I'm really curious to see what the soundtrack will be like. If they can nail the soundtrack, I feel it'll really elevate the overall experience. Kanno commenting that it'll be a surprise has me hoping it'll be good.
Also how much for Sammy to match Kanno's hairstyle? Gotta get those luscious locks lol.
I feel like it's one of those games that will definitely take a bit of time to get used to and the short amount of time they give you guys' isn't enough to get a full grasp on it.
But hey, I'm just glad to see RGG cook up a combat style that's actually pretty unique and an evolution to what they've done in Yakuza.
I get what John Linneman is saying, a lot of bigger publishers won't care about the change cause it doesn't affect their profit margins in a negative way, but a majority of smaller publishers and devs will be upset about it, which makes sense.
I do want to give the game a try since it's being headed by a ton of former Witcher devs. Enemies becoming sponges is pretty bleh cause it makes combat way too tedious, hopefully the devs can put out a patch that could tweak a few things.
I do remember the ignore item weight being one of the top mods on the game's Steam workshop so I'm not surprised CDPR added that natively into the game.
I mean, ya never know, the port could've gotten cancelled, which would be in the same vein as Ghost of Yotei's PC port being cancelled while it was in-development.
I was turning a blind eye towards gta 6 before the leaks but after seeing the gameplay and some of the technical advances that Rockstar pulled off, it got me a little hyped for the game lol.
Granted I'll play it once it comes out on pc but still.
Also on a side note, the PC fighting game community do a lot of great stuff with fighting games, look at how Maximilian Dood self-funded a mod that fixes MvC Infinite and makes it into a good MvC game.
It's actually been quite a while since I fired up my ps5. I think it was to play Astro Bot when it released or the Nightreign network test, one of the two. I switched my primary gaming device to pc quite a few years ago. So I guess theoretically I'm doing the blackout as well lol.
Good on Arrowhead for the game doing well, they definitely struck gold with it.
I don't really lay out much credit to Sony for the game's success, especially looking at some of the other live service games they have had their hands on.

Re: GTA 6 Limited Edition PS5 Controllers Revealed, Out 19th November
