Been a crazy week with 0 gaming. Hope tomorrow will allow me a few precious moments in Sparking Zero now that the patch is out. Was hoping to start Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered week after next but life if fully Life-ing.
This is overall great news! I'm hoping the split screen on all stages didn't come at the cost of performance or visual quality in non-split screen modes.
Life has been Life-ing so I haven't even played anything yet this week. I've conceded that this year I will break my 9 Year streak of at least 1 platinum trophy a year 😔. So Im hoping to just enjoy playing some Unicorn Overlord &Sparking Zero sometime tomorrow.
@Matroska To be fair they are counting Digital sale as well so the number I Japan is probably closer to 1.5 Million, meaning the rest of the world is only around 500K total. Spread across UK, Europe,USA, South America and Canada 500K isn't thst much.
Again not a knock on the game, the spread is just interesting.
That's great. I haven't played it yet but I probably will sometime next year. Just don't like this game being used as ammo by people against exclusives.
Seems we might be heading back to the PS3 era of "it's successful in Japan but a flop everywhere else"
I liked Foamstars, I've played 75 hrs of it. But I just said to yesterday to some friends thst I think I'm done with it. Seems I wasn't the only one. This game needed go multiplatform as well as f2p. But even then after a while you just kinda have your fill of it an move on. The Live service Curse is that you either catch gamers for the rest of thier lives or not at all.
Same old same old, Unicorn Overlord and trying to get the 100 online battles trophy in Sparking Zero so I can still maintain the delusion of platinuming it before January.
Wouldn't it be WILD if this turned out to be one of the rumored Horizon Multiplayer games and the leaker just assumed it was Horizon because it looks exactly like it! 🤣
More On Topic: if this is free for PS Plus I would honestly give it a try.
@LogicStrikesAgain @thedevilsjester Thanks for the clarification! 😃 I too am no fan of consolidation. I don't know the industry is going to get through these high budgets and expectations but I'll be there regardless.
I know the internet SAYS it would be OK with low budget shorter games but there really isn't much evidence to support that claim so I know the devs and publishers are between a rock and hard place.
This is a ridiculous notion and a clear sign they want Elden Ring DLC to win GOTY. Geoff has done alot for gaming and I respect him for that. But this is the last straw in my opinion.
I played about 12hrs and the hitstop adjustment are a IMPROVEMENT not negative. Makes the combat quicker. I much prefer it to World (went back to fight Furious Rajan right after the Beta ended so the changes were obvious) but its a good mix of World and Rise.
EDIT: Judging by the 21 other comments thus far we did not play the same beta. My experience seems to have been magnitudes better than most here. I loved it, changes and all. To each their own 🤷🏾♂️
I'm playing Sparking Zero! having fun with it as I get to grips with the controls. Im Soooo very looking forward to the Monster Hunter Wilds beta next week. I haven't given up on Unicorn Overlord though as I'm about half way through it I think (52hrs)
After a week long exhausting trip I'm looking forward to sleeping. But I might sneak some Unicorn overlord in tomorrow as it's pretty easy to jump back In.
Sadly I can tell you what I'm NOT playing: Sparking Zero! as I have to make a short notice international flight and won't be home ( or even in one place) for at least a week 😔
At least I got some Unicorn Overlord in last night and I'm taking the PS Vita with me.
Cheers @Link41x
Trying to take it easy today, been a very stressful week. Wanna give Foamstars a go again as it's now F2P and I have an urge to jump back into Horizon Forbidden West just for photo mode (already platinumed) but I definitely need to play more Unicorn Overlord.
@CielloArc Yeah kinda crazy they didn't show Super 17 unless they have him grouped differently no General Rildo either but I'm still have SSJ4 is finally confirmed.
@Ralizah Sadly I think you are right. As much as Western gamers (myself included) have pointed to other western gamers for not buying their games, Japanese gamers didn't support Japan Studio with the kind of numbers we have seen them do for other games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 558
@Gremio108 Might I suggest What Remains of Edith Finch, The Unfinished
Swan or Ether One ( this one isn't that great tho)
Journey I guess might count as a walking sim of sorts

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 556
@Judal27 I wanted to try Digimon Survive too but wasn't sure it was worst jumping to PS Plus Extra for. Let me know how it goes! 😃
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 556
Still dual-weilding Unicorn Overlord & Dparking Zero with HZD Remastered waiting its turn in line. This is gonna be the rest of the year for me.
Happy gaming!

Re: Remedy Offers Control 2 Insight, AAA Action RPG on €50 Million Budget
So 50 Million budget and they need 3-4 Million in sales to be profitable? Yeah the industry is cooked.
Re: Do You Really Want Devs to Make Lower Budget, More Original Games for PS5?
Doesn't matter what I say, the results (sales) speak for themselves.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 555
Actually played a few matches of Foamstars yesterday believe it or not. But my main focus will be Sparking Zero/Unicorn Overlord this weekend.
Everytime I get hyped for Dragonquest 3 Remake I see something about the grind thst puts me off. 🤷🏾♂️ I'll check it out one day.
Happy Gaming!
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures (PS5) - Dull Design Lets Down This Gorgeous Spin-Off
Welp, this game just slipped all the way down my list of games to buy. Maybe sometime next year.
Good thing I upgraded HZD Remastered for $10. I'll just play that instead.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 554
Gonna be mostly Sparking Zero this weekend. I bought it but won't start HZD Remastered till I finish Unicorn Overlord.
A new season of Foamstars just started so I might check that out.
Happy gaming!
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta?
Absolutely loved it! Love ALL the changes to weapons. Performance could be better but the game is 4 months out. All and all very satisfied.
Re: Fans Work Out Why Monster Hunter Wilds Feels So Weird and Weightless in PS5 Beta
I played about 12hrs and the hitstop adjustment are a IMPROVEMENT not negative. Makes the combat quicker. I much prefer it to World (went back to fight Furious Rajan right after the Beta ended so the changes were obvious) but its a good mix of World and Rise.

Monter Hunter Wilds Beta. That is all.
Have great weekend!
Re: Players Made Uncomfortable by Talking Palicoes as Monster Hunter Wilds PS5 Beta Goes Live

I'm playing Sparking Zero! having fun with it as I get to grips with the controls. Im Soooo very looking forward to the Monster Hunter Wilds beta next week. I haven't given up on Unicorn Overlord though as I'm about half way through it I think (52hrs)

Re: Random: Killzone Superfans Want to License the IP from Sony
Killzone died for a reason. And what would be the point of licensing the IP without the game engine.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 551
After a week long exhausting trip I'm looking forward to sleeping. But I might sneak some Unicorn overlord in tomorrow as it's pretty easy to jump back In.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 550

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 548
Welp can you guess what I'm playing?
Yeah, more Unicorn Overlord if/when i get some time this weekend. Been a rough one as co workers are on Holiday.
Have a good one folks!
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Wins Over PlayStation Fans
$10 for better visuals, new dialogue and dualsense feature at 60 fps is a no-brainer.
Re: Superb Strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord Tops 1 Million Sales
The demo absolutely sold me on this game. Now I'm 45 hrs in and loving it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 547
42 hours into Unicorn Overlord and it's still good. But I'm counting down the days till Sparking Zero!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Have a great gaming weekend folks!
Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Confirms 12 Dragon Ball GT Characters
