Eiyuden Chronicles Rising is on Game Pass I'd any of you have that, idk what all it released on but from my understanding it's a prequel to Hundred Heroes and it was pretty awesome, I binged it until I had 100% and enjoyed every minute of it. Really looking forward to Hundred Heroes

I was surprised how enjoyable I found this to be. I expected it was going to be something I would have to trudge through to unlock something in Hundred Heroes but once I started to play a bit it became one of those games where I always found myself saying "I'll do this ONE last thing and then shut it off" and end up playing for another hour.

PS5 Entering ‘The Latter Stage of Its Life Cycle’, Sony Says - IGN

After sales of the PlayStation 5 failed to meet expectations, Sony has said the console is entering “the latter stage of its life cycle.”
www.ign.com www.ign.com

“Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle,” Matsuoka is quoted as saying. “As such, we will put more emphasis on the balance between profitability and sales. For this reason, we expect the annual sales pace of PS5 hardware will start falling from the next fiscal year.”

What do you make of this statement? PS5 hasn't even been out for 4 years yet. Don't Sony consoles usually last like 6 to 8 years? Are they already thinking about releasing ps6 next year? 2026?

It means that it likely won't outsell the PS4. This generation was fumbled by Sony having too few first party games and doubling down on zero diversity. They lost sight of the market and its shift to mobile--the largest platform now factoring in age groups that grew up playing on their phones becoming the majority. What this means for the industry as a whole is people don't give a shit about brand loyalty, or where they can play. Plenty of games out there and people will play wherever is convenient.

This is why Sony was pushing live service games, but failed to realize how rapidly the landscape changes for AAA to catch. They tried to pivot and fell flat on their face. The one win they got was old leadership getting the boot and realizing the numbers in expanding outward rather than in. I'd love to see them market as broadly as Xbox and Switch in addition to PC, but I doubt they can see past their own stubbornness. MS might make the first move today, so I'm very interested to see how this all plays out.

I HIGHLY recommend Helldivers 2. It is so much fun, and just an all around good time.

I'll be honest: wasn't even on my radar until seeing it was on PC and how much it reminds me of Planetside sans the PvP. I'm hooked on Enshrouded for now, but this looks like an eventual pickup. May be sooner than later considering it's just a month and change to Dragon's Dogma 2 now.

Still time to edit your post homie
 
Sony has fumbled but not with the games. For PS+ though F the price hike. I'm very likely to not renew once my sub is done in June unless I get a good price on essential. Also I'm not sure the PSVR2 is doing anything honestly. Also that stupid $200 game player thing was not to my liking. I'll still always choose Sony because of the Japanese developer support, but it's not roses and all with them. Also the censoring is garbo.
 
I mean most PC games have decent pre-order % off even for popular games, get better discounts because of many stores holding sales (that's why it sucks when it's only on Steam), possibly run better, and other things. I get my RPGs and niche games when they're on consoles or exclusive to consoles, otherwise I'll get them on PC or just add them to my wishlist and get them bundled or on good sales.

Just as a heads up "Rising" and "Chronicles" are designed differently (for better or worse)...

Hundred Heroes is designed as a sprawling role-playing game with turn-based combat and a large number of companion characters, Rising is intended to be a smaller project in scale, with its key features being fast-paced combat, town-building mechanics and 2.5D platforming.

I am aware of that which is why I did not expect to enjoy RIsing. It looked more side scroller action which isnt usually my thing. I was (am) a huge fan of the Suikoden series (the first three at least) so was looking forward to HH since I heard about it.

PS5 Pro 'Likely' Out Later in 2024, Analysts Say - IGN

Sony is “likely” to release a PlayStation 5 Pro later in 2024 and ahead of the launch of GTA 6.
www.ign.com www.ign.com

This will be a bummer seeing as I bought the slim a couple months ago unless the slim doesn't get a price cut and the PS5 Pro is $600. What is more likely to happen is that this will be $500 and the slim will be discounted. Does it go down to $400 and the digital go down to $300? Maybe $450 and the digital to $400?

No this is one I haven't played yet that I thought wouldn't leave the service. Oh well guess I will buy it digital on sale in the future.
I'm not going to get to this buy March 19th.

Luckily Tchia goes on sale pretty often and is currently on sale for 50% off.

I'll be playing through Tchia. The main story is apparently only 7 hours long but the platinum will probably take three times as long.

Was really hoping to playthrough Marvels Midnight Suns this month but seems like something always comes up which sucks since I actually bought the game. 😅 Hopefully I should get to it next. The rest of the games leaving PS Plus next month are all pretty good as well which I either already played or already own.

Midnight Suns is fantastic. I really loved that game.

I'm going to need Tchia to be about $10 before I buy it. I may try and fit it in before it leaves Extra.

Midnight Suns is hopefully up next for me. I'm almost done with Tiny Tina and Sea of Stars. I had to convince myself to go back to Sea of Stars (stopped to play Spiderman 2) instead of just going to Midnight Suns. I'm glad I did, but trying to remember how to get places and what I was doing has been a little rough.

Looked into Helldivers over the weekend and seems the server issues are unresolved so lost sale for now. Really sucks and I bet that $10b in stocks is stinging right now with the specter of Jim Ryan haunting them. Should've listened to Shawn, Sony.

I seriously need them to bring Tales of Destiny 2 (PS1) to PSN. I legit would not care if it were $50 instead of $10-20. Wouldn't even have to be visually upgraded. I wanted to buy that game 20 years ago and could never find it in stock and now the aftermarket price just makes me cry.

I have an XBSX and have not played any of those games. After my game pass trial ran out I never renewed. Plus I still have enough 360 & XBO games in the backlog. Maybe these can be elevated with the dualsense's features. The controller alone is why I get my multiplats on PS5.
 
HiFi Rush looks like something I'd like but I don't know about the rhythm gameplay. Wish they would release a demo for it when it comes out but most likely won't :cry:
