I have been thinking about this for a few days now.
I'm just very disapointed in Push Square that they open the review with a statement, and it is their way or the highway.
Like someone mentioned above, this entire thing has been blown up.
I was not a very frequent replier, but I visited multiple times a day. Yes Past Tense, as I have decided to leave this website as it just bugs me with the stance they have taken on this issue.
This post will prob get deleted, but just knowing they have read it, is enough for me. I hate political crap in my games, movies, comics etc etc. I came here for the Playstation news/reviews, not what Push's stance is on something that has NOTHING to do with the game.
I will buy P3P (never played before) and P4G (played it on Vita and Steam) but I will wait for a sale (if I can keep myself in check....might be too hard with these games though lol)
I love P4G, but not paying full price again. Looking forward to playing it again though!
Been wanting to try this series out for the longest time, and finally bought the first Ryza at 50% off on the store.
Love it. It's just so relkaxing to play, no pressure, no have to grind to level etc, very laid back, relaxing game. Bought part 2 as well while the sale was still going, by the time I am done with that hopefully part 3 is on sale too lol.
I ONLY see Metal Gear remakes happening only becuase that way Konami can remove Kojima's name from all of it, except a small tiny credit you need a magnifying glass to read during the end credits.
I started with Sky on PC, but man, I would love if it was on PS4/5. I'd like to get em all on the same system, and I prefer to plasy these sort of games on a console.
Working on my Back Log this year, but made time for Horizon: FW and Soul Hackers 2. I cheated a bit with my 3rd option, OW2, as I played it mostly on PC. Hope that counts lol.
@AverageGamer The other way around. The people who payed for it, played it...but it's worthless old content, no reason to go back (other then replay with a new char)...hence why there was so little fuss.
I dropped Destiny a few years ago, tried to get back into it when it went FTP, but it was a mess to even know where to start, very confusing, half the content was gone so that didn't help....dropped it again and not going back anymore, done with Destiny.
With a Bioware of 10-15 years ago I would have been excited. But most of the team back then have left and the last 2 Bioware titles were crap, and the last DA, while enjoyable, did not answer many questions just adding more.....it's time they tied up some loose threads, it's been too long and switching writers suffers more.
Atlas don't like money. They will prob just announce P5R for the Switch (if it hasn't already lol, hard to keep up these days) or something lame like that.
Getting this for sure. LOVED the first one (have it on Switch) but will def go with PS5 this time, purely becuase it will undoubtly run better on PS5. (I rarely use the handheldmode of my Switch, I hihly prefer the big screen of my tv)
Eh, skipping this either way. I am one of the very few that did not like the original. Only thing that made the game 'good' imho was the start, and the ending, and then purelky storywise...the rest of the game and gameplay just did not click with me AT ALL.
@Odium 100% agreed. I never really got into Killzone on the 'Big Consoles" but the Vita version was friggin awesome, and it ran so damn smooth. played some online matches with some buddies and this game proved to me Sony were onto something good with the Vita here!
Sadly Sony just could not help themselves digging the grave early for this piece of hardware ahead of it's time. The pricing of the memory cards just killed it doa.
I loved my Vita (have 2 OLED models, one in reserve just in case) but I dont play on it much these days.
Sony killed the Vita DoA with the insane highly priced memory cards. Just....wtf were they thinking. And never backing down from that either, just....crazy.
Has Destiny delivered? No. No it did not. Yes, I played it for many (many) hours, all thanks to the fun group I had to play it with. And it has the best gameplay in a game, they really got that part absolutely right.
But the content, the story (what story), lore, the way they expanded the content with DLC that just felt poor for what you payed.....no.
Some say they got their money's worth just by looking at the hours played. But add all payed DLC packs, and subtract that with the time you were hanging in orbit waiting, or at the Tower getting bounties, and that playtime goes down quite a bit.
I was heavily disappointed in the story. I really could not believe the same studio who made Halo (one of my fave series untill H4 and the reason I got an Xbox way back) made this idiotic, shamefull amateuristic campaign story....
Was planning to Platinum Persona 5, but wanted to check out FF14 Stormblood just a bit before I jump back into that with P5 finished.....well, let's just say that was a mistake.
Still got my fat PS3, got it free buying a Sony TV at the time. (came with Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank)
Wouldn't have gotten one if not for that deal for quite some time, was having a blast on X360. But the PS3 exclusives kept me away quite often after that.
It also did make me realize at the end when the next generation was coming up, which I should go for. Many more PS3 games that I loved compared to the X360.
So looking forward to this!! Been too long since my last DQ (8 on PS2) and really love the style of these games. Turn-based combat is a HUGE plus, love it!
Looks awesome! And I may be the only one, but I really don't like Zelda games anymore since Wind Waker...can't play them anymore, they just annoy the crap out of me with their same set up and typical Nintendo bleeps every. Single. Time.
Is it a bad game? No. Is it the worst ME game? Yes.
This game's biggest mistake was being an open world game. As soon as you get into the non-open world stuff (last planet, some other parts I won't name because spoilers) the game directly feels more ME-y.
Oh, and the combat is a step down. Yes, you yourself had more freedom, but the cost was just way too big imo. I absolutely LOVE the combat system of ME 2 and ME3, where I get to control what my squadmates do and when they do it...it adds some strategy, and I really missed that here.
Despite it's many flaws, I still enjoyed my time playing through it. It had some good mysteries (which now won't be solved I guess....a VERY big f-u to all who did buy the game and enjoyed it enough to play through it) and the crew really started to shine the further you got in the game.
I sometimes feel people forget how the first ME was; nobody liked most of the cast then either; it was ME2 and ME3 that made you love them. Andromeda really feels a lot like the Original ME for me (without the briljant end song though ).
Played it for a few hours, but really....it's pretty meh imo. Gameplay just isn't all that imo, and the heroes are kinda hard to tell apart while playing....
PS4 will be 5 years old at the end of 2018, so yeah, I could see a PS5 release happening then.
Yes, PS4 is on a roll now, so why slow down?
The tech inside the PS4 is pretty outdated, it was at launch because of the bad economie worldwide we had to wait so darn long.
I really don't see a problem, if only for Sony to keep MS at a disadvantage. It has paid off pretty damn well for the PS4.
PS4 Pro being just a few years ago then, doesn't really matter as it's just a minor upgrade.
Scorpio is a bigger threat, IF MS wise up and let the thing get exclusives so they can actually use the full power of the thing.
Announcing a PS5 at E3 will nip that threat in the bud and keep the Playstation brand hot.
Still enjoying it enough so far to keep playing, but damn, do I miss the old battlesystem, ordering my squadmates what to do and make detonation combo's.....(huge) step back imo.
Still the cardboard people though....it's 2017. If they can't put some life in it, just leave it out. Yes, you won't notice it when driving, but then as well...leave it out.
I do hope they fix the boring racing itself. Forza has written a next chapter in that book years ago, and it's time GT went with it.
Oh, and please for the love of God no more endless clicking in menu's for customization or to start a race!

Goodbye, it's been fun.
Re: Final Fantasy 14 World First Raiders Stripped of Achievement, Naoki Yoshida 'Extremely Disappointed'
Idiots. Well deserved to name em and strip em of rewards.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a DualSense Edge?
No interest in this at all. I don't play FPS on my PS5, mostly RPGs and story driven games like Horizon. No need for a pro controller for that.
I have 3 normal Dual Sense controllers; 2 for my PS5 (so I always have one charged when one is empty) and I use one for PC.
Re: Poll: What Review Scores Would You Give Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden?
@CWill97 Nanako is the best!
Story wise, imo P4G is better.
Gameplay wise, it's ofc P5.
I just hope Atlus does not take as long for P6 like they did between P4 and P5 ;(.
Re: Phantom Liberty to Boast the Biggest Budget CDPR Has Ever Allocated to DLC

I love P4G, but not paying full price again. Looking forward to playing it again though!

Re: Trails into Reverie Concludes the Cold Steel Saga in July 2023 for PS5, PS4
They need to get all the games on PS4/5 already.
I started with Sky on PC, but man, I would love if it was on PS4/5.
I'd like to get em all on the same system, and I prefer to plasy these sort of games on a console.

Re: Square Enix Showcases 20 Full Minutes of Octopath Traveler 2 Gameplay
Getting this for sure. LOVED the first one (have it on Switch) but will def go with PS5 this time, purely becuase it will undoubtly run better on PS5.

Re: Syphon Filter (PS1) - Espionage and Intrigue Abounds in This Scruffy Cinematic Shooter
I hope Bend Studio make a new one, for PS5...With both Snake and Sam Fisher as good as dead, Gabe is the only stealth hero we have left!
Re: Best PS Vita Games
@Odium 100% agreed.
I never really got into Killzone on the 'Big Consoles" but the Vita version was friggin awesome, and it ran so damn smooth.
played some online matches with some buddies and this game proved to me Sony were onto something good with the Vita here!
Sadly Sony just could not help themselves digging the grave early for this piece of hardware ahead of it's time.
The pricing of the memory cards just killed it doa.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is Remake 2, PS5 Exclusive, Out Winter 2023
@GorosBat Same reason Xbox players were not crying over the Persona games. They get them so why cry. Same reason here.
It sucks when games are excluded from other systems, but if it is on your system, you dont cry about it.....makes perfect sense imo.
Re: PS Vita's PS Store Says Content Is No Longer for Sale
I loved my Vita (have 2 OLED models, one in reserve just in case) but I dont play on it much these days.
Sony killed the Vita DoA with the insane highly priced memory cards. Just....wtf were they thinking. And never backing down from that either, just....crazy.

@AlexStinton Is there online co-op? If I could play this with a few buddies this could be a must have.
Really interested in the game, but the steep learning curve is making me hold back a purchase..........
Re: Gorgeous Turn Based RPG Battle Chasers: Nightwar Gets a PS4 Release Date
Hope the game has a proper ending, unlike the comic book series.
Loved the comic, love Joe's art.....and love turn-based, so a no brainer for me: day 1!

Turn-based combat is a HUGE plus, love it!
Re: Feature: We Talk Peaceful and Promising Open World PS4 Adventure Yonder

This looks fun!

Re: Poll: Should Sony Make a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Sequel?
Don't really care. Not into fighting games, and the Smash Bros was getting pretty boring pretty fast imo.
Better/more fun games out there to play.

I am a HUGE ME fanboj. Had this pre-ordered a while back......but I am seriously considering a cancelation.
A few odd faces/animations here and there I can take.....but this starts to look really, really bad.
WTH Bioware? WHT EA?
Both need to have seen this, how can either say this is acceptable in 2017?
