He acts like Japan is still the end-all be-all for MH and that they didn't go full Global with World. They already sold 10 million copies.
If cost is what he's worried about why not go the Team Cherry route and make your game $20? I'm sure that will move units.
And somehow he thinks the 6 million Switch 2 install base is going to reverse there fortunes? If you are not satisfied with the sales from an 80 million install base what do you 6 will get you?
I'm late this week! The Shadow drop of Triangle Strategy on PS5 got me to impulse buy it. I'm only 1 hour in and still trying to get to grips with the combat system. I'm looking forward to taking my time and learning it. This purchase completely throws off my plans to beat and uninstall both HZD Remastered & Oblivion Remastered before Ghost of Yotei & Digimon Story Time Stranger come out but oh well.
Well, I gave Lies of P a shot but I'm not sure it's for me. I've been playing MH Wilds with friends to grind out the new RNG Talismans and that's been a blast! I'm still progressing throught HZD Remastered hoping to platinum it in a few weeks
@ilyn @Naruball @Westernwolf4 Seeing you all and others here speak positively about Veilguard has peaked my interest. Knowing that it comes from actual people who have actually played the game and not just Twitter engagement farmers makes me more trusting of your opinions.
I added the game to my library when it was on PS Plus just in case so I think I will play it. Probably not this year give my current Backlog and what I plan to buy later this year but I definitely am going to try it.
Well I've pause Oblivion Remastered (45hrs in and loving it) to start up Lies of P (3.5hrs in) its really good! Looking forward to experimenting with weapon parts this weekend.
I hope this demo comes to Playstation as I'd like to try this out first. Not sure why the Trailer made this seem like far more of a Kid-targeted game. It's seemed almost silly at times. But I'm interested.
What saddens me is that Asia is now off the table for the Horizon franchise lest Sony be accused of stealing Tencents idea. I guess Horizon 3 will have to take Aloy to Australia. Good thing Kojima already recreated it in Decima so they have a head start π
@ShogunRok I think this is the most Damning evidence. It strongly implies Horizon wasnt just the inspiration but the target for this game from the start and not just some coincidentally similar concept. Yeah I think Sony can win this one.
TES Oblivion Remastered has taken over! Surprisingly, the latest patch has actually noticeably improved performance for me on base PS5. It's not perfect but it's better than before for me. Not sure if that's been anyone else's experience. And I'm supposed to play more MH Wilds Flamefete festival today with the boys but idk.
The fact Sony owns so much anime but hasn't Liscensed it out or made 1st party games is baffling. They need an I.C.E. group for anime like they did during the PS3 era. Someone needs to start working together across departments. The gatxha game angle is brilliant not sure how they haven't thought of it yet.
And now it begins: we will have some saying they should drop the multiplayer mode and focus on SP and others who will says if it's not out by End of Year it's an L.
Reality: Anything like Legends in 2025 would be made into a Live Service with a Battlepass and Im not sure that's what gamers want.
Welp I've been sucked into Oblivion Remastered and it's taking over my consciousness. I'm only 12hrs in and level 6 but not 1 single oblivion gate has been opened yet π€£
I will probably play some MH Wilds with the boys later today. Between MH Oblivion and eventually platinuming HZD Remastered I should be good till my planned double feature of Ghost Yotei/Digimon Story Time Stranger in October.
We're in danger of becoming too complacent and just expecting there to be FREE GOW Valhalla-level post content nowadays. We really have to appreciate these more cause it's not a given.
I just bought this 3 days ago, having a great time but the performance and hitches is deplorable. I HOPE this patch came improve it somewhat, but judging by DF and the previous comments I will likely be disappointed.
@kyleforrester87 Welp, I caved. I'll probably spend the day in the character creator and tomorrow actually start playing. This, HZD Remastered and the occasional MH wilds quest will take me till Ghost of Yotei and Digimon Story Time Stranger release in October π«‘
Playing MH Wilds with the boys to rank up a friend to HR41 so he can fight Lagiacrus with us this weekend! And I'll dip my toe backing into HZD Remastered.
I understand that the GAAS titles need all the players they can get and this is the only successful one Sony has. For it to even have a chance at Apex Legends levels of success it needs to be multiplat. But Xbox is basically dead so I'm not sire it will gain thst much. Plus it rubs the PS fan base the wrong way.
I can understand the reasoning behind it but it's still weird. π€·πΎββοΈ
Having finally Platinumed Unicorn Overlord I'm going back to HZD Remastered this weekend. TU 2 for Monster Hunter Wilds is on Monday so I'll go back to that as well.
@Questionable_Duck Yeah they Cleary were targeting PS4 given when development started and I guess they didn't bother with trying for 60fps. But the game looks great!
I'm just a few hours of gameplay away from the Platinum trophy for Unicorn Overlord! Will our hero actually GET those few hours to play this weekend? Tune in next week for another exciting episode of As the Dualsense Rumbles.

Re: Free-to-Play Juggernaut Genshin Impact Is Delisting and Shutting Down PS4 Version

Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Confirmed and Set for a PS5 Release This December

Re: Rumour: New Octopath Traveler Game Set for PS5 Reveal

Re: Tencent's Take on Horizon Would Have Taken Aloy to Asia

Re: Talking Point: Sony's Investing in Anime, But Why Isn't PlayStation Leading the Charge?
The fact Sony owns so much anime but hasn't Liscensed it out or made 1st party games is baffling. They need an I.C.E. group for anime like they did during the PS3 era.

Re: Rumour: Oblivion Remastered, Metal Gear Solid Delta Dev Hit with Hundreds of Layoffs
This is just plain mismanagement by the higher-ups. This also makes more performance patches unlikely if the Devs are either laid off or protesting.
