Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?

Agramonte

I am fine if they want to make this. A BackBone is $99, you still need to use your own phone. And unfortunately most modern phones have the wrong aspect ratio these days.

But they should also release a Dedicated App for the SteamDeck and Ally

What can the profit margin on these be... Even if the sell the App I would pay for it for my Steamdeck.

Steamdeck and Ally are not tied to any store like Switch, Android or Apple. So they can sell it directly and 100% profit.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 486

1. F1 2023
2. Back on Diablo

Finished FF16... and then called my Brother to say hello and have a chat - he is also a great big brother 😊

These are the type of games that keep me in gaming... Loved it!. SE Creepy guy design is fantastic, just him makes my ArtBook pre-order worth it.

My Wife said we should try and find the soundtrack on Vinyl. She is not a gamer - always amazing when she appreciates the talent in these games from a non gaming perspective.

I really hope there is some Story DLC.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Fends Off Final Fantasy 16

Agramonte

Wait...

-Not every game is a cartoon?...
-You have wRPG and jRPG?....
-Both Nintendo and Sony exclusives?...
-Games with both Western and Japanese Pop culture icons?...
-Top 3rd party games, including ones that give Jobs to Digital Artist in the country I live in (Thank You 👍)...

Even looks like gamers play games on both 4K Home Consoles and Handheld hardware 🤯

Imagine that!

Oh wait... it is the UK chart not the Japanese one. Never mind, this is normal 😉

Anyway, Loving FF16. F1 2023 not up there anymore, but it is a blast! (needs PSVR2)

Re: Japanese Final Fantasy 16 Sales Plummet by 90% in Second Week

Agramonte

I played what basically was "Attack on Titan" boss fight in FF16. Cranked up the battle music, big smile on my face. Amazing!

Japan will be 9% of the PS5 base at best (just like PS4)... no need to cater to their taste.

Outside FF top 10 is all CARTOONS!... one is straight up a cartoon Digital Novel 🤦‍♂️

Hogwarts Legacy sold 31K, SF6 33K and Jedi 16K in week 1 in Japan. The market is monotone.

Re: Monster Hunter Rise Another Colossal Hit for Capcom, Tops 13 Million Sales

@Bentleyma

Well, tons of people like me who will play it one way or another.

I waited for the PC version, and I knew that was as good as it was going to get in the visual department. Like I said, it is fun... but Capcom has proven they can make fun and great looking games.

If they release an Upgrade Patch, I bet it will be a top download on Steam.

Re: Even with Final Fantasy 16, PS5 Can't Outsell Switch in Japan

Agramonte

One Piece Odyssey,
Hogwarts Legacy,
Forbidden West,
Jedi: Survivor,
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,
Diablo4,
F1-23,
FF16...

1 of 8 game I played the last 6 months on Day 1 were available on my Switch (or assuming best sellers in Japan) List easily Justifies my PS5.

Just be happy we are not only stuck with what most Japanese play (or plays on)... To each their own.

Re: PS5 Exclusive Final Fantasy 16 Hits a Slightly Skewed 3 Million Sales at Launch

Agramonte

Nice! I am loving it!

The battle system exploded at this point. I had a giant smile on my face with the last Boss battle.

And that battle music!!!! I am crazy about it. Last night I was sure a big fight was coming and paused the game and got my very best headphones.

It is like that part in CONTROL where they tell you to put on the headphones. And the music just makes the action so much better.

"The Ring" scene earlier in the game was amazing. SE creepiness at its best! 😅🤣

This guy is jRPG GOLD!

Re: The Atomic Heart Story Continues in Annihilation Instinct DLC

Agramonte

Played it on PC GamePass, it was fun. Opened up after the first base and a bit in (glad I stuck with it). Really liked how imaginative the world is.

I'll get it at some point. If play the game on PC GamePass, I'll usually try and give a bit more cash to the team via DLC (as a rule)

The soundtrack was what I really loved. Still have a few tracks on my main Spotify playlist.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy 16?

Agramonte

For sure! Start tomorrow.

Took Friday and Monday as personal days. So one hell of a FF game session. Had it planned for months.

Big fan of the single player series and been playing FF-XIV for years (Endwalker is brilliant)

Re: God of War Ragnarok Sales Are Increasing in the UK

Agramonte

Well, it is a great game.

Sublime Driving, VR Support, Steamdeck support... F1 2023 is a racing fan dream come true. Codmasters nailed it.

Done with Zelda and Jedi... just waiting for FF16.

It has been a fantastic stretch of games. Fighting, Driving, jRPG, wRPG, Action - something new for a bunch of genres on PS5.

Re: So, Final Fantasy 16 Will Have a Day One Patch on PS5 After All

Agramonte

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom had a Day 1 patch.

On PC not only do we have Day 1 patches, you also get Day 1 Graphic Driver updates (and hot fix for those patches)

Hell, sometimes the Windows Store/XBOX App needs updating before new PC GamePass games can install. On top of Day 1 patches and graphics drivers updates.

If the game is fun, I do not care. Patch away.
