I finished Jedi Survivor so now I'll play Prince of Persia as my main. Plus didn't have much to interest me this month, so I've got time for the backlog.

Nintendo hasn't felt the same after the Cube. They did most things right with it, a lot of creative takes on classic titles. Fun, whimsical games. Affordable hardware and greatest hits at $20. The Wii pushed them in a gimmicky direction and the success of Switch turned them into a Disney Theme park nickel and dime greed fest.

Considering what I get from Plus Premium for $160 a year, I ended up losing interest in Nintendo after Wii U. Up to that point N would re release games as "greatest hits" for $20. Now they do the opposite. There's maybe 4 must play exclusives they make per generation. May as well wait til the end of the gen from now on.

This is why I've been mainly a Playstation guy since Wii U. Nintendo is a nickel and dime company. A year of Plus Premium, on a machine that isn't 2 generations behind, or 2 Nintendo games. An upgraded rerelease of BOTW being $80 is insane.

I assume Nintendo will always dominate the console market there. But it will be a rapidly shrinking market.

Another good month for me. Dang I'm spoiled.

Here's to hoping it hits Plus in a year or so!

Glad to give DAV a try. I already have Sonic and all the TMNT roms I need, but this is a good variety for people.

I jumped into PS4 generation late so I went straight to the Pro because it was a small price difference from the slim. If a person were to do the same now, it's quite a bit different. Heck, a lightly used PS5 slim with disc drive is under $400. That's close to $300 difference to grab a Pro and a drive.

Still working on Ragnarok. I'll think about these later.

Well that a lot of games for $99. Too bad there's no love for regular subscribers though.

What's with the urge to turn EVERYTHING into a movie? Irish Spring soap, the cinematic universe.

The Horizon world would have fit a MMO pretty well. FF14 was too complicated for me but i would have tried this. Oh well.

I was one of the people waiting for Ragnarok. I had plenty of a backlog to keep me occupied. Interested in Anno as well.

They really had to learn the hard way. Oh well.

Well hopefully this sort of service sticks around as an option, because I sure enjoy it. I like renting games. Digging through digital store sale pages has become miserable.

Well good. It's a creative game. Didn't think it was a mind blowing masterpiece, but as an action rpg with some odd ideas here and there I had a good time with it and I'm glad a lot of other people gave it a chance.

Ack. It's best not to signal boost complainy internet trolls. It's just endless with these people.

I'm glad they're not constantly rehashing the same thing like how Nintendo does with Kirby, Pokemon, etc. And they do make the best of the best "epic" style games. But it's time for more variety.

Sega being tone deaf and making bad business decisions? Classic Sega is back!

Grabbed Okami for $5. Never did get far in it back in the day. Hopefully I can tolerate the blur effect enough to at least get halfway through this time.

A bunch of stuff I'm glad to try out but not buy. Ideal rentals.

This version of Jak and Daxter is a nice improvement over the ps4 one. Seems clearer and more responsive. And of course rewind.

Three well-reviewed games and people are not happy. Tsk. Gamers gonna be gamers I guess.

Some great games. But I already have ITT and am not into Pokémon type games.

I wonder if my save file for the other version of Jak will work on the better emulator. We shall see!

I had my fun with Gigabash. Great "fun for a rental" type of game. Tinykin i bought like a week before it was announced for plus.

This is one month where there really is nothing that appeals to me. There are a few from previous months I've wanted to make more progress in so there's that.

Doki Doki is something I never would have bought otherwise but gave it a try, and I found it to be an interesting experience. Trying out oddball titles is why I subscribe.

5 games this month that I'm interested in. At $13, that's a great rental value.

Another great month for me! We got Little Nightmares 2 earlier, and now get Squire, and Mosquito! Curious about Sky Gunners too.

If there is a situation where my PS5 dies, the Pro is on sale, and it's another 3+ years until the PS6, then it's a maybe. It's like Marvel movies-- the more they pumped out the less I cared until I stopped watching entirely.

Eh, they seem to be profitable overall. Flops happen. Lots of armchair business experts on the internet. When Astrobot releases people will be saying otherwise.

People seem upset that a publisher is porting a game to an older machine people still use. But also people are thrilled when an indie publisher makes a new NES cartridge. People be strange. I went into PS5 expecting mostly a PS4 pro pro, and am happy with it. I'm glad PS4 is still usable and relevant, because I gave mine to my daughter.

The demo was nice. I liked the cozy seaside town. It seems to be a good comfort food type of game.

I'm busy in the summer so I play in tiny bites. Then I go nuts when winter starts and get bored of gaming by March. The cycle of life.

If Beyond Good & Evil 2 is on the list, then it's guaranteed!

Glad I got to try Trials. NFS Unbound was ok for a bit with the music off. And that's all I've got to say.

This sounds like my cup of chamomile.

Yeah, Sony was right in the end. I was never really jealous of Game pass, as very few MS exclusives appeal to me.

I don't understand the obsession with turning games into movies. Games look so good now, and have stories within them. Each game is a miniseries you play through. Going beyond that, you're trying to market to an audience that potentially doesn't have interest in gaming so you're starting from square one.

Fighting giant robot animals is cool within a video game context. As a show it's going to come across as Transformers-style cheesiness.

@Meowmixes98 I'll give Borderlands 3 a try since it's on there. But the previous games didn't really click with me so I'm guessing this won't either.

Dang... hopefully Extra isn't a July letdown.

I'm very disappointed they didn't have hooves for hands. Automatic no buy. Nay to that purchase, I say! Nay!

After Us was the one I had been interested in. Mid reviews discouraged me from actually buying it so I'm glad to give it a go. I like artsy floaty games like Journey. There's enough good stuff from the past few months I'm still working on so I'm content.

@N1ghtW1ng well, after seeing the direction Sega went I wouldn't have been shocked.

I'm happy with it. Played SoR4 on the old psnow and was wanting to play it again but not buy it outright! Also never played the original Sly Cooper so I'll give that a try.

Nice. Glad it's not PSVR2. I liked the first Astro Not, but never finished it because of the nausea. And hassle of setting up the VR. And wearing the VR. And the wires.

@Th3solution hard to imagine Xbox gaining any ground any time soon.

If I weren't so busy with Dave, Tunic, and Animal Well, I'd be pretty bummed about this month. I already had my fill of Cat Quest 2 for like $3 back on the PS4. Poopity woopity.
