Too soon! Persona 4 Golden still holds up really well. I'm also a bit afraid they might lose the David Lynch atmosphere if they make it too modern and flashy.
I'll never understand why people get so upset about things they're not the target audience for. No one is forcing us to buy things we don't want to buy, or watch things we don't want to watch.
Well clearly Sony has misjudged the situation, since so many people are trying to get their hands on a drive.
I think people are going to regret having relied on streaming and digital licenses once the bubble bursts, and their nostalgia is compelling them to play old games.
@Olmaz people who leave twitter say they do so because of the racism, homophobia, and nazi-posts. Are you suggesting that these are qualities of the political right?
It doesn't even need to be a remaster, I'd settle for a port with a resolution boost. As long as it still has the orchestrated music and Yangus' beautiful voice.
It was never appropriate, that's why it's in a game full of gore and violence. They should have just also started awarding points for man-butts and bulges.
What? The game with gods and aliens and anachronistic technologies has some historical inaccuracies??
It's not like this is a serious documentary about how pyramids must be extraterrestrial because no way could multiple humans figure out that triangles don't fall over.
I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that a lot of the XBOX exclusives have the same, somewhat limited target audience; lots of testosterone and explosion filled games that mimic blockbuster movies. Sony exclusives, in my not-humble-at-all opinion, are more varied, and some are comparatively high art.
We absolutely need a way to play these on modern consoles. Sometimes I'm really in the mood for the Shin Megami universe, but not awake enough to be strategising about fusions and demon collecting. Just plain, old-fashioned skill-tree goodness.
From's games are very challenging in the context of today's gamescape, but this is partly due to a revolution of dumbing-down that has been taking place over the last 2 decades to make games more accessible for the masses. If I go back to play any NES and SNES era games, I'm dying just as much as in soulsbornes, and often without a save system.
@djlard maybe you're heading to the wrong areas too soon? There are also lots of high-level enemies scattered about the map that are best avoided when first encountered.
Using the co-op feature also helps immensely; I can't do from software games without it... which is why I never beat Sekiro.
The Simpsons Game for PS3/X360 was an absolute banger, with some of the best writing, videogame parodies, and a very fun version of Springfield to explore. I would love a remaster or a port on modern systems, ideally with support for online coop.
Some here are insisting that none of the DLC was planned, because Square said so. Let's not forget, Leviathan's crystal has been visible this whole time, and no one in the game addresses it. If that doesn't scream "cut content", I don't know what does.
I think what might be going on is that the writers are trying to emulate the Lynchian, disassociative style of dialogue from the classic Silent Hill games, but failing.
That band along the top of the Pulse would give me headache, so I wound up getting an Inzone instead. This new headset also looks like a cranially tight migraine machine.
I'd be interested in seeing this list correlated with the ages of gamers. I get the feeling that the proportionally high amount of very young gamers had a big effect on these values.
@KaijuKaiser it could be a friendly tonberry who runs a colosseum or a brothel or something... Or he just shows up to kill someone, like in FFXIII. I just miss him. He hasn't called in ages. He reads my messages, but he doesn't reply. I think he's seeing someone else.
Like I said, it's a great game. But it feels like half a final fantasy game. It's quite stripped down, I assume in an effort to appeal to wider audience, and as a result it's greatly simplified. Side quests are simplified, on-screen quest markers make it that we don't need to think about where to go next, weapons are a case of "the new one is stronger than the previous one", elemental weaknesses are almost completely omitted, there are absolutely no logic puzzles, the bestiary is incomplete, we can only control and outfit a single character... Still a great game though.
What a bunch of entitled narcissists who think this girl doesn't have the right to her own voice. The internet has really been great for bully culture. I say down with online anonymity in public spaces. Force people to be responsible for what they post.
No, this is the part where I tell you that you don't need to be the target audience for everything. If you don't think this scene is funny, then don't romance the shapeshifter.
"Not being into sex with animals makes me a bigot?"
You're not supposed to be into sex with animals: this is comedy, not erotica.
And as a parent, you should he paying attention to age ratings. There's a reason mature games are rated mature.
I'm loving the game, but I would really appreciate the option to turn off the destination marker for the main quest. I'm not learning my way around because the GPS is always in my face.
It seems absolutely amazing to be able to walk through the Stauf mansion in 3D. I hope the soundtrack is similar, it contributed so much to the game's character.
The improvements on PS5 are pretty nice, but the newly introduced deadzone on the camera stick and the mandatory epilepsy filter are bugging me a little. I can't help but feel that the PS4 version is superior, despite the lower graphical quality.
