December 2024 Q&A Time! Submit Those Questions!
Added 2024-12-01 21:27:01 +0000 UTC
Hey hey hey Patrons! Is it that time already? I think it is. SANTA IS COMING. And he's got a sack full of answers for your questions! That's right, I'm Santa in this circumstance. Our quarterly Q&A is back and you know the drill, if you've ever wanted to see me answer something on video, submit it down below! Or you can email your question to: MysticRyan@Gmail.com
As a friendly reminder, try and keep it as brief as you can, and down to one question instead of multiples. But other than that, let's get whacky! We had a huge turnout during the last session, and I can't wait to talk to you all again. Or at you. Whatever makes sense. I'll put up this Q&A before the year is over, so you've got plenty of time to submit! Ciao!
Ryan
Sorry I missed this Ali, just past the cutoff. But to answer your question here: Nope. Those were two different studios with their own creative visions for those worlds and characters. They have more autonomy than you would think. It's not like PlayStation was requiring or planning something like that across two very different games and universes.

Hey Ryan, saw you had patreon and getting more content from you was a no brainier! The question I have is fairly generic but is there a game you really want to love and just can’t get into?
For me it’s the horizon games. The worlds look amazing but I just can’t seem to stick to them when I start. Maybe it’s the large daunting world lol. Have a good one!

Hey Ryan, my name is Dominic, Im new to patreon but have watched your channel since 2018. Love the coverage you do for all things PS.
1. Have you checked out the site RetroAchievements for tracking and collecting achievements for older games?
2. Do you think with Call of Duty going to Microsoft that Sony may revive franchises like Socom or even MAG? I feel MAG was way way ahead of its time with the massive amount of people it could host in one game. These are the kinds of games that a day one release through PS Plus would benefit from and do big numbers even?
Happy holidays and cheers to the new year man!

Hey Ryan, recent Patreon sub here. I've always been curious, as someone who struggles to commit to a strict work ethic, how do you do it?
You have a job outside of YouTube (I presume ?) and other personal obligations, but you're really consistent with your uploads, and given you've been at this for a long time, I would love to know how you find what works best for you and if you have any tips
Much love, take it easy and happy holidays

Hey Ryan, hope you're doing well. As someone who grew up with physical media, I love having a collection of games and movies, but the convenience of digital is really alluring. Do you purchase everything physically? If a game is on PS Plus, will you still buy the physical version? What are your general buying habits and/or guidelines for buying physical releases for PlayStation? Thanks for all the work you do, and happy holidays.

Congrats on surpassing 800,000 subs on YouTube, playa!!! Loving the new PSR videos.
Since TLOU Factions was unfortunately cancelled, do you think Sony could’ve taken some of those employees to work on other projects or PS3 remasters and made a profit instead of so many layoffs?
YOU take it easy.

Hi Ryan,
I hope I'm not too late about this one.
I hope you're enjoying the holidays!
Your PSR series was off to a great start, so congratulations!
I just wanted to ask: how are you planning to celebrate this year? Also, is there a particular game you always return to around Christmas? For me, it’s usually Skyrim—almost every year. That, or Arkham Asylum :)
Happy holidays! Keep up the great content and work.
Love from Denmark, as always!
Take it easy :)

Hey man. Looking good. You been working out?
If this question is too much for the channel, don’t be afraid to skip!
I’ve noticed you exhibit some social consciousness, ie interest in electric vehicles, BLM support in the past, and some other stuff. Is that something that’s developed as you’ve gotten older, or something that’s always been there. How has it changed over time? For me, it’s a little bit of both.
Also, I sent an email but it’s not a question. Just a little silly thing to say thanks :) happy holidays

Hey Ryan.
You have mentioned before that you don't have a lot of time for gaming these days, or you keep some games for documented challenges (like 30 plats in 30 days). Do you find that your work, although centred around gaming, can/could have a negative impact on your passion for gaming?
Keep up the good work with the channel and Merry Christmas to you!

Have you heard of Atmosphere? They are an indie hip-hop band from Minneapolis, where I'm from. I know you like rap so I wanted to ask. If you haven't, check out their album "when life gives you lemons, paint that shit gold." Lemme know what you think. Love the content as always & I hope you got some good game time in during the holidays. Let us know what you played. I think I'm gonna play some of the big VR games that have come out recently like batman arkham shadow, behemoth & metro.

Hey Ryan! Recently for the past year or so, I have noticed that there seems to be a trend on youtube right now with long form video content (like over 40 min). Now I am not sure if this is some ”algorithm meta” right now or I just happen to see those often because I really enjoy longer videos, but is this something you also have noticed? Obviously you have quite many of them, are they in general performing better or worse? And do you have plans to do more in the future (please say yes, I love them lol)? Happy holidays!

Hey Ryan!
Merry Christmas to you and Melissa!
You’ve shown your PSX now and again, especially in your home tour vids. But I don’t think there was a dedicated video. What’s the story? How did you come across it? Which model is it specifically? Does it work? Did you find any cool random japanese vids recorded on there? We wanna know :)
And a suggestion for PSR (love the series btw). Maybe a Japanese Jak 2 retrospective on the PSX? 👀
All the best for 2025!

Hey Ryan
Are you enjoying the PS5 Pro more than you thought you would? At first, I said I wouldn't buy it but could not hold myself back. With an OLED VRR TV, I can tell the difference in games and enjoy playing games at the highest settings on console.
Not sure if you have any room on your friends list but if you do could you add me? PSN is jac522.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Hello Ryan!
First time write-in. My question to you is what do you think of the sudden rise of Guerilla Studio personnel into having important positions in PlayStation Studios? I love Guerilla and I understand why Hermen was picked but Angie Smets and Lambert Muller? Isn’t it a bit too much? Curious to hear your thoughts!
Take it easy!

Hey Ryan, a bit of a personal question here - I was wondering if you could share your experience with social anxiety. I noticed you've mentioned it in a handful of your videos (Hannah Montana PS3 handout video, going to Target for 30 platinums, etc.). I would love to hear about your experience, growing up with it, how it's affected your life, and how you manage it today. I personally was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder a few years ago and have found therapy very helpful in recognizing my triggers and moderating them, and I've seen significant improvement over time. It's always nice to hear from other people that struggle with social anxiety and if you'd be willing to share it, I'd love to hear your story. Thanks and literally, you take it easy!

Hey Ryan! It’s me ya boy BIGboyjones lol. My question to you is this…… if there’s an old fav game of yours you would love to see a remake which one would it be and why? Follow up … is there one game that you found so good that it deserved or still deserves a sequel? If so, which game is that? I hope you had a great year broski and I hope next year is filled with more awesome content from you! Until next time… you take it easy

Hey Ryan! First time caller longtime listener. Something my friends and I like to often talk about (despite it quite literally having no chance of happening) is the idea of PS All Stars 2. If we lived in a world where it existed, what would be some things/design elements you'd wanna see, or any hopefuls for the hypothetical roster? Happy Holidays and keep up the amazing content!

Happy holidays to you and Melissa! Hope you are well.
My question is regarding the rumored dedicated handheld. I know it’s speculated that the device will play all ps4 games, and potentially be patched for future games. My fear is that this would be a similar situation as the series s where the hardware can hold be the other versions. Do you think this is a genuine concern?

Hi Ryan, my question is do you have any predictions for a possible handheld from Sony that can run ps5 games?I was under the impression that handhelds with a certain level of performance (steam deck, rog ally) can run a lot of pc games but these handhelds are quite a bit more expensive than a basic ps5.How do you think Sony will price such a handheld and convince consumers to buy one that will be expensive?

Whats up Ryan hope you're having a fun holiday season
My question is what do you think is prohibiting the big 3 from making a hall effect controller as even just a more expensive controller option? Is it strictly because they can make more money selling controllers with a failure rate do to drifting or is there something else? I ask as someone who hopes Sony makes hall effect modules for the dualsense edge.

Wazzup Ryan! Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season. My question is: Growing up, were you a Cartoon Network kid, a Nickelodeon kid, or both? If you had a preference, what were your favorite cartoons to watch? If you were a CN kid, did you also enjoy adult swim and what did you like on there? I love your content, and your uploads are always the highlight of my day. You take it easy and have a happy holiday season! Edit: Congrats on 800k! I hope you start popping the champagne.

Hi Ryan! Quite new to the Patreon so not sure if this has been asked in a prior Q&A, so I apologize if that's the case.
What do you think of OpenGOAL, the fan decompilation/PC port of the Jak games? They nearly have the entire main trilogy playable already and I've found the progress to be incredibly impressive and there's also been some very cool mods so far, that I think are definitely worth checking out if you haven't

Hey Ryan! What games do you think really worked best on the Vita and can benefit from a potentially upcoming handheld? My first thought is going to Gravity Rush and Tearaway since they were staples of the Vita's capabilities and couldnt really relieve their height on the console counterparts. I'd also love to see Persona 6 on a dedicated handheld console.
PS: Could you also add me on PSN (gideon2cold)?

Hello Ryan,
Question regarding original GTA trilogy (III, Vicy City, San Andreas). Currently, i'm playing SA with my PS2 and trying to fully complete it. I hate remastered ports, because they lost some music and original lighting + other stuff, so i will miss the platinum. I hope i will be able to fully finish San Andreas 110% and i will manage to do that with Vice City as well before GTA 6. Have you completed them? Did you do that on PS2, PS3 or PS4/PS5?
Thanks for the great content, your videos are very cozy and always makes me go play some games even when i'm not in the mood in doing so.
Make sure to take it easy, i did that way too many times!

How much time do you have to play video games in a typical week these days and how do you decide what to play? Do you try to play one single game until you finish it, do you have some sort of rotation system, or is it just a crapshoot based on however you're feeling on a given day? I'm finding myself with much less time to game these days (got married last December) and I'm struggling a bit to figure out how best to utilize the time I do have effectively.

Do you think it’s possible we will see a sly 5. With the first in the classics catalog and the second and third on the way maybe they’re seeing if there is still interest. Personally I doubt it but can always hope.
