@Haruki_NLI I’m actually wondering why they don’t do that. Not for this adaptation, but as a way to release the medium in general. Nintendo Switch isn’t using its full potential for that either.
I already paid 600€ for my PS5, and I haven’t gotten a single stable 60fps game in performance mode. Now I have to spend even more money to get a decent performance?
Oh and people saying they’re switching to Nintendo are delusional: they are even greedier and you can be sure they’re adjusting Switch 2’s price to ‘industry standards’ now. Only it will have tech that’s 2,5 generations behind.
I’m one of those people who need a constant 60fps for fast paced games to be able to play them at all. Did I really buy an expensive new console for all these dropped frames everywhere?
Are we glad to hear it’s not worse… not sure. I really need my fast paced games to perform well, or I’ll just get sick. So if FF16 is a reference, that’s a BIG no for me.
I will never understand the acclaim this got. Probably the least interesting gameplay ever in a Final Fantasy game, and I don’t know how anyone could claim otherwise. It doesn’t matter how deep the micromanaging goes, if you can just beat the game by button mashing. Completely out of balance. If THIS is what we get instead of turn based combat, please bring it back now. Dragon Quest and Octopath are doing it, so why wouldn’t it be used for the series that helped make the genre famous?
Is every game going to be f2p now? Just because of what market analysts said? This seems like a dangerous strategy as people who don’t play f2p games are usually quite passionate about hating them.
@Nepp67 Well yeah if I pay 70€ for a game, they shouldn’t charge me extra for some leftovers. That feels like punishment for not waiting to buy the complete edition for the same price. But go ahead and get screwed over by greedy companies if that’s your thing.
@RicebinBernacky The reason I wish DLC would die in favour of more content in the main game. I never want to go back but always get fomo. It’s like being punished for paying and playing day one.
Great I paid 70€ for 30 hours of ‘follow the marker and tap square’ but apparently I had to pay 95€ for another 10 hours of ‘follow the marker and tap square’
Maybe the milking is reaching its saturation point. I loved this world when I first played it, but the endless spin-offs and re-releases have taken away much of the magic.
Same reason why Star Wars used to be special and now it’s just about creating ‘content, content, CONTENT!’
@Kienda I have been excited for these games for many years. But I’m just burnt out. There’s so many other Final Fantasy universes they could have explored.
Still waiting for that Laguna spin-off and more FF9 love. So I guess seeing Cloud is now a reminder of how they milk one and neglect the rest.
As much as I love Jak & Daxter, I’m more excited to see something new. A sci-fi action adventure with a colourful art style like Crash & Jak would be a dream come true.
These game titles are getting more and more banal. I can just imagine some corporate non-gamer suit saying: “The consumer needs to know what it’s about” 🤦♂️ Looks good though
@species True, and I’ve played some amazing DLC before, but it always feels a bit like getting punished for playing something at launch. I usually don’t have any interest in going back after a year.

Re: Palworld Is Now Available on PS5 in Japan After Delayed Launch
I want to buy this game just to make sure I don’t spend that money on a Nintendo game

Re: This May Be the Most Pointless Boxed PS5 Game Ever
I wonder if the disc would make it playable in Belgium. Wouldn’t be so useless after all.
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
Gee I also wonder why PSVR2 isn’t selling.
Do they really think everyone is a millionaire?
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
Star Wars used to be magic.
Now it’s CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT
Re: How Much Would You Pay for Your PS5 Games? Dev Says Industry Is Waiting for GTA 6 to Hike Prices
Why would anyone pay extra for the buggier experience?
The industry is really stupid if they’ll make everyone wait for sales.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Patch 1.0.8 Promises Loads of Fixes on PS5, But No Performance Boosts
I’m one of those people who need a constant 60fps for fast paced games to be able to play them at all. Did I really buy an expensive new console for all these dropped frames everywhere?
Re: Preview: As Uncharted Rests, Xbox Provides PS5 Adventure in Indiana Jones
I don’t want to BE Indiana Jones, I just want to see him.
3rd person would have made this one of my most anticipated games
Re: Hands On: Black Myth: Wukong PS5 Performance Isn't Perfect, But It's Perfectly Fine
Are we glad to hear it’s not worse… not sure. I really need my fast paced games to perform well, or I’ll just get sick. So if FF16 is a reference, that’s a BIG no for me.
Re: Trails through Daybreak (PS5) - A Strong Step Forward for Falcom's Fantastic RPG Series
I want to get into this series, but why does everything look so darn generic?

Re: Ex-Sony Boss Shawn Layden Explains How to Make Games Faster, Cheaper
Ok fine, I’m all for shorter games instead of bloated epics.
But then don’t make us pay 100€ per game by 2027.
Re: Underappreciated Action RPG Fate/Samurai Remnant Gets Its Final Slice of DLC This Week
It got repetitive really fast. So the last thing I ever needed was DLC. This would have been perfect as a 20 hour game.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2024?
Daxter getting so little love in the polls?
We don’t deserve good things.
Re: Astro Bot Has Over 150 PlayStation Character Cameos
I really wish it would just be its own thing. This makes it feel even more like a promo.
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Is Reportedly 'Real and Happening'
@PuppetMaster I don’t think being inspired by tactics was 16’s biggest problem. It was generic, too linear and not challenging enough.
Re: Slipknot's Clown, Eloy and New Guy Discuss Identity, Masks, and SMT V: Vengeance
Going to keep this spoiler free for now, but my compliments on that subtitle.
Re: Across Its Vaunted IP, Capcom Fans Crave Dino Crisis Above All Else
@LordAinsley Nah everyone loves dinosaurs and dino games are too thinly spread
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is an Unexpected But Very Pleasant Surprise
Yeah Uncharted is definitely next ❤️
Re: Square Enix Offers $30 Upgrade to Play Life is Strange: Double Exposure Two Weeks Early
@Hyena_socks This only continues because people buy into it
Re: Square Enix Offers $30 Upgrade to Play Life is Strange: Double Exposure Two Weeks Early
This is only a hint of what’s to come. In 10 years, gaming will only be for the richest.
Re: Breath of the Wild Meets Style Savvy in Whimsical PS5 Open World Infinity Nikki
Yeah this game definitely won’t look like that ‘gameplay’
Re: Multiple Square Enix Rumours Spread Like Wildfire Ahead of Summer Game Fest
Please be a turn based remake in one single chapter
Can’t figure out what they mean by a DQ trilogy. Is that 1-3 or 3-5?
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds, Astro Bot the Biggest PS5 Winners from State of Play
How I wish for a game that has the Monster Hunter concept, but with Ys VIII style fast paced action. The clunkiness of Monster Hunter kills it for me.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
I hated everything about Concord. It’s so generic it seems AI generated (from a “Guardians of the Galaxy style FPS” prompt).
Too many f2p games.
Too much uninspired fantasy.
Astro Bot looks fun, but it still looks like a free PS5 demo game, instead of being its own thing.
Re: Infinity Nikki PS5 Is the Open World Anime Dress-Up Game of Your Dreams
Is every game going to be f2p now? Just because of what market analysts said? This seems like a dangerous strategy as people who don’t play f2p games are usually quite passionate about hating them.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Gets First Gameplay, Looks Like the Evolution of World
And there goes my hope for a Monster Hunter game without clunky combat.
Re: PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out if Concord Is Free-to-Play
What they established in that short time was a perfect reproduction of bad acting and writing.
“Bring out the big guns”, seriously??
Oh and they just gender/species swapped every character from Guardians and it’s ridiculous.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Bringing New Details to Summer Game Fest
@NathanKang I feel you.
Hyper Light Breaker and Ys X as well for me.
Re: Family Friendly Level-5 Boss Would Love to Make Violent, Erotic Games
As long as the male and female bodies are sexualised in equal amounts, I say bring it on.
Re: Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide (PS5) - A Fantastic Sendoff for Square's Action RPG
@Nepp67 Well yeah if I pay 70€ for a game, they shouldn’t charge me extra for some leftovers. That feels like punishment for not waiting to buy the complete edition for the same price.
But go ahead and get screwed over by greedy companies if that’s your thing.

Re: Prepare for Fallout 4 PS5 with the PS Store Sale Live Now
I assumed all that DLC would be included in the PS5 version.
Re: Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide DLC Is Designed to Be More Challenging
Well it’s too late now. Already quit playing this halfway through because I’ve played Kirby games more challenging than this.
“Follow the marker and keep tapping square” should be the official strategy guide.
Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Out 25th April with New Modes and Content
@Mortal If you don’t own the PS4 version yet, it makes sense that you’d pay for the game, right?
Re: Despite Hype, Analyst Says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 'Underperforming'
Maybe the milking is reaching its saturation point. I loved this world when I first played it, but the endless spin-offs and re-releases have taken away much of the magic.

Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Out 25th April with New Modes and Content
@LifeGirl @Mortal Did you notice the ‘free’ part?
Re: No Baldur's Gate 3 DLC from Larian Studios, and It's Not Making Baldur's Gate 4 Either
They made dusty, generic medieval European fantasy feel fresh again. Now I’d like them to do the same to sci-fi.
And please make more gamepad oriented controls
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction
@NightshadeNL Yeah and FF16 wasn’t going to have any updates and DLC yet here we are.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
@Kienda I have been excited for these games for many years. But I’m just burnt out. There’s so many other Final Fantasy universes they could have explored.

Re: Persona Dev's New RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio Looks Amazing, Hits PS5, PS4 in Fall 2024
@Dragoon1994 Yes and I’m very excited 😊
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
I just can’t get excited about the 9999th game in this universe.
Re: Could SMT 5: Vengeance Be the Long-Awaited PS5, PS4 Port?
@ZhuckelDror If anything deserves a ‘re’ it’s this one. I loved it on switch but the frame rate gave me a headache.
Re: Ubisoft CEO Defends Skull and Bones Premium $70 Pricetag, Insists It's 'AAAA' Quality
Naughty Dog and Insomniac, those are AAAA studios.
There are many indie games that look more polished than AC Mirage.
Re: Sounds Like Naughty Dog's Next Game Won't Be The Last of Us 3
As much as I love Jak & Daxter, I’m more excited to see something new. A sci-fi action adventure with a colourful art style like Crash & Jak would be a dream come true.
Re: NieR, Dark Souls, and Anime Meet in New PS5 Game AI Limit

Re: Of Course Full Price Remake Persona 3 Reload Has a Full Spread of Day One DLC
I wish DLC would just disappear forever. Instead we’ll have a very frustrating gaming future.
