Wow. Goodbye Square Enix caring about Western developed games!
It's better this way. The westdev stuff that they tried to support never worked. They don't understand the western market. They should focus on their core competency because the world definitely doesn't need more western games whereas japanese ones are the rarities these days.

That may be true about SE execs, but is Embracer better? SE has popped out great games from these studios over the past decade. Is Embracer known for letting devs make great games or do they cost cut the hell out of stuff?

Speaking of Square, Saga Frontier Remastered worth the $17 and change?
It's OK. I played it on Switch. Still janky as all heck and the story is still ultra weak sauce. If you like Saga games sure, otherwise watch a review or 3. It didn't quite have the same fun feeling when I played it on the PSX ages ago IMHO.

May the Fourth be with you all! For some reason the Playstation site doesn't have a specific section for May the Fourth sales, but Starwars.com has the good stuff.

Edit: I should have searched Star Wars instead of May the Fourth.

Jedi Fallen Order for $10 is tempting for me, but it feels like something that will pop up on the new PS Plus/Now at some point.

It was already free on Twitch Prime for PC, so it's definitely possible.Jedi Fallen Order for $10 is tempting for me, but it feels like something that will pop up on the new PS Plus/Now at some point.

I don't know enough about Embracer to really say. All I know is, I really hope they go back to letting them focus on their own IP. No more Marvel stuff. I'm sick and tired of watching gaming mainstays like Deus Ex get backgrounded in favor of pre-existing IP that has clear limits on how imaginative the product can be.

It's funny, I hate the repetition and frustration of Souls and Rogue-like games, but I'll sit in my chair for hours trying to shave thousands of a second off of my friends best time on a GT7 license test.

Is anyone here familiar with Metro's home internet? I know they're advertising 5G like their parent company T-Mobile, but I also know from experience that Metro customers get deprioritized during peak hours in favor of T-Mobile customers. I would switch but I like getting Prime bundled with my plan. Streaming or cloud gaming is out of the question for me when I have crappy slow internet.

A lot of people have their repetitive comfort food for games and other things. For gaming mine is dungeon crawlers like Etrian Odyssey. I know people like those RPGs with repetitive combat (I've kind of grown out of that phase), but some people really like to just do something like getting beaten like crazy in Souls games, or match a bunch of candy in those type of games. For my anime watching my comfort food is the ecchi romantic comedy animes. They usually suck, but require so little brain power I can power through them quite easily.

I'm gonna start playing Guns of the Patriots today. The only other Metal Gear Solid game I have played is the Phantom Pain. Mgs4 leaves PS now in like 10 days so I'm going to beat it before then. I still wish PS3 games could be downloaded but I am sure I won't have any trouble streaming it. I have really fast internet. Something like 400-500 down.
Great game. I didn't have any issues streaming it; you should be all good with that speed.
The fact that the game is leaving PS Now in 10 days kinda ruins this, but if you had the chance, I'd suggest playing MGS 1 & 2 before 4. (3 optional since it's more of a prequel to all of them.) MGS4's story will be more meaningful if you've played those. And it's a very story-heavy game compared to MGS5.

Not an option unfortunately. People rave about 4 more so over any other MGS game is seems so I am okay with playing 4 first and then going back to the others if I feel like it and they are available to stream.

Well I have already played and beat 5. I had no idea what was going on most of the time and then google told me all the Metal Gear games are like that. I still had a blast with it though. There is no way I am going to buy all the metal gear games. I would then have to figure out which ones will play on my PS2 or PS3 and track them down. Too much work. There are just way too many games to play on PS NOW and Game Pass that I have already paid for sub wise. Someone wouldn't watch only Endgame since all the Marvel movies are on Disneyplus. It's not like all the Metal Gear Solid games are on PS Now and I am choosing to only play 4. It's either play 4 before it leaves in 12 days or not play it at all. Since it's gotten amazing reviews, I am choosing to play it. I got to the guy that trades weapons for points before saving and putting on the Penguins game. I will play a lot more tonight.

You done goofed. I don't see anyway how you will enjoy the story. Who is snake talking to. Why are they focusing on this girl from that squad. Who is this revolver ocelot. Why is he calling himself liquid. Is that a vampire? Who is this ninja? The gameplay is fine but very linear though.
So then I will check out a video summary on youtube.

I beat 5 without playing Peace Walker and I thought I didn't miss out on much. 4, however, references past games as it is the culmination of their stories. Then again, MGS stories are wack and you probably won't connect everything together unless you watch a lore video. My friends dragged me to watch the last Harry Potter movie opening weekend and I had never seen any of the prior movies so I didn't get very much out of that experience. But anyway, if you do choose to play 4, I think the game is worth a replay after you've had time to play the other games.
