@Ralizah For the UK, Atlus games are priced very inconsistently on the 3DS store. Some are still full price, while others in the same franchise can be heavily discounted. Soul Hackers is oddly cheap at £9, so at that price I'll snag it without a second thought.

It's a cool trailer. Looks like some Persona influence with that vibrant style.

Now we know what this announcement is, I'll probably go and get the first game on the Nintendo 3DS eshop before that closes for good.

The demo was alright, but seemed to be lacking the spark that games such as Shin Megami or Persona have. The grinding and the lack of enemy variety are my main concerns, so I'll probably skip this one.

Some news on possible upcoming expansions would be cool. It would be fun to revisit this game again, as long as they don't screw up the release of new content.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. I've beaten the main Sept-something route, and am now on the other Tri-thingy story.

Also playing some Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, and I'll find a new game to get started with as well.

I keep misreading the title as Stfu, which makes me expect something cringy. Have to keep reminding myself that it's actually a cool martial arts game.

The high difficulty is making me more interested here, as I want to see if I can overcome the challenge. If it runs fine on PS4, then I'll be tempted to try it out.

As long as they nail the single player experience, I'll probably get this. I wonder where the game will be set. Returning to Vice City or the Las Vegas style place from San Andreas would be fun, or they could mix things up with a brand new location.

I don't exactly play racing games that often, so some annoyance like this is enough to put me off considering it. Requiring an online connection is lame, as there'll be issues whenever there's server troubles or maintenance, or once they decide to shut down the servers.

Looks great. Nice pixel style whilst looking fun to play. It doesn't sound like they really need the kickstarter money though, so I'll hold off until it releases and then perhaps buy it then.

I'd love for this to be true, but I'll wait for official confirmation before getting excited.

That looks good so far. I'm very fond of 3D action adventure games, so hopefully this one will turn out great.

No reason to blow this tweet out of proportion until if and when backwards compatibility is officially announced. There was also a lot of rumours before the PS5 launch about BC, but that naturally didn't happen.

381 hours played, with my top 5 being:

1. Zanki Zero: Last Beginning (88 hours)
2. Subnautica (56 hours)
3. Yakuza Kiwami (55 hours)
4. Hitman 3 (55 hours)
5. Cyberpunk 2077 (45 hours)

Lovely. Great to have a way to revisit Elusive Targets. And I can hardly wait to play around with that Freelancer mode. I'm excited to get back into Hitman again.

Nice. It was a very fun game to play, so I'm excited for new content.

I can't say, it heavily depends on the game. There's lots of long games that I love, but there's also plenty of short and sweet games. Trying to blindly say that X hours is the optimum length doesn't make much sense.

That's a cool tech demo. The fantasy setting would be quite a different tone to their other games, but I could see this working well.

Yakuza Kiwami 1, with it I'm clearing up any interesting side content that I missed. Also close to getting 100% with Sly 3.

And I've recently started with Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. It's good so far, though I prefer the story beats from the first game.

The purple looks great, but not $55 great.

Too late for me. I'll catch up on the announcements the next morning whilst skipping past the awards. Hopefully there'll be some good surprises to wake up to.

I'll wait for official confirmation before getting excited. Before the PS5 release, there were a lot of strong rumours saying that it would be backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games. Disappointing that it never happened.

@lolwhatno This game was hugely popular at launch. It was inevitable that the excitement for this game would quieten down to a more reasonable level. There's still plenty of players though, and it's nice to see the developers continue to support the game.

I kind of lost interest at Season 5. The jungle theme and its content didn't really click with me. Party Spectacular could be great, depending on the new games of course. So I'll give it a try once it's out.

That was unexpected. I thinking they would wind down on the new content once the last season of sin ends.

New maps and story is great to have. And hopefully the Elusive Target Arcade will let us replay the targets as many times as we want.

Still playing Persona 3 Portable, and I was planning on getting started with Yakuza Kiwami 1. Might find another game to get started on as well.

Soundtrack is my biggest concern. The licensing issues are a complex area, and it would be a surprise if they managed to keep every original track. But as of now, there's no clue as to how many songs will be cut.

I like the art style. It keeps the original style whilst improving them. And £55 isn't really unreasonable for 3 great games.

I'll give Squid Game a try once all the hype dies down. When it's this popular, my expectations will be set too high for it.

Bloodshore looks fun, and I do enjoy the FMV style games.

The Lives system was the big reason why I stopped playing the Vita game. Being expected to clear all those levels in one sitting with very limited lives just wasn't fun to me. Glad to hear this one doesn't use lives.

Good to see them resolve this issue.

Deltarune Chapter 2 now that's been released. Also continuing on with Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, Persona 3 Portable, and Professor Layton and Pandora's Box.

That lame. I only put up with this for Hitman as I'm super fond of that series, but I don't care about GT enough to support this practice with GT7.

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.

Weird, but I like the style of it.

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.

Oh wow, that is brilliant.

That is brilliant. That is making the game all the more tempting.

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.

Jungle is a good idea for a theme. I'll give the new stuff a try.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

Finishing off Subnautica. Also starting playing the Wii games Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Okami.

Looks cheesy, but I'd probably quite enjoy this.

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.

Despite all the complaining about E3 from this site, there's actually quite a few games here that I'd be interested in playing.

@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.
