I’ve never played a GTA game, but I might start with 6. I’m just assuming the story isn’t connected to previous entries in any meaningful way… Looking forward to the trailer anyway
I wish the stick of truth was available in the Japan PS store. I don’t like our chances of getting this one either
*edit: I just saw that Snow Day is available to add to wishlist so I guess we will get it 😆
I’m gonna finish up Cat Quest then maybe start Dead Cells. Eyeing TLOU part 1 in the Black Friday sale so maybe that instead. I’ve never played or watched the series
@freddquadros I finished it yesterday, too. I think I’ll skip the DLCs for now. Maybe I’ll come back to them later. I liked the atmosphere and the ending was pretty neat, too. Will probably pick up AW2 when it eventually goes on sale
I’m playing Alan Wake remastered (just starting episode 5). I might finish it this weekend. I’m not enjoying it as much as I thought I might. It’s pretty challenging for me even on easy difficulty. 😅 I’m also playing Yakuza Like a Dragon. It’s the first time for me playing any in the series and it’s been pretty fun (currently just started chapter 6)
I live in Japan and while I’m disappointed I’m not surprised. At least it’s getting released at all. Can’t say the same for The Callisto Protocol, Dead Space, Dead Island and many more that never got released here at all because of the ratings board. Still waiting to see if Mortal Kombat 1 will get a release too
I’m currently playing the first one and tbh not enjoying it a lot. On the easiest difficulty it’s hard for me and frustrating at times. But with all the hype for 2 I want to push through it and try 2 out sometime. How much better is 2 than 1?
I only really started getting into gaming this year. I bought a ps5 and played GoT with ps plus and was blown away. Probably my favorite game so far. I hope the movie can capture the same feeling from playing the game. I don’t really watch movies though. I’d rather just play a sequel to the game 😅
@DonkeyFantasy “when you die to a boss it will mostly spawn you right outside their area“ I think you sold me on the game because the most frustrating thing for me in Demon’s Souls was repeating the the run up to one of the last bosses 😆
Just a few hours ago I finished my first souls game - Demon’s Souls remake. I really liked it. Elden Ring 2 would be nice. I probably have just enough time to start and finish ER1 before 2 releases 😂
Going to try to finish Demon’s Souls, but having trouble with the last (?) boss. If I can finish that, I’ll start Yakuza: Like a Dragon for something completely different
Only 7 games coming to psplus extra in Japan. We miss out on Disco Elysium which was the game I was most looking forward to playing. I’m kinda mad and thinking of just canceling
Digital Edition: ¥49,478 ($334) ➡️ ¥58,980 ($404) I’m glad I bought my digital edition when I did. Controllers and other accessories also going up in price here later this month
My region got Tropico 5 instead of Callisto Protocol which I’m interested in trying. Otherwise Weird West could also be worth checking out. Fairly happy
I’m trying out Disney Speedstorm. I played a little last night and had fun. Also will continue Ghostwire Tokyo. I love this game. Not really invested in the story, I just like exploring the city and doing side missions
I played VII remake thinking it was the whole story so I was super confused at the end 😂 Looking forward to Rebirth so I can hopefully clear up some things. Or maybe it just gets more confusing…

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Still Looks Fantastic on PS5, March 2024 Release Date Confirmed
It looks amazing. I have the first game in my backlog, but I don’t think I’ll play it - I’ll just jump into the new one
Re: Massive PS Store Sale Makes 2,800+ PS5, PS4 Games Cheaper Than Ever
I bought Going Under and Wizard of Legend, but I probably won’t get around to playing them in a long while. My backlog is huge!
Re: 11 PS5, PS4 Games Are Leaving PS Plus Extra in December 2023
I’m about half-way through Like a Dragon. I better get a wiggle on
Re: South Park: Snow Day! Still Not an RPG in Four Player Co-op Gameplay
I wish the stick of truth was available in the Japan PS store. I don’t like our chances of getting this one either

Re: A Plague Tale Dev Signs Up for 'Another Exciting Project'
I was just thinking about picking up Innocence in the Black Friday sale. From the trailers both games look great

Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 March 2024 Release Date Leaked
This might be my first ever day 1 buy. Looks amazing!
Re: PS Plus Extra Game Teardown Is Out Now on PS5
I still don’t see it in the Japanese PS store. I wonder if we’ll miss out on this one…
Re: 14 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week
3 of these not available in Japan. Waiting to see if they put in some different games this time
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 502

Will probably pick up AW2 when it eventually goes on sale
Re: Video: PS Portal Unboxing Gives Us Our First Look at Sony Handheld
@Kelrics90 The far less functionality is reflected in the price difference between the two (although I still think portal is a little overpriced)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 502
@freddquadros Ooo forgot about DLCs 😂 I’ll get through it! I have a couple of other little gripes, but there are things I like about the game, too

I’m currently playing the first one and tbh not enjoying it a lot. On the easiest difficulty it’s hard for me and frustrating at times. But with all the hype for 2 I want to push through it and try 2 out sometime. How much better is 2 than 1?
Re: Another Baldur's Gate 3 Patch, Another 1000+ Fixes on PS5
Maybe when it finally comes out here in Japan it’ll be perfectly patched. Looking forward to playing
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Movie Making Progress as Director Heaps Praise on the Game
I only really started getting into gaming this year. I bought a ps5 and played GoT with ps plus and was blown away. Probably my favorite game so far. I hope the movie can capture the same feeling from playing the game. I don’t really watch movies though. I’d rather just play a sequel to the game 😅
Re: Elden Ring, Dark Souls Dev FromSoftware Beefing Up for Multiple New PS5 Games
@DonkeyFantasy “when you die to a boss it will mostly spawn you right outside their area“ I think you sold me on the game because the most frustrating thing for me in Demon’s Souls was repeating the the run up to one of the last bosses 😆

Re: What the **** Is This Insane Animal Crossing-Style Game in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
I’m hyped for this game and I haven’t even played any of the series! It just looks so fun. I’m gonna start 7 when I’m done with my current game
Re: PS Store Slashes 500+ PS5, PS4 Game Prices for Halloween
I bought Resident Evil 2 Z version and Lost in Random (super cheap). Nice sale! I’ve never played a RE game before
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2023?
I’m still salty because my region didn’t get Disco Elysium (in fact 4 less games) so I downgraded to essential.
Re: 15 PS5, PS4 Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium in October 2023 Update
Only 7 games coming to psplus extra in Japan. We miss out on Disco Elysium which was the game I was most looking forward to playing. I’m kinda mad and thinking of just canceling
Re: Prescient RPG Long Gone Days Tackles the Horrors of Modern War on PS5, PS4
Looks heavy. I’m not sure my heart could handle it
Re: PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA
Big increase in Japan, too.
(From genki_jp on X)
I’m glad I bought my digital edition when I did.
Controllers and other accessories also going up in price here later this month
Re: Lords of the Fallen PS5 Trailer Will Make a Blasphemer of You Yet
Holy smokes that looks nice
Re: Sandbox RPG Fans Will Definitely Want to Keep an Eye on My Time at Sandrock
I just saw My Time At Portia is part of the extra subscription so added it to my library. I’ll give that a go first
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra Games for October Leaked Early
Yes please let Disco Elysium be true. Dead Island was never released in my country so hopefully they have a good replacement for that
Re: Bloodborne-Inspired Metroidvania The Last Faith Nails Down 15th November Release Date on PS5, PS4
Thanks for reminding me that I still have Blasphemous in the backlog. This looks good, too
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2023?
My region got Tropico 5 instead of Callisto Protocol which I’m interested in trying. Otherwise Weird West could also be worth checking out. Fairly happy
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 496
I’m trying out Disney Speedstorm. I played a little last night and had fun. Also will continue Ghostwire Tokyo. I love this game. Not really invested in the story, I just like exploring the city and doing side missions
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
@Kyushutrail but apparently pre-orders have sold out at all online retailers in Japan so I guess I’m wrong. I’d like one, but no way at that price
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
Amazon Japan has it listed at ¥37,980 which is exactly the price of an OLED switch. Can’t see it doing very well here
Re: Disney Speedstorm Now Offering Free Magic Carpet Rides on PS5, PS4
Yeah I’m gonna give it a go tonight! I might even check out a beginners tips video on YouTube before I play 😆
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2023 Announced
So instead of The Callisto Protocol, Japan is getting Tropico 5. A little disappointing but better than nothing
Re: Jim Ryan Retires as PlayStation Boss in March 2024
I’d like to apply for the position. I have about 10 months experience playing video games. Thank you for your consideration
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2023 Announced
Waiting for a Japanese announcement because we don’t have The Callisto Protocol. I hope they have a replacement for it
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Games for October Leaked
@Duck_Farmer Still a chance it’s the third game announced. Fingers crossed for me
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Games for October Leaked
Noooo! I live in Japan where Callisto Protocol has never released. Will we get one less game again??
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has a Playable Sephiroth
I played VII remake thinking it was the whole story so I was super confused at the end 😂
Looking forward to Rebirth so I can hopefully clear up some things. Or maybe it just gets more confusing…
Re: 20 More PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
I downloaded 5 games this morning. Great month!
Re: PSN Is Apparently Causing Baldur's Gate 3 Crashes on PS5
The game hasn't even released yet here in Japan. Hopefully when it finally does it’s all patched up with no problems
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 494
Pretty close to finishing Sea of Stars. Also going to play Ghostwire Tokyo I think
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for September 2023?
Most excited for Baby Steps. That looks fun
Re: 20 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week
Wow quite a few games I want to play from this lot!
Re: Rumour: Six PS Plus Extra Games Leaked Ahead of September Announcement
Dying to play 13 Sentinels. Please please please be available for the Japan ps plus members too
Re: Eternights (PS5) - A Surprisingly Charming Apocalyptic Dating Sim
Straight to the wishlist
Re: Roblox Finally Comes to PS5, PS4 This October
I’ve heard of it but never played or even seen it. I wonder what the trophy list will be like
