I'd been tempted to pick up Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim before their discounts expire today, but I might wait until the next sale. There's already enough games that I'm in the middle of playing as it is.
Quickly filling up that pricey SSD was one of my biggest concerns about getting a PS5, so being able to back up games to external storage is a great addition.
I'm making good progress on the village requests with Monster Hunter Rise. Also want to head back to Super Mario Galaxy 2 and finally beat the penultimate world. And going to start working on the achievements for Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls now I've finished the story. Also doing some rhythm game fun with IA/VT Colorful.
This does look fairly interesting. I wonder if it's one of these sequels where you should play the previous game first, of if it doesn't matter. The original DS game is way too rare and expensive these days, and I don't really like using touch controls on the Switch for the remake.
The Collector is the first brand new elusive target to Hitman 3, so that's cool. Plus it's in Dartmoor, which is a good map. I missed The Politician from the Hitman 2 days, so it'll be fun to do that.
I haven't brought the Sin expansion, it doesn't seem worth it at full price (especially as there was already a Deluxe expansion). So I'll skip the Greed stuff.
While it's unfortunate that PS fans have to pay full price for this while Xbox fans get it bundled with Game Pass, it does seem like this story is being blown out of proportion. Sony will still undoubtedly be doing well from the deal, and Microsoft will be paying for the Game Pass privileges.
Lots of Monster Hunter Rise for me. Also continuing with Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. I've reached the end of Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, so time to see about getting the remaining achievements. And I was also thinking about beginning Persona 2.
It's an awful situation for the developers involved, and paints Sony in a bad light. A few months notice when there's still developers actively releasing games for the Vita is far too little notice.
I liked the main game, but didn't have any interest in playing it multiplayer. For the kinds of games that CDPR makes, I'm not convinced that tacked on multiplayer modes will be any good. The single player experience is what they're best at.
3 months is rather short notice for the PS3/PSP games. Sony should have gave much more warning about that. As for the Vita, it seems too early to be closing down its store.
I had been using that old store link. It was easier to find what I'm looking for on it, and had a wishlist system (though they've very recently added wishlists to the new store).
Monster Hunter Rise is the big game for me. I might break up the hunts with some Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, or some Fall Guys.
Thumper, Enter the Gungeon, and Rez Infinite are the ones I'm most interested in trying out. Astro Bot and Moss also look wonderful, though I don't have PSVR.
There's quite a few PS2 games that I wouldn't mind replaying, and some PS3 games that I'd like to try out. Some sort of official emulator would be lovely.
The better the graphics the better, but I never get too bothered by graphics limitations. The concept of avoiding a game just because it's 30fps instead of 60 seems alien to me.
Seems weird to focus on the frames per second boost in the headline instead of the bigger news about the expansions finally releasing on PlayStation consoles.
Anyway, Seal the Deal was so-so, but Nyakuza Metro is really good.
Because if a game was wonderful the first time around, it'll be fun again when revisiting it. Admittedly I've not been replaying games much recently just because there's too many unplayed games I'd like to try.
I didn't know there was a games showcase coming up soon, so that's a pleasant surprise. The Gollum game might be interesting for me, so seeing gameplay footage would be good.
Monster Hunter Rise demo, and I'm failing badly against Magnamalo in it. Also playing some more Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and IA/VT Colorful. And I was going to give Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water a try.
Smaller but a higher density of stuff to interact with is my preference. GTA handles the large worlds quite well though, since driving about through it is rather fun.
Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls, hoping to get lots more played this weekend as I was busy with other stuff last week. Also doing some more Your Turn to Die and Super Mario Galaxy.
I'm also in the mood for starting something new, maybe Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water (aka Fatal Frame), or perhaps a rhythm game.
Not yet. I only started with the Yakuza series late last year by playing Yakuza 0. My next one will be Yakuza Kiwami 1, so Like A Dragon is going to have a long wait.
Hitman 3, going to check out the legacy elusive target that's appeared. Also playing some Rayman Legends and Super Mario Galaxy, and was going to start playing Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls later.
I could see this decision going either way. They'll make a lot of money from selling these games on other platforms, but exclusivity would drive sales of Xbox consoles and Game Pass. Maybe they'll aim to get the best of both worlds and do timed exclusivity.
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalyse. I'm at the final dungeon of the game, but it's a huge one with challenging enemies. Also playing a lot of Rayman Legends and some Hitman 3.

Re: Resident Evil Village Demo Confirmed, Early Access for PS5 and PS4 Players
Resident Evil is usually too scary for me, but the tall woman has me interested. I've give the demo a try.
Re: PS Store Spring Sale Refresh Adds Another 250 PS5, PS4 Discounts

Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a PS5 Remake of The Last of Us?
No, I've never really been interested in that series.
Re: NEO: The World Ends With You Revives the Beloved RPG on PS4 in July
This does look fairly interesting. I wonder if it's one of these sequels where you should play the previous game first, of if it doesn't matter. The original DS game is way too rare and expensive these days, and I don't really like using touch controls on the Switch for the remake.
Re: Elusive Targets Return in Hitman 3 on PS5, PS4 This Month

Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
While it's unfortunate that PS fans have to pay full price for this while Xbox fans get it bundled with Game Pass, it does seem like this story is being blown out of proportion. Sony will still undoubtedly be doing well from the deal, and Microsoft will be paying for the Game Pass privileges.
Re: Sony Game MLB The Show 21 Will Be Free with Game Pass on Xbox, Full-Price on PS5, PS4
Wow, this is a lot of comments. It's a multiplatform game that's heading to Gamepass, which doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 370

Re: Many PS Vita Devs Cancel Projects After Sudden PS Store Closure
It's an awful situation for the developers involved, and paints Sony in a bad light. A few months notice when there's still developers actively releasing games for the Vita is far too little notice.
Re: CD Projekt RED Cancels Dedicated Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer Game
I liked the main game, but didn't have any interest in playing it multiplayer. For the kinds of games that CDPR makes, I'm not convinced that tacked on multiplayer modes will be any good. The single player experience is what they're best at.
Re: Mini Review: I Saw Black Clouds - Interactive Thriller Won't Be Winning Any Oscars
I do like their other games, and this seems like more of the same. So it's probably something I'd very much enjoy even despite its issues.
Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Free DLCs Leaked, Suggest Multiple System Expansions and More
If the free DLC is anything substantial, I'll check it out once it releases.
Re: Sony Confirms PS3, PS Vita, PSP Store Closures, Downloads Will Be Retained
3 months is rather short notice for the PS3/PSP games. Sony should have gave much more warning about that. As for the Vita, it seems too early to be closing down its store.

Re: Here's Your First Look at The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Gameplay
It looks alright I guess. It could still be fun, but I'm not expecting anything amazing from this.
Re: Why You Should Download These Free Play At Home Games
Thumper, Enter the Gungeon, and Rez Infinite are the ones I'm most interested in trying out. Astro Bot and Moss also look wonderful, though I don't have PSVR.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a PS1, PS2, or PS3 Emulator for PS5?
There's quite a few PS2 games that I wouldn't mind replaying, and some PS3 games that I'd like to try out. Some sort of official emulator would be lovely.
Re: Hitman 3 Reveals Seven-Part DLC Campaign, Starting Next Week
Looks cool, but £30 is quite pricey for that. And worth bearing in mind that there was also a paid deluxe pack as well.
I'll wait for the full roadmap of the Season of Greed to be revealed before deciding whether I can stomach this cost or not.
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Has Turned Me Into a Total 60FPS Snob
The better the graphics the better, but I never get too bothered by graphics limitations. The concept of avoiding a game just because it's 30fps instead of 60 seems alien to me.
Re: A Hat in Time Doffs Its Cap at 60 Frames-Per-Second PS5 Update
Seems weird to focus on the frames per second boost in the headline instead of the bigger news about the expansions finally releasing on PlayStation consoles.
Anyway, Seal the Deal was so-so, but Nyakuza Metro is really good.
Re: PS3, PS Vita, and PSP Online Stores to Close This Summer, Says New Report
That's disappointing if true. I'll have to have a look on the Vita store later and see if there's anything more I still want to buy on it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 368
I'm doing some more Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, and Your Turn To Die.
Re: SMT III: Nocturne HD Remaster Dated for 25th May on PS4
Nice. I might get it at some point, but I'm in no rush due to completing SMT IV Apocalypse recently.
Re: Poll: What Free PS4 Games Are You Most Excited to Play?
I do like rhythm games, so Thumper. Enter the Gungeon also looks fun, and maybe Subnautica too.
Re: The Wishlist Feature Has Returned to PS Store on Web Browsers
Lovely. I find wishlists to be rather useful, so it's nice to have them return.
Re: PlayStation Players Get 10 Free PS4 Games This Spring, Including Horizon Zero Dawn
That's quite a genorous giveaway. I take it PSVR isn't required to redeem Thumper? If so, I'll give it a try.
Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?
Because if a game was wonderful the first time around, it'll be fun again when revisiting it. Admittedly I've not been replaying games much recently just because there's too many unplayed games I'd like to try.
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum to Debut First Footage at Future Games Show Spring Showcase
I didn't know there was a games showcase coming up soon, so that's a pleasant surprise. The Gollum game might be interesting for me, so seeing gameplay footage would be good.
Re: Balan Wonderworld's Day One PS5, PS4 Patch to Address Some Demo Issues
The gameplay in the demo wasn't that fun. The big problems are on a fundamental level, which can't easily be fixed without redesigning much of it.
It's a shame because I'd love to see more 3D platformers being created.
Re: Fall Guys Season 4 Trailer Teases Futuristic New Levels, Among Us Crossover
Very good trailer. I'm a big fan of neon filled futuristic settings, so I'm excited for this one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 367
Monster Hunter Rise demo, and I'm failing badly against Magnamalo in it. Also playing some more Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and IA/VT Colorful. And I was going to give Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water a try.
Re: Here's Your First Sneak Peek at Fall Guys Season 4
That clip does look mighty fun. Now I'm tempted to get another month of PS+ so I can play this again.
Re: PS Store Prequels & Sequels Sale Has Few Noteworthy PS4 Deals
Ace Attorney is great stuff.
Re: Soapbox: How Yakuza Proves Bigger Open Worlds Aren't Always Better
Smaller but a higher density of stuff to interact with is my preference. GTA handles the large worlds quite well though, since driving about through it is rather fun.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 366
Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls, hoping to get lots more played this weekend as I was busy with other stuff last week. Also doing some more Your Turn to Die and Super Mario Galaxy.

Re: Poll: Have You Played Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and What Review Score Would You Give It?
Not yet. I only started with the Yakuza series late last year by playing Yakuza 0. My next one will be Yakuza Kiwami 1, so Like A Dragon is going to have a long wait.
Re: Hitman 3 Sends Agent 47 on an Easter Egg Hunt in March Update
Berlin is a great map, so I'm looking forward to returning to gather eggs. And I'll give the elusive target a go.
Re: Psychological FMV Thriller I Saw Black Clouds Casts PS4 Release Date
I've been recently getting into their previous FMV games, and this one is looking interesting.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 365
Hitman 3, going to check out the legacy elusive target that's appeared. Also playing some Rayman Legends and Super Mario Galaxy, and was going to start playing Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls later.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony's State of Play Livestream Meet Your Expectations?
That wasn't great. Kena is looking good at least.
Re: Fall Guys Season 4 Takes Those Bumbling Beans to the Future
Futuristic is a cool setting. I may have to get back into this game once season 4 releases.
Re: We May Learn What the Future Holds for Bethesda Next Month
I could see this decision going either way. They'll make a lot of money from selling these games on other platforms, but exclusivity would drive sales of Xbox consoles and Game Pass. Maybe they'll aim to get the best of both worlds and do timed exclusivity.

Re: Rainbow Six: Quarantine Patch Appears, Renamed Rainbow Six: Parasite
Parasite is a better name anyway. Quarantine would have been a boring name now after the real life quarantines.
Re: How Well Do You Know These PlayStation Couples This Valentine's Day?
5/10, though the Crash Bandicoot one was the only one I knew for sure.
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for PS4 Rated in Taiwan
Cool. More Ace Attorney is always a good thing.
Re: Lady Dimitrescu Designer Shocked by Social Media's Thirst for Resident Evil Village Villain
She's such an interesting character design, so it's great that she's getting a lot of attention.
