I'm hesitant to buy anything right now since we don't know what might be included in the new PS Plus tier(s).

 

Which I'm guessing is why we don't know what might be included in the new PS Plus tier(s), but it's making me sit on my hands anyways.

3 houses was probably weakest strategy FE to date, but the most waifu sim one.  so i guess depends on what looking for.  I'll agree it didn't catch as much but I'm probably more interested in warriors because of that.

I don't even mind so much that there's some waifu sim focus - though I don't particularly care for it, either - but it's that you essentially had to spend completely inordinate amounts of time running around your castle. I get that something has to exist outside of the battles to drive the character arcs and overall story narrative forward, but my god was it overblown for my taste. I didn't even make it through one playthrough, honestly.

 

I just want to battle. But I want tactical battles, not Warriors-style. Fell Seal scratched the itch for me.

Sweeet. I've been wanting to give Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning a go. Almost bought it.

 

Hope you enjoy! I think free is the right way to try/play. Personally, I found it translated to 2020 very poorly, which was disappointing as I was excited to revisit it.

my metroid dread finally came today but the sides were a bit damage, nothing I can do about but glad to finally recieve it. Hope yours come soon

Mine also came today. No damage on mine, but it was in packaging I've never seen before. It said 'TRANSFER' on it and it was definitely not standard Target packaging, so I'm wondering if it moved between carriers or even packaging for some reason.

 

Regardless, glad it's finally here.

Man, my copy of Metroid Dread is now showing as Thursday for delivery.  No updates since Friday on it, so I'm wondering if they lost it.  

 

Thanks FedEx Post.  

Mine says pending, and it's (supposedly) at a facility about 30 minutes away  :???:

Very highly - lots of fun, and lots of content. Brings some of the best parts of World into the mainline series and adds some new game changers. Can't imagine playing without wirebugs now.

 

Monster Hunter Rise $40 at Gamestop

 

Anyone able to recommend it?

When playing handheld, it has a headphone jack.  When playing as a console it has the same bluetooth audio that sony and MS put into their consoles (that is, none).

Yes, exactly my point.

I can't believe it's 2021 and a mobile gaming device still doesn't support bluetooth audio devices. I mean come on.

Torchlight III worth it at $19.99?  Heard it sucked but no idea if it has been improved with patches since launch lol

 

Aggressively not worth it at all (IMO).

 

For context, if it's helpful, ARPG is easily my most played genre. 2000+ hours in PoE, over 300 in Grim Dawn and Diablo 3 each, about 150 into Last Epoch (my current choice - but PC only), and probably about 100 in Torchlight 2 (which I did enjoy). And probably over 1000 back in the day on D2.

 

Torchlight 3 really does just suck. It's sad.

I was planning to pick up a second DualSense when they announced a black version, but that red one is too sweet looking to pass up. Preordered!

It does look sweet. I'm a little disappointed they aren't leading with a blue, though. It seems like blue is the accent color for the console (no surprise), so I thought that was a pretty natural match for first color release.

I see the list of sales and at the top is:

 

  • 1 Blue Orb
  • 100,000 Red Orbs
  • 2 Blue Orbs
  • 5 Blue Orbs

and my first thought was those are some weird names for games.

You should play 1 Blue Orb before 5 Blue Orbs, but 2 Blue Orbs is skippable IMO.

Microsoft are the ones needing to makeup market share, not Sony. There's a reason Xbox has so many of these "deals" and Sony doesn't. They don't need to.

 

Not saying it doesn't suck, it's just financially where they (and therefore, we) are at.

Definitely would have hopped on this if either Miles Morales or Demon's Souls was on the list. Cyberpunk and PS5 NBA 2k21 I'm there for, but there's no other title I want. And I can wait on NBA 2k21.

 

Oh well. Thanks OP.

Saw that Final Fantasy XIV Online Starter Edition is free and also gets you a free 30 day sub with it:

 

https://store.playst...000010000000000

 

Seems to end 5/26:

 

https://square-enix-...aystation-store

Thought it was also worth noting that, even if you're a PC subscriber, if you've never had the PS version (either PS3 or PS4), you can get this and add 30 days to your account. This is a result of the games acting separately per system, but with a shared account, and this seems to be system-based.

 

I only wish this applied to me, lol. I started playing again and would love a free 30 days.
