The game is pretty solid though much more enjoyed Origins and Odyssey. The loot usually drives me forward in these games and the viking fur stuff just kinda sucks.
@Th3solution Same here, it seems Sony is sticking to its guns on first party titles a la Nintendo. I have yet to play Demons Souls or Ratchet and Clank because I am waiting for Sony to drop the price. Hopefully as the library gets larger they'll rethink the strategy of keeping the price high 6 months or even a year after release.
I could see a world where Sony saves the R&D costs to build new hardware and sell it at low profit to just delivering their games and making peripherals on pc. No more OS maintenance, move the store to 100% digital delivery to cut out disc production costs and remove reselling physical to maximize profits on games. Hardware wise they might make console PCs running windows and PSVR. Not saying I necessarily want this but it makes a lot of sense.
I played roughly 30 hours and it got boring. 30 hours isn't bad value, but it was a freaking time sink and a half. At some point I said I just can't do another run for a monster bone to get me this green knife.
This is an industry wide problem. As long as the masses continue to buy in, we'll keep seeing this. The only thing you can do is not buy these types of games (or play the "free" ones). It really is a shame that developers creative energy goes to filth like this.
This is actually pretty awesome if it works right. Since caveman times we have had to either manually adjust for each piece of content (no one does this), or just find the best all around settings and hope for the best. A world where each piece of content comes with its own auto calibrated setting, therefore giving us that content in a way the developer wanted us to see it, is frankly an incredible idea. I doubt it catches hold due to the effort involved and the small slice of the population that owns a Sony TV or heck even understands the tech. I wish this was compatible with my Sony projector..
I'm down for offering a different take than the others here. Netflix has revolutionized the way that I watch TV. I don't only watch Netflix, but I am paying a lot less money now for my 3 streaming services than I was spending on cable 8 years ago. Oh and the video and audio quality is wayyyy better. And the content. Shows are so much better now than they were, and it keeps getting better. No commercials (mostly). Bring Netflix gaming the F on, I'm exciting to see what they can do.
I kind of don't want pre-order bonuses. GT is so great because it's your own kind of rags to riches story. If you start out with super cars and 100k in your pocket, it kind of ruins that.
Main character is so annoying, they need to clean this up while they have time. The game has promise but each trailer things look a little worse and a little more stilted. That first trailer was so fluid. They obviously are not going to deliver what we saw there.
@ATaco Yeah the demo wasn't good for me either. I liked the characters okay, but the sum of its parts was less than what I hoped for. I think FFVIIRs battle system may have ruined me for action RPGs. Everything else just pales in comparison.
Better free games. I don't want PSNow bundled if it is going to raise the cost. I don't see why the current format is such a problem. You have a choice by getting the services separately. Bundling will absolutely raise the price. Choices are better than no choices people.
Understanding that this is a gaming site with more people than usual in to anime, but is this really going to move the needle with a lot of people? I just don't think this has mass market appeal. I don't know one person that watches anime. Cool for those that are in to it though.
Why is this incredible? A technical achievement? Wtf? I don't get it. People are making this sound like they coded this live on the fly. Billions of dollars and they put together a cartoon montage of a pop singer dancing to a few songs and some extremely light game elements and it's the greatest thing ever.
Go find A Decade of Sound Awake online and thank me later
@Dezzy70 We aren't going to see eye to eye on this one. Expensive proprietary plug in storage is awful and what killed the Vita. Insane to me that someone could think that's what should have been done here.
Avg Joe will just delete crap and not even think of expandable storage, it will just be what it is.
@Dezzy70 This is a bad take. More convenient upgrade solutions require proprietary elements (like the N64 slot you mentioned). The way Sony has done this is the best way. You can purchase drives from any manufacturer using a standardized format. Proprietary drives just for the convenience of not using a screwdriver is a terrible idea.
I have literally confused PS4 and PS5 versions 0 times and had my PS5 since launch. Are you guys just not reading the screens at all or what?
Sorry that Sony assumed you would actually pay attention to what you're doing. I guess it needs to be set to auto tune hip hop and overlaid with kitty cat gifs for you people to pay attention to it. And it's their oversight? Yeeeeeah

Re: Star Ocean Is Back with Action RPG The Divine Force on PS5, PS4
I used to love Star Ocean but this looks horrible. The main character looks like a WWE spare.
This needs another 3 years in the cooker
