Rocket League, Diablo 4, and Minecraft are all games I’ve played cross play and have never felt compelled to spend a dime after the initial purchase.

I love my modded Vita. It’s a perfect little handheld emulation machine.

I’m doing a Druid and not looking at build guides, just doing what seems fun. I use Storm Strike and the Werewolf core ability with various synergies that cause them to build off of each other. I’m only around level 25 but it’s a lot of fun so far.

Reddit is Fun for around 10 years, Bacon Reader for around 2 years before that. I have quit Reddit since last week and don’t intend to ever go again outside of the random Google search result.

Tears of the Kingdom Diablo IV Dark Souls 3 Final Fantasy XVI demo

FF12 is my favorite Final Fantasy after 6.

Pausing during cut scenes is huge.

I finished the demo this morning and pre-order the game. It’s light, fun, easy combat similar to Nier Automata or Kingdom Hearts mixed with a good story and voice acting and beautiful visuals. It is definitely very different than previous Final Fantasy games, though.

Also, FightingCowboy on YouTube has great build videos. And in is through walkthrough of DS3, he does a Quality build.

In every Souls game, a quality build is a great first playthrough build. With Quality, you prioritize STR and DEX more or less equally until you find a weapon that suits you and then stop leveling up the stat you don’t need. Other points can go to health and stamina.

Alternatively, the Sellsword class starts with one of the best weapons in the game, the Sellsword Twinblades. They particularly pair well with a DEX build.

Yeah, I’m trying to decide between making a new character or finishing the level 50ish wizard play through I never finished.

As is the tradition.

Enh, just switch between them. I usually play only 2 at a time, sometimes just 1.

Same, actually.

Red Dead Redemption was the last game I beat, about 3 weeks ago. Currently playing Diablo 4, Tears of the Kingdom, and Marvel Snap.

Does that include your saved posts? That’s what I’m worried about losing the most.

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy 6 (the opera aria was played at my wedding)

Castlevania 3, specifically the six channel Famicom version

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

I’m old, if you couldn’t tell

This is great news, thanks. I played the game originally on Stadia (actually made $40 profit) and intended to replay it anyway, but this sounds even better.

I’m also on PS5 and haven’t noticed anything like that, but I’m a) on 1gbps fiber internet and 2) not super discerning about graphical fidelity. I’m still on a 1080p TV.

If you liked Persona 5 then don’t sleep on Persona 4 Golden. And there’s an upcoming remake of the excellent Persona 3, but they recently ported Persona 3 Portable to modern systems if you don’t want to wait.

If you want something more traditional, I think Chrono Trigger holds up very well and is very accessible for new players compared to some of the other JRPGs of its era. If you want something traditional but a bit more modern, I think Final Fantasy 9,10, and 12 are all very easy to pick up and are on basically every system.

If you want to branch out to western RPGs, the Mass Effect trilogy and Dragon Age trilogy are both very easy to pick up, as are Skyrim or Fallout 4.
