I thought yakuza 0 directors cut was a Switch only thing? Cool, I guess.

On the same note, I thought Xbox already had kiwami 1&2? What's up with that?

All the same, prime 4 is basically the one brand new game wife and I were looking forward to. Though if they think they're getting two copies sold? Uh, lol.

Where is the list for December 21st to December 31st @Chary ?

Remember this?

No, but it gives me the opportunity to post this:


I feel like I'd give the second Spy Kids movie a shot just to see this scene. I was one of those people that genuinely thought the line couldn't possibly be real. Like how Will Smith passed away several times in the 2000's with the phrase "Good night, sweet prince" under his photo. (I just tried to search for an example image, but I came up empty. Did the internet actually forget something?) It was hilarious to find out it's in the script.

Getting Steve Buscemi to deliver the line was genius.

Daymn, I have a preorder for Octopath Traveler 0 but thought it was a 2026 game. Can't wait to not play it on my Christmas break!

(...unless Santa also gifts me a couple more hours per day, ofc.)

I did not know that the director of the spy kids films was the same director for the Boba Fett show, but lizard-hallucinogen-nose and cyberpunk power rangers were big hints, "like a bantha".

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
The Rogue Prince of Persia

For me.

And... For PS5 games on the list above are not my things for now.

 

[BigOnYa]

I'm ready for another play thru of RDR1, @4k HDR 60FPS tomorrow. Hopefully they give RDR2 the same treatment soon.

 

[Axido]

I wanted to use a game coupon on Metroid Prime 4, but Nintendo gave that stupid thing an expiration date, so I ended up wasting it on Legends Z-A. That piece of garbage, however, ruined my will to spend any more money on new Nintendo releases for a good year or so.

Regarding everything else... Well, I see myself giving RDR another try on the Switch 2, since I got the NS1 version for only a few bucks when the free update was announced. But other than that there's not much that would grab my attention.

Octopath Traveler 0

o: Geeze I have to catch up, I don't even think I've touched the second one

 

[Attila13]

Looking forward for Octopath Traveler 0. Really enjoyed the first two!

Finishing off 2025 strong!

 

[realtimesave]

I'm amazed Prime4 isn't leaked yet. People are already getting their hands on copies for the Switch 2 though. Haven't seen that for Switch. I just want Prime4, Octopath 0, and Terminator 2 2D.

 

[DJPlace]

oh snap the old yakuza games are coming to PS5 i might bite.

 

[Space_Goddess_Samus_Aran]

Actually Metroid Prime 4 and Octopath Traveler 0 are only games i am interested in.

 

[realtimesave]

Toxic Crusaders gets released tomorrow on Switch (on all platforms) not sure why it isn't in the OP list.

I'll probably buy octopath traveler 0 when I find a deal on it. I own the other two.
