I think I'm going to wait and see.
Was one of the first to jump on "Technomancer" when it came out and boy was that one a bomb.
Although the marketing made it look great, the load times were terrible, the GUI was a travesty, and the overall game play fell flat.
Promised myself to never get caught like that again.
My budget this month will allow me to get "GreedFall" or "Ni No Kuni - Wrath of the White Witch"
I'll wait and see.
@Carl-G Give "Dreams" a whirl. Has a fantastic suite of tools to make original music... And, no, I don't work for M.M. Just really like what they have done with the product so far. Amazing. Plus I think that the pre-release version is still on sale so you can get it for a bargain price
My understanding from some folks that would know is that C.P. 20777 was shown being played on a PS4 Pro behind closed doors and that it looked fantastic. Will double check.
No need to worry about Judgement at all in the Yakuza timeline as it is a completely separate group of characters and point of view. I believe the location is the same (Kamurocho) but that should be it. Judgement is very good.
Excited to give this new class a go. ESO has really come a long ways from its weak beginning. Think it is simply the best MMO out there right now, especially if you pop for the ESO Plus model. Really, really good.
@JJ2 I suppose some folks would do it to troll folks. I don't think someone should have the right to do it all the time, since it can be used for bad intent. On Xbox, you only can do it every 6 months and that makes sense to me.
"So it's free with no pay to win items? What's the catch?"
From what I can tell, none. Best free to play game out there along with Warframe. Quality game that I've played for over a year on PC and now will happily play on PS4. Played so long for nothing that I felt a little guilty and tossed them $10 for some cosmetics. That's it. From what I can tell of their purchases are strictly cosmetics. Great game and from what I can tell so far, great port. Now I need to see if I can transfer my characters from PC or start from scratch.
A big fan of the Souls games and have completed DS1 and 2.
Think this may be From's best game yet and certainly the most accessible.
Where I have heard concerns from people, it's that they don't want to learn a new style of playing since their reflexes are tuned to other From Software games.
Defiantly faster than DS and BB, but it's a fantastic new system.
I'm digging it.
Hope From Software continues to branch out in new directions.
@biscuit_of_rage "terrible i think we getting short changed here by sony"
Have to agree with this. With the PS3 and Vita games going away, I think they should have offered 3 PS4 games or throw in a VR title. We used to get 2 games (plus others) and now we get 2 PS4 games.
"This game will be dead by end of year"... Played it today and have to agree, Anthem will be dead by the end of the year. Shame really. Was looking forward to this and well shoot... it really sucks.
Rounding to the end of Dragon Quest XI. First ever DQ game for me and I have to say it is magnificent! Great story, wonderful characters, great battle system, just fantastic. Next to Persona 5, my favorite JRPG of all time (looking at you Final Fantasy) After I finish that, I think I'll give Tales of V. a shot. Have a great weekend and stay safe everyone.
Robert, completely agree with your assessment of Dragon Quest XI as game of the year. I've played every game on your list. Plus many more Spiderman, God of War, Detroit, etc. DQXI is the game I keep coming back to. Persona 5 is a close 2nd for me. So many wonderful games this year on PS4. Can't wait to see what is coming next....
@Amusei I agree. Witcher 3 is the best RPG ever made. And...I have to go with Persona 5 at number 2 although it was a close race for me. Great list Sammy.
This is also my first Monster Hunter. It has really got its hooks into me. Making my way slowly towards taking out Diablos. Hope to become a part of that stat down the road.
Finished SoM couple of weeks ago so I'm on to Shadow of War. Really like these games. Would recommend the sequel to anyone that liked Shadow of Mordor.
Really? Garbage? Hardly! Maybe it is not your thing...but one of the best one player game FPS in the last few years. Respect your opinion, but I fully disagree.
Technically, these games have been ranked "Worst to Best" (not Best to Worst) in the order they appeared. But I find it hard to argue with the ranking. For me, Black Flag and Origins are the best of the group. Interesting that both are from the same development team.
Have to agree with you here. Witcher is the best western RPG and Persona is the best JRPG. I've spent hundreds of hours with these two games. Both masterpieces.
@naruball
My suggestion. Go for a HyperX Cloud 2.
My PlayStation Gold headset kept un-syncing.
Got the HyperX and never looked back.
Can use it for any product that asks for a mini plug... (Roku, iPod, iPad, etc.)
Plus, I can use it on my PC.
Best headset I've ever owned!
Oh, and best games...Lost Legacy, Everybodie's Golf, and UnderTale.
@MinerWilly I'm doing the same thing, playing golf with my wife in front of the TV. Have the same question about the DLC courses. If anyone knows, let us know. Thanks
