@stvevan there's nothing in energy drinks that you can't buy in tablet or powder form from any pharmacy or health food shop. Anything is bad in the wrong quantities. Issues arise when people frequently drink multiple cans a day.
Never played it, but I recall some controversy about its high price. If an episodic game is released at near to full price, you really can't be surprised when people respond negatively.
Currently playing through Trails in the Sky FC on my old laptop. Will be working my way through the series at a steady pace so as to not get burnt out. Will get to this one eventually.
Love this kind of game, but I struggle to find the time to properly enjoy them these days.
Unfortunately gone are the days where I was unemployed, single and still lived with my parents and could plunge 18 hours a day into Civilization Revolution on PS3.
Hopefully going to finish Final Fantasy XV main story tonight. Then I'll have just a few trophies left for the platinum. Also playing Ys Origin on the Switch.
I was on the fence for a long time but I just bought 13 Sentinels this morning.
Vanillaware is one of my favourite Devs, but I felt the combat looked kind of dull in footage I'd seen. Decided to go for it as the critical reception has been very good.

Re: Pretty Tactical RPG Unicorn Overlord Announced for PS5, PS4
Nice. Vanillaware is probably my favourite developer so I'm always happy to hear about their new projects.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 491
This week I dug out my very old laptop to continue my progress through the Legend of Heroes series. Playing Trails in the Sky the 3rd.
Thankfully after this one I can play the rest on Switch/PS5.
Also planning to play something with the kids, maybe Mario Kart 8/Super Mario Party.
Re: Kuro no Kiseki Localisation News Coming 'As Soon as Possible', Falcom Hopes
Trails in the Sky the Third will be next for me. I still have a long way to go.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Demo?
Won't be playing it as I already know how much I want to play it, and prefer waiting for the full game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 478
I've recently delved back in to Final Fantasy XIV, started from scratch with a new character.
About 110 hours in and I've finished the base game, A Realm Reborn and am working my way towards the first expansion.
Tempted to go for the Plat on PS5, but some of the trophies seem to be not registering my actions properly, so that may not happen.

Not a fan of this behaviour by monster though.
Re: Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes Was an Experiment Fans 'Didn't Understand'
Never played it, but I recall some controversy about its high price. If an episodic game is released at near to full price, you really can't be surprised when people respond negatively.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Trails to Azure?
I've bought it but I still need to play Sky 3rd and Trails from Zero first.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Launch Sales Outshine Everything in Europe
I'm about 45 hours in and 9 trophies away from the Plat. Loved every bit of it except the alohomora mini game, which just feels like a waste of time.
Re: Flaunt Your Favourite Harry Potter House with Free Hogwarts Legacy PS5 Avatars
@burning_as_souls As a fellow head shaven, bearded Hufflepuff with a tat and piercings I can tell you that you are in good company.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Hogwarts Legacy?
I have it installing right now. My wife, who is a massive Harry Potter fan, is very excited.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 462
I was hoping to play Hades this weekend, but my copy for PS5 hasn't arrived yet. I'll be cracking on with Mass Effect 3 Definitive Edition.
Re: 13 Sentinels, Dragon's Crown Dev's New Fantasy Game Is Nearly Done
My favourite developer. Can't wait to see more of this one.
Re: Hands On: Resident Evil 4 PS5 Makes a Masterpiece Even Better
I loved the original, but never managed to get passed the knife fight/lazer grid QTE section late in the game.
My hatred of that section has prevented me revisiting the game at all since.
Re: Persona Fans on PlayStation Get Sold Short Again as Xbox Deal Reveals Native Ports
@TheArt tbf this was probably a SEGA decision.
Re: Sword and Fairy's New Trailer Has Everything You Need to Know About the PS5, PS4 Action RPG
@ShogunRok I believe the physical release is limited to Japan/Asia with English language support, but I could be wrong.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 428
I started Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition yesterday, so that will be my main game this weekend.
Also planning to try the training mode in the Mario Strikers: Battle League trial.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 427
I've had the week off work so I've been putting every spare hour into The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.
I'm on the final chapter now and I'm planning to get as much done as I can before Monday.
Re: Trails from Zero Character Trailer Is Packed with Charm
Currently playing through Trails in the Sky FC on my old laptop. Will be working my way through the series at a steady pace so as to not get burnt out. Will get to this one eventually.
Re: Zenless Zone Zero Is a Super Stylish Action RPG from Genshin Impact Dev miHoYo
The action looks good, but if its a gacha game I'll give it a miss. The boob wobble looks ridiculous though.
Re: New Witcher Game Announced, Developed on Unreal Engine 5
Then I really need to get around to playing Wild Hunt.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 411
Laid up with Covid so I'll be putting some time into Final Fantasy VII Remake. Trying to get as far as I can before I have to return to work.
Re: Highly Rated Strategy Sim Crusader Kings 3 Campaigns to PS5 in March
Love this kind of game, but I struggle to find the time to properly enjoy them these days.
Unfortunately gone are the days where I was unemployed, single and still lived with my parents and could plunge 18 hours a day into Civilization Revolution on PS3.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 410
Just got a PS5 yesterday, so I'll be finishing off Astro's Playroom with my kids. Then I'll be starting Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade later on.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 394
Just got the Plat for 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Now I'm playing Ever Oasis on 3DS.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 391
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on PS4, working toward the Plat.
Quake on Switch.
Re: PES Renamed eFootball, Confirmed to Be Free-to-Play
This is one of the few instances where I actually agree with the use of a f2p model. I'm actually surprised PES/FIFA didn't do it years ago.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
I spent about 42 hours going for the plat on ME1. Haven't started ME2 as yet.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PS4) - An Enriching, Engrossing, Excellent Trilogy, Now Better Than Ever
I grabbed the platinum trophy for Mass Effect yesterday. Absolutely love these games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 376
Starting tomorrow I have a week off so I'll be trying to playthrough the first Mass Effect during that time.
Re: Mortal Kombat's Movie Trailer Looks Like Dumb Fun
Looks ok, in a mindless fun sort of way.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV Online Arrives on PS5 in April with Open Beta, Promises Huge Performance Boost
@Deadhunter exact same reason I stopped playing. Other players behaviour completely ruined the end of the base game for me.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Arrives in May, 4K Trailer Shows the Remaster in Action
How nice of them to release it on my birthday. I've never played ME1 so I'm looking forward to that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 359
Hopefully going to finish Final Fantasy XV main story tonight. Then I'll have just a few trophies left for the platinum. Also playing Ys Origin on the Switch.
Re: Puppeteer Creator Wants to Make a Sequel to Criminally Underrated PS3 Game
Great game. I only played it because of PS Plus, but I'm glad I did. Absolutely fantastic.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 356
I'll be playing Final Fantasy XV which I received yesterday. My wife got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which we're playing in co-op.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 351
Not much gaming for me this weekend, I have an assignment to work on that was due for the 19th.
If I get the chance I'll play more Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Re: Feature: PS5 Remasters and Remakes We Want
I'd be down for a RE4 remake, especially if they strip out the awful QTEs.
Re: The XIII PS4 Remake Looks Like a Massive Disaster
If they weren't maintaining the art style, what was even the point of remaking it. XIII is basically known for that art style.
Re: Poll: What's Your New PlayStation Trophy Level?
I think I was on 14 before, now on 242.
Re: Guide: New PS4 Games This Week (21st September to 27th September)
I was on the fence for a long time but I just bought 13 Sentinels this morning.
Vanillaware is one of my favourite Devs, but I felt the combat looked kind of dull in footage I'd seen. Decided to go for it as the critical reception has been very good.
