Do you want to? Because they sell games in shops now, you could just buy them.
I have too many things to play, I was thinking of getting Bloodborne and Yakuza 0 definitely interests me but I might wait until they're on sale or something.

I'm playing Tomb Raider 2013 and got through the Solarii base etc. I'm back at the beach now and we have to fix the boat. How much is left in the game? I'm enjoying it but the whole "escape" sequence felt very end-of-game. Also I'm worried that Lara is going to explode and/or burn down the rest of the island, or that more of her friends will be murdered in front of her. :ohdear:

You don't get anything neat for collecting all of it other than a single reference to old TR games, anyway. :v:

I loved the the second one, but TR '13 will always be better in my head. More interesting enemies to fight.
I've never played a TR game outside of 2013 so that won't do much for me. :v:

Aside from a few bullshit fights (Shanty Town :argh:) it has been pretty fun.

Yeah I got Yakuza 0 yesterday, I only played about an hour but the combat feels really laggy and unresponsive so far, even in Rush style. Like I'm trying to do combos, hit Square 2 or 3 times followed by Triangle, but he doesn't do the knockdown move. Maybe I'm just going wrong with the timing, I'll have to play around with it a bit more.

Also is it just me or is the karaoke stupidly difficult? Like when you get to the end of the 2nd row of inputs and have to return to the start of the first row but whoops in the millisecond that it took you to focus your eyes you missed 3 inputs. I don't know why they couldn't just have the inputs scroll along the bottom of the screen or something. I feel like it just generally goes very quickly and expects you to hit a lot of different inputs. It probably doesn't help that I still sometimes forget which buttons are which on the Dualshock.

I have a question about Persona 5, the interrogation cell scenes are apparently set six months in the future, but the calendar wraps around all the way to March of the following year. I take it that framing device is only for half the game?
It seems like it, I mean I didn't get the impression that the opening scene of the game was at the very end of the game. For starters, I only had 1 Persona and it was my starting Persona. :colbert:

Again, it looked like a solution to beating a boss/enemy in the game, not "basic game mechanics".

I mentioned this in the PS Store thread yesterday but I find that both they and Smyths will effectively Price Match whenever there's a sale on the EU store. You have to get in pretty quick before they sell out their stock, but you can reserve or Click & Collect.

It downloads updates etc automatically, which is handy when you're working and doing other things, and don't have an entire day or evening to play games.

I feel like there have been like 8 “best metroidvania ever” candidates in the last two years, they keep coming out and people keep loving them apparently
Also Hollow Knight is apparently both the Best Metroidvania Ever and also the Worst Metroidvania Ever.

P4 is better than P5 in some ways, and worse in others.

P5 has a ton of problems, but I love its visual style and music (4 does have great music though), the dungeons for the most part and also the fact that it has negotiation. It just gets too railroad-y/expositiony for its own good sometimes (4 does also, just maybe not to the same extent).

Nice one, thanks! I never think of checking Smyths for games.
Gamestop is so loving terrible that it's practically the only option. Argos can be good too, although KC is €54.99 there.

e: Also I know you're anti-preorder, but I noticed that recently Smyths are also giving €5 off if you pre-order games. I got Bayo 1+2 for Switch last week for €49.99 because I "pre-ordered" it about a week beforehand. It's a nice bonus if you know you want the game, and sure if you change your mind they don't actually charge you unless you pick it up. If you don't pick it up, they stick it on the shelf after 2 days.
