So basically didn't really change anything from the first entry to this. Im okay with that. First one felt really good to play, and was actually really fun. The DLC thing is something that pisses me off though.
It still blows my mind how IOI allowed this to be released. I know they were just publishing it but cmon. They need some QC whether they make the game or publish it.
Its still wild how Capcom literally went from a very hated company across the board, to one of the most liked one now. And a lot of it is thanks to listening to the fans and reacting to it. Won't always work. But it can pay of! Hopefully they can keep this going.
Oh for crying out loud. Not again Koei... You need to stop this. Was so excited to finally get a new GOOD DW game.. But yeah. That's a deal breaker unfortunately. Ryza 3 had the same issue, and I had to drop that as well cause I couldn't read the subs. It really should be standard feature to change text size by this point.
May be an unpopular opinion but they shouldn’t do a sequel anyway. Not all games need sequel or to be milked. Just remaster/patch/port the game with 60 fps.
It’s still mind blowing how Sony hasn’t done this yet. Or even patched the game to 60 fps on PS5. It’s a gold mine they are sitting on and yet we get nothing but useless merchandise.
There really never was any doubt WuWa was coming to ps5. They never really denied it. That said can’t wait for next week when it drops. PGR from Kuro Games is amazing. Also side note super glad they are actually promoting the game. Took them….2? Years to do ANY ads for PGR.
I hate censorship. Censorship is bad. No matter what. People want to see it? Let them. Let it be an OPTION. Don’t just take it away. That said people are overreacting. And this is most likely Sony at fault. So getting angry at ShiftUp is stupid. BUT it should also be said a similar thing happened when NIKKE launched. People assumed that time it was Tencent behind that censorship.
I expected an okay game. So a pleasant surprise to see this getting some good scores. Glad to see it wasn't a low effort adaptation.
Also super good to see its 60 FPS. Tried the SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada beta and that was 30 FPS and it hurt my soul, and expected this to be the same. But glad its not the case.
It really is underrated. It looks so shallow on the surface but the game is actually really deep and satisfying. I am honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet, considering it has a PC version already.
So damn excited for this. Shift Up did an amazing job with NIKKE both gameplay and story wise. So really looking forward how they’ll do in a triple a environment. Clearly have a talented team.
Was wondering what Manjuu/Yostar was cooking up over the years (other than Aether Gazer). Excited to see where this goes. Sad it isn't actually related to Azur Lane though. And for what they have shown, this already look pretty damn polished. Im impressed.
F Atlus. Seriously. Absolutely ridiculous.
Im done buying their crap, even if its good. BS like this insane, and they just keep getting away with it. F that.
If I do end up getting this, I think i'll wait for a bunch of patches. Performance mode sound less then great. Is it FF16 level of bad performance while fighting? (with background and everything looking awful)
8 or 9 score seem about right. Been having such a blast with it. Honestly amazed how much they have improved the game over the first, even after going third person.
Pretty wild considering how niche the first game was. And this hasn't really got any ridiculous promoting either. Sure it has got some, but compared to other games its still nothing.
Edit: Just noticed a bunch of streamers are paid to stream it tonight as well. So that's gonna help as well!
Not surprised. Atlus is such scumbags when it comes to their games now. Remaking an entire, beloved game, just to sell DLC for it. How about instead they released a FULL game.
As someone who has played NIKKE since day 1, this is VERY exciting to see.
Also just as a note: Those 25 millions $ per month is ONLY from mobile revenue. It has a PC version as well, which isn't counted. So yeah. Its bonkers.
@themightyant The whole reward thing you mention is 100% valid. But a lot of the issues is also the lack of QoL for Genshin. HRS get so much QoL stuff so fast, meanwhile Genshin is lacking the basic stuff. That's also what upset people.
That said, only a bit into the new patch, and already loving the story. (Also only took 4 pulls to get Black Swan so yay)

More Stellar Blade is good!
Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger Demo Out Now on PS5, Save Data Carries Over
30 FPS for a game like this is inexcusable.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Borderlands 4 PS5 Review?
When you give out PC codes, and no console codes, its a huge red flag. And the fact they even offered a PC code instead of PS5? Yeah..
Re: Gears of War Reckons It's Ended the Console War as Reloaded Tops 1 Million Players
@DonkeyFantasy
Correct. That, and the fact there is no MMR of any sorts. Oh. And all the cheaters on PC, with no way to even turn off cross-play.
Re: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2 (PS5) - A Cut Above
So basically didn't really change anything from the first entry to this. Im okay with that. First one felt really good to play, and was actually really fun.
The DLC thing is something that pisses me off though.

Re: Stellar Blade's PC Mods Do More Than Remove Eve's Nanosuit
Well. ShiftUp did say to go nuts with the modding. And people clearly are.
Re: Silent Hill 1 Remake Announced, from Bloober Team
I dont know what is up with Konami anymore. But they need to keep this going. They have done so many good things as of late.
Re: Rumour: Greek God of War Game Is a 2.5D Metroidvania
Eh. It could work. People were all against the Price of Persia metroidvania, and that turned out really damn good. So why couldn't this as well?
Re: Point-and-Click Classic Syberia Gets a PS5 Remaster, Out This Year
@Bamila No its not. It never had a single remaster. Its been ported to various platforms. That's it.This is the first remaster.
Re: Capcom Is Unstoppable, Confirms Eighth Consecutive Year of Record Financial Results

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
"Single-player games are dead" btw! And a game with no microtransactions? And DLC to be FREE?! TeamAsobi shows how it should be.
So damn happy to see Astro back in full force. Had no doubt to be fair.
Please Sony. Just make Astro the official Playstation Mascot.
Re: FromSoftware Boss Twists the Bloodborne Knife, Says It's 'A Special Game for Me'

Re: Hidetaka Miyazaki 'Knows for a Fact' FromSoftware Devs Want a Bloodborne PC Port

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Will Get Free Post-Launch DLC
This game is gonna be so good and cozy. So excited to see Astro back and even better with free dlc.
Re: Betrayal as OG Mass Effect Citadel Sprinting Revealed to Be a Lie
Why is this only coming to light now? I thought this was know for years? lol. It was so super obvious to see and feel.
Re: Square Enix Drops OG Octopath Traveler, Available Now on PS5, PS4
And once again SE does the dumbest crap like this. No fanfare or anything. Seriously hate how SE handles some of their games.
Re: HoYoverse's Next Huge Gacha Zenless Zone Zero Launches 4th July on PS5
Beta left me disappointed. But since Kuro Games dropped the ball HARD with Wuthering Waves, I’m definitely gonna give it a try.
Re: Gargantuan Gacha Wuthering Waves Targeting PS5 At a Later Date
There really never was any doubt WuWa was coming to ps5. They never really denied it. That said can’t wait for next week when it drops. PGR from Kuro Games is amazing. Also side note super glad they are actually promoting the game. Took them….2? Years to do ANY ads for PGR.
Re: Review Bombers Were Even Attacking Other Games Made by Helldivers 2 Dev
Show how stupid the internet can really be. Being upset is fine. But don’t take it out on things unrelated to it.
Re: Umamusume: Pretty Derby Spin-Off Gallops to PS4 in August
Really sad there’s no physical release outside of Asia, at least for now. But still super stoked for my horse girls to come Global.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship

BUT it should also be said a similar thing happened when NIKKE launched. People assumed that time it was Tencent behind that censorship.
Re: Sand Land (PS5) - Open World Adaptation Is a Demonic Delight
I expected an okay game. So a pleasant surprise to see this getting some good scores. Glad to see it wasn't a low effort adaptation.
Also super good to see its 60 FPS. Tried the SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada beta and that was 30 FPS and it hurt my soul, and expected this to be the same. But glad its not the case.
Re: Stellar Blade (PS5) - A Stellar PS5 Debut Destined to Become a Fan Favourite
So glad to see all that NIKKE money went toward an amazing new project. Shift Up doing good!
Re: $70 Games Are Just a Phase, Believes Saber Interactive CEO
I get what he is saying and wish it to be true. But unfortunately I only see the prices going up unless something else drastically changes.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
So overall a good game. Just a shame I can't deal with 30 FPS. Such a shame
Also very much appreciate you being honest about not scoring it due to lack of time!
Re: Romantic Visual Novel SINce Memories Remembers to Release in the West on PS4
Im excited for this. But man am I worried after the Konosuba localization disaster.
Re: Pokémon Meets Waifus! Azur Promilia Will Be a Big Deal on PS5

And for what they have shown, this already look pretty damn polished. Im impressed.
Re: Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Releases in September, Is Part of an Expansion Pass

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Finally Confirmed for PC, Launches This May
Super happy for PC players. Hopefully its gonna release in a good state as well. One of the best games of recent years.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction
If I do end up getting this, I think i'll wait for a bunch of patches. Performance mode sound less then great.
Is it FF16 level of bad performance while fighting? (with background and everything looking awful)
Re: Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance on PS5, PS4 Confirmed, Out in June 2024
A Atlus re-release?! Shocking!
At least this version is bound to have an actual frame rate unlike what the OG Switch version did.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Helldivers 2?
Honestly between 8 and 9. It does have some issues, but with time there is no doubt Arrowhead Studio is gonna iron them out.
Re: Sorry PvP Fans, Helldivers 2 Will 'Never' Feature Competitive Modes
Not all games need PvP.
Re: Earth Defense Force 6 Delays Its PS5, PS4 Invasion to Summer 2024 in the West
Its okay. We have Helldivers 2 for the time being! Can wait.
Re: Helldivers 2 (PS5) - The Best Co-Op Shooter on PS5
8 or 9 score seem about right. Been having such a blast with it. Honestly amazed how much they have improved the game over the first, even after going third person.
Re: Helldivers 2 Off to a Strong Start on PS5, PC, Currently Third Best-Selling Game on Steam
@Mostik I believe it was around 25gb. So its thankfully not super big.
Re: Helldivers 2 Off to a Strong Start on PS5, PC, Currently Third Best-Selling Game on Steam
@colonelkilgore "Our review of the game will arrive in the coming days" Its in the article.
Re: Helldivers 2 Off to a Strong Start on PS5, PC, Currently Third Best-Selling Game on Steam

Im excited for tonight when digital unlocks!
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Feels Like a Strong Step Forward from Remake
As someone who really wasn't a fan of the Remake part 1, im actually happy to see they improved on what could have worked better in this.
Re: Helldivers 2 Pre-Orders Are Big on PS5, PC, Currently Outselling Palworld in US
Makes me so happy to see. The devs deserve it! Pre-loaded and ready!
Re: Potential Persona 3 Reload DLC The Answer Found in New Datamine
Not surprised. Atlus is such scumbags when it comes to their games now. Remaking an entire, beloved game, just to sell DLC for it. How about instead they released a FULL game.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Considering Crossover Content with Saucy Smartphone Shooter NIKKE
As someone who has played NIKKE since day 1, this is VERY exciting to see.
Also just as a note: Those 25 millions $ per month is ONLY from mobile revenue. It has a PC version as well, which isn't counted. So yeah. Its bonkers.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Humongous PS5 Update Is Out Now
@themightyant The whole reward thing you mention is 100% valid. But a lot of the issues is also the lack of QoL for Genshin. HRS get so much QoL stuff so fast, meanwhile Genshin is lacking the basic stuff. That's also what upset people.
That said, only a bit into the new patch, and already loving the story. (Also only took 4 pulls to get Black Swan so yay)
