@JustMyOpinion I thought I was the only one with this issue. I played it about a few months ago and was eager to try the Kurosawa B&W setting but, in the end, couldn't keep playing after the end crédit while I usually go for plat. However, I loved Odyssey (only AC I did so far) because of how they recreated ancient/,mythical Greece and found Kassandra pretty fun too.
I love Japan and look forward to thé setting but I don't know if I will get the same wow feeling as climbing on top of Athena or watching the light pass through the cracks of ancient temples and columns...
Not a FF fan and never really had any urge to play them except for 6. However, I always thought Lightning's design and that battle theme Light of something I can't remember (blinded by light!) were really, really good.
Really excited for this game. However, I think it's Eurogamer's preview who pointed a lack of map wharsoever and, as a person with no orientation skill (both in real life and video games), that frightens me a bit. I really wish the final release would have a map of some sort featured in.
Bought it 400€ during the last price cut.
Enjoying beat saber and kayak mirage so far.
Haven't DL horizon yet.
Waiting to clear some backlog before losing myself in no man sky.
Spaceship adventuring will be a childhood dream made Virtually Real Xb
Just finished the first one (thanks the PS+ games this month) and thought it was incredible. It reminded me of me playing Transistor for the first time somehow. I'll do two more runs (played Machinist, need to try the other classes) then definitely play the 2nd one!
Really hope this will be successful and more western studios will put their hart into turn based rpgs ^_^
Even Ubisoft did the charming Child Of Light a few years ago.
Not a FPS fan so, I often have to ignore a huge part of "Best VR" stuff (that and I really don't like TOP whatever anway lol).
However, I bought a PSVR2 because of the 40% off during sales and, while my goal is to later lose myself in No Man's Sky, I've been playing that Kayak game and Beat Saber and, so far, those two really delivered.
Kayak Mirage is incredibly relaxing and pleasant to roam in. Beat Saber gives me the same euphoric vibe I got when I used to party with RockBand and my friends. Only drawback, but that's very personal, I'm not confident enough to play beat saber alone as my play area isn't that large and I already bumped once or twice in a furniture lol.
Demeo is on my radar because I love boardgames and having an oppportunity to play even when my friends are not available sounds good to me.
40% off PSVR2, I had to take it. Now, I really don't know when or what I'll play* on it but... I guess now I have the options. lloll
*probably losing myself in No Man's Sky, I have fond memories of my younger self looking at artworks of sci-fi landscapes and this game in VR now seems like this could be it. Also, Beat Sabers and that Kayak game...
I so wished FFVI and FFVII had swapped places in people's mind and instead of getting endless Nomura stuff, we would have had premium dream remake/rebirth of FFVI
Still on Metaphor Refantazio because I love this game and I play every games in the least possible efficient way, so despite my best efforts, whatever completion time might be commonly agreed on for a game, I usually double that
Also, probably some more SF6 and a possible come back to GGStrive plus a bit of social life ^^
@Bramble
You were right to do so.
Sadly, those kind of games play on my OCDs lol I'm one of those guys who wants to see everything if possible.
For example, the only AC I did was Odyssey (because Ancient Greece) and, while I enjoyed this wonderwoman simulator, I ended up almost doing everything twice because, at first, I stupidly thought it would be fun to tour the entire map and discover everything until I discovered the story would send me back to the same places because, on certain missions, unless you got the assignement first, you can't solve it lol
I kind of resigned myself to double every game's completion time. I see (30H to plat), I know it's going to be 50 to 60 in my case, from getting lost to spending too much time looking at the menus and wondering why this peculiar asset has been placed there or admiring models and animations...
I'll Finish Metaphor Re: Fantazio demo. Probably will be playing some SF6 or GBVR if my best frenemy is online If I'm really, really, really courageous, I'll try to complete some Ghost Of Tsushima's mission for the plat (got bored and finished the game out of principles rather than love, but in small doses, who knows...?)
@ZeD Same! Night ITW has long been on my list and, since it took me too long to start spiritfarer before it got delisted, I am quite happy. Same with Plucky, looks delicious. Even Under The Waves intrigues me ^^
For 800€ it is already expensive but without a disc drive?
It is not even like I have a huge collection of physical games, I don't, but I do buy a collector edition once in a while and, if I need image quality on a movie/anime dear to my heart, streaming is a no go.
I hope some shop will offer some sort of trade+money deal, buying back base PS5 if you buy the pro...:-/
@PuppetMaster You seem pretty cool. Pretty cool people are always nice to know. Would you be ok to exchange SF names or PS5 names and see if we can room match train and chat together some time? I'm always looking for people to improve with.
You can say "no" of course and I won't hold a grudge ^_^ I mean, I am an internet stranger after all lol.
@PuppetMaster Thanks! As I said, I do, I'm really enjoying it and I'm probably here for the long run. I admit, I still rage sometimes (mostly when I encounter "one and done" people or the very rare rude ones in the hub chat) but, overall, a great experience and met some great players! There are, honestly, few things I loved more than going FT10 or plus with someone, then exchanging GGs and telling each others this was great or words of encouragement and stuff. Even hope those newly acquired skills will transfer to GBVR since Versusia is another tall lady that's calling for my attention ^_^
Love this game. Always liked fighters but sF6 is the first time I'm trying to put some real hours in. I'm no way near a pro and, tbh, still often get washed lol, but I reached Master Rank with Marisa and I'm pretty happy about it ^_^. Can't wait to try Terry Bogard though!
Seen it this morning (movies are released on Wednesday in France) thought it was pretty cool and well done. Note that I am not a real connaisseur of the Alien franchise (seen the movies but I don't collect figures, comics, lore stuff...)or even horror, so I am probably pretty easy to satisfy ^^
I started Ghost Of Tsushima PS5. I'm not impressed yet, but the Kurosawa mode with headphones is... kind of immersive. Certainly some SF6 too, as usual.
I'm ok with the overall PS5 environment so far... mostly since transfering my ps4 went so smooth while I was certain this was going to be a nightmare. However, I really miss the custom and animated desktop screens. I loved those from Persona 5, Transistor, Indivisible, GOW, HDZ as well ass some events like women's day And so on...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 569
Board games
Citizen Sleeper 2
Probably some SF6
Maybe Fatal Fury's beta
Re: Poll: What Were Your Favourite PS5 Games from State of Play?
Shinobi
Onimusha 4
Directive 8020
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Is the First of SEGA's Old Franchise Revivals, and It Looks Awesome
The best game shown during the state of play for my part.
I loved, loved, loved SR3

Re: Black Friday 2024: Best Deals on PS5 Consoles, Games, Controllers, SSDs, and More
@UnlimitedSevens Thanks for the game list.
Beat Saber, and potentially Thumper or Synth thingie, were on my list.
I'm the kind of gamer who doesn't care much for FPS though, or sport sim so no Fifa/CoD for me, even though I admit Pistol Whip's DA looked nice.
I got Call of the Mountain in my bundle.
I was wondering though, have you tried DEMEO or RED MATTER ? DEMEO is kind high on my list and RED MATTER sounded interesting...
Happy WE ^^
Re: Black Friday 2024: Best Deals on PS5 Consoles, Games, Controllers, SSDs, and More
40% off PSVR2, I had to take it.
Now, I really don't know when or what I'll play* on it but... I guess now I have the options. lloll

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 551
Metaphor Refantazio will keep stealing my time.
Also, a little bit of SF6 because... you know... the grind never stops.
Re: Don't Sweat Metaphor: ReFantazio's Borrowed Persona Calender System
@Korgon
540H was the amount of hours it took me to bring Marisa to Master ^^ from June 10th to May the 1st. I was so happy I put it on my LinkedIn lol
Re: Don't Sweat Metaphor: ReFantazio's Borrowed Persona Calender System
@GMaster7 My thought exactly!
@Korgon My thought exactly!
Though, judging by your pic, you might agree that SF6 is a harsh and demanding mistress

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
@crossbit I feel you man.
I live in France and somehow, 699$ turned into 799€ @_@
When 1$ = 0,91€....
Is it because of our 22% TVA (VAT)?
