@Porco If it took people years to warm up to 8 and 12 then aren't you judging 16 too soon?
So, judging games by comments you see on the Internet is somehow a better metric than critic and user scores? How do you justify that logic? Seems like you just have a bias you want confirmed. Your argument against 15 is essentially "I don't like it so reviews must be wrong".
Ps5 exclusives as a whole don't sell that well except Spider-Man, it's not just FF16. You only need to look at the other exclusives to see this.
You're really going to quote another Push Square article at me? This site isn't the best for genuine articles on Squares sales considering they use bloomberg as their source.
You're going to have to do better than this to "prove" the game is a failure worth worrying about because this evidence is shoddy at best.
Even the poll on this very site is against you, I don't even know what to say at this point.
@Porco You haven't been paying very good attention then. A FF release hasn't been 100% celebrated by the community since FF7. Just because you see the reception on the Internet as divisive, it isn't the whole picture and to claim it is based on some articles on Push Square and posts on Reddit is ridiculous.
Look at opencritic or metacritic. How is an 80+ score divisive? That's overwhelmingly positive. It's just silly to see comments on the Internet and thinking "this must be representative of the entire fanbase". Only a small fraction of any fanbase is on the Internet discussing it and that's a fact.
They also said FF16 would meet their longterm goals so I don't know where you're getting the disappointing sales angle from either. It's in the top 5 best selling PS5 games.
Shadow Of The Erdtree is going through a bit of divisive arguments on the Internet itself at the moment. People claiming it's too hard and too inaccessible etc. I guess based on that I should be worried about FromSofts future? Come on bro.
@fluffiethesock Right but some of these comments are implying they haven't liked the series for decades so why are they still here? It's bizzare. I can't imagine holding onto something for that long and still thinking you're going to get your "return to form".
Ever since 7 this sort of conversation around what is or isn't FF has reared it's ugly head and it's so tiring.
You couldn't have enjoyed them that much when you called the games after 10 an unrecognisable imitation. I've genuinely enjoyed every FF mainline game except maybe the first 3 and FF5? And I would say all of them despite their differences in gameplay all have that distinct FF flavour.
I see these takes a lot "what if the next ones a racing game" "what if the next one is like Tekken". It's disengenuine. The series identity hasn't completely changed because they decided to go from turn based to action combat. If that was the case then Yakuza died after 6 or Mario died as soon as it started going 3D or Resident Evil when it ditched tank controls etc.
@Porco Please don't make the mistake of seeing 5 people comment and then thinking that's a representation of the entire fanbase. I mean no disrespect, it's just not a good analysis.
Edit: There are also just as many fans praising the game in the comments as there are hating on it so I don't see how you came to the conclusion you did anyway if I'm being completely honest.
These kinds of comments sections are always so predictable. Why are some people on here still commenting about the series if they've hated it for over 20 years? Absolutely baffling.
It looks very nice but gameplay wise it's not something I'm looking for. I hope it does well though. We need more unique games like this, just a shame it's not one I'm personally interested in.
Gotta love gamers sometimes, if it's something they don't agree with "must've been paid to say it because I haven't played it but it looks ***** so it must be *****, therefore he must be lying"
Same thing happened when Sakaguchi said he liked FF16.
There's no way it's better than Shivering Isles but then again... Nothing on that list is better than Shivering Isles so just goes to show how much score matters.
@QiaraIris I feel like if you compare every game to what is essentially the gold standard then you're always going to be very disappointed. Why not just play BG3 forever?
Edit:Lmao they blocked me. Here I thought comments were for discussion!
After seeing more, I'm looking forward to it! I'm waiting for pre-orders to go up now and I can't wait to finally get back to Thedas. It's been way too long.
Still think it would've done them a lot of favours if they released a Dragon Age Legendary Edition though and I won't shut up about it until it happens!
@ShogunRok I just finally got around to playing infinite wealth and being the petty person that I am, I had to come back and say that you straight up lied to me.
The mini-games in Yakuza are far more intrusive and distracting than anything in Rebirth. Dondoko Island? I have to play animal crossing before I can get back to playing the game I paid for? Or how about the bicycle mini game? Where I had to play it despite the game even admitting to my face that I had the money already, but it's going to force me to do it anyway.
The amount of times Infinite Wealth derails the main game for some whacky misadventures is staggering compared to Rebirth which just makes the conversation we had months ago completely baffling to me.
If Rebirth is padding it's main story with mini-games (which a majority of can be skipped, like the queens blood tournament) then Yakuza is doing it in spades. Can't believe you defended that the way you did. Yakuza's mini-games don't "exist alongside the main story" they literally are part of the main story at times.
@J2theEzzo FF fans have cried about every entry since 8. Something will be wrong with everything Square Enix does, even if the fans have to dig to the earth's core to find their favourite nitpick to hang onto for the rest of their lives.
Not unlike Star Wars, the FF fanbase is a cesspit.
@Nei Yep. Definitely going to be seeing a lot of "This is what REAL fans wanted for FF7! This is a true remake!" kind of comments. I can't wait! 🫠
I do love FF9 though and so will definitely play it and enjoy it but as with other 1:1 remakes like Shadow Of The Colossus and Demons Souls etc it'll be a one and done "That was nice" kind of feeling. No remake has hit like FF7's for me, I like that they tried making it fresh y'know?
Star Wars Outlaws Dragon Age Veilguard Metaphor Assassin's Creed Shadows Space Marines 2
So yeah, pretty busy! Especially considering I'm currently making my way through Yakuza 8 and still need to play Baldurs Gate 3 and Rebirth Hard mode... God I need time off work so bad.
So more like Dragon Age Origins then? Picking places on the map and going there kind of thing? I dig it. I did prefer the more linear approach of Origins and 2 compared to Inquisition.
Eh. I'll make my own judgement. Not only is it Star Wars which is always judged harshly by itself but it's also by Ubisoft and so I tend to take previews and reviews of such things with a pinch of salt as they get judged far more strongly than others.
Whilst not quite Dragon Age Origins, I am still excited for this. It looks far better than the reveal trailer that's for sure. The main problem the game will have is that it will inevitably be compared to Baldurs Gate which isn't really fair to me but it is what it is.
This looks so much better, my panic is fading a little and I look forward to seeing more. That first trailer was a very big mistake and really made a bad first impression.
@Secryt It does matter for context. For games that actually release physically (which is 99% of games that aren't indie) the percentage is a lot higher and shows that when it's available, it is still profitable.
If physical is dead then why do indie developers try to release physical copies of their games? Hollow Knight, Hades, Blasphemous, Dead Cells etc. Why bother if there's no profit in it?
Even further, Alan Wake 2 has decided to release physical after not making enough money digitally or Baldurs Gate 3 which made heaps of money already so didn't even need to release physical if they didn't want to. Why is that? If not for more profit?
@Jswift56 It was a fairly basic trailer, I'll give you that. I don't think Kojima should be put on a pedestal the way he is when he's made some pretty glaring mistakes himself in the past. He's a brilliant visionary but he's always needed someone to reign him in a bit.
Anyway, I'll reserve judgement till I see a proper story trailer with The Pain, The End, The Sorrow, Ocelot etc.
Why are the comments so negative? Looks great to me and very faithful so far. People are complaining that it's just the same but with better graphics but isn't that what you all usually want? If it's different like FF7, you complain. If it's the same like this, you complain. What's the deal?
@QualityGeezer The setup after that DLC was really solid and I've been waiting almost 10 years for this that I'm holding out so much hope that it will be good but this is looking increasingly worrying.
No longer called Dreadwolf and that artstyle? Yeesh. I really hope June 11th shows me something good.
@QiaraIris Did you steal this joke from the comments on YouTube? Or are you also just really funny? Don't mean to assume the worst, I just saw this exact same comment over there.
@Secryt These kinds of articles are always bogus because they include DLC, Digital only indie games and sales of 99p shovelware. Of course with all that included, Physical is going to look like a very small fraction.
I'm not sure what the sales data is for just including games that actually release with both physical and digital but it's never mentioned for clickbait reasons so people can get into heated physical vs digital wars.
Can't believe there's no dating in this one 😭 the Weeb in me is very upset. However, it looks amazing and I've already pre-ordered the collectors edition so come on October!
Looks almost too good to be true, like playing an actual Anime fight scene or something. If the combat feels as good as it looks it could really be something special!
@DennisReynolds HMV and GAME have been dying for nearly 20 years but keep clinging on for some reason. I've never even seen a WHSmith store sell DVD's so that's news to me personally but I think all these stores have other problems over just physical media's downfall.
It's odd to claim they're dying but they keep getting made, especially Blu-ray which never really took off entirely but collectors still buy them. Even Disney released limited Blu-ray editions of their Star Wars shows.
If you care about games enough as a hobby then you should care about how it's distributed or sold to you. Digital is already the far more expensive option and it would only end up more so if it ended up being our only option. Sony, MS, Nintendo would have full control. Steam would end up being the only saviour.
Also Alan Wake 2 is a good example of how there is still high physical demand even now.
@DennisReynolds I don't want to assume so I'll ask instead. Do you want an all digital future? Or just accept that this is the case? I personally don't want it nor see it actually happening.
We still get CD's, DVD's, Blu-Rays and Vinyls so why would gaming be the only media to go fully digital? It doesn't make sense to remove options. Overall you'll just lose sales from people like myself if for example gaming did go fully digital, I would not buy games anymore and I know I'm not the only one (though maybe a sadly dying breed perhaps).
Good. I tend to hunt for trophies on games that I really enjoy and Elden Ring is one of those but I'm glad that I won't have to worry about it now. From have never added trophies with DLC (except BB?) but I was honestly expecting this to be the exception. Glad it wasn't.
@Malaise I felt that way too. Forbidden west killed my interest in any future Horizon games. I didn't hate it but it was painfully mediocre to me for some reason.
Considering that they didn't even manage to break even this is kind of surprising that they're willing to put in the money to release it physical. I'm glad this shows that there is still much demand for physical.
Definitely looking forward to this one. Unless something changes drastically, this is the only game this year that could possibly compete with Rebirth for me.
@Malaise Yeah, probably a very smart business decision. I fell off of Horizon pretty hard so I have no interest personally but I'm sure it'll do very well which is good for the fans I guess!
