They're some superb outfits. The character designers have done a great job.

I'm curious to see if they can turn it around. It had a huge amount of hype at one point, but then people seemed to lose interest with it shutting down.

My ageing PC would struggle to run that. Both my PC along with my PS4 are starting to show their limitations more.

Crazy Taxi does seem like the kind of thing that's better suited to being a fun AA game instead of a huge budget AAA game, so that statement fills me with some apprehension. Of course, referring to it as AAA might just be some mindless marketing fluff, so I'm not too worried at this stage.

Mostly playing the Tomb Raider Remastered trilogy. I'm also playing through The Crew before the servers get shut down at the end of March. The Crew is similar to Need For Speed, but with the feel of a generic overworld Ubisoft game. I wouldn't recommend it.

Glad they did a good job with this collection. I'm itching to dive back into them once it releases.

It's common for my mum to fall asleep whilst a movie is on, so he might be correct here.

AAAA is a cringey moniker, and doesn't fill me with confidence about the quality of the game.

There's definitely some Xbox games that I'd like to play, but I'm not feeling positive about these rumours. Competition is my biggest concern, but it's also going to suck for those that bought into the Xbox ecosystem for particular exclusives. There's going to be more than a few people feeling like they've wasted their money.

I was getting some knock-off Nier vibes from the trailer, but that might be being too harsh on this game. The actual gameplay looks fun, so I'm hoping that Stellar Blade's story will stand up on its own.

Glad it's doing well. I'm still very behind on this series, so it may be years before I get to this one.

I was going to skip this title for now. The biggest reason is that I've only played the male protag route, so I was wanting to do the female protag route next time around in P3P. If they add some dlc for that or for the extra FES storyline, then I might reconsider.

It's been a terrible start to the year for the games industry in terms of job losses. Wishing those affected all the best.

Sega makes some great games, but their DLC practices are rather unpleasant, particularly with this and Persona. It certainly makes me less eager to buy their games.

I've still got some Like A Dragon games to play thorough before this title, so I'll wait until it's heavily discounted before considering getting it.

Glad they added an option with the controls. I'm very used to the classic tank controls, so I'll stick mostly with them, with the more modern visuals.

@AdamNovice That trophy is confirmed to be in the game, according to the PS Blog post.

If they had 5 different weapons to choose from, 5 armour sets, and 4 extra abilities to choose from, that would be a hundred different combinations right there. Bragging about "hundreds" of different build permutations isn't a very impressive boast.

The games are great fun. I put in a lot of hours into World and Iceborne when they came out, and similarly with Rise and Sunbreak as well. Though I'm in no hurry to get back to Monster Hunter just yet, I am looking forward to Wilds.

Most of these are absolute bangers, but I voted for Persona 2: Eternal Punishment as that music feels so epic.

If we wanted to include spin-offs, then my absolute favourite Persona opening is for Persona 5 The Animation opening 1. An in terms of games, Persona 4 Arena is my favourite Persona game opening.

Tomb Raider remasters for me. I'd like to eventually play Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, though I've still got other games in that series to play through before worrying about getting the latest one.

He should be locked away. He's hacked multiple times, and expressed desire to continue committing cyber crimes, so it's not a one-off mistake. Plus the BBC article mentions he was violent whilst in custody.

Locking him away indefinitely in a hospital until he's no longer deemed a risk (and not for life as this article's headline wrongly says) seems like the only reasonable call here.

I'm not convinced this is a good idea to have by default. On some games, I might want my character to be OP and breeze through everything. And other times, I might want to suffer from an extremely tricky challenge.

I'm playing some more Hitman: World of Assassination and some Muse Dash, which are basically my current go-to games when I'm not playing anything specific. It's probably also a good weekend for me to get started on another game.

I've filled it in, though I wouldn't mind another survey that's more about what people like/dislike about the site.

I clocked in at 561 hours, having played 10 games. I obtained 269 trophies, including 3 platinums.

My most played are:
1) Hitman: World of Assassination
2) Nier Replicant
3) Hogwarts Legacy
4) Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise
5) Yakuza Kiwami 2

Kim looks great there, maybe even too great. The in-game artwork for Disco Elysium characters are a lot less flattering.

Impressive teaser trailer. Vice City looks so vibrant here.

It doesn't really seem like a contradiction. Microsoft would presumably love to have PS5 players paying for a Game Pass subscription, but I can't see Microsoft being able to achieve that any time soon.

£150 though, it's a bit too rich tea for my tastes.

Delaying until presumably 2024 isn't much of a surprise, as we were approaching the end of 2023 without a release date. The previous trailers have looked interesting, so I'm excited for this.

I'll give my vote to Hogwarts Legacy. I don't think it's necessarily the GOTY, but it deserved some nominations at the very least (particularly in the Best RPG category). It's also my favourite out of the very few new 2023 releases that I actually played, though I haven't yet got around to some of the other big names.

Wanting Roblox currencies or Call of Duty points for Christmas is an alien concept to me, but I admit I have no idea what kids are into these days.

Well, that's lame. I generally dislike this sort of censorship or self-censorship or whatever it is here. Plus, the original design sure does looks better.

I enjoyed the game back at launch. It's very fun. However, I'm not too fussed about heading back to it and trying out the new content.

I'm not really familiar with the original game, but that remake trailer does look superb. It's certainly caught my interest.

I'm mostly jumping around between Metal Gear 1, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, and Disco Elysium, though I'll also give the new Mario Kart 8 tracks a try.

At this point it doesn't look like they're releasing anything before 2024. As long as they don't rush these games out, then there's a few that I'm really looking forward to.

As much as I love the Like a Dragon games, I don't plan on playing this any time soon. There's still plenty of other games in the series before I reach this one, and that's assuming I don't burn out on the series before then.

Hopefully it'll be brilliant as always, though I'm a little bit cautious on this for now until we know more about the game.

Glad it's reviewing well, though it's likely going to be quite a while until I get around to this. There's still various other Like a Dragon games that I want to play before this one.

I'm playing some Hitman: World of Assassination, as they've added a brand new limited time elusive target. Also finishing off The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and getting started on Metal Gear.

I'm new to Metal Gear Solid, but I've picked up this collection. I'm excited to find out why people love this series.

I played the demo of this on PC, but didn't get on well with it. None of the characters clicked with me, and some of them were insufferable. The reviews, along with concerns about the pacing, aren't doing much to make me change my mind about this.

If I ever get a PS5, then it may as well be the newer slim model. However, since nearly all the games that I'm eager for have also been released on PS4 or PC, it hardly seems worth it for me. If things continue as is, then I'll be perfectly content with skipping this generation.

Remaster is fine with me. As I don't have any way to play the original, I'm eager to give the remaster a try, assuming they don't mess it up.

Though I enjoy the Like A Dragon games, I'm still very much behind on that series. So there's not a lot of point in me getting the new one straight away. I am excited for the Tomb Raider remasters though.

I'm not hyped yet, but that's purely because I never got round to playing the first one. The series is on my radar, I want to give them a try some day.

I played a bit of the first Commandos back at the time, though I never did get far in it. I was probably just too young for it back then. Might be something I'd enjoy more now if I tried it again.

That's amusing. I don't blame him for getting it wrong though. The useful part of the question, that it's a Sony console, was tucked away at the end. Plus, the mention of Push Square might have been distracting, since boxes are square.

That's a useful feature. I wouldn't ever blindly trust user reviews, but they can be useful to consider amongst other factors.
