Andrew POE!

I don't know how I feel about Xbox Series X. I can't really say I'm excited for it but I like how it is backwards compatible all the way to the first Xbox (Panzer Dragoon Orta in 8K???? Melt my eyeballs). The name sounds like an add-on rather than a brand new console. I would think it would be like the "PS4 Pro 2" for Xbox One based on the name. The design looks like a minitower PC...not really something for a living room, but more for an office. The specs sound great. But it hurts to see Hellblade II not on PS5. Stupid Microsoft and their moneyhatting/buying developers.

This doesn't bode well at all for the game, especially since it's a port of a 10+ year old Gamecube game.

Untitled Goose Game is out next week on PS4. And Axiom Verge 2 is on Switch next year. What a time to be alive.

Bayonetta/Vanquish are coming to PS4/Xbox One in February 2020. If you didn't get them the first time around on PS3/360, GET THEM NEXT YEAR.

I beat Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare this morning and the game had me wondering if they were going to do an ending that is a gut punch. But they didn't. Also, working through Battleborn and it is more grindy than Evolve, Red Faction Guerrilla, and Killzone Shadowfall combined. It's doable and I should have it done by the January 2021 shut down date, but man is it annoying to do.

All Nintendo needs to do is release Legend of Zelda Maker and people will buy that. You can then make your own Zelda II, Link to the Past, The Minish Cap, and others.

Oh yikes, Rayman Legends. Apparently, it will take FOREVER to get to the final level of awesome. Glitched Murray diamond ranks is the way to do it.

Got my 156th Platinum trophy with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for PS4. The flying controls are complete garbage, but a lot of the game was fun. The last 3 levels seemed a little rushed where the minikits/Stan Lee were easy to find. Open world events/races were fun. I guess I'll do this again on PS3 someday.

Persona 5 Royal has a US release date of March 31, 2020. Everything is coming out in March apparently.

This week we have Saga Scarlet Grace Ambitions and Star Ocean First Departure R for your JRPG goodness on PS4. The End of the Year Sale is what the Black Friday sale should have been on PS4. I found some more Artifex Mundi games to get that I will (hopefully) play soon.

If they have a remake of Resident Evil 4 for PS5, I will probably buy the system for that.

Dude doesn't take a shower when he wakes up? Yuck.

Got my 155th Platinum trophy with Killzone Mercenary on PSVita. The online is completely dead and I boosted it when there were still people playing. It is likely to shut down next year (since Killzone 2 and 3 have been shut down). Great campaign, but 10,000 kills trophy made it VERY old. Playing the same mission at least 50 times just to grind kills. I recommend it but if it weren't for that, I would say go for the Platinum.

My Black Friday haul: Zombieland Road Trip Double Tap, Need For Speed Heat, Disney Classics Aladdin & Lion King, Baldur's Gate I & II Enhanced Edition, Planescape Torment & Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition, The Sinking City, Greedfall, Shenmue III, Root Double Before Crime After Days (a weird US port of a Japanese Vita game), Mortal Kombat 11, Plants Vs. Zombies Battle For Neighborville, Bendy & The Ink Machine (it's BioShockish), and Ghostbusters The Video Game Remastered. All for PS4. A few have online trophies. Got a bunch of Switch/3DS games which I may play (DKC Tropical Freeze, Octopath Traveler, Etrian Odyssey Nexus, Persona Q2). Currently working on Killzone Mercenary and got 2 missions left for Precision contracts then an endless grind for money and kills for those trophies.

Yikes, I gotta work on the Platinum for it and just remembered I own a copy of this. Supposedly, it's doable and will take 80 - 100 hours to complete. I'll have to buy the DLC for 4200 platinums (in game currency).

No, you're correct. I would complain quite a bit about the games I would play in the past. Whenever I would post that a game is terrible....believe me, it's terrible and I have the Platinum to prove it now lol. I managed to do Killzone 2 Platinum (still one of the toughest ones I've ever done and the most rewarding), Warhawk (300+ hours of grinding), Starhawk (less grinding but still a lot). I also got 100% of the trophies in Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 for PS3. I kinda wish I did SOCOM Confrontation, MAG, and MotorStorm Pacific Rift but what can you do. 007 Legends was really tough to do, especially the level trials and challenge modes. I'm either going to finish up Medal of Honor Warfighter (there's a trophy to complete the game without dying otherwise it wipes your progress and you have to start over) or do LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for PS4 (because doing tough as nails Platinums gets old after awhile).

Got my 154th Platinum trophy with 007 Legends! I DO NOT recommend that you get this game. The gameplay is mostly broken and it seems very rushed and unpolished.

Portal 3 in VR would be entirely better than what we saw in the trailer for Half Life: Alyx. I personally can't stand hands only on screen in VR.

Valve can GTFO with that. It's either Half Life 3 or it's nothing. People have been asking for HL3 for over a decade and this feels like Valve is trolling rather than doing something people want. I don't want a tech demo for VR with a secondary character. If Alyx is going to get her own game, it better be good.

I'm still trying to Platinum FFXIII but Good God do I have to do a lot of walking around in the lower world for it and maxing out stuff before the endgame because 1 enemy type won't be there after the end of the game.

I really don't like how Microsoft pulls off stuff like this. It's so petty. Dontnod will probably get bought next by them and will work on a survival horror online multiplayer game next just because. (I really wish this was coming to PS4)

The first 30 minutes of Jedi Fallen Order is online through Youtube and it...looks awesome. My copy is coming.

If you really fucking the Tomb Raider reboot series, Stadia got you covered.

Yeah, I followed a guide to get the Platinum. Did the same on the Vita version and will do the same for the European/UK version (when I get to it). I tend to try to play/Platinum everything nowadays that I have on PS3, PS4, and Vita including some hard/obscure/weird games. I have a Switch and there are some games I will play, but not nearly as often as the PlayStation. Trying to Platinum 007 Legends currently and it's somewhat hard.

I forgot to mention that I got my 153rd Platinum trophy with Pic-a-Pix Color for PS4. Nice cleanser after doing some hard Platinums like Sly 3, God of War III and Lost Planet III.
