@riccyb0y I tend to boot up my PS5 before the TV goes on. It's reassuring to have the beep. Plus sometimes I catch my controller when I didn't mean to (I know that's a me problem)
I wish this one had launched on PS + same to as it has on Gamepass. It looks good however I got too many games to play to take a risk on an online game at almost full price
These days you have to be your own ethics board when it comes to get plats - i don't condemn anyone who joins a game for an instant plat, or plays plat games - I just wouldn't do it (anymore)
I really like the character art, however as it's a BR game, I probably won't bother, unless I can be convinced. Is this better than stuff like Fortnite and PUBG? (If I don't like those, will I like bladepoint?)
I don't understand why you wouldn't go physical - unless you have a disc only console - as I got the game cheaper on disc than the digital store was selling it for.
@Amnesiac I didn't mind Virtual Stars and really liked Ninja Wars, however I agree - as to me, the game engine Compile Heart/Idea Factory used is old and dated.
@LightningLeader dude quit years ago to move to Cygames. It could survive on Switch since we've had Peach Ball there. And I honestly didn't mind the toned down Neptunia Ninja wars.
I just don't think Marvelous care anymore since Story of Seasons is making them money
@EaglyPurahfan it's in the Crystar series. Crystar isn't a bad game just very repetitive if you go for platinum trophies, otherwise for a single run thru I'd recommend.
Not to be cliche, however reviews never meant much to me. So many janky games I really like, and many reviews sites (including this one) giving them scores like 5/10
Is the ammo economy better now? I remember playing this a couple years back and I always ran out of ammo. Luckily high level player dumped a load of ammo on me, however after that ran out I just gave up

Re: Fans Vote Clive the Second Best Final Fantasy Protagonist
Clive is pretty great. My only complaint is that ending to his game. I was hoping for something closer to the end of Tales of Arise.
Re: Veteran FromSoftware Composer Yuka Kitamura Departs to Begin Freelance Adventure
Best part of the From games IMO. Hopefully she'll return to From games, maybe Dark Souls IV
Re: Sony Seemingly Forces Nintendo to Remove Rubbish The Last of Us Ripoff from Switch's Store
It should have been removed for being shovelware (which haunts all store fronts to be fair with Nintendo)
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Reveals Five Months of Paid DLC, Free Updates
I just bought it. Tempted to wait till end of the year to play it to see all these balanced.
Re: Lost Soul Aside Pushes PS5 to Its Limits, Likely Cancelled on PS4
@Jaz007 F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is Chinese made and is excellent
Re: New PS5 Firmware Beta Starts Today, Bigger SSD Support, Extra Features
@riccyb0y I tend to boot up my PS5 before the TV goes on. It's reassuring to have the beep. Plus sometimes I catch my controller when I didn't mean to (I know that's a me problem)
Re: PS5, PS4's Superb Sim Racer Gran Turismo 7 Grows Again Next Month
Needs more tracks and championships. I've put this game down as I've done everything.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Beta Starts Today, Bigger SSD Support, Extra Features
I'm not sure why you'd want to mute the beep. That's basically the POST sound to let you know it's working IIRC.
Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
Cecil from 4. Easily best growth and evolution of a character throughout out a FF game.
Re: Feast on Some Footage from PS5, PS4's Long Anticipated Lost Soul Aside
This and Stellar Blade seemingly disappear and reappear at intervals. Need a solid date.
Re: Rumour: Tekken 8 Leak Confirms More Returning Characters
They had me @ Asuka 😂

@Mattlong78 aaand there's listings already

Re: Where to Pre-Order Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Console and DualSense Controller
Got the controller. I wonder how many bought to use versus sell.
I'll be opening mine to use. Too nice to keep locked up
Re: Latest Like a Dragon May Have Really Erased Its PS5, PS4 Retail Release
Digital only? Alright then, I'll just wait for deep sale.
Re: Shrek, Po, and Boss Baby Burn Rubber in DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing
Give me Skipper, Private, Rico and Kowalski and I'm in
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Members Get This Anticipated PS5, PS4 RPG on Day One Next Month
I really enjoyed The Messenger, plus Vincent Jones from Aether Realm is helping with the audio, so that's another reason to play in my books.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Pikmin and Horses Overtake Most PS5, PS4 Games in the Top 10
Thumbnail reminds of Pro Evo 6 when you could play as a penguin or a dinosaur
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 486
Will finish off Like a Dragon: ishin! This weekend and move onto Sonic Frontiers.
Re: Comical FPS High on Life Really Is Coming to PS5, PS4
Glad I waited and didn't plug in my Xbox. Do want to try this one.
Re: Try Out PS5's Weirdest New Game with a PS Plus Premium Trial
Played it. Despite the jank the loop is very satisfying. Definitely one to pick up in the sales.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Review?
I wish this one had launched on PS + same to as it has on Gamepass. It looks good however I got too many games to play to take a risk on an online game at almost full price
Re: Gex Is Back! The Complete PS1 Trilogy Comes to PS5, PS4
Hopefully Danny John-Jules will be a voice option. He was great on Gex 3 European version
Re: 18 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
If I didn't already own Samurai Warriors 5, I'd be most excited for that. It's excellent
Re: Final Fantasy 16 DLC Is Now an Option Being Considered by Square Enix
Give me a Jill playable chapter and Torgal chapter. I'd be very happy if you did.
Re: Stranded Deep PS4 Update Inadvertently Causes Platinum Trophy Domino Effect
These days you have to be your own ethics board when it comes to get plats - i don't condemn anyone who joins a game for an instant plat, or plays plat games - I just wouldn't do it (anymore)
Re: Exoprimal's PS5, PS4 Platinum Looks Time Consuming But Not Impossible
Wish it was on ps plus like it's on gamepass. Would have been the perfect game for the service. Don't see this doing well at retail.
Re: Feature: Your Top 10 PS5, PS4 Games of 2023 So Far
Definitely agree with the top 2. For me I'd have Octopath II in 3rd. Man I love that game.
Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Be Real, But Recent Leaks Aren't
I just hope it stays turn based.
Re: Random: Final Fantasy 16 Theme Song's Official Music Video Equal Parts Sombre, Melodramatic
If the vocal track plays at the end, I'm still to get there, however overall I've been enjoying FF XVI and its music.
I'd say top 5 for me. (Factor in recency bias and that I'm a bigger fan of the 3D games over the 2D ones.)
Re: PlayStation and Other Gaming Titans Flock to Twitter Rival Threads
I couldn't care less where Sony etc are. It's just really annoying that for a time you needed a Twitter account to get help.
Re: Mythical Melee Battle Royale Naraka: Bladepoint Slices PS5, PS4 for Free
@Constable_What you mention Devil May Cry, so to me, that's enough for me to try it, plus it's free, so surely it cannot hurt to try it?
Re: Mythical Melee Battle Royale Naraka: Bladepoint Slices PS5, PS4 for Free
I really like the character art, however as it's a BR game, I probably won't bother, unless I can be convinced. Is this better than stuff like Fortnite and PUBG? (If I don't like those, will I like bladepoint?)
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection: All Games Included and What to Play First
Why not the original MSX ver of Metal Gear? I would presume they're using the ports for Metal Gear 1 and 2 that were created for MGS3 Subsistence.
Re: Trails, Ys Dev Falcom Working on Something 'Brand New'
Tokyo Xanadu 2? One can dream
Re: Over 56% of Final Fantasy 16 UK Launch Sales Were Digital, But the Charts Only Count Physical
I don't understand why you wouldn't go physical - unless you have a disc only console - as I got the game cheaper on disc than the digital store was selling it for.
Re: Rebuild a Defunct Gaming Company with Anime Waifus in New PS5, PS4 Neptunia
@Amnesiac I didn't mind Virtual Stars and really liked Ninja Wars, however I agree - as to me, the game engine Compile Heart/Idea Factory used is old and dated.
Re: Expect New Info on Loads of PS5, PS4 Anime Games This Weekend
@LightningLeader dude quit years ago to move to Cygames. It could survive on Switch since we've had Peach Ball there. And I honestly didn't mind the toned down Neptunia Ninja wars.
I just don't think Marvelous care anymore since Story of Seasons is making them money
Re: Rogue Legacy 2 (PS5) - A Worthy Heir to the Rogue-Lite Throne
Unremarkable narrative? Imo that isn't the point of the game, the gameplay is, although I do agree with the 9/10 (no game is a 10).
Loved this one and just got the plat a day back
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2023?
Another month where I own a game, Alan wake, however I was never going to buy Black Ops so I'm happy to see that being offered
Re: Expect New Info on Loads of PS5, PS4 Anime Games This Weekend
One day, one day we'll get a new Senran Kagura...
Re: Yakuza Series Creator, Former Developers Disappear from Credits in New Collection
Iirc Marvelous got dragged under the bus for doing this. I hope Sega get the sake treatment.
No Nagoshi, no LAD. No support studios, no games.
Re: Mechanical Girls Strive to Survive CRYMACHINA on PS5, PS4 This October
@EaglyPurahfan it's in the Crystar series. Crystar isn't a bad game just very repetitive if you go for platinum trophies, otherwise for a single run thru I'd recommend.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Is Out for PS5 on 24th October
Shame it doesn't include the MGS1 Integral ver of the original, I've never had the chance to play that ver.
Re: First Final Fantasy 16 Review Awards a Near-Perfect Score
Not to be cliche, however reviews never meant much to me. So many janky games I really like, and many reviews sites (including this one) giving them scores like 5/10

Re: Random: Talented Pixel Artist Recreates Chrono Trigger's Leene Square in Glorious HD-2D
Square Enix - do a 2D-HD port of Chrono Trigger and we might forgive the NFT rubbish
Re: Gorgeous Gacha Tower of Fantasy's PS5, PS4 Ascent Begins on 8th August
Looks pretty however I only have time to play one F2P gacha title, so i'll stick with Azur Lane.
Re: Preview: Eternights Puts Some Indie in Your Persona
@Enuo good to see someone repping Tokyo Xanadu. Falcom need to do a sequel, I prefer it to Ys.
Cautiously optimistic about eternights, simply because I've never heard of the studio making it
Re: The Calisto Protocol's Story DLC Is a Timed PS5, PS4 Exclusive for, Er, 48 Hours
If I was a Xbox user I'd stay off the internet for 48 hours!
(Real talk: this is really daft exclusive)
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2023?
A Hat in Time is great, although I've already played it, so Rogue Legacy 2 for me will be my first
