An 8 is a great news after their last two back-to-back flops with Anthem and Andromeda.

It's been a long while since I'm actually looking forward to Bioware's game but I can't wait till the 31st for this. Thanks for the early review!

Ah *****, I was really looking forward to this. I knew something was wrong when Kiryu said he wanted to be "the dragon" in the last trailer, when the actual Kiryu felt suffocated by that title and it was mentioned several times throughout the series.

This is what happened when your let your hubris ruin another great franchise.

A polished ***** is still *****.

My PS Stars still gone from my PS App. It's amazing how incompetent Sony handling this.

Are these guys ***** serious???

Damn, that looks good. Unfortunate that it's Japan only.

"Is that a big beautiful horn in your pocket or are you just that happy to see me?"

Metaphor's ending accomplished both being complete and open to a sequel. I can't wait to see what they're cooking next.

Great news, because an open world like this, I usually play it on my PC.

Why does it need a DLC? I finished the game and the story was complete. It was a perfect way to end Peter Parker with a great segue the next part of the story with Miles and the symbiote wars.

Some gamers really need to ***** chill sometimes.

People have been asking for a Black Flag sequel and Yakuza grabbed it.

Yakuza: Black Flag!~

As a FALCOM fan, this is a really good read. I especially like the insight he gave on both the differences and similarities between western and japanese JRPG players. It is especially true that the older I get, the more I resonated with Vaan's story being the "older person" of the group.

I also love the fact that he's staying true to his visions that Trails will always remain the primary turn-based title of their IPs.

Also this snippet right here:

"The first thing I felt was... boy it's difficult to end a series! We got so good at thinking about how to continue the series that we never kind of had a chance to stop and think about "okay, how are we supposed to end this thing?"

I specifically told the team, "okay guys, we really need to come up with an ending!"

I want to come up with an ending that will satisfy us, as the developers, and also, it's obviously incredibly important to come up with an ending that's going to satisfy the players as well. Particularly those players who stayed with the series for 20 years, and have waited a long time to see how the series is going to end."

This made me really happy as I've been following this series from the beginning and I can't wait to see how they wrap it up.

Damn, it's been 20 years.

This game now has more ***** drama than the Autumn line-ups for tvN.

It's one of the best-looking JRPG that wasn't made by a J studio, I'm absolutely looking forward to it.

How are people so bad at reading the article?

This is just a PHYSICAL sales in UK Market.

See this paragraph:
"As is always the case with the UK charts, we must underline this only represents a small portion of the market. Recently, it was reported that an enormous 75% of British game sales are now sold digitally, so you’re looking at roughly 25% of the market here."

So it doesn't really paint a picture on how a title is performing.

Finally we're only a game away with the Japanese

Absolutely. For their first foray into a fantasy sword and sorcery settings, ATLUS absolutely killed it with Metaphor.

The archetype system is really fun to mess around with as I'm a sucker of mixing and matching abilities to make the perfect class of my party. And the charming and relatable characters are surprisingly still present albeit being a fantasy settings. The demo doesn't do it justice as just like every other ATLUS titles before, Metaphor doesn't really shine well till you finished the first dungeon and actually get out of the first city. The new exploration and travel mechanic was such a joy to experience.

I have to say it's also the darkest ATLUS story yet, especially for a JRPG standard. Some of the bond stories and dialogues absolutely made me ugly cried.

And you bet I will get the enhanced or whatever definitive edition they'll be releasing to follow up this game. Hopefully Metaphor will be one of their permanent IPs next to SMT and Persona, because they truly have a gem here.

@themightyant right??? I'm looking forward to the next world and the next God we'll be facing because this is such a long beach episode.

@get2sammyb I'm a sucker for eastern aesthetics.

Ugh, I love Luofu settings and really couldn't care less about going back to Penacony.

It's been a while since I woke up earlier to get some gaming time before work, but that was absolutely worth it. Just finished the first dungeon and Archetype system is a lot more fun than Persona system so far. I love being able to mix and match everyone.

If there's anything more annoying than this overrated developer, it's his "fans"

@Shad361 you really can't see the difference between XBOX marketing a well established IP like Yakuza and Persona compared to a brand new game like this one?

Yakuza and Persona were born and grew with PlayStation, no JRPG players in the right mind would think that that these two titles would ever be an XBOX "Exclusive".

It can't be said the same with Metaphor which is a completely brand new IP.

I said it in other articles covering this that the marketing rights with XBOX was probably the stupidest thing ATLUS has done. It's amazing how short their reach is for JRPGs that even my close circle of friends who are actually always look forward to ATLUS games felt blindsided on how unaware they are about this game.

When majority of Japanese players also still think that this is an XBOX "exclusive" due to your poor marketing, that's on you.

Hopefully they'll learn their lesson after this. XBOX is where JRPG goes to die, so good thing it's a multiplatform release.

I completed Metaphor demo and it did exactly what it intended to do. Made me craving more to see what else was in the story as the prologue absolutely captivated me.

Definitely Metaphor, YSX, and Romancing Saga 2. Will get Veilguard on PC.

Simple, games just don't sell on XBOX. Their market shares keep getting smaller and smaller since they simply couldn't even penetrate the Asian market for years, no matter what they do.

Becoming a publisher like SEGA did would be the right move, when your leader himself even admitted that XBOX already lost the console wars and couldn't recover.

Why the hell are we still taking whatever this moron saying as "news"? This is the same guy that tried to have exclusivities on PC with EGS only to still not making any profit out of the storefront, still feature lacking, and now most of his exclusive partners have run back to Steam.

Actually made me wonder what their budget is if they managed to hire Hans Zimmer to compose the soundtrack. The guy is not cheap.

Nah, this title has soured the experience for me even before its release. I'm not gonna bother with this game.

Good. They needed this after their sheer hubris with their latest games and the audacity of calling it to Gamers to "get used on not owning your games"

Ubisoft needs a massive overhaul. Their brand is so tainted now that I doubt any games would want to touch anything from them again. The Guillemot brothers need to go.

Absolutely schadenfreude moment that I can't stop grinning while reading this article.

I honestly never understand the appeal of these games but clearly they're successful enough to keep churning out sequels.

Holy ***** I'm absolutely hyped for this game. They're just flexing the amount of soldiers on screen now with absolutely 0 slowdown.

Ghost of Yotei, easy. I was falling asleep till they dropped that trailer.

@Dragon83 I'm genuinely curious about this. I Plat'd GOT and its expansion Iki Island.

Jin's story was completed with a very satisfying conclusion and all the dots checked. SP told his story and ended where it should be without any unnecessary padding. That's the consensus for the GOT as far as I can tell.

Where do you think it's incomplete and where should it go?

@jrt87 ***** absolutely. I got the exact same goosebumps and excitements as I did when they first revealed Ghost of Tsushima.

Can't wait to dress Atsu as my female ronin with her legendary tosei gusoku while doing a blade dance with her Niten Ichi-ryū combat style.

Let's ***** go!!

I'm with him on this one.

Let SP cook, and sit down.

The title finally coming back to Steam as well. They should follow suit with EA and remove their stupid launcher requirements. Nobody likes your UPlay, Ubisoft!

@PloverNutter Oh man, Yotei will absolutely dominate in sales. I got the exact same goosebumps and excitements just like when they announced Ghost of Tsushima for the first time ever. Sucker Punch really nailed the blade combat in this series so it will be a D1 for me.

Also did I read that right? Ubisoft finally admits that they needed Steam more than Steam needs them????

The Ghost of Yotei claimed her first kill. Probably unrelated but the timing couldn't be more comical.

After the last game disappointment, I absolutely am looking forward to this one. Hopefully it runs well on PS5.

We're still not pursuing Lu Bu.

Literally the bomb drop that saved the show for me. Was absolutely tuning out till this came to the screen.

Ghost of Yotei saved the entire show for me! Literally was tuning out for the rest of it till the end. Way to end it on a high note, Sony.

@jorel262 No, it's an actual game.

Absolutely fantastic game on Switch limited by its hardware. Will definitely be getting it on PS5 where it belongs.

Probably the least excited I ever am for this show. More remasters news??

Good. Please do. After FF7 Rebirth, Nomura should stay in design where he belongs because not every story needs to be a ***** Kingdom Hearts.

He's not gonna be missed.

Tried the demo and immediately dropped it after the tutorial, that graphic was rough. Was this game originally pitched for PS2 or something and they just got the funding now?
