I recently got back into Monster Hunter World, it's a great game that still looks incredible, I just wish the multiplayer was as simple as previous entries.
I'm also playing Zelda Ocarina of Time on the Gamecube, which I am ashamed to say I've never completed.
This is one of the few gaming websites left in which I find the reviews are actually worth reading. Please continue to keep the personality in all your write-ups. The community here is pretty good too.
@The_Pixel_King I recommend experimenting with builds and trying out the weapons and spells you find along the way. All the classes are viable so just pick what you think is cool. Elden Ring has more customization options than any other Souls game, there are "better" weapons, like all action-RPG's, but it's more fun to figure it out yourself in my opinion.
I will say that the health stat (Vigor) is very important, as enemies hit like a truck in this game.
I kind of lost interest with it, but I'll definitely complete it one day. I disagree with those who consider it From Software's best work, but its yet another good game in their catalogue.
@BranJ0 Sounds a lot like me. I checked PSNprofiles and the only game I played in 2022 that actually came out in 2022 was Elden Ring. Played a lot of PS3 and Vita this year alongside some older PS4 games
I love how this deal has Playstation claiming their games can't compete with Call of Duty while Xbox are admitting their games aren't as good as Sony's, therefore they need Call of Duty.
Just a terrible look for both sides who are so quick to dismiss their own games when Call of Duty is at stake lol
My main issue with The Witcher 3 was the combat. I bought the Complete Edition with the cool vampire expansion but I could never muster up the enthusiasm to actually reach any of it.
I'll definitely give it another go one day with this update
@dark_knightmare2 I hate this logic. It's not a horrible review just because you don't agree with it. Why do people always say "it's mostly getting 'X' scores elsewhere"? That's the whole point of reviews, different opinions.
I remember being somewhat hopeful that Nintendo would inject some quality into the predatory wasteland that is mobile games. They didn't. I expect this will be the same. Mobile is a lost cause
These are two franchises I'd definitely like to see return in some way so I'll keep an eye on this. I won't be backing it as I've seen too many kickstarter disasters but I'll buy them if they actually release.
It was terrible, as was the Welcome to Raccoon city movie. What a sad state it is that the first Resident Evil movie is still the best one. Such a low bar for Resident Evil adaptations yet they still keep messing it up
@commentlife I assume some more exciting debate about game pass. Personally I love coming to a Playstation centric website to hear about game pass all the time /s
PSP is still excellent to this day, I bought a lot of PSP games digitally on Vita and really enjoyed them
I'd add...
Tekken 5 and 6 (These are really great)
The Legend of Heroes
Ys 7 - Ys Oath of Felghana
Tactics Ogre Let us Cling Together
Persona 2
Power Stone Collection
Lunar Silver Star Harmony
Breath of Fire 3
Corpse Party
Mana Khemia
Spectrol Souls
Riviera
@Deoxyr1bose Very true. Reminds me of all the campaigning and petition signings we had to do to get half decent Vita games localized back in the day. "Buy this garbage Digimon game and we might localize Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, the good one!" Nah mate 👎
I got a bit bored of Elden Ring. Unpopular opinion maybe, but I think the open-world adds nothing besides more travel time between the levels. It's still a good game though because the core combat is solid and there is an insane amount of possible builds.
Bloodborne is more focused and I think the areas and bosses were a lot more memorable. Overall I think Bloodborne is easily the better game and arguably still From Software's best

The Soul Sacrifice games were some of the most fun I had on Vita, played them for hundreds of hours. Soul Sacrifice Delta in particular has a criminally underrated art style and soundtrack. Freedom Wars was pretty solid too. RIP
Insomniac are on fire these days, definitely one of the best developers out there right now. If they keep up the quality like they have been doing, there's no reason to think this or Wolverine will be anything less than great.
A more interesting story is Activision removing their logo from Call of Duty Vanguard trailers in an attempt to distance their ***** company from their products
@BloodNinja Sorry to hear that man hope you get well soon. Treat yourself to a cool ninja game while you self-isolate.
@OorWullie what game was that? Not to be a cliche Sony fanboy on Pushsquare but they do seem very generous with their scores for the most part on Nintendolife.

Re: Round Up: Forspoken's Divided Reviews Make for Some Rough Reading
I feel like most people expected this. The game has some really cool looking enemies but I just can't get over the dialogue, so I'll probably skip it
Re: Monster Hunter Rise (PS5) - A Fantastic Port of the Series' Best Outing
Excited for this but going to hold off on the hopes of a Game + Sunbreak expansion physical copy.
Does anyone know if it's 60fps on PS4? Should be possible seeing as it's a Switch game but the fact I can't find any confirmation is a bit worrying
Re: Deathverse: Let It Die Going Offline to Be Redeveloped
I actively follow video game news and I've never even heard of this game

Re: Site News: The Results Are In for Push Square Community's Screenshot Competition
"Stillness" is awesome, looks like a movie, and "The Chains of Fate" looks like official promo material. They're all really good though

Re: Rumour: Monster Hunter Rise on PS5 to Be Revealed and Released Soon
Shame its not on PS4 too, I imagine that could probably run it at 60fps also, seeing as its a Switch game.
Re: PS Plus Is Losing to Xbox Game Pass, And Sony Fears Call of Duty Would Make It Worse
@Voltan I agree its really boring at this point. I also have zero interest in Call of Duty

@dark_knightmare2 Fair enough, I might have come across a bit aggressive in my comment which wasn't my intention. Glad you're enjoying it

Anyone else remember Project Phoenix?

Re: Sony 'Vastly Overpaid' in 'Desperation' for Bungie, Says Outspoken Analyst Michael Pachter

Yeah but they bought them BEFORE Apex Legends. How much was EPIC valued at before Fortnite?
