Re: Days Gone Dev Hard at Work on Its Best Game Yet for PS5

Ashina

Give them the benefit of the doubt. Take all the time they need to make a great game. With how many games coming out unfinished recently, it's good that some devs are taking their time to cook their games. 2023 is already packed with games as it is and should keep many of us busy anyway

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at the PlayStation Showcase?

Ashina

Some of the game highlights for me:

  • MGS Delta: Snake Eater + MGS collection Vol.1
  • Granblue Fantasy Relink getting a Winter 2023 release date (pls do not delay anymore)
  • Spider-Man 2. Wasn't really that much hyped for this but seeing that gameplay made me excited even more now.
  • Phantom Blade 0 with that sick combat mechanic
  • Tower of Fantasy finally releasing on PS5 (I just want to play another F2P game other than Genshin Impact lmao)

Overall, it was an OK showcase but definitely lacking and not really worth the hype.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

Ashina

It was okay, so many shooters but they don't appeal to me personally so they're pretty meh in my book. MGS3 remake + HD collection was the highlight for me and while the release date wasn't specified, I'm glad Grand Blue Fantasy Relink will finally get a winter 2023 release (I hope there are no delays).

Tower of Fantasy coming to PS5 seems to fly under everyone's radar but understandable and lastly, Spider-Man 2, which looks really good.

Overall, this was a pretty mid presentation. Lots of games but not really worth the hype.

Re: PlayStation Well Ahead of Nintendo, Xbox In Terms of Brand Momentum, Says Sony

Ashina

insert Obama giving Obama a medal meme
Man, Sony is really showing off, though they do have some numbers to show for it.

I expect that the Switch's momentum will slow down a little after ToTK. There's really no big Nintendo game around the corner after (unless by miracle, they finally announce Metroid Prime 4).

Still, I wouldn't underestimate Nintendo. You never know what they have under their sleeves.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Gameplay Reveal Skipping PS Showcase

Ashina

I was expecting a MK1 trailer in the PS showcase since Sony loves to show fighting games. Even if this won't be in the showcase, there's going to be a fighting game related trailer there. Since this is already very unlikely, my money will go to another Tekken character reveal (possibly Yoshimitsu).

Re: No Final Fantasy 16 DLC Planned, Said to Be a 'One-Off Game'

Ashina

lmao, they really are avoiding the FFXV situation.

Well, as long as the game will be able to tell a great story without any loose ends, then it's all good for me. Sekiro also didn't have any DLC despite fan requests but overall, it was a great game with enough lore to tell. No need to expand its story

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is So Polished, It Doesn't Need a Day One Patch

Ashina

No game is perfect and there will always be bugs and glitches but as long as they're not game-breaking nor they hinder the gameplay experience, I'm fine with it.

It's just sad that we're at a time where day 1 patches are a norm for AAA games and this is kind of a news. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the devs wanting the game to be playable with almost no issues upon launch.

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

Ashina

I'm sure Phil is a great guy but he sure sounds like a poor car salesman right now. Pretty sure his narrative will change once Starfield comes out and it impresses everyone (assuming that it will actually meet expectations that is).

Re: Redfall: Can You Play It on PS5, PS4?

Ashina

Never heard of Redfall until recently so all I can say is, I really don't care if this game is playable in Ps5/PS4. I've checked the gameplay and looks like another generic shooter to me

Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster (PS4) - One of the Greatest 2D RPGs of All Time

Ashina

As someone who grew up with FF7, FF8 and FF9 onwards, I missed out on any of the SNES FF games, particularly FFVI. I finally gave this game a shot recently and I can finally understand why so many fans loved this game. The characters are so endearing and are quite unique with Locke and Celes being my favorites so far. I only knew what Kefka was like thanks to Dissidia and I got to say that he is exactly how I imagine him in this game, he's pure chaos and I love him for that. But really, each characters so far are so endearing and likeable.

The soundtrack is so good and again, Locke and Celes' themes are by far, my favorites alongside Terra's theme.

Sadly, I've never had the chance to finish the game (not yet at least) but with the pixel remasters, I'm willing to finish this because it's so good.

Re: Final Fantasy 12 Director Quashes That Long-Standing Basch Rumour

Ashina

I love XII and Basch is a badass. That said, I was never under the impression that he was supposed to be the main character. The journey is mostly about Ashe and her quest for power to save Dalmasca. Basch is just there to protect her (much like what Steiner does for Garnet) so him being the supposed main character wouldn't make sense either.

Re: Poll: How Was Final Fantasy 16's State of Play Showcase?

Ashina

It was excellent though I feel like there's so much that they've shown in this presentation, particularly the Eikon battles. I feel that those could have been more epic if we experience them 1st time. I know I should've just avoided this but was tempted to check this presentation and it's still going to be epic once I get there though. My only disappointment is that no demo was announced but that's just a personal gripe.

Re: Resident Evil 4's Ada Wong Responds to Social Media Abuse

Ashina

I played the remake without noticing any difference in Ada's voice. I guess the VA just fits naturally for me. RE games aren't really known for having over the top voice acting in the 1st place anyway and harassing the VA is so stupid and unnecessary. Capcom hired them and they did their job. That's all there is to it. No reason to take this personally.

Re: Persona 3 Remake Is Reportedly Real and In Development

Ashina

Persona 3 still to this day is my all time favorite game in the SMT franchise. For how good it is, the gameplay does feel outdated compared to P5 and was hoping one day, the game will get that P5 treatment. I guess now's that time. C'mon Atlus, announce the remake already.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Care About a PS5 Remote Play Handheld?

Ashina

Assuming that this is true, I understand if PS5 and maybe some PS4 will require remote play but give us the option to play older titles natively. No excuse to not allow us to play older games, especially PS1 titles without having to stay online/stream via remote play only. Give us the option to play games offline
