been playing Stellar Blade for the last few days. tiddies aside it's actually pretty solid, reminds of DMC/Nier but with some Souls-like elements.

Damn making me want to buy it even though I'm currently playing Infinite Wealth with Rebirth and SMT V Vengeance in my backlog too, plus will buy a month of PC Game Pass next month for Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis probably. Gonna have to hold out until it's $30 or I have finished those three. Same thing for Spiderman 2.

i dont have fallen order yet. and only game(s) that i can see myself buying to jump ahead of my backlog would be TLOU part 2 (before the next season of the show drops), and maybe spider-man 2 at some point just because that series is freakin awesome

and GTA6 because rockstar

TLOU Part 2 is a masterpiece but you probably missed your chance to get it cheap now that it has that unnecessary PS5 remaster when the PS4 version was already great running 1440p60 on PS5. It's significantly better than the first IMO, which is saying a ing lot because the first game was one of the biggest things that got me to buy a PS4 in 2016 and as soon as I played it I knew the system was worth every penny I paid for it.

ROFL Concord only sold about 25,000 copies after PoorStation dropped probably $100 million into making that trash ass game.

ROFL Jim Ryan tearing down what was an incredible brand last console gen. He's the Playstation Don Mattrick.

Haven’t played a video game since late March. I’m thinking of buying Astro Bot, apparently it’s totally on par or better than the GOAT of GOATS Super Mario 64.

Space Marine 2 is pretty badass. Kinda gives shooter from the 2010s vibes, in a good way.

BaselineBum What’s with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio releasing a Yakuza game like they’re Call of Duty?



Looks interesting but I can’t keep up anymore.

RGG is smart in that they reuse their engine and their assets so they're not reinventing the wheel every game and can keep pumping out quality games like everyone did in the NES through PS3 gens. I don't know why more studios don't. I mean was anyone complaining when GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas came out within a three year span and all played pretty similarly? Did anyone complain about getting Persona 3 and Persona 4 only two years apart? Or Final Fantasy IV and VI only a couple of years apart? Or Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas two years apart? Or Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Elder Scrolls Skyrim five years apart? So stupid that studios want to wait 7-10-15 years to make new games in the same universe as their previous one. RGG is one of the few devs that takes that old-school PS2 gen approach to their release schedule.

Also Yakuza / Like a Dragon is a great series to play as a patient gamer since the games get really cheap within 2-3 years. Play through the old ones while they're cheap to buy and by the time you get to the new ones they'll probably be $5 to $10 too.

Jeez last year XBox was at Tokyo Game Show showing off Like a Dragon Gaiden and Persona 3 Reload as Day 1 XBox Game Pass games. This year? Some 20 year old Katamari game that goes on sale for $5 all the time and some remake of the Mana games that has been out four years? Game Pass is ing dead.
