Even Square Enix must admit that fights in FF16 or FF7R is one huge mess that is not fun to play at all, rather pretty annoying. Milions of effects and flashes, but you absolutely don't know what is happening.
If Xbox turn more to PC I'm in. I really don't care much about graphics and if new Xbox is able to run GOG there is plenty of games for few pennies and that endless struggle to connect notebook to TV by cables all over the room ends...
I think transition from turn-based combat to realtime chaos was not a good move. Also some locations are too big to keep good flow of story. I've enjoyed it, but I rather run FF7 original than FF15 or 16.
@PuppetMaster Yes, I cannot say nothing against facts. Also fact is, lots of players were "stolen" from SP to MP by free to play concept. Lots of poor children got game for "free" so why they should buy game? And that changed mentality of customers so their wallets are rather sliced like gyros than asked for full price. Also development of MP is easier because you don't care about story. Main problem around MP is it's way more risky, because results are shown quick. MP players don't care if game is fixed sometime in future, they want it now and if not, game dies immediately. But if SP game is made properly, it may be milking cow too (look at TLoU, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Diablo 2, Final Fantasy...) it is only about passion. If you have passion you can make unique MP games like Helldivers 2 or Space Marine 2, but if you think only about money, you end up with Concord, Marathon or Failgames... ehm ...Fairgames.
BTW lots of popular MP have also strong SP content.
@PuppetMaster Difference is, SP games are expected to be one time wonder. So after completion you need to buy another. MPs are (delusionaly) expected to last for long time. So no completion and therefore no need to buy another game. Result - when SP bombs it rises elbows but at least you are safe relatively, when MP bombs, people want money back because your product is absolutely useless. Yes, when MP NOT-bomb it is miracle, but still requires maintenance, ergo more money. MP world has reached it's peak long time ago and it is only about dragging players from corner to corner. SP is about attracting as much as you can, but you are not limited by time. For example I bought KC:D 1 yesterday and I still can play it. Would I want to buy for example Friday 13th? Hardly...
Casino always wins. And SONY is betting, and betting... and betting... how much will you bet in hope for any win? Your savings? Your house? Your car? I stopped buying games on playstation at all until this gambling madness stops.
@Suppressed and that would be same mistake again! If you want Genshin Impact money you have to make absolutely different game that all other "milking cows"
How long will pre-orderers and day one buyers be whining they are beta testers? You allowed them to release these half-baked breads! So stop pre-order!!!
Did you noted they screwed button order? R1 and 2 is left and L1 and 2 is on the right. L3 and R3 are correct. I accidentaly swap directions often, so for me is this pure hell.
YouTube reactions is one huge theatre performance. Please don't say you believe all reactions there are true or sincere. It is all overperformed and absolutely false. Wake up people, you cannot take this seriously...
I really want so see if hundereds of thousands discs with this flop quietly lie in some dusty storage or some landfill where workers throwing it into chipper...
You forgot to mention a few months earlier they started to steal your hard earned points every year, so those occasional buyers or singleplayerists won't reach nothing!

Re: Sony Hasn't Given Up on Adding More PS3 Games to PS Plus Yet
I don't like that model, where any content is provided only for limited time. That is why I even don't think about it.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025 Announced
D4 is fun for first walkthrough, unfortunately it completely misses any need for replaying or trying different character.
