September 2023 Q&A Time! Submit Those Questions!
Added 2023-09-03 22:23:17 +0000 UTCAhh the temperatures are lowering, the trees are getting sick, and the Fall flavored commercialization is rolling in. And you KNOW I'm addicted to those Apple Crisp Macchiato's from Starbucks.
Anyway, it's time for our quarterly Q&A sessions! Do you have a question that you'd like to see answered on video? Then you know the dealio, feel free to write them down below (if you can, the shorter the better!) and I'll film the answers in about two weeks and get them up here for your viewing pleasure. You can also send questions to: MysticRyan@Gmail.com if that's more your speed. Thanks again you beautiful people, I'll have some deleted scenes extras coming soon as well! Apologies on the drought there.
- Ryan

Hi Ryan! Just chiming in that we are still waiting for you to start streaming :D any updates on that? And last question, if you were stranded on a deserted island and had to pick between Switch and PS5 in it's current state, which one would you choose? Electricity and TV included lol You take it easy!

2023-09-16 18:23:33 +0000 UTCHey there, Ryan! Honesty time. I’ve been cheating on my PS5. Starfield has consumed me. Lol. What are your thoughts on Starfield (if you’ve played) and are there any other upcoming releases interesting you at the moment? (Spider-Man 2, Lies Of P, Forza Motorsport, Super Mario Wonder.) Looking forward to your eventual PlayStation Portal Review! Take it easy, enjoy!

2023-09-13 01:44:50 +0000 UTCDid you ever thought about streaming games while playing them on twitch for example while directly engaging with your audience? I think that for some videos that you've made it would be very nice if you just streamed the process of playing a game until platinum for example. I for one would watch that stream.

2023-09-12 13:23:40 +0000 UTCWhat do you play on your Xbox Series X nowadays? If you don't play on it that often, are there upcoming Xbox games that you're interested in? Also, may I add you on Xbox? I'm getting a Series S tomorrow as of writing this question!
Louis
2023-09-12 10:13:00 +0000 UTCIs there a niche game genre or type you’d like a AAA studio to attempt?

2023-09-10 21:25:02 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, glad to see you're still pumping out scrumptious content. You always add a nice little spice to every Tuesday and Friday so thank-you! My question: What is your favourite DLC/expansion pack? You take it easy.

2023-09-10 04:30:10 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, I know you are a Pokemon enthusiast and I was curious to know if it was possible to see your collection of cards or at least the rarer ones. Are you also inside the YuGiOh world? Show us if you have some gems!

2023-09-09 03:31:13 +0000 UTCJust as a thought experiment can you imagine how Shawn Layden would’ve handled the Xbox merger? I just can’t imagine him fighting it so hard like Jim Ryan did.
TJ
2023-09-08 21:24:26 +0000 UTCHi Ryan! I don't have any gaming related questions in mind, so I would like to know how old is Melissa, where did you get it from/do you know about her siblings and what is her favorite spot in the new house? Keep up the good work!
Otto Kapanen
2023-09-08 21:10:32 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, was just curious as to what your favorite ratchet and clank and sly cooper game is. Love your videos
Paul Romano
2023-09-08 08:27:48 +0000 UTCDon’t laugh at me but… Do you think there’s any chance that the heavily rumored PS5 PRO will have an emulator to download or play PS3 discs? And, which PS system has the best boot up sound and why is it the original PS3 Orchestra? See you in the next Q&A and YOU… take it easy!

2023-09-08 06:39:13 +0000 UTCHello Ryan, i hope everythings good. First of all thank you so much for your content and based level approach to Playstation. Regarding the PS Plus Price increase, do you see cloud gaming on mobile devices being a thing in the upcoming year? I think Sony could easily patch the functionality of a dedicated cloud gaming service into the Playstation Portal. I think that would lower the barrier for people to access Playstation Games. Just like Xbox is almost available everywhere. Thanks again and stay healthy!

2023-09-07 20:36:02 +0000 UTCWhat up g. You ever play def jam fight for ny? This was my shit but mom could never afford to buy it when I was a kid, but I definitely rented it a few times. Figured I’d ask since you said your music tastes includes older hip hop.
Marvin Gutierrez
2023-09-07 17:38:25 +0000 UTCHey Ryan! Got a PS5 for my 18th birthday and i have been happy playing away. A pretty relevant question but do you feel the special edition faceplates for the PS5 feel less valuable due to the easy swapability?
KarrotD2K
2023-09-07 14:20:08 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, is there a Ms Mystic in the picture? Apart from Melissa of course! Figured I’d change the vibe from a lot of the gaming questions

2023-09-06 23:30:22 +0000 UTCCongrats on ~750k subscribers! I used to watch your Let’s Plays in the college library before my classes started. I’m especially nostalgic for that Year of the Dragon playthrough. I read that Shawn Layden interview you mentioned in LTPS. He talks about the gaming industry disrupting itself, how Apple/Amazon have disrupted industries. It seems unlikely to me with growing consolidation, but then again, gaming slowly but surely evolves. Whether it’s microtransactions, the undeniable polish of new single player games, or something unexpected like a Balder’s Gate. What do you think that disruption might look like? Thoughts?

2023-09-06 12:12:48 +0000 UTCHey Ryan! Hope you and Melissa are doing good! Here are my questions: 1.)Do you ever think SuckerPunch will bring back Sly and the gang for one final hurrah? Personally was my favorite franchise from the PS2 era, would be nice to see them one last time as a perfect send off, wouldn't mind remakes too. 2. I know you said you are thinking of livestreaming some here and there, would you possibly do some as part of your 30 platniums and 30 days you have planned? Have a good one and keep being Awesome!
Jarrod Verburg
2023-09-06 06:32:36 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, I hope things are going well. My question is that while your house was being built, I believe you mentioned at one point that it was 3D Printed. Approximately how much was it to build? As always, thanks for the awesome content.
Jeremy Joyner
2023-09-06 05:38:19 +0000 UTCHello Ryan. I hope it's okay to ask non-Playstation related questions. 1. With rumors of the Switch successor popping up, would you prefer Nintendo to be less conservative with their consoles - technology and specs-wise - moving forward? As fantastic as I think Nintendo's first party games are, I can't help but feel that its hardware is just underpowered - especially with how games perform in docked mode. I know Nintendo has never really focused on the hardware, especially under Satoru Iwata's watch, but I'm interested in knowing your take on this. 2. Does YouTube ever feel like a job to you? You've been doing this for a very long time, so are there moments where it feels more like a chore that you have to do than something you genuinely enjoy and love Thank you very much for making videos and all that you do. Your uploads are genuinely something I look forward to every week. All the best, Ryan.

2023-09-06 03:02:47 +0000 UTCAre you looking forward to shoveling snow this winter now that you're a home owner? You guys get like feet of snow at a time, right?! In Minneapolis we get a few inches here and there but it's totally manageable.
Beau Tepley
2023-09-05 17:07:28 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, I’ve been thinking about this recently so wanted to ask, as some of our favorite video game creators age and get closer to either retirement or passing away do you see yourself leaving gaming behind at some point? For me personally if Hideo Kojima passed away I think I’d stop gaming entirely. Hope the question isn’t too depressing lol, Thanks for the great work.

Andrew Burnes
2023-09-05 08:31:09 +0000 UTCRyan, I noticed in some of your videos that you have what looks to be a 19-inch Vizio TV. Was wondering if that TV survived the move and how long you've had it; I've had the exact same model that has survived various moves for well over a decade. Also, I was watching some of your older videos recently and saw the one where you make a grill out of a PS4 Pro shell (a classic, btw). Melissa was in the video briefly and the way you referenced her it sounded like you had just adopted her. Was that her channel debut? Enjoy the Fall! I'm sure looking forward for temps to drop below the 90-100 range we're still getting down in Texas.
Andrew Burnes
2023-09-05 08:29:23 +0000 UTCHello Ryan! Q1: Do you think the next PlayStations will keep being backwards compatible like PS5 due to similar architecture (x86) or will we get another PS3 situation. Q2: Do you think the Portal has any affect on the chances of a new native software portable from Sony? Q3: Are you a beach or pool person? (I grew up by the ocean in Portugal so I'm kinda tired of sand everywhere and prefer pool at this point) Keep up the amazing work! Hopefully we see Melissa in the Q&A.

2023-09-05 07:46:55 +0000 UTCHey, Ryan! Hope you're doing well. Are there any YouTube channels that focus on getting really challenging platinums that you enjoy watching?
Adam Razak
2023-09-05 02:41:01 +0000 UTCIf you had to pick ONE best game for every PlayStation console ever, which ones would they be?
Andrei Clenci
2023-09-04 21:32:05 +0000 UTCHello! Maybe a spicy question but do you think Sony is making too many "greedy" decisions (for lack of a better word) this generation? Raising the price of consoles in most regions, closing their small studios, raising the price of PS+ despite reporting record profits, investing heavily in live-service titles, introducing proprietary earbuds/headphones, etc. It has been feeling like more and more of the decisions they are making has been pushing me away as a hardcore fan of theirs, and their first party output hasn't been enough to distract me from these issues this generation. Be curious to hear some general thoughts from a more hardcore PS guy. All the best to you and Melissa!
Tyler Botill
2023-09-04 15:49:04 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, long time fan of your work so thank you for all that you do. Are you going to bother getting the Spider-Man 2 accessories (face plates, controller etc)? Also, are you going to include Spider-Man 2 in your 30 days for 30 platinums with it releasing in October? You take it easy! Much love.
SolidJD
2023-09-04 14:54:53 +0000 UTCHi Ryan - hope all is well! During the early years of the PS4 generation, Sony decided to remaster some PS3 games, such as Last of Us, Uncharted, and God of War 3. Why do you think they decided to stop and not bring forward other titles such as Infamous, Resistance, Killzone etc? Also, are you planning on playing Starfield on Xbox? Finally, its Spyro's 25th anniversary this month. What would you like to see out of a potential 4th game, continuing on from the original trilogy? Thanks :)
Adam Thorley
2023-09-04 13:46:00 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, hope all is well! When you were growing up what were some of your favourite gaming magazines/websites? Of these, what has had the biggest influence on how you approach your content?
Sam Brown
2023-09-04 06:45:36 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, have you ever considered going on a trip to Japan for some nice video game pickups? Their stores are goated over there.

2023-09-04 05:15:35 +0000 UTCHello Ryan! Fellow western new yorker here and as you know we don't have the greatest selection of local video game stores in the Buffalo/Niagara region. I find myself crossing the border often for video game hunting in Canada because I find it more fun than always buying on ebay. Just wondering if you have any cool game store finds or memories and if you also enjoy some Canadian days with ketchup chips and poutine for lunch! Been watching a long time and thanks for all the great content as always!

Mason Clarke
2023-09-04 02:13:56 +0000 UTCNow that we know that the ABK acquisition is a done deal. I know you have stated that it's not Sony thing to do but Do you think that this will force their hand to acquire a bigger studio? If so, which one and by how much? Imo I think they should buy Take two so that they can revive R* games forgotten single player games eg Bully II That's a good segway into my next question (See what I did there). I know it's been a while since you've done a documentary, but do you think that the ABK deal could be the next topic? Last One is a quickie when you tell us about when the next PS software beta is going to go live, could you provide a link in the description of where to sign up if we wanted to? Pro tip for you and other patrons and YT members: I've been playing Spider - Man and Spiderman MM to lead up to Spiderman 2 and the accessibility settings are more than just for the disabled rather than go through the tedious puzzles that are required to progress in a second or third playthrough, there's an option in the settings to skip it. There's 45 minutes you can spend on the next game, maybe even more if you remember to put it on for your first playthrough.

2023-09-04 02:00:00 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, I hope you, Melissa and Terrell are doing well! (I'm so sorry if I misspelled Terrell!) Are you planning on doing another 30 platinums in 30 days video this year? Or maybe doing a different trophy-related challenge, like getting a platinum for every letter in the alphabet (one for A, one for B, etc) in a month for example? Have you thought about perhaps doing a series where you talk about some hidden, underrated gems (games) for each Playstation console? Are there any games based off of television shows, or other forms of visual media, that you play not because it is a game related to that media, but because the gameplay is very good. For example, one of my favourite games of all time is Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom, I don't have much of an interest in Spongebob, but I love the level design, mechanics, and look of the game. Let me know if 3 questions is too many to ask lol, don't wanna be greedy! Stay safe man! Keep up the amazing work, and give Melissa some fuss for me!
Jazzy Boswell
2023-09-04 00:16:36 +0000 UTCWhat game are you most excited for? I can’t wait to play Spider-Man 2. And do you think that there should be a 3 year gap in between COD MW II and COD MW III like the 3 year gap between COD MW and COD MW II? agree with people that it seems kind of stupid to release it so close together. Hope you’re doing well.
Quinn Q Miller
2023-09-03 23:26:31 +0000 UTCSoon gonna be 2 years since last 30 days platinum, any plans to make one for end 2023/early 2024 as well? As always, love the content! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭 Btw not to be included in the Q&A but for Let's talk Plus maybe you have the possibility to share a link of a public patreon post on which you would update the gleam link something like that?
Martin Derleth
2023-09-03 23:20:44 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, I’ve noticed you’re not one to collect many collectors editions of games or special edition consoles. Any reason behind this? I ask because I’ve recently crossed of few of my most wanted off the list, 500 Million PS4 Pro, God of War Pro and Spider-Man PS4 pro. Thanks for the awesome content.
