I actually got through the Trails of Cold Steel 4 and have never been more impressed with a series of games from a story standpoint. Definitely glad I started at the 1st one. Also glad that I was late to the series and at the time I had all 4 ready to play and didn't have to wait for a new release. (you really have to like lengthy RPGs because they all took me over 100 hours each, I did not play them back to back to back to back). I could not imagine trying to get caught up on the series now. I have Trails of Zero and Trails from Azure and just can't get into them...I am on the fence on this next one.

I played 0. It was alright. It just needed them to find a better writer for both story pacingandslice of life. As the game should have been 20 hours at most with how little story they wanted to tell. I am astonished that it mostly wrapped up the plot threads besides Lloyd's brother and the suitcase. As those it forgot about basically. Thankfully neither is remotely important to the enjoyment.

But yeah after the things I've heard about Azure I think I may just skip that one entirely. Almost no one in my circle enjoyed it. One of My friends who usually gushes over the series practically hated it especially Lloyd's sexist attitude. Which is weird given that there was no trace of that in zero. He was completely respectful of major Noelle in particular and didn't treat her like she was a idiot just because she's a lady.

Before someone mentions Elle and Tito and Lloyd's trying to constantly leave them out neither of them were physically fit to be doing anything in that field, had 0 training, git winded from a short walk, 0 in investigation or the law Or self defense training. They would have been unlikely to even pass the entrance exams and were only hired for specific reasons. So I definitely agree 100% for not wanting civilians who are liabilities with you in dangerous situations. Especially when they aren't honest about their health. Honestly I don't know why Elle is even there past the beginning with her gramps. She gets little relevancy or development and they completely underuse her world experience in foreign countries including calvard. granted Lloyd's spent time there as well but they hardly ever touch upon that. I would think both would have experience in the asian quarter since they are a supposed larger presence in calvard from what I understand. Though I get it since they only really foreshadow erebonia and calvard prior to the countries arcs anyway.

I made the mistake of starting Dredge so I could get the boat PS Stars collectible and I'm hooked. After I had already started FC24 so I could get the other PS Stars collectible. Now I have three games in progress that I want to play all the time.

I'm also super excited for that Astrobot game. If they release that controller, I'll probably pick it up.

The only reason I keep putting down the controller for this game is the random events that can screw you over. I get the feeling I've been taking it too slow and should just be pushing limits, but everything is pretty strictly gated between cargo space and events in town happening as time progresses. This means that any advantages I should probably be getting to deal with the random events just isn't happening fast enough. Last night I lost a quest item just feet from the dock because of an event, which was met with the appropriate response of straight to home screen.

Game is interesting but these events piss me off without giving feedback of how to solve, or find solutions for. Just keep playing is a failing proposition to me. . .

I'm going to get massive flak for this but when I played Tomba a few years ago, it wasn't as good as I remembered it. Very floaty jumping, great graphics/music/sound, and it felt frustrating many times. I still think it's an alright game, but I used to consider it a great game. Also it would be nice for Tomba 2 to come back as well, but we know for games brought back they rarely bring back every game enhanced all at once.

I played them on psvita. Fun games. You definitely need a guide for all the errands you have to do.

The running and jumping was bad. Grabbing and throwing the bosses was frustrating. There was a real hard race in the second part.

Loved astro's playroom and the new game looks great but I don't know if I want to spend $70 on it 🤔 It's pretty hard to justify spending $70 on any game right now though

My gut says $40-$50. Still (after 1 whole day) holding out hope for a controller + game bundle for $99. I’m sure it would be a download code though. 🙈

If it is a $70 game hopefully QVC has it on their site so we can get it for $40. I imagine it will be less since it shouldnt be one of the typical Sony games that is 75% cut scene. Games that are actually games seem to be cheaper.

I never ran into this, but I was also a massive pansy about being out at night. Unless a little quest demanded it, my ass was docked by like midnight, lol.

Edit: just realized, out of context, "my ass was docked by like midnight," could be incredibly misconstrued, especially this month ...

I already have 6 accounts on there to take advantage of getting new switch games for $40 :ROFLMAO: Nintendo games take forever to go on sale so I'll take a discount where I can. At least I know PS5 games will go on sale eventually so I can wait.

Amazing they don’t limit it to one per billing address.

I'm as surprised as you that I've been able to do it so many times and they haven't black listed me or something. New emails to make the new account but I use the same address. I have 3 different cards to use plus my paypal. As long as you delete the payment info from the old account you can use it on a new account. I have been spacing it apart so I wasn't doing a bunch of them at once and I don't let them overlap. Always order and let it get here before I do it again. I did one on HSN too but their codes aren't as good.

Can't on the Xbox products either, but I believe their cloud saves ar free.

Man not free on PlayStation, they basically forces you to get ps+ to use the cloud saves

Edit: I looked it up might not be able to single copy a file but what they have is better then nothing but still lame.

You need to back up the entire system to back up the saves so if you want to restore a save you'll need to restore everything on your system as well. I know they didn't want local backup for saves due to potential hacks but the system has already been hacked on certain firmware's so can we get USB save backup now Sony :mad:
 
This the "value" the current co-CEO Hideaki Nishino was referring to when talking about bringing pc players over to PS5. Pay $80 a year just to backup your saves when those poor PC players have to pay absolutely nothing to do the same.

When it comes to Playstation Sony's never been the sharpest knife in the draw. But when the comes to the last 8 to 10 months the amount of delusion emanating from them is absolutely mind blogging to me. People wonder why the industry is shrinking and why it's on par for a second crash.

JFC if that isn't sobering. FFS Hulst could have just been honest that they're begrudgingly putting their games on PC because growth for consoles is flat and dying. Their hopes are irrelevant to us beyond that.

LMFAO, I originally missed this because it was VR news but wow the audacity to create a problem and sell you the solution is just amazing. How did they think isolating an already niche product to their ecosystem would turn out? I'm all for complete 180's on bad decisions, but the mistakes made are piling up and they're trying way too hard to piss off the PC crowd who can help save them.

I'm confused as to why Sony making something for their PS ecosystem is a problem? PC market is not their expertise even if the PS4 and PS5 are both basically PCs, it's prob easier to make something for 1 system vs something that would need to work with potentially 1000000000s of different VR compatible PCs and the handful of DRMs. I honestly doubt it'll be a smooth experience to use PSVR2 on PC early on, it's already been noted some features of PSVR2 will not work with PCs.

I also don't get what the PC crowd would be saving Sony from? The might not be doing as well as they had hoped but they're not broke by any means, they said the PS5 has been their most profitable system by far. This seems more like what they're doing with their games- use the PC market as a supplemental market instead of their primary market since they're definitely not supporting the PSVR2 with games vs PC market already has a ton of them.

I hope this adapter works or eventually works perfectly. When I eventually do get a PSVR2, it'll be nice to know that I'll have something that can be used to play Alyx since I sure as hell wasn't going to buy a headset for just 1 game. Granted there's other PC VR games I want to play but Alyx is the main one.
 
People are going around and believing the narrative that Phil Spencer and the Xbox marketing has created about console gaming. They believed all of console gaming is declining when in fact it is just the Xbox that is facing the problem. They are grouping Nintendo and Sony in with Xbox issue. It's wild that people took Spencer and the Xbox marketing PR highly, when they are not even or have been the market leader in console gaming for over a decade. It would have been more concerning if one of the market leader of their category is going around and saying that, but I haven't heard anything from Nintendo and Sony complaining about console gaming growth.

Despite all that it’ll be interesting to see how much more Xbox has to look forward to after this weekend than we got from PlayStation’s State of Play.

Pretty barren right now for first party releases outside of Concord and Astro Bot. But hopefully we’ll get an actual Showcase in the fall. And maybe some of those Xbox releases will be coming to PS5.

Still don’t think Xbox is leaving the console space anytime soon.
