It's not my favorite anime this year but I cried more than a few times during the show...

I've been disappointed as well for a few reasons. The system just isn't powerful enough for some of its games ambitions. Just look at Xenoblade Chronicles 2 chunky pixelated mess. I've been replaying Dragons' Dogma on PS4 and it looks way better despite it being a PS3 remaster.

Ergonomically its terrible. The need to make the controllers shareable make the joycon layouts terrible. The weight of they system makes holding it for long times tiring as well.

I don't regret my purchase, I'm just underwhelmed and disappointed with some choices they made (ie online, voice chat, cloud saves)

There is a "Download" option. I used to download all my videos locally to avoid the streaming issues. Its not a solution but an option if you are having streaming issues. I'm not sure what player you are using but I'm using a 7 year old PC and the HD downloads play fine. I'm having streaming issues as well but only on mobile devices.

Maybe JRPGs aren’t for you. Fan service is a standard thing in Japanese games to appeal to their intended demographic. I played xenoblade and found nothing that offensive as you make it to be.

I'm happy with my PSN name but glad this option exists finally.

This is why I started buying physical versions of digital games I own already. I read the reddit PS4 forums and every day there is a new victim of Sony Customer service so this is crime is pretty much common place now. I also do not have any credit card info stored on Sony's services and only use PSN cards. The one time I have had to deal with their customer service the CS rep could barely give a F about my issue and sounded bored out of their mind. I love my PS4 but their customer service is one of the worst in the industry.

Forgot to mention this but 4 of my favorite anime are doing an Isekai collab...

I’ve played 3 of the 4 choices and only beat one of them. But in the end I just keep replaying Dragons Dogma Dark Risen.

I am kind of relieved that there is no trophy system. I can play games on easy and not have to stress out about 100 percenting a game or grinding mundane tasks just for a trophy. I have so many games on PS4 I gave up on because I missed a trophy that would require a 2nd playthrough or didn't start a game because I knew I could never platinum it.

Switch is the console I play to relax, PS4 when I want to achieve something.

@redhotchilimist:They really wanted to play up how badly the women were mistreated by the goblins. It was kind of hard to watch especially in this age of mewtwo. This show kinda reminded me of Danmachi or Berserk but with more violence. I will keep watching it but i'm not as excited for it.

In news that only I probably care about.... A Certain Scientific Railgun gets a third season, A Certain Scientific Accelerator gets an anime, Laid Back Camp gets a 2nd season, short anime, and movie!

Standouts for new anime this season so far for me are:

• A Certain Magical Index III
• Sword Art Online: Alicization
• Miss Vampire Lives in My Neighborhood
• Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!
• SSSS.Gridman
• Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
• Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime)
• Iroduku: The World in Colors
• Boarding School Juliet
• Release the Spyce
• Anima Yell
• Akanesasu Shoujo
• Ace Attorney Season 2

Shows that I am on the fence on or will drop

• Zombieland Saga
• Radiant
• Gakuen Basara
• Between the Sky and Sea

There's still a few new shows I haven't had time to watch but so far I am watching more shows this season compared to last season.
