I was very disappointed after playing the demo. This game has no right to look this bad and run in 30fps on PS5 Pro. Seems like a Switch version ported to PS5 as is. On top of that, I found it surprisingly boring. I will stick with TitS 😬
Tales of the Abyss is my pick. It's a great game that I completed on the PlayStation 2 years ago, but would love to re-play. It needs a remaster or a remake more than the other entries.
Dragon Quest XI is one of the best games that came out on the last generation of consoles. I absolutely adore it, and while I would love to play the next one soon, I want them to take their time to polish it to perfection.
@Kraven The game was quite expansive, but the number of discs was largely due to the fact that the X360 used CDs with a maximum capacity of 8.5GB. Meanwhile, the PS3, released in the same generation, had already adopted the Blu-ray standard and the game would probably fit on one disc.
I simply watch gaming-related videos to stay informed and to make an informed decision if I'm interested in buying a game (reviews). I would say that I game around 15-20 hours a week and watch gaming content for 2-3 hours.
Still taking my time with Romancing Saga 2: RotS and then I'll go to Bloom Town for a bit as I really enjoyed the demo. Dragon Quest will be next (probably).
An easy 10 for me. 10 isn't a perfect game, as those don't exist, but it is just sooo freaking fun to play, and judging by the size of my smile while playing, it definitely deserves a 10.
I'm craving a new RPG, so I pre-ordered this and am looking forward to playing it on Thursday. Although I was a bit disappointed discovering there aren't any indoor areas to explore in the demo.
@ShogunRok Is that the case in other locations as well?

Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Might Be the Series' Most Insane Game Yet, Sailing to PS5, PS4 in February
@Starkei
Sure, I just don't think that deserves a full price.
If it's reasonably priced then count me in.
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Might Be the Series' Most Insane Game Yet, Sailing to PS5, PS4 in February
It's going to be more of a DLC to IW type of thing, so they better not charge full price for this...
Mainly the same locations and assets.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
The lack of the disc drive for that price is absurd. Not buying.
