Tekken 7 ultimate for $20 seems like a decent price

Thought the same until I saw it only includes S1, S2 passes. S3 and S4 are omitted, I have the base game, will just wait until they release a final edition, hopefully a hardcopy.

Skip Silent Hill HD Collection. It's a bad port that used older beta builds of Silent Hill 2 and 3 as its base because they lost the original source code. While a patch was eventually released for PS3 that help alleviate some of the technical issues, 360 never received such a patch.

I disagree, simply because used copies of these games are too expensive.

The Silent Hill HD Collection is more of a de-master than remaster. Stay away from that one.

How is Persona 4 compared to Persona 5? P5 is the only Persona game I've ever played and really liked it. Would like to try and revisit some of the older titles

This is not Persona 4. It's just a game set in the Persona 4 universe. Like how Persona 5 Strikers isn't Persona 5. Do you have a computer? You can get Persona 4 Golden on Steam. That's the actual Persona 4 game. I have a cheap $350 laptop that can run it on high settings, so you really don't need anything too crazy.

It's a great game, though 5 is still better. It's tough to go back to the older Persona games, only because they don't make those games close together, so quality of life improvements with each new game are pretty substantial. It's still worth the play, though.

Also, look into Shin Megami Tensei games. They're from the same publisher. They're more serious, but they're also turn-based RPGs. Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne is awesome. They just re-released that for consoles this year. It was a PS2 game, but it got a little remaster and it's still a blast. Shin Megami Tensei V is also coming out in November.

Ghostrunner is a steal at $11.99 with the free Series X/S upgrade arriving today.

That game is pretty cool, but it's infuriating.

I see this all the time and feel like it's really exasperated by gatekeeping andys that think the only way to play the game is in the form them deem acceptable. If you've already played these, then you'll probably be disappointed by the port, but if you haven't played these games before this is still worth picking up. I just got through silent hill 2 for the first time and felt like the game held up really well. I had someone convince not to buy it years ago by this same argument, and I regret them having this influence as it was worth the purchase.

Here's the issue with this argument. First, this is not what gatekeeping is. It isn't bad to point out how poor a product is and anything else is apologist on behalf of the corp. Capcom did not put the budget behind this that it deserved, rushed an incomplete product out the door, and expected everyone to thank them. No one is saying you CAN'T enjoy the game, but it is absolutely relevant to point out that there are other ways where the game can be played where it is given in a form that doesn't harm the intended presentation.

To use an analogy here, it's like the Louvre sold you tickets to see an exhibit of enhanced paintings, but after you've paid and went to the exhibit you realize that it's actually a bunch of poor recreations of the original work, blown up without upscaling, and displayed on bad monitors. It was sold to you as this enhanced experience, but what you got was something far below that. You can still possibly enjoy this experience, but it is hampered a bit by the fact that you were lied to. In the end, you still got to see the paintings you wanted to see, but was it how the artwork could have been best presented to you?

EDIT: Also they changed the voice actor! The entire performance is completely different than what they wanted it to be. There's a specific feeling that you get from the original voice acting that you just cannot get from this new voice actor.

Your talking about the game running on 360 hardware…this game is backwards compatible unlike most of Sony's games…digital foundry made a video about the game running on Xbox one x n said most technical issues like frame rate fixed…now it's way better on series s n x.

Can you link me to this video from DF, because I have never seen them do this.

Is Red Dead Redemption Ultimate a good $$?

Without my gold subscription I'm seeing the ultimate at $99.99+ so it sounds like a good deal.
