I want to pick up a copy sooner than later. But I haven't played the first 2 games yet. I prefer physical but I do see Atelier Ryza 1 on sale in the Eshop for $30. Should I get that or can I find a physical copy for around that price? I see physical copies of Atelier Ryza 2 on Amazon but not the first game.
I wanted a physical copy, and I've been looking on Amazon for months, but it still hasn't popped up. So I'll wait and pick up copies for Switch & PS5 like I did with Maiden of Black Water.
I started the Demo with Castti the Apothecary. So that's who I'm going with. My copy should be delivered today. I played Octopath Traveler on my Series X thru Game Pass to prep me for part 2.
It's hard to believe that it's been almost 5 years since Octopath Traveler 1 released.
When the Switch Lite was announced, I was one of those people who thought a Switch that couldn't Switch. What's the point? But I ended up buying one a few months after release (yellow) and it became my main since I play mostly portable. Then I bought the grey, turquoise, & Pokémon Sword & Shield lite consoles. Years later my Switch oled is my main portable go to because of the big beautiful screen and better battery life. But I sometimes use a lite to do some grinding in an rpg. Other then that they mostly go unused...
Aww, no Gyro is disappointing. Does it support local wireless play at least? If not, I'll stick with the Series X version on Game Pass for now. Is a physical copy available?
This weekend will be all about Dead Space Remake for PS5. Some single-player Goldeneye 007 on Series X. And Persona 3 Portable on Switch.
I started Dead Space last night, and wow, what a visual upgrade compared to the 360 version! The 3D audio sounds amazing also! Hopefully, it sells well, and we see a remake of Dead Space 2 eventually. And a brand new Dead Space game one day as well.
@Tm080201, I'll definitely check it out. I was thinking of picking up a copy on PS4 since it's going for $20. It will at least be an easy Platinum. Unfortunately, not all of the episodes are on the disc (only episode 1), which was also disappointing to me at least.
The only Life is Strange game I haven't played. I heard it wasn't that good years ago, so I skipped it. As a big fan of Life is Strange 1, Before the Storm, & True Colors, I suppose I should play this one at least. If a physical version is released for Switch, I'll pick up a copy after a discount.
Great game! I played it on my Series X thru Game Pass last year. It's definitely worth checking out. I'll be picking up a physical copy for PS5 when that releases. If Switch gets a physical release, I'll gladly double dip.
Last night, I gave in and downloaded the double pack of P3 & P4 for Switch after playing some of P3 on my Series X thru Game Pass. I haven't played P4 yet, but Persona 3 looks great in portable mode on my Switch OLED. These games are perfect for portable play, and I might be able to finish them vs. being tethered to a TV.
Hopefully, a physical version will be available soon. But at least the digital copy only costs $20, which isn't bad.
So far, I'd give Persona 3 an 8/10
Persona 5 Royal 9/10
Persona 5 was my introduction to the Persona world, and that game is absolutely amazing! I'm looking forward to playing P3 & P4 on my Series X thru Game Pass next week.
I would love physical copies of both games for Switch, so hopefully, those will come out at some point. I'd also like to play the older Shin Megami Tensei games.
@Friendly I assumed Bayonetta 1 was going to have a low print run for physical copies. So I made sure to pick up a copy asap! Idk where you live, but here in the US Bayonetta, 1 copies are sold out 😕. Right now, the cheapest way to get a physical version of Bayonetta 1 is thru the 10th anniversary bundle for PS4 & Xbox One. Hopefully, you are able to find a Switch version for retail.
I'm still only about halfway finished with the Switch version. Then, I started a new game on the PS5 version for the trophies. I should really stick to one version so I can actually get through the game 😵💫
I'm physical all the way because I prefer to own the games I purchase and will be able to play them anytime without a problem when the digital stores shut down (PS3 & PS Vita/Wii U/3DS). Plus, I love looking at my big ol collection of physical games on my shelf 🥰.
I understand the convenience of digital, and I'm not against it because I have subscriptions to Game Pass & PS Plus Premium. I know digital is the future, but I'm not looking forward to it being the only option along with streaming. It's sad to think that the next generation of consoles will probably be all digital 😕.
I played a little bit on my Series X thru Game Pass, and the atmosphere and old school vibes are great! I'll definitely pick up a physical copy for Switch & Playstation next month.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, everyone! I appreciate this site and all of the amazing people I've had conversations with on here over the past year!
Exclusive to the Square Enix store and already sold out? Wow! Why isn't this a standard retail release available everywhere? I'm not a lifelong or die-hard FF fan (more recently, actually), but I'd like to own the original games in a physical collection. Even though I think $75 is overpriced, I'd still pay it. Hopefully, Square changes their mind and makes this collection available to more retailers...
I decided to go with the PS5 version (will be delivered today) for 4K, 60fps, trophy support, and because I have FF7 Intergrade on PS5. It's nice to know the Switch version is good also. I'll probably pick up a copy after a price drop. It's just strange having Crisis Core on Switch & Xbox but not FF7 Remake.
I've been playing a lot of PS5 this past week and got the Platinum trophies for Callisto Protocol, Horizon Forbidden West, and Spirit of the North Enhanced Edition. I'm ready for Crisis Core.
Series X - I'm currently playing through Halo Infinite and Dead Space 3, both co-op with a friend.
Switch - I haven't played much this past week, which is rare. I still have a long way to go on P5R.
Another Bayonetta game so soon? Yes, please! After playing and completing Bayonetta 1, 2, & 3 back to back to back, I'm ready for another one! The art style looks amazing! Another Collector's Edition, please?
Dragon Quest 11 S Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition (such a long name) was my first Dragon Quest game, and it was an amazing experience! As a big fan of HD - 2D (Octopath Traveler, Live A Live), I'm really looking forward To DQ 3 Remake and DQ 12.
This weekend will be all about Callisto Protocol (PS5) when my copy arrives today.
Other than that, I bought a Seagate 2TB SSD for my Series X on sale yesterday ($359.99), so I'll be putting that pricy thing to use with some downloads on Game Pass.
Mabey, some Persona 5 Royal on Switch when I need a break from the other consoles. And, of course, watch some anime on my downtime.
Well deserved for such a great game! I picked up the Steelbook version for Switch Day 1 and a copy for PS5 on black Friday for half price. I'm really looking forward to Persona 3 & 4. Hopefully, with physical releases 🤞.
Trying to enjoy Pokémon Scarlet but the slide show framerate, pop in, and low resolution sure is making it difficult. I'm starting to get a headache staring at the screen. I'll probably wait for a performance patch or two before I play it again.
Oh well, back to God of War Ragnarok to get that Platinum. I still have Persona 5 Royal and Bayonetta 3 to finish on Switch as well.
Kinda wish I spent my money on other games instead of the Pokémon double pack 😒
Physical copies of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet tonight. I thought I'd have God of War Ragnarok finished before Pokémon came out, but not yet. Looking forward to starting Pokémon later this evening!
I enjoyed the Switch version for portability of course, but this time I'll play Witcher 3 on PS5. Hopefully they add some cool features for the Dualsense controller.
I have the double pack pre-ordered. I skipped most of the Pokémon games besides Sword & Arceus. Figured I'd start buying them to add to the collection. Everyone knows years later these games prices will only go up.
@Anti-Matter The PS5/Series X versions are dynamic 1800p at 60fps with VRR. Easily the best console versions of Sonic Frontiers. But that was to be expected...
Damn the Switch version looks bad. I prefer portable gaming, but not with this much of a downgrade. I'll go with the PS5 version. Was hesitant at first but after seeing reviews, I ordered my copy today. Will be interesting to see how Hogwarts Legacy runs on Switch. I'll be getting that for PS5 as well!
No downloads for me but my physical copies of BloodRayne Revamped 1 & 2 dual pack (after a year) and Death end re; Quest for Switch came in from Limited Run this week.
I'm still waiting on God of War Ragnarok (PS5) and my GOW Dualsense controller to be delivered 😒...
@JustMonika I have Shattered Memories for Wii, so mabey it's different from the PS2 and PSP versions? Besides motion controls at least. Silent Hill 2 is my favorite followed by SH1 and SH3.
@Lony85 Idk where you live, but here in the states you can pre-order Contra Anniversary Collection from Best Buy for Switch and PS4. They still Castlevania Collection also. Best Buy gets most of the LRG releases months after pre-orders have ended.
I'll pick it up for PS5 & Switch after a price drop. With God Of War tomorrow and so many other games coming out in the next few months, Sonic will have to wait.
I bought Shattered Memories a few years ago after beating Silent Hill 1-3 (started SH 4 but didn't finish it) and enjoyed all of them. I couldn't get into it and stopped playing after a while. One of these days I'll have to go back and give it another shot. However, I'm so hyped for Silent Hill 2 remake!
The demo was okay. I'll wait for a price drop and pick it up later. Right now all of my gaming on Switch is between Persona 5 Royal and Bayonetta 3. Pokémon is out next week and God Of War Ragnarok for PS5 on Wednesday. Bad timing for this to release...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 1st)
Since Resident Evil 4 Remake released it's taken up most of my gaming time and will continue to do so.
I finally picked up copies of Bayonetta Origins & Metroid Prime Remastered yesterday. I started Bayonetta last night and so far so good.
With Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, & Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse I still need to finish.
Re: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon Gets Free Demo, And It's Out Now
@old-dad I'm glad to hear it! Hopefully, the game sells well. More Bayonetta is always welcome!
Re: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon Gets Free Demo, And It's Out Now
Already have my pre-order put in, so I'll wait for the full release. The demo is good for those who are still on the fence.
Re: Review: Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse - A Long-Awaited Western Debut For Series Fans
I wanted a physical copy, and I've been looking on Amazon for months, but it still hasn't popped up.
So I'll wait and pick up copies for Switch & PS5 like I did with Maiden of Black Water.
Re: Hands On: Bayonetta Origins Is Shaping Up To Be An Elegant, Enchanting Spin-Off
It's one of my most anticipated games of March along with Resident Evil 4 & Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. Day 1 purchase for all 3.
Re: Poll: Octopath Traveler II Is Out Now, Which Character Will You Start With?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 4th)
Ever since Dead Space came out, it's consumed my gaming time. I'm currently playing through Impossible difficulty to get that Platinum.
I need to go back to Persona 3 Portable on Switch because it's been about a week since I played it.
Re: Mini Review: PowerWash Simulator - Scrubs Up Well On Switch
Aww, no Gyro is disappointing. Does it support local wireless play at least? If not, I'll stick with the Series X version on Game Pass for now. Is a physical copy available?

After beating Bayonetta 1 & 2, I started 3 this morning and so far it's amazing! Also a little Persona 5 Royal on the side.
On Series X I'm playing A Plague Tale Requiem.
And on PS5 I started The Chant yesterday and I'm trying to play and complete all 3 Mafia games before they leave PS Extra on the 15th.
