Found a Dragons Dogma 2 steelbook in CeX today for £37. Also picked up a couple of PS4 games (Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedon & Bound by Flame) and a couple on PS3 too (Dragon Age Origins & Prince of Persia).
Ahh good to know @Ralizah! I didn't know if there would be anything of important related to the original route that ties into the new Vengeance route and figured I'd ask!
Good luck with Persona 3 Reload by the way! I really hope you ending up enjoying it. Feel free to tag me if you post some thoughts about it on here!
I think some previews came out for Metaphor from Anime Expo and it's what you'd expect it to be. Perhaps even adhering a little too much to what they know...?

@HallowMoonshadow Vengeance is less an alternate story route and more 'this is what SMT V should have always been.' I suppose they included the original story so it wouldn't lack content from the original, though, and it allows them to market it as having two story paths.
Definitely! I hope I like it. FES never really sucked me in, so I'm hoping the improvements here make it more appealing to me.
I saw one of the previews for Metaphor just earlier lol. Fantasy Persona with DDS-style combat, basically. A MegaTen spinoff in everything but name.

Took me long enough but I finally have a PlayStation 5.
The PlayStation 5… without a doubt, my favorite thing on the PlayStation 5… definitely can’t wait to purchase a PlayStation 5 to get PlayStation 5 on my PlayStation 5…
No for real, happy for you sis!! Still don’t have a ps5 : ((
I’m too comfortable with my ps4… series s… switch… steam deck… to feel wanting a ps5, but it’s still been on my list forever despite that. Maybe one day.

@HallowMoonshadow Fabulous! Congratulations and welcome to the circus!
Similarly to previous generations, I started out with leaving my PS4 hooked up and planning to still use it from time to time, and then as the months went by I used it less and less and now when I try to turn it on and use it I am annoyed by how slow it is and how grainy some of the games look.
I still like the feel of the DS4 controller though, and when I pick it up I realize how much of a downgrade the DualSense is in the comfort department. But I love the haptics and the adaptive triggers, so it’s worth it.
The PS5 UI takes a little getting used to, but overall it’s fine. One of the first things to grow accustomed to is the fact that you don’t have to open an app to the store, it’s ever present on the cross media bar. Well… the first thing is actually getting accustomed to the behemoth size and awkwardness of the unit itself. It’s grown on me, but it’s still cumbersome to move and deal with, especially if you set it up horizontally on the little stand that keeps it floating in the air. 😅
Enjoy the exclusive (few) games, the upgraded boost and PS5 patches to existing PS4 games, and the much quicker download speeds! What’s your first PS5 game going to be? I hear Baldur’s Gate 3 beckoning… or perhaps Demon’s Souls Remake…?

Ahhhh fascinating! DualShock 4 is such a good controller. I still use it for my steam deck, it has served me for almost 9 years and it’s still alive and kicking : D

@Yousef- You can use the DS4 with the PS5 also, but only with playing PS4 games via backwards compatibility. I just wish the DualSense wasn’t angular on the handles and smooth like the DS4. It doesn’t nestle into the palm quite as nicely

Oh wow... This reminds me of an old meme I saw when I read scans of the manga series bleach back in the day... That makes me feel incredibly old

Awww thanks!!
The only modern console I have is a PS4 so... I could really do with an upgrade finally. Only took me half the generation!
Well I have to play Astro's playroom first and see what all the hubub is about with the dualsense controller @Th3solution! Especially after having a phone call with my daughter during my lunchbreak and she wouldn't stop gushing about it!
I have a few PS4 titles that also have PS5 version (both digitally and phyiscally). But it's a toss up between Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance and Baldur's Gate III for sure! Maybe SMT 5 just because I know if I play BG III I might be up til 3am or something

I have faith Astro will be to your liking. Japan Studio might be my favorite in-house Sony studio. Ape Escape is my favorite sony owned IP and it’s jam packed with love care. 3 is my favorite. You might be thinking, why isn’t that game on ps5
Uhh… about that, they might have to answer to Konami.. No I’m not making that up.
Writing this in a separate post for easier readability for HallowMoonshadow, ps4 and ps5 are both fantastic as an “only modern system”. Now, I do have my own biases, for instance, the reason I have an Xbox is to play Grand Theft Auto IV, my favorite game of all time. But the ps4/ps5 is a fantastic system!…. Mainly because of a different bias I have for niche Japanese games… I have my own peculiar hobbies but the Sony systems are generally great.

@Yousef- Interesting to know you have an Xbox just in order to play GTAIV, do you think you will ever try any of the Fable or Witcher games on there as well? I loved the first Fable and TW3 (admittedly I played that on Ps4, though).

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN I may have purchased Witcher 2 on a bargain sale. I tried it but got lost really quickly despite enjoying it so I might return to it. I have far too little experience in Fable to comment on it and don’t know what game is newcomer friendly or easy to get into.

@Yousef- Fable is really easy to get op in if you are willing to farm for xp for a bit, as, from what I remember, there is only a negligible amount of increase in xp price from level to level as you are spending your xp points on leveling up, and there are some very powerful spells that you can get your hands on as well.
Edit: Plus with all the options, like buying property, getting married and so on it's a bit like the open world rpg equivalent of gta.
@HallowMoonshadow Oh yes, definitely start with Astro’s Playroom. It’s a gem. But it sounds like your daughter has told you all about it. 😄
And with the news about the next big BG3 update coming in September, it might be worthwhile to postpone it (if you can stand the wait) and spend your time on SMT5. I’ve been waiting on this big Sept update to see what mods will be available and get the performance even better.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Ahh, fascinating, @HallowMoonshadow !! Do apologize if it sounded like I assumed ignorance, I just love bringing up Ape Escape.
You missed out, sis! Three is the best without a shadow of a doubt! The transformation mechanic adds a ton, and finally a female protagonist! Yay women. : D
God, I cannot convey to you my total adoration for the monkey minigame in Snake Eater. Hearing Snake shout enthusiastically shout the AE series’s iconic “Gotcha!!” Phrase every time he catches a pipo… he’s really loving it… really cures my soul : DD
(Oh, and since you’re from the UK, that must mean you experienced the superior British English dub. Now I personally love the Japanese audio as I find the voices really cute, but the British dub is objectively superior to the American dub and respects the original Japanese names too. It’s no competition at all.)

Darn right I have! It's not the best dub ever in terms of actual quality but it's quite charming none the less. Especially as most the voice cast for Ape Escape 2 is from Children's TV over here! (I actually haven't played Ape Escape 1 since it released back in 1999 so I can't recall that one! (It is on my wishlist though and I'll be getting it soon-ish!))
