I played quite a bit of this on gamepass when it released but fell off in the 2nd act. Very unique experience and I do plan on playing (and hopefully sticking with it) this after Rebirth at some point.
I bought the first DLC but haven't played it yet. Honestly I'm now probably waiting for the PS5 Pro and hoping the game runs at a stable frame rate on the new hardware before I do my FFM run with the DLC
Beyond disappointed. The lack of support for not just new games, but not even bothering to port over Astrobot, blood and truth, Wipeout etc is truly unforgivable. Bought a Quest 3 at launch while my psvr 2 collects dust.
@mariomaster96 they always announced the staggered release schedule of the demo, and the performance mode patch is to assure players that the demo was on a far earlier build. For those old enough this is nothing compared to the Episode Duscae demo for FF15 that the team spent months patching instead of making the actual game.
Ouch this is a rough month of losing games. Tchia and Haven I both really wanted to play even a few others I wanted to try out. Unfortunately not going to happen as I'm already going to struggle finishing Infinite Wealth before Rebirth.
@SoulChimera they have already fixed the trophy issue apparently. It was announced on Twitter a few weeks ago. However they are waiting on a larger update to patch it in. Hoping this is the one.
As for the challenge modes I think I did 2 time ones and 3 water ones. The water ones are far easier, but need to be very meticulous. Quickly tap R2 with a swipe of the thumb stick is the move to use. Can easily get gold with less than half the water needed.
Love the free DLCs to this game. I'm curious if this is the update they are patching the trophies with as well. Would be nice to finally be able to get my platinum on this game I finished almost 2 months ago.
@breakneck well the good thing with uncapped is on a PS5 pro or ps6 it should run at 60fps (unlike games like Bloodborne that are capped at 30fps). Either way stable 60fps is far better visually than 4k unstable 30ish.
@Loamy did they call Calisto Protocol a AAAA game too? Only other example I know of is the Xbox studio The Initiative were called a AAAA studio (who are making the Perfect Dark remake)
If every screen is an Xbox, they really need to invest on more cloud servers. Feels like anytime I try to boot up a game on x cloud there's a 15 minute wait now.
I still think Embracer is a giant money laundering scheme. In no way was any of this investment we've heard of over the past several years going to be financially viable.
What year is it? We are still blaming a game being single player and a shooter for its failure? Pretty sure the best selling games last year were mainly single player. Maybe it's because it was a full priced game from a no name studio with one of the most generic names I've ever heard of.
Solid game. 3rd best Persona 3 release behind FES and Portable. Enjoy the updated visuals and voice acting. However it does feel like it's missing it's own identity with its Persona 5ish presentation.
Great achievement. I'm curious what this means in the long term strategy for Sony. Have to figure there's already boardroom discussions about how much this success is attributed to being day and date on PC vs it being a coop shooter that many gamers prefer to play on Steam with a mouse and keyboard.
Well as Perfect Dark remake, the only other AAAA game we know about, has been in development hell for years, this seems like a perfect moniker for Skull & Bones as well.
Grim Fandango is one of my favorites of all time. Hope the Monkey Island remakes on PS3 gets ported over. Those were so well done, and now just stranded on the old hardware.
Ooooow, seafood soup! I had no clue this game came out so soon. Love the unique art style and it's definitely been on my radar since it was revealed. Added to my wishlist!
Absolutely loving the game. My only two complaints is Yong as Kiryu is as bad as we all thought (but Kanji Tang as Ichiban makes up for it and why I keep on English). Also the impatient dialogue is absolutely absurd. All my party constantly telling me to hurry up, even when it's not my turn. But right now it's definitely a lock to be one of my favorite games this year (and Dondoko Island is my favorite Animal Crossing game ever as well)
They saw too many people like me who are just planning on waiting for the actual definitive version of the game. They needed to make a statement about it.
I'll be the contrarian in here and admit I'm sad the sequel isn't a twin stick shooter. Coop 3rd person shooters are a dime a dozen, but we haven't had a great twin stick shooter in quite some time.
As I just played through p3p last year twice, I'm gonna wait on this. Also I enjoyed FeMC far more so still holding out hope she's included in a future update
Worth every gig. Spending this month dodging Rebirth spoilers, while getting 5 stars on Dondoko Island. I keep forgetting there's a whole JRPG called Infinite Wealth in this Animal Crossing clone as well.
Been itching for another management sim game since two point campus and planet coaster. Perfect timing as I should hopefully be done with Rebirth by then.
One useless suit replaces another. Get paid millions of dollars to babysit the actual creatives. Execs in creative fields just seem so pointless to me.
That is such a bummer. Not just for those laid off, but Deus Ex is a franchise I really want to get into. Just not a good place to start on modern consoles.
Well deserved. Put about 15 hours in and loving it so far. Only minor complaints being Kiryu's English VA and the constant impatient dialogue from companions in battle (even when it's not my turn).

Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
@OmegaStriver sounds like we just have a vastly different taste in games...and that's just fine
Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
Will be picking this and Hi Fi rush up for sure at launch. Phenomenal games.
Re: Xbox Game Hi-Fi Rush Announced for PS5, Out Next Month
Woooo! My game of the year last year. Couldn't be more excited to get this on team blue.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Unlikely to Be Capcom's Last $70 Game
No 60fps no $60....er $70. Doesn't have the same ring to it anymore.

Such a shame for the world's first AAAA game.

Re: Rumour: Astro Bot Will Return for Another PS5 Rescue Mission This Year
If this isn't at least VR 2 compatible the PSVR2 is truly dead...if it isn't already.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Will Have an Uncapped Frame Rate on PS5
So I'll wait until the PS5 pro to play then....got it.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 Demo Update Will Improve Performance Mode Next Week
It ran at a stable 60 which is all I care about (unlike FF16).

Re: Pentiment Pegged for PS5 Amid Ongoing Xbox Strategy Shift Rumours
Thursday can't come fast enough. Pentiment and HiFi Rush are my two favorite games on Xbox by a mile. Don't get games like that from AAA devs anymore.
Re: Xbox's Multiplatform Plans to Be Revealed on Thursday
Please just let me replay Hi Fi Rush on PlayStation before Rebirth drops.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Helldivers 2?
Loved the first Helldivers, but still waiting on reviews. No reviews no buy!
Re: Recent Steam Concurrent Player Data Suggests Japanese Games Are Thriving
Good games are good games no matter their origin. Between Infinite Wealth and Rebirth I'm going to be quite busy the first half of the year.
Re: Remastered LucasArts Adventure Games Looking Likely for Release on PS5

Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Feels Like a Strong Step Forward from Remake
"nostalgic familiarity with renewed uncertainty". Couldn't have put my feeling better with this remake series.
Re: Looks Like Netflix Exclusive Valiant Hearts Sequel Is Coming Home to PS4
