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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw's PS5 Revisit Now a Remaster Rather Than Remake
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.

That's a useful feature. I wouldn't ever blindly trust user reviews, but they can be useful to consider amongst other factors.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Locked at 30fps in PS5, PS4 Master Collection
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.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0?

Re: One of the Worst Games of All Time Is Coming to PS5, PS4, And You Won't Believe the Merch
