I found it dull as hell... The trial by error in the beginning just annoyed me so I stopped playing, I got the impression that was the whole game, could be wrong but the sour taste was too much
@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

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox
@Oram77 yea, had Sony in my mind I guess!
Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox
What's to blame?
Square ditched the core aspects that built the legacy and made a DMC game...
Re: 'Good Luck with That' - The Outer Worlds 2 $80 Price Has Gone Down Horribly with PS5 Players
First game didn't impress me at all...
If I'm bored I'd play it on GP
Re: Persona 4 Remake Announced for PS5
@Anya-chan I was thinking this year!
Re: Expedition 33 Could Get Much Requested Photo Mode in Future Update on PS5
Good option, although photo mode in recent games I've played has been absolutely awful...
Re: Silent Hill 2's Proper PS5 Pro Patch Is Still in the Works
My whining has paid off it seems, thought they were going to ditch it
Hope it's not just lip service, when it comes I'll buy it
Re: Atomic Heart Success Turns Game's Developer into Publisher

Re: Clair Obscur Director Has Exquisite Taste, Says Nothing Tops Persona 5's Visual Design
He's being nice... I prefer the realism myself
Re: Stellar Blade Sequel Announced, Out by 2027
@KillerBoy if it's by 2027 then PS5, if it's by 2030 though, maybe PS6 😂
Re: Hellblade 2 Announced for PS5, Out This Summer
I found it dull as hell... The trial by error in the beginning just annoyed me so I stopped playing, I got the impression that was the whole game, could be wrong but the sour taste was too much
Re: Point-and-Click Classic Syberia Gets a PS5 Remaster, Out This Year
Awesome, loved the aesthetics and vibe of the first game
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
@Rich33 PS6 is most definitely out further than people think, I wouldn't put past it being holiday 2029 or later!
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
@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
Carry on lol
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
@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
Re: Expedition 33's Awesome Soundtrack Is Blowing Up, and Fans Think It Holds a Clue About DLC
@Frmknst generic and boring?
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
Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Will Be Even Better Than Its Wildly Successful Predecessor, Says Yoshida
Dunno why, but I never realised this was a sequel to Tsushima
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: How Long Does It Take to Beat?
Think I'm already around the 70 hour mark and exploring through act 3
Re: Plenty of People Are Playing Expedition 33 on PS5, Despite Having to Actually Buy It
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
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: Silent Hill 2 PS5 Pro Issues Are Being Worked on, Dev Confirms
Over 4 months, still nothing...
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Smashes Capcom Record with 10 Million Units Sold
I bought this and kind of forcing my way through it... Much prefer Dragon's Dogma

@RagnarLothbrok I can't stress just how much this is true. Critics cannot be trusted at all

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!
Re: PS5 Pro System Seller Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Get a Big Upgrade
@dskatter I reckon being debated in Japan's parliament speaks otherwise!

Re: Xbox Is Absolutely Dominating PS5's Pre-Order Charts
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: Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Dev Won't Add Mini Map, Discovery a Key Part of Promising PS5 RPG
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...
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!
Re: PlayStation's Solar-Powered Controller Patent Might Help with Battery Life Woes
This is great, I love playing my Playstation in the garden!
Re: Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Wins GDC Social Impact Award, But Everyone Got Laid Off
Who would have thought that game awards don't relate to the success of a game or the sales!
