It's still on GamePass.
Was on sale on PSN, which is where I prefer to play, and I'm letting my GamePass expire next month since I never even turn my Xbox on anymore.

Nice, I'd say it counts.
Been playing Dreamlight Valley on PlayStation.

Good lord.
After watching that Final Shape stream, I'm finally sold on it. That was awesome. Absolutely crazy stuff.
PvP is going to be so broken, but damn PvE needed something like this.
Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

Some bastard hired my pawn and abused her. Her travel log said the Arisen had mistreated her, and she commented that she was glad to be back in this world as not all Arisen are like me.
Made me unreasonably mad.

Beat the story last night and entered the endgame.
I love this game.
EDIT: Beat the endgame and started NG+. First of many.

This game is so awesome.
Just had an encounter with two armored cyclops where a Griffin also entered the fray along with a small pack of wolves. Me, my pawn, my two hired pawns and like two or three additional pawns that were walking the road at the time. Absolute chaos. Griffin flew off.
It's random encounters like this that are just so much fun. While people cry about supposed fast travel MTX (which is complete BS by the way, there is no such thing as paid fast travel in this game), I'm just having a blast exploring the world on foot.

Yeah the economy is definitely based on endgame and not at all friendly in the beginning and I'm assuming middle either. I love the pawn banter so much more in this one. It's not just "wolves hunt in packs" a thousand times. The little fist bump/high five after an encounter is a nice touch as well. Can't help but LOL at the "we're all women" and "my last master only hired female pawns" comments. They know their audience. I hire female pawns almost exclusively. Hell mine currently has the ranger bottoms on (it somehow gave higher defense), which has her ass (in all its splendor) out. The purple hired Western devs that think female characters should be ugly would be screeching if they saw her. Kinda makes me wish I would've gone with my first Arisen, which was female, instead of creating a male Arisen and naming it after me. Like the Stellar Blade devs, "we spend a lot of time working on Eve's ass because its third person and what the player will see the most."

Absolutely loving this.
Not necessarily a big fan of the needing to camp/rest to fully heal system, but I get it. The first one was very easy if you kept healing stuff on you since you can pause in combat and use it instantly.
That's not really a complaint, just going to take some getting used to. This is for the most part everything I've hoped for the past 12 years of wanting this game.
Pawn and I are both currently level 16, rank 6 Thieves.
Pawn ID is 2RP3DHTFUTCH
EDIT: It just keeps getting better. Exploring the world and the combat is just fantastic.

Been playing this since Monday night, and my thoughts are that it is the best yet in the 2K series.
The new match types are fun. Special Guest Referee was always an old favorite, and it's great to have it back.
The changes to MyGM are taking some getting used to. I finished first my first season, but it's definitely harder. And it'll only get harder in the later seasons due to how much money retaining or hiring stars costs. Overall, I'd say the mode is even better, but a lot of that has to do with UI changes and stuff too. Very clean.
I don't care about Universe mode, haven't since the before 2K took over.
Showcase mode is what it is, a frustrating slog that you have to do to unlock most stuff. Glad I'm done with it.
What little I've played of the male story mode has been fun.
The biggest surprise to me is MyFaction. I'm actually enjoying it. Probably spent the most time in it thus far, and I quickly started to hate that mode in 2K22 and really didn't touch it too much last year either.
That everything isn't 4v4 now combined with tag matches in general not being terrible, it's just been a lot of fun. The Faction Warfare change from 4v4 tower to a rogue-lite Run with different paths and culminating in a boss fight was a most welcome change. My only problem with the mode is I still think cards, individual and packs, are too expensive. Both in-game currency and real money. I'd never spend real money on a pack anyway, even if they were cheaper, simply because most packs have mostly sideplates and this year they have stupid created wrestlers in the packs.

There are too many games coming out in such a short time span.
I made the mistake of trying the demo for Unicorn Overlord, mainly because I enjoyed Dragon's Crown back on PS3 and Muramasa: The Demon Blade on Wii. It's been awhile since I've played a Vanillaware game.
The reason it was a mistake is now I want to play it. The demo is very generous. Game is legit excellent. Beautiful art style and menus, great sound, and just fun. It's tactical strategy, but battles themselves are automatically played out.
Now I'm having to fight the urge to purchase it; still haven't beaten FF7 Rebirth despite 42 hours into it. Now bouncing back and forth between that and WWE 2K24, which is also great.
Dragon's Dogma 2 comes out in a couple of weeks, already pre-ordered, and if its anywhere near as good as the first one that's easily going to be a couple hundred hours of play. Then Stellar Blade comes out late April.
Gonna force myself to wait for a sale on this one, but highly recommend trying out the demo at least.

Rebirth is incredible. Five hours in and haven't touched the main story since unlocking the first open area in chapter 2.
Remake was great, but this is excellent. I liked what little I played of FF16, and 15 was ok too, but this really should be the formula going forward. Exploration is great, humor is excellent, and combat is amazing.

Played the Rebirth demo and now I'm pretty sure I'll probably end up pre-ordering it before it releases (had originally planned on getting it sometime months after launch).
Too many games coming out all around the same time. Rebirth, 2K24, Rise of the Ronin, Dragon's Dogma 2, Stellar Blade.

Eh, who am I kidding? I've been looking forward to this since December 2013 when I platinumed the first game on PS3. It's been one of my favorite games ever since and one I frequently return to (playing again now actually).
Of course I'm there day one.
Will probably start as a Thief since that's basically a Strider (my favorite) without the ability to use a bow. Will probably end up being a Warfarer though. Will make my Pawn basically be a clone of my character (though Thief all the way through since Pawn's can't be advanced vocations), that way it's basically a representation of my character in other people's games.
EDIT: Also a really great time to have returned to the first game. Seems lots of folks are playing it. In two days since I fired it back up, my pawn has been used by over 30 others and netted me over 300,000 RC so far. In all my playthroughs of the game on PS4, I've never seen that. That's around the rate it was back when I first played on PS3 when it was free on PS+.

Went ahead and pre-ordered 2K24 Deluxe Edition.
Still haven't seen anything about MyGM other than vague news that it'll have trades, a different contract system, and more GM's and brands. I'm sure it'll be an even better experience than before, so I'm good with just knowing that little bit.
The kicker for me though was the return of Special Guest Ref matches. I love being the special guest ref and screwing someone over. It's never not been fun.

I'd lean towards B, but I also don't think Triple H is an idiot. I can see Rock and Ari being out of touch, but Trips knew what he was doing when Cody pointed at Roman after winning the Rumble.
The only dumb part, if it were planned (and why I lean towards B) is having Cody say "not at WrestleMania."
Probably somewhere in the middle. Rock/Ari and other suits probably thought one thing, Trips smart enough to know the backlash it would have and that they'd need to pivot. I'd be inclined to believe, in Hogan speak, that Trips worked a shoot into a work brother.
