After Geoff's promise of a character you "won't believe" coming to Super Monkey Ball, getting a perfectly believable character like Morgana is a bit disappointing.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. I'm finishing off the final case. It's a good Ace Attorney game, better than I was expecting.
GTA: Chinatown Wars. Once I got used to the 2D top-down perspective, it's been fun. I've just completed the main story, though I'm not sure yet whether to go for 100% completion or not.
Earthbound. Playing through it for my very first time. It's a good RPG so far.
Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (aka Rhythm Heaven Fever). I've cleared all the main games and final remix, so there's just a few side games left for me to check out.
I'm also in the latter parts of Okami, and in the middle of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
Vice City was such a great setting in the original game. Very colourful and vibrant. As long as Rockstar nails the single player campaign, then I'll be excited for this. Not sure I like the idea of a Fortnite-style map though.
That limited movement thing is quite a cool twist for the Sloth update, though I still don't think the Season of Sin DLCs are worth the price. I'll have a go at the two elusive targets once they're available.
@get2sammyb I did read the article, that doesn't mean I agree with it. Nintendo had a great show, and Microsoft's was fairly average. The third party shows were disappointing, but I'll put it down partially due to the global pandemic over the last year.
I played it at launch, but it was sure in a bad state back then. If the patches have made things significantly better, then it's fair enough that it should be relisted in the store.
Eh, I feel like there might be a bit of bias here since Sony wasn't there. If they were there with an average show instead of Microsoft, I think this place would be singing E3's praises.
It still surprises me whenever I remember that the original game was on Game Boy Color. It can't have been easy to get it running on that system, they went all out with it.
That previous trailer was so good. That had fluid and intense combat, and seemed like it would be a lot of fun. In contrast, the battling in today's trailer just seems so bland.
There was also that 2B costume heading to Fall Guys. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games, and I do love to play some Fall Guys, so I'm excited for that.
I'll give it a watch or at least have it on in the background if I'm not too busy. There could be some interesting announcements, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.
Nice review. I'd likely have a lot of fun with this, though the price seems a bit high for a short game. Glad to know there's various side content, such as collectables and an arena.
I'm excited for it. Nintendo is bound to have some new games that appeal to me, and it'll be good to see what Microsoft's studios have been working on. And Devolver's streams are super entertaining.
As Sony is remaining quiet, it's looking less likely they'll have some announcements during this period. Hopefully we'll get a State of Play not too long afterwards.
My first time playing Ratchet and Clank was the demo of the original game, featuring Metropolis and Blackwater City. That was stunning first time around, especially with all the details in Metropolis.
Ratchet and Clank 2 (Locked and Loaded/Going Commando) was the first one I played fully, and it's still my favourite to this day. It nails the fine humour that the older games had, has great gameplay, and has some fun side activities and other things to mix it up.
I did miss the PS3 era games unfortunately. If I can ever be bothered to try out PS Now, then they might be worth a look.
Yes, Sony lied. Or at the very least, they were being intentionally misleading. The comments about generations came when Microsoft was getting flak for continuing to bring new titles to Xbox One. Those comments gave Sony some good publicity and made Xbox look bad. And yet, Sony ended up doing a similar strategy to Microsoft in this regard.
Personally I'm glad that there's still 1st party titles coming to PS4. But Sony definitely misled, and they deserve backlash from doing so.
Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim are quite tempting at that price. I'm also interested in the Mafia Trilogy, though it's considerably cheaper in the UK to get it from Currys PC World.
I've got a couple of endings left to get on the FMV game Late Shift for the platinum trophy. Also grabbing some more of my missed achievements in Danganronpa 2, and I'll be doing some post-game with Monster Hunter Rise.
Until Dawn was wonderful and Little Hope was fine as well, though I didn't bother with Man of Medan. I like these kinds of games, so glad to see they're making more of these.

Re: Hello Kitty Joins Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania as Premium DLC Character
All the DLC seems a bit much, and is kind of putting me off getting the game at launch. I might wait for a sale before getting the base game.
Re: Timothy's Night Is a Weird Noir PS5 Exclusive Platformer, And It's Out Now
Weird, but I like the style of it.
Re: Persona 5's Morgana Is Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania's Mysterious Character
After Geoff's promise of a character you "won't believe" coming to Super Monkey Ball, getting a perfectly believable character like Morgana is a bit disappointing.
Re: Weirdness: Fall Guys Cosplayer Umo to Be Immortalised In-Game After Living a Year in Costume
Oh wow, that is brilliant.
Re: Yes, Yakuza's Kiryu Will Be a Playable Character in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
That is brilliant. That is making the game all the more tempting.

Re: Fall Guys Season 5 Introduces Limited Time Events, New Rounds, and More on PS4
Jungle is a good idea for a theme. I'll give the new stuff a try.

Re: Talking Point: Was Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream Any Good?
Not a lot really interested me tbh. That Lost Judgement trailer is looking great, and Moss is looking fine for the VR players, but that's about it.
Re: GTA 6 Release Window Rumours Pick Up Steam
Vice City was such a great setting in the original game. Very colourful and vibrant. As long as Rockstar nails the single player campaign, then I'll be excited for this. Not sure I like the idea of a Fortnite-style map though.
Re: Pre-Order Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PS Store and Play the PS4 Game Today
That's quite a neat thing to do actually. It's only another month until the Director's Cut releases, so I may as well wait for that and then play it.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Bundles in New Island Expansion, Coming to PS5 and PS4
Awesome. I was always eager to get the original, but never got around to it. The Director's Cut is the perfect place for me to jump into this game.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Gets Age Rating for PS5, PS4
Ghost of Tsushima does look great. I haven't gotten around to buying it yet, so a Director's Cut would be the perfect place for me to jump into it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 382
Finishing off Subnautica. Also starting playing the Wii games Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Okami.
Re: Unfinished Atari Jaguar FMV Game American Hero Coming to Console
Looks cheesy, but I'd probably quite enjoy this.
Re: Hitman 3's Season of Sloth Is Chilling on PS5, PS4 Right Now
That limited movement thing is quite a cool twist for the Sloth update, though I still don't think the Season of Sin DLCs are worth the price. I'll have a go at the two elusive targets once they're available.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?
Despite all the complaining about E3 from this site, there's actually quite a few games here that I'd be interested in playing.
Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy
@get2sammyb I did read the article, that doesn't mean I agree with it. Nintendo had a great show, and Microsoft's was fairly average. The third party shows were disappointing, but I'll put it down partially due to the global pandemic over the last year.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Return to the PS Store on the 21st June
I played it at launch, but it was sure in a bad state back then. If the patches have made things significantly better, then it's fair enough that it should be relisted in the store.

Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Haunts PS5, PS4 This Year
I played this just a few months ago on Wii U. It was pretty decent overall.
Re: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania Rolls to PS5, PS4 on 3rd October
Lovely, the Monkey Ball games do look so much fun.
Re: All Five Shantae Games Are Hair-Whipping PS5, Including the Game Boy Color Original
It still surprises me whenever I remember that the original game was on Game Boy Color. It can't have been easy to get it running on that system, they went all out with it.
Re: Babylon's Fall Gets Smashed with Dislikes Upon Its Gameplay Return
That previous trailer was so good. That had fluid and intense combat, and seemed like it would be a lot of fun. In contrast, the battling in today's trailer just seems so bland.
Re: Babylon's Fall Slashes onto PS5 as Well as PS4, But Still No Release Date
Looks alright I guess. For a Platinum game, the combat does look a bit underwhelming here.
Re: Riddle This Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One PS5, PS4 Trailer
Could be great, obviously depends on how good the writing is in the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
Mostly just doing some Monster Hunter Rise and Subnautica. Might play some rounds of Fall Guys as well.
Re: Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Brings Cult Hit Visual Novel to PS5, PS4 with Extra Content
It's been on my radar for a long while now, so this seems like a good place for me to try it out.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live?
There was also that 2B costume heading to Fall Guys. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games, and I do love to play some Fall Guys, so I'm excited for that.
Elden Ring also looks excellent.
Re: Talking Point: Did Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live Blow You Away?
It was alright. Elden Ring was great to see, and I'm eager to unlock that 2B costume in Fall Guys.
Re: Elden Ring Dated for January 2022 on PS5, PS4 in New Trailer
Okay, I'm starting to see why people were hyped for this. It's looking pretty sweet.
Re: Turn Based JRPG Monark Announced for PS5, PS4, Developed by Ex-Shin Megami Tensei Staff
This could be great, I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. The Ego system with the combat sounds like a fun twist.
Re: What Time Is Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live?
I'll give it a watch or at least have it on in the background if I'm not too busy. There could be some interesting announcements, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5) - Intergalactic Stunner Puts PS5's Power on Display
Nice review. I'd likely have a lot of fun with this, though the price seems a bit high for a short game. Glad to know there's various side content, such as collectables and an arena.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Expect from E3 2021 Next Week?
I'm excited for it. Nintendo is bound to have some new games that appeal to me, and it'll be good to see what Microsoft's studios have been working on. And Devolver's streams are super entertaining.
As Sony is remaining quiet, it's looking less likely they'll have some announcements during this period. Hopefully we'll get a State of Play not too long afterwards.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 379
Hoping to get a bit more Subnautica played. Also doing some more Monster Hunter Rise, and should be able to get to the end of Man of Medan.
Re: Sony Celebrates the Evolution of Ratchet & Clank
My first time playing Ratchet and Clank was the demo of the original game, featuring Metropolis and Blackwater City. That was stunning first time around, especially with all the details in Metropolis.

Re: Check a Look: Devolver Digital Returns to E3 Season in 2021
Their shows are my personal highlights of E3. Looking forward to seeing what insanity they have this year.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony Lie About PS5?
Yes, Sony lied. Or at the very least, they were being intentionally misleading. The comments about generations came when Microsoft was getting flak for continuing to bring new titles to Xbox One.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Crash Rates Charted in Official CDPR Graph
Glad they're improving it, though I don't trust graphs that are missing the numbers.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 378
Playing some more Monster Hunter Rise as that recently got a new content update. Also started on Man of Medan, and I'll give Subnautica a try.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Horizon Forbidden West?
I'm in no rush to get it, but will likely pick it up at some point. That is assuming it doesn't have any major issues on PS4.
Re: Scarlet Nexus PS5, PS4 Demo Available to Download Now
This game had been flying under my radar, so I'll give the demo a try and see what it's like.
Re: PS Store Days of Play Sale Discounts 60 PS5 Games, 500 PS4 Games
Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim are quite tempting at that price. I'm also interested in the Mafia Trilogy, though it's considerably cheaper in the UK to get it from Currys PC World.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Not Expecting a PS5, PS4 Press Conference from PlayStation Next Month
There's various other gaming announcement events in June, so it would be a bit lame if Sony is quiet while the rest are hyping up their games.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West PS5 Gameplay Reveal This Thursday in New State of Play Livestream
Cool, this should be fun.
Re: PlayStation Fans Aren't Happy with This New Uncharted Movie Picture
Well, it is a movie based on a video game. People shouldn't be surprised if it ends up being bad.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 377
I've got a couple of endings left to get on the FMV game Late Shift for the platinum trophy. Also grabbing some more of my missed achievements in Danganronpa 2, and I'll be doing some post-game with Monster Hunter Rise.
Re: See the Various Planets You'll Visit in Latest Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Video
The planets are interesting, but Zurkon Jr sure is annoying.
Re: The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes Gets New Trailer, Gameplay Coming Next Week
Until Dawn was wonderful and Little Hope was fine as well, though I didn't bother with Man of Medan. I like these kinds of games, so glad to see they're making more of these.
