@RS1 I was starting to write out a comprehensive reply but just felt you wouldn't want to listen due to re-reading your comment so won't bother to explain
I have GP, but also chose to purchase on PS5 as extra sales. Dev deserves ALL the support for reviving a 15 year gap for this style of game and turn based. It's been sorely lacking since the 360 era
@RoomWithaMoose metacritic reviews for critics are out of 100 and when you give a perfect score and you are a critic, that's EXACTLY the reasoning I previously mentioned. There is nothing juvenile here other than you getting upset due to my opinion whilst saying critics opinions are all valid, the irony and hypocrisy is astounding...
The discussion was based around that and that's exactly the message given by those scores. There's not even a debate here and I won't continue to respond to someone who is just declining facts.
@RoomWithaMoose In retort I can't stress enough how much the reviews are a lot of the time not valid and are very contradictory within themselves.
Giving games 100/100 and then following on to note all the clear flaws with a game is simply NOT genuine and just one critic doing this impacts the overall score tremendously. When you realise it's not just the odd 1 doing this, you start to realise it's true that the critic scores simply cannot be trusted.
Again, I won't change my mind on something that's quite evidently factual and obvious. The user scores aren't perfect, but when nothing is perfect you can only rely on yourself and without that, a majority.
@Shepherd_Tallon when Avowed was announced I was a 10/10 interested, but over the years showed the Dev and the eventual release it went from that to a 0/10 after playing it. Probably one of my biggest disappointments in gaming hype
I tried monster hunter world and found it boring, bought this and killed the first frog thing... Found it boring and a slog, chasing it down and repeating the same attacks... Am I missing something about what makes this game so highly rated? Genuinely
They have kept the core aspect of what an RPG like this should keep anyway, which is the turn based combat. I can adjust to other changes, unlike with Final Fantasy...
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how well this game runs, I for one won't be playing it... Far too many controversies around the game to enjoy it now
@Neither_scene you'll never get double the performance for double the price. In terms of diminishing returns, the PS5 pro is likely the best value on the market in terms of an upgrade. Looking at PC gaming you're looking at over double the costs for less of a jump in performance in terms of upgrading your "potato"
@FEWGEE1 I'm sticking with my 2029/2030 PS6 release estimate. Highly doubt before then unless Sony sells an even more diminishing returns version of a PS6 than the PS5 Pro was compared to the big standard PS5
Literally not interested in action... Was a gimmick with the likes of Legend of Dragoon and Shadow Hearts, I don't mind it but would much prefer it without the gimmick...
Reminds me of Breath of Fire 6... Why are developers so incredibly dumb? It's like a group of unthinking board directors have seen a graph of mobile gaming and try to squeeze in, apples and pears...
@DennisReynolds those are most definitely not the conditions to label a game as such and I think you know full well the levels to which those are that I spoke of
Like to reiterate that I said the game was NOT woke as the removal of my comment would suggest otherwise

@RS1 The PS4 game sales would like a word lol
Re: Poll: Which Bethesda RPG Needs an Oblivion-Style Remaster Next?
Skyrim, I would actually play it 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
For people who "wait" for PS6, why not wait for 7, 8, 9...?
Whole concept seems like a cope

Get out lmao, seriously 😂
Re: Expedition 33's Awesome Soundtrack Is Blowing Up, and Fans Think It Holds a Clue About DLC
AAA Devs should take note, but they won't, so out of touch

Dunno why, but I never realised this was a sequel to Tsushima

Re: FromSoftware Wants to Explain Elden Ring Nightreign to You Again
Whilst yes, it can be played as single player, seems the entire purpose is engineered for multiplayer - just no real interest to me!
Re: GTA 6 Delayed to 2026, Out on 26th May 2026
Still out before ES6
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 DLC Is on the Cards After Positive Reception
Full price purchase
Re: UK Sales Charts: Expedition 33 Debuts in Second Place, Almost All Sales for PS5 Version
It's quite impressive how Hogwarts is still at the top! Expedition 33 is my GOTY currently, toppled KCD2
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets PS5 Release Date, Trailer, Pre-Order Details
Nice, hopefully this year release to fill the much needed gap here!
Re: There's One Positive for Physical Fans Amid PS5's Price Increase Chaos
So this will make the supply and demand issue even worse, unless Sony are going to increase production hugely!
Re: Microsoft Makes PS5 Pro the Best Place to Play Indiana Jones
I'd argue console is always the "best" place to play games anyway. Lot to be said for the ease of them compared to "PC" which wildly varies
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Download Size Is Still Massive on PS5
Great game, near the end on the series X
Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
Nice nonsense comparison, even with what is known...
Maybe some actual visual scaling would be good
Re: Remember to Get These 80+ PS5, PS4 Deals Before the Spring Sale Refresh
@Reptilio I'm more interested in the pro patch than a deal
Re: Remember to Get These 80+ PS5, PS4 Deals Before the Spring Sale Refresh
It's always impressive how much value the Witcher 3 has, at this price it's insane.
Re: Starfield Could Have Released on PS5 Already, Work Has Been Ongoing for a While
Really enjoyed it, will probably play again on the pro

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Is Sony's Biggest Western Hit in Japan Since Crash Bandicoot 3
I still think GoT is hugely overrated and a bit boring, but the comparative of AC has REALLY been quite the eye opener
Re: Lies of P: Overture Full of Bosses, Weapons, Ideas that Didn't Fit in the Base Game
Do we know if this is the only expansion planned? I played it though on Xbox, but want to play the 'full' game again on PS!

Can't wait for ES6
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Bloodborne, 10 Years Later?
It's definitely the most overrated from soft game for sure, but I wouldn't mind replaying a remaster or a sequel!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 573
Most definitely not Feudal Japan and I'd argue no one is! Fantasy Japan maybe 😂
I completed KCD2 and now moved on to Syberia 3, which I'm sure no one else is playing!
