Re: Feature: 2017 Is an Insane Year for Japanese Games on PS4

Jairo_MC

@KratosMD I only want Persona 5 this year and since I already played Persona Q, I recently watched the Persona 3 Movies and I'm playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE to get in the mood.
I also play them on the easiest setting so I can enjoy the story and its characters.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS4 Pro?

Jairo_MC

@get2sammyb From what I've seen so far it seems to be.
However, over here, the vanilla PS4 costs R$1.500 (around U$450) and the Pro costs between R$2.500-R$3.000 (around US750-900).
So, considering I don't own a 4K tv and that I bought one 55'' this year, I'm really on the fence.
Hopefully, black friday will have some good deals.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS4 Pro?

Jairo_MC

I don't own a PS4 yet, so I'm really thinking about going straight to the Pro.
However, the price gap between the base model and the Pro is a lot larger over here, so I'm keeping my options open.
In the end, I'm going to wait until black friday before making any decisions.

Re: Review: Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4)

Jairo_MC

@JaxonH @Gamer83 I completeley agree with you. Both Tomb Raider's games excell at gameplay and even if the presentation of Naughty Dogs' games is better, the replayability of Tomb Raider is awesome. It's one of my favourite games this generation along with Bayonetta 2.

Re: Persona 5 Continues to Look like the Most Stylish Game Ever Made

Jairo_MC

@JaxonH I'm actually really excited to play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, but I played Persona before and I love ATLUS' games.
I'm looking forward to playing Persona 5, but I hope they also release the PS3 version over here. I don't want to buy a PS4 just for this, but I know I will if I have to...

Re: Review: Game of Thrones: Episode 6 - The Ice Dragon (PS4)

Jairo_MC

It's the weakest Telltale game, but I played only The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.
Game of Thrones is good, but I think my familiarity with the show hurt my enjoyment of the game a bit.
I really think that my complete lack of knwoledge about Borderlands will make me enjoy Tales from the Borderlands more.
Having said that, the episodic game of the year, for me, is Life Is Strange.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Nothing to See Here, Go Back to Gamescom News

Jairo_MC

@themcnoisy Everthing that @Storytime7 is spot on. I got a New 3DS and I enjoy all the little upgrades that it has, but you can enjoy most games on the regular. The C-Stick is actually good when you get used to it. If you like the 3D effect, it's a HUGE improvment over the regular model as it's VERY stable. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is also a blast to play on the go.

Re: Feature: We Grade E3 2015's Press Conferences

Jairo_MC

@JaxonH Completely agree with you.
MS did some work to get people excited about Xbox One and have a lot of games coming soon. Rare Replay was a nostalgia bomb and it was great to know it will be coming the month of my birthday. Backwards compatibility was pretty good as there's a chance I get to experience a lot of games I didn't get to play, as I never owned a Xbox 360. Tomb Raider look incredible and I'm really excited about it.
Sony did an amazing press conference, and I think it was better than MS. However, they still didn't sell me on a PS4, but made me really excited to play Final Fantasy VII on Xbox One at a later date. Oh yeah, the best announcement for me was FF VII remake and as it's only a timed exclusive, I don't have to worry too much about getting a PS4. However, as it's a remake from Square Enix, it will be a LONG wait until it's released... The Last Guardian and Shenmue 3 were huge surprises. I never played a Team Ico game and never played a Shenmue game, but I always read about them, so it's really good to see that they'l see the light of the day. Shenmue is also far away, but at least The Last Guardian is expected for next year. The thing that lacked on Sony's conference was some announcement for some games to be released this year, as the schedule seem filled with 3rd party games that can be played on Xbox One. I'd be REALLY happy if they gave us the release dat of Person 5...
As for the Nintendo Digital Event, I thought it was underwhelming. There was no real showstopper and a LOT of the games we knew about before. It's good to know some of the release dates and that we are getting a few good games this year but it was a bit disapointing. I'm looking forward to Starfox and I liked Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam a lot, but I wanted to be surprised. I think even a confirmation of the localization of Dragon Quest VII and VIII would be better than some things that we saw. They could cut some of the repeated games and show that The Great Ace Attorney or Theathrhythm Dragon Quest would also be localizes. Some more information on Bravely Second, I don't know, something else...

Overall, I think Nintendo did a poor presentation, even though it focused on a lot of upcoming games that are very near, which is good. Sony did a great presentation, but a lot of the games are far away or are not exclusive, which is not that great and MS did a more balanced conference, showing stuff that are coming soon but also a lot of things down the line.

Re: Reaction: Sony Delivers the Greatest E3 Press Conference of All Time

Jairo_MC

I really liked the conference. It was the best of this year for sure. I didn't really watch any E3 conferences before (always get my news on the web), so I can't say it was the best of all time.
For me the highlight was definetely the announcement of FF VII remake, specially since it's only a timed exclusive.
But, even though I never played Shenmue and Team Ico's games I'm really glad that The Last Guardian was shown and that Shenmue 3 is happening. I may not want to buy a PS4 right now, but the conference delivered big.

Re: Soapbox: Why So Many E3 2015 Announcements Are Being Spoiled

Jairo_MC

Since I, as a kid, always opened my gifts earlier I really like these premature announcements.
I got all my E3 coverage on the internet, so it's good to be able to see something a bit sooner. And, as @get2sammyb pointed out, there is more time now to digest all the news.
Having said that, this must be the 3rd article that I read today regarding these early leaks, so I guess that a lot of people must be really bothered about it.

Re: April 2015 NPD: PS4 Slumps to Shock Defeat

Jairo_MC

@JaxonH I completely agree with everything you said. I just don't get why people obsess so much about sales and want all 3 consoles to succeed.
@sinalefa I recently got and Xobx One and didn't regret it at all. Sunset Overdrive is great and most multplats work really well. If I get a PS4, it'll probably be by the end of this gen, when Persona 6 will be released or I'll wait for PS5 and get all the remasters of PS4.
I also am trying to limit my purchases because I don't have time to play it all. The sole exception is the 3DS, where I get and play almost everything that's released.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 63

Jairo_MC

I have tons of plans but I will end up just playing Persona 4 Golden as I'm reaching the final months on my second playtrhough. I'll also fire up Code Name STEAM which is great after the update.
I wante to start TellTale's Game of Thrones before the premiere tomorrow, but I think it's a lost cause, as I also want to watch more of Daredevil.

Re: Talking Point: What One Game Do You Always Come Back To?

Jairo_MC

I always go back to The World Ends With You. Once a year i replay it. Other games that I go back to are: Persona 4 Golden, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid (original and Twin Snakes) and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
Some games that I go back from time to time are Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country and Chrono Trigger.
Recently, I play some songs of Theathrythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call every week because it's very addictive and some courses from Mario Kart 8 and some stages from Bayonetta 2.

Re: Review: Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (PlayStation 4)

Jairo_MC

Just finished it this weekend and I loved it. The review is pretty spot on, like @Gamer83 said.
I played The Struggle too and it was great but I didn't have much patience for Little Miss...
The story got me hooked and the episode format was great being just one week apart.

Re: God of War III Brings the Brand's Best Boss Fight to PS4 in July

Jairo_MC

@tulaib_100 To be fair some of the games you listed haven't been relased too... Also, some of them had a disastrous release (DriveClub) or had lukewarm reception (Knack and The Order).
This generation, so far, haven't been great, but I think that MS and Nintendo are doing more in the software department while Sony has a killer marketing, which makes its system sell better.
