My heat sank when I saw this. Without full backwards compatibility (all the way to PS1), this console is not worth $500+ for me.

Hope The Death Set is ready for the lawsuit that is surely coming for breaching a NDA by putting that information out there.

@GADG3Tx87 I think you're being optimistic saying it'll be on the PS6. Lol

How many times are they going to re-release these games? Talk about milking the consumers for every penny they possibly can.

I initially told myself I wouldn't buy the game because it's just yet another retelling of the story in video game form for what seems like the 30th time. However, even though every reviewer across the board has echoed the sentiments of the game being wildly inconsistent in both quality and presentation, I'm actually more tempted to buy the game now than I was several months ago. That's probably because I honestly expected the game to not even hit a 7/10, plus I haven't played a DBZ game since Budokai 2 on GameCube, so my nostalgic desire for a good DBZ game is a little high. I won't be paying full price for Kakarot, but I'll definitely buy it in a few months after a price drop. Hopefully they can address some of the patchable issues between now and then.

I'm definitely a fan of the black box. Nostalgic feel going back to the PS2, but also unique since Nintendo and Xbox aren't currently using black boxes.

@kiki3400 "Not every game has to be amazing and forge new paths in gameplay and invent a new genre. What's wrong with a game being fun, enjoyable and solid."

Best comment on this entire thread, my friend. At the end of the day, I play games to have fun. I played probably 40-50 games this year and, despite its flaws, the most fun I had all year was playing Days Gone. I don't need developers to constantly reinvent the wheel; I just need a game to be fun, and Days Gone delivered for me.

@LiamCroft And to that end, I, as well as 1,508 other people on this site will agree to disagree.

@LiamCroft You're focusing on the originality aspect of the definition. When I hear the word "uninspired," it immediately connotes the lacking in inspiration (or what I consider lacking "heart") aspect of the definition, and it's pretty clear to anyone who put a solid amount of time into the game that, though the game is flawed, it does not lack inspiration.

@LiamCroft Oh, idk, maybe the horde mechanic that was one of the major selling points? But my point wasn't about the game doing something new, it was about the claim that [edit: the] game is uninspired.

"Days Gone is quite an interesting case when you step back and take a look at the bigger picture. The game doesn't do a whole lot to set itself apart from most other open world titles — you could even argue that it's pretty uninspired."

And if you made that argument, I would vehemently argue against that. The game is flawed, but it is anything but uninspired.

@oldschool1987 Lol nice try. Too bad my PlayStation account has a different name.

@m8e3point1415 for me, the pacing is way worse than even MGSV.

@ellsworth004 I have, have you? I spent over 12 hours with it and hated it.

“We still struggle to wrap our heads around why people would waste their time doing this to begin with.”

Maybe because folks like PushSquare described the gameplay as “tedious,” “heartbreaking,” and “lackluster” but somehow award the game a perfect score of 10/10. Kojima bias is unreal.

Days Gone is a very flawed game, no doubt. But I absolutely loved that game. The technical hiccups were by far the biggest issue I had with the game, but they were never enough for me to want to stop playing. I'd love to see a sequel that cleans up the technical issues, does a better job of pacing the story, and continuing to build the mythos of the world. I'm in.

@LiamCroft How can the gameplay be expertly honed while also tedious and lackluster?

@FullbringIchigo Rob is the best.

When you use words like "lackluster," "tedious," and "heartbreaking" to describe your feelings about certain gameplay elements, I find it incredibly odd that the game can still be called a masterpiece. I seem to remember games like Days Gone not being given a fair shake after using even less harsh criticism than those listed above.

@FullbringIchigo Beat me to it lol

Oh my heart hurt hearts so much.

Just the possibility of The Last of Us 2 being delayed makes me want to cry.

Looks like Dead Cells. I'm not big into the Souls games, but I was a huge fan of Dead Cells, so this interests me.

"It's quite refreshing not to have to spend 100 hours digging through a gigantic RPG."

PREACH!

Wow. 7/10 is definitely the lowest score I've seen for this game so far. Everywhere else is handing out 8s and 9s.

I tried playing Mafia 3, but just couldn't get into it, so I'm on the fence about a Mafia 4. I'd totally buy a Mafia 2 remaster though. I've always felt that was a super underrated game.

I don't understand the common criticism of this game - "It's just more Borderlands" or "They haven't changed anything." It being more of the same is EXACTLY why I preordered it the minute it became available. No need to fix what isn't broken. They tried changing it up a little with the pre-sequel (a game which I really liked at the time), but it wasn't received nearly as well as the first two games, so they went back to what worked.

Every physical release of The Walking Dead ever released has had major issues on launch. I remember trying to play Season One on 360 and the frame rate would freeze for 5-10 seconds making QTEs impossible to perform. I love these games so much, and I own physical versions of every season, but dude. I love Telltale Games, but there's a reason why they had to shut down.

This looks hilariously fun.

I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED Batman Season Three.

I need a fourth option for big games releasing during the summer – Less of them. This summer has killed my wallet.

Not gonna lie. The Arthur picture about made me cry.

I've more than given up on the FFVII remake. In 2025, we'll be talking about how great this game is going to be on PS6.

About time. Unreal in 2019 that subtitles aren't included from the get-go in every game released. It should be required.

Would love to have a physical edition. Not that I'd ever play it because I absolutely hated this game when it originally released. But I've got every physical AC game released on PS4, so it'd look good in the collection.

Don't care what they change, they've already got my money. FC5 was one of my favorite games of the last few years. I can totally see how people think it's just another repetitive Ubisoft open-world Far Cry, but I never stopped having fun, and at the end of the day, that's what matters most.

@Undead22 not complaining. Asking a question, and I literally said I’m hyped for the game. But troll on.

I've been so hyped for this game for so long. But anyone else noticing the graphical hiccups with the freakers stuttering into each other and the shadows popping in? How does that make it into a trailer?

@nave694 My mind was blurring things together while typing. Thanks for catching that.

@JoeBlogs can't disagree with that. I skipped PS3 entirely and just bought the remastered PS3 exclusives I missed/wanted to play and played them on PS4, which really only equates to The Last of Us, Journey, and the Uncharted Collection.

@JoeBlogs I played both GTA IV and the original RDR on Xbox 360 and never had any technical issues whatsoever.

I wonder if it'll fix some frame rate issues I've experienced. Playing on the launch version of the PS4, every time I enter any town, the frame rate really dips. It's never bothered me or broke my immersion, but I was surprised to see it in a Rockstar game, and it's definitely something I notice every time it's occurred during my 80+ hours with the game. That said, this game is incredible. I 100%-ed the original; I don't know if I'll 100% this one, but I'm at 90.4% and I absolutely do not wanna play another game right now.

I love Fallout, but when they said multiplayer in the original reveal, I was out. Then when I saw the initial gameplay footage coming out, I couldn't believe how dated everything looked. The game seriously looks like a late-gen PS3/Xbox 360 game. Then all the framerate issues made Fallout 4 look like a technical marvel in comparison. At the end of the day though, graphical fidelity is less important to me than overall gameplay. The VATS changes and lack of NPCs totally kills it for me. I really hope I wind up being wrong though.

So disappointing. The wig looks awful and his face isn't masculine/defined enough.

I really, really wanted Chrono Cross and Legend of Dragoon to be in this list, but other than that, it's a pretty solid lineup.
