People acting like an 8 is disappointing is pretty wild to me, some of the best games are rated 8/10, the score just indicates the game might have some shortcomings which most do. No reason to not dive in or lose the hype you had initially
haha this is taking the "too many soulslikes" argument to the next level. could be a good way to get kids into the genre though I suppose? idk but looks harmless and could be decent fun
@Th3solution it’s a great game, I’m not even a huge jrpg person but the combat and story are awesome. There’s a lot of dialog and it’s long but it’s fun and the world is gorgeous
@Kidfunkadelic83 I just added them to the ignore list too, looked at their game ratings and saw they gave persona 3 reload a 5/10 and infinite wealth a 1/10, pretty impressive to have completed both of those 80+ hour games that came out almost the same day two weeks ago already! Hope some people keep this in mind when reading those “well thought out” opinions
@KundaliniRising333 I think you are really blowing this out of proportion I have seen you saying it on so many articles. I noticed some texture issues but it wasn't all that detrimental to the experience. The game will be great, don't play it if you don't want to but can we move on from this tired narrative
I'm thinking around a 7 right now but have to finish it. The story is really simple and the combat is like a stripped down, less complex Tales of Arise. Definitely pales in comparison to that game in every way and it’s hard not to compare given the similarities. Still having a lot of fun with it though and a nice palette cleanser before Rebirth
Edit: played a good bit more, almost done and I’m moving this down to a 6. Lots of reskinned bosses and not much challenge to be found. Very repetitive and just feels really uninspired in a lot of ways
That art style is gorgeous. Super tempted on this it looks so simple and fun. Just so torn with Rebirth right around the corner and the trifecta that is this, P3 and IW. Still not even close to deciding but I will get there
@StonyKL two great but very different games. Personally I think Ragnarok is a better game but it all depends what kind of experience you're looking for
Finishing my CP2077 platinum then Phantom Liberty and then I have to decide between this, Persona 3, and Granblue. Spoiled for choices but I have no idea where to go with them and Rebirth right around the corner. GAHHH!
@bozz thanks for saying this. I guarantee a vast majority of the people complaining about this rarely, if ever, touch new game plus and just want to take a stance on whatever the new consumer outrage is. Big eye roller from me
@OtsutsukiBoruto @Ninjadeath2023 only 12 percent of players even finished the main story of yakuza 7 on PS5. The game is really long and jam packed with side content, as is the sequel. It’s a full game getting a full review. People are welcome to condemn the handling of the paywall for new game plus but it’s not going to impact most people’s experience and it doesn’t factor into the quality of the game.
Omg that headline got me hyped!!! Mannnn between this Granblue and Persona 3 I truly have no idea which direction to go in. Brutal decisions but happy to have an amazing group of games to choose from
I do not play online so I just can't justify shelling out full price for fighting games on release with the limited amount of time I end up spending on them. I did it with Tekken 7 and it was one of my rare regretful purchases so I will check this out when it hits the $20-30 range, awesome as it may be
I already finished both of the top games but those are good additions. I haven't gotten around to Plague Tale yet from essential and I'm super into Cyberpunk right now so I don't mind having a down month on Extra
@GuttyYZ are you playing on PS5? I am about 25 hours in on this playthrough and have had very few bugs, the only one I can think of was a Cyberpsycho getting stuck on top of a car so it made it really easy to finish them off. Have not had any of the problems you mention other than the occasional animation glitch
This game has so many issues that really should not have been there but it was amazing at times. My main complaint outside of the terrible side quests and some of the PS2 level animation is it was just so unbelievably easy. Even playing FF mode for the platinum I think I died like 3 times the entire playthrough, and I am by no means great at video games
This looks awesome and capitalizes on all of my nostalgia. Tekken 4 was one of the first games I owned on PS2, amazing game. That being said I just cannot justify spending 70 bucks on a fighting game. I don't play online and wouldn't really play locally with anyone so I don't think its worth it for just the campaign and the odd time I would throw it on for a round or two. The last full price fighting game I got was Tekken 7 and while I had fun with it it is still one of my most regrettable purchases based on the value I got out of it
1. Hogwarts Legacy 2. Resi 4 Remake 3. Spiderman 2 4. Like A Dragon Ishin 5. Dead Island 2 Honorable mentions BG3 and FF16 but I ranked based on enjoyment rather than pure quality
@Hundred_Hand_Slap I figured it might be discounted at some of the retailers like Target or Walmart but I guess we'll see. You are probably right though its very early
