Oh man, I forgot that this is happening the day after the Switch 2 launches. Summer Game Fest will be the last thing on my mind that day.

Considering I've gotten quite a bit of wallet funds from the program, yeah I absolutely hate that it's going away. And no, I don't expect them to replace it with anything that allows that again.

Same crap that Nintendo just pulled as well when they got rid of the gold coins you could use towards eShop purchases. These companies just refuse to give their customers any kind of benefits.

The problem I had with this game is that I hit a point of no return near the end which locks you out of alllll of the new content that has been added to the game since its release. And I don't have the time to go back and replay the entire game just to experience the new content. So I've missed out on everything since. Unless I'm missing something about a way to return to the rest of the game from the area I'm locked into before the final battle.

@Coffeeglitch 100%. As someone who spent years as an executive director of design and brand integrity, there is just no excuse for what happened here.

This has been a pattern with Bungie for a while now, and when it happens this often, it is absolutely intentional on the highest level of the design/art team. One time offense? Sure, you can chalk that up to an understandable (but still egregious) oversight. 4 times in recent years? Yeah no, that comes from the top.

Why do most games that look this good visually with an anime art style have to be gotcha free-to-play nonsense...

@Stino69 Thorough is the word I'd use. Not "anal". They simply report their findings, regardless of how minor or major they are. They even often mention that most people won't be affected by many of the minor findings they discover, either through VRR or by simply not noticing them.

@DennisReynolds Sadly, that Xbox patch for Oblivion didn't actually improve performance. DF just released a new video this morning updating their findings on that one. They discovered that the game's performance dramatically drops after you've been playing the game for roughly 15 minutes or more. And that their previous test with that patch was from a fresh boot of the game, which gave the false impression that performance had improved with the patch. It didn't.

Hate to say it, but I don't see any gameplay in that trailer at all. It's just cutscenes. Unless the cutscenes are quick-time events and they are counting that as gameplay.

@Dampsponge Not the same thing obviously. But you tried.

Looks good yes. But very much does not move good. That frame rate...😬

Fatal Fury for me. I'm a huge fighting game fan, and this game absolutely delivers. Even with the genuinely crappy inclusion of some real lifers in the roster (one in particular).

And the least surprising gaming news of the year goes toooo...(drumroll)...GTA6 being delayed into next year! Congratulations Rockstar!

Called it.

It's a matter of when, and not if, at this point that PS does the same. I really hate this timeline.

@Nei Keep in mind that it's 1M copies in only a few days. Plus it's a brand new franchise from a no-name developer with zero brand recognition. Those factors are important when considering the success here, and you can bet SquareEnix understands that as well.

Agreed that SquareEnix has been trying to gaslight Final Fantasy fans that we don't like turn-based combat. They lost the plot a long time ago with the series, which is a real shame. It used to be my absolute uncontested favorite RPG series back in the day. But those days are long gone, and I haven't even bothered to play FF16 yet. Something that younger me would have never thought possible considering how high of a pedestal I used to place the series on.

I hate the dumb real lifers guest characters, but the game itself is seriously good.

@Papasears1982 Forza Horizon is wildly different than GT...

He's absolutely right about that.

Hard pass for me. Feels like everything this game is doing is like pure video game repellent to me.

@brizzbrett What a bad take. Someone giving their honest review of a game is not undermining a developer's work. It's respecting their work. Actual insanely bad take.

@solocapers No, I'm asking for a remake. A remaster already exists on PS4 and other modern consoles/PC. A remake is a remake of the same game but with remade modern visuals (Demon's Souls and Super Mario Allstars). A remaster is the same game with the same visuals but in higher resolution and sometimes higher res textures and other minor tweaks. You're thinking of a reimagining for remakes. The new version of Resident Evil 2 and Metroid Zero Mission are reimaginings. They are completely different games compared to the originals and do not replace them.

I think FF7 Remake is good. Rebirth is less good (waaayy too much filler/bloat), but still good. But I've also always been disappointed that we never got a real remake of the original FF7.

Just give us the original game with remade visuals and the original gameplay. What makes it even more annoying is that they literally have the new visuals now in that mobile game, but they're wasting them on said mobile gotcha game. Use those assets and give us the original game! It's such an easy win that it's mind boggling that they aren't grabbing that low hanging fruit.

Yep. I thought exactly the same thing when I saw his comments.

Very good news. Even if I don't believe them for a second that it's a "bug". Please, you don't release a game with such a glaring flaw and don't notice it in testing. They just hoped people wouldn't care, but the blow back was big enough for them to change course and try to "fix" it.

Amazing game that is knee capped by its horrendous frame rate issues.

@Barry_vV You should never ever based your purchasing decisions on a hope and a prayer that a developer will fix problems with a game later down the line. Sometimes it happens. Most of the time it doesn't.

Surprised by AI Limit's price. It's only $31.49. I remember trying the demo and having some issue with it, but I actually don't remember what it was. I should try it again.

The Pro performance mode looks so much better in this case. Actually insane what a difference it makes.

Note to SquareEnix. This is how you remake a classic RPG.

Nope. I have no friends to play with. Womp womp.

Trails through Daybreak 2. By far.

Nah, it's fine on my end.

I need to wait and see how it fairs on PS5 Pro, because holy hell the game looked bad in the beta without Pro upgrades. One of the worst looking games I've seen so far this gen. Worse looking than World, which is like a 7 year old game at this point.

Not surprising sadly. I have a PS5 Pro, and I do like it. But given its high price and disappointing game "upgrades", I don't blame people for not bothering with it. The PS4 Pro was transformative. 4K visuals for the first time in a console was huge, and it made for a massive visual boost to the games. PS5 Pro on the other hand barely makes a difference in most games. And a fair number of games were even outright downgrades over base PS5, which is absolutely wild.

@danzoEX It's possible that he may have taken a life or two.....hundred.

I think it's completely fair to drag Sony for the lack of quality in their State of Play events. Especially when you compare them to the recent Nintendo and Xbox events, which have been stellar in comparison. Yes, there was some stuff here that looked interesting, but Sony has a habit of not reading the room when it comes to what the fanbase wants, and consistently not delivering on those fronts. It's telling that the recent Xbox event was more exciting for Playstation fans than the Playstation event itself was.

I honestly didn't even know the game wasn't running at 4K already. I will probably not even notice a difference.

Pretty bad honestly. The only stuff that really interested me was stuff we already knew about that just got new trailers.

@ChrisDeku Except Sony would have spent $200M+ dollars and 5 years development time on it, whereas Fromsoft clearly knew how to efficiently produce a game like this by reusing assets from their previous game. This is hardly an apples to apples comparison.

Never. Using a mouse is murder on my hands due to a disability.

Shallow gameplay!? WTF? That 100% does not describe Ninja Gaiden II. Like...at all.

@thefourfoldroot1 It's more a matter of time than money. It could be gifted to me, and I still wouldn't have the time to play through an entire first game in the series just to play the sequel.

Interesting. I never even heard of this series. But knowing that it's a direct sequel to a game I never played is a pretty big hurdle to overcome. Such is the fate, and risk, of direct sequels I suppose.

Already played through it on my Series X, so no. It's pretty good, but I honestly don't think open world works very well for racing games. Just give me a track based game where I can jump straight from race to race.

Knew this would happen. Let this be a lesson. Never ever invest money into a free-to-play game. Ever.

The best game that Sega has ever produced outside of F-Zero GX. A true masterpiece, and desperately in need of a definitive version since the GCN version has butchered audio, but also more content.

I wish I knew how Ninja Gaiden II Black is enhanced, because it doesn't seem impressive visually or performance wise on my Pro. The 120fps mode is absolutely abysmal looking, and the 60fps mode looks "good", but not great, and has noticeable performance drops that go below the VRR window. Really makes me wonder how it runs on a base PS5.

Wish I could say I'm excited for part three, but Rebirth really kind of killed my anticipation for it. I didn't hate the game at all, but I sure didn't love it either.
