Recently played a big chunk of shadows. I enjoyed it but the modern day stuff is still stupid and there was a severe lack of variety in activities. Bring back hunting and gathering in the wilderness
99% of the wilderness in shadows is completely empty, and just something you sprint through to get to the next thing. That double sucks because the woods and stuff themselves are super well made
That's the reason it's taken so long to get re-releases of the 3 Onimusha games, one of which we're still not getting (because of jean reno) because of likenesses
No status effects besides a couple buffs. No elemental weaknesses. Only one weapon type. Giant empty world. No agency or even stats for party members. No traditional spells in the FF spirit. Items very loosely based on FF. Awful side content
The main quest was sometimes interesting and cool stuff did happen, but this very much was not a final fantasy game. It shares the name, a few summons, a few themes, but that's it. The 7 remakes have been far more like FF despite being action than this was
I would do up to 600 and that would itself be in like 3 or 4 years. I feel zero need for a new PlayStation, especially with this gen being so slow and empty

Re: HD-2D PS5 RPG Final Fantasy Resonance Is Looking Great in This New Gameplay Trailer
Excited for this one. It's what I wanted BE to be in the first place
Not as excited about the ghost heroes crap, but I guess they had those gatcha systems already, and had to do something with them
Re: Avowed 2 May Still Happen, Obsidian Skeleton Crew Continues Work
Based on their last few games I don't have high hopes for their new fallout

Why don't more games shoot for 40

Either way I want my 3 remaster
Re: Tencent Looking to Offload Game Dev Investments, Even at a Loss
Does anyone else just completely tune out when they read a corporate statement?
Re: 'It May Seem Like We're Only Doing It for Attention': Stranger Than Heaven Dev Discusses Celebrity Castings, Including Tupac
@PuppetMaster hey, I'm angry about it
That's the reason it's taken so long to get re-releases of the 3 Onimusha games, one of which we're still not getting (because of jean reno) because of likenesses
So yeah it pisses me. Mildly

Re: Uproar as Halo PS5 Demands 2 PS Plus Subscriptions for Local Co-Op
That is wild lmao
Re: This Onimusha: Way of the Sword Retail Listing Is Making People Think It's Launching Early
Would probably be wise to release early
Also it'd make me happy and that's mainly what I care about
Re: Opinion: This PS5 Magic Shooter Has Been the Perfect Summer Distraction
Tried it but couldn't get into it. I played it after Wizordum which had blown my socks off
Re: PS5's State of Decay 3 Looks to Have All the Ingredients for Success
The first two were fun. Jank is just a part of it
Re: Opinion: PS Plus Users, You Should Play Final Fantasy 16 (But Only If You Play It Like This)
This is what I remember about the game
No status effects besides a couple buffs. No elemental weaknesses. Only one weapon type. Giant empty world. No agency or even stats for party members. No traditional spells in the FF spirit. Items very loosely based on FF. Awful side content
The main quest was sometimes interesting and cool stuff did happen, but this very much was not a final fantasy game. It shares the name, a few summons, a few themes, but that's it. The 7 remakes have been far more like FF despite being action than this was

Headline made me think it was actually Dino crisis. That's disappointing
Re: Mina the Hollower (PS5) - Masterpiece for Many, But Not for Me
I'm enjoying it a lot. The modifiers really make it easier to get the difficulty right where you want it
Biggest issue in my opinion is that this game DESPERATELY needs a map and it's baffling that it doesn't have one
