We only have ourselves to blame for the price gouging. If we keep on buying such consoles and games at ridiculous prices, the companies will take advantage of that and keep on gouging, which is the notion of a capitalist society.
This is the residual effect of the Game Pass business model not working. Also surprised that the Xbox execs including Phil have not been fired given what’s happened so far.
Seems like a sign of weakness to delay albeit being a new IP. Also, delaying to February will not help its cause given that games such as Persona 3 Reload, FF7 Rebirth, and Granblue Fantasy Relink are coming out that same month.
To disregard most of the Japanese audience who really don't own Xbox consoles would be the most idiotic thing Atlus would do. Therefore, I don't believe it to be an Xbox exclusive.
Given the quite expensive nature of the Pixel Remasters as a bundle for the time being, I think I'll have a go at it again with the PSP versions of I, II, and IV for the time being since they actually look better (the sprites have been re-worked), not to mention the fact that IV is the Complete Collection version.
I was actually looking forward to this game. The mixed reviews have somewhat dampened my spirits for it though. I guess I'll wait until there's a huge discount on it.

Windows Central is not journalism. Period.

Re: Remember Acclaim? Well, It's Back in More Than Just Pog Form
I remember the moniker Hakklaim given its awful brand quality.

Tone deaf devs really can ruin a game
Re: Advance Wars-Influenced Warside Closing in on PS5, PS4 Release Date
Influenced was not the word I was looking for. More like shameless ripoff.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 568
Yakuza Pirates demo
Re: PS Plus Subscriptions on Sale, Up to 35% Off
As someone who has a huge backlog of unfinished games, I personally don’t see the need to upgrade.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 564
Witcher 3 and Lost Judgment
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 563
Lost Judgment. I’m on a RGG high.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 562
Yakuza Like a Dragon. I want to get into Infinite Wealth soon.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Immediately Tops 1 Million Sales at Launch
I was worried that the Xbox marketing would hinder sales but evidently an excellent game is an excellent game. Well done, Atlus.
Re: Stellar Blade's NieR: Automata Colab Only Happening Because Yoko Taro Loves Money
Well, at least it’s only the truth comes out from him…
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed on PS5 Until 14th February
It’s not just learning from Outlaws but also being humbled by the steep nosedive in their stock price. Welcome to reality, Ubisoft.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered PS5 Is Official, Out 31st October with $10 PS4 to PS5 Upgrade
Alright, they can sucker me in for 10 bucks.
Re: Poll: Have You Pre-Ordered an Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller?
I preordered 2 of them lol
Re: Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Is a Full $60 Release on PS5
I expected this to be a $60 game. Not really surprised here.
Re: New PS5, PS4 Passkey Feature Means You Don't Have to Remember Your Password Anymore
Will this still work for older systems like the PS3 and Vita?
Re: Sand Land Gameplay Overview Is Our Best Look at the PS5, PS4 Adventure Yet
This looks better than I imagined. Looking forward to the reviews on it…hope they’re good.
Re: Free Rise of the Ronin PS5 Avatars Available Now
A bit shocked to see that one of the characters is called Matthew Perry….seriously?
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Update Available Now, Here Are All the Patch Notes
Can’t wait for the NG+ update - bring it on!
Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden Started Out as DLC for Infinite Wealth
And is that why we won’t be able to get a physical disc for this game? Ugh
Re: PS5 Versions for Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 Coming 16th February
NIS is so guilty of reiterating these Falcom games just for more $$$.
Guys, keep your PS4 versions and don’t buy these “new” ones.
Re: PS5 Slim Officially Unveiled, Attachable Disc Drive, Launches November
This is more consumer friendly given that the digital version provides a disc upgrade when one chooses to.
Re: Pac-Man Goes Battle Royale in Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs
Quite a mouthful for a title.
Re: Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Banished from 2023 to Avoid Tidal Wave of Releases
Seems like a sign of weakness to delay albeit being a new IP. Also, delaying to February will not help its cause given that games such as Persona 3 Reload, FF7 Rebirth, and Granblue Fantasy Relink are coming out that same month.
Re: Pretty Tactical RPG Unicorn Overlord Announced for PS5, PS4
This looks amazing! Vanillaware is back again!
Re: Stunning Smartphone Spin-Off Assassin's Creed: Codename Jade Skewers Closed Beta
Why is this covered in Push Square though? This is a mobile game and the editors are including it just because of the sexy AC name.
Re: There's Already Concern Over Crash Team Rumble's Future
Chasing $$$ by going live-service is an epic fail. Especially when a series such as Crash was single-player to begin with.
Re: Star Ocean The Second Story R Adopts a Bold Visual Style on PS5, PS4
I'm pleasantly surprised that a physical release is actually happening! The new look works for me, can't wait!
Re: Xbox Had Embargoed Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio After All, as Fantasy RPG Is Confirmed for PS5, PS4
Kerfluff over nothing apparently. Japanese studios like Atlus don't ignore their target market, especially over JRPGs.
Re: There's Growing Concern Over Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio Being an Xbox Exclusive
To disregard most of the Japanese audience who really don't own Xbox consoles would be the most idiotic thing Atlus would do. Therefore, I don't believe it to be an Xbox exclusive.
Re: Mini Review: Loop8: Summer of the Gods (PS4) - Shallow RPG With a Repetitive Time Loop Mechanic
@rachetmarvel Because I can.
Re: Mini Review: Loop8: Summer of the Gods (PS4) - Shallow RPG With a Repetitive Time Loop Mechanic
Yikes, I might cancel my pre-order now.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
As a PS fan, I’m pretty sure Xbox stands a good chance of having a better show.
Re: Ubisoft Intends to Assign Even More Developers to Assassin's Creed Games
Talk about overkill...
Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster (PS4) - The Gripping RPG That Rocked Square's Series
Given the quite expensive nature of the Pixel Remasters as a bundle for the time being, I think I'll have a go at it again with the PSP versions of I, II, and IV for the time being since they actually look better (the sprites have been re-worked), not to mention the fact that IV is the Complete Collection version.
Re: Sony Capitalises on PS5's Huge Japan Sales with Hype Software Montage
Gotta love the Japanese gaming culture when a music video like this shows up. It's a bit sad when western audiences can't have similar fun videos.
Re: The Outer Worlds' New PS5 Version Has Some Really Disappointing Performance Issues
Let the MS conspiracy theories fly...like the one where MS doesn't want the PS5 version to be better than the Xbox version.
Re: Out Today: The Witcher 3's Free PS5 Upgrade Is Available Now
I'm here in Canada and unfortunately, the PS5 version doesn't show up as a free upgrade to my PS4 disc version. Anybody else having the same problem?
Re: Super Bomberman R 2 Blasts to PS5, PS4 Next Year
Funny how Konami is shutting off the online component of the first game very soon in order to make people buy this sequel. Not impressed.
Re: Classic JRPG Fans Should Keep an Eye on Chained Echoes, Journeying to PS4 This Year
2D Represent!
Re: The West's Already Huge Wait for the New Trails Games Just Got Even More Painful
Given my huge RPG backlog, I can absolutely wait patiently for these games.
Re: Poll: Will You Subscribe to Sony's New PS Plus Tiers?
I feel safe staying with the Essential tier given my current and huge backlog of games.
Re: PSN Down and PS Plus Not Being Detected for Many Players
Can't login from Canada.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) - Not the Bethesda Swansong We Hoped For
I was actually looking forward to this game. The mixed reviews have somewhat dampened my spirits for it though. I guess I'll wait until there's a huge discount on it.
Re: From Triangle Strategy to The DioField Chronicle, Square Enix Never Changes
Pretty presumptuous to already say there's a confusing user interface and cliche fantasy plot amongst other things from just a brief trailer.
Re: TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection Is Too Rad for PS5, PS4
@Hundred_Hand_Slap It's Digital Eclipse, which is still a very well-respected emulation developer.
Re: Square Enix Opens Massive YouTube Music Channel for Final Fantasy, NieR, and Much More
Finally. I'm probably one of the only few YouTube Music Premium subscribers out there who can appreciate this.
