@Blacksmith1985 Didn't they say Summer 2024?

Not the studio I was expecting.........woof....

The funny part is, people will gobble up this crap like there's no tomorrow.

I like that people complain about genitalia (something we all have) and sex (something completely natural) but guns, violence, drugs etc is fine.

Yeah my interest in this game keeps waning and waning. It looked really nice 6 years ago, but now there are just more interesting things to play and they keep postponing the information, ***** that.

@Tomato_Goose My dude, if you haven't tried, go for Honkai Star Rail. It's so good.

@Cashews FF14, 7R and 16 beg do differ, and those were all done in the last 10 years as you said.

Edit: And that's just the FF games, you had DQXI, Octopath 1 and 2 and other games in the mix.

@AgentGuapo The first thing you hear when you boot the game is "Listen to my story"

This worked really well for them with Yakuza 5 /s
It's a skip for me, unless I buy the Japanese copy.

@nessisonett I have that on my LinkedIn profile. Should I remove it?

@Triumph741 I've played the early access and Divinity 2. In their case is quality and quantity.

It's funny how they changed the game to make you stay in it as long as possible (player engagement is wonderful for stakeholder calls, and the more time you spend in game higher the chance of you spending money at the store).
Even the damn teleport was raised from 3 seconds to 5

@LifeGirl I'm sure all those 0 and 1s were placed using critical reasoning.

Really looking forward to this game, and the scene is funny, it was played like a joke (you even see a squirrel drop his nuts) but people are taking it out of proportion.

The show wasn't thiiiis good.

Don't get me wrong, I really liked the first Trails of Cold Steel, and I'm halfway through the second one, but how is it possible that these games still look like late PS2 early PS3 games? Geez

It sucks. But also, why would you play this in english?

@Ravix Still a bit isometric but highly detailed and you can zoom on the characters. Also all interactions are animated, its not just walls of text anymore. Check a couple of trailers, you may like it.

@Ravix The first 2 BG games use what was called the Infinity engine, the games were isometric CPRGS that played in real time though you could pause them to give commands to your party.
This one is turn based, it's basically more Divinity Original Sin 3 than Baldur's Gate 3. The story will be largely unrelated to the first 2 games (since that story was over and this one is set more than 100 years after the second game). You may see some know faces (2 of your old party members will be in the game due to magic or being long lived races) and familiar places but that's about it.
The old games may be hard to play now mainly due to how they look, but I absolutely love them. If you're curious, try to play Divinity Original Sin 2 and you'll get the gist of how this game will play.

I didn't even know Yakuza had an english dub.
Must suck for the 5 guys that play in english.

@Nepp67 I know that the game was first made with English in mind. The script was supposedly written in English first. But yeah as you said, it is quite odd, specially after them boasting in how they used AI to generate the English lip sync for FF7R.

I really like the game, but there are some things that made me disappointed.
The frame rate dips a looot when you're in a open field.
Motion blur is dialed to 11, and there's no option to lower it or remove it.
Japanese lip sync is horrible to a point where it looks like you're watching one of those old Mexican soap operas dubbed. I know the game was made for English audio, but they should've synched it for Japanese (like other jrpgs do, including all other FF's since 12)

"We have Persona at home"

The trailer is so awesome. The name is so stupid. Please just stick with the numbers.

Saying his codename is Joryu is like me saying my name isn't Miguel, it's Manuel

I'm gonna be honest, I thought this had come out already.

I'll play with Spider-man

Yeesh, hope the paycheck was worth it though

Unfortunately the only thing that seemed worthwhile for me is Silent Hill F, and that should release in 2026 or something...

I don't understand why people that like digital media want to advocate for a digital only future. Dude, you be you, let me be me. If I want to buy a physical game what's the harm in having both choices?!

@KidRyan Nah, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain would be as one game. He told me Vol1 had 1,2 and 4 and Vol2 had 3, Peace Walker and V.

Remember when they said that Haven was doing something innovating?!

@KidRyan The person that leaked these to me told me there were 2 volumes with the 6 main games. He did get something wrong through, he told me volume 1 would be the Solid Snake games and volume 2 would be the Big Boss games.

No buy for me, I'll probably just play one of them "free versions" on PC

@Feena Hahaha. But no seriously, check the first trailer after Platinum dropped the project, think its from 2018, looks waaay better.

How does this game look worse after 6 years of development? The environments look so empty.

I told you it was 2 volumes. You can go check my post

I usually like all these, but I felt it was a bit underwhelming.

Would be quite fine. I'm not looking forward to Final Fantasy 21 to be honest.

I played the game for awhile, it's good fun but it's not for me. But....I love the design of the killers, some of them are eerie as *****.

The MGS collection is real, it will be a 2 part collection. One featuring Solid Snake's games and the other with Big Boss' games.

They're going to announce a 2 part MGS collection, mark my words.
One of the volumes will have the 3 Solid Snake games and the other will have the 3 Big Boss games.

They really need to stop putting Joe on these. I know he's the director but the dude is just reading what he's saying.

No physical release, so didn't buy them

I don't believe ReLink will be out this year. We're basically in May and there's no release date, also the game was also "still settled for release" in 2020, 2021 and 2022 xD

It's a 7. The villain is basically non-existant although I did like the last boss fight, the new character is a bit annoying, written like an MCU character and the attempted romance came out of nowhere. Also only 1 new machine.

I've tried the game and the combat and art are absolutely fantastic but it is marred by the gacha characters and same leveling system as Genshin Impact
