I can list it in AuD if you like.

A device with 0 availability and 0 games, yet impossibly in demand. The robber barons of the last century couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect scenario.

I think Returnal + Ratch & Clank are worth having.

Not for $250 AUD combined though :laffo:

They raised the prices for sony first party on ps5 to 70 dollars and then decided for markets that were already paying that they could raise it even higher

Has Returnal been selling ok?

I like Housemarque but pricing one of their games at £70 felt like a weird decision

Still selling at around full price so it's either selling okay or it's not been out long enough for retailers to start wanting to get rid of stock.

Honestly it's probably the best time to release something like that, people who would normally never touch a roguelike desperate to play something that actually looks like a next gen game lol.

Finished Demons Souls yesterday and I have been thinking and mulling over that there are two From trilogies.

DS1 - DS2 - DS3 is the obvious one.

But ALSO

DeS - BB - Sek is a trilogy, with a clear progression in terms of gameplay, style and improvements.

I want to think about this more but I think the Alternate Trilogy is the best one.

if i may, i think its

des - ds1 - ds2
and
bb - ds3 - sek

They were always niche, the last couple (or more) were a mess, From struck it big with a popular game formula and can now only do that.

Looking forward to sitting at cyber bonfires if they ever make a new one.

It's listed for $60 on Amazon USA.

Where are you?

Aus yeah

we get absolutely loving shafted for games prices, and pretty much every publisher under the sun jacks up prices to ridiculous levels

excuse used to be the variance in the exchange rate, so it was particularly egregious a few years ago when the USD and AUD were 1:1 and the cost was just as high.

getting harder to justify the longer time goes on tho, $125 for a game just sits in my craw as too loving much

As much as I love the Dark Souls games, I definitely agree that the other trilogy of From games is the better one. Each of those games is one of my favorite games of all time. It's hard to explain this feeling for games with such hostile worlds, but booting up any of those three just has this weirdly welcoming feeling, like I'm coming to some sort of video game home. The other games that give me that feeling are much more understandable--relaxed fantasy games like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy IX--but for some reason, Demon's Souls and Bloodborne especially are like, "ah yes, I'm home, time to kick back and have a nice time."

Last Celebration

Yeah, I really liked what I played of the Souls trilogy (beat 3, got the lord vessel and to Manus in 1, idk where I stopped in 2) but Bloodborne is the one that really made me think, “man, this is an amazing game, no wonder people dump hundreds of hours into this”. Then again that’s partly cause BB’s only non-chalice dungeon flaws are running out of vials and not having more robust options for NG+ so you can start with a fresh character but with all the badges that let you buy the sick late game weapons.

I like EVERYTHING about Souls games except the bosses. I'll take stat check/puzzle bosses over pattern and timing memorization.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Bosses are what I like most about Souls games, it's the everything trying to kill you every 10 feet that annoys me.
