Switch sold 13.1 in its 1st year and is considered huge success. Ps5 sold 17.3 in its 1st year it is far from failure this is the beginning and also in the middle of a pandemic.
I wasn't alive during ps1 gen but I played this a decade ago. XIII hooked me on jrpgs and VII was my next step and absolutely blew me away how deep it was for such an old game. It's a timeless classic.
unlike everyone here, I preordered this game almost a year before its release as I had 100% every cdpr game. It's a move I regretted but I did beat the game in a week on a ps4 and did every side quest before the end of the year 2020. CDPR still remains one of my favorite devs because they bring ambition and love to all their projects
@kyleforrester87 Ff has a bright future with ffvii remake and ffxvi being lead by great teams that are loved by the fanbase and also ffxiv building on its massive success. I'll be alright with or without this.
@kyleforrester87 it's not just any spinoff it is the prequel to the 1st ff game and my opinion is it's not what the franchise needed or at least what I need atm. It definitely has a much larger budget than chocobo gp with team ninja working for them. Shadow the hedgehog was also a spinoff and that's still considered one of the weirdest games in history and only remembered for the memes.
The more I see...the less interested I am even if I liked the demo. As a ff fan I'm more interested in chocobo gp on switch for some casual fun. FF is already a hardcore franchise it doesn't need cheap souls-like knock offs what were they thinking.
What!?? NO! Tencentsoft wants to burn bridges with PlayStation's partners. First bethesda and now this? Do you understand how vital call of duty is for playstation's success when it's been a top seller year after year. Microsoft has now monopolized the fps genre apart from battlefield when it's at its lowest point now. The fact that sony is losing the japanese market doesn't help either they need a strong plan asap.
Each machine should give something unique. The elephant can give components for a defensive build and the cobra shot accuracy or power. I need this game right now it's been 4+ years since I platinumed horizon my first ps4 game.
Don't forget switch is in its peak years whereas ps5 released during a pandemic with chip supply issues. I fully expect ps to gain ground if not surpass nintendo's sales in the next years especially when the switch gets old and the next nintendo comes out
If I didn't already know how great platinum games are I wouldn't be interested in what they've shown so far but I'll be playing it on day 1. I even bought switch a few months ago just to play bayonetta 3 this year.
Only top tier games like the last of us or witcher. In witcher 3 I still remember the letter from past jacques de aldersberg who was the final boss of witcher 1 passing his final message to geralt about the wild hunt. That was epic.
I've done the mistake to start ffxiv endwalker 3 weeks ago and I spent more time than I should've. Anw I'm currently doing pandemonium raids but after this I'm taking a long break from gaming. Playing mmos is like paying a police officer to throw you in jail.
Maybe I will finally buy iki island dlc but anything else is not worth it for me. I;m sure kena and some other recent games will be a lot cheaper next year
The game does enough to differentiate itself from pokemon. And it's just unfairly challenging at times so it requires you to plan out your team before going to a gym so I'd say it's for the hardcore fan of the genre who grew up playing pokemon and now finds it too easy and niche. Different doesn't mean better but the challenge is more satisfying.
I restarted ffxiv after a year so I have the 5.5 to finish and next week endwalker. Man it's hard to get back to an mmo I had to reset button layout, the hud, macros, find an fc and remember every move of my classes. I hope endwalker is worth it the only reason I will buy it is because its the end of the main story
What's the target audience of this game? Me and many other tolkien fans will never buy a game about Gollum. Shadow of games might have had great gameplay but the world was bleak and empty obviously because it's mordor so they should explore other regions from the legendarium. Beren and Luthien would make a great game adaptation because beren ventures a lot and is an actual warrior
I have godfall but never tried the endgame so if that means it will equip me with endgame ready armour I'm in. Also heard good things about mortal shell and almost bought it until the rumours of it being psplus. Great month for me
the combat actually has a ton of options to play giving it a lot of replay value. Everything can make a huge difference the mutagens, the ability points you spend, bombs etc....
legendary game the last of the peak 2010-2015 WRPG era. Rpgs havent felt the same in the west ever since this beast ended with the perfect swan song blood and wine......
I beat this game back in December 2020. Some of the bugs actually added to the fun for me I remember one time I was casually driving around night city when suddenly my car flew and I saw the city from above. The level of detail is unlike any other open-world game and the story, side quests, characters, bosses were all great. You could choose how you wanted to play the game from watchdogs to shadow warrior to hardcore fps... I recommend the haters to actually PLAY THE GAME BEFORE HATING...
a local retailer f€cked up the price discounts and I managed to get 10 games for just 60€ before they restored them. Some of them are dragon quest XIS for 5€, watchdogs legion for 10€, total war warhammer 2 limited edition for 2€. I won't be playing any tho cause midterm exams :/
Could sony grab fifa brand? I certainly don't want to see it happening but sony is already spending a lot on champions league ads and even featured some of its ips in the latest ad and many casuals in europe buy consoles just for fifa so making it ps console exclusive = profit
I really want re village to win. I thought it did perfectly what it set out to do. The eastern European aesthetic, how it made me think twice when or if I should expend my bullets/ coins and every boss fight was memorable
unfortunately for returnal it didn't get enough sales for it to be considered among the best and this definitely matters when you're in the spotlight of the No.1 gaming award show on the planet. Another reason I can think of is that it doesn't have much content I beat it in a week and didn't play it again until the latest major patch.
@TheDudeElDuderino wtf is that answer?? You need to calm down and tell yourself why you felt the need to start an account on a gaming site. We are here to socialise about GAMING. I'm not a psychologist and I'm not here to criticise you. I only asked if you knew what the definition of review bombing is and you took it personally! I even tried to be as nice to you as possible. Don't bother to reply I'm not here to waste time on personal issues. I'm here for GAMING.
@TheDudeElDuderino I got the memo bro you are not fooling anyone. You are not as smart as you think and instead of answering you go name calling you lowlife. Do you know the definition of insanity or should I write that down for ya too? You blamed the site of using "review bombing" when it's a legitimate term to use on this half assed remaster not because they don't like it but the Internet does not like it.
@TheDudeElDuderino A review bomb is an Internet phenomenon where a large number of people—or in rarer cases, a few people with multiple accounts—leave negative user reviews online. ... Review bombing is a similar practice to and shares characteristics of vote brigading and cancel culture. Its just a quick Google search dude.
I bought a switch and a dozen exclusives and while it's nostalgic to play the franchises that made me a gamer (metroid, mario, pokemon, zelda) nintendo has a real issue with revolutionizing its brands towards the future with the only exception being zelda. Nintendo Gameplay is great (except xenoblade and pokemon lets go seriously wtf happened to pokemon) but PlayStation has spoiled me to see games are more than just gameplay. Playstation is the king of console gaming currently
I beat godfall last night and it's not a bad game at all I enjoyed it from start to finish. The centre tower mode is like god of war's muspelheim trials and there is a lot of replay value. If there is one underrated ps5 game so far it's godfall
