Re: Game of the Year: Sammy's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024

@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

Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Metaphor: ReFantazio

@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

Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Metaphor: ReFantazio

Judal27

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

Re: Conspiratorial Marvel Rivals Report Suggests Bots in Quickplay Always Part of the Plan

Judal27

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

Re: Game of the Year: Sammy's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024

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

Re: Nomura Known as 'Demon King of Retakes' During Final Fantasy 7 Dev

Judal27

@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

Judal27

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: Best PS5 Art Direction of 2024

Judal27

I was gonna go for rebirth or elden ring dlc. But then I remembered that Zenless Zone Zero is still a full on game. Released this year. And so that takes it for me. Easily oozes style. The character designs, both 3d models and the artstyle, are some of the best I've ever seen. And the animations are top tier

Re: Industry Analyst Argues Either Sony or Microsoft Will Need to Exit the Console Market

Judal27

Geez it's like they forget ninty has had flops just as bad as MS or Sony with the ps3 with their gamecube and wii u. And the only reason they were able to keep chugging on is because of their handheld side. Now that they've merged both. If their future consoles were to flop, theyd no longer have a successful handheld line to fall back on. And their handhelds are not immune either considering the 3ds went thru similar controversies and levels of success that the ps3 did

Anyway between ps and xbox I think it's obvious who's the one staying for now. And as much as I largely prefer ps and will likely never game on Xbox ever again. I wouldn't want to see it go. I just wish ms would stop buying up companies lol

Re: Zenless Zone Zero Dev Fixes Fading Upskirts in Under 24 Hours

Judal27

Does the game update itself when it's a really small change? I don't remember ever downloading it

Anyway, it had to have been a bug. When does hoyo ever uncensor their games lol. What an even bigger nothing burger. Welp back to grinding polys for Astra and Evelyn. I just got Miyabis engine too

Re: Zenless Zone Zero Fans Irate They Can No Longer Peek At Their Waifu's Panties on PS5

Judal27

It doesn't just have a more adult vibe, I'm pretty sure it has a higher age rating than the other 2 so ofc people are angry. They had already toned down the jiggle (mostly for nicole cause holy Ceasar lol), what's the point of going even further this far out at launch?

That being said I honestly didn't notice at all until people were complaining. Probably cause the fanservice for my favorite is in the legs lmao

Re: Poll: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2025?

Judal27

Monster Hunter is the big one for me. And now that I've played Death Stranding and loved it. DS2 is my next most anticipated. The rest on that list are just remasters lol. Lunar, Suikoden and Tales of Graces

I like gta well enough but they've never been my favorite games

Re: Feature: The Game Awards 2024's Best Announcement, As Voted By You

Judal27

I'm unbelievably hyped for project century despite having only played 1 game from the studio ever lol. Witcher 4 wasn't exactly a new announcement but it was nice to see a trailer for it. It was actually a really well put trailer

And character design aside, intergalactic was actually pretty interesting. The dialogue between the 2 characters we saw never felt... how should I put it. Like hr was in the room? And ending it with the clash against the scary looking robot was nice

Re: Naughty Dog Turns Off Intergalactic PS5 Trailer's Comments As Discourse Turns Nasty

Judal27

They had them off from the start. They knew what they were getting into lol. I hate to be lumped in with those cringy people that wont shut up about games like concord and DA veilguard but her design is just not appealing. The thing is she would probably be far more well received if she actually looked like furiosa and had her personality. Furiosa screams bounty hunter desperate enough to go to a dangerous planet to catch some guy. But jordan doesn't really, at least to me

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Deserved Astro Bot's Game of the Year Award, Says Game Science CEO

Judal27

That has to be translated poorly. But if it's not... to think I was actually really excited to play this back when it was vaporware

But apart from the fact that the final product just doesn't look as interesting as it did before release, all the noise surrounding the game also managed to turn me off from ever playing it. And that usually never gets to me. It didn't for stellar blade. This statement just cemented it further

Unless i can get it for like 10 bucks lol

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Year 2024

Judal27

It was a tough choice but ultimately had to cut off SMTV to fit in infinity nikki and zzz. FF7 Rebirth has been completely disrespected this award season so I'm putting it in 1st place

2. Astro Bot, 3. Stellar Blade, 4. ZZZ, 5. Infinity Nikki

Re: Elden Ring: Nightreign Explained, Can Be Played in Single Player and Offline

Judal27

Eh this doesn't sound like a good enough game on its own unless it's packed with content. I know it says in a randomly shuffled limgrave but hopefully that's not the only area. And hope there's a good balance of new mobs and what I already fought thousands of time in elder ring and its dlc

If there was ever a need for an open beta, it's for this

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2024?

Judal27

Very good show. So many games I'm interested in but too much to list. It's definitely way too long tho. But it's been the best one yet aside from the absolute FF7 Rebirth snubbing. How do you give it so many nominations only for it to win 1 of them 😭

Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024?

Judal27

I thought Rebirth would be an instalock for it but every other award show or media outlet is hell bent on snubbing Rebirth for the grand prize so now idk. I still hope astro or rebirth take it but it's probably gonna be wukong or metaphor. Of which I think neither deserve it

At the very least, that goty orchestra at the end is probably gonna be killer with astro, rebirth, elden ring, and metaphor music in it

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 558

Judal27

Still working thru Digimon Survive. There are times when it can be really slow. But the characters especially the Digimon themselves make it worthwhile to get invested in the story. The combat is extremely easy and simple still but it's fun enough to play to progress the story. Recruiting Digimon is pure torture tho way worse than in SMT

Gonna keep exploring the world in Infinity Nikki. It's so fun I couldn't stop playing lol. The gacha also seems pretty generous. I've gotten multiple 5 star pieces of outfits already

Re: This Horizon Rip-Off Has to Be One of the Most Blatant Copycat Games Ever

Judal27

@bazchillin I've seen comparison vids too. A lot of what they show are small trivial things that Ninty has no claims on. They didn't invent going down water slides lol. Or shooting guns. Flying on an interactive ps5 controller as a quick intro to a level is not the same as Kirby riding a warp star to a level in what seems to be purely a cutscene, etc
