8/10. Was great but to me was never something out of the extraordinary. The story was ok, but a lot the the character development in terms of you becoming a ghost felt “disconnected” from the story, for me at least.
Only about midway through Trials in the Sky SC, but guess there’s no rush to get to the end of Cold Steel series as I want the whole experience. Nihon Falcom is slowly becoming one of my favourite developer, and their music is awesome!
@Blacksmith1985 I like the combat in Valhalla, albeit it’s not amazing or anything. It is a bit generic, but I found it fine for this type of game. I’ve never played Dark Souls, only a bit of Bloodborne, so I couldn’t tell - I do think though that the general consensus would be that DS has better combat.
Fell off the first time playing HZD but am currently giving it another go. I really like it, but otherwise don’t see what’s so special about it. To me Sony first party games are generally great, but they’re also mostly 8/10 kind of games for me.
Played it for about 20 hours, but didn’t really click for me. Then after a while I decided to return and decided to play in Japanese. For some reason it suddenly clicked, and I like it much bette now. Also, if anyone’s played Steins;Gate, main character VO voices Ryuji in the Japanese which instantly increased my liking towards the game too!
As someone who doesn’t have a particularly great pc, never had an Xbox, don’t really care about 4K/no 4K tv at the moment anyway - I’ll get the Series S. PlayStation still have superior exclusives - and I believe they’ll continue to do so in the future - but I’ll wait for an eventual PS5 Slim, and in the meantime get me a “Netflix” gaming maschine until then.
Anything Red Dead or GTA, I’ll happily splash my cash at launch. Otherwise, I’ll wait. Sad for us Europeans. In Denmark, games prices are already nearly 70 usd at launch for physical copies. PS Store is a joke as new games are already about 80 usd. Also, the pattern has become quite clear in recent years. Wait about 3-4 months, and games go on sale + they have been patched during that time.
Series S along with gamepass and now EA Play has really caught my interest. While I’ll get PS5 eventually I think it’s time for something new. Xbox S price point and services really entice me and unless PS5 completely blows me away with cheaper version and overhaul of PS Now+Plus, I’m just not interested. PlayStation are exclusives king, but what Microsoft offers is really impressive.
Crash Trilogy. I’ve seen it several times that a prequel of a games was released as Plus the month before or even the same, so would be plausible. Otherwise Yakuza 3-5 trilogy, but probably too early yet
I love how “Virtual Sim” is being branded as something new when Fifa09 back on the wii had pretty a similar feature, but has been non-existent ever since.

Re: Uncharted's Amy Hennig, Gary Whitta Are Writing PS5's Forspoken
Looks interesting, but the dialogue seemed weird. If I eventually get a PS5 I might be interested, but would consider playing in Japanese

Re: Horizon Forbidden West on PS5, PS4 Is 'More of the Things People Loved About Zero Dawn'
@GREGORIAN
Yeah, I like all those games, but don’t agree. But to each their own, and that’s great.
