Hopefully. Always been interested in it and it's weird to jump into the second game first

Hero-of-Time Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Meh. Shoddy SOP overall. Very happy with another Yakuza game heading west but the rest of the show did nothing for me. I just can't get excited about God of War Ragnarök.

Delivered exactly what was promised (and a bit more with GoW: Ragnarok). Like A Dragon: Ishin!!! I don't know what it is in the Yakuza world, but it seems fun. Definitely interested in Team Ninja's project, Syn Duality and Stellar Blade. And that GoW: Ragnarok trailer I think it's going to be a pretty decent game. Overall, great day for announcements. We're feasting in the next months and 2023 looks ridiculously stacked already. Edited September 13, 2022 by drahkon
Hero-of-Time Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 I still can't get over how many farming sims were in that Direct. 2
Julius Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Watched the State of Play and some reactions last night while feeling worse for wear, and I thought it was pretty solid...just short. Really short, with some really weird cuts. Like, let the 10/10 Ragnarok trailer linger for just a sec, where are you off in a rush to guys? Seriously! But pleasantly, seemingly TGS-focused with the number of Japanese developed games shown off, so a few games I'll be interested in. Like A Dragon: Ishin - I'm never catching up on these games, huh? Well...I can't complain, inject them all into my veins obviously we've had the bunch of RGG announcements today too which has cemented 'Like A Dragon' as the branding in the West moving forwards for these games over Yakuza, but for this particular game I think it just made sense from a branding perspective to help clearly separate searches for this remake and the original Ishin (EDIT: apparently also been a licensing issue for SEGA for a while having the 'Yakuza' branding? Which makes sense, I mean that'd be like calling a western gangster game series Mafi–...oh. Plus I suppose it makes sense if the games are centred less around the Yakuza these days. Kinda.). Looks spectacular, can't wait for more dumb and dramatic RGG fun, especially seeing as at the surface this looks even sillier than normal. Which is really saying something. PlayStation Stars - okay not a game I'm interested in but I need to comment on it: groan. There was something special about looking at these trophy-like items in Astro's Playroom, but here...urgh. They didn't even really explain it and it's rolling out in Asia by the end of the month? Probably be binned in a couple of years Stellar Blade - looked like NiER drenched deep in anime BS before, continues to look like NiER drenched deep in anime BS now. I have half an eye on it. Also, kudos to them for toning it down on the ass shots this time around, as the initial reveal of the game was very in-your-face. Rise of the Ronin - the Samuraissance continues. I'm in. But 2024?! Probably help tide me over to the Ghost of Tsushima sequel I guess! God of War Ragnarok - inject it into my veins yesterday, what a trailer! Hell, even the controller is growing on me the more I look at it. Must...resist... The gutting thing for me was not getting to see Ben Moore's reactions to this or the Nintendo Direct, or anything going on at TGS. Dude was probably freaking out 8/10. Wish it was a Showcase proper, though. Edited September 15, 2022 by Julius 2

I think a lot of people use it in co-op as kind of a background game to play while chatting with friends.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 Finally confirmed for PlayStation platforms. 1

Because they're developing for every console and their mother? That reminds me...I should play Hollow Knight again. Never understood the high praise it got. Not to say it's a bad game, I was just quite underwhelmed.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 Don't waste your time. There are much better Metroidvanias out there to play.

You can't just say that without giving at least one example And don't say Castlevania: Symphony of the Night because I KNOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD. I should play it, shouldn't I? Just checked and I have the Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood collection for my PS. I seem to have gotten all the trophies for Rondo of Blood. I don't remember playing it, though The last Metroidvania I played was Monster Sanctuary. Before that it was probably Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Always tried to get into Axiom Verge but never stuck with it for more than one or two hours.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 I think you've played most of them but... Monster Boy Bloodstained Timespinners Symphony of the Night Dead Cells Shantae series Guacamelee The Messenger Strider Record of Lodoss war

Played it on the Switch (man, must've been 100 years ago) and loved it. You know what? It's on PS+ The Greatest of All Time: Michael Jordan Edition. I guess it's time to play it again and get that Platinum

Ronnie Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 PSVR 1 Games Won’t Work On Your PSVR 2 Unbelievable. And yet at the same time, completely believable. It is staggering just how bad Playstation are with backwards compatibility. How does something like this happen? It certainly won't help an already struggling platform.

Just reached the shop for the first time (again) and I remember just how funny the shopkeeper is Quote and fun platinum. Good to know. Checked a guide and the only missables are the shopkeeper's unskippable stories (which are a must read anyways ) and going through the Dark Cave without the "necessary" upgrade. Should be simple enough
Happenstance Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 I might have to go back and play some more of The Messenger myself, such a good game and an amazing soundtrack.

Happenstance Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Just need to remember where I own it now. I know I got it free with Twitch Prime but I have a feeling I bought it on another platform as well for easier access.

Other than emulators I haven't added any other non-steam games to my Deck yet so now seems as good a time as any to test it.
