I bought this game on PS3 around the same time I got a PS4, so didn't get a chance to play it. I think I was waiting and hoping for them to add backwards compatibility.
@PuppetMaster it's not the whole of Microsoft. I think it was the marketing team. I think Microsoft gave their marketing team a small amount of money and told them to work with it. So that's why the marketing team said they don't have the budget.
Microsoft just ain't got the talent for marketing. Like how many people bought an xbox one x thinking it was the series x. They flopped with the name. And a better or simpler name might have helped sell the console more. Coz I'm sure a lot of people were confused with the name and sometimes confusion can deter people from buying something.
If I see a game that has a delayed release for standard purchases, I'm not going to buy that game. Even if it's a franchise I love. I'll wait for a sale and then buy it. I'm not in a rush to play anything new. I have a lot of games I can play that I haven't finished yet.
I've only played blazblue from arc system works. And I only know them to make 2D fighting games. Have they done a 3D game before? I'm curious to see what it looks like.
These icons can be used as placeholders for now, maybe get changed in future. Like if the game is successful, they could have the option to spend a little extra on designing new icons.
@Hyena_socks if it's like genshin impact, should be fine even with slow download speeds. Just gotta be connected online. If you're playing by yourself, I don't think there would be any lag. I've played genshin impact on a bad internet connection and didn't lag.
Does that mean some of the dungeon options might have a better loot than others? Like a powerful weapon on the harder dungeon? Or do all dungeons from the choices have same loot?
I don't really think about romance when I play persona. I only think about getting each arcana rank as high as possible, as well as my Courage, Academics and Charm.
Yes yes want more. But would also like more like scarlet nexus or a sequel. Actually I probably don't want a sequel, just another game that's similar to scarlet nexus gameplay.
If they bring emulation to the PS5, I might get a PS5, if they let me download all the PS3 games I own. I remember buying a few digital PS3 games around the time I got a PS4, so I never got around to playing them.
I don't know what was the exact question asked to xbox, but I think they were just replying to say that they can't comment on what deals happen on other platforms, not really trying to hint that there was a deal.
I didn't watch the video but out of what was highlighted in the article, Metaphor is the only one for me. Would also have been assassin's creed shadows, but it's not on my preferred platform. So I guess I miss out on that.
@PuppetMaster yeah thanks I knew gravity rush was by japan studio. I didn't know about soul sacrifice. But yeah I had them both on vita. Also didn't know there was an expansion for it. I wasn't on sites like these back then, so I didn't see it talked about anywhere.
@get2sammyb I don't think they should do it with something like last of us, or an existing ip. But for making something new, I think it would be ok to make the game short and cheap. That way, they could have more titles out. But big companies should still keep making big games, with something small on the side would be nice.
@PuppetMaster oh I bought gravity rush 1 on ps vita and also soul sacrifice. I didn't realise that was by sony. Or might have forgotten haha. But yeah soul sacrifice was really good. It's kinda like monster hunter.
I also have been saying that we don't need a lot ultra high graphics settings for games, if it takes longer to make. I wouldn't mind a PS3/4 graphics game, if it's quicker to make. Also wouldn't mind shorter games, that's also cheap in price, but with the option to expand the story with later DLCs, if it sells well and people want more. I don't usually buy DLCs, unless it's like a sequel or extra story expansion for a game I really like. Just not DLCs like micro transactions, or when a feature is locked behind a special edition of the game, like Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, where they put "new game +" in a paid DLC. That still bothers me. But the game is awesome haha.
Is there a global sales chart, like all the regions combined? I think I've only seen either just UK or just Japan, but none combining all regions. Also would like to see PC games sales included too, along with console games.
@NEStalgia I own the full game on 2 PS accounts. And had to make a third square enix account on PC to play the trial. The trial also has some limitations, like you can't start a group, you have to be invited. So if you wanted to play with another trial user, you can't. And once you upgrade to the full game version, you can't go back to the free trial.
The reason I have the full game on 2 ps accounts is coz I originally bought it on PS3 and when I got the PS4, there was a free upgrade option. And then I played a bit before I lost interest. Made a new ps account coz I didn't like my old psn name. At the time you couldn't change it. And there was a limited time that ff14 was free to keep the full game. So I got that, played for a bit and lost interest again. I didn't play long, coz I was playing alone and would have preferred to play with a friend. And you can't really play with friends if you're on the trial version, unless you have a friend that has the full game version.
I miss the old playstation, when they did these game shows. I was always excited to see either Gamescom or E3 coz I knew PlayStation would be there. I only watched playstation showcases back then. Now I watch whatever's available.
I don't play this game, but I do like playing as a healer in other games. It's nice to see this game has 4 healer classes, even tho the healers aren't happy atm. In other games I've tried, there's either one or none. And when it's just one healer, you might not like that play style. So I prefer if games had more healer classes like this. Only reason I don't play this is because I can't do monthly subscription.
I might be wrong, just guessing here, but I think the reason people avoided buying this game was because of embracer. Like I hear a lot of people are avoiding buying anything related to embracer.
Just coz I like the anime, don't mean I'd like the game. I've not really gotten into any free to play games based on an anime. So I doubt I'd like this. If it was buy to play and RPG, I'd be interested. But I'd be more interested in seeing demon slayer as an RPG.
That is because sword fights is fun. I don't have a PS5 to play the game, so I can't say if this is fun. But I like sword fighting games. Or any melee combat games.
Probably why you shouldn't make a game you don't own or make exclusivity deals. If you want your games multiplatform, stick with multiplatform publishers.
