Finally, i have a console of my own!

Hello! I found EZA first when i got bored one day and stumbled upon the awesome PSX 2016 reactions, and has been a fan ever since. Figured i sign up here and hang out with you guys since i have been looking for a forum to call home.

Nice to see the transparency, would be great if some other games do this too cough FF7 Remake cough. It's cool to see that they do care about the people who's excited about the game.

Game Informer's exclusive coverage of this game. I recommend at least watching the 131 rapid fire questions, it's very entertaining.

There's allies on Reddit, Resetera, Discord (the unofficial group). Although i love how "small" this forum feels (so cozy), new active members are definitely a good thing. We need forum shoutouts on the streams and shows or something like that.

Just finished Persona 5... man oh man what a ride this turned out to be. I'm completely floored by how marvelous this game is. The bold art style, the menacingly creative palaces, the adventurous bass-heavy music, and everything in between is executed to freakishly absurd degree of quality. I can't believe a game can keep me engaged through 86 hours, but this game just did, effortlessly. I did really enjoy Persona 3 (haven't played 4 yet) but i find anything Tartarus related in that game to be quite a frustrating monotony, and that was a considerable part of the game. There's nothing in Persona 5 that made me bored, or mad because it's lack of quality. I can't say anything bad about this game.

The Phantom Thieves' changed my heart, for the better. (10/10)

I'm REALLY excited for Ghosts of Tsushima in particular, i have been a big fan of Sucker Punch and i can't believe that they're making a game like that. Hoping for a deep dive similiar to Horizon Zero Dawn in past E3s.

I'm also interested to see how Sony sets up their conference this time. Last year's E3 got some heat because of how it separates the PSVR section from the rest, making it clearly boring for viewers. Maybe this time they mixed it up and show games accordingly to their genre, for example: showing a shooter VR game after the obligatory COD presentation.

I'm not sure who will get to show From Software's game; Sony or Microsoft? There's also a rumor that Devil May Cry 5 will be shown at Sony's conference, that would be awesome.

Also, Gorillaz announced a new album, "The Now Now", coming in June 29, and released two singles. I can't say i'm a Gorillaz fan (especially regarding their latest album) but the singles are pretty sick.

What does Aragami and Killzone Shadow Fall have in common?

Both of em' has a Dark Souls easter egg.

Also, this is the coolest thing i've seen this month.

That game package was dope, @iboshow

Platinum #16 - Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Finally, my Uncharted platinum trophy collection is complete. There's so many gimmick collectibles, and the bounty trophies remind me so much of the Destiny strike grinding sessions I used to do.

Oh dear.

The main deets about the console:

• 3rd generation Ryzen CPU
• the GPU is a custom variant of Radeon's Navi family, has Raytracing support
• The AMD chip includes custom unit for 3D audio
• it uses a SSD that "has a raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs"
• backwards compatible with PS4
• still accepts physical media

Another surprise! Hype.

This is one of the most entertaining and painful HoG session for me.

Kyle's presentation is both kinda convincing and super funny. Ben always showed great passion everytime he brings a game here but it's never been clearer than today. Damiani's presentation opening is a stroke of genius that got me hyped for a game I don't even like that much (I loved Kyle's rants too). Huber using his Huber Syndrome format for the presentation panders right to me, as a fan of his unrelentingly sincere positivity.

On the other hand, Ian's negative presentation is just... ugh. I hope the allies ban negative presentations like this in the future. It's not cool to just present games in a bad way just to get them banned. I hate this so much, and I haven't even played FF7. I hate it when Skyrim got similar treatment (although the presentation was genuinely good), and I hate this one even more. I get it, you don't like it as much as others do. Just pick another game. If you want to be quirky, look at Kyle, he did a great presentation. I know HoG is not like a super serious thing, this just set me off really bad.

I kinda miss the confessional style picks but also enjoy the new method of revealing the winner more. That three way tie though, wow. I hope you patrons dont stress over that poll too much. I wish I'm a patron right now.

Gravity Rush 2. That last act is simply out of this world! Nuff' said.

Oh my god half of your list triggered me lol. I don't have many, but here's mine anyway.

• EDF Insect Armageddon is the best in the series so far
• Rocket League is not very fun to play
• Batman Arkham Knight is the best Arkham game
• Doom 2016 is overrated, gets repetitive way too quickly. Not worth finishing.
• PSP is a better handheld compared to the NDS.
• The Witcher 3 has great combat
• 3D sonic games are better, don't care about the 2D ones so much, even the original trilogy
• Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne are the only Souls-esque game worth your time right now, everything else feels very samey

Just started watching My Hero Academia, really hooked to it right now. Intense right out of the gate, and continues to impress me with each episode. Currently on episode 7.

Just started playing this game after buying it a few weeks back, 5 hours in, i'm absolutely impressed by everything so far. I like the fact that you're the bad boy of the school now, everyone's talking about you, everyone's avoiding you, which makes this feels so different from Persona 3 & 4. Previously you're just some regular new kid, it's normal to feel uneasy since no one knows who you are yet, and there's not much controversy regarding your past. Now, everyone knows your past, and they don't want some "criminal" walking down their neighborhood. Makes the game feel fresh for me.
I also like that it's quite friendly to newcomers of the series. A lot of helpful tutorials are available, and they show each mechanic of the game slowly, instead of just drowning you in the deep ocean right away. Previous games kinda did this, but to a lesser extent.
I'll post some updates here again, when i make considerable progress.
