It actually happened lol. That's a win in my book. They didn't have to do it. More time to try out different weapons against Rey Dau and Arkveld before release
Welp psn still being down I can't play the MH Wilds beta. Or any of my gachas which is pain. I got a month pass for ZZZ and couldn't claim the polys for it so that really sucks
In the meantime I have zero clue what offline single player game I want to really get into as I've sorta been burnt out by gaming I think. Played a little Animal Well, it's decent fun. Got a little further into Sonic Frontiers. I downloaded Blood Omen 2 for nostalgia so maybe I'll replay it a little more. And I started the Klonoa Phantom Reverie series. Nothing is really sticking with me, not because I don't enjoy the games tho
It's so weird how they can add 2 new monsters to the beta but they can't give us a quick preview of how updated the performance is on consoles. But considering I didn't have much problems at all with the 1st beta. Im not too worried
And once I get my pc I'm glad, going by the specs, I'll likely be able to run it with few issues too
Definitely several weeks. I think at most, the longest one has taken me is 2-3 months. But man when you get sucked into a world that big it's absolutely amazing. I'll never forget and regret the hours I put into Witcher 3. And every now and then I get that feeling of wanting to replay but the backlog scares me away lol
Probably cause they still own it and can't be letting people play it for free
Besides I find it rather funny that they've practically ported all their western games under the sun to pc. But have managed to keep all their Japanese ones so close to their chests for whatever reason lol
Welp end of an era. The only true MS series I want and would buy is Halo so ill wait patiently for those. Well maybe the Gears games too, I've never played one but hear good things
I just bought Pacman lol. Not that I mind, I'd rather "own" it but yea what timing. I was craving some more 3d platforming and I remembered how much I loved the 2nd game so I might as well try out the remake of the 1st one. Looking forward to it
Almost like it isn't a souls game. Cool, the devs wanted to add difficulty options so they should be allowed. Much like fromsoft should be allowed to not want to add those options
They can barely get it out on the switch as it is ðŸ˜. But this would be very cool. Maybe they could also port the 1st game? I've been meaning to play it, but at the rate in which I play my 3ds, who knows when I'll get to it
He has said this over and over and over and over. There are hundreds of articles and posts of him saying this every other day. Is this the only question they ever have for the guy
The ninty "we don't get into console wars like ps and xbox" fans are getting uppity again lol
I wouldn't say it's better, but it is absolutely on par with every 3d Mario game. It feels amazing to move around and make use of the mechanics to get around the gorgeous fun levels. And the thing is they managed it with only 3 game. With the first game alone they already accomplished something special considering it was a vr game. The 2nd game was literally just a tech demo and still managed to be as fun as a full Mario game. And their first full fledged game is one to remember. I can't wait to see what they do in a sequel to a full fledged game
I watched gameplay and it's literally just a card game. Most indies nowadays just consist of card games, rogue likes and metroidvanias of some kind. The last one I played that I thought was really fun was Dave the diver and apparently it had a bit of an argument on whether it was actually an indie or not lol
Man imma be furious if this leads to getting rid of the gacha system because idiots don't know how to watch over their kids. They already made shooters completely worse by getting rid of lootboxes and instead locking every piece of cool cosmetic behind absurd prices
Next thing you know. We'll have to pay $15 for every character that comes out cause people are stupid
Depends on if it ends up being a generational game that I'll be playing for ages. I know gta5 was technically that and I really enjoyed what I played of it on a bloody ps3 no less. But eh. And I often see it on sale for $15 so maybe I'll wait for a sale or something
I literally remember this being one of the first things Miyazaki said about bloodborne. It would be very respectful of them to respect his wishes but apparently he's saying differently now tho so lol
The year of jrpg remasters for me. My Ys oath in felghana copy came yesterday. Gonna pick up Tales of Grace soon. Then the Suikoden and Lunar remasters when they're out. Can't wait
Uhm despite being covered up almost completely, Evelyn's design is absolutely insane. Perfect character to crossover with nikke lol. The gachas have been treating me nicely of late so I hope it continues cause I really want Astra, Evelyn and her sig
Also is that really all vampire survivor is? A bullet hell mini game. I guess that's why it's 5 bucks but the way people rave on about it. I'm a little more excited for that fall guys mini game with the bangboos
I keep it on but delete them all every time so I should really just keep it off. 80% of them are clips of a loading screen or me going thru a menu. They're not that cool lol
@PorkChopExpress the license is part of it. Rivals would've died immediately in your scenario because of the fact that it was the concord cast. That's part of why concord itself died immediately in the first place. Because it had the concord cast lol
Sure but they have to do it the right way. They should be seriously taking notes from these asian studios if they really want a higher chance at getting a hit
Not them announcing the 50 series just as I was about to get a 4070. Tbh I'm still gonna get it cause I'm not a fan of the ai use. Definitely something to hold off on until it improves drastically
This game is definitely one of the first ones I'm gonna fiddle around with
I thought the flash was a good film so that's slightly reassuring but what's not is that I didn't even know this was getting a movie and its been 10 yrs and nothing ðŸ˜
Lol some of the reactions to this prediction when there was another even more ridiculous one before that saying there's only room for 1 other console, besides Nintendo, next gen
Yea I do. It's not amazing but I'm also not gonna complain when I'm making some money back. Managed to make $15 back so far. Really helps for when i want a game that's on sale or a monthly pass for one of my many gachas lol
I remember when people thought Xboxs future was bright for potentially having this as an upcoming exclusive when we might see the next generation consoles before we ever even see gameplay of this
Yep I'm so glad there's a skip feature even for the smallest dialog. I've been zooming past the story cause I just don't care for it but now I've been having a lot more fun going out and exploring and fighting. Idk if I can say I'm truly happy tho. Juggling 5 gachas is kinda torture even if I did it to myself
I really need to get to the 3rd one eventually someday but I thought Bayo looked ridiculous there. I loved the 1st one but the 2nd one was decent to good. The only thing I preferred about it was the slightly more varied locations. 1 was better in almost every other way
It's not grabbing me like I thought but I said the same about zzz before it became the one I most look forward to logging into every day. So I'll keep going for now but I really do not like the character designs all that much lol
I've never seen so much talk about specs and fps and resolution and how it's gonna play all the big games now while simultaneously boasting about how Ninty fans don't care about that stuff or power
I'd be surprised if the thing comes close to a steam deck and if it were to come to it or be even better than it, then the price is not gonna be cheap. And at that point it would still just be better getting a pc handheld
It snubbed FF7 Rebirth but if Rebirth had been no.1, it would've snubbed Astro Bot. What a dilemma...
But still absolutely deserved. Many times I actually had to stop myself from playing any further cause I didn't want to finish the game right away. I wanted it to keep being part of my weeks, fill it with fun joyful moments. Please make a sequel soon. The wait for another one since the Playroom tech demo was pain
@get2sammyb I'm super interested where the story goes from here. But everyone coming together for that finale was amazing. I just wish the voice acting scene was in a better shape cause it's a shame to see the amazing cutscenes without voiced lines
@Jimmer-jammer my point wasn't that there's nothing to talk about but that there's little to no talk about the game actually going around. I'm a huge jrpg and atlus fan so it's not like the circles I choose to visit wouldn't love the kind of game that it is but I just don't see it. I definitely hope I can get into it more further along
@Logonogo that is a bit of a shame. But I plan to play it soon and I just hope it's a close enough of an experience to p5
Am I the only one that noticed how very little anyone actually talks about this game? Any time its brought up its only to say that its an amazing game but never any like story or character discussions or anything
Gonna try to play it soon. While I was enjoying the demo I didn't love it enough to finish it and want more like I did with most other prologue demos. It's a really ugly game especially when you compare it to SMTV Vengeance or even P5. The story so far while interesting was incredibly predictable and the writing was so bland. But that's just demo impressions. And despite that I was still actually enjoying parts of the demo so I'm hoping it's just a meh start to an amazing 100+ hrs game
Both pictures look fine, she's literally doing an angry battle face in the 1st pic. But these annoying people that have latched onto stellar blade and eve have gotta be some of the worst. I feel bad for the stellar blade twitter account always having to deal with them
There's just nothing fun or satisfying about playing and winning against bots. The point of a competitive mp shooter is that you want to come out on top against other real people. I didn't realize they did this with quick play so that's a shame. But if I choose comp they make it console players only. I'd rather play with all players regardless of how much of an advantage pc players have
This list is closest to my own you'd just need Rebirth instead of Infinite Wealth. But those 2 gachas have been incredibly fun to play even if it's only been like a month for Infinity Nikki
And a part of me also still says I prefer Star Rail. But I can't lie I've been having the most fun with ZZZ out of the three hoyo games on ps. If they can just make exploration better, which they're constantly improving, it'd be my favorite. And having paid attention to the story this last part for once, its way less of a word salad than genshin and star rail combined lol
@PuppetMaster I can't agree. 15 has a masterpiece of a soundtrack with each piece of music fitting wherever it was put in the game. Every piece of combat music made fights so cool and tense. The summons theme made them feel very grand and intense like they're supposed to. The dungeon music that was eerie and dark especially since most of them were tombs and caves. And the song when you enter Altissia. I could go on but I think Shimomura and co. did an amazing job with FF15's soundtrack. It helped elevate the game a lot

Both have phenomenal soundtracks tho, so idk how much Nomura's way affects their games outside of maybe everyones' mental well being lol

Re: Nomura Known as 'Demon King of Retakes' During Final Fantasy 7 Dev
@PuppetMaster I can't agree. 15 has a masterpiece of a soundtrack with each piece of music fitting wherever it was put in the game. Every piece of combat music made fights so cool and tense. The summons theme made them feel very grand and intense like they're supposed to. The dungeon music that was eerie and dark especially since most of them were tombs and caves. And the song when you enter Altissia. I could go on but I think Shimomura and co. did an amazing job with FF15's soundtrack. It helped elevate the game a lot
Re: Nomura Known as 'Demon King of Retakes' During Final Fantasy 7 Dev
I remember Yoko Shimomura saying something similar. That working with Nomura meant constantly having to redo pieces of music while with Tabata on FF15, he'd mostly like the initial pieces of music she would show him and then go from there. Both have phenomenal soundtracks tho, so idk how much Nomura's way affects their games outside of maybe everyones' mental well being lol
Re: Game of the Year: #4 - Stellar Blade
Absolutely worthy of the spot, it's a great game. But not better than Rebirth, so it's crazy to see it that much higher than it
