I dont know about this decision. This game needs every selling point it can have to sell well. To lock a (admittedly dumb imo) feature behind DLC when it is clearly ready at launch is such a bad move. It would read so much better to say "Daedelic has gone the extra mile here and hired professional voice actors to give you the option of hearing elven language and we are including this in the base game from day one". Maybe they hired the VA and are giving them a pool of commissions from DLC sales, who knows... but the optics are bad. I don't think it will sell well anyways, not many people have been clamoring to play as Gollum lol
@MatthewJP He's right, in the beginning it was ridiculous the amount of racing you had to do to earn enough credits for the high end cars after you completed the main tasks. People quickly resorted to cheating with certain cars by taking advantage of the broken tuning.
@elpardo1984 They've basically fixed the economy now. There are a lot more ways to make money. That first month or so was rough, but don't let those first missteps cause you to miss out on the game, it is a great game.
@get2sammyb As someone that really wants to get into VR but the old headset made them sick, in your opinion does the new features help? Wondering if someone at push square falls into this category as well and could give a take on if enough has been done to now make it more enjoyable for us squeamish?
Dang Midnight Sun's getting a lot of praise here. I remember the reviews being middling so I passed but I'm a turn based tactics guy so it sounds like I should try it during the next sale.
I loved that trailer so much. I honestly rewatched it several times over the years leading up to release. I freaking loved Cyberpunk 2077, but I also played on PS5 (on release) and now a high end gaming laptop after all the updates.
Cory being on as Executive producer gives me a lot of hope. They need to get the casting right, but the show could be really good with Amazon's budget behind to create some of the amazing Norse set pieces.
The last one made me sick. I preordered this hoping the faster displays and haptic tech help me get past that. If not, it will be returned or up for sale pretty soon after.
@MatthewJP Oh awesome, thatll work thanks for clearing it up. I need to get back to racing but I'm injured so haven't been able to use my wheel setup. Almost healed though I think and then it is on again! It's going to be like a new game with all the updates since then.
@Gbarsotini I enjoyed wheel of time once I got over some of the horrible music and ridiculous spellcasting dancing, and weird videography. The actors weren't very likable either. Okay yeah it wasn't very good was it? I made it to the end of the season though! More than I can say for rings of power.
@nomither6 Not sure if I'm being baited here but why would anyone buy a Playstation if they didn't want the exclusive games? You allude to them not being good at anything but their first party exclusives are world class and consistently get excellent reviews from gamers and publications.
If you feel that way, just don't get a Playstation, pretty simple choice to go with PC or Xbox.
Their focus on live service / MMO games is concerning. Not sure why they don't focus on what they are good at and do more of that instead of trying to catch the MMO lightning in a bottle.
I really need to try it before I buy it this time. The last one made me sick even after short session training. Hopefully the added features to help with this do their job.
I didn't get it because of the framerate problems. Hopefully they can fix it. May just wait to see if it shows on PS plus in a year or two like the first one did.
Still nothing at this point to entice me to move away from regular plus. I was looking at the extra tier just yesterday and it's all games I've already played or don't really have any interest on. Good month for regular plus though, Injustice 2 and Hot Wheels are both fun games.
Rig Nacon with PS Play is a much better option as you'll get a full controller and PS Play works even better than the official Remote Play app. It also works with the better phone OS (Android). I have a Gamesir Bluetooth controller and it works great but the controller is cramped after awhile, so probably will upgrade to the Nacon soon.
A remaster is fine, but the development team behind what made Suikoden great is now working on Hundred Heroes. Sorry Konami your ship has sailed to take advantage of this incredible ip. I have no faith that they can and will create something new.

Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy 16 Is the Most Excited I've Been for the Series in Almost 20 Years
@rjejr Same. I watched the preview yesterday and I'm sold. I don't want to spoil sidequests or any other systems.
Re: Soapbox: Watch Another 20 Minutes of Final Fantasy 16? You Must Be Mad
This is a weird take. The game is 70 bucks, I would be concerned if they weren't showing it off. Horizon got this same treatment.

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Doubles Down on Being a Traditional Assassin's Creed Game
They should just shelve the franchise for several more years and go create something else with the team.

Re: Big Final Fantasy Announcement Teased for 2023, Unrelated to Final Fantasy 7
Or heck a sequel to the original FF Tactics would be even better
Re: Big Final Fantasy Announcement Teased for 2023, Unrelated to Final Fantasy 7
Man, a Tactics remake would be so amazing. Remastering or remaking the other tactics games would be great as well.
Re: Naughty Dog Can't Wait to Show New PS5 Projects
Hopefully they're working on a new ip, pretty tired of tlou to be honest. Uncharted would be alright I guess but it's gonna be weird without Nate.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion?
8, it's pretty awesome, but definitely some of that JRPG cringe. Just a beautiful remake though.

Re: Trails into Reverie Concludes the Cold Steel Saga in July 2023 for PS5, PS4
@RawnDawn They're too busy cranking them out to work on visuals. It seems like every year there is either a new game released or one announced.

The first dead space was cool when it came out, but when I was done with it I never wanted sequels or copies. I won't be buying this.
