It feels like forever since I've posted in this thread or NeoGaf at all lately but its time to catch up abit.
Lets start big, next gen is here! I grabbed Demon's Souls and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla as my launch games. Definitely bummed that Cyberpunk 2077 got delayed as I had planned to grab that too but if it makes a more complete game when everybody loads it up so be it, Dec 10th it is.
What a beast this console is, its massive and dwarfs every other console! but its even more pretty in person. The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset has been very nice, they are comparable to the New Wireless Gold Headset for PS4 volume wise. The headset itself is good and tight around your head and the big super soft foamys feel great on your ears and provide some decent noise cancellation.
Super Mario 3D All Stars, had the other games already but given the anniversary this warranted a cool pic.
I've had so much fun with this game, I even got online with the original buddy I used to play this with when the original came out, now his son is playing so he's already getting better than we are at this lol.
Another remake I'm having fun with, I'm still playing through this slowly, the story if you like Mob movies is great. I have the original on PS2 but this is so much better. I only wish it was more open GTA style with such a big beautiful throw back city to the 1930's. The voice acting has been really good too.
I got this on sale for $20 CAD at London Drugs, I'm going to play through Borderlands 2 in VR now that it has PS Aim support and then pop this into the PS5, I think it was one of the games that has an automatic upgrade for PS5.
Again I had the warp pipe and the Goomba Amiibo but it just warranted a cool pic.
The Lightsaber, TIE Fighter model, Darth Vader edition DualShock4 controller and PSVR headset are for dramatic effect. Star Wars Squadrons was the purchase and a brilliant one. Between Star Wars Squadrons and Vader Immortal dojo's thats all I've been playing on PSVR for the past while flipping between the two. If you liked the space battles in Star Wars Battlefront I/ II, Star Wars Squadrons is for you, its basically that in PSVR when it comes to actual gameplay.
Of course my purchases wouldn't be complete without some Amiibo pick ups to keep the Smash series complete. I ordered the Smash Isabelle and this is what came, only my second poor eBay experience in over 10 years.
I missed the release dates on these all together but managed to get the pair when popping into EB Games for some PS5 related business.
Anyone else get their hands on the awesomeness of the physical edition of Stardew Valley from fangamer.com? The little display is really cool, its sourced from Birch and Cherry Wood. Each piece was individually wrapped in like a double sided masking tape that you had to very meticulously take off. It came with everything you see in the middle pic and a poster which is the same as the box art. Receiving this game inspired me to restart my farm, what an addictive game. This has forever been at the top of my must have physical copy list, I wanted it on the Switch though, very happy with this.
I think I'm all caught up now lol. Over this whole pandemic, everyone sees all sorts of crazy shit all over the world and I've literally just hunkered down and done all the gaming I possibly can. Stay safe and embrace being gamers, now is our time!
hopefully what I have now will hold me until retirement.

love the capsule toy.
