I don't personally have any ill will towards the title, but it seems like something that would best benefit from a free-to-play model. It will be interesting to see if this takes off.
@Carl-G I highly recommend the Revelations games as well, if you want another means to dip your toes in. It takes the action from 5 but environments are more narrow (more akin to the older games).
Oof putting 6 above Dead Aim is mean. Dead Aim is more RE than 6 ever hoped to be and handles combat surprisingly well even with a standard controller 😤 The short campaign makes replayability simple and fun.
I also did not have a great time with this. I love Strangers Wrath and wanted to give an Abe game another chance, but this might not be it. Does New N Tasty flow better than this one?
@IonMagi Yeah I don't expect them to drop it either. My of comment was just about I'm surprised the general model is alive and well in a world where we have non-sub MMOs. I'm still gonna give this trial a shot!
@dskatter I suppose the difference there being WoW has a longstanding audience where FFXIV had to appeal to new fans (and after a botched initial launch no less). But fair point.
@Floki There must be something there to keep the wallets open! I've always been curious so I'll check it out when this beta opens. I'm not much of an MMO player personally (some light ESO and SW Old Republic here and there), so I'm interested to see what this game brings to the table.
@Number09 And yet a large number of those are on PS4 and look/play better, let alone Xbox and PC (or ya know...PS Now). Did you know they took the PS2 Online servers down too?! The nerve, Sony 😤
@Snake_V5 You're right, I boycott all digital sales and forsake my new PS5. Selling for chump change how dare they take the PS3 and VITA stores offline 😂
Not to mention my boycott of my Switch since Nintendo took the Wii storefront offline. Where do these suits get off?!
Video Game movies about plot-heavy games will never make sense to me. You want to appeal to people who already like the game, because if you don't, you're then trying to appeal to people who haven't played the game or don't play games at all. So for fans of the game, it's just a rehash with tons of cut content.
Yes! I'm starved for a real Village demo this time. But let's not beat around the bush here, Revelations 3 would be the best possible announcement 😉
This could be applied to Death Stranding in a way. There is some trigger pulling but most of your time will be taking in the environment (while also balancing your luggage).
I still don't get how people enjoy Overcooked. I was more tense playing that split-screen than when I played at Smash tourneys (not boasting, totally didn't win btw) 😓
@__jamiie Understandable! I was the same way, but like most games, it flies by once you get into it. While there's a ton of stuff to do in-game, the story itself usually moves rather quick if you focus on it, so don't feel pressured to do everything.
I have sworn an oath to play the Yakuza (Kiryu) games in order, ending with Like a Dragon. Consider this game my most anticipated but I need to earn it.
I could definitely see this following in the shoes of FFXV Pocket Edition. Dumbed down combat and sparknotes for major events from the source material. But I'm open to any and all surprises along the way.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Resident Evil Village?
@Amylian4Games Thanks! I'm expecting to lose some sleep, and it'll be worth it.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Resident Evil Village?
Purchased, installed, just waiting for the work hours to end 😎
Re: Remnant: From the Ashes Rises with PS5 Upgrade
Very cool! Would be better if there was a focus on haptic feedback and/or adaptive triggers tho 😒

Re: Resident Evil Village (PS5) - Capcom's Best Horror Game for 16 Years
@LiamCroft If it doesn't spoil too much, is their any choice involved with your Mercenaries avatar?
Re: Resident Evil Village (PS5) - Capcom's Best Horror Game for 16 Years
I'm at the edge of my seat. I am very excited to lose sleep this weekend from terror and intrigue.
Re: Digital Dominates Physical As Pandemic Pushes Consumers to PS Store
For me, second-hand resell prices and low physical stock have urged my recent digital purchases as well.
Re: Resident Evil Re:Verse Not Actually Launching with Village
Eh, just delay it indefinitely. We got Mercenaries.
Re: Let's Build a Zoo Is a PS1 Era Management Sim with Crocoducks
@JOH01 I too am curious how this has anything to do with PS1 🤔
Re: Reminder: Play the Resident Evil Village Castle Demo This Weekend
Shoutout to the US Central Time zone, I don't have time for PDT -_-
Re: Y'know, What?! Spirit Lucky's Big Adventure Looks A'ight on PS4
@Constable_What I second this. It's a tragedy Despicable Me got the pass for sequels over Megamind.

Re: Oddworld: Soulstorm (PS5) - A Tough Game to Love

Re: Ex-Sony Employee Sheds Light on Thinking Behind PS Vita's Proprietary Memory
@wiiware Exactly this. Making your own style of memory card then cranking up the price was a horrible business decision.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV PS5 Open Beta Begins 13th April
@Sukocat I suppose it would be interesting to see how a pay-up-front, no microtransaction system would work 😉
Re: Final Fantasy XIV PS5 Open Beta Begins 13th April
@IonMagi Yeah I don't expect them to drop it either. My of comment was just about I'm surprised the general model is alive and well in a world where we have non-sub MMOs. I'm still gonna give this trial a shot!
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS3 Games
Lots of cancelled games in this list! How cool you could have been, Rainbow Six Patriots 😔

Re: Earth Defense Force: World Brothers Brings Block-Based Bugs to PS4 in May
Yes! I was looking this up earlier this week hoping for news. This looks ridiculous which is right on brand with EDF.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV PS5 Open Beta Begins 13th April
I'm still impressed an MMO requiring monthly subs still exists and has the sizeable player-base that it does.
Re: Puppeteer's Gavin Moore Rounds Out Japan Studio Exodus As Team Disbands
Hopefully someone else at Sony can pick up the Ape Escape property...please don't let that series die with a PS Move game 🥺
Re: Ratchet & Clank Boosted to 60 Frames-Per-Second on PS5 with New Patch
60 FPS Sheepinating? Sounds fun 😎

@Number09 And yet a large number of those are on PS4 and look/play better, let alone Xbox and PC (or ya know...PS Now). Did you know they took the PS2 Online servers down too?! The nerve, Sony 😤
Re: PS Store Spring Sale Delivers Big Discounts This Wednesday
I wouldn't mind a sackboy sale! Seems like a decent romp and I never liked LBPs controls as a side-scroller, so a new dimension looks rad.

Re: Marvel's Avengers (PS5) - Heroic Makeover Still Needed
I would consider getting this just for the campaign, but I'm already sick of Khamala from the initial demo and the game seems to largely focus on her.

Re: Next Resident Evil Showcase Planned for April
@Futureshark I seriously hope they consider remaking Veronica before RE4.
Re: Next Resident Evil Showcase Planned for April
Yes! I'm starved for a real Village demo this time. But let's not beat around the bush here, Revelations 3 would be the best possible announcement 😉
Re: Here's Disco Elysium Running on PS5
I'm curious if the two versions will really have any performance differences, the visuals look fairly basic.
Re: Marvel's Avengers PS5 Version Available to Download Now
...but where's Peter Parker?
Re: Mini Review: Hunting Simulator 2 (PS5) – An Unexpectedly Tranquil Excursion
This could be applied to Death Stranding in a way. There is some trigger pulling but most of your time will be taking in the environment (while also balancing your luggage).
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gives All Players 'Godly Reward' Pack, Includes Altair's Outfit, Armour, 300 Opal, and More
Remember when every Ubisoft game had an Altair outfit? Perhaps times haven't changed 😂 Good thing the series went on to have better protagonists.
Re: Resident Evil's Movie Reboot Has a Familiar Poster
Will Roberts's wife be the lead role?
Re: The Delightful Astro's Playroom Soundtrack Will Be Available on Demand Later This Week
This is one of the most charming games ever conceived, soundtrack and all.

Re: Poll: Have You Played Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and What Review Score Would You Give It?
@ShiningStar Best of luck to you! I'm halfway through Kiwami 2 so far.
Re: Poll: Have You Played Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and What Review Score Would You Give It?
I have sworn an oath to play the Yakuza (Kiryu) games in order, ending with Like a Dragon. Consider this game my most anticipated but I need to earn it.
Re: Maquette Guide: All Puzzle Solutions Walkthrough
Was this game built in Dreams?
Re: Soapbox: Man, Remember Black?
Revisited this on Game Pass. It's best experienced in your memories, it is rough to actually play these days (even with fully mappable controls).
Re: Hands On: Incredibly Rough Outriders Demo Kills Our Hope for This Looter Shooter's Launch
Was not impressed by this one. Felt like a combination of Destiny and Division, and I would prefer to play either of those games instead.
Re: Diablo 2 Remaster Looking to Use Haptic Feedback on PS5
If only this supported cross-play, my cohorts will be on PC 😔

Re: PS Plus March 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
It's about time you guys review Remnant! Such a great game that awards the time invested.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony's State of Play Livestream Meet Your Expectations?
FFVII Remake PS5 is welcome. But not Yuffie, eck.
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Delayed to 2022 on PS5 Due to Coronavirus
Awe...fiddlesticks. Well I'm still eagerly awaiting this release!
