Re: It Sounds Like Shuhei Yoshida Is As Tired of Annualised Franchises As You Are

As long as these franchises like COD keep getting ratings like 8.5 to 9.5 they'll keep making them. It reinforces their mindset that they HAVE to release one every year. Sports games are a bit different though. Every offseason comes with huge changes like players changing teams and rookies. Yes, EA could just release roster updates every year but they wouldn't make any money that way. And it costs a lot to make those games

Re: Persona 5's Brand New Gameplay Trailer Is the Phantom That You Need in Your Life

@JaxonH I'm right there with you. I was never into JRPG's until I got a Vita. I looked up highest rated Vita games because I didn't have any. I went to Gamestop and bought a game I had never heard of until then, Persona 4 Golden. The box art made me wonder why I was buying it, but after I started playing it I couldn't put it down. Since then I've played over 2 dozen JRPG's and I have more in my backlog. They're awesome!

Re: Persona 5 Already Sounds Like it Could Be Darker Than Persona 4

Cowboysfan-22

I love what I saw. I knew it was gonna be darker than P4 because of the use of red in this game, and I like how that ties in. I can tell this story line is going to be amazing. I'm just wondering though, does the protagonist "transform" into the phantom using his persona or does he just slip on the mask and go from there?

Re: Watch Teens Get Choked Up by The Last of Us' Opening Scene

I showed the intro to my mom just so she can see how emotional it is. She's always thought games were dumb but this had her jaw on the floor. She said "How can they have this in a game?" I said if they can have it in a movie why can't it be in a game? Games these days are basically interactive movies

Re: Talking Point: Are Bigger Open Worlds Really Better?

It really has to have a balance of openness and content. Fallout 3 was an amazing game that I thought did a great job with this. Sure, some journeys across the wasteland were long but you had ghouls and Raiders to deal with along the way. Some games try to hard though and that's a big turn off

Re: Prepare Yourselves for 30 Hours of Persona Goodness

Cowboysfan-22

To be honest I don't want to know any plot details or character details because I want to play the game as if I was the main character. Not knowing what's going on or who's involved. I just wanna know a release date for the West. Surely they'll cover that in 30 hours, right? I'm not holding my breath

Re: Analysts: Xbox One Will Catch Up to PS4 in 2015

Cowboysfan-22

Here's the bottom line: Sony is millions ahead of MS and they've done it sticking to their plan. MS has had to scramble to catch up and they've lost money that Sony hasn't had to spend. Sony won't care if they catch up as long as they don't have to spend any extra money to win people over

Re: Feature: 2014's Most Memorable PlayStation Music

Cowboysfan-22

I loved this article. Music has always been a passion of mine and soundtracks of games have always been a big part of the experience for me. The one that has always stuck with me is Persona 4 Golden's soundtrack. Every track made me smile and I actually use a few of them as ringtones. I have the entire soundtrack on my iPod. Classic stuff

Re: Talking Point: Post Pictures of Your PlayStation Pressies

@ThomasOlano86 I have been more open minded lately about games and have found that I like more kinds than I thought I did. I guess saying that I don't like those kind of games was the wrong choice of words. I should say that I haven't given them a chance in the past but I want to try this one because it looks so good.
