Got bored and made a tiermaker of the Hall of Greats entries.

I think the only one that I'm 100% going to play is the Iki Island Expansion for Ghost of Tsushima. Absolutely can't wait for this one! It's shaping up to be at least on par with the main game, and it seems meaty enough for me since it's basically the length of 1 act.

The next few games also interest me, but I might just get them later since I'm focused on catching up on PS5 exclusives this month.

Hades (August 13) and The Falconeer (August 5) port for PlayStation (it's going to be available on every big platform)

Road 96, a procedural road-trip-esque narrative game set in a country with political turbulence. Coming August 16 for Switch and PC.

@scotty That's very fair. I kinda already mentally prepared myself that this Sony is going to be different from their past selves, so I'm not as doom and gloom as many people.

@scotty it just means that next year's a crazy one for them, lol. Imagine Ragnarok and Forbidden West coming at next year, plus other stuff like Forsaken. I think this year is still pretty good overall for them despite this delay, especially comparing it to PS4's first year.

Started Demon's Souls. Boy, this game is kicking my ass. I'm loving it though. This is the kind of Souls game that I've missed, as someone who didn't really enjoy Sekiro. The slower paced combat is just sublime, and it controls like a dream. Also, the game's a technical marvel. The visuals, sound design, DualSense rumble, it's such a joy to experience this.

I also played a bit of The Last Guardian, ran the unpatched disc version on PS5. It runs at a super smooth 60 FPS, and it's simply beautiful. I'm gonna replay the whole thing, my only fatal complaint with the game has been pretty much eradicated.

I'm in the next gen now, baby!

1. Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)
2. Spider-Man 2 (2004, PS2 version)
3. Ultimate Spider-Man
4. X-Men Origins Wolverine (PC version)
5. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions
6. Spider-Man 3 (PS2/PSP version)
7. The Incredible Hulk (2008, PC version)
8. Spider-Man 2 (2004, PSP version)
9. Blade II
10. Ghost Rider (2007)
11. Iron-Man (2008, PSP version)
12. Spider-Man: Edge of Time

I feel like the only one that I have no positive feelings about in this list is Edge of Time. It was just boring an absolute waste of time. Also, there's a big gap between top 4 and number 5. I'm also listing versions I played in some of the games because they're just straight up not the same game in many cases.

Yeah, September's much busier. At least I don't have to choose between this and the GoT DLC next month, lol.

@dipset honestly I'm cool with this being as janky as you described. I feel like it having absurd production values would somehow make it more intimidating to me, lol. I just want to play it somewhat casually. Never played a F1 game before (or watched it IRL), so this is a bit exciting. I'll probably wait for a sale though.

@dipset have you tried the story mode stuff? I'm kinda into the idea of something like that in a racing game, so I'm curious about this one.
