Ghost of Yotei instantly most anticipated PS5 game, Tsushima is one of my favorite games ever, period.

Man with Monster Hunter Wilds, Metroid Prime 4, Dragon Quest I & 2 HD Remake, GTAVI, and whole new Nintendo console that will undoubtedly have some must plays for me (3D Mario, Mario Kart, who knows?) 2025 is shaping up hot already.

It should allow them to improve on the first game without trying to make improvements fit with the same characters and story lines.

Ghost of Tsushima was a beautiful game, but it got super repetitive far too quickly.

I think I made it past the first island, then when I realized it was just more of the same 3 more times I gave up.

The game was pure magic for the first half of the game but lost its luster when I realized that I was fighting the exact five same enemies the entire game, the side quests were pretty unremarkable, and chasing foxes to find the dens got old as well. It's a good first attempt at the Ubisoft open world blueprint but to me was inferior to AC Black Flag, Origins, and Odyssey so there's room to improve with the sequel.

I could get lost in Tsushima for 100 hours. I haven't played it since 2020 and I barely remember it, but I do remember it was indeed magical.

Is game stop going to take pre-orders of stuff like the basic controller?

That’s actually all I want. I finally had a controller start to fail so I kinda want to buy from there for the trade in.

I have a buddy in trades that worked on this project and he said it's absolutely wild.

This looks like a new take on Chromo Trigger.

Octotime Traveler?

The inspiration from Chrono Trigger is a little heavy on this trailer, especially the eras in time they chose. It looks nice visually but I hope it's not too much of a Chrono Trigger clone.

The new Zelda looks like lots of fun, but the performance is mixed. Maybe it should have been a Switch 2 launch title.

Managed to grab one of each of the 30th anniversary stuff. I really wanted the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary, but it was obviously so limited, never stood a chance. Damn Bestbuy was an absolute nightmare to try to go through. Either way, still really happy I managed to grab the other stuff, just love the look and the nostalgia.

Pretty embarrassing when a brand new game plays better on PC through an emulator at launch than it does on the actual hardware

Retro Game Corps once mentioned getting better performance in some games using an emulator on an unlocked Switch.

Huh? This has been the case for lots of Switch games. It's an underpowered system compared to almost any PC.

The problem with the Switch is the controllers. The cost relative to quality is wildly disproportionate. I’m frankly blown away they didn’t work on the controllers and get them improved over the lifetime of the system.

Customers shouldn’t have to take apart your hardware and fix your #### every 6 months, let alone if you’re charging $100 for some plastic and wires.

All the consoles of this generation have quality control issues. The only one that feels priced "appropriately" this generation is the Xbox controller, but the PS5 and Switch controllers are priced the same, and really...aren't they all "plastic and wires"?
