So far I've managed to avoid pulling the trigger on that one, but it's basically just at "I'll wait until a sale".

Updated report on Death Stranding: Still weird as shit. I'm managing to follow the plot in terms of what I'm doing and why, but have no idea what's going on as far as the lore. Basically what I've got is "something something the afterlife, when you die to explode like a nuke, BTs = bad". Also, the gameplay is kind of super boring. Still totally obsessed with it for some reason though.

I learned that lesson when I bought a PS3 following the announcement of The Last Guardian.

Yes, they officially clarified that it is a standalone "expansion". So like New Light.

Yeah, I thought of that scene from LotR when I saw the oliphaunts elephants, then when I saw the bow...

My body is ready.

? ?

1 & 2 are so good. Can't wait for 3. I actually need to checked that I finished all the story missions on 2, I feel like they added more stuff after I played but I'm not sure.

Started Death Stranding today. It's weird as shit (which I expected). I'm 2 hours in, of which probably 1 hour 15 minutes was cutscenes (which I didn't expect but should have if I'd thought about it). I'm digging it though.

I'm not fully comfortable going all-digital because without being able to sell my games after playing them I can't afford nearly as many games (that's why I almost never buy PC games at launch or for full price). Also, get HYPE!

The reporting I saw said that cops aren't patrolling inside the CHAZ, but they are still responding to 911 calls and other emergencies. Which my reaction to that is "shouldn't that be how it is everywhere?" I honestly think the biggest part of the problem is patrol cops. They over-patrol poor/POC areas, and arrest them for petty ass shit that nobody would even notice in other areas, and just generally oppress them. Obviously that's not the whole problem by a long shot, but I think getting rid of patrol would go a long way toward easing tensions between the cops and the community.

Yeah, if P4G releases on PC I don't know how I can resist, but I also don't know when I would play it...

I say you get the point for Astrobot, but not VR yet since it wasn't clear. I also didn't count my "no VR" prediction correct yet because the season's not over and they might surprise me.

Let's see how I did: Well, only 5 right so far, not doing so hot. I'm not counting the others as wrong yet, because we're still in the E3 season, but it's not looking good.

I assume it includes the stuff that gets added, but I don't know for sure.

Yakuza 0, $4.50 on 2game Also the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, currently at 1125 games but they keep adding more.

Counter prediction: Sony will not mention VR at all. Not that there won't be a PS5VR, but they won't talk about it for quite some time.

I need to get that bundle, I keep forgetting.

Yeah, didn't Catherine Classic release on PC about the same time Full Body released on console?

Yeah, I know it's not P6, that was my attempt at being completely ridiculous in my optimism. I will totally jump on the P4G bandwagon though.

Bah, I want to get my hopes up but you are dragging them down into the muck of reality. I think it's Persona 6, and will be a simultaneous PC and PS5 launch.

@MetalCaveman Man, I really liked the first two Darksiders, but you're sure making me glad I never played 3. @deanb Yeah, any time a game requires me to remember something like that I always just take a screenshot. That's what I had to do with the safe codes in Persona 5.

I've never played much of a Kojima game before, but this one sounds weird enough that I want to give it a try.

Halo 2 Anniversary PC Halo 2 was always my least favorite of the Bungie Halo games, but it's actually better than I remembered it. I was posting on Twitter and Discord about how the Arbiter missions aren't good, but really it's only the first one. The ending is still absolutely horrible on its own, but obviously the blow is lessened substantially now by the existence of Halo 3 and the knowledge that I won't have to wait years and years to finish the game. Anyway, I don't actually know how to assign this a star rating, since it's got so much tied up with it, so instead I will just post my ranking of the Halo series: After several minutes of trying I've learned that's impossible too, so instead I will just say that I no longer consider this game worse than the other Bungie Halos (again, other than the ending). They all have their individual upsides and downsides, and this definitely fits in with the rest.
