I really enjoyed Screaming, Abroad and At Your Conveience as well, there was so many classics.

@el_pieablo

1. Sid James is a legend and it makes me so happy to see a pfp of him
2. I heard a lot of terrible things about that, is it worth picking up the original version of it on GameCube or whatever system it originall launched on?

PS5 - Grand Theft Auto III
Switch - Penny's Big Breakaway
Steam - Grand Theft Auto IV
Xbox - some Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate

Fun times.

Spencer: "we're not giving up on physical"
Also Spencer: "here's another Xbox console that has no disc drive"

Doubt chief.

@Sol4ris

Microsoft are free to fund a Final Fantasy game or use Lost Odyssey again, they don't want to do either of them.

Final Fantasy is pretty much synonymous with PlayStation for a lot of people, Sony have realised this and are making use of their good relationship with Square to fund projects.

@rhyno_888

It was the companies best selling series and made a profit. The series did sell well, it's just not a juggernaut like Final Fantasy or Persona.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 alone manages to outdo numerous JRPGs that are on PS and PC as well, to say the series didn't sell well is a flat out lie.

It will never come to other platforms.

@rhyno_888

Why would Nintendo put Xenoblade on any other console when it's their IP?

There will be certain people (some here who would) that will somehow blame Sony for this one.

@Doomcrow

Mine is just the most powerful original Xbox and Xbox 360 at this point.

Microsoft's first party as a whole is shockingly bad to me and the only game that I would've gotten around too once my backlog was cleared up a bit was Hi Fi Rush....which is now on PS5 anyway.

PS5's first party lineup isn't that great either but Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin appeal to me way more than Indiana Jones, Avowed and....the other games they're releasing that I legit can't remember.

Already pre-ordered Hi Fi Rush on the PS5 and bought Pentiment on the Switch.

Unless they're contractually obligated too then no, Sony and Nintendo will not put their games to Xbox.

@taternuggets

It's really cool that it's crossplay as well, great that this feature is becoming more and more common now.

@GeminiReign

I think the Series X one is really good but I'm so used to the DualSense and Switch Pro-controller that I don't like using it all that much sadly.

@GeminiReign

That's the same with me actually. My Series X is for Xbox & 360 games but nothing else now.

I don't like the Xbox controller that much so it's hard for me to use nowadays.

@GeminiReign

I'm primarily a single player game which is why Xbox doesn't appeal to me as much as the other two platforms.

I'm definitely curious though about this one.

@Lup

Gears on PS5 is one of my biggest wants alongside Rare Replay.

https://insider-gaming.com/hi-fi-rush-physical-release/

Today just keeps getting better for Hi Fi Rush. Physical Xbox and PS5 release so I'm quintuple dipping.

@GeminiReign

I have an Xbox but it never really caught my eye until all the multiplatform rumours started lol.

@Halucigens

Awesome, thanks for letting me know dude. I may pick it up then!
Was admitted hoping for a Switch release but I'll pick it up on PS5 for trophies.

@Banjo-

and then re-iterated that they meant phones, Cloud and PC.

Wow, feels unreal to see a Rare game actually launch on PlayStation when there's never been one before.

Is Sea of Thieves worth picking up if you're not big on multiplayer games?

Hell yeah!
Now to triple dip but I pray for a physical release.

Couldn't care less about either, give me Hi Fi Rush.

@eire-shabba

Speak for yourself.

Need two subscriptions and now this, it's like they want it to fail on Xbox.

Almost bought Dead Space for £26 on PS5 in Argos, I don't usually like buying digital games but it's very tempting for £8.

@Fenbops

As soon as they drop the disc drive, I drop Xbox entirely and just stay using my Series X.

I've built up a good amount of the backwards compatibility lineup and I'm not losing that because Microsoft may not want to give me an option anymore.

Say what you will about the PS5 slim disc drive, at least it's an option.

It's good to see rational minded people realise that these suits aren't your friends and will lie to you. Spencer, Ryan and Bowser are all the same.

@FreqMode

Apart from achievements, what did Microsoft introduce that wasn't already done by another company?

Online Play - SEGA
Subscriptions - PS Now
backwards compatibility - existed since the Atari days

I'm honestly struggling to see what they introduced that wasn't already done elsewhere.

Closes the physical division and barely sells physical games anyway. Can this man stop lying for 5 minutes?

@ZuneTattooGuy

Then it'll definitely get one as LRG do a lot of PS5 versions.

Oof, that's a dismal offering.

@GeminiReign

Arise has a massive issue with damage sponge enemies and a terrible plot imo.

@ZuneTattooGuy

Why do you believe that?

@Foxx_64740

Oh I've played all three and adored them all, JRPGs are a genre that I tend to buy at launch now anyways lol.

@Foxx_64740

As someone who doesn't care about day one offerings, Reload does little for me as I don't like Persona either.

@Kidfunkadelic83

Probably will yeah, you too man. Lots to get through this year anyway.

Blue Dragon is calling my name.

Oh heck yeah, currently playing GTAIII so may actually pick up IV here. Does anyone know if this includes the expansions?

EDIT: IT DOES!!!
EDIT x2: No need, have it on Steam Deck anyway lol

@PartyMarty

So not going to answer the question, typical.

Definitely Legends or Rise for me. I tried to get all the achievements but it was rather glichy on One X.

Tales of Arise is beyond disappointing, easily the worst of the current Tales games.

I own all of them but PS Premium definitely won this month for JRPGs since you get four Tales games there and one of them is the fan favourite as well.

@PartyMarty

Just curious, do Xbox users think this is a smoking gun or something?

It has been confirmed dozens upon dozens of times that this wasn't a Sony owned licence and they were forced to put it on Xbox, this is an entirely different case than Helldivers 2.

@PartyMarty

It's a Sony IP, it's not coming to Xbox.

@GeeEssEff

It would be Game of the Century material if it had an Xbox release, lets be real here.
