Re: Dragon Quest X Offline Hits Japan Next Year on PS5, PS4, But Still No Word on a Western Release

AyanamiReign

So strange it's not confirmed for a global release, I know there's no way we'd get the MMO but an offline version seems to be the solution they needed to release it over here.
Makes less sense releasing it only in Japan as they can already play the entire story content of this game for free in the Online version instead of paying full price for what is essentially a remake with (debatably) worse graphics...

Re: Bandai Namco Reveals New Logo, Everyone Hates It

'Fun for all' With the least fun looking logo I could imagine.
In fact to me it screams 'we are now a professional company' and not a company that makes fun, anime games.
I wasn't a big fan of their original logo but it's way better and more distinctive.

Re: Soapbox: I Don't Know How to Feel About This PS4-to-PS5 Upgrade Uproar

I don't agree with £70 games, so far I've waited on a sale for all the PS5 games I've bought rather than paying that.
I fully expected Sony to be doing what Xbox's Smart Delivery is, just without the marketing term.
I also think Sony know our expectations perfectly well and are trying to get away with whatever they can knowing they can backtrack if there's enough fuss, like they've done.

Re: Bethesda Apologises to PS5, PS4 Fans 'P*ssed' at Exclusivity

AyanamiReign

Making a previously multiplatform series exclusive always sucks.
If MS hadn't purchased them, these games would all have come to Playstation.
Whereas Playstation seem to be bankrolling at least a couple of brand new studios to create new IP recently, which increases the number of games available overall, even if they are exclusive.

Re: Poll: Did E3 2021 Suck?

AyanamiReign

Elden Ring was the best thing out of the show.
Nintendo's I kinda ruined for myself by hoping for a Switch Pro + Bayonetta 3 announcement or BotW 2 to be out this year...

From Square Enix I was hoping for Tomb Raider, FFXVI, Forspoken... and none of that turned up. Guardians looked good but maybe not great gameplay-wise.

Microsoft had a good showing tbh but I obviously can't get hyped for stuff the PS isn't getting.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Horizon Forbidden West?

AyanamiReign

I want it but if there's something else out around the same time I'd probably pick it up second. The first game was good but it wasn't on the level of GoW or TLoU nor as fun as Ghost of Tsushima imo.
The premise and lore I found really compelling but the actual side quests and acting not so much.

Re: Don't Hold Your Breath for Bethesda's Starfield on PS5, PS4

AyanamiReign

Do we have the numbers somewhere for sales of Skyrim on PC vs XBox vs PS vs Nintendo? Using that as an indicator it'd be interesting to see how many sales they're potentially skipping out on. Half?
If this wasn't Microsoft with their limitless money they'd have to reduce the budget to adjust and remain profitable right?

Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Losing Ground to Xbox?

AyanamiReign

Is XBox gaining ground? Certainly, because of the Zenimax deal they now have exclusives to look forward to in a few years time.
Gamepass though? I'm still unconvinced it's sustainable and can Sony eat that sort of a loss? I don't think they can respond beyond what they're already doing with the PS+ collection, Play at Home initiative and making PS+ better with their game choices.
At the end of the day, if you want to play the new God of War/The Last of Us/ Ghost of Tsushima etc you need to own a PS5. The worst thing Sony could do is start launching these games elsewhere.

Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?

AyanamiReign

I might have been interested in trying the next Starfield and Elder Scrolls games assuming they got amazing reviews but I literally have zero current investment in any of these series.
Most of them fill that 'I'd probably like them if I tried them but never got around to it' space.
Tried Dishonored, didn't like it. Tried a multiplayer beta for Doom and didn't like it but think I might if I tried the singleplayer... I was given Skyrim for the 360 but never actually played it since it sounded like a massive time investment and I was busy playing other stuff.

Re: Sony Japan Studio Winding Down Internal Development Efforts, Says New Report

AyanamiReign

The Gravity Rush games were amazing, it's a shame more people didn't buy them. I also really liked Puppeteer and even Rain, which were released at the end of the PS3's life and was hoping for more indie-type games from them on PS4, which never seemed to happen...
Also it's the amount of Japanese games on Playstation vs XBox that got me onto the Playstation platform in the first place.
