  Platinum #154: Watch Dogs: Legion. Except for the collectables - which there were too plenty of - this one had a diverse and pretty neat trophy list. You had to recruit and use many different kinds of people, some of which were pretty hard to even find. All in all this was one of the longer platinum processes.

  @bam541 Well that's interesting I assume VV started working on the ports before the Blizzard merger thing, but if not maybe there is some hope that VV can do 3+4 after Diablo 2?

  @scotty Think what you wanna think but I don't think your anger is justified. You haven't paid for the game at all. You were given it for "free". I don't think Square reserving the PS5 version for people who have actually paid them money is all that outrageous.

  I think it would be fun to have multiple playable characters like in GTA V. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses. And have at least one female protagonist.

  @e_zed_eh_intern That's amazing. Hope it happens. More people need to experience that weird game. Those boss fights though are brutal hope they get a tweak. My next wish is for ShadowsHearts remaster/remake, spiritual successor. I even settle for a re-release.

  @shoulderguy I thiiiiink that fixed the issues! My PS5 has been in rest mode safe and sound for a few hours now. I think my TV turning off and on, regardless of HDMI port, was somehow effectively “pulling the power cord” from the PS5.

  As mentioned, Windows prob won't recognize your license and will need to be reactivated. It's a pain in the ass, and I normally just buy a fresh copy every time I build a new PC because talking to MS tech support is like taking a clawhammer to my own teeth. But your mileage may vary. I generally just do a fresh install every time I build a new PC and pay for a new license. Other than that, unless your current computer was running like Win XP or something, you probably won't have any issues. But yeah, back up your data regardless. Anything you don't want to lose. Photo albums, music, videos, etc.

  Metroid Samus Returns was everything one of these should be. It was far enough removed from the original to show noticeable technical improvements AND gameplay improvements not possible in the original version. The idea of remaking a game that is only 1 generation old, while usually justified economically, is not something I generally get on board with. Resident Evil 2, as many have said, is another great example and I assume Link's Awakening is too but I haven't caught that on a good enough sale yet to try it.

  Per Detroit Become Human, which is allegedly the best Cage game, I’ve been wanting to try it but now knowing it might be a All Lives Matter apologist narrative (based on something Tweeted out by the Quantic Dream CEO) rubs me the wrong way. Everything I’ve heard about the game plot leads me to believe it’s an oversimplification of slavery in the US and it has an empowering message, but I have yet to see anything from the studio that handles any topics with some sort of grace which kinda leads me to not trust the voice behind the game.

  Between TOHU and this, it seems that I can't resist the allure of good looking puzzle games this year. This looks jolly as heck and the dev's commentary makes it chill af. Apparently it releases this May. Youtube Video There's also this Metal Slug-esque game where you play as a goose, it looks fun. Comes out Spring 2021. Youtube Video

  @el-shmiablo Sorry, I like DkS3, I just don't think it's very ambitious or really does much to reel in new fans. It's nowhere close to Dark Souls II which came off like an essay essay that was started at 2am the night before it's due and handed it in at 10am. @E_Zed_Eh_Intern Actually, when GTA V first released, I was super excited about the return to zaniness, lot's of cheat codes and all that. But it wore thin over time. I still played the game for like 100+ hours in 2013-2014 on PS3, but it just wore out on me because I just didn't latch onto the characters, city, and especially the physics. I was really into GTA III and Vice City when I was even younger, and not even San Andreas did it for me as much as those other games did because the vibe was a bit off for me. Again, I still am very fond of San Andreas but something about that Mafia vibe in GTAIII, the crazy coked out 80s vibe of Vice City, and the mean streets of New York in GTA IV just connected with me a lot more than San Andreas or GTA V, but by the time GTA V was out, I just didn't have much desire to play it for years like I did with the prior games.

  Rather easy for me as it's pretty close to my 5 favourite overall. Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 and the Shenmue remaster are still all on my PS4 and I have Broken Sword downloaded on my Phone here.

  @dmcmaster I can definitely agree that the series can be split up into smaller trilogies or thematic trilogies as you put it, but without digging into Patrice's brain—I am fairly certain he was going for something between a psychological "mindfuck" piece of fiction mixed with a historical thriller. Then the feedback from Assassin's Creed came in and Patrice kinda split the difference between the modern day thriller plot, and the Renaissance storyline with a more typical open world game design. The action focus in AC2 is prevalent as opposed to the ancient-espionage vision that AC1 had. Those changes were especially noticeable in a post-Arkham world, so they needed to up the pace and smooth out the combat. All this to say, I think the "vision" of the series was one thing (thriller, mindfuck, espionage, stealth), but Ubisoft and Patrice switched gears really quickly into something that works better as an open world video game. -- So I guess the question on Game Thrasher was: Has Assassins Creed Betrayed its Roots? I guess I am arguing Ubisoft abandoned it's roots waaaaaaay before AC Origins. I don't think they "betrayed" it, but by having all of these smaller trilogies they definitely don't make this series trademarks easily identifiable other than climbing towers and haystacks.

  @el-shmiablo Sword and Shield wasn't too bad outside the Wild Area, which they clearly struggled with. Diamond and Pearl Remakes are outsourced to a dev studio who have only assisted on games and made Pokemon Home before this, and I agree those games look awful. I want performance too, but everyone keeps making damn open world and musous, which will inevitably end up really ugly or really poor performance, because people don't accept "less enemies on screen at once" these days. @bam541 I'm really not sure how BotW did it as a launch game, but I'm sure having twice as long of a dev cycle as those Pokemon games sure helped. Even then, there were afew hitch areas at launch and Korok Forest still does it bad, plus the Master Cycle Zero actually breaks the game, because it wasn't designed for you to go that fast period. The two Switch games that just feel like magic to me are Dragon Quest XI S and now Monster Hunter Rise. Both of those I just am in awe of. Those devs must know something about the hardware others just don't.
