Re: Will Dragon Quest XI on PS4 Get the New Nintendo Switch Content? Square Enix Hasn't Decided Yet

StephenYap3

I'm having hopes for the other versions to get the Switch's features. I'd hate to see hatred going about for those who opted for the earlier versions.

At the same time, though, most of my gaming time is spent outside of my house nowadays (at least, going by weekdays) and because I have a Switch, it's the best bet for me to being able to play any game anywhere, and DQ XI is no different for me.

Re: Round Up: Jump Force PS4 Reviews Bring the Manga Mash-Up Down to Earth

StephenYap3

Eh, I'm not too bothered by the scores (though I'm pretty sure there are far worse games than Jump Force, The Sixth Axis) since the Custom Character portion sold me on the product already, plus I've had a fair amount of history with some of the series represented here. This is going to be my first Jump video game, so whether or not it ends up being bad, I can't imagine Jump Force being worse than SNK Heroines or Touhou Kabuto V, even. THOSE fighting games were bad, no question.

Re: Insomniac Games Celebrates 25 Years of Great Games

StephenYap3

Gotta hand it to Insomniac. They've made some good stuff throughout those years and they're the main reason I've stuck with Sony throughout all my years of gaming. Their Spider Man game also wowed me.

All that said, hopefully Insomniac has a brand new non-reboot Ratchet & Clank game headed our way soon. I've been itching for a new one since Into the Nexus.

Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ Deluxe Edition Announced for Japan, Includes All DLC Characters on PS4

StephenYap3

@FullbringIchigo Thank you.

It's not to say that FighterZ was bad since I did enjoy it, but I wish it would've been better as a Dragon Ball game. The game's art style and presentation does bring itself closer to the franchise, but the limited roster and stage selection does bring it down considerably for me, not to mention that the removal of full-on aerial combat made it less of a Dragon Ball game than it needed to be. Now, while I would say that Xenoverse 2 is much better in my honest opinion, I don't regret FighterZ for one bit.

Re: Review: Warriors All-Stars (PS4)

StephenYap3

Eh, I'm actually having a blast with it. Just beaten Sophie's story and I'm still playing the side quests and stuff. The game is evenly-paced for me and having all these playable characters (30 of them? Whoa, man. I don't think I'll get through them all! lol) gives me every incentive to replay the game further and further. It doesn't peak to the likes of Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U for me, but I know that I definitely enjoyed this much more than Dragon Quest Heroes 1 (It was a good game, but the combat felt sluggish for me and the RPG elements felt way too phoned in, not to mention damage sponge enemies, which I hate so much).

I definitely agree with the problems, such as the annoying backtracking in side missions, making missions more of a trial-and-error and weak ally AI, but neither of that were enough to ruin the game for me. I never had a problem with the story or the framerate (Hyrule Warriors on Wii U was at a much lower framerate for me and that still became my favorite Warriors title).

Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of April 2017

StephenYap3

Personally, I'm not really much interested in most of the things this month for the PS4. Just waiting for Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy...

Wow, Cosmic Star Heroine finally has a release date!? I haven't been following much on this game since its announcement, but I have been interested in it and I can't wait to see what it is like. Yes, Push Square...I'm hoping it lives up to what it intends to be.

Yooka-Laylee, as much as I want it, is a toss-up between PS4 and Switch for me, though if what I hear about the Switch having lower framerate turns out to be true, then I guess PS4 for me.

I'm getting Lego City Undercover and Puyo Puyo Tetris for Switch.

Re: Poll: Will Your PS4 Gather Dust Now the Nintendo Switch Is Out?

StephenYap3

Until Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy crashes into the store shelves, I'll be busy with my Switch in the meantime, thanks to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Bomberman R, among other games for it coming out such as Puyo Puyo Tetris, Lego City Undercover, and such. But even with all those games coming, it's too early for me to say whether the Switch trounces the PS4 or not...at least before Super Mario Odyssey hits the scene, which I will be getting without a doubt. PS4 on the go isn't really needed, but it would be a nice bonus.

Re: Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2

StephenYap3

This is pretty much the only Neptunia game I enjoyed. Its battle system left a very fond experience for me as it struck the dead-center spot between fun and strategic. Being given an AP gauge to gauge how much attacks the character can throw at the enemy was so satisfying and replenishing SP through hits is a big plus (and why the Victory battle system threw this out the window just baffles me). Sure, there were some frustrating moments, but nothing too bothersome like its later entries for me.
