Continuing tokyo mirage sessions #FE encore on the switch and after a few years of wanting to play it I finally started playing folklore on the ps3.
Also a bit of muse dash on the switch here and there

No XSX or ps5 this weekend.

Only have an opinion on the top 3 but I’d rank it
3.) hit n run
2.) arcade
1.) the game ps3 (the one released around the movie)
Personally.

@PenguinL the most annoying thing is all these dlc packs were already announced years ago when the game was announced. The only new info in these articles is what is part of these packs and that the mandalorian pack has been split into a separate s1 and s2 pack.

Playing tokyo mirage session #FE encore on the switch after I dropped the wiiU version about 3 years ago.
Also some races in forza horizon 5 on the XSX.

Beat bravely default on the 3ds yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to play bravely second and bravely default 2.

No ps5 this weekend.

@RevGaming before IGN ruined the out of 10 scoring system years ago 5 used to be average but ok, 4 below average but still ok and 6 above average ok. 7 being average makes no sense as average means middle ground and 5 is the middle of 0 and 10. Website’s have recently been going back to the classic 0-3 being bad, 4 to 6 being ok, 7 to 9 being great and 10 being as close to perfect as possible.

Relatively good month but I don’t mind the ps+ line up anymore. I get ps+ discounted, I mainly play games through UGP and my physical collection and once in a while I check all the ps+ games I activated and play/beat a few of them.

Ghostrunner is the game for me this month.

Despite the 5/10 I’m gonna buy it eventually anyway. Even if it plays badly if the game is hilarious I wanna play it. Point n click game humour is some of my favorite.

Gonna play this on UGP (day one release) and if I end up loving it I’ll buy it for ps5 for the collection.

My brother bought it but I personally have no interest in it. The marketing focusing on quantity over quality put me off.

Bring back pshome, make platinum trophies give rewards in pshome like a lego marvel platinum give a lego marvel set, a last of us platinum trophy gives a ellie outfit or appearance, make the game support VR and make it a live service.

@Zombie9ers PSTV sales fell under the psvita sales and that was a home console. Psp 2000 and 3000 sales fell under psp sales and those 2 where hybrids like the switch as they could be hooked up to a tv. Ps1 mini sales fell under ps1 sales and that had a tv attachment and car adapter.

Don’t act like switch sales Aren’t impressive because it has multiple models, that’s just silly.

Sony has a no duplicate ps+ games policy and technically tiny tina didn’t break it. Giving away the handsome collection would’ve broken it.
But TBF they also have a 75/100 minimum metacritic average score policy which has been broken countless times.

@PhhhCough if a game launches day 1 on UGP, and pushsquare writes an article about how that game sold on ps5 than UGP becomes relevant to both pushsquare and the article. Acting like it’s not is silly. People are more and more going multiplatform these days.

Sorry for my last comment, misread.

I’m moreso curious how well rainbow six performed on UGP and if that influenced sales to be down.

Already have ultimate game pass. It’s amazing. My platform of choice stays the ps5 and switch but my XSX is being used a lot too due to UGP.

Multiplatform is the way to go, always. I have every nintendo console and handheld except for the SNES and virtual boy, I have all 7 playstation consoles and handhelds and I have the og Xbox, the X360 and a Xbox Series X. Couldn’t be happier. (Also have a dreamcast, mega drive and CD-i. Still want a saturn, master system, neo geo pocket, neo geo, gamegear, atari jaguar, wonderswan and Nokia Ngage.)

Lost judgment (ps5) - great game so far. Planning on finishing up the yakuza series this year, besides this one I only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left. I also include fist of the north star which I already played.

Forza horizon 5 (XSX) - got the forza controller for Xmas from my brother which is a good excuse to get back into the game.

Pokemon shield + brilliant diamond (NS) - just shiny hunting.

My most anticipated game this month is actually pokemon legends arceus. Untill that game releases I’ll be playing lost judgment on my ps5 and forza horizon 5 on my XSX.

@JosephTheSheik I never said that.
Them being my least favorite SIE dev doesn’t equate me hating them. Also you can not be fond of the people behind a game and still like their games.
But I simply prefer other studios like BEND, insomniac, pixolpus, sucker punch and santa monica over ND. And that’s ok IMO 🤷‍♀️

@dudeAmarillo yeah, ND does make stuff I like but their recent cockyness + other SIE studios having just more varied and interesting output makes it the studio I’m the least curious about atm.

If the TLOU remake rumours are true that will only get worse. That game does not need a remake yet, there’s so many more sony IP’s from ps1, ps2, psp, ps3 and psvita that deserve a remake first.

While I love uncharted and TLOU I think ND is my least favorite of the SIE first party studios.

I want to know what pixolpus is working on.

I have UGP so I’m gonna play it through that. The game I really want to be added to EA play/UGP tho is lost on random. Wish that one got a physical release.

Voted for judgment because it’s my 7th favorite game of all time (at the moment) despite me not having played the “remaster” (AFAIK it’s just a port right?)

I haven’t played a lot of 2021 releases, having played most of them since I got UGP and an XSX but it we go multiplatform my favorite remake was brilliant diamond and my favorite remaster was jedi fallen order.

Playing the perfect christmas game. Spider-man miles morales. (It’s heavily themed around Christmas and set during Xmas)
Besides that probably guardians of the galaxy, xenoblade chronicles definitive edition and forza horizon 5.

One piece pirate warriors 3 (ps4/5) - played and platinumed this when it was new but decided to replay it.

Pokemon brilliant diamond (NS) - got 10 shiny buizel’s 3 days ago, really want shiny murkrow tho.

Scarlet nexus (XSX) - started playing this game, really fun. But on a break atm.

Have 3 games left this year until I fully beat 52 games which means 1 game weekly on average.

Oh boy, all 12 months are known. That means “this is clickbait” comments next month.

Scarlet nexus on UGP on the XSX. Enjoying it so far.

Minecraft on the ps5 with my brother. He wants to build a castle with me.

Pokemon brilliant diamond on the nintendo switch. Been radar hunting. Got 4 shiny nidoran (f) yesterday.

@Burntbreadman I checked. It’s missing 5 dlc characters. That’s definitely not a €90 difference.

Physical of this is europe exclusive and sells for €40 with all dlc included.

I checked. It’s €30 even.

Steamworld going 3D reminds me of oddworld. Almost all entries being stand alone within the franchise probably doesn’t help either.

@pushsquareaaron why aren’t COD1 finest hour and COD2 the big red one on this list?
I can understand not listing declassified, ps2 word at war and the psp games but FH and TBRO are main entries.

Animal crossing happy home paradise on switch. Enjoying it lot so far. Put a lot of hours into it yesterday.

Psychonauts on xbox series X. Fun game but mainly playing it to play the sequel after.

Nothing on ps5 this weekend, tho the VR ps+ games do interest me.

I started playing jedi fallen order on ultimate game pass on the XSX and it’s really fun so far.
Also bits of animal crossing here and there in preparation for the update.
And Finally I started playing ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 recently.

@Shigurui oh lol I never realized that.

So a character action spin off for a strategy game series best known for their hack and slash spin offs. Made by the guys that brought you DMC:DMC and CHAOS!

NintenDOOMed, switch is dead in the water /j

Nah but seriously, let’s hope this means the ps5 stock is more available and not that the switch is hard to find. The ps4 and switch are both contenders for best selling console ever, ps5 seems to go to the top 5 at the end of it’s life.

I was actually playing ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 and castlevania on the switch but got surprised with an Xbox Series X and ultimate gamepass yesterday so I started playing halo 1.

Besides that I installed bug fables, carrion, dead cells and some other games I’ve wanted to play for a while now.

@Spiders thanks. While never commenting there I’ve been reading pure xbox for as long as I’ve been reading pushsquare and nintendolife (so since 2010, before the site shutdown and reopened.)

My XSX arrived today so now that I have UGP it’s the first time I don’t fret about if the PS+ games will be good. Not to say it wouldn’t be nice if we got some good stuff ofcourse. Moreso I’m well set for a while.

But I’d like some SP games again with ps+, especially on ps5. Would love one of the launch ps5 games to be free to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of ps5 despite me owning them already.

@nessisonett I feel like a lot of games in this list where given low scores by people that didn’t play them.
The 13 trilogy may not be top tier but everyone I ever heard that finished them either liked them or loved them, people hating on them usually didn’t even play them because “they’re bad”.

IMO several of the “bad and mediocre” ones should 100% be above 15.

Good list, tho XIII-2 is 100% much better than XIII. I love both but the gap between them shouldn’t be so high.

EDIT: wow FF7, 7R, 9 and 10 all being ranked above 6? That’s a new one to me.

I’m playing through dragon quest 11 definitive edition on the ps4/ps5 atm, passed the halfway point already. Reallt enjoying it.

Also playing through castlevania circle of the moon on my switch, love that I’m finally able to play the gba games for affordable prices.

And lastly my brother and I have a minecraft world where we do stuff, play on it both on the switch and ps5 depending wether I want to play portably or with better performance.

“No live system means no stakes”
That’s a pro to me, limited lives are an archaic thing of the past that just create frustration and anger.

@nessisonett “there is no blizzard controversy in ba sing NLife media” - some earthbender probably.

Didn’t expect such a low score. That sucks. Seems like it’s not mediocre because the game itself was always like that but rather because it aged poorly.

First time every I am straight up disappointed with the full line and and I chose the crap option.

The general focus on multiplayer games only on plus lately sucks in general. I don’t mind MP games but balance it out a bit IMO. Like atleast 1 Fully SP experience would’ve satisfied me.

@johncalmc deadshot was in arkham origins, city and knight (tho I’m not sure if this is the same one as it’s the same universe but in the arkham games he was white). King shark has been a pretty big comedic character ever since the harley quin show, he’s supposed to be a smart brute but recent interpretations showed him as a cute dummy, captain boomerang is an australian stereotype.

Almost bought it digitally but now I’ll wait 2 months.

Let’s hope lost in random also gets a physical soon.

Would be nice if it also had the 2 ds igavania castlevania’s,

@Nepp67 also wouldn’t it be MH 8 in that case. Generations would be 5, world would be 6, rise would be 7. Since 1 to 4 where numbered. It would imply 2 of those 3 are spin offs and not main games.
