Sequel

My transformation into a Blood-Starved Beast intensifies..

That list is bookended by two of my all time favorite games. On an unrelated note looking forward to bloodborne 10 year anniversary next spring.

Fun fact: Mark Cerny also worked on Knack too

Knack 3 confirmed!

Well I was disappointed at the roguelike format, but I did love into the breach. Think this deserves another look..

Where art thou deareast Monika? Between the cracked cosmos and my infinite heart..

It's... beautiful.

Oh why not. Happy to give this another spin. One of the better open world games Imo

@yazzika someone in the comments mentioned it so I checked. In the steam listing for the game it mentions roguelike. Took me by surprise

I just found out this is a roguelike.. utterly heartbroken.

Good list, finally picked up Dredge and it really has is hooks in me.

MechWarrior just can't seem to capture any magic. They always look so good, but I bounce off them fairly sharpish.

Hang on... they closed?! So no Knack 3?!

Just supported them with $2,000. People are too hard on them. I loved their Sony zombie game set in Oregon.. though the motorbike got a bit annoying towards the end.

Very rarely buy DLC.. but I'd be in day one of they sold expansions.

If it reviews well I might buy day 1, been massively back into tactics games past few months.

This all sounds quite exciting to me personally. I love their games, but wouldn't mind a bit more game to them.

That's the spirit!

He'll be tough to beat, his voice work was fantastic, very iconic.

There are throwaway ideas in this game that could be whole other games. It's mind boggling.

@LowDefAl True, and if it failed again it would be even more embarrassing and costly. Failing once is bad enough, but twice would be something else entirely.

John linneman of DF mentioned this also, but I think it would be amazing if this game came back, but making fun of itself in a kind of 4th wall breaking way. If it just absorbed all the meme energy and leaned into it. Would never happen, and would be incredibly difficult to pull off.. but the reward could be something totally unique and meta.

Sparking Zero sounds like an energy drink I'd almost certainly mix with Absolut vodka.. and I'm totally down for it (as the kids say).

Never played the original, but I'll be 100% playing this. Though it will have to wait a year or two

Literally bought this couple hours ago on PC when i saw it hit my golden price. Heard good things.

Looks fantastic, but I can't justify 100 hours for a while. Ive been playing persona 3 on and off for 2 years, it's so long

Never played the original, so was silently hoping this would be good.

Damn, now I want the pearl finish.

Been wanting to play this.. 100% a steam deck jobby though for me

These games go on firesale within the year. I know I can pick it up for 59c around black Friday so why buy now?

What did they do to my girl?

Performance wasn't 100% but the production values were great. How many times are they going to try and reboot this title?

Another botched pre order (from the punters perspective). What could fix this?

Someone on here mentioned having them sent to actual stores, in US could be partnered with Best Buy for example and just have people queue, sure you could still resell, but at least forces people who want it out? Problem there is you'd have to spread them around the entire country (countries) so most locations would only have a few.

Why not just ask for payment upfront? What am I missing with this? This would at least stop people just sitting on them with their credit cards? Maybe a combination of a down payment + looking at gaming history? I'm lost with it to be honest, seems to be a snag with every angle? I know these were limited but they definitely could have used more of these.

As someone who tried to get one, this sparks a shiver of joy, but ultimately the wounds will take time to heal.

Hideous. Plus we already have the games??

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't cancel my ps5 pro pre order?

Normally all this talk would be a huge turn off for me, but with Kojima I have zero concern about creative integrity. Just feel lucky knowing he's cooking up something new. Love the guy.

Talking to some Japanese folks: another unspoken issue is the PS5 console itself is too big to fit in people's apartments unless you double it up as a coffee or dining table, which being an electronic device opens up all sorts of safety issues.

Ordered standard.. but honestly it was fomo from not getting the anniversary edition. I'll probably cancel it.. only one problem, the stand and drive already shipped. The horror!

Now if Lando or Han had been the protagonist I might have considered this. The character they went with never felt 'outlaw' to me from what I saw, would love to have played a real charming scoundrel, maybe even a cantina scum alien. Maybe I'm being a bit sexist deep down, but the character felt like a flat gen-z type 'outlaw' with well written motivation but all the edges sanded off. Just felt meh. But then bland video game leads are nothing new.

@NEStalgia VR Mods?! I have to try this

Turned out it was as good as it looked in those early trailers. One of my GOTY, was a wonderful surprise.. was expecting it to be average

I had just installed HFW ready to play.. but I think I'll wait now and do another run of this first. 10bucks for the upgrade is nice

@NomNom this would probably be the best way. I can't think of a better way actually. People who really want them can queue up.

I didn't stand a chance in my timezone, had been completely cleared out.

Anyone get a ps5 pro anniversary edition? No? me neither..

Don't blame them. I didn't renew ps+ when it ran out. Haven't had it since.

Trick is to release games lots of people buy. That way you can recoup project cost and be in profit.

@jrt87 those pc specs were terrifying. This might be something I end up playing in a couple of generations

As someone who has built PCs for 15 years and built a decent one fairly recently, my opinion is, whilst expensive.. it is actually not a terrible deal. The price would just about cover the GPU and ram if you're lucky, not to mention the plethora of other parts you need, including some you could easily forget to price in (OS). I haven't seen the Pro performance yet, but would think you'd be hard pushed to build anything that comes close for even several hundred more. The stickler for me is the no disc drive, it just makes it just annoys me you have to buy an add on to play all of your disc games and doesn't feel right.
