It is not ff anymore in my opinion. I did not like ff7 remakes changes to the story and ABSOLUTELY dont appreciate the action direction they took.

Mmm not a very big investment for Sony money wise... A tv show is coming i believe...smart move to remaster part 1. It worked for last of us as well.
People on this site seem to forget we are the minority by far.
Also i get really tired with the doom and gloom surrounding every darn thing Sony does. It is so overblown.

Day one! Well it would have been if it came with a disc drive and wasnt 800 euro.
Ridiculous price. I dont care how good it is.

awww..i didnt know they were not included great headline. thx.
you look like amateurs with headlines like this

I wanna buy this day one so bad. But as a divorced dad with 5 and 8 year old sons money is not i great supply ...and well astro bot is coming as well.
I will buy this eventually!

Lot of people saying of sony does just this or that. Give us socom! Give us mag! Killzone! Those games werent sellers. Do you really think we the people here are the target? Ofcourse not. We are the obsessive few, coming to gamesites is NOT the mainstream.
Remember the poll for the streaming device? It was negative as Heck on this site. And it still is a succes.
The problem is not concord. Or Sony. It is the whole industry. Xdefiant is almost dead as well for example. Dont companies realise that people are invested in Fortnite, wow, ff14 et al? You are not gonna pry them away from that with anything. To much time invested already.
Look at helldivers. In the beginning it was fun, something new! And the numbers have dropped like a stone.
I understand why they try, cause big money! But the ship has sailed.

This game was doa. It never ever got a fair chance.
I was never the target audience for this (jrpg ftw) but even i could see the press leading up to this was abysmal.
I feel for the people who made this. Whatever you may think of this they put their sweat into it. And the game is not a terrible game to play either if the reviews are correct.
Harsh.

Day one with disk, day none without

So they are non-actively working on it?

I hate this with a passion. Is it a big problem? No. Is it annoying as hell? Yes! Aaargh

@thefourfoldroot1 i wanna know to. You are not alone!

of all the games mentioned in this article, ys is the day one for me.

In so tired of this. I am currently playing warhammer 40k rogue trader, a game from december 2023, and it is still not optimised. Dont get me wrong, i really enjoy it (more then bg3 actually) but damn it is still not a smooth ride.
Same for this apparently, the game is out for months and now you get an optimisation patch?
Keep it in the oven longer then ffs.
And yes i am to blame as well for buying it at day one and thus accepting the status quo. But i am so tired of this...

Arise was very mediocre for me so i hope the next one will be better

There is a difference between making a difficult game and a game that is difficult because your camera sucks or because you get stuck behind the terrain etc . Most deaths in Elden ring for me were due to a wonky camera or getting stuck on a rock i shouldnt be getting stuck on.

A decent 7. But not a main line ff title. Change some names and slap a new title on it (last retribution, infinite desperation or some other awesomely bad name) and you wouldnt have bat an eye lid.

I platted Elden ring through sheer willpower, but the last doZen of hours were so so bad. As in i stopped gaming for a couple of weeks because i was burned out bad.
I do not and never will understand the hype for this game. Ofcourse it is all opinion.

Nope wont buy it then.

Thank god , that means it stays at 100% completion and i dont have to suffer this game again. The last couple of hours of Elden ring were so bad.

Lets hope we get more lego dino machines. The tallneck is awesome.

@jorel262 they still have it at.bol.com. i am in the Netherlands though.

Good news! I backed eiyuden and it is a blast

I will most definitely play it. I just hope no auto pop plat. That is so stupid. (I know, just dont import save then, i just wanted to vent against auto pop plats)

Day one of i have the Moolah. I am a sucker for these things. And i dont care

Bought remake day one. Will buy this one in a sale.
I did not care for the changes to the story. At all.

Good thingy backlog is massive. Ill pick this up when they patch in a stable framerate

I will buy it because i am want it. It is the only reason for me. I have all Sony tv consoles (and psp, vita and psvr 1 and 2) so i want this one as well.
I guess i am the target audience and i dont care.
U dont like a ps5pro? Dont buy one for chimps sake, and leave those who do alone.

I want the news feed we also have on the ps4. What trophies your friends earned etc. Miss that.

On a sidenote, i wonder how much of these lay offs are a corona correction.
I have no data to back this theory, but during lockdown loads of games were sold because it was a entertainment source you could play home.
What if developers hired people based on those two years, and now we go back to more 'normal' (hah!) Situations those extra people all laid off.
Whatever the reason, it sucks if you lose your job.

I just recently platted evil West and i had a blast. There were problems, Oh there were problems but somehow it looks like sony has forgotten to make games like that. Some people call it AA i guess.
Also, all the subscriptions cant be helping. All i know is subjective, but if i look at myself i just dont buy as much as i used to. And ps premium is a big part of that. The backlog is always full with an subscription.

And here i was thinking they would say; 'we will be slacking off, why try when you are number one?'

Who could have guessed money was the driving force for a company! In the end the console wars mean nothing in the face of a bottom line.

Great review and i am so glad i cancelled the pre order. 20 hour campaign? No thank you, and the post content doesnt trigger me at all.
On sale maybe....maybe...

I played days gone and spiderman back to back and i had way more fun with days gone.
Shame it doesnt come back, would have loved a sequel

I am not to judge. In fact i should probably do some research into this to make up my own mind.
Being open minded is important.

I could complain etc etc but it will be bought day one. It will be mine, Oh yes, it will be mine

Good. Ff16 is just an generic action game with the ff logo slapped upon it.

Yes!!
Thats all from me.
A very heartfelt yes!!

When on sale ill might dip.
on the wishlist it goes!

1. Trails into reverie.
2. Octopath traveller 2
3. Trail to Azure
4. Sea of stars
5. Baldurs gate 3

My least favorite ace combat, didnt even finish it. Why? I really dont know exactly, it just didnt grab me. And i loved all the others. Oh well.

No thank you. Make something else.

@djlard i have the same with nier titles.
Nier is actually the Dutch word for kidney.

Pro yeah, slim nope

For me a very strong month. Love it

Only the hardest playthrough left for the plat!
And gosh darn are those rot cute

I played until level 63 or so. Got bored. Ill wait a year until i try again. Lets see the state of the game then.
Right now it is not in a good place imo.
And the crap they pull with nerfs and battle pass shenanigans is just icing on the cake.

@Athrum cold steel 1 and 2 were actually ps3 and vita games. 3 and 4 are better looking.

Wow settlers. I remember playing the crap out of the first and second ones.
Ill wait for an sale as my backlog is huge, but colour me intrigued

This should be played with Japanese voices. It enhances the experience no end
