That's disappointing. Sounds pretty bland. I thought of gifting it to my children for Christmas but they seem only interested in Roblox and Zelda.

So my sister finished SW Fallen order twice and requested the PS4 version of Jedi Survivor for Christmas.

Last Sunday, it was on sale for $20 on Amazon. I gave it to her last night with a note on the package saying, "Do not play until Christmas!"

She said, "oh hell no!" LOL

She's enjoying it quite a bit. Played it all night.

I miss those times when a new game captivated me enough to play for hours longer than I intended.

I had kind of kept my head in the sand to all the coverage until now, but I just realized that Dragon Quest 3 will not be available on the PS4. Looks like is trying to cut off as much support as they can for it, and what better way to get Japanese gamers to upgrade?

I'm a little bummed I won't be playing it anytime soon, but on the other hand, that's probably a good thing. As much as I love the game, I've played through it over half a dozen times in previous versions. The 2D HD version has a few extra features, but nowhere near enough to really make it a different experience. So justifying $60 to replay something I've played so many times before won't have to be a round of mental gymnastics for me.

Square Enix seems to be their own worst enemy. Don't support every platform that millions of people are currently using, then complain their games underperform.

Honestly, I don't think the Dragon Quest 3 decision is solely on S-E. Sony is struggling like hell to sell ps5s in Japan. The two companies have a really good relationship, and I wouldn't be shocked If Sony gave SE some financial compensation to forgo the PS4 In hopes of moving a few more ps5s.

Yeah, pretty sure Sony threw some money at SquareEnix to hold off on a PS4 version of Dragon Quest III 2D-HD.

If Sony threw money at them, why is it on Xbox Series, PC and Switch? O_0

Theoretically it would be to make up for the sales they potentially and likely miss out on by not having it available on the PlayStation. 4.

S-E is putting it on every other system in the world. So why not PS4? It wouldn't have taken any more work to make it cross gen. So it's omission by choice. And to me it seems like Sony has more to gain by that than they do.

I downloaded Valve's free Half Life 2 20th Anniversay update. Lots of improvements and bug fixes. I have it running at max settings 4K resolution with HDR. It looks amazing. It could almost pass for a current gen release, certainly more enjoyable.

I'm playing Jet Set Radio Future for the first time, and I don't know what people are thinking believing this is superior to Jet Set Radio.

The level design is confusing, constantly pressing start to find graffiti markers is annoying, graffiti dumbed down to just pressing the right trigger is dumb, grinding is too easy, wall riding is rare, and the soundtrack is far inferior.

One of the site's forefathers.

Play fighting games!

I kind of got burned out on Prince of Persia and moved on to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Metroid Prime.
