Got all Life is Strange platinums done now. The CERO version of Before the Storm has all updates on disc making it the best version you can buy. My test for it has been added to the DoesItPlay website.

As predicted. This part of physical media is such a giant issue.

Finished Black Myth Wukong this morning. Test has been added to the DoesItPlay website. It was a fantastic game. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Still progressing thru Black Myth Wukong. Roughly half way thru Chapter 4. Mostly solid build so far with some issues. Should be done before too long.

Been researching DS2 lately and I found out SOTFS on PS3 uses the vanilla layout rather than the new scholar layout. Personally I liked the original layout more. Ordered a copy for testing. If you like the original layout more but also want the dlc consider getting PS3/360 SOTFS.

I may have gone a bit overboard buying some highly wanted things for my Soulsborne collection. Some good stuff will be arriving soon.

So glad Nightreign will have an offline solo option. Definitely my most anticipated game now for next year.

Very special deal.

Looking thru eBay since the game awards announcement of Okami’s sequel. Every ESRB PS4 copy has sold. I’m expecting to see a bunch of copies go up soon at ridiculous markups compared to what they were selling for just a few days ago. I hate second hand market manipulation.

Got in one of the coolest pieces for the collection. This was a press kit given out in Europe for the PS4 launch. Has 5 launch games included. There is also a catalog showing various PS4 games and accessories. This is the first press kit I’ve ever acquired for the collection.

Not sure how accurate the stats are since I mostly play offline. Also there will be games from PS1-3, PSP and Vita not included that I played.

Finished Beyond Good & Evil yesterday. Really great game, can see why so many love it. Maybe we’ll finally get the sequel. Started The Suffering Ties that Bind. Good so far. I just wish the didn’t use that blurry motion effect so much. Some parts have it constantly.

Another mail arrival today. Love the original but never got around to playing the sequel. Gonna play thru this one soon.

Beyond Good & Evil on PS5 is very solid so far. Port seems to have been done well. The physical copy on PS5 also has all updates on the disc.

Some mail arrivals today.

I did do all the platinums for the series myself. Side games are ok trophy wise just not great games in general. Full Frontal Assault in particular I didn’t care for. Also Deadlocked you have to buy the PSN version for trophy support and it has a save corruption bug that you need to be wary of.

That was one of the first R & C games that I did the platinum for. Definitely one of the best games overall in the series imo.

Got some cool stuff coming in the mail. One of the items is a first of its kind for my collection so I’m really excited for that to arrive.

One thing the game industry severely lacks is transparency. Sometimes finding the correct info is so difficult, leaving customers to speculate. Being able to gather proper info for things shouldn’t be a hassle.

The only one that game me some trouble was the pub one.

Physical ftw. Great collection.

Thanks! Had a lot of fun with this game.

Tomba! Special Edition PS5

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? No

No issues encountered during this test. Since you can find reports of new bugs introduced through patches, you are probably better off leaving it untouched.

Untitled Goose Game platinum done. Very fun game. No test for this one since we already had one, just a casual playthrough.

One more week. I’m so excited to finally play this.

Playing some Earth Defense Force 2 before work. Been slowly working on this test. The game is fun but I can only play in short bursts. For me it gets repetitive quickly. I don’t have a whole lot left tho. Honestly not sure if I’ll get another EDF game.

I like owning both the originals and remasters. Already have Bloodrayne 1 on PS2. Been meaning to pick up the second game for awhile now. Also already have DAH 1 on PS4.

Grabbed a few things at the store yesterday.

It’s time for these two to make a comeback. I hope one of the titles in development by Fromsoft is a new entry. They even considered making Sekiro a new Tenchu entry early on.
