Bought Quantum Error. Played it for 20 minutes and uninstalled it. Luckily it only cost me about £3. It's a shame, you can tell the developers tried to make something unique. There was definitely effort put into creating the game, but it's pretty bad.
@HallowMoonshadow Yup! 45+ hours in, mostly over the course of the first two weeks before I got distracted by non-gaming responsibilities (and Plants vs Zombies, which I bought as part of a Popcap game bundle on Steam, but let's not dwell on how many hours of my life I'm dumping into that lmao). It's incredibly fun, but it's also a re-release of a game I've played to death, so I won't be no-lifing it to the credits like I did with base V.
It's a gigantic improvement on the original, though. Almost totally fixed the issues it had in terms of mechanics, pacing, character development, etc. And it runs beautifully on my Steam Deck. It's currently my pick for GOTY, although I'm also gonna start P3 Reload soon, and Metaphor is coming out in a few months, so we'll see if that holds. If it stays this good until the end, it might sneak past IV: Apocalypse as my favorite Atlus game.
So for me who hasn't played the vanilla version of SMT V... Can I go straight into the Vengeance campaign and not miss anything of importance @Ralizah or should I do the original first?
I don't think I have it in me to play both campaigns this year... Especially as the game I'll be playing after that is Baldur's Gate III and that's likely take up all my time for the rest of the year

@HallowMoonshadow Do Vengeance. There's no reason whatsoever to start with CoC. It's literally just a worse story in every way. Frankly, the only reason one should even bother with the original story is for the areas/content that aren't in Vengeance.
Found a Dragons Dogma 2 steelbook in CeX today for £37. Also picked up a couple of PS4 games (Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedon & Bound by Flame) and a couple on PS3 too (Dragon Age Origins & Prince of Persia).
Ahh good to know @Ralizah! I didn't know if there would be anything of important related to the original route that ties into the new Vengeance route and figured I'd ask!
Good luck with Persona 3 Reload by the way! I really hope you ending up enjoying it. Feel free to tag me if you post some thoughts about it on here!
I think some previews came out for Metaphor from Anime Expo and it's what you'd expect it to be. Perhaps even adhering a little too much to what they know...?

@HallowMoonshadow Vengeance is less an alternate story route and more 'this is what SMT V should have always been.' I suppose they included the original story so it wouldn't lack content from the original, though, and it allows them to market it as having two story paths.
Definitely! I hope I like it. FES never really sucked me in, so I'm hoping the improvements here make it more appealing to me.
I saw one of the previews for Metaphor just earlier lol. Fantasy Persona with DDS-style combat, basically. A MegaTen spinoff in everything but name.
