The great thing about FF is that with every mainline game you had a new battle system, new story,new world and new characters. So if the current wasn't for you, you always knew the next one might be.
When they started doing sequels they lost something, can't really put my finger on it, they just lost that magic touch. XV was their worst. It was still a decent game but they really didn't know where to go with it.
With the last couple of FF's they seem to find that sprak of magic again. XVI might not be for everyone but is still a great game. Rebirth is amazing and they really went the extra mile with that one.
Reading PS6 game just triggers me in the wrong way. I love my PS5 and it's games but in no way do I feel like buying a new PlayStation consoles in the next couple of years.
It's understandable that third party games will be removed after a while. First party should stay locked in the service. There's no excuse why old games like infamous are removed.
"continue offering high-quality games and value-added benefits" Best joke of the year.
We all know UK and Europe will be next with a price increase. It's their best market, they make the most money here, so they will want to use the global market conditions as an excuses to capatalise on that here as well.
So there biggest competitor is launching a new console Wich dominated the world with their last console. And their first move is raise the price of the PS5. Makes sense. At least announce a lot of big first party games first next time you raise the prices. Might ease the bad press.
I was planning on buying it until I saw the game prices. Nintendo games are good but not that good that they can charge almost 90€ for games physically and 80 digitally.
I'm really surprised Nintendo gets away with this from gamers of Sony or Microsoft would do this they get hanged.
This is what makes the story of the last of us so great. Both part 1 and 2. It's not a story of good vs evil but about human emotions and how it affects the choices the characters make and how those impact others on the games world. Not either side is wrong and most of us would react in the same way. Especially part 2.
@AhmadSumadi @themightyant they have to put that line in, they have to. I tried to rewatch the series with my kids. They didn't like the style at all. Cartoons really changed from when we were kids.
Season 1 was rushed, viewers couldn't bond or built any connection with the main characters. Adding episodes where they were almost not in it didn't help either. For that it will not have the same impact as Ned stark in Game of Thrones.
Don't get me wrong, the serie is good in it's own way, but it could have been alot better. It won't ever have the same impact as the game.
I understand what he's saying but I don't fully agree. A part of the the excitement in rpg battles is that you can lose at any time. That you're choices in those batlles can have big consequences if you make the wrong one. That's also the learning curve in those games and what makes them challenging. Adding a rewind futures elimantes those consequences of your actions in battles. I don't really think fans see that as wasting time.
The only time a think I wasted time on a 100+ hours rpg is if the ending is bad. Especially if the main character dies for no reason except shock factor, or because it's a trend since Game of Thrones just to do that.
Considering it's Sony, those fans should be happy there are still games being made for this franchise after 20 years. Not many PlayStation franchise can say that.
So mostly ports and remakes from the glorious Squaresoft days 😏. He seems like a great passionate guy and a real fan of games. This video just reminded me on how many games I still need to add to my collection.
Wish this game would be playable in single player in some way. It looks great and the story seems fun. Not really into buying games that will be unplayable in the future and my wife doesn't like playing these games together.
@PerpetualBoredom like my fellow gamer above me already said, yes, in some regard this can be called a spoiler.
Some people in the 21st century prefer not be shown everything there is in a game before they play it. They love to be surprised. A sensation that makes you feel shocked, happy or sometimes dissapointed and even angry.
It's something lost in recent years. And people that do still enjoy this feeling are usually bullied, called out that they are crazy that they still want to experience these small enjoyments of life.
Well that s*cks if true. Was hoping for this to be released on the PS5 so the story feels finished. Part 2 has so much plot holes ans unfinished story elements.
Just remove him if this is how he is going to write his stories. This news makes me less excited for intergelatic to be honest. Way to go PlayStation another franchise flushed down the toilet.
The maps feel so empty with just one person walking around in the background on those screens. Back then it didn't matter that much because it was a step up from previous games. Now it feels out of place somehow, maybe there's more in the game.
Looking forward to it, loved part 3 when it first released.
@belmont depends on where we buy them. Most online stores don't ask shipping costs after a 40 euro. I usually get new games between 50-65. And smaller games at 39,95.
Why not reboot Sonic R. Sure going back to that game now is not as fun because if the controls but it could be amazing. It at least makes more sense to have the fastest hedgehog alive run instead of sitting in a slower car.

If a remake is true, please don't make it multiple games again like FFVII. Don't want to wait another decade to finish one story.
