Got to stage 5 and gave up. The game is too dark, it has a bad camera and the movement system makes it all feel very slow. It's just a frustrating experience.

AciD2 is way better. Bright palettes means levels are easier to discern what's what. Camera is improved to not always get caught behind the environment. Movement is smoother to execute (as is crawling/ standing/ leaning against the wall). Will probably finish it unless I hit a difficulty spike.

But I will say I hate the way Snake looks. Very awful attire.

I'm hoping the Ac!d games will become part of a collection in the future.

Speaking of collections, here's hoping Vol 2 of Metal gear collection comes out this year.

Experience PEAK!!! The build up of the music then drops the "WOLOLO" lol

This is certainly interesting. I got my invite to the Marathon closed beta and booted up the game just to see the menus since the servers aren't up yet. It started with the "Sony Interactive Entertainment Presents" followed by the PlayStation Studios logo.

Doesn't sound like Bungie is very autonomous these days lol understandably so.

Completed TMNT Cowabunga Collection. Was only interested in the Arcade, Genesis and SNES titles. Arcade because I recall playing them as a kid, Genesis because I have fond memories of the console (belonged to my older brother) and the SNES title because it's apparently regarded as the best TMNT game (unless I read wrong). Had no intersted in the NES or GB games.

I think it's a fun collection if you're interested in TMNT or want nostalgia for games you played. But I do think that besides the SNES title, they aren't particularly amazing beat em ups. But if it's a genre you like you may enjoy them as a change of pace. I was also surprised to learn of Karai... as someone who watched the older TV show and some other random stuff, I clearly didn't watch enough to even know who this character was. And all of a sudden she's like the final boss for the fighting TMNT games LOL

overall not a bad time. It was alright.

So currently for PS since December: $40 on special for 12 months. Lowest prices of games I've completed off PS+:
Stanely Parabale (-12.99)
Robocop (-8.99)
TMNT (-15.99)
= $2.53.

I hope my calculation was correct, and I am pretty sure those are the lowest prices any of those 3 games have been on PS+ (correct me if I am wrong). So all-in-all, my latest PS+ has been worth the price.

Maybe I should do Dragon's Age... I do have Sonic Colours to check out. Or wait till May.



This is the best sell of Marathon I've seen yet. Unedited footage of a full match. As you can tell, matches will be more PvE than PvP. Like yeah, there's other players on the map that you will eventually run into, but you're talking about a battle royale sized map with only 18 players total, or 5 teams of 3 players.

So most of your time will be fighting bots as well as mini bosses they're calling high value targets.

Really my only complaint would be the graphics, which can't dock too much on as this is the alpha build of the game, but in its current state, it's bordering Ubisoft level of downgrade from trailers to gameplay reveal lol. But I imagine it's intentional design so the game isn't too demanding considering the expectation would be that this game lasts a long time.

Stellar Blade vibes



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

My personal opinion about why they are showing the Ghost of Yotei release date now and not wait for their show at the end of May is because now they know GTA6 is going to release at the end of October and they want the extra month of preorders.

This year only has 9 months for them to sell stuff and the 4th one is about to end, clock is ticking. Does this mean they won't release anything in July or August? Funny enough I don't think so but let's see.

We haven't seen a full sequence of gameplay yet, they can show that in their show to sell the game to those who need more reasons before buying, other reasons than Sucker Punch being very good in what they do and Ghost of Tsushima being awesome lol.

Can't be a coincidence that GoY is releasing just 2 weeks after Borderlands 4. There's no way Take-Two would release one of their own large games so close to an even substantially larger game lol. So even if Sony doesn't know GTA 6's exact release date yet, it would be safe to assume it won't be too immediately after B4 releases lol.

Nearly everything shown in GoY so far has been "here's more Ghost of" which is not a bad thing at all and will immediately sell quite a few on the game already. There has to be another SoP soon I imagine with shadow dropping the release date.

Great to finally have Yotei release date, looks like we will be on a targets hunts pretty much like Kill Bill, which is awesome.
Can't wait for it!



Oh okay, looks like some clarification was made. So for $60, you get the base game along with all 9 current expansions.

Probably looking at 500 hours here lol
