Those specs seem fine to me. I doubt the 30 vs 60FPS situation is going to matter much for what was originally a PS1 game. I've never played any Metal Gear before, so this collection seems like the perfect place to jump into it.
Definitely want to one day, but I'd need to either upgrade to a PS5 or upgrade my PC. I enjoyed the base game at launch even on PS4, but I wouldn't want to replay it without the new update on more powerful hardware.
I'm definitely excited for Decapolice, hopefully that'll turn out great. Though, the Level-5 game I'm most excited for is the upcoming Professor Layton game over on the Switch. I'm very fond of the Layton series, so hoping that'll be a return to form.
I played a lot of Sims 1 & 3 (missed out on 2), but Sims 4 never really clicked with me. My main issue was that 4's base game was very underwhelming. The various expansion packs might have helped fix that, but the huge cost of the DLCs put me right off.
More of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, it's been excellent so far. Also might be able to finish off Hogwarts Legacy. I've finished the main story, so I'll just do any interesting looking side quests, then that'll probably be it for me.
I'm interested, but it depends on how great the single player experience is. Rockstar usually has a wonderful single player, though they have lost some of their writers, and GTA Online was a goldmine for them, so I'm a little cautious about GTA VI.
Personally I don't get all the hate. It's an excellent game, and I didn't have any way of replaying it until now, so I'm interested. Not sure though if I'll get it at full price, or wait for a sale.
I'm only just learning that it's an RPG game. I was thinking it was more of a strategy or tactical game. Somehow the release of this game had completely slipped past me,but with the positive reception, I should probably look into it.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I'm somewhat surprised to see that it runs fine on my PC, so I'll be playing through that. Also continuing with Hogwarts Legacy, and perhaps also find another game to start.
The PS2 NFS Most Wanted was brilliant. I'd certainly love to see a remake of it. The series sure has its ups and downs though, so there's always the risk of them messing up any remakes.
Nier: Replicant. I've already played through the entire story, but I'm just one trophy away from the Platinum trophy. It's a brilliant game, but I do not recommend going for the platinum, as the trophies do get rather tedious.
Also want to get back into Hogwarts Legacy. Even though I really enjoy the game when I'm playing it, I find myself keep getting distracted with other games and not playing enough of this.
And it's probably a good weekend for me to get started on something else, though I'm not sure what yet.
I would have been okay with that price if it was a definitive version, combining the extra content from P3P and FES. But as it stands, I'll likely wait either for a sale or an updated version.
I get that Metal Gear Solid is the recommended place for newcomers to start, but I'm actually very tempted to try out the original Metal Gear first once this collection releases.
I absolutely loved the flashy sci-fi in the original movie, though I didn't care so much for the ecological dystopia of the second movie. Either way, it's great to see more Blade Runner things.
Even a port of it would be great, as it's not available on modern platforms. Whilst RDR2 is the better game from a technical standpoint, I personally enjoyed the story and characters more in RDR1.
My experience at launch on a base PS4 was that it had just the one crash, though it did have lots of performance issues and some quest triggers not activating properly. So from my playthrough it didn't seem as bad as some reports made it out to be, though I won't defend the game either. It certainly shouldn't have released in that state.
Doesn't work for me either. Maybe it's a US specific thing? If I try redeeming it on my PS4, it gives the error: "This voucher code can't be redeemed in your region. Check the details of your voucher. (WS-45480-1)"
Looks promising, though I'm not sold on it just yet. It sounds as if dating has a much higher focus than I was expecting, which could possibly get awkward.
That's an issue for me. I went with the male protagonist route for P3P, so I really wanted to do the female protag route next time around. It'll certainly make me more hesitant on whether or not to get this remake.
It was a strong showcase for Xbox. There was quite a lot I was interested in. Hopefully Sony has a bunch of things in the works behind the scenes, as their recent PS showcase didn't inspire much confidence from me.
The Xbox showcase can be great for third party announcements, so I'm very much looking forward to today's show. Plus I skipped the leaked trailers, so I'm eager to see the Persona 3 remake in action, assuming it's part of this show.
The music choice was atrocious, and I dislike the Fortnitey art style for the characters, but the actual gameplay looked fun. That trailer is worthy of a dislike from me, but that doesn't mean I'll dislike the final game.
I'll hold off on watching until the official reveal, but I'm certainly eagerly excited to see Persona 3 Remake. Tactical games aren't normally my thing, but it wouldn't be impossible for a Persona 5 themed tactical game to win me over.
I'd imagine the the update will be a tricky Elder Dragon from the past games, and a couple of alternate forms for monsters. Though, it would be great if they throw a curveball and add something truly surprising.
Other than a few minor niggles, I had an absolute blast with Rise. I'm excited to see what the future holds for the series.
That's a big surprise. Ratchet & Clank has always been exclusive to Playstation consoles, plus Rift Apart was the poster child for PS5's special SSD. I'd love to see the system requirements for it, though it's unlikely to run on my ageing PC without some upgrades.

Re: One of the Worst Games of All Time Is Coming to PS5, PS4, And You Won't Believe the Merch
I'd be half-tempted to try out the digital version if it was going for cheaply enough. Can't say I'm eager to get any of that merch though.

Looks great so far. It's certainly one to watch out for.
Re: The Sims 5 Confirmed Free-to-Play, The Sims 4 to Receive Continued Support in Tandem

Re: GTA 6 Release Window Seemingly Narrowed Down to Fiscal Year 2024

Re: Red Dead Redemption Out on PS4 This Month, Not a Remaster
Nice. It's great that there'll finally be a way to play it on a modern PS console.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 487
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I'm somewhat surprised to see that it runs fine on my PC, so I'll be playing through that. Also continuing with Hogwarts Legacy, and perhaps also find another game to start.

Shame. If that's true, then I'll wait for a major discount before getting it then.

Re: SEGA Survey Suggests Persona 3 Reload to Retail for $69.99
@rachetmarvel I wanted to try out the female main route and The Answer though, so their exclusion is an issue for me.

Re: CD Projekt Exec Suggests Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Not That Bad, Actually, Dunking 'Became a Cool Thing'

@Shepherd_Tallon Thanks, that worked for me too.
And in case anyone was wondering, even those without PS Plus can redeem these avatars.

Cool trailer. I always love weird, surreal stuff like that. It'll be interesting to see what kind of game they release first.

Re: Final Monster Hunter Rise Event Will Stream on 7th June
I'd imagine the the update will be a tricky Elder Dragon from the past games, and a couple of alternate forms for monsters. Though, it would be great if they throw a curveball and add something truly surprising.
Other than a few minor niggles, I had an absolute blast with Rise. I'm excited to see what the future holds for the series.
Re: Summer Game Fest Showcase Brings Us Two Hours of Announcements and Updates
2 hours, that'll be a lot of filler. There should at least be some exciting announcements in it hopefully.
Re: PS5 Showpiece Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Jumps to the PC Dimension in July
That's a big surprise. Ratchet & Clank has always been exclusive to Playstation consoles, plus Rift Apart was the poster child for PS5's special SSD. I'd love to see the system requirements for it, though it's unlikely to run on my ageing PC without some upgrades.
