I'm really going to buy Stellar Blade on PC and play it again. I did this with Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown so I guess it happens sometimes. PlayStation State of Play was great for action-y single player games, from SB itself to Lost Soul Aside, MGSΔ, That Lies of P DLC, Onimusha, and others!

Seeing Tokyo Xtreme Racer succeed so hard after such a long hiatus against the typical AAA made racing games puts a big smile on my face.

My first game of 2025 finished! ...Wanted: Dead. The plot made no sense, the voice acting was straight out of a goofy JRPG from the PS3 era, and the feel was janky as ever. But the combat WAS interesting. If you want a "good" bad game with style, this is definitely one of them. It's short, though.

"I've never seen Stellar Blade gameplay! Only gooner screenshots!" 1. Here you go, it's sick 2. Twitter's algo only shows you what you engage with, so if all you do is yell at gooners, it's just gonna show you more of them 3. Nobody wants to spoil any of the late game bosses that look extra sick

My favorite games I played in 2024! (regardless of release date!) - Stellar Blade - Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty - Lost Judgment - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - Astro Bot - Gran Turismo 4's Spec-II Mod (from @theadmiester.bsky.social !) - Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut - SANABI - SMT VV

I love video game photo modes. This one's from Gran Turismo 7! #PhotoMode #VirtualPhotography

It's nifty that I see Ace Combat 3 discussed more than the usual on BlueSky. You would think it'd be sort of obscure, but a lot of people appreciate the experimental cyberpunk-y vibes it brings!

EVE and the Hyper Drive sphere! A PS5 Pro really works wonders in Stellar Blade. #VirtualPhotography

I love big sedans in racing games. #ForzaHorizon #VirtualPhotography

Pretty interesting that Ace Combat 3's Hard Mode, in my opinion, is the hardest difficulty in the whole series. I think Ace Combat X's Ace Mode comes close!
