The only game that it's doing it for me, not counting hoyo cause ZZZ has sorta been doing it since it came out and genshin did it with natlans release, is SMTV Vengeance. A random pic of nahobeeho and nahobino and its talking about its 88 metacritic score
I'm pretty sure most Asian flavored games are safe from showing you some ytube bums video on the games page
@ztpayne7 lol it's actually the music that I'm really loving from the game especially the battle theme, at least the one you get for striking 1st. But yea, idk. They kinda promoted it to be some kind of hybrid action/turn based game but you really only use the action part to start a turn-based fight with an advantage. Which is fairly normal these days lol. And that's fine, but actually hitting things felt kinda clunky. And visually, it's not too appealing to look at 😅. A lot of jaggies and theres like particles constantly on the screen that make it look weird. I honestly think soul hackers 2 looks a lot nicer. I'm still overall enjoying it but it wasn't what I was hoping for
I might finish the prologue for Metaphor. Tbh it's pretty interesting so far but it's not clicking for me the way persona and smt do. It feels and looks a lot worse than either of the 2. But it's only the prologue I'm super curious to see where this game goes
And I think I might finally try Death Stranding. I'm hoping it lives up to the hype of that sequel trailer! And the memes 😂
I think I'd rather way for the real anime gta in project mugen tbh. This doesn't look that bad but I just couldn't get into tower of fantasy at all. So I'm not really hyped for this knowing the devs
I had the emulated versions all ready to play but I'm definitely buying this instead and playing it this way. I've been meaning to for the longest time
@RubyCarbuncle I've actually never played ark 😅. I've been meaning to try it some day tho. I'm a lot more interested in that game than palworld despite how janky it looks. But if palworld is ark with pokemon like monsters then it could be fun
Can't have enough astro bot. Please bring more content. I wonder what the other 8 VIP bots are tho. They didn't seem to show any hints of them. Hopefully SE bots
Omg the lunar remasters alone made my day man holy. But astro bot dlc and stellar blade x nier, I'm so excited for too. And I'll be able to play my ps3 copy of Dino crisis on ps5 now. MH Wilds looking even more stunning. A lot better than I had anticipated
This is why I never understood why that one ninty direct which was basically a lvl 5 direct was considered good lol
I still have a lot of respect for these devs but most of the games they showed might as well have just been cinematic teasers. Basically all of them got hit with big delays. I'm pretty sure i read they were at a point of bankruptcy too, it was pretty obvious these games were going the way of Lost Soul Aside
I wanna have hope that because it's TGS season it'll be Japanese centric but knowing HZD and Days Gone remasters are likely gonna take slots. I'd rather go in thinking I'm going to be utterly disappointed again
I tried the plucky squire but I just can't get into it. I'm on chapter 4 and the idea of jumping between 2d and 3d seemed really neat but it's just really uninteresting rn
If I can't muster up the will to continue it I'll be going thru KH Memory of Melody. I'm loving it so far but that's expected. SE games have fantastic music to play rhythm games with. And I'm also playing DQ Heroes 1. Fun musou so far
@Cloud39472 in this particular case, I think it does include the FF exclusives this time but not to the extent that they're the big reasons for this statement like a lot of these articles are making it seem like. When for all we know the other games probably did so bad that not even FF could help save SEs HD segment from falling profits. But I'm inclined to agree somewhat with the comment below mine in that it just shows how far PS has fallen. Altho in general tbh. I think Sony actively hurting the PS brand is to blame for, not just FF but plenty of others games too, not doing as amazing as they could have
Oh boy I bet twitter is a minefield rn but I haven't dared check lol. Once again, I've never seen such scrutiny over any game or series quite like FF in recent years, it's insane
The thing is. They don't even say it's the FF exclusives. They're talking about their HD games segment and that includes a lot more than just FF
@thefourfoldroot1 If I do manage to get to them, I was thinking of builders 1 and heroes 1. Since the sequels for both seem more readily available to buy
@Grumblevolcano gives me like a few months to play thru all my favorite songs then and see the ending. Maybe even get the platinum if its easy to do 😭
Having had plus for almost a year now. I think I don't like having that looming shadow of games being cut and in general of being on a time limit until the sub passes, i would rather just buy these and feel better knowing they're rotting in my backlog instead😅
I already downloaded like 4 games to try. I might squeeze in 1 of the DQ spin offs. But I also think I'm getting started on KH melody of memories since SE games seem to be leaving by series. KH is all that's left i think
I think i only need the bird levels left but it's been a complete blast the whole way thru so far so easy 10. The only complaints might be that it needs a little more enemy variety and difficulty. The challenge levels they do have tho are so fun, haven't felt any of them to be unfair. Music is fantastic. Every area is fun to run around in and explore. Most bosses have been really fun to fight. And ofc the crossover of multiple 1st and 3rd party ips puts a smile on my face. I only wish they were able to get Square Enix ips too
I know it'd be difficult to achieve but it'd be so amazing if they could also get the rights to use different ips' universes to create levels along with their bots too. The ones that are in the game have been some of my favorites
@get2sammyb she does tbh. Only reason I'm going for Ceasar is cause I like how she looks more lol. And if I read the leaks correctly and she doesn't get nerfed, she'll be a very op support
Is it maybe to start rolling out the free dlc bots and levels soon? I don't want this game to end so more content before i reach the end would be great 😩
Once again, I thought the point of propping the game up was that you don't need to make a billion dollar budget game and in turn expect it to sell a billion copies to make up for the budget. Altho 12k is definitely far lower than expected
The hardware sales are the real shocker, if it stays that low for weeks, Sony literally just killed themselves and for what. It's crazy how many horrible decisions they're making and they still are not saying a word about it. I would've expected some kind of back track and apology and promise to do better by now. But they're just doubling down and going all in on killing Playstation lol
At the very least it wouldn't be a hard no. But I never bought the 4 pro and was perfectly content with how most games ran. This time around tho, I am a little concerned with how certain games would run on a base ps5 like mh wilds. I'm almost certainly gonna be playing it day 1 regardless but if there was a chance to snag a pro and games actually do run better on it. Then I'd take the chance if the price was way lower
I had to switch my build to the greatshield almost everyone used which made me sad but at the same time it was kinda fun playing the game in a completely different way the last hour or so it took to beat this monster
Scarlet aeonia also helps immensely if you can manage to hit him with it
I don't think any of these peoples' redesigns are good and they look just as awful. Like the concord designs are just fundamentally bad that there's nothing you can do to make them good. Just make new better characters
I'm glad you mentioned the character designs because that is very true in today's landscape. Concords art style, aesthetic or whatever its called, does not make me want to engage with this ip at all. I merely tried the beta cause it was free. And 2 matches was more than enough
I was waiting for this collection to finally play the ds castlevanias so hyped. Don't know what to buy 1st rn this or the monster hunter stories games 🥹

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Reveals Its February 2025 Release Date on PS5

I kinda wanna buy it out of spite but if they lose, the money will just go to Nintendo 😝

Re: Astro Bot's Free DLC Adds Speedrun Levels, New VIP Bots in Fall 2024

And while I still have the plus sub active, I kinda want to start Returnal so I might do that
