I am all against AI. But unfortunately we also gotta remember Shift Up is Korean. And Korea is sadly perfectly fine with using it. It kinda really sucks.
It looks decent enough. Better then previous ones. But man. After WuWa 3.3 mech fight, I wish Bandai would collab with Kuro and allow them to make a Gundam game lol.
Season 1 was trash. Season 2 was even worse. So yeah. Sure "Highly succesful". Third season makes sense. Also the guy behind the series seem like such a arrogant a-hole. Like he is the best at making series and pretending everything he does is perfect. Series is an absolute joke. Taking everything that make DMC, well DMC, and turning it into a complete joke. And yes. I have seen both seasons, unfortunately.
@Dom_31 "made Lucy not particularly good without a ton of dupes". That's literally gacha games. Its not just for Lucy. It goes for everybody. Its the same if you get the character without their signature weapon. You'll be weaker. You're making it sound like what they are doing with this collab is any different. It isn't. Nothing has changed lol. Even being a different currency is normal for many gacha collabs.
The collab looks so ridiculous god. Like, who in the right mind would go to the effort of brining part of Night City to the game, just for a collab?! Kuro don't half arse things. Haven't done in Punishing Gray Raven either.
I can't say I feel bad about it. It honestly feel like ever since Playstation bought Bungie, they started to focus on live service slop and the quality just dropped. So hopefully this is gonna be a huge wake-up call.
Sucks however that there's most likely gonna be a huge layoff soon considering how sudden this is.
I would say cool. But its rAtlus. So they are just gonna release it and add a bunch of paid DLC along side it for whatever reason anyway. So rather they not re-release them.
Without exclusivity there is no point for consoles. Does every game need to be exclusive? Absolutely not. Look at Xbox. There is basically no reason to even buy one now cause everything is on PC anyway.
I honestly want it to flop. Not because of Bungie or anything, but because im sick and tired of Playstation pushing all these live service games. It needs to stop.
Been waiting so god damn long for the Delulu Idols to arrive.. And its finally time!! Cost what it will. They will all be mine, and so will their w-engines.
They ignore people wanting Kagawa gone. People complain about the way the game looks and suddenly they do listen. F Sega/RGG. They have dragged what used to be an incredible franchise into such a s***hole. Nagoshi dodged a bullet leaving his beloved franchise behind. But must be sad to see it being treated this way.
Also kinda wild to think we are finally all caught up with the games. We went from Falcom not really trusting in the western market, to going full in. It's beautiful.
@QiaraIris The whole powercrep is completely valid. But it should be noted the devs for ZZZ are constantly fighting against it, but buffing older characters to keep them up to standard of the newer ones. (They even put out a video today regarding powercreep and the next characters to get buffed)
>appear to be the ugly duckling of HoYoverse’s gacha trilogy
And you know what? That's perfectly fine. ZZZ generally goes under the radar and avoids drama that HSR and GI is constantly having. Lol
Been playing since day 1, and still absolutely love this game. The devs defnietely know their audience and really does listen. People weren't big fans of the story-telling for the current arc, and now they're going back to what people loved.
That said: Free Zhaaaaaao! More excited for her then I am for Shunguang, despite being a voidhunter lol.
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.

This was everything I wanted. And the Hand-to-hand combat look nuts. Shift-Up about to drop another hit!

Re: Zenless Zone Zero's Gorgeous New City Revealed Early After Major Leak

Really hope this patch is gonna help put the game more on the map since it is the underdog of Hoyo, but imo the best of them.

Re: Directive 8020 (PS5) - Dull Sci-Fi Thriller Is a Supermassive Letdown

Such a shame. Especially now, after Sega has destroyed the Yakuza reputation..

Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure
The timing of that post was ridiculous. BP closure dropped, and 15mins later, they posted that. A live service game that cost them millions..
Herman has to go. He has caused so much insane damage. I used to love buying Playstation games. Nowadays I can't even make myself do it.
Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
A studio that has shown again and again, how incredible talented they were. And yet Bungie lives on...

Re: Gears of War Reckons It's Ended the Console War as Reloaded Tops 1 Million Players

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: 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'
