35 hours in, i'm enjoying it alot. I do agree the game was surprisingly difficult early on. Thankfully the devs are planning to update with a Exp-share type item we can craft.
Presently, its abit too tedious to get new Nexomon to level up because enemies scale with your higher level ones.
So glad its done well in Japan. Only people complaining about the game i've seen are western media who are still butthurt its doing better fan reception wise and sales than Last of Us 2. And it didn't even need to push agendas either.
Been a fan of Playstation since PS2. Loved the brand but very disappointed by Sony in recent years, ever since they moved headquaters and became more Western focused.
Japanese games were what appealed me to the brand and its annoying to see them backstab japanese devs with unnecessary censorship. Hopefully they reverse this nonsense.
Might finally be more than just the show where E3 leftovers are shown. Looking forward to it getting more premieres, especially with E3 losing big players like Sony.
This terrible and i don't wanna diminish how bad it is for anyone to be taking high level drugs like that, but i don't see a justification for halting the entire distribution of a game/movie/whatever over the actions of one actor.
Especially since most westerners wouldn't have even known about this incident prior to buying the game. Then again, maybe i'm just desensitized due to how many hollywood actors get caught with drugs regularly and still have careers.
This month's content isn't that remarkable to me outside of the increased storage. But i am looking forward to next month.
I'm curious if dropping PS3 and Vita will increase the quality of PS4 free games or not. I could just as easily see us continuing to get mediocrity while Sony saves money.
I'm considering getting Starlink, either the $35 physical from walmart of the $45 digital on psn.
Wish the PSN black Friday had an additional PS Plus discount to help sweeten the deals more but still better than paying the full $60 for the game, which i think was overpriced.
Kinda surprised, especially after hearing Red Dead 2 Broke opening weekend records and only surprised by GTA 5.
But as you pointed out, it had less days in October. I'd be curious to see the end of the year ranking. Though i'm sure both Black Ops 4 and Red Dead 2 will be in the top two spots regardless.
Also i'm really happy with how successful Red Dead Redemption 2 has been. It means single player experiences are not dead and can still make alot of money.
I generally hate these console exclusive timed dlc, especially in AAA titles that are already guaranteed to be best sellers. Like how much money does Rockstar need?
Anyway, the dlc itself seems pretty meh at least. Not as important as a map pack or something, which i suppose is worse to be timed exclusive.

Re: Brand New Sonic Movie Trailer Officially Reveals the Hedgehog's Improved Look
Sonic looks incredible!!
Re: Cat Quest II - Simple But Satisfying RPG Fun That Shines in Co-Op
Loved the original. Fun gameplay and nice platinum. Glad to hear sequel is great as well.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble Is Much More Than a Simple Action Game Spin-Off, It Seems
Weirdly i was already sold on it just being DW with Persona 5 coat of paint but this sounds even better.
Re: Vegeta, Complete with His 'Badman' Shirt, Is Playable in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
Very nice fan service. Just wish Funimation wasn't attached to this game.
Re: DuckTales Remastered Demonstrates the Dangers of Digital with Delisting
God i'm NOT looking forward to the 'All Digital Future' games publishers have been dreaming of for years now.
Not with these games being removed from digital stores randomly like this. Its crazy.
Re: Feature: Is EA Access Worth It on PS4?
I like the $5 price tag but without backwards compatibility like on Xbox, the current game lineup sucks imo.
Re: A Third Ni no Kuni Game Is Now in Development
Very awesome. I loved the first two games. Looking forward to replaying the first game with that remaster.
Hopefully i'll platinum it this time.
Re: Tifa's Chest Size Reduced in Final Fantasy VII Remake Per Square Enix Ethics Department Request
Wow, so it wasn't Sony's fault for once.
Re: Super Neptunia RPG - Only You Can Save the Gamindustri
I plan to rent this. I have generally enjoyed most Neptunia titles, so i'm sure i'll have fun with this.
Re: E3 2019: Final Fantasy VII Remake Trailer Shows Tifa for the First Time, Sephiroth Speaks
Very nice. I love Tifa's design. Doesn't look like they nerfed her assets much either. lol
Re: E3 2019: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Brings the Life of Goku to PS4 in Early 2020
Game looks amazing. I'm looking forward to it. Hoping its as fun as Legacy of Goku series was back on GBA.
Re: Even the Ocean Swims Ashore on PS4 Soon
The game's art design is adorable. Will keep an eye on this.
Re: Yakuza Director Looks to Focus on PS4 'For a While Longer' Even After PS5 Launches
This is great news. I personally have no plans or interest in upgrading to a PS5 anytime soon, especially with how Sony has been acting recently.
So the more games i can continue playing on the console i have, the better.
Re: Gamescom, the 'E3 of Europe', Is Getting Its Own Live Announcement Show This Year
Might finally be more than just the show where E3 leftovers are shown.
Looking forward to it getting more premieres, especially with E3 losing big players like Sony.
Re: PS Plus Is Offering More and You May Not Realise It
I don't really care about discounts on other programs. The only thing PS Plus is useful to me for is discounts on games or free games.
Re: Sony Not Yet Ready to Talk About PS5 Price, Games, or Services
$400 was the sweet spot. But seeing how arrogant Sony has been in recent years, i could easily see the next console going for $500.
Re: Sony Has Just Revealed the PS5, Not Launching This Year
Specs sound remarkable but as long as Japanese game censorship is still their priority, i'm taking a hard pass on the PS5.
Re: Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World - A Light and Breezy Town Building Adventure
Currently playing my second playthrough. Sadly failed task 8 on my first go. Hoping i do better next time.
Re: Diablo-Like, Free-to-Play Action RPG Path of Exile Has Arrived on PS4
A free Diablo like experience? I'm in!
Re: PS4 Referenced in EA Access Source Code, Adding Fuel to the Fire
Glad Sony may finally get the stick out of their butt and give consumers choice.
PS Now was no replacement for this, imo.
Re: Rumour: Sony in Advanced Board Level Discussions to Acquire Take Two
With how prudish Sony has become, i hope not.

Re: Yes, This Is Apparently Sonic in the Sonic the Hedgehog Live Action Movie
Dear god no. That is disturbing.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: A Big Week for PS4 Sees Jump Force, Catherine, and More Break Top 10
Jump Force honestly did better than i expected. Especially considering some of the issues i heard with the performance of the game.
But Shonen is huge.
Re: Sony Didn't Forget the PS3 on Valentine's Day as System Gets New Firmware Update
I'm kinda surprised its even getting this firmware update. I'd be curious to know how many people are still regularly using that system.
My PS3 has been collecting dust for 3 and a half years now i think.
Re: Round Up: Jump Force PS4 Reviews Bring the Manga Mash-Up Down to Earth
I plan to Gamefly rent it. Not a big fighting game fan but i like Shonen Jump and want to play the single player.
Re: Sony Confirms February 2019 PS Plus Is the Final Update for PS3 and Vita

Re: Netflix Is Reportedly Producing a Resident Evil TV Series
Netflix couldn't even give gamers a full day to enjoy Resident Evil 2 before they announce they plan a crappy adaptation of the franchise.
Re: Guide: Resident Evil 2 - Should You Choose Leon or Claire's Campaign First?
Thanks for this. I decided to start with Claire first.
Re: Dead or Alive 6 Can't Shed Hyper-Sexualisation Or Fans Will Leave
Great to hear. I wish these Japanese publishers would push back against Sony's prudish policies more. It benefits no one.
Re: Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Load Is Available Now on PS4
I'll likely get the retail copy but nice to see they are allowing preloads a week in advance.
It does make me a little more tempted to go digital, just to stare at the game on my harddrive for a couple days. lol
Re: Guide: Jump Force Open Beta Test - Dates, Times, and Characters
These timed schedules are a headache. Just leave the server on the entire weekend like most other betas.
Re: A Dragon Ball Action RPG Is In Development
Really excited for this. Hopefully as good as those Legacy of Goku action rpg games on GBA.
Re: Jump Force Open Beta Test Available for Pre-Load Now on PS4
Thanks! Though i hate that Namco has these scheduled time slots instead of just leaving the beta open the entire period like most other betas.
Re: Guide: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Combat Tips and Other Tricks for New Players
Thank you so much for the tips. Looking forward to starting this game tomorrow morning.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Dante Battle Theme Altered After Singer's Sexual Manipulation Allegations
This is disturbing. I don't think his vocals were vital, so i don't blame Capcom at all for dropping him quickly after allegations like that.
Re: Guide: Best PS4 Black Friday 2018 Deals USA
I'm considering getting Starlink, either the $35 physical from walmart of the $45 digital on psn.
Wish the PSN black Friday had an additional PS Plus discount to help sweeten the deals more but still better than paying the full $60 for the game, which i think was overpriced.
Re: Winnie the Pooh Is in Kingdom Hearts III Now
Awesome! The 100 Acre Woods were so fun to visit in the previous KingdomHearts games.
I'm such a sucker for Pooh Bear.
Re: PlayStation Store Sales Charts: RDR2 Can't Beat Black Ops 4

Re: Dragon Quest XI Breaks 4 Million Copies Worldwide, But Japan Still Counts for at Least 75% of Sales
They made the right decision making it on PS4, instead of limited to nintendo like so many of the Post DQ 8 titles.
Re: Is This Our First Look at Red Dead Redemption 2's Dual Discs?
This is pretty crazy but as long as the actual game installation process isn't too long, i'm fine with it.
Re: Rise to Internet Stardom with Youtubers Life: OMG Edition on PS4
looks kind of adorable but doubt i'll ever play it.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's PS4 Exclusive Content Shown Off

Anyway, the dlc itself seems pretty meh at least. Not as important as a map pack or something, which i suppose is worse to be timed exclusive.
Re: SoulCalibur VI - The Best Since SoulCalibur II
I'm mostly excited for the single player content.
Re: Part 2 of SoulCalibur Documentary Puts SoulCalibur VI in the Spotlight
I'm so looking forward to this game. Not even really a huge online fighting game fan but this looks like it will have great single player content.
