Well here we go with another excellent WAYP. Been an interesting week around here. Weekends been mostly busy with work tho I did beat Little Kitty Big City. Also got to take Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance for a ride as well. Excellent games both of those. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend. Gotta keep working at that game if I want to beat it by my deadline of July 21st a fitting full moon. Can’t wait to beat it and immediately throw myself hard into the Canon of Vengeance for SMTV:V. Think I’ll pick up the expansion pass for that game and a preorder of Visions of Mana while I’m at it. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Paper Mario, more P3R and some Guilty Gear Strive Slayer sets with a friend. Maybe some Stellar Blade and going back to FFXIV for the Yokai Watch event. Oh and giving Monster Hunter Stories on the switch a try on my day off. Been really really excited for that one. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Go Go Loser Ranger, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura of course. Loser Ranger specifically is superb honestly. Might splash some cash and get the last 4 manga volumes of the authors previous work The Quintessential Quintuplets. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio. And yet we wouldn’t be done without a incredible huge lovely shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their wonderful streams please give them a look. Here’s hoping we get ourselves a Nintendo Direct this week to go Gaga over. As always yall stay safe, be incredible to each other. Have an excellent weekend and of course Happy Gaming. Oh and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there
Well here we go again with a special birthday WAYP. Yep that’s right it just so happens June 8 is my birthday 🥳. It was a pretty great one won’t lie. Got to play some AI The Somnium Files Nirvana Initiative and the Alan Wake 2 DLC Night Springs. Night Springs is particularly excellent and makes me wanna platinum that game. Also saw Furiosa. Excellent movie and great times with friends. My best friend also got me the rest of Spy X Family so now I proudly own it all. Enjoyed Summer Game Fest and am super looking forward to the Xbox Games Showcase. Thanks to SGF that rounds out the rest of my birthday purchases as I got the SF6 Year 2 Character Pass because I need that Terry and Mai, Destiny 2 The Witch Queen and preorders on SMTV Vengeance and Concord. And in total from other family I also have copies of Monster Hunter Stories, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble and Trails Through Daybreak. All for all an excellent time. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking a nice meaty session of Persona 3 Reload after work. No switch sadly. As for the rest of the week I’m thinking a rotation of games like Paper Mario and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. More progress on Nayuta and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. I actually just resubbed to FFXIV for Dawntrail so I think I wanna knock out the Endwalker Pandemonium raids before that too. And I also kinda definitely have decided I wanna really focus on and learn Unicorn Overlord and beat it this year. It’s a really neat game. Otherwise it’s probably just more of the other games I listed. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Delicious in Dungeon, Urusei Yatsura and Go Go Loser Ranger. That last one is exceedingly awesome. Oh and special shoutout to Shameless again. Here in Season 10 they really managed to make me feel super sad with the leaving of Fiona from the show. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind and Nextlander. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a big fantastic awesome shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their amazing streams please give them a look. Again it’s been a great birthday weekend and I’m excited for all the game reveals at Xbox and this months Nintendo Direct. As always yall stay safe and be good to each other. Have a awesome rest of your weekend and week and Happy Gaming.
Well this is a bit of a late WAYP this week but you gotta forgive me it’s what occurs when you gotta deal with the state of Maryland. Yes I’m officially back home and done with vacation. That’s where I wanna start actually as I just feel really sentimental. Got a lot of cool stuff that happened over the vacation. Beat loads of games like Another Code and Princess Peach and the FFXVI DLC. Got to start cool new ones like Paper Mario. Stuff like experiencing Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 in the midst of a brutal sunburn just absolutely destroying me making me feel like I was in the chapter will be memories for years. Getting into X-men or seeing King and Queen of the Ring equally as awesome. But really yall the thing that was the best was quality time with my stepdad on the beach. The most beautiful beach you could ever imagine. The most delicious dinners you’ve ever had. The most relaxing times you could ever imagine. I guess I’m saying all this to encourage all of yall to take a step back from games sometimes and enjoy a beautiful thing like a beach. Anyway onto the games like these things are meant for ahaha. Weekend was chill with just some Nayuta before Trails Through Daybreak and yet some more Persona 3 Reload before Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Honestly in between going back to work this week I’m thinking this weeks gonna be kinda chill with games. Just some Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Some Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. Some AI:Nirvana Initiative. Some Stellar Blade. Some Sand Land. Some Star Ocean 2. Next big game I’m working on is gonna be Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and I wanna get that done before the launch of FFXIV: Dawntrail at the end of this month. Only other real plans is Furiosa on my birthday on Saturday. Oh and Summer Game Fest on Friday too ahaha. Got these excellent Japan only Monster Hunter Stories amiibos too they’re absolutely beautiful. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura of course. Simply excellent shows that always make me smile. Podcasts of this week gotta go to the usuals of Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind and Cultaholic Wrestling. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a big amazing shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch,tv/akibread and their superb streams please give them a watch. As we head into the Summer Game Fest streams by all these different companies I gotta admit I’m pretty dang excited. Oh and Happy Pride to all. But as always yall stay safe, be kind to each other, have a excellent week and weekend and Happy Gaming.
Alrighty here we go with another wonderful edition of WAYP. Yet again from the beautiful Ocracoke Island of the Outer Banks. Been a great first week of vacation with loads of excellent beach days and some excellent gaming. Got super sunburned already hahaha. Was able to beat Another Code and Princess Peach Showtime. As well as starting Endless Ocean and Little Kitty and let me tell you all of those games are highly recommended and absolutely excellent. Of course outside of the beach the highlight of this week has to have been King and Queen of the Ring. Absolutely excellent PLE and hey who wouldn’t like to see Logan Paul get his butt kicked cheater that he is. Big congrats to Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan and Randy Orten and Lyra Valkyria on this one they did excellent. As for the rest of the weekend I beat Trails Into Reverie last night and I’m thinking of doing the little post game tonight and getting the connecting line between it and Daybreak. And probably some Persona 3 Reload. As for the rest of the week I’m thinking of keeping it nice and simple. Start Paper Mario and Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life on Switch and Sand Land on PS5. And otherwise just beat things like Side Order for Splatoon 3 and reinstall and work on games like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Rise of The Ronin. Stellar Blade too I’m absolutely loving it. In terms of anime this weel ima keep it nice and simple and give love to Kaiju No.8, Demon Slayer, Urusei Yatsura, Delicious In Dungeon, and Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio. All simply excellent. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Fire Escape and Second Wind. Definitely think I’m gonna try to knock out the like 8 hour long GOTY episodes of Into The Aether, Tetracast, and Fire Escape. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a special shoutout to my dear awesome friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their awesome streams. As always yall stay safe and be good to each other. Have a awesome weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
Think it could be announced next Tuesday for Thursday of that week or announced next week for the week right after before SGF. Dunno who remembers this but 2 years ago was like the best State of Play ever where they had SF6 and FFXVI and all of that and it more or less led directly into SGF that weekend.
Well here we are with another jam packed edition of WAYP. This week conducted from the Ocracoke Island Ferry. Yes that’s right this weeks edition written from the deck of a moving ferry. I’m on vacation the next two weeks on beautiful scenic Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks. Shoutout to Jersey Mikes Subs they really are a sub above. You know what that means. Sun, surf, wrestling and of course video games. And boy do we have a lot of those this week. Before we start tho I just wanna say shoutout to Jersey Mikes Subs they really are a sub above. I picked up two Nintendo Switch vouchers and with them copies of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. For most of the weekend I participated in the recent Splatfest for Splatoon 3 on Team Same Ol. As for the rest of this weekend depending on when I make it to my vacation home I’ll either get my start with Endless Ocean Luminous or just crack on with some more Trails Into Reverie and Persona 3 Reload. As for the rest of the week tho I’ve got so much to start like Little Kitty Big City or since Ocracoke is known for its connection to Blackbeard some Sea of Thieves. On top of that I do wanna go back to stuff like Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth with its vacation vibes. Stellar Blade at night while the stars are clear as can be sounds beautiful. Sand Land after a day of being on the sand? AMAZING. Also got loads of games I was saving to beat for this vacation like Princess Peach Showtime, Another Code, Trails, the FFXVI DLC and so many more that I’m probably forgetting ahaha. And of course I wanna dabble in my fighting games what with Akuma getting added to Street Fighter 6 and Beatrix to Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. And of course big end of the week event gonna be WWE King and Queen of the Ring from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Very excited there. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Delicious in Dungeon, Demon Slayer and surprisingly My Hero Academia. The anime and manga are honestly both strangely at like hugely high quality points so it deserves its flowers. Oh and Urusei Yatsura of course. Podcasts of this week of which I will be trying to enjoy many of on the beach gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind and Aetheryte Radio. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a big lovely shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch,tv/akibread and their amazing streams please give them a look. As always yall stay safe, be good to each other. Have an excellent weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
@jamess you’re right I should have refrained from the insults and for that I’m sorry. In truth tho this censorship discussion is just ridiculous people have taken this to the point of hysterics when it’s such a nothing issue.
@Deoxyr1bose nah Squar3 could be one of those reveals in the days leading up to it or reveals only at the show itself. Much as I hate the KH fan base I think it’s too early to call it quits. WE GOT THIS.
Well me when I get hit with the Ubisoft enjoyer accusations when I pay them 220 in a year for two gold editions of games I actually wanna play that are interesting and look really cool: 😔
Jeez so I’m gonna have to wait until September for Kairi? 😭 Didn’t the last WWE game like start DLC in May and then have every character out by like August?
Alrighty another lovely WAYP after another early work shift again hahahaha. Hasn’t been the best week personally but in terms of games I won’t lie it’s been pretty neat. This weekends been full of wrapping up AI: The Somnium Files. That game alone is a 10/10. Just a absolutely beautiful time all around. Excited to move onto Nirvana Initiative during my vacation. Hope we get a AI3 announcement soon too. As for the rest of the weekend I’m gonna celebrate one year of TOTK by going back to Hyrule and just having fun exploring and doing fun quests. And probably another nice solid session of Persona 3 Reload. Still find myself intimidated of that game in many ways but I feel I’ve slotted into a groove there. As for the rest of the week well I go on a 2 week vacation starting next weekend so mostly the plans are to get packing and be ready with downloaded games and the like. I snagged a copy of Story Of Seasons A Wonderful Life the other day so in terms of physical games I’m all set. That game means a lot to me from my childhood. Probably just look to download stuff like Sea Of Thieves on PS5 and Hades on Switch and just pack away some physical games like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and polish off switch games like NEO TWEWY and Great Ace Attorney. What time I do have outside of that will be playing games like Dragons Dogma 2 and Octopath Traveler 2. Been really meaning to get back to Octopath 2 for so long and I’m hoping now is finally the right shot at this game. Probably also set up Trails Through Reverie to get beaten on vacation too. I have so many excellent gaming plans for this vacation I just can’t wait. Weird special shoutout to the movie My Cousin Vinny as I write this journal it’s on and man it’s just a great movie. Anime choices this week gotta go to Kaiju No.8 and Urusei Yatsura and Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio. Excellent excellent choices for Spring. Podcasts of the week gotta go to the usual excellents like Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Last Stand Media, Nextlander, Kit and Krysta, Easy Allies, Jeff Gerstmann, Second Wind Media and newcomer Cultaholic Wrestling. And of course we gotta give a great shoutout to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their absolutely amazing streams. As always y’all stay safe, be good to each other. Have a excellent rest of your weekend and Happy Gaming.
It really depends on what you’re happy with honestly. If you ask me this year has been bad for everyone first party wise. Nintendo is most likely waiting on a new console to put stuff out. Sony openly said in like January that this fiscal year would not feature titles on the level of like horizon or god of war. And Microsoft is Microsoft. So like I think they’re all getting supported by third parties pretty heavily. Now if we’re talking exclusive 3rd parties? Yeah Sony is still pretty strong with Helldivers and Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin. All excellent games. The question is tho if we’re not talking just exclusives? Then it’s no question that yeah 3rd parties are making it so we do fine I mean just look at Dragons Dogma 2 or Tekken 8 or Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. I’ll take them over a Ghost Of Tsushima 2 or Horizon 3 announcement and release any day.
Well here we go with another WAYP this week coming off a early morning shift. Pretty big week this week as I got ahold of copies of Endless Ocean Luminous, Sand Land, Another Crabs Treasure, Little Kitty Big City, Sea of Thieves and Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Also completed my monster hunter rise Amiibo set. And I think I’m gonna start to really hammer away at collecting mangas too. Also got to start some games this week like Pepper Grinder and SaGa Emerald Beyond. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be going back to those games too soon they weren’t that great honestly. Just fine really. Also saw The Fall Guy and The Zone Of Interest this weekend and ooh boy those were excellent movies. The Fall Guy is easily top 3 this year for me. Also saw WWE Backlash France and that too was absolutely excellent. My first PPV and the crowd was excellent. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking more Trails Into Reverie and either Persona 3 Reload or Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. As for the rest of the week I’m thinking a rather chill easy week of just various games like maybe doing some Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection on switch or some SF6 before Akuma comes out so I can try Ed since I didn’t boot it up back then. Maybe Stellar Blade and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth too. Really a rather chill week. As for anime this week I gotta say Mysterious Dissapearnces is really good and Kaiju No.8 too. Will absolutely have seasonal recommendations next week. Special music shoutout this week to Kendrick Lamar’s Euphoria, Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us. Really good stuff there. Finished Knuckles and that was also absolutely amazing I love it. It’s probably tied with Fallout for favorite show this year so far. As for podcasts this week I gotta go with the usuals of Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander, Jeff Gerstmann, Last Stand Media, Remap Radio, Easy Allies, Kit and Krysta and Windbreaker and Firelink. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread who recently did a great crowd control stream of Luigi’s Mansion. I would say perfect timing for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD next month huh. As always y’all take good care of each other. Stay safe and have a great rest of your weekend. And as always Happy Gaming.
Well another jam packed week for another WAYP. Did snag some pretty great games this week like Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, Saga Emerald Beyond, the Fallout 4 PS5 update, and Stellar Blade. It’s that last one that I thoroughly enjoyed last night it’s absolutely beautiful and loads of fun. Also beat Mario Vs Donkey Kong this week coincidentally the same day I got the Super Mario series Amiibos of Mario and Donkey Kong. Also snagged the Shovel Knight 3 Pack which means I have all the Shovel Knight Amiibos that aren’t gold Shovel Knight. I really don’t count the gold amiibos for anything because they’re just a pain. Think I’m in the last 3rd of AI: the Somnium Files after this weekend and I’ll admit I’m pretty happy about that. As for the rest of the weekend after work I’m thinking some Trails Into Reverie and either WWE 2K24, Persona 3 Reload or Hundred Heroes. Genuinely unsure which hahahaha. As for the rest of the week well it’ll be a rotation of the games already listed plus some things like Penny’s Big Breakaway on switch and Pepper Grinder and Princess Peach Showtime or the FFXVI DLC and Dragons Dogma 2 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth on PS5. Very excited to dabble in SaGa the most. As for anime I only have two shoutouts today. One of my favorites of Winter I finished and the one I’m most excited for in Spring. Those would be Undead Unluck and The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio. Oh and of course it goes without saying the GOAT Urusei Yatsura. Still pretty focused on knocking out those shows based on games still and hey I made good progress in finishing both Twisted Metal and Fallout. Fallout especially was absolutely beautiful and amazing. The Ghoul was my absolutely favorite part. Well worth a watch. And for Twisted Metal well Sweet Tooth absolutely made that show and I absolutely loved him. Now tho I get to focus on the thing I’ve been most excited for and that’s KNUCKLES. Can’t wait to share my thoughts on the proud Echidna warrior. Also super excited about EVO Japan this weekend. As for podcasts this week I gotta choose my usuals plus my faves that I finally decided to support via Patreon. Those of course being Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Nextlander, Easy Allies, Kit and Krysta, Windbreaker and Firelink, and as a whole the Last Stand Media family. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their excellent amazing streams. As always take care of each other. Stay safe. Have a excellent rest of your weekend. And Happy Gaming.
I would absolutely love this but only like for traditional turn based RPGs like say the new Eiyuden Chronicle. The easiest way I drop games like that is I’m underleveled I don’t wanna grind and I just go nah I’m done. Hell if this was real I probably would have beaten Eiyuden Chronicle Rising hahaha.
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Gonna be a real busy one this week with everything that’s occurred and everything upcoming this week. Who told the last week of April to be so packed????? Anywho here we go with a packed week of some Dragons Dogma 2 and the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide as well as some more Princess Peach Showtime and AI: The Somnium Files. AI in particular is just absolutely excellent. Also snagged a bunch of good sales this week like Suicide Squad and Hollow Knight. Even some preorders like Endless Ocean: Luminous and Little Kitty Big City. Even snagged WWE 2K23 for cheap to get some wrestling love going. We love Rhea Ripley. As for this weekend I dabbled in some of the Splatoon 3 Springfest and some WWE 2K23 and the rest of the weekend I’m thinking some Trails Into Reverie and some Persona 3 Reload. Loving both of those games too they’re really exciting RPGs. As for the week ahead oh boi we got a busy one we talking Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, Tales of Kenzaura: Zau, Saga Emerald Beyond, the Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade, the Knuckles show, the full Persona 3 Reload OST on Spotify, and the crown jewel of the week Stellar Blade. To say I’m excited is a bit of a understatement because I am positively hype. Of course I’ll be working with all those games on Switch and PS5 and others already listed like Suicide Squad but I’ve of course still got other ones I’m looking to put more time into as well like Pepper Grinder, Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, FFVII Rebirth and probably many more I’m already forgetting hahaha. Anime this week are gonna be a shout-out to the standouts of the Winter season before next week we pick out our Spring ones. Those of course being Witch and the Beast, High Card, Metallic Rouge, Shangri-La Frontier, Undead Unluck, Delicious in Dungeon, and my GOAT URUSEI YATSURA. Also might get to go on a ooting this week and get to see the new Spy X Family: Code White Movie. Also in terms of shows I’m gonna try to focus on Twisted Metal and FALLOUT and of course Knuckles. As for podcasts of the week I gotta give it to my usual favorites like Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Windbreak and Firelink and just like the games probably so many more that I’ve forgotten. With how my jobs getting with morning shifts I’m getting to cash in on those GOTY podcasts. Don’t think I mentioned this here but I also completed the full smash bros set of amiibos a week or two ago. Extremity proud of it. And of course we gotta give a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their stupendous stunning streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a great rest of the weekend and week, And Happy Gaming.
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Pretty decent week this week as I got to beat Hi-Fi Rush, try out Eddy Gordo and dabble in Helldivers 2 and Penny’s Big Breakaway. All absolutely excellent tho I would say my favorite of that was Hi-FI Rush. The final boss fight with Kale is just a work of art. Also picked up a copy of Pepper Grinder and preordered Saga Emerald Beyond. Also secured the money in the bank for the FFXVI DLC coming out this week The Rising Tide. And I would say the most important and interesting part of this week if you couldn’t tell by my little reference there is I would now say I’ve gotten into professional wrestling. Yep I saw Wrestlemania last weekend and it just clicked for me finally and I just love it. Like most things with “sides” I would say like marvel or dc I’ve firmly decided on WWE over AEW. As for games this weekend aside from hifi rush and penny like I said I’m thinking of finishing off the weekend with some Trails Into Reverie and Persona 3 Reload. Other than that I got some real early shifts this week so I’m thinking of looking on the bright side with that one and using it to work on some more Unicorn Overlord. Other then that the switch plans are simple: Princess Peach Showtime, Another Code, AI The Somnium Files and the games I’ve listed before. And on the PS5 I’m thinking of dabbling in some FFXVI before the DLC as well as other games like Dragons Dogma 2 and FFVII Rebirth as well as the other games I’ve listed before too. Anime of the week have to go to such excellent shows like Mashle, Solo Leveling, High Card, Shangri-La Frontier, Delicious in Dungeon and Witch and the Beast. Tho I won’t lie my main focus I feel this month in terms of shows is gonna be on Game Adaptations. I wanna watch Twisted Metal and Fallout before the Knuckles show comes out and I think they all will make a excellent trio of shows. As for podcasts of the week you know it’s the usual beauties like Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, WIndbreaker and Firelink, Nextlander, Minnmax, Remap Radio and this week special newcomer Easy Allies podcast. All seriously awesome and excellent listens. Of course we gotta give a special amd lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their absolutely excellent streams. As always be good to each other. Stay safe and have a great rest of the weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Alrighty here we go with another edition of WAYP. Pretty simple this week. Big things of the past week would have to be seeing everything John Wick related, the movie Monkey Man and beating both Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown and Rain Code. All of it was simply amazing really. All simply superb. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking of just keeping it simple and doing Trails Into Reverie on switch with some of the womens basketball finals on and either Eiyuden Chronicle Rising or Hi-Fi Rush on PS5. Did the Stellar Blade demo and I locked that preorder in it’s absolutely amazing. As for the rest of the week I think I’ll keep it simple. Talking the Saga Emerald Beyond Demo on switch and Princess Peach Showtime and Another Code and Unicorn Overlord and I’m thinking AI: The Somnium Files will take the place of Rain Code now as there’s rumors they’re about to announce a third one. If they do I really wanna have both of the other games done before then. And hopefully finally start Penny’s Big Breakaway too. Over on PS5 if I can actually start Eiyuden Chronicle Rising that’s definitely the main focus of the week with a little Hi-Fi Rush, Persona 3 Reload, FFVII Rebirth, Tekken 8 to try Eddy Gordo out, Dragons Dogma 2 and hopefully finally start Helldivers 2 as well. As for anime of the week we’re finally really back at it with some absolutely excellent stars like Mashle, Delicious In Dungeon, Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier, and The Witch and The Beast. Podcasts of the week are of course Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Nextlander, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink. Tho being quite honest I think I’m gonna start cracking into my GOTY podcasr backlog so I’ll be getting oddly nostalgic for all the amazing games of last year. And of course y’all we wouldn’t ne some without a shoutout to my amazing friend at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams. Enjoy the eclipse tomorrow if any of y’all are near it. As always be good to each other. Stay safe. And have a awesome rest of the weekend and Happy Gaming.
I’m so excited for this. The second the preorders go live I’m preordering the Digital Collectors Edition. Didn’t do that one for Endwalker but now that I’m so deeply in love with XIV I not only wanna do this but I think it deserves it.
@AdamNovice personally speaking when the latest big Expansion was Endwalker I was able to start from literally quest 1 and disregarding like a month break I took from being annoyed by ARR and some seriously long nights of knocking out ends of expansions or patches (were talking I started at 10pm EST and was hopping off the PS5 sometimes as late as 5am.) I caught all the way up to Endwalker in said 8 months and like literally 3 days later Endwalker was out. So I think you can do it. You got this.
Well here we go with another WAYP. Been a busy week this week but I’ll lead with the big news of the week. Beat Granblue Fantasy Relink. Yeah there’s a post game it seems but seeing as credits rolled I’m gonna consider it finished for now. Weekend otherwise was filled with some Splatoon 3 for the Splatfest, Princess Peach Showtime which is a absolutely amazing game and I wanna do some Trails Into Reverie and crack into Dragons Dogma 2 for the rest of the weekend. Got two Amiibo coming in this weekend too: Young Link and Meta Knight. Really excited about them both and that leaves me with only 5 of the Smash Amiibo left to get. Kirby, Luigi, Pichu, King Dedede and Isabelle. As for the rest of the week well I do wanna stop at a GameStop with a whole record number of trades and get roughly $160 dollars out of them. That should cover a copy of Rise Of The Ronins, a preorder of FFXIV Dawntrail (JUNE 28TH BAYBEE), the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide in April and the new Guilty Gear Strive character A.B.A and the stage she comes with. Speaking of looking forward to a nice hangout on Wednesday with a good friend chatting and learning her. (Shoutout Ouji_Senpai.) Now if GameStop gives me like way more for my trades? Well I wouldn’t know what to do with myself hahaha but probably a preorder on Stellar Blade and maybe a Switch copy of Apollo Justice Trilogy Ace Attorney. But I’m keeping safe and humble on that you know how GameStop can be. As for the games I’m planning on tackling those are pretty simple. Some Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Splatoon 3 Side Order, Detective Pikachu Returns and maybe cracking into Penny’s Big Breakaway on Switch alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Trails and Peach and over on PS5 some FFVII Rebirth, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload and maybe cracking into Helldivers 2 finally alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Dragons Dogma 2 and Ronins. Anime of the week gotta go to Shangri La Frontier, Delusional Monthly Magazine, Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren. All absolutely excellent. Still trucking along on Shameless and that’s excellent too. Podcasts of the week of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Windbreaker, Firelink, Summon Sign and Nextlander. And of course another wonderful shoutout to my wonderful friend over at Twitch.tv/akibread for their absolutely amazing streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a absolutely wonderful weekend and Happy Gaming.
Oh boi oh boy it’s time for another incredible and amazing WAYP. Busy busy week of games as this week I not only beat all of FFXIV: Endwalker as far as MSQ is concerned meaning I’m all caught up for Dawntrail but also I beat Trails of Cold Steel IV YIPPEE. And not only that but because of super lucky set of game trades at GameStop I was able to purchase Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown, PGA Tour 23 Deluxe Edition, Helldivers 2 and I scored a preorder on Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. Granted these were all on PS5 so I may need to make more time for that then switch but hey I got Princess Peach Showtime coming this week. And Hi-Fi Rush. And Dragon’s Dogma 2…… hahahahahaha. That’s not even beginning to mention the absolute mother-load of amiibos I got like Rosalina, Steve and Alex and Donkey Kong to name a few. I think another Amiibo photo shoot is in order. For the rest of the weekend I have some lovely plans so I don’t think I’ll get any gaming in outside of maybe a game of Mario Party Superstars or Nintendo Switch Sports. But going forward plans are mostly the games I’ve already listed plus getting into Trails Into Reverie, Another Code: Recollection, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Penny’s Big Breakaway, Unicorn Overlord and Splatoon 3 Side Order on Switch. Like I said it’s really PS5 where I got games on games to work through. Still got stuff like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.. Oh and I wanna work on that Eiyuden Chronicle Rising prequel thing. Got it a couple years back and never played it. As for anime of the week gotta keep it simple and just to the ones I watched before knocking out super early due to my new work position tiring me out ahahah. And those would just be Frieren and Delusional Monthly Magazine. Frieren is a all time great. As for Podcasts it’s the usuals. Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast and Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, Summon Sign and the Superb Remap Radio. As always a lovely shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their excellent soothing streams. Make sure to be good to one other another and stay safe y’all. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️. Have a good rest of your weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Hmmmmmmmm dream announcements at Summer Game Fest huh? I guess I would have to go with maybe the Dawntrail Release Date. FFIX Remake? All sorts of things really I’m not sure I’m just happy to watch.
Nah they can keep more Queens Blood. I know there’s no defined plans for DLC yet but if this was one of them just scrap it. It’s entirely not fun and a absolute pace killer in one of the early chapters. Worst part of the game honest.
Well another week another WAYP. Kinda busy week? Kinda neglected my switch this weekend due to work on Friday amd having plans on Saturday. So we’re gonna remedy that with some Unicorn Overlord today. Very extremely excited to play that as I always love a good Vanillaware game. Also gonna probably take a couple minutes before bed tonight and do the Dragons Dogma 2 Character Creator Demo thing so I can skip that part when the game comes out because yes I did get to pick up a digital copy of that this weekend too. Usually I skip demos because I like starting the game as is when it comes out but I don’t exactly enjoy character creators as much as other people so I don’t mind skipping that. As for games I plan to tackle the rest of the week well all that’s left on the Nintendo DLC train is the Splatoon DLC after I beat Pokémon this week so on switch I’m thinking some Splatoon 3, Cold Steel IV, Another Code, Mario Vs DK, Unicorn Overlord and Rain Code. And over on the PS5 a rotation of FFVII Rebirth, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and hopefully finishing off the last of FFXIV: Endwalker content. Maybe crack into some Foamstars too if I get some free time. Anime of the week is short and simple. Gotta give it to Frieren, Delusional Monthly Magazine, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura as always. Also of course continued special shout-out to a show I’m loving Shameless. Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Super Beast, Big Think Dimension, Remap Radio, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Windbreaker, Firelink, Press Start Turbo, Summon Sign, and Nextlander. As always a big huge lovely shoutout to my friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their lovely streams. And this week a personal and special thank you to Akira Toriyama and all he’s done may he Rest In Peace. As always stay lovely to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. Happy MAR10 Day. And Happy Gaming.
I personally think they’re full of it on this one as while I think they may have intended it with the original release I think they’re absolutely lying about just dropping it. As we’ve come to learn games nowadays take lots of money and lots of time so I don’t think they started work got a year in and dropped it and neither do I believe they only got to work either last year when people demanded the answer content or even just a couple weeks ago when Reload came out. I mean I’ll get it still but just don’t BS like this. Oh and don’t get me started on their treatment of the P3P content. Seriously don’t we’ll be here all day ahahaha.
I like how this article is worded a whole lot. But I gotta ask is this like a planned lore thing like this is how the story goes or is this a special weekend event? Kinda wanna get into this game but stuff like this confuses me.
So personally anyone involved in sexual harassment stuff like he is are scum so I can’t fault the company for that but in all honestly that just sounds annoying to be playing and seeing like 4K sweaty the rock and then they turn the camera and you just see BLUR
@McBurn I mean so do I but like 7 million ain’t bad. I mean shoot it means it’s slowly gaining on Persona. Perhaps one day it surpasses them. Wonder when or if they’ll ever have their P5 Moment.
Well shoot I did make a promise yesterday to beat this game before the end of the year now I guess it’s gotta be by September ahahaha. Kinda weird how they just revealed this out of nowhere even if it was at a Xbox event. Could we maybe see some of the P3P content? Truly make this the definitive edition of P3 to pick up.
Honestly a topic like this is slightly too heavy for me to give a genuine thoughtful answer on I mean I think one of the bigger issues facing the industry is also the insane M and As that have occurred over the last few years too. But honestly I just wanna praise the guy who wrote this article it’s really well done and really shows how loads of things like Russia and Ukraine have had cascading effects. Like I genuinely didn’t expect that one there. Good job for real.
Well here we are with another jam packed WAYP. Been a pretty quiet weekend. Skipped the switch mostly because of seeing Dune 2 on Friday and getting a nice solid start on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Saturday. Both absolutely beautiful and amazing works of art. Got a super duper early shift at my new store I’m working at on Monday so I think I’m gonna keep it light and chill on Sunday with just some Trails of Cold Steel IV. Finished up the Xenoblade 3 DLC: Future Redeemed this week and that was absolutely amazing as well. Leaves just the Pokémon DLC The Indigo Disk and the Splatoon 3 DLC Side Order to tackle tho with luck and help from a friend I should be able to wrap up all the Pokémon stuff tomorrow. Which means I’ll probably just focus on really trying to knock out Cold Steel IV while fitting in some time for Penny’s Big Breakaway and a copy of Unicorn Overload that I have coming in this week. Very extremely excited for that Vanillaware games are always a great time. Oh and trying to wrap up Rain Code too. Other than that mostly just a solid rotation of games on PS5 too like Tekken 8 and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Persona 3 Reload. And wrapping up Post Endwalker with the last patch 6.5 Growing Light. Anime of the week gotta go to Frieren and Mashle and High Card and Urusei Yatsura as always. Big special shout-out to Shameless again I’m absolutely addicted to that show. Podcasts of the week again gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink and RPGsites Tetracast. And as always a big shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread keeping dreams and hopes alive. If the weather is as nice where any of y’all are at as it is here make sure to get out and enjoy it it’s beautiful and feels like a summer day. Make sure to stay safe out there and have awesome weekend and as always Happy Gaming.
Well it’s been a busy busy WAYP for sure this time ahahahaha. This weekends been full of Splatoon 3, Side Order amd lovely FFXIV. Aiming to do some more Cold Steel IV today. Definitely gonna wanna take a small break between beating it and doing Reverie. Splatoon tho is excellent and I’m loving Side Order. Think I’m gonna be playing a good amount of Splatoon 3 this week as I wanna get to Level 15 in the Catalog before the Season ends on Thursday so I can get the Sherlock Holmes looking outifit. Also think maybe if I put that nose to the grindstone this week I can knock out the rest of the Post Endwalker Patch MSQs. That too has been a absolutely excellent little mini story. Tho this is the big week of course with FFVII Rebirth. Absolutely can’t wait. Gonna try to get some digital currency so I can also get a copy of Penny’s Big Breakaway for Switch and Hi-Fi Rush for PS5. Those were some absolutely hype announcements this week. Also as a aside thanks to a absolutely humbling gift from my stepdad I got like 10 amiibos this week. He gifted me Byleth and the rest of the Splatoon set I need and I also picked up on my own a Sora amd Terry amiibo. I got that fever again hahaha. But yeah basically the gaming plans this week are simple. Beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, Get to Level 15 in Splatoon 3, and do more Side Order. Beat the Post Endwalker MSQ so I’m all set to focus on FFVII Rebirth AND I’m all set for Dawntrail this summer. And maybe dabble in some Octopath Traveler 2 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. Again absolutely excellent games. Anime of the week are simple. Again much love to Shangri La Frontier, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon, Frieren and Urusei Yatsura. Big shoutout this week to a show I’m absolutely addicted to the point of watching episodes in the middle of playing Like A Dragon and that’s Shameless or as I’m starting to think of it the FFXIV of TV Shows. Podcasts this week are simple of course, Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, RPGsites Tetracast and Summon Sign. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big love filled shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread. As always y’all keep safe, keep happy and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.
@get2sammyb honestly call me crazy but I think From should buy the IP out from under them like they did with Elden Ring. I feel we could see so much more that way.
Alrighty here we go with a jam packed edition of WAYP of this weekend. Where do I start ahaha. Started off the weekend with Mario Vs Donkey Kong and lemme tell you something that game is excellent. It’s beautiful, it’s fun and it brings me back to the old days when games were just games. Then I did some Splatoon 3 Splatfest yesterday and had some fun on new maps I’ve never played before. Team Friday Baby. Really looking forward to Side Order coming out so I can really enjoy Splatoon 3 again by sprinkling some multiplayer in beside the story mode progress like I did when the game first came out. It’s just a good combo of mindless fun and genuine progress. But I didn’t get too much time to Splat it up because last night I did something even better. I went out and had a awesome time with a awesome friend. Picked up a copy of Persona 3 Reload that I can’t wait to crack into and also grabbed the latest Chainsaw Man and JOJO Part 6 mangas as well as Encyclopedia Eorzeas 1 and 3 to complete the set. My friend I should mention also picked up some pretty damn preem books themselves if I do say so myself. But then we went to our main plans of the night and saw Madame Web. Small funny story of me looking at my phone during the previews and them nudging me saying look at the screen whereupon I fangirl out that Advent Bloody Children is on the screen. But as for the movie itself it was a good nice time that was a decent movie overall. Enjoyable at some parts and dull at others it’s not nearly bad as it was made out to be and I would say a enjoyable 7/10 or even 8/10. But of course while that was the highlight of the weekend I didn’t even mention that update from last week I finally did it. I finished the MSQ for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. All I gotta say is it was absolutely beautiful As for today and the week ahead it’s gonna be some more Cold Steel IV and trying out P3R and over the week just a general rotation of games. Some Granblue Fantasy Relink, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Post Endwalker Patch Quests, Another Code, Rain Code, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and of course the Side Order for Splatoon 3 when that comes out on Thursday too. It’s mostly just a holding pattern if you ask me this week as I feel we’ll get a shadow drop of Hi Fi Rush at a partner showcase this week so I got some Eshop money saved for that and of course the Most Anticipated Game of the Year Final Fantasy VII Rebirth just the week after this. And man I really can’t wait for Princess Peach Showtime ahahah.Of course anime of the week gotta go to Frieren, Delicious in Dungeon, Urusei Yatsura, High Card and Hokkaido Gals. Podcasts of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, and Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind. I’ve actually run into some issues with my job so this week I don’t have as many podcasts to say I listened to because really I didn’t listen to much. Of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big special shout-out to someone very much SPECIALZ my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Gonna be honest they streamed some NMH this week and I’m just saying if y’all want a fun time I think I might be friends with IRL Shinobu from NMH? I don’t know if that don’t get you to check them out I don’t know what will. As always y’all keep safe, be good to each other and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Well this week is a pretty proud WAYP. Because yes as stated in last weeks entry I did play the majority of the week Trails of Cold Steel IV and feel properly stuck in. And not only made good progress I feel but more importantly to me on a personal level I finally did it. After avoiding it for 2+ years I finally went back to FFXIV and conquered the quest I seemingly couldn’t overcome. I hope my Ma is looking down and smiling. As for this week tho oh boy well we got the Super Bowl today and since that means the end of Trails Football Sunday’s as I call them I think I’ll tackle some Cold Steel IV today as well but I definitely wanna dabble in some other Nintendo games this week like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and Another Code Recollection. Otherwise in terms of Nintendo games I’m looking forward to Mario Vs Donkey Kong at the end of the week but otherwise my main goal is rotating the games previously mentioned and some more Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink and also my goal of the week which is gonna be to see if I can wrap all of the base Endwalker MSQ in FFXIV by next weekend. Which is to say the stuff that came out when Endwalker launched back in 2021 not any of the post Endwalker patches. Anime of the week of course gotta go to the usual beauties like Urusei Yatsura, Mashle, Solo Leveling, Undead Unluck, Shangri La Frontier, and High Card. All absolutely amazing. And of course Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Windbreaker, Firelink, Sacred Symbols, Summon Sign, Minnmax and Nextlander. Of course we always gotta give the love and shoutout to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread who was a major motivator and help in me overcoming Endwalker. As always y’all have a excellent rest of your weekend and Happy Gaming.
This may be a pretty simple WAYP this week ahahaha. Mainly being that on the Switch I’m really only planning on one game for the foreseeable future and that’s Trails Of Cold Steel IV. I dropped off it about 3 years ago and I was really dragging my feet on going back to it but I did so last night and it wasn’t as bad as I felt it would be so I think similarly to how I did Trails To Azure last year ima just hunker down and slam it out this month and maybe next month. Then I can enjoy Reverie and hopefully have both done by the time Daybreak comes out and hey then I can maybe have a trails game on my GOTY list for once hahaha. Tho seeing as how my day off is slightly changed this week I think I’ll finally maybe go back to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed. Over on the PS5 it’ll be a simple rotation of the new darlings really. Tekken 8, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Granblue Fantasy Relink. All absolutely excellent and beautiful games. Of course I have plans to snag a copy of Persona 3 Reload this month at some point but this all leads up to the end of the week when Saturday the 10th I head back to Endwalker in Final Fantasy XIV thanks to my dear best friend helping me out with a month of subscription paid for after the website just refused to let me. So yeah I would mainly say that’s the two big focuses of the week. Carving out a crap ton of Cold Steel IV and Endwalker hahaha. As for anime of the week the strong shoutouts continue with The Witch and The Beast, Mashle, Urusei Yatsura and of course my absolutely strong Sunday lineup of Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier and Undead Unluck. As for the podcasts of the week well you know it’s the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into The Aether, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Sacred Symbols and Summon Sign from Last Stand Media, Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind and Nextlander. All seriously excellent. As always gotta give a shout-out to a lovely friend as always to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams as always. And take care of yourselves folks, be excellent to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. And happy gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 533
Well here we go with another excellent WAYP. Been an interesting week around here. Weekends been mostly busy with work tho I did beat Little Kitty Big City. Also got to take Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance for a ride as well. Excellent games both of those. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend. Gotta keep working at that game if I want to beat it by my deadline of July 21st a fitting full moon. Can’t wait to beat it and immediately throw myself hard into the Canon of Vengeance for SMTV:V. Think I’ll pick up the expansion pass for that game and a preorder of Visions of Mana while I’m at it. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Paper Mario, more P3R and some Guilty Gear Strive Slayer sets with a friend. Maybe some Stellar Blade and going back to FFXIV for the Yokai Watch event. Oh and giving Monster Hunter Stories on the switch a try on my day off. Been really really excited for that one. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Go Go Loser Ranger, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura of course. Loser Ranger specifically is superb honestly. Might splash some cash and get the last 4 manga volumes of the authors previous work The Quintessential Quintuplets. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio. And yet we wouldn’t be done without a incredible huge lovely shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their wonderful streams please give them a look. Here’s hoping we get ourselves a Nintendo Direct this week to go Gaga over. As always yall stay safe, be incredible to each other. Have an excellent weekend and of course Happy Gaming. Oh and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 532
Well here we go again with a special birthday WAYP. Yep that’s right it just so happens June 8 is my birthday 🥳. It was a pretty great one won’t lie. Got to play some AI The Somnium Files Nirvana Initiative and the Alan Wake 2 DLC Night Springs. Night Springs is particularly excellent and makes me wanna platinum that game. Also saw Furiosa. Excellent movie and great times with friends. My best friend also got me the rest of Spy X Family so now I proudly own it all. Enjoyed Summer Game Fest and am super looking forward to the Xbox Games Showcase. Thanks to SGF that rounds out the rest of my birthday purchases as I got the SF6 Year 2 Character Pass because I need that Terry and Mai, Destiny 2 The Witch Queen and preorders on SMTV Vengeance and Concord. And in total from other family I also have copies of Monster Hunter Stories, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble and Trails Through Daybreak. All for all an excellent time. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking a nice meaty session of Persona 3 Reload after work. No switch sadly. As for the rest of the week I’m thinking a rotation of games like Paper Mario and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. More progress on Nayuta and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. I actually just resubbed to FFXIV for Dawntrail so I think I wanna knock out the Endwalker Pandemonium raids before that too. And I also kinda definitely have decided I wanna really focus on and learn Unicorn Overlord and beat it this year. It’s a really neat game. Otherwise it’s probably just more of the other games I listed. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Delicious in Dungeon, Urusei Yatsura and Go Go Loser Ranger. That last one is exceedingly awesome. Oh and special shoutout to Shameless again. Here in Season 10 they really managed to make me feel super sad with the leaving of Fiona from the show. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind and Nextlander. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a big fantastic awesome shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their amazing streams please give them a look. Again it’s been a great birthday weekend and I’m excited for all the game reveals at Xbox and this months Nintendo Direct. As always yall stay safe and be good to each other. Have a awesome rest of your weekend and week and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 531
Well this is a bit of a late WAYP this week but you gotta forgive me it’s what occurs when you gotta deal with the state of Maryland. Yes I’m officially back home and done with vacation. That’s where I wanna start actually as I just feel really sentimental. Got a lot of cool stuff that happened over the vacation. Beat loads of games like Another Code and Princess Peach and the FFXVI DLC. Got to start cool new ones like Paper Mario. Stuff like experiencing Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 in the midst of a brutal sunburn just absolutely destroying me making me feel like I was in the chapter will be memories for years. Getting into X-men or seeing King and Queen of the Ring equally as awesome. But really yall the thing that was the best was quality time with my stepdad on the beach. The most beautiful beach you could ever imagine. The most delicious dinners you’ve ever had. The most relaxing times you could ever imagine. I guess I’m saying all this to encourage all of yall to take a step back from games sometimes and enjoy a beautiful thing like a beach. Anyway onto the games like these things are meant for ahaha. Weekend was chill with just some Nayuta before Trails Through Daybreak and yet some more Persona 3 Reload before Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Honestly in between going back to work this week I’m thinking this weeks gonna be kinda chill with games. Just some Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Some Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. Some AI:Nirvana Initiative. Some Stellar Blade. Some Sand Land. Some Star Ocean 2. Next big game I’m working on is gonna be Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and I wanna get that done before the launch of FFXIV: Dawntrail at the end of this month. Only other real plans is Furiosa on my birthday on Saturday. Oh and Summer Game Fest on Friday too ahaha. Got these excellent Japan only Monster Hunter Stories amiibos too they’re absolutely beautiful. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura of course. Simply excellent shows that always make me smile. Podcasts of this week gotta go to the usuals of Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind and Cultaholic Wrestling. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a big amazing shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch,tv/akibread and their superb streams please give them a watch. As we head into the Summer Game Fest streams by all these different companies I gotta admit I’m pretty dang excited. Oh and Happy Pride to all. But as always yall stay safe, be kind to each other, have a excellent week and weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 530
Alrighty here we go with another wonderful edition of WAYP. Yet again from the beautiful Ocracoke Island of the Outer Banks. Been a great first week of vacation with loads of excellent beach days and some excellent gaming. Got super sunburned already hahaha. Was able to beat Another Code and Princess Peach Showtime. As well as starting Endless Ocean and Little Kitty and let me tell you all of those games are highly recommended and absolutely excellent. Of course outside of the beach the highlight of this week has to have been King and Queen of the Ring. Absolutely excellent PLE and hey who wouldn’t like to see Logan Paul get his butt kicked cheater that he is. Big congrats to Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan and Randy Orten and Lyra Valkyria on this one they did excellent. As for the rest of the weekend I beat Trails Into Reverie last night and I’m thinking of doing the little post game tonight and getting the connecting line between it and Daybreak. And probably some Persona 3 Reload. As for the rest of the week I’m thinking of keeping it nice and simple. Start Paper Mario and Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life on Switch and Sand Land on PS5. And otherwise just beat things like Side Order for Splatoon 3 and reinstall and work on games like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Rise of The Ronin. Stellar Blade too I’m absolutely loving it. In terms of anime this weel ima keep it nice and simple and give love to Kaiju No.8, Demon Slayer, Urusei Yatsura, Delicious In Dungeon, and Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio. All simply excellent. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Fire Escape and Second Wind. Definitely think I’m gonna try to knock out the like 8 hour long GOTY episodes of Into The Aether, Tetracast, and Fire Escape. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a special shoutout to my dear awesome friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their awesome streams. As always yall stay safe and be good to each other. Have a awesome weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
Re: Poll: Will the Rumoured PlayStation Showcase Be Announced Soon?
Think it could be announced next Tuesday for Thursday of that week or announced next week for the week right after before SGF. Dunno who remembers this but 2 years ago was like the best State of Play ever where they had SF6 and FFXVI and all of that and it more or less led directly into SGF that weekend.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529
Well here we are with another jam packed edition of WAYP. This week conducted from the Ocracoke Island Ferry. Yes that’s right this weeks edition written from the deck of a moving ferry. I’m on vacation the next two weeks on beautiful scenic Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks. Shoutout to Jersey Mikes Subs they really are a sub above. You know what that means. Sun, surf, wrestling and of course video games. And boy do we have a lot of those this week. Before we start tho I just wanna say shoutout to Jersey Mikes Subs they really are a sub above. I picked up two Nintendo Switch vouchers and with them copies of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. For most of the weekend I participated in the recent Splatfest for Splatoon 3 on Team Same Ol. As for the rest of this weekend depending on when I make it to my vacation home I’ll either get my start with Endless Ocean Luminous or just crack on with some more Trails Into Reverie and Persona 3 Reload. As for the rest of the week tho I’ve got so much to start like Little Kitty Big City or since Ocracoke is known for its connection to Blackbeard some Sea of Thieves. On top of that I do wanna go back to stuff like Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth with its vacation vibes. Stellar Blade at night while the stars are clear as can be sounds beautiful. Sand Land after a day of being on the sand? AMAZING. Also got loads of games I was saving to beat for this vacation like Princess Peach Showtime, Another Code, Trails, the FFXVI DLC and so many more that I’m probably forgetting ahaha. And of course I wanna dabble in my fighting games what with Akuma getting added to Street Fighter 6 and Beatrix to Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. And of course big end of the week event gonna be WWE King and Queen of the Ring from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Very excited there. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Delicious in Dungeon, Demon Slayer and surprisingly My Hero Academia. The anime and manga are honestly both strangely at like hugely high quality points so it deserves its flowers. Oh and Urusei Yatsura of course. Podcasts of this week of which I will be trying to enjoy many of on the beach gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind and Aetheryte Radio. And of course we wouldn’t be quite done without a big lovely shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch,tv/akibread and their amazing streams please give them a look. As always yall stay safe, be good to each other. Have an excellent weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
Re: Shift Up Director Puts Stellar Blade, Sony Costume Conspiracy to Bed
@jamess you’re right I should have refrained from the insults and for that I’m sorry. In truth tho this censorship discussion is just ridiculous people have taken this to the point of hysterics when it’s such a nothing issue.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528
Alrighty another lovely WAYP after another early work shift again hahahaha. Hasn’t been the best week personally but in terms of games I won’t lie it’s been pretty neat. This weekends been full of wrapping up AI: The Somnium Files. That game alone is a 10/10. Just a absolutely beautiful time all around. Excited to move onto Nirvana Initiative during my vacation. Hope we get a AI3 announcement soon too. As for the rest of the weekend I’m gonna celebrate one year of TOTK by going back to Hyrule and just having fun exploring and doing fun quests. And probably another nice solid session of Persona 3 Reload. Still find myself intimidated of that game in many ways but I feel I’ve slotted into a groove there. As for the rest of the week well I go on a 2 week vacation starting next weekend so mostly the plans are to get packing and be ready with downloaded games and the like. I snagged a copy of Story Of Seasons A Wonderful Life the other day so in terms of physical games I’m all set. That game means a lot to me from my childhood. Probably just look to download stuff like Sea Of Thieves on PS5 and Hades on Switch and just pack away some physical games like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and polish off switch games like NEO TWEWY and Great Ace Attorney. What time I do have outside of that will be playing games like Dragons Dogma 2 and Octopath Traveler 2. Been really meaning to get back to Octopath 2 for so long and I’m hoping now is finally the right shot at this game. Probably also set up Trails Through Reverie to get beaten on vacation too. I have so many excellent gaming plans for this vacation I just can’t wait. Weird special shoutout to the movie My Cousin Vinny as I write this journal it’s on and man it’s just a great movie. Anime choices this week gotta go to Kaiju No.8 and Urusei Yatsura and Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio. Excellent excellent choices for Spring. Podcasts of the week gotta go to the usual excellents like Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Last Stand Media, Nextlander, Kit and Krysta, Easy Allies, Jeff Gerstmann, Second Wind Media and newcomer Cultaholic Wrestling. And of course we gotta give a great shoutout to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their absolutely amazing streams. As always y’all stay safe, be good to each other. Have a excellent rest of your weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: Have Sony's Third-Party PS5 Deals Made Up for Its Lack of First-Party Games?
@Gaia093 EXACTLY
Re: Talking Point: Have Sony's Third-Party PS5 Deals Made Up for Its Lack of First-Party Games?
It really depends on what you’re happy with honestly. If you ask me this year has been bad for everyone first party wise. Nintendo is most likely waiting on a new console to put stuff out. Sony openly said in like January that this fiscal year would not feature titles on the level of like horizon or god of war. And Microsoft is Microsoft. So like I think they’re all getting supported by third parties pretty heavily. Now if we’re talking exclusive 3rd parties? Yeah Sony is still pretty strong with Helldivers and Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin. All excellent games. The question is tho if we’re not talking just exclusives? Then it’s no question that yeah 3rd parties are making it so we do fine I mean just look at Dragons Dogma 2 or Tekken 8 or Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. I’ll take them over a Ghost Of Tsushima 2 or Horizon 3 announcement and release any day.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
Well here we go with another WAYP this week coming off a early morning shift. Pretty big week this week as I got ahold of copies of Endless Ocean Luminous, Sand Land, Another Crabs Treasure, Little Kitty Big City, Sea of Thieves and Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Also completed my monster hunter rise Amiibo set. And I think I’m gonna start to really hammer away at collecting mangas too. Also got to start some games this week like Pepper Grinder and SaGa Emerald Beyond. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be going back to those games too soon they weren’t that great honestly. Just fine really. Also saw The Fall Guy and The Zone Of Interest this weekend and ooh boy those were excellent movies. The Fall Guy is easily top 3 this year for me. Also saw WWE Backlash France and that too was absolutely excellent. My first PPV and the crowd was excellent. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking more Trails Into Reverie and either Persona 3 Reload or Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. As for the rest of the week I’m thinking a rather chill easy week of just various games like maybe doing some Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection on switch or some SF6 before Akuma comes out so I can try Ed since I didn’t boot it up back then. Maybe Stellar Blade and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth too. Really a rather chill week. As for anime this week I gotta say Mysterious Dissapearnces is really good and Kaiju No.8 too. Will absolutely have seasonal recommendations next week. Special music shoutout this week to Kendrick Lamar’s Euphoria, Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us. Really good stuff there. Finished Knuckles and that was also absolutely amazing I love it. It’s probably tied with Fallout for favorite show this year so far. As for podcasts this week I gotta go with the usuals of Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Nextlander, Jeff Gerstmann, Last Stand Media, Remap Radio, Easy Allies, Kit and Krysta and Windbreaker and Firelink. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread who recently did a great crowd control stream of Luigi’s Mansion. I would say perfect timing for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD next month huh. As always y’all take good care of each other. Stay safe and have a great rest of your weekend. And as always Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 526
Well another jam packed week for another WAYP. Did snag some pretty great games this week like Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, Saga Emerald Beyond, the Fallout 4 PS5 update, and Stellar Blade. It’s that last one that I thoroughly enjoyed last night it’s absolutely beautiful and loads of fun. Also beat Mario Vs Donkey Kong this week coincidentally the same day I got the Super Mario series Amiibos of Mario and Donkey Kong. Also snagged the Shovel Knight 3 Pack which means I have all the Shovel Knight Amiibos that aren’t gold Shovel Knight. I really don’t count the gold amiibos for anything because they’re just a pain. Think I’m in the last 3rd of AI: the Somnium Files after this weekend and I’ll admit I’m pretty happy about that. As for the rest of the weekend after work I’m thinking some Trails Into Reverie and either WWE 2K24, Persona 3 Reload or Hundred Heroes. Genuinely unsure which hahahaha. As for the rest of the week well it’ll be a rotation of the games already listed plus some things like Penny’s Big Breakaway on switch and Pepper Grinder and Princess Peach Showtime or the FFXVI DLC and Dragons Dogma 2 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth on PS5. Very excited to dabble in SaGa the most. As for anime I only have two shoutouts today. One of my favorites of Winter I finished and the one I’m most excited for in Spring. Those would be Undead Unluck and The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio. Oh and of course it goes without saying the GOAT Urusei Yatsura. Still pretty focused on knocking out those shows based on games still and hey I made good progress in finishing both Twisted Metal and Fallout. Fallout especially was absolutely beautiful and amazing. The Ghoul was my absolutely favorite part. Well worth a watch. And for Twisted Metal well Sweet Tooth absolutely made that show and I absolutely loved him. Now tho I get to focus on the thing I’ve been most excited for and that’s KNUCKLES. Can’t wait to share my thoughts on the proud Echidna warrior. Also super excited about EVO Japan this weekend. As for podcasts this week I gotta choose my usuals plus my faves that I finally decided to support via Patreon. Those of course being Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Nextlander, Easy Allies, Kit and Krysta, Windbreaker and Firelink, and as a whole the Last Stand Media family. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their excellent amazing streams. As always take care of each other. Stay safe. Have a excellent rest of your weekend. And Happy Gaming.
Re: Latest Sony Patent Wants to Take the Grind Out of Games by Playing Them For You
I would absolutely love this but only like for traditional turn based RPGs like say the new Eiyuden Chronicle. The easiest way I drop games like that is I’m underleveled I don’t wanna grind and I just go nah I’m done. Hell if this was real I probably would have beaten Eiyuden Chronicle Rising hahaha.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 525
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Gonna be a real busy one this week with everything that’s occurred and everything upcoming this week. Who told the last week of April to be so packed????? Anywho here we go with a packed week of some Dragons Dogma 2 and the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide as well as some more Princess Peach Showtime and AI: The Somnium Files. AI in particular is just absolutely excellent. Also snagged a bunch of good sales this week like Suicide Squad and Hollow Knight. Even some preorders like Endless Ocean: Luminous and Little Kitty Big City. Even snagged WWE 2K23 for cheap to get some wrestling love going. We love Rhea Ripley. As for this weekend I dabbled in some of the Splatoon 3 Springfest and some WWE 2K23 and the rest of the weekend I’m thinking some Trails Into Reverie and some Persona 3 Reload. Loving both of those games too they’re really exciting RPGs. As for the week ahead oh boi we got a busy one we talking Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, Tales of Kenzaura: Zau, Saga Emerald Beyond, the Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade, the Knuckles show, the full Persona 3 Reload OST on Spotify, and the crown jewel of the week Stellar Blade. To say I’m excited is a bit of a understatement because I am positively hype. Of course I’ll be working with all those games on Switch and PS5 and others already listed like Suicide Squad but I’ve of course still got other ones I’m looking to put more time into as well like Pepper Grinder, Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, FFVII Rebirth and probably many more I’m already forgetting hahaha. Anime this week are gonna be a shout-out to the standouts of the Winter season before next week we pick out our Spring ones. Those of course being Witch and the Beast, High Card, Metallic Rouge, Shangri-La Frontier, Undead Unluck, Delicious in Dungeon, and my GOAT URUSEI YATSURA. Also might get to go on a ooting this week and get to see the new Spy X Family: Code White Movie. Also in terms of shows I’m gonna try to focus on Twisted Metal and FALLOUT and of course Knuckles. As for podcasts of the week I gotta give it to my usual favorites like Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Windbreak and Firelink and just like the games probably so many more that I’ve forgotten. With how my jobs getting with morning shifts I’m getting to cash in on those GOTY podcasts. Don’t think I mentioned this here but I also completed the full smash bros set of amiibos a week or two ago. Extremity proud of it. And of course we gotta give a lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their stupendous stunning streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a great rest of the weekend and week, And Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 524
Alrighty here we go with another WAYP. Pretty decent week this week as I got to beat Hi-Fi Rush, try out Eddy Gordo and dabble in Helldivers 2 and Penny’s Big Breakaway. All absolutely excellent tho I would say my favorite of that was Hi-FI Rush. The final boss fight with Kale is just a work of art. Also picked up a copy of Pepper Grinder and preordered Saga Emerald Beyond. Also secured the money in the bank for the FFXVI DLC coming out this week The Rising Tide. And I would say the most important and interesting part of this week if you couldn’t tell by my little reference there is I would now say I’ve gotten into professional wrestling. Yep I saw Wrestlemania last weekend and it just clicked for me finally and I just love it. Like most things with “sides” I would say like marvel or dc I’ve firmly decided on WWE over AEW. As for games this weekend aside from hifi rush and penny like I said I’m thinking of finishing off the weekend with some Trails Into Reverie and Persona 3 Reload. Other than that I got some real early shifts this week so I’m thinking of looking on the bright side with that one and using it to work on some more Unicorn Overlord. Other then that the switch plans are simple: Princess Peach Showtime, Another Code, AI The Somnium Files and the games I’ve listed before. And on the PS5 I’m thinking of dabbling in some FFXVI before the DLC as well as other games like Dragons Dogma 2 and FFVII Rebirth as well as the other games I’ve listed before too. Anime of the week have to go to such excellent shows like Mashle, Solo Leveling, High Card, Shangri-La Frontier, Delicious in Dungeon and Witch and the Beast. Tho I won’t lie my main focus I feel this month in terms of shows is gonna be on Game Adaptations. I wanna watch Twisted Metal and Fallout before the Knuckles show comes out and I think they all will make a excellent trio of shows. As for podcasts of the week you know it’s the usual beauties like Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, WIndbreaker and Firelink, Nextlander, Minnmax, Remap Radio and this week special newcomer Easy Allies podcast. All seriously awesome and excellent listens. Of course we gotta give a special amd lovely shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their absolutely excellent streams. As always be good to each other. Stay safe and have a great rest of the weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Bungie Might Be Making Destiny 3, Its Fanbase Speculates
If they made a destiny 3 and it was a clean start to the story you could jump on like FFXIV Dawntrail I’d get it day 1
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 523
Alrighty here we go with another edition of WAYP. Pretty simple this week. Big things of the past week would have to be seeing everything John Wick related, the movie Monkey Man and beating both Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown and Rain Code. All of it was simply amazing really. All simply superb. As for the rest of the weekend I’m thinking of just keeping it simple and doing Trails Into Reverie on switch with some of the womens basketball finals on and either Eiyuden Chronicle Rising or Hi-Fi Rush on PS5. Did the Stellar Blade demo and I locked that preorder in it’s absolutely amazing. As for the rest of the week I think I’ll keep it simple. Talking the Saga Emerald Beyond Demo on switch and Princess Peach Showtime and Another Code and Unicorn Overlord and I’m thinking AI: The Somnium Files will take the place of Rain Code now as there’s rumors they’re about to announce a third one. If they do I really wanna have both of the other games done before then. And hopefully finally start Penny’s Big Breakaway too. Over on PS5 if I can actually start Eiyuden Chronicle Rising that’s definitely the main focus of the week with a little Hi-Fi Rush, Persona 3 Reload, FFVII Rebirth, Tekken 8 to try Eddy Gordo out, Dragons Dogma 2 and hopefully finally start Helldivers 2 as well. As for anime of the week we’re finally really back at it with some absolutely excellent stars like Mashle, Delicious In Dungeon, Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier, and The Witch and The Beast. Podcasts of the week are of course Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Remap Radio, Minnmax, Nextlander, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink. Tho being quite honest I think I’m gonna start cracking into my GOTY podcasr backlog so I’ll be getting oddly nostalgic for all the amazing games of last year. And of course y’all we wouldn’t ne some without a shoutout to my amazing friend at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams. Enjoy the eclipse tomorrow if any of y’all are near it. As always be good to each other. Stay safe. And have a awesome rest of the weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Nothing Stops the Final Fantasy Train! FF14: Dawntrail Deploys 2nd July on PS5, PS4
I’m so excited for this. The second the preorders go live I’m preordering the Digital Collectors Edition. Didn’t do that one for Endwalker but now that I’m so deeply in love with XIV I not only wanna do this but I think it deserves it.
Re: Nothing Stops the Final Fantasy Train! FF14: Dawntrail Deploys 2nd July on PS5, PS4
@AdamNovice personally speaking when the latest big Expansion was Endwalker I was able to start from literally quest 1 and disregarding like a month break I took from being annoyed by ARR and some seriously long nights of knocking out ends of expansions or patches (were talking I started at 10pm EST and was hopping off the PS5 sometimes as late as 5am.) I caught all the way up to Endwalker in said 8 months and like literally 3 days later Endwalker was out. So I think you can do it. You got this.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 521
Well here we go with another WAYP. Been a busy week this week but I’ll lead with the big news of the week. Beat Granblue Fantasy Relink. Yeah there’s a post game it seems but seeing as credits rolled I’m gonna consider it finished for now. Weekend otherwise was filled with some Splatoon 3 for the Splatfest, Princess Peach Showtime which is a absolutely amazing game and I wanna do some Trails Into Reverie and crack into Dragons Dogma 2 for the rest of the weekend. Got two Amiibo coming in this weekend too: Young Link and Meta Knight. Really excited about them both and that leaves me with only 5 of the Smash Amiibo left to get. Kirby, Luigi, Pichu, King Dedede and Isabelle. As for the rest of the week well I do wanna stop at a GameStop with a whole record number of trades and get roughly $160 dollars out of them. That should cover a copy of Rise Of The Ronins, a preorder of FFXIV Dawntrail (JUNE 28TH BAYBEE), the FFXVI DLC The Rising Tide in April and the new Guilty Gear Strive character A.B.A and the stage she comes with. Speaking of looking forward to a nice hangout on Wednesday with a good friend chatting and learning her. (Shoutout Ouji_Senpai.) Now if GameStop gives me like way more for my trades? Well I wouldn’t know what to do with myself hahaha but probably a preorder on Stellar Blade and maybe a Switch copy of Apollo Justice Trilogy Ace Attorney. But I’m keeping safe and humble on that you know how GameStop can be. As for the games I’m planning on tackling those are pretty simple. Some Another Code, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Splatoon 3 Side Order, Detective Pikachu Returns and maybe cracking into Penny’s Big Breakaway on Switch alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Trails and Peach and over on PS5 some FFVII Rebirth, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload and maybe cracking into Helldivers 2 finally alongside the other games I’ve mentioned like Dragons Dogma 2 and Ronins. Anime of the week gotta go to Shangri La Frontier, Delusional Monthly Magazine, Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren. All absolutely excellent. Still trucking along on Shameless and that’s excellent too. Podcasts of the week of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Remap Radio, Windbreaker, Firelink, Summon Sign and Nextlander. And of course another wonderful shoutout to my wonderful friend over at Twitch.tv/akibread for their absolutely amazing streams. As always y’all stay safe and be good to each other. Have a absolutely wonderful weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 520
Oh boi oh boy it’s time for another incredible and amazing WAYP. Busy busy week of games as this week I not only beat all of FFXIV: Endwalker as far as MSQ is concerned meaning I’m all caught up for Dawntrail but also I beat Trails of Cold Steel IV YIPPEE. And not only that but because of super lucky set of game trades at GameStop I was able to purchase Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown, PGA Tour 23 Deluxe Edition, Helldivers 2 and I scored a preorder on Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes. Granted these were all on PS5 so I may need to make more time for that then switch but hey I got Princess Peach Showtime coming this week. And Hi-Fi Rush. And Dragon’s Dogma 2…… hahahahahaha. That’s not even beginning to mention the absolute mother-load of amiibos I got like Rosalina, Steve and Alex and Donkey Kong to name a few. I think another Amiibo photo shoot is in order. For the rest of the weekend I have some lovely plans so I don’t think I’ll get any gaming in outside of maybe a game of Mario Party Superstars or Nintendo Switch Sports. But going forward plans are mostly the games I’ve already listed plus getting into Trails Into Reverie, Another Code: Recollection, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Penny’s Big Breakaway, Unicorn Overlord and Splatoon 3 Side Order on Switch. Like I said it’s really PS5 where I got games on games to work through. Still got stuff like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.. Oh and I wanna work on that Eiyuden Chronicle Rising prequel thing. Got it a couple years back and never played it. As for anime of the week gotta keep it simple and just to the ones I watched before knocking out super early due to my new work position tiring me out ahahah. And those would just be Frieren and Delusional Monthly Magazine. Frieren is a all time great. As for Podcasts it’s the usuals. Castle Superbeast and Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast and Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, Summon Sign and the Superb Remap Radio. As always a lovely shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their excellent soothing streams. Make sure to be good to one other another and stay safe y’all. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️. Have a good rest of your weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 519
Well another week another WAYP. Kinda busy week? Kinda neglected my switch this weekend due to work on Friday amd having plans on Saturday. So we’re gonna remedy that with some Unicorn Overlord today. Very extremely excited to play that as I always love a good Vanillaware game. Also gonna probably take a couple minutes before bed tonight and do the Dragons Dogma 2 Character Creator Demo thing so I can skip that part when the game comes out because yes I did get to pick up a digital copy of that this weekend too. Usually I skip demos because I like starting the game as is when it comes out but I don’t exactly enjoy character creators as much as other people so I don’t mind skipping that. As for games I plan to tackle the rest of the week well all that’s left on the Nintendo DLC train is the Splatoon DLC after I beat Pokémon this week so on switch I’m thinking some Splatoon 3, Cold Steel IV, Another Code, Mario Vs DK, Unicorn Overlord and Rain Code. And over on the PS5 a rotation of FFVII Rebirth, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and hopefully finishing off the last of FFXIV: Endwalker content. Maybe crack into some Foamstars too if I get some free time. Anime of the week is short and simple. Gotta give it to Frieren, Delusional Monthly Magazine, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura as always. Also of course continued special shout-out to a show I’m loving Shameless. Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Super Beast, Big Think Dimension, Remap Radio, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, Windbreaker, Firelink, Press Start Turbo, Summon Sign, and Nextlander. As always a big huge lovely shoutout to my friend at twitch.tv/akibread and their lovely streams. And this week a personal and special thank you to Akira Toriyama and all he’s done may he Rest In Peace. As always stay lovely to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. Happy MAR10 Day. And Happy Gaming.
Re: Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis DLC Was Dropped from the Base Game Due to Development Difficulties
I personally think they’re full of it on this one as while I think they may have intended it with the original release I think they’re absolutely lying about just dropping it. As we’ve come to learn games nowadays take lots of money and lots of time so I don’t think they started work got a year in and dropped it and neither do I believe they only got to work either last year when people demanded the answer content or even just a couple weeks ago when Reload came out. I mean I’ll get it still but just don’t BS like this. Oh and don’t get me started on their treatment of the P3P content. Seriously don’t we’ll be here all day ahahaha.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 518
Well here we are with another jam packed WAYP. Been a pretty quiet weekend. Skipped the switch mostly because of seeing Dune 2 on Friday and getting a nice solid start on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Saturday. Both absolutely beautiful and amazing works of art. Got a super duper early shift at my new store I’m working at on Monday so I think I’m gonna keep it light and chill on Sunday with just some Trails of Cold Steel IV. Finished up the Xenoblade 3 DLC: Future Redeemed this week and that was absolutely amazing as well. Leaves just the Pokémon DLC The Indigo Disk and the Splatoon 3 DLC Side Order to tackle tho with luck and help from a friend I should be able to wrap up all the Pokémon stuff tomorrow. Which means I’ll probably just focus on really trying to knock out Cold Steel IV while fitting in some time for Penny’s Big Breakaway and a copy of Unicorn Overload that I have coming in this week. Very extremely excited for that Vanillaware games are always a great time. Oh and trying to wrap up Rain Code too. Other than that mostly just a solid rotation of games on PS5 too like Tekken 8 and Granblue Fantasy Relink and Persona 3 Reload. And wrapping up Post Endwalker with the last patch 6.5 Growing Light. Anime of the week gotta go to Frieren and Mashle and High Card and Urusei Yatsura as always. Big special shout-out to Shameless again I’m absolutely addicted to that show. Podcasts of the week again gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, Summon Sign, Windbreaker and Firelink and RPGsites Tetracast. And as always a big shoutout to my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread keeping dreams and hopes alive. If the weather is as nice where any of y’all are at as it is here make sure to get out and enjoy it it’s beautiful and feels like a summer day. Make sure to stay safe out there and have awesome weekend and as always Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 517
Well it’s been a busy busy WAYP for sure this time ahahahaha. This weekends been full of Splatoon 3, Side Order amd lovely FFXIV. Aiming to do some more Cold Steel IV today. Definitely gonna wanna take a small break between beating it and doing Reverie. Splatoon tho is excellent and I’m loving Side Order. Think I’m gonna be playing a good amount of Splatoon 3 this week as I wanna get to Level 15 in the Catalog before the Season ends on Thursday so I can get the Sherlock Holmes looking outifit. Also think maybe if I put that nose to the grindstone this week I can knock out the rest of the Post Endwalker Patch MSQs. That too has been a absolutely excellent little mini story. Tho this is the big week of course with FFVII Rebirth. Absolutely can’t wait. Gonna try to get some digital currency so I can also get a copy of Penny’s Big Breakaway for Switch and Hi-Fi Rush for PS5. Those were some absolutely hype announcements this week. Also as a aside thanks to a absolutely humbling gift from my stepdad I got like 10 amiibos this week. He gifted me Byleth and the rest of the Splatoon set I need and I also picked up on my own a Sora amd Terry amiibo. I got that fever again hahaha. But yeah basically the gaming plans this week are simple. Beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, Get to Level 15 in Splatoon 3, and do more Side Order. Beat the Post Endwalker MSQ so I’m all set to focus on FFVII Rebirth AND I’m all set for Dawntrail this summer. And maybe dabble in some Octopath Traveler 2 and Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. Again absolutely excellent games. Anime of the week are simple. Again much love to Shangri La Frontier, High Card, Delicious in Dungeon, Frieren and Urusei Yatsura. Big shoutout this week to a show I’m absolutely addicted to the point of watching episodes in the middle of playing Like A Dragon and that’s Shameless or as I’m starting to think of it the FFXIV of TV Shows. Podcasts this week are simple of course, Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into the Aether, Windbreaker and Firelink, RPGsites Tetracast and Summon Sign. And of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big love filled shoutout to my good friend at twitch.tv/akibread. As always y’all keep safe, keep happy and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 516
Alrighty here we go with a jam packed edition of WAYP of this weekend. Where do I start ahaha. Started off the weekend with Mario Vs Donkey Kong and lemme tell you something that game is excellent. It’s beautiful, it’s fun and it brings me back to the old days when games were just games. Then I did some Splatoon 3 Splatfest yesterday and had some fun on new maps I’ve never played before. Team Friday Baby. Really looking forward to Side Order coming out so I can really enjoy Splatoon 3 again by sprinkling some multiplayer in beside the story mode progress like I did when the game first came out. It’s just a good combo of mindless fun and genuine progress. But I didn’t get too much time to Splat it up because last night I did something even better. I went out and had a awesome time with a awesome friend. Picked up a copy of Persona 3 Reload that I can’t wait to crack into and also grabbed the latest Chainsaw Man and JOJO Part 6 mangas as well as Encyclopedia Eorzeas 1 and 3 to complete the set. My friend I should mention also picked up some pretty damn preem books themselves if I do say so myself. But then we went to our main plans of the night and saw Madame Web. Small funny story of me looking at my phone during the previews and them nudging me saying look at the screen whereupon I fangirl out that Advent Bloody Children is on the screen. But as for the movie itself it was a good nice time that was a decent movie overall. Enjoyable at some parts and dull at others it’s not nearly bad as it was made out to be and I would say a enjoyable 7/10 or even 8/10. But of course while that was the highlight of the weekend I didn’t even mention that update from last week I finally did it. I finished the MSQ for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. All I gotta say is it was absolutely beautiful As for today and the week ahead it’s gonna be some more Cold Steel IV and trying out P3R and over the week just a general rotation of games. Some Granblue Fantasy Relink, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Post Endwalker Patch Quests, Another Code, Rain Code, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and of course the Side Order for Splatoon 3 when that comes out on Thursday too. It’s mostly just a holding pattern if you ask me this week as I feel we’ll get a shadow drop of Hi Fi Rush at a partner showcase this week so I got some Eshop money saved for that and of course the Most Anticipated Game of the Year Final Fantasy VII Rebirth just the week after this. And man I really can’t wait for Princess Peach Showtime ahahah.Of course anime of the week gotta go to Frieren, Delicious in Dungeon, Urusei Yatsura, High Card and Hokkaido Gals. Podcasts of course gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into the Aether, and Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind. I’ve actually run into some issues with my job so this week I don’t have as many podcasts to say I listened to because really I didn’t listen to much. Of course we wouldn’t be complete without a big special shout-out to someone very much SPECIALZ my good friend over at twitch.tv/akibread. Gonna be honest they streamed some NMH this week and I’m just saying if y’all want a fun time I think I might be friends with IRL Shinobu from NMH? I don’t know if that don’t get you to check them out I don’t know what will. As always y’all keep safe, be good to each other and have a awesome weekend. And Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 515
Well this week is a pretty proud WAYP. Because yes as stated in last weeks entry I did play the majority of the week Trails of Cold Steel IV and feel properly stuck in. And not only made good progress I feel but more importantly to me on a personal level I finally did it. After avoiding it for 2+ years I finally went back to FFXIV and conquered the quest I seemingly couldn’t overcome. I hope my Ma is looking down and smiling. As for this week tho oh boy well we got the Super Bowl today and since that means the end of Trails Football Sunday’s as I call them I think I’ll tackle some Cold Steel IV today as well but I definitely wanna dabble in some other Nintendo games this week like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed and Another Code Recollection. Otherwise in terms of Nintendo games I’m looking forward to Mario Vs Donkey Kong at the end of the week but otherwise my main goal is rotating the games previously mentioned and some more Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink and also my goal of the week which is gonna be to see if I can wrap all of the base Endwalker MSQ in FFXIV by next weekend. Which is to say the stuff that came out when Endwalker launched back in 2021 not any of the post Endwalker patches. Anime of the week of course gotta go to the usual beauties like Urusei Yatsura, Mashle, Solo Leveling, Undead Unluck, Shangri La Frontier, and High Card. All absolutely amazing. And of course Podcasts of the week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Windbreaker, Firelink, Sacred Symbols, Summon Sign, Minnmax and Nextlander. Of course we always gotta give the love and shoutout to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread who was a major motivator and help in me overcoming Endwalker. As always y’all have a excellent rest of your weekend and Happy Gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 514
This may be a pretty simple WAYP this week ahahaha. Mainly being that on the Switch I’m really only planning on one game for the foreseeable future and that’s Trails Of Cold Steel IV. I dropped off it about 3 years ago and I was really dragging my feet on going back to it but I did so last night and it wasn’t as bad as I felt it would be so I think similarly to how I did Trails To Azure last year ima just hunker down and slam it out this month and maybe next month. Then I can enjoy Reverie and hopefully have both done by the time Daybreak comes out and hey then I can maybe have a trails game on my GOTY list for once hahaha. Tho seeing as how my day off is slightly changed this week I think I’ll finally maybe go back to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed. Over on the PS5 it’ll be a simple rotation of the new darlings really. Tekken 8, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Granblue Fantasy Relink. All absolutely excellent and beautiful games. Of course I have plans to snag a copy of Persona 3 Reload this month at some point but this all leads up to the end of the week when Saturday the 10th I head back to Endwalker in Final Fantasy XIV thanks to my dear best friend helping me out with a month of subscription paid for after the website just refused to let me. So yeah I would mainly say that’s the two big focuses of the week. Carving out a crap ton of Cold Steel IV and Endwalker hahaha. As for anime of the week the strong shoutouts continue with The Witch and The Beast, Mashle, Urusei Yatsura and of course my absolutely strong Sunday lineup of Solo Leveling, Shangri La Frontier and Undead Unluck. As for the podcasts of the week well you know it’s the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, RPGsites Tetracast, Into The Aether, Minnmax, Remap Radio, Sacred Symbols and Summon Sign from Last Stand Media, Windbreaker and Firelink from Second Wind and Nextlander. All seriously excellent. As always gotta give a shout-out to a lovely friend as always to my friend over at twitch.tv/akibread with their excellent streams as always. And take care of yourselves folks, be excellent to each other, stay safe and have a excellent weekend. And happy gaming.
