I might catch some flak for this, but I'm starting to put a lot more trust into Asian influence in gaming, than Western. I feel like the East still gets gamers and I have absolutely no idea what is going on there in boardrooms in the Western hemisphere. This isn't new, I've always been a huge JRPG fan but the chasm between the two different approaches, seems to grow every year and not in a good direction. Indies are another story, but big corp has lost it's way.

My feelings about hearing a live service game being announced is the same as my feelings about hearing that one got cancelled. Indifferent, other than the people attached to the project, I don't really care.

Great, another platform I won't play it on

I expect this to go down exactly as expected.

Naval battles weren't exactly my favorite part of the latest Ys, but it wasn't really a central part of the game. Hopefully, that's the same here.

@Flaming_Kaiser What is a CD?

@Titntin How dare you!

We all just knew Unknown 10 was gonna be lit

Finished Bloomtown: A Different Story, one of a handful of indies I stayed until the end for. Started Tales of Graces f Remastered today.

Not really a live service fan. If I want a bunch of kids yelling at me while I game, I'll just wait until my grandchildren are over.

Thank God. Maybe the era of live service games is almost over. Most are just a blight to gaming

@ZeroSum 100%. Had they not focused on people that literally owned several other high-priced houses and properties, and this just being just one of the many, it would not have came across as so damn tone deaf. Especially in an economy where a lot of people can't afford to buy even one house.
Blame the media for this crappy take. Nobody wants to see anyone's life fortune go up in flames, but they really can't read a room, or maybe they can and knew exactly what they were doing.

@Steeleye50 But then would they be as great? Death Stranding sat on my shelf in gamin backlog for almost a year. Once I started playing, I kicked myself for not starting sooner.

I know y'all like me and like to eat fast, but take it slow on this one so that NG+ will be there when you finish.

I don't understand how popular Steam can be, almost the de facto way of playing PC games, and people freak out about PSN. Of course, people freak out about everything today, so maybe me not understanding is more abnormal

@LikelySatan You don't have to buy it for your significant other, you can buy it for yourself.

Honestly, I quit Plus about the time they changed everything. I don't really play multiplayer online, never too worried about cloud saves, and their monthly games seem to always be poo.

Just my experience, if someone is getting more out of it, great. Wasn't worth a dime to me.

@riceNpea I can't even believe for two seconds that the author of this article knew just reposting this was going to be divisive. Then act shocked about the comment section.

Obvious forced is bad. There I said it.

@Olmaz And it's still too expensive for me to play. Time is money.

@Coolmusic I suspect insider trading for that point.

@cburg What's moneyhatting? Sounds kinky

More curious where it lies in length with the other Like a Dragon games

People getting unnecessarily upset in 2024? I don't believe it. Hopefully, people learn to calm the F down in 2025

Definitely a "clear cut". Yikes

@Enuo You can play a game and watch TV? That's next level gen

So, basically you need to be British. Got it.

I'm waiting for Creole voice acting. And no I don't speak Creole, just want to be edgy too.

@Bingoboyop Nah, that's just from companies not understanding their fan base. How they get it so wrong, I really don't know. I have some ideas but I'll stay away from the topic

Meanwhile back in the West...

Something, something, edgy anti-pro, anti-Horizon comment. Sorry, I'm trying to fit in but just too lazy to be witty this morning.

@8bit4Life Spoilers...

Team Tifa FTW

Players can now sit on chairs. My dreams made manifest.

Almost starting to feel like the gaming companies have a team dedicated to rage baiting players. It doesn't matter how you feel about the character, there is almost zero chance they didn't, or shouldn't, expect this. Is this just a new marketing technique or are you going to tell me they really don't understand the average gamer? Maybe go outside of a big city to shop character designs?

Will the "significant upgrade" still contain the sailing mechanics? Why I didn't mind, I think it was off putting to some players. Although, that seems like a very core thing to remove from Nordics, unless the upgrade is just one one island, like a previous Ys game.

FIFY: "Perfectly rated"

@WiiWareWave Yeah, I'm betting the economy is better off than someone can raise a billion but still wind up in debt

Lot of junk or filler there, at least to me. Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei only thing I'm remotely excited about

Left and right pic, yes. Middle pic looks like something from a joke Chris Rock would get slapped over.

@Deadhunter Slept on by gamers, maybe, but pretty well exposed by gaming sites. And you are right, excellent game

Reading this article gave me a migraine, for some reason.

Not counting my own opinion, I really see Astro Bot due to the wide appeal. Some of these games, while popular, are also very niche. Again, that's not MY GOTY, that probably goes to Metaphor, but if I'm predicting the winner, I'd go with Astro Bot.

Dragon Age:Veilguard. Not as bad as people are making it out to be but not quiet the masterpiece critics made it out to be. I'm still having fun it borrows mechanics from almost every AAA game in the last decade.

Games. Work on games.

Tried this on iPhone a year or two back, quit within about 20 minutes.

Fantasian Neo Dimension looks like someone used an RPG maker and spent 10 minutes learning how to make a game.

A problem Sony made. I'll wait until at least there is a "must play" Pro enhanced game. Haven't seen one yet.

GOTY in a category, I can see, but GOTY all around, nah. Just like my GOTY is Metaphor, even though I know the most likely GOTY is Astro Bot. It's just more approachable and mainstream. Will I cry if Balatro gets it? No, but I just don't see that happening.
