Megaman Battle Network 5, which is a nice nostalgia trip from childhood.
And Trails to Azure after which I’ll finally be able to continue the series chronologically again.

Just recently bought a Steam Deck, so will be playing Trails in the Sky 3 and checking our AC 1 + plus some F1 22

@AFCC on PS4/PS5 there’s the Trails of Cold Steel saga - in total 4 here in the west. You could start with cold steel 1 - but last year Trails from Zero was released. It’s the prequel to this game, Azure. IMO you’d get more out of playing Zero before this. I myself started with Trails in the Sky (not on PS4/5) and have only played Cold Steel 1 of that saga. Hope makes some sense, is a tricky series to get into - but it’s wonderful.

Metro 2033 - plays wonderfully on PS5 with better FPS and faster loading.

Dead Space Remake - Never played the original, but great so far.
On Switch, OG FFVII and Fuga: Melodies of Steel demo

Finished crisis Core on ps5, really enjoyed it - now replaying OG FFVII on Switch + a bit of Eiyuden Chronicles Rising.

FFVII Crisis Core PS5. Just started chapter 4 - game is growing on me as I progress more.

@thefourfoldroot1 Stein’s Gate is quite daunting, but for me really worth it in the end! It’s a slow burn, but a good one. Game has several endings, which I didn’t see all of. The anime is really good adaptation too, which I watched after the game.

Max Payne 1 on Xbox hoping to finish before FF7: Crisis Core next week

Too late for my time zone, but also don’t like all the talking and padding that usually happens during these shows. So, will watch afterwards and fast forward.

Still too early for me to say. Have been amazing so far, then I came to the Lost Sanctuary quest which for me is a drag. I hope there won’t be many more of these quests.

Replayed the last one for the second time and finished it yesterday, and jumped straight into Ragnarok. Have played an hour and then some today and what a ride so far! And even better playing during dark, Danish November day.

My most anticipated game next year along with FFVI part 2 - can’t wait !

Played it first in 2018 but on off due to my studies; which probably was why I didn’t understand the praise for it back then, albeit I was thought it was very good. But now replaying it on PS5, and is truly special - there’s some special quality to it I find lacking in most games nowadays.

God of War PS5 and on the last chapter of Trails from Zero on Switch.

Just started my 2nd playthrough of the previous GoW on PS5. While I thought it was great back in 2018, I never saw the hype for it, I’m interested if my opinion will change this time. So far, it plays really great on the PS5 with the 60FPS just an extra bonus.

@colonelkilgore no problem 👍👍👍

@johnny30 @johnny30 ahhh okay - gotcha, I’ve heard that about CS2 and Azure. By the time I’m done with Zero - I’ll prob need a longer break , then I’ll prob play Trails Sky 3 since I have the opportunity for that and then azure before following the games as released as well.

@colonelkilgore from a novice’s perception, I started with the Trails in the Sky 1 and then the second game. I skipped the 3rd game since I haven’t had the possibility to play it until now. So skipped into playing m Cold Steel 1. Am now playing Trails from Zero, which technically takes place before CS1 (/events in CS1 would “spoil” Zero). For me jumping around the “correct” way hasn’t been a problem at all - the biggest hike would be the callbacks to old games + old characters coming into newer games, but it is not a major distraction for me. I would personally start with Trails in the Sky 1 (I played on a PSP emulator with speed up which helps a lot) and see if you even like these games / world, characters etc. Conversely start, with Cold Steel 1 since it’s the beginning of a new arc in the universe. It’s a difficult series to get into for many I would say, but JRPGs are my favourite games + I love the expanded universe of these games.

@ShogunRok thanks - yeah, agree about the lack of necessity to play in chronological. But currently going through Zero and will probably need a break from Legend of Heroes Games after finishing this one. But Zero so far, very good.

Really enjoying trails from Zero so far. It has a charm and hook I don’t find in other games at the moment. I played Cold Steel 1 before this, and while Zero technically takes place before, it hasn’t been a problem for me. Would playing Cold Steel 2 before Azure be “ok”? I’ve also not played Trails in the Sky 3 yet, so might play that before Azure comes out.

Trails from Zero, Xenoblade 3 and trying Ghost of Tsushima on PS5

AC Origins on PS5, so good with 60fps and faster loading. Might give Deathloop on gamepass a go as well along with continuing Xenoblade 3

Have both games on my Vita. 2 was one of my favourite games ever as a child. Loved the expansive cast of characters

Plague Tale: Innocence, about halfway through now. Really good game, looking forward to the sequel if the first continues to be good

@Voltan would make good sense since we practically call it ‘Odin’s Day’, slightly moderated, here in Scandinavia . Would’ve been nice for game coming on a Friday though.

Living in Denmark, playing this during the dark autumn/winter hours will def be a treat.

Dunno how or why but I was able to download the PS5 version straight from the store without having to pay anything. I had the PS4 version already installed, but will see if I’m actually able to play the new version upon release.

1. Brotherhood, 2. IV: Black Flag & 2. ACII for me

@CriticalGames as a lifelong FF and recent DQ fan, this looks interesting. Will it be coming to the Switch?

Edit:
My bad, realised I hadn’t finished the trailer where it’s confirmed
I’ll keep a lookout for this title.

Looks interesting, but the dialogue seemed weird. If I eventually get a PS5 I might be interested, but would consider playing in Japanese

8/10. Was great but to me was never something out of the extraordinary. The story was ok, but a lot the the character development in terms of you becoming a ghost felt “disconnected” from the story, for me at least.

Only about midway through Trials in the Sky SC, but guess there’s no rush to get to the end of Cold Steel series as I want the whole experience. Nihon Falcom is slowly becoming one of my favourite developer, and their music is awesome!

Gears of War 2 & Sonic 2

Metal Gear 2+3 on Xbox, and FFIV on the Vita

@Blacksmith1985 I like the combat in Valhalla, albeit it’s not amazing or anything. It is a bit generic, but I found it fine for this type of game. I’ve never played Dark Souls, only a bit of Bloodborne, so I couldn’t tell - I do think though that the general consensus would be that DS has better combat.

@GREGORIAN
Yeah, I like all those games, but don’t agree. But to each their own, and that’s great.

Fell off the first time playing HZD but am currently giving it another go. I really like it, but otherwise don’t see what’s so special about it. To me Sony first party games are generally great, but they’re also mostly 8/10 kind of games for me.

Played it for about 20 hours, but didn’t really click for me. Then after a while I decided to return and decided to play in Japanese. For some reason it suddenly clicked, and I like it much bette now. Also, if anyone’s played Steins;Gate, main character VO voices Ryuji in the Japanese which instantly increased my liking towards the game too!

Great game, but also so depressing near the end.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, FFXV & Trails in the Sky FC

As someone who doesn’t have a particularly great pc, never had an Xbox, don’t really care about 4K/no 4K tv at the moment anyway - I’ll get the Series S. PlayStation still have superior exclusives - and I believe they’ll continue to do so in the future - but I’ll wait for an eventual PS5 Slim, and in the meantime get me a “Netflix” gaming maschine until then.

Anything Red Dead or GTA, I’ll happily splash my cash at launch. Otherwise, I’ll wait. Sad for us Europeans. In Denmark, games prices are already nearly 70 usd at launch for physical copies. PS Store is a joke as new games are already about 80 usd. Also, the pattern has become quite clear in recent years. Wait about 3-4 months, and games go on sale + they have been patched during that time.

Series S along with gamepass and now EA Play has really caught my interest. While I’ll get PS5 eventually I think it’s time for something new. Xbox S price point and services really entice me and unless PS5 completely blows me away with cheaper version and overhaul of PS Now+Plus, I’m just not interested. PlayStation are exclusives king, but what Microsoft offers is really impressive.

Crash Trilogy. I’ve seen it several times that a prequel of a games was released as Plus the month before or even the same, so would be plausible.
Otherwise Yakuza 3-5 trilogy, but probably too early yet

I love how “Virtual Sim” is being branded as something new when Fifa09 back on the wii had pretty a similar feature, but has been non-existent ever since.

In my store it’s under the ps plus tab, but full price is shown, I.e. there’s a bug

On vacation atm, so FFVIII remastered and might dabble in some Xenoblade 2, all on the Switch.
