I wonder if the points expire like in the Nintendo eshop. I had around 5€ of points there that took me forever to gather, just to have them expire on me.
I think it starts really strong with a nice story and characters but it totally ***** the bed on the last 2 episodes by going waaaaay over the top, but that's Studio Trigger for you, they're basically the studio that churns shows that look like the parodies you see about anime. Should've gone with studios that are more used to mature stories like Production I.G. or Madhouse.
I'm going to pass on this one. Combat was kinda fun, but the map was just barren, I spent more time breaking crates for crystals than actually fighting.
Don't know why people still think there will be a showcase. If you look at the 1st party studios you can take guesses at where they are with their projects based on industry knowledge alone and most of them have nothing to show unless you would like just CG trailers galore. As for 3rd party, those games have been shown on other game shows already,
So by doing the challenges alone you need 61 days to reach level 55, which is the duration of the battlepass (2 months). So basically if you miss a day, you get the hero locked, I wonder how do you unlock it afterwards, do the old BPs stay available like avengers, or do they rotate out and you need to fork over 20€ or something to unlock the heroes.
The "This is horrible for devs" thing just shows how stupid it is for this industry to be so secretive. If the studios were more open about projects, work in progress and dev diaries we wouldn't have kerfufles like this one (apart from the stolen source code).
It's too much already. Doing this cheapens the end of 6, you know....the end of HIS STORY. Let the dude retire, this makes it seem like they're afraid to write a new compelling main char, when Ichiban is perfectly fine (maybe even more so than Kiryu).
Why do devs keep doing this. Just show it at TGS. Now people will tune in and they'll show the same things for a 3rd time (the other news were done earlier this year already) with a new RE4 trailer that shows 2 new minutes of footage. It's tiresome, to be honest.
These dudes really cannot stick with a naming convention eh? I like that they're honoring the original name, but its weird that they skipped 7 and now it's "Like a Dragon 8" ?!
By the way, this is helmed by Nioh 2's director, so it may be another "nioh-like". Also, it's set during the Bakumatsu period, thank jeebus, enough with the Sengoku games.
It was nice. Didn't go expecting much. Project Eve continues to look great, and I liked the new "Nioh" shame that one is slatted for 2014. GoW trailer was cool, but I honestly don't need to see more of that game.
We'll probably get some of the announcements that we got in the direct already. Also, the hype around these are the people's fault, everyone hypes themselves up to a tizzy and then get disappointed. Expect nothing and you'll be surprised in the positive sometimes.
Well, it's not like they had lack of feedback. But everyone and their mother is going after that Destiny-like cash cow, when they don't even realize that people hate how Destiny is monetized to hell and back, the only reason it doesn't sink now is that people are way too invested/addicted already.
"XXXXXXXXXXX is Spiders Studio's best game to date, but one too many bugs and tech issues hold it back from greatness." - every Spiders' games released Jokes aside, its nice that it is a good game, maybe I'll pick it up at a discount.
Remember when they said for 15 years that an AC set in Japan was too obvious of a setting and then we got that game that looked like AC in japan and sold a ***** load?
It's weird that they didn't release a special edition for this and ragnarok in EU, I wonder if they're moving away from those. The Horizon FW one was kinda nice, I always tend to get these for Sony 1st party games.
If it is playable on TGS we'll probably get a demo not much after. They really like to do those and get community feedback (which was awesome for Nioh2 tbh).
So, long story short is that it took them 4 games to start getting it right? Snark aside, I only tried Men of Medan and it was....quite bad. How are the other 2? Think people said that House of Ashes was fine-ish?!
@Flaming_Kaiser Easy there sailor, I'm posting in a Playstation centric site, who said I was hating? This is most likely the side-effect of being aquired by Sony. Bungie now has monetary security to have bigger and better servers, this will help them with keep larger game worlds/maps etc. It could've also helped with the change to the engine (which I don't believe it was the reason or else we would've gotten smaller game files on the game already).

Last gen versions apart (which really shouldn't have been released) people seem to forget the absolute mess that the Witcher 3 was when it released.

I liked it, so I'll get it. Apart from that, don't really care.

Ok, so it's not Toukiden. This actually got me a little excited. Looking forward to it.

Re: PUBG Dev's Unannounced Project Flexes Its Unreal Engine 5 Muscle in Ultra-Violent Trailer
Seems cool, but it's just a concept CG trailer for a project so.....

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Set to Return in October with a New Trailer
@Ryall Oh sorry, thought you were talking about FF7 part 2, not Crisis Core.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Set to Return in October with a New Trailer
@Ryall Why? That game will come more than a half a year later than 16
Re: Go Behind the Screams with The Chant, Sending Shivers Down Spines on 3rd November
This game is looking more and more interesting.

Re: Like a Dragon: Ishin! Won't Have an English Dub
Kiryu-dono, degozaru.
Re: More Resident Evil Updates Coming in October Showcase
Why do devs keep doing this. Just show it at TGS.
Now people will tune in and they'll show the same things for a 3rd time (the other news were done earlier this year already) with a new RE4 trailer that shows 2 new minutes of footage. It's tiresome, to be honest.
Re: Hey, Super Promising PS5, PS4 Co-op Shooter The First Descendant Still Looks Really Good
This looks way too good for an online shooter. It will either be extremly short or have severe issues.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
Rise of the Ronin. GoW is nice, but it's more GoW, which is nice but not groundshattering.
Re: PS5's Rise of the Ronin Is an Open World Action RPG, Team Ninja Confirms
@Elodin It's set during the Bakumatsu, no more daimyos here, probably no more Shogun either.
Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden Is a Smaller Action Game Starring Kiryu in 2023
I'm really excited for this but I kinda wish they left Kiryu alone. They should've killed him at the end of 6.
Re: Like a Dragon 8 Announced for PS5, PS4 in 2024, Kiryu Is Back

Re: Rise of the Ronin Is a New Team Ninja Action Game, PS5 Console Exclusive Set for 2024
By the way, this is helmed by Nioh 2's director, so it may be another "nioh-like".
Also, it's set during the Bakumatsu period, thank jeebus, enough with the Sengoku games.
Re: Feudal Japan Yakuza Spinoff Like a Dragon: Ishin! Is Finally Coming West in February 2023
YEEEESSSHHHH!! I played it in japanese, was awesome, don't know what the heck was going on.
Re: Poll: Was Sony's Latest State of Play a Show to Remember?
It was nice. Didn't go expecting much. Project Eve continues to look great, and I liked the new "Nioh" shame that one is slatted for 2014.
GoW trailer was cool, but I honestly don't need to see more of that game.
Re: Wii Exclusive Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Heads West on PS5, PS4 Next Year

Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Casts Voice Talent from Bloodborne
Nice.
Beatrice didn't have that many lines in the first game, so it should be fine. A bit sad that the VA for Lucas isn't returning.
