What's sad is outside of FF7 Rebirth, I'd wager Suicide Squad will sell more copies than any of the other games on the list. Yet it still will be a huge financial flop.
@BusyOlf it did. The improved visuals are definitely nice. Also includes the use of the touch controllers instead of the dual sense (so no longer using both hands awkward grabbing object), along with haptics in the headset.
@WaveBoy Funny you say that as I literally just finished Moss 2 moments ago. Absolute masterpiece. Actually spent this past week cleaning up some VR titles I picked up at launch but didn't start or finish. I started Moss 2 at launch but didn't want to be distracted with other games. So restarted it last week and just finished now.
Added this to my wishlist at PSVR2 launch to pick up on a sale (base price is pretty high). I may try this out.
Also I've been enjoying the PSVR2 since launch. Honestly my least favorite game so far was actually Horizon Call of the Mountain. So if Sony supporting the system means more mediocre games like that, I'm good. I'll keep playing third party stuff.
Sea of Stars was one of my most anticipated games going into the year. Getting it for free with PS+ at launch is incredible. Still will probably pick it up on a sale down the line
Tremendous accomplishment. Against all odds Baldurs Gate 3 surpasses...something called Goose Goose Duck apparently. I'm so gleefully ignorant to PC gaming.
Hands down one of the greatest games of all time. Playstation really wants to make game trials a thing. Feels weird to do that for a 7 year old game that's constantly on sale for like $10.
There really should be more anti scalping laws. With the advent of bots it's absurd this is a business people can run that provide negative benefit to society.
Best game since Rayman and Child of Light. Oh well, like most bloated corpos they just care about franchises that make ALL the money, not just some of the money.
@Hida they mention this in their review of the game, but jumping into this game without experiencing the others is not advisable. This is the 10th game in the series. While I still haven't played the first 3 games, the Sky trilogy, I would say you should experience the story as close to the start as possible.
However that's obviously daunting to play 6 JRPGs in preparation to this. The bare minimum would be to play both Cold Steel 3 and 4. You get introduced to most characters in those games and while you may miss some of the finer details, it's pretty easy to catch up through googling characters and events they you don't understand.
Gave it a 9 as it continues the excellent high bar the series had set for itself. Combat is second to none when it comes to turn based JRPGs, the dialogue is well written as always, and the story is surprisingly engaging for what essentially is a giant interlude to the next arc of the story.
Complaints are the usual cringe we unfortunately have to deal with in these games. Also some of the voice acting is a real head scratcher (Why does KeA sound like an adult?)
They need to overhaul the entire itemization in my opinion. Sorry if I'm not excited for a 2.7% increase to my lightning damage of close enemies who are vulnerable only on a Wednesday.
Maybe if it was a complete package like people were asking combining the best parts of FES and P3P. But I'll wait until they come out with Persona 3 Sapphire in a couple years.
Super excited for this. While having so many playable characters is annoying and a bit of a chore arranging their quartz and equipment, I love that they have so many characters that fans gravitate to. I'm even excited to see cameos from random Thor's students and Crossbell citizens throughout this game.
I don't understand how they keep up with their workload. Small team that releases a giant 50+ hour game every year. Truly amazing how efficient they are.
Some guy with two first names and a cool leather jacket told me this update will have 16 times the detail! Not sure what that meant but he would never lie to me.
Glad I waited on this. Was tempted as a few of the early reviews gave it around an 8/10. But between the price tag and amount of competition around it, I'm happy to wait until is patched and pick it up on a sale for probably 1/3rd of the price
Takes a lot of confidence to release your game the same day as FFXVI. One could say it's too much confidence. Excessive confidence/pride even. I feel like there's a word for that.
It's only $20 more for an entire year. I never understood the hate premium gets. Also easy for me since I was already subbed to PS Now, so it just carried me over with the same price
When every game needed to be bigger and bigger we of course come to this predicament. Honestly if God of War Ragnarok (as an example) was half as long I probably would have enjoyed it more.
I gave it an 8. Despite my numerous complaints about level scaling, gear itemization, online only etc, the fact is I've put in over 30 hours within a week. So 8 it is!
That was so weird. I had to rewind to reread their indefinite delay announcement at the end. Like why not wait until you're comfortable with a release window until you reveal the game again.
Diablo and FFXVI for me. Park Beyond as well if it reviews well. Then Trails into reverie, Everspace 2, Sea of Stars, Baldurs Gate 3.....gonna be a busy summer.
Solid month. Trek to Yomi is good, and did want to try Jurassic Park Evo 2 (I didn't like the first). Plus a gambling simulator is offered as the third game as well. I'll take it.

Re: Moss Developer Goes Live Service in Glassbreakers, a Multiplayer VR Title
Moss and Moss 2 are incredible. I want to keep supporting them but I'm not into competitive multiplayer game unfortunately.
Re: Sea of Stars (PS5) - PS Plus Extra's Retro-Inspired RPG Is the Whole Package
@Sequel lol I will.
Re: Sea of Stars (PS5) - PS Plus Extra's Retro-Inspired RPG Is the Whole Package
Been one of my most anticipated games.of the year. At 35 hours doubtful I can finish before Baldurs Gate though.
Re: Mini Review: Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate (PS5) - Roguelike Chess Is a Neat Novelty
This looks interesting. I'm all for unique concepts like this. Will add to my wishlist.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Gameplay Will Blast Its Way into Gamescom Opening Night Live
Excited for this. Planning on starting a whole new save with the 2.0 update as well.

Re: Red Dead Redemption Out on PS4 This Month, Not a Remaster
@nhSnork I just meant we could play on PS5. Only point of this port so we don't have to dust off our PS3.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Out on PS4 This Month, Not a Remaster
This probably started as a Nintendo switch port. Having it on PS4 so we can play on modern consoles is just a bonus.
Also with all the games releasing from now until early next year I'm quite comfortable waiting for a sale.
Re: Square Enix Bafflingly Backtracks on Final Fantasy 16 Sales, Blames 'Slow' PS5 Adoption
Corpos are never satisfied. Even if they have all the money in the world they would complain about stagnated profits.
Re: University Tycoon Two Point Campus Prescribes a Medical School Expansion
Can't wait for this. Both Hospital and Campus are top notch management sims.
Re: Twisted Metal Surpasses All Expectations on Rotten Tomatoes
I'm not sure what's a bigger surprise. That Twisted Metal is good, or the fact that people actually subscribe to Peacock.
Re: PS Plus Premium Adds Four-Hour Trial for One of the Best RPGs Ever Made

Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
I was gonna put Zidane, but just realized I never knew his last name. So feel like that disqualifies that vote from me.
Re: Rumour: Immortals Fenyx Rising Sequel Canned by Ubisoft

Re: Destruction AllStars Dev Gobbled Up by Tencent Subsidiary
What's funny is if Destruction All Stars ended up being successful, I'd suspect that Sony would already have purchased them last year.

60fps Bloodborne will be the Half Life 3 of this generation. Constantly teased and rumored, but never come to fruition.

Re: Breaking: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will Have a Story
I actually prefer this vague teasing of the game compared to them downright spoiling the game in their FF7R trailers.
