The one that it should've released with in the first place? I'm glad I haven't bought this game at release. I love Persona but I don't trust Atlus.

@naruball It basically has classes and relationships that are similarly done to Fire Emblem. The combat has units that you organize in rows and they act according to the skills you've given them and where they are positioned. Very similar to Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen and Ogre Battle 64.
The story is very standard but well told with medieval flair in the dialogue.

If any of this interests you, it does everything I described quite well.

Got the game a day early due to preordering and I'm having a blast!
If you like Fire Emblem and/or Ogre Battle, this game is for you!

She's a terrible actress and one of the reasons I stopped watching the series. People are comparing to Forspoken but I don't think it's fair, since Forspoken at least had good graphics and the gameplay was acceptable. This looks much worse.

I prefer 60fps, but if they can't reach it, at least lock it at 30fps. Uncapped with dips in framerate looks absolutely horrendous.

"Hey, we're making the game without one of the core components of the franchise"
PASS

I guess J.B. Perette is the living proof of the concept of "failing upwards"

Funny how people jump to defend this game for its graphical and sidequest issues while XVI was completely blasted for the same reasons.
The bias is real.

@ArashiKageTaro I have absolutely no idea who he is nor could I care less. I played GTA V and I still don't know who he is. I'm not in my 60s.
Maybe if you're a bit less condescending and more empathetic you can realize not everyone has the same musical taste as yours.

Thank goodness I'm too old to understand all this nonsense.

So remaking it to make it worse than the original? 200 IQ move.

To echo everyone's sentiments here, he's a legend who truly deserves all the rest he needs.

The jump in players is obviously leaving early access and due to websites showing Steam stats we knew for sure the game has sold way past 10 million copies.
Not much new information there.

@Th3solution I'm not registered on Pure Xbox and I couldn't care less about the console wars.
I actually said the he explained his point well in the review while the bullet point is way too vague to be understood, that's all.

Of all the things to be influenced by Sonic, being buggy and having collision issues definitely shouldn't be two of them.

@Impossibilium It's still trite to say it. Just because he explained it doesn't make it less trite. Instead of writing that in the negative points he could've put "slow burning and excessive reading".
I understand his argument, but people who look at the bullet points will be dissatisfied.
It's similar to the IGN Pokemon review with "too much water". Even though the writer went in detail about why the excess of water routes in a Pokémon game bogs it down, everyone thought that saying "too much water" was overly simplistic.

Congrats to them, they deserve it!

Kudos to them for the dedication and quick resolution.
Even though it's not my kind of game, I'm really happy that the end product is a high quality game that the people who bought can enjoy and the developers can be satisfied with the results.

If you ever played an Ogre Battle or Fire Emblem game you owe it to yourself to try it.
It really feels like a mix of the two in the best kind of way.

So the best one stays in first place

£35??? I loved Else ring, but I bought the game for £55 and doubt this DLC Will be almost 2/3 the length of the original game. I'll wait for a price drop, that's way too much for an expansion.

So the AAAA game debuted in 4th place?
Ubisoft's CEO remains a master strategist.

Remember when people were complaining that everything was a soulslike? Welcome to the era of "everything is a survival game".
Publishers really don't understand that if they bloat the market they don't sell their product.

I would say Phil Spencer is two faced, but a more accurate description would be no faced. That man wears whichever mask is more convenient for him at the time.

@Johnnycide Thanks! Just doing my best to contribute to society and the meme machine that Phil Spencer is!

@puddinggirl Careful! If you say his name 3 times he shows up on your doorstep!

I understand the concept, but frankly I felt uncomfortable when I woke up today and next to me was Phil Spencer in a dressing gown whispering "everywhere" in my ear.

I remember in the comment section of The Game Awards some people being snobbish and writing that the DICE awards are where the professionals of the industry vote and that's what counts.
I wonder what they have to say now considering 80% of the winners are the same. I guess the professionals and us common folk are not so different after all.

@Czar_Khastik Your top tier ***** posting is half the reason I read the comment section.
Thanks for the continuous entertainment!

It feels as if Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle had a child and I'm totally up for that!

@ChrisDeku Considering I'm married, probably 99.7%. It makes me wonder if people who jump to defend her horrible design have never seen or touched a woman.

@UltimateOtaku91 It's a live service game that has very few players after a week. Number of copies sold is not the only thing that maintain a game like that alive. Suicide Squad is DOA.

I don't like the art style, the gameplay and the Live-service model. Also, the reviews are mostly saying this is an average game.

That being said, if this game is for you, I hope you are having fun!

I wanted both Rollerdrome and Steelrising! Great month!

I'll wait a year or two until they release Reloaded and then the definitive version, Re-reloaded.

The way these corporate execs speak and behave could make them easily replaceable by an AI.

Humongous what?

Like most people here, I'll wait until they release the full version in a year or so.

Well, Microsoft already replaced the CEO of Microsoft Gaming with a corporate AI called Phil Spencer, now they're going to replace these employees too.

He does have a point but I think he oversimplified the problem of an open world a bit. Even if you make your world interested, some people prefer to play games on a more focused goal oriented manner where fast traveling cuts down a lot of the fat. Also on repeat playthroughs you're avoiding seeing a lot of the same places you've seen before and focusing on what you like the most.
The problem is when developers use it as a cop out for a poorly designed world. Some games would die if they didn't have fast travel because the open world is repetitive and it only serves as a means to travel from point A to B. Yet, I think the option to fast travel should be available even in well designed worlds since it gives the players more agency.

Why are you showing the same game twice with slightly lower brightness?

Long live single player games!
Also it clearly shows that the people trying to boycott the game were the typical loud minority.

@ijulianvel I do agree in part with that, but a series produced by HBO, with Pedro Pascal in a unique post apocalyptic setting has a much broader appeal than for what the general public will be just another teenager slasher flick.

@Stonecold730 I know that. But Baldur's Gate sold 20 milion copies for at least £40 each. I don't think Microsoft or Sony would pay £800 million for one game.

That's great! It's a wonderful game and they deserve to be paid in full for their amazing effort.

Digimon Survive for £9? I was on the fence because it's more of a visual novel than a strategy game, but now I might actually bite the bullet and buy it.

Could you be less stereotypical than "big bad company is litigious"? C'mon Take Two, that's pathetic.

This game made me lose interest for the franchise, but at least the upgrade path is reasonable this time.

@GamingFan4Lyf Oh, fair enough.
Whenever you're in an RPG mood, give P5 a try!
