Atlus is just on FIRE this year. Persona 3 Reload, Unicorn Overlord, SMTV: Vengeance, and then Metaphor: ReFantazio to close things out. Hopefully all four of these titles find success. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go break the bad news to my wallet 😅😅

@TheFakulty Yes, completely turn based. Think Pokemon meets Monster Hunter with all the Monster Hunter DNA you love like equipment and weapon customization, tracking and trapping monsters, learning monster's habits to best them in battle, Quest Board, etc plus in depth monster raising like Pokemon.

Man Elden Ring DLC releasing the same day as this really has me worried for SMT V:V's sales. I just feel like all the new PlayStation fans that would really enjoy SMT V's world design, lore, moral choices, and difficulty, will all be playing Elden Ring instead 😅😅

RIP SMT V: Vengeance 😅😅😅

Wooo! I'm excited for PlayStation fans to FINALLY have a mainline SMT experience again. The new content and improved visuals and performance look good here and I can't wait to see more. Hopefully this helps grow the series.

If you add all the Switch hardware together (Original, Lite, and OLED), it's actually more than the combined PlayStation 4 and 5 sales. Just wanted to add some perspective

@AccessibleDaydream That's awful that you and your family had to go through that. I'm glad it was enough income to get you out of that situation at least.

I wish everyone who does this in real life would just play this video game instead 😅

Just finished this. While the ending is a total treat for fans, the gameplay feels even more jank than the base game and begs the question if this was even play tested before release. The difficulty is all over the place, with some of the earlier challenges being far harder than the later challenges. Certain challenges require you to reload your save in order to retry because necessary platforms disappear and don't respawn. The new characters only highlight how much this game and it's camera weren't meant for precision platforming. For those turned off by the difficulty, I'd say just YouTube the final boss fight and ending.

@thetraditional Lol must be because he's had to focus on his director roles. I do miss The Bouncer though!

Eww no. Can Nomura please be put in charge of designing zippers instead of writing stories?

@Quintumply Ok the big question. This or Chained Echoes?

My backlog is too large to justify spending $70 on a remake of Persona 3 that doesn't even come with all the content from the previous versions but WILL have day one DLC. I'll wait for a sale

Everyone voting Cloud should really play Xenogears. It's the same character done way better

@Diowine Because this series IS very niche. There's been 15 Armored Core games and not one of them has sold over a million units in it's lifetime, with most entries selling between 200,000 to 400,000. The studio itself was very niche until the success of Dark Souls in 2011. These games just kept being made because at the time, they were just barely keeping FromSoftware afloat. For comparisons sake, Dark Souls has since gone on to sell over 33 million copies while the last two Armored Core games, which released in 2012 and 2013, have sold under 1 million COMBINED. That means that just Dark Souls alone has sold more than five times the amount of the entire 15 game Armored Core series.

These games have always only had a small following and the only reason you're seeing so much coverage now is because after the success of Elden Ring and the rest of the Souls series garnering wide appeal, FromSoftware is pushing the hell out of its marketing team to try and make Armored Core 6 stick.

@RedShirtRod Thanks. That makes way more sense haha. Weird that it was absent from the Wikipedia page.

@Sekijo What's funny about that is Skyrim is not even in the top 50. You'd think across all of its releases that it would have sold better 😂

@LifeGirl I don't really think the comparison to GTA V is meant to be impressive or unimpressive, rather it's just meant to put things into perspective a bit. GTA V is the 2nd best selling videogame of all time and by a wide margin. I see it as a bit of a fluke and I honestly don't think Rockstar could replicate it's success if they tried.

@Matroska I just had this conversation with my friends! Apparently this was fairly common back then for a creator to tell the story they wanted to tell in their game but include H scenes to ensure it sells. I still remember the old Studio Deen adaptation of Fate//Stay Night trying to skirt around a sex scene by making a giant fever dream dragon appear instead 😂. Wild times.

Combat feels brain dead so far. Small enemies don't fight back to the point where you don't even have to use the dodge. Larger enemies and bosses are damage sponges that only seem to serve the purpose of showcasing the stagger mechanic, which makes the only enemies in the demo who actually fight back...not fight back, so you can continue mindlessly wailing on them in peace. In fact, I'm just gonna say it. Combat is better in Forespoken. So far I'm not sold on this.

The Yakuza or Like a Dragon series

@Khayl Ok I actually love that haha

@Powerplay94 This is the best way to describe a merger that I think I've ever heard lol

What is happening in this title?

I know this isn't actually Playstation news of any kind, but I'm really glad you reported it

Gotta comment fast!

Can we get a remaster of Abyss already please?? I miss that game so much

But can we please get manual skill inheritance though?

This was super fun! Thanks guys and see you next year!

@Arisen I mean, every single nominee in the Score category was more deserving than GoW. 😂 Ragnarok was great, and probably should've won GotY, but it had no business winning best score against that competition

@bozz I'm tired and can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not lol. You mean a Souls game? Because there definitely isn't a shortage of them 😂

@KAIRU I mean, glitched quest lines, bugs, poor balancing in character builds, reused bosses, lazy copy pasted endings and worse boss design than the last 3 Souls games? It was good for what it was but I wouldn't call it the best. It definitely deserved to be nominated in all it's categories though

I'm real happy for everyone that now has the opportunity to play this awesome game. It's very fun and has just enough different but familiar from World

@MasterVGuides Oh you're totally right. That makes way more sense.

Harry McEntire not being nominated for Best Performance in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is total robbery honestly. None of the nominees did what Harry did in Chapters 5 and 6

Every time I hear about Kojima hyping up his next big project, all I can think of is that episode of Bojack Horseman where they were making a movie, and by trying to go so outside the box, it ended up becoming a bimonthly basket of curated snacks. The future of cinema

This is what Bethesda calls "Going Gold" 😂

@ShogunRok Helped immensely. Went ahead and preordered the Switch version. Thanks as always!

@ShogunRok As someone who hasn't played any Trails titles before, how do you feel this holds up as a starting point for the series given that it does wrap up threads from the previous Sky games? The Trails community can be rather insistent that you play them in a specific order and I do not have time (or a PC) for that. Thanks!

This is gonna be the best 7/10 game released next year

Synduality, Project Eve, and Like A Dragon Ishin for me please. Oh and that angry dad man game

What's funny is Sony's presentation may only be 20 minutes versus Nintendo's 40, but that's because you know half of Nintendo's time will be spent showing off games coming to Sony as well 😂

@ShogunRok This is exactly how I felt watching the Disney presentation

@Flaming_Kaiser Even if the announcement is disappointing, there's still Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes coming out hopefully next year!

Suikoden V rekindled my love of JRPGs during the PS3 era when I thought the genre had gone stale. Very special game to me. Even if this announcement is just an HD collection, I'll be happy

@SoulChimera 😂

@SoulChimera Pretty sure the team was just looking for a name that had exactly as many syllables as Jet Set Radio while still being able to describe the feel of their game.

Either Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair or Kaze and the Wild Masks should have been listed here. A Hat In Time also could've been included. Pretty poor list honestly

Yeah sure I'd try it. Would prefer if it let you open, design, and manage your own shop as well though like the Style Savvy games on 3DS....Annnnnd I already feel judged 😂
