Yeah I don't begrudge that a bunch of people will get to play a good game that they haven't had a chance to yet... But as for me I'll remember the month that had Farming Simulator as a better bargain lol

I’m still on my PS3 fam. Didn’t like the PS4 launch & lack of games/BC, and didn’t like the PS5 launch either

Also, the PS+ version of FFVII is not eligible for the free PS5 upgrade.

So it looks like the PS+ version cannot be upgraded to the PS5 version at all.

It's still really cool to see one of the biggest games from last year given away for free to PS4 players. Completely unexpected, just gotta be thankful for what we are given is all.

I just wanted to live in Nier's world (weird as that is). I loved running, sliding, and gliding around the serene expanse, seeing nature's reclamation while listening to haunting music that's constantly shifting and being manipulated in various ways.

Yeah, for me it was both the soundtrack and 2B's movement just feeling so drat satisfying. I normally don't do "Race this dude" sidequests/minigames, but I did the ones in Nier Automata because the sliding/gliding just felt so drat good. I haven't played other Platinum games, so I don't know how they compare.

Speaking of, Solar Ash looks loving amazing and I'm stoked as hell to play it.

i enjoyed remnant a lot when i got it free on epic. i will say that even if you are a person who likes to play games blind you should stop before boss fights and look up what weapons the boss drops and how because the choice could make a very big difference to how much you're enjoying the game. if you hate melee and a boss drops a cool gun but you kill it to get he melee drop you'll be sad.

Folks don't sleep on these Turok ports, they're great classic FPS games and just amazing ports. I played through most of Turok 2 on Switch and it kicked rear end. Think I'm gonna double dip and get the full bundle on PC.

I don't think I got past the first stage back when Turok 2 was released on N64, so I don't think I can blame my good time with it on nostalgia. It's just a really good 90s FPS, I'd say buy it if that sounds good to you. If you enjoyed Doom 64 then I think you're all clear.

The first one is great fun.
The hub-based design is really cool and it has loads of secrets. I loved it. The AI isn’t amazing so it’s not that hard.


Second one is insanely confusing even with the new QOL improvements. I gave up after a few levels I was so lost.

Rinkles posted:

you can start a new campaign, but there are several boss fights with two possible bosses and whichever one spawns into the world is random. also i can't speak for how anyone else plays games but i definitely didn't want to spawn a new campaign to try out the other different bosses instead of proceeding with the game.

what determines which weapon drops differs from boss to boss, which is why i said you should look it up before going into the fight. there are certain conditions you need to meet to change which of the two weapon drops you get. for the most part (my memory isnt perfect it may just be actual default) i think you get the gun by killing the boss normally and the melee by the alternate method, but at the same time you can accomplish the alternate method by accident during the fight.

being vague for spoiler purposes one boss if you shoot it in the legs enough will change its attack patterns and then drop the alternate weapon drop.

boss weapons all have unique mods on them that makes them very different than regular weapon drops, and generally speaking they're usually what you end up using for most of the game, or at least what i did, so if you get a weapon type you hate from a boss drop i feel like it can really drastically hurt your enjoyment of the game. especially the first one you get, if you hate the third boss weapon you get you've probably got options you like.
