I would love to see Erin Kellyman (actor who played Enfys Nest in the movie Solo) as Aloy.

@lolwhatno Very cool. I'm glad I asked.

@lolwhatno Totally off topic, but what game is that featured in your nightmarish gif of a profile pic?

You can complain all day about right-wing governments, left-wing governments, centrist governments, and supply chain issues, but the source of all price gouging across the planet is corporate greed. And if people find a way to alleviate it somewhat, the corporations shut it down. This d**k move by Sony is just another example of that.

I got 2/15. Thank god for Rampage! And the question where I guessed right.

@dschons You are not alone. I think the key is to recognize that Sony is unaware that Random Angry Gamer #5 already owns 1 or more of the games they've chosen for this month. Also that they can't make everybody happy each month. I have zero interest in FIFA, but I can at least appreciate that it's a well-reviewed game that fans of the sport would be happy to get for free. All I hope for each month is that there will be at least 1 game that interests me, and at least 1 game that is appropriate for my kid to play. Sometimes both things happen, sometimes one, sometimes none.

I've always thought of the trophies as a nice little bonus for doing something obscure, or a chuck on the shoulder for completing a task/quest/challenge that took some effort. Piling up easy-to-get platinum trophies so that you can declare to the world "I have ____ platinum trophies now!" seems like an empty pursuit. I'm really not trying to be critical here, but how can it mean anything if you achieved a platinum by mashing buttons for a couple of minutes?

@gingerfrog That's great! Thanks!

Sorry about that. I make myself feel old all the time, too!

Bust A Move (my mom would be ecstatic!)

Wipeout XL

Happily wandering my way through Horizon Forbidden West. Hands down one of the best games I have ever played.

My son and I are so excited about playing this together! Can't wait!

Exciting news! Loved these games back in the day.

Tried this out today. You can really feel the difference. I found I was picking up more items as a result.

Wipeout XL (but only if Firestarter by The Prodigy is included)
Return Fire
SSX Tricky
SSX 3

@LiamCroft Would it be possible for Canadian prices to be included when you list prices for things?

The first time I played Astro's Playroom, I knew I was dealing with something that wasn't simply the latest variation of the PlayStation controller. The way you feel tension as you engage the trigger buttons, the way you can experience the differences and the realism of surfaces beneath your characters' feet, the nuances in the rumble feature that allow you to authentically feel everything from the gentle patter of rain to the immense release of energy from a nearby explosion — the DualSense is on a completely different playing field.

Pre-ordered the Special Edition! Can't wait!

Looks like they're finally figuring out teeth. I don't know what it is, but even in gorgeous games like HFW, teeth can look so garish and fake at times.

It's hard to have any kind of perspective when you're lost in the wonder of Horizon Forbidden West.

Oh, @Confused_Dude. You said "hit square" when you could have easily said "push square". So disappointed ...

I am looking forward to this, while my 11-year-old is beyond excited.

@Quintumply If I'm not mistaken, the Deluxe Edition comes with 6 of the 7 DLC packs (Mandalorian Pack 1, Mandalorian Pack 2, Rogue One, Classic Characters, Solo, and Bad Batch)

I was relieved to see that I'm not the only one on here old enough to see the Spy Hunter allusion.

I'm all about Horizon Forbidden West this weekend and many weekends to come. Loving every minute of it.

Pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition! Can't wait for April!

Got my "Your item has shipped!" notice this morning. So close to finishing Zero Dawn. Incentive is at an all-time high. Thankfully I have a 4-day weekend ahead of me!

@Kidfunkadelic83 I'm doing the Frozen Wilds right now. Then I will make one final attempt at getting all the blazing suns, then on to the final 2 main quests and I'm done. Then straight into HFW!

@theheadofabroom @Kidfunkadelic83 @ApostateMage 2 days for me, too, but I have to finish HZD first! I still have about 15 hours left! Oh, why must work get in the way of everything?

@Gloamin Your mum wins the internet this week. That is all.

@TheCollector316 I think @Victor_Meldrew is referring to this intro:

Wow. This manages to be cool and adorable at the same time.

@theheadofabroom Thanks! I watched it and loved it.

@ShogunRok Can you tell me if this trailer contains spoilers? I'm 2 main quests away from finishing HZD.

@JaneBear I don't know why, but trying out the new version of Coconut Mall is the one part of it that I'm most hyped about!

I'm trying to finish up HZD before the 18th, and the more I play, the more excited I get for Forbidden West!

It's amazing the effort Guerrilla has put into making this game accessible for so many people.

I imagine Switch users will be too busy racing the new MK8 tracks that are on the way.

No love for Canada once again. <sniffle>

I really want to play this, but I'm just finishing HZD, and then it's on to HFW, Ghosts of Tsushima Director's Cut, GT7, and Lego Skywalker Saga. For a parent that's, like, a year and a half of gaming.

I guess we'll need to remember this information when we try to flee in a vehicle at the dawn of the Robo-pocalypse.

@frankmcma Yes! Testify!

<searches for the link for Canadian readers>
Sigh.

@rjejr There's a limit to how high the walls can go, sadly. But you can make them pretty high. I agree with you — nothing more exciting than a young phenom racing around the bases to leg out a triple. That's definitely more thrilling than an aging shlub crushing a dinger and then gingerly trotting around the bases.

Planet Coaster is a game my kid can play (and be creative with), so I consider that a win at least.

Give me Disco Elysium and Deathloop and my year is totally made.

So excited for this!

Wishing for something on the level of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but expecting something on the level of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

@weR1youR2Podcast If I can manage to make someone laugh in this hellscape of a society we're all living in, I consider it a good day. Cheers. Now get back to work!

@lolwhatno @bozz And if you can sneak in some video game play time while you're supposed to be working, it's called "business casual".

@rjejr I guess games up here in NoNA should be longer since they cost more.
