Poppins flying around a neon laser light show?

I loved the first Revel Assault on PC as a kid. I never even knew they made a sequel, nonetheless ported it to console. I may check this out.

Played a bit of it yesterday. Surprisingly buggy unfortunately. Had to quit and restart three times and redo an objective during the first tutorial career mode level to get credit. But I love these management games and a high quality one will always be a day one purchase.

Finally some good food? I've been stuffed since February!!!

Stick of Truth and Fractured but Whole were sooooo good. This was an immediate pass for me after the first reveal trailer. Glad the writing and voice performance is still top notch though. That's what sets them apart from a lot of licensed games is where Matt and Trey are so heavy handed in the game itself

I'll pay for a 60fps patch at this point. Guess I'll wait for the PS5 pro until I replay the game with both DLCs.

@ShogunRok yup exactly not ideal. Also I'm confused why they gave us an option to create 5 characters in the demo when we can only have 1. So this possibility never even crossed my mind

Only a couple hours in but I'm already regretting my purchase. When I heard only one save slot I assumed that was per character to avoid save scumming. I didn't realize you couldn't make alt characters! That's absurd. Games like this I typically end up making all 4 classes before I ever even finish the game with 1. I guess I can start one on another profile, but that's just tedious and unnecessary.

The winds been howling to get me to play the first game for quite a while. One of these days I should give it a shot

@Peelmynaner Its a point and click styled adventure game. Has an old film noir setting, with a buddy cop setup, but the main gimmick is all the characters are animals.

Highly recommend Chicken Police. One of the few instances of trying a game ive never even heard of on the service and I absolutely clucking loved it. Worth the play, and hopefully we get the sequel and the Coffee Talk style spinoff game to consoles as well.

The first movie to come out with 55 pieces of DLC. I'll wait until Vampires are added to the movie as usual.

Well deserved. I love seeing success stories like this for solo devs.

If only they allowed War Gods Zeus of Child in the bracket. A shame that masterpiece never made it on PlayStation.

Love this game. My GOTY last year. Excited to replay on PS5 and go for the practically impossible platinum.

Worst month of losing games in PS Plus/Now's history.

I loved the first Helldivers and was very skeptical about the switch to 3rd person. Honestly didn't think it would perform well at all. Boy was I wrong.

Been a long time since I've played a tennis game, and I would be excited. But I'm so cynical with sports/gambling simulators now a days. Even though the micro transactions already seem to be there, hopefully it'll be a couple iterations before the reach their final form with gambling influencers opening card packs on stream and faking surprise as they get their double elite legendary platinum Richard Krajicek card.

Year of the JRPG continues.

Absolutely outstanding game that expands and improves on its predecessor in every way. With all due respect to Elden Ring and BG3 (not really my genres of choice), this is my game of the generation so far.

Phenomenal developer, but I'm concerned about the commercial success of this game. A full priced strategy RPG releasing at the time of a lot of heavy hitters is going to unfortunately get it overshadowed. I'll be buying it, but not sure when that will be just yet.

Still mind boggling to me the output from Falcom. Feels like it takes longer to simply play one of their games than it takes them to develop one from scratch.

My condolences to the half dozen or so people who actually buy games on Xbox.

I'm very excited to play this after rebirth. Will probably be bouncing between this and HiFi Rush for quite a while.

Looks like I'll be taking that Friday off for a nice 4 day weekend here in the states.

In my opinion AC is only as good as it's setting. I've never found the gameplay or story to be compelling in AC games, but you better believed I loved exploring ancient Egypt and Greece, but found exploring swamplands of England quite boring in Valhalla. Hopefully Japan setting will be great to explore.

Yet sports games where you gamble with actual money get to maintain their rating for kids.

Game looks phenomenal. Leaving the screen still I can barely tell the difference between fidelity and performance (on my LG OLED). But once you start moving the camera I don't understand how 30fps is playable. It's soooo choppy. Performance all the way and game still looks gorgeous.

Can't be tempted as I have 200 hours of Rebirth in my future.....oooh Chrono Cross under $10

@themightyant lol I agree in the sense that they need a more broad category. Most years don't have 5 fighting games period, non the less worthy of an award nomination. Hopefully we see more beat em ups like streets of rage and sifu.

@RBRTMNZ assuming it's a joke as the game awards had it nominated for best fighting game that year.

Similar to Arkham Knight having a large jump in player count after Suicide Squad. Good games are timeless in a way. Just need a failed live service AAAA game to remind us of that at times.

I played quite a bit of this on gamepass when it released but fell off in the 2nd act. Very unique experience and I do plan on playing (and hopefully sticking with it) this after Rebirth at some point.

I bought the first DLC but haven't played it yet. Honestly I'm now probably waiting for the PS5 Pro and hoping the game runs at a stable frame rate on the new hardware before I do my FFM run with the DLC

Beyond disappointed. The lack of support for not just new games, but not even bothering to port over Astrobot, blood and truth, Wipeout etc is truly unforgivable. Bought a Quest 3 at launch while my psvr 2 collects dust.

@OmegaStriver sounds like we just have a vastly different taste in games...and that's just fine

Will be picking this and Hi Fi rush up for sure at launch. Phenomenal games.

Woooo! My game of the year last year. Couldn't be more excited to get this on team blue.

@mariomaster96 they always announced the staggered release schedule of the demo, and the performance mode patch is to assure players that the demo was on a far earlier build. For those old enough this is nothing compared to the Episode Duscae demo for FF15 that the team spent months patching instead of making the actual game.

Ouch this is a rough month of losing games. Tchia and Haven I both really wanted to play even a few others I wanted to try out. Unfortunately not going to happen as I'm already going to struggle finishing Infinite Wealth before Rebirth.

@SoulChimera they have already fixed the trophy issue apparently. It was announced on Twitter a few weeks ago. However they are waiting on a larger update to patch it in. Hoping this is the one.

As for the challenge modes I think I did 2 time ones and 3 water ones. The water ones are far easier, but need to be very meticulous. Quickly tap R2 with a swipe of the thumb stick is the move to use. Can easily get gold with less than half the water needed.

Love the free DLCs to this game. I'm curious if this is the update they are patching the trophies with as well. Would be nice to finally be able to get my platinum on this game I finished almost 2 months ago.

@breakneck well the good thing with uncapped is on a PS5 pro or ps6 it should run at 60fps (unlike games like Bloodborne that are capped at 30fps). Either way stable 60fps is far better visually than 4k unstable 30ish.

No 60fps no $60....er $70. Doesn't have the same ring to it anymore.

@Loamy did they call Calisto Protocol a AAAA game too? Only other example I know of is the Xbox studio The Initiative were called a AAAA studio (who are making the Perfect Dark remake)

Such a shame for the world's first AAAA game.

If every screen is an Xbox, they really need to invest on more cloud servers. Feels like anytime I try to boot up a game on x cloud there's a 15 minute wait now.

I still think Embracer is a giant money laundering scheme. In no way was any of this investment we've heard of over the past several years going to be financially viable.

If this isn't at least VR 2 compatible the PSVR2 is truly dead...if it isn't already.
