Yeah, this is one of those things where they're branding it like a fresh start and PR says it's a "perfect entry point for newcomers!" but if you ask fans they'll tell you you absolutely should not start there. Kinda like Cold Steel III. Basically never fucking trust PR.

 

It's why I'm so annoyed they're dropping the 7 for the western release and trying to pass it off as a reboot. It's really not.

Ah ok, yeah I don't really look at game reviews anymore tbh. I've come to realize they're completely useless to me. These days I just kinda know what I'm interested in. So either I'll buy the game regardless of review scores or I'll take a quick glance at metacritic and opencritic to know if I want to wait for a sale.

Astro's is so good, and it's the one I would recommend you start with. I platinumed it in something like 4 hours.

 

The only downside is that it makes such good use of the DualSense that all the other games will seem like letdowns in comparison. ? (Not that they're bad, just that they don't stand out as amazing like Astro's does.)

Gamestop has a sale going on, and I had a gift card from trading in my PS4 Pro, so... (I already got the black friday ad, so I know all of these prices are less than or equal to the black friday price).

 

*Edit - I don't know why the embeds aren't working, so I put the game names with each picture.

Well, as long as you realize you have a problem...

 

I have a feeling the best way to help you is probably to force you to play that last one in its entirety before allowing you to buy or play anything else. Like the video game equivalent of a dad catching his kid with a cigarette and making him smoke the entire pack.

These days I barely even buy the few games I do want to play. My secret: spending all my money on books instead. Seriously, I can't fucking stop. I already have enough of a backlog to last me like halfway through next year but I keep buying more. So I'm really in no position to judge you. ?

Of course, RIGHT after I post this, there's a Steam sale and I notice that MS and EA somehow never got the memo that discounts aren't supposed to be this good anymore.

Seriously, can't remember the last time I've seen something like Gears 5 go that low just a year after launch. It just doesn't happen anymore.
