Ah. BEAUTIFUL! That was honestly one of the great things about the first game. Accidentally killing your frirends lol. Glad to hear, so far it seem like a good sequel!
Im a few hours into the game atm, and man, this game has SO much charm. I am actually surprised by the game so far. Also the English dub is actually really damn good. And I never use English dub.
SUPER glad to see the game turned out to be good even after being stuck a development hell. Glad to see the campaign isn't super long. I'll take a short, good story over a long, dull, dragged on story any time. Cygames doing what they do best!
@ShogunRok Thats kinda sad imo. Taking away things are rarely ever a good thing. Always better to allow people the option to keep it as it was. But still appreciate they didn't botch up the game!
Glad to see they did the game good. Even with some not so great changes (removing fatigue, adding more teleports etc), and not to mention the ridiculous DLC. Kinda sad to see they made it even easier. Should just have added difficulty options instead of just taking stuff away.
Im happy we are getting more and more anime-based games. But sad there is so little effort put into majority of them. This being one of them. JJK deserves better.
It does look incredible and Cygames does have a good track record with their games. I really do hope it holds up considering how many years of delay it went through.
Eh. Its not really like Genshin but I also know thats just what people are gonna compare mobile games to no matter what, so no point arguing it lol. But that said, im glad to see Kuro Games can branch out. Punishing Gray Raven, their previous title, is mobile/PC only but is an incredible hack n slash game. Also after the first CBT of WW im glad they took all the feedback to heart and rebooted the whole story cause my god, was it terrible lol.
That honestly seem rather silly to put. That belong with Tekken Tag. Not in this. But that said, great review otherwise and glad to see Tekken 8 improved much more over Tekken 7!
@devildragon2k23 Their own website literally says its part of the more expensive editions. And you may wanna do a quick google search cause yes. The first LaD had NG+ behind a paywall as well.
@themightyant The first LaD had the same bs going with NG+ being like £1 and then later raised to something like £10. It had a lot of pushback and articles and well it clearly did nothing. rAtlus/Sega clearly does not give a crap cause people obviously keeps buying into it sadly.
Remaking a game, only to fill it with paid DLC. Yeah. They can go screw themselves. rAtlus have become such a greedy, scumbag of a company.
And before people say "But its just optional costumes, Personas and music". It doesn't matter. Its stuff that could clearly have been part of the game but was decided to cut out only to sell for some cheap cash-grab. I am so sick and tired of this.
Sega and rAtlus have become the new EA/Ubisoft with all their crappy DLC practices.
But have to say I really dislike the announcement of DLC characters already. Straight up makes the game feel like it's unfinished and just pushed out fast.
Oh look at that. The game everybody was crapping on when it was announced, how it wasn't PoP or "gameplay looked like garbage".
Honestly GLAD to see it turned out to be damn good. People need to stop judging a book by its cover!
Also super glad to see accessibility options. Ubisoft have honestly been pretty good at it.
Eh. Glad to see the new game is getting positive impressions overall. But unfortunately feel like im done with the series. Been with it from Yakuza 2 on PS2, and can't say I like the new direction and gimmicks they are pulling now. But hey, its a new generation. So at least they can get the joy of the the games instead!
I hate censorship like most others. BUT the game hasn't even released, so nothing was final to begin with. So not sure I would even consider it a real censorship. But then again, one of character designs in Genshin Impact and Honkai 3rd had the chinese fanbase up in arms over the chest size as well. So I can imagine it may also be why they are trying to tone it down already.
Microtransaction prices has honestly gone completely of the rails. And they are just gonna get worse, and most likely also just get away with it. Even with negative response most developers don't seem to care. Sad times we live in.
Nope. They are milking P5 like insane at this point. Plus im not buying the game knowing they have cut out 2 characters that was part of Persona 5, only to sell them as 20 bucks DLC. Kinda tired of Atlus's DLC bs at this point.
Playing? Not yet. Tales of Arise DLC first. But I did order a JP copy to play afterwards. Honestly only wanna play through it cause First Summer Uika is voicing Akame. Lol
Yeah. Those numbers may seem really low, but for a Star Ocean game? That's huge. Shame Square Enix is most likely gonna see it as a failure as per usual with their ridiculous expected sale numbers.
Cool I guess for people who didn't get the PS4 versions. But guessing otherwise its the usual rip-off from NISA. No upgrade. No actual improvement or anything to really justify the new version. (And no. including costumes really don't justify it lol)
Wait. Its only 30 FPS on PS5?! What a huge disappointment. I know its turn based and all, so 60 isn't the most important thing ever, but it does make it feel smoother after all.
I am absolutely amazed how they nailed first a PC version and then a console version. Like.. It feels so wrong with how many messed up releases we have.
That said, Can't wait to jump in! Just wish the unlock time wasn't so late tomorrow..
Highly advise people to not bother. Been playing since day 1 on mobile. Its barebones. Barely any content and you have basically no currency income to use on the banners. There is zero enemy balance. You have a cooldown on dodge, meanwhile enemies has ZERO cooldowns on spamming huge attacks. You also need a TON of dupes to max limit break characters, assist and scene cards.
Oh and worse of all, there is NO cross save. So can't even use the same account on PS4/5 and Mobile.
Good review. Basically what I expected as well. 7s and 8s from most places. Also, while its not for me, it still blows my mind it has full English dub. Spike Chunsoft really went all out.
Looking forward to Friday. Always love me some SciAdv.
That is actually insane. >enable us to continue bringing high-quality games And then they add Saints Row and Generation Zero?? Im sorry, but where is the quality?
People need to realize this review is ONE persons opinion. Stop taking the numbers so serious lol. Someones 7 may be a 3 to someone else. We all loved/enjoy different things. Stop getting butt hurt over it.
That said: Glad to see FS decided to bring AC back, and it does seem like it was overall worth it.
@get2sammyb Oh yeah, you absolutely can! It's just more so people don't rush to redownload the game expecting to be able to continue already if they have cleared the previous expansion for free. Not like the game is a small download
Yeah.. Nope. It's remake. Not a brand new game. Plus I am willing to BET they are even adding ridiculous DLC on top as well, as per usual just to make it even worse. They are called (r)Atlus for a reason.
As much as I love my Switch, Nintendo really needs to clean this up. The eShop has become so infested with crap like this similar to what PSN was (or still is? Not sure anymore)
@Kenshir0 People have also been asking for Outbreak/File#2 to get a remake. But yeah. Hard to imagine them not doing CV now, especially after how successful and stellar their remakes has been (ignoring 3 which still wasn't bad, just half-arsed)
What a great interview. She seem like a really down-to-earth person. Really do hope Capcom wakes up soon with that CVX remake. >I'm a big fan of The Last of Us and Limbo SO glad to see her mention Limbo.
It ain't the gacha game. Buuuuuut i'll take it. More Umamusume is always welcomed! Need all my horse girls. And it's good to see Cygames seem to realize the demands for them are there.

Re: Granblue Fantasy: Relink (PS5) - Fantastic Action RPG Finally Takes to the Skies

But that said - That is an INSANE amount of free content.
