Hm, looking more into it, it seems Nintendo is somehow helping this come out despite it being multiplat. Which is good, there’s no Wii U game that deserves a second chance more than this and I’m glad it’s coming to more than just Switch. Hopefully it does infinitely better this time.
This is crazy that it’s actually happening. What I don’t get is how it’s releasing in April but just now being funded? Seems more like the games almost ready to go and they want to recoup their funding.
Either way the idea of a big company using Kickstarter is disgusting but I’m glad W101 is getting another chance.
Wonderful 101 is truly the best action game I’ve played. Liked it a lot more than Astral Chain.
I absolutely hate the idea of an established company using crowdfunding though. It was laughable with Shenmue 3 and it’s laughable now. But if that’s what it takes...
I have to say, motion controls make a world of difference for me in games like Splatoon 2 or BotW. I tried playing some gunner weapons in MHW but I just can’t go back to not having it.
If it were a regular E3 then it wouldn’t matter too much, but this isn’t a regular E3. By not being at the show at all, Sony isn’t just missing out on hype or headlines - people are gonna get to actually play the Xbox Series X, see the games in action, spend time on the system for themselves. Sony is going to miss out on all of that, which is even worse since Series X won’t have any exclusives to really take advantage of the hardware while Sony will.
That being said, Nintendo has had E3 demos at Best Buy for the general public for years, so maybe Sony will do something similar.
I really need to give GBF another try. It’s just that Dragalia takes up so much time as it is, but maybe when I start my doctorate this fall and am in front of my computer more often I can have it autoing or something in the background.
That tease shouldn’t have been there and that character shouldn’t be in the story. He’d make a fun side quest appearance or bonus boss but not a story character.
Just wanted to pop in and say - you see that other 10/10 game mentioned in the article, 428 Shibuya Scramble? If you like VNs then it actually is a 10/10. Please go buy it so I can have someone to talk to about it.
Tbh the game didn’t take me nearly the 100 hours that some people claim and I did a pretty complete play through. Plus cutting out crap like the rat puzzles will enhance the game.
I would give whatever it took for crossplay in Monster Hunter just so I could play with my brother. That’s what the crossplay argument comes down to for me.
I don’t know if it’s their best game ever but so far it’s pretty fun. Supposedly it has more longevity than just replaying harder difficulties so that’s a nice move.
People knock on how Nintendo never has good sales but if they can keep a full-priced port of a 2014 game on top of the charts over two years after release - why would they drop its price?
Anyway September is gonna be awesome on all fronts, can’t wait.
Lol I looked at the gold trophy and was disappointed DQB2 didn’t make it on the list. Should have seen the platinum coming!
It took me awhile to get into DQB2 with that slow first island but I’m insanely hooked like I haven’t been in a long time. Kind of like how I hadn’t been able to finish an RPG in like a year but poured over 100 hours into DQXI. The series is magic.
Glad to see Judgment getting the respect it deserves. I’ve been taking it slow, I’m so used to having the “next Yakuza game” to play but now that I’m all caught up I’ll have to wait!
Only skimmed part of the review, I’m going in blind (no pun intended?)
But I’m glad to hear the story is actually good. Yakuza games always have fun characters but the plots are always “stupid action movie” tier at best, even the beloved 0. I’m so tempted to just cancel my physical preorder and download so I can play tomorrow
Holy crap I can’t wait. I haven’t watched a second of gameplay footage so it’ll all be fresh, going back to Kamurocho is always a blast. This and Mario Maker 2 coming out in the same week is killer.
Oh man that’s great. I was literally just about to drop good cash on controllers so my brother and I could play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on our iphones.
Is there any chance of a State of Play being announced that week like how Nintendo does it, or has Sony said that they’ll definitely have no presence?
Either way as a multiplat fan I’m excited for the show, and then when it wraps up Judge Eyes and Mario Maker 2 will be right around the corner. June is set to be a 10/10 month.
Can’t wait to play, I loved Transformed. I do have one question though - how high is the skill ceiling for the hardest content? Like in Transformed, I went through the whole main game not having any idea not having any idea about how stacking boosts worked until I was trying to beat the time trial ghosts and the 4-star difficulty content. It totally blew my mind that the mechanic was there the whole time and yet I’d played dozens of hours without knowing it. Beating that content was way more compelling and rewarding than Mario Kart has ever been.
So does this game also have the same kind of super hard content that requires knowledge of the mechanics? Either way it’ll be fun to try out for sure.
As someone who has both consoles, this is amazing. It’s like an extra controller for each one lol, or if my Switch Pro battery dies then I can just swap to my DS4. Really neat idea.
Absolutely great time for gaming, Nintendo has been killing it with Switch and their output while Sony has been home to all kinds of fantastic titles too. Even Microsoft’s Game Pass is something to marvel at.
Can’t wait to see how the PS5 will shake things up.
I’m glad to hear that it is turning out well. This isn’t the Transformed follow up I was hoping for but it seems like it’ll be fun in its own right, the team mechanic especially seems interesting. Can’t wait to give it a shot.
I’ve really enjoyed all of the licensed Warriors games I’ve played (Hyrule, One Piece, and Fire Emblem) and I like Persona far more than any of those series. I hope this is peak Warriors and not DW9-tier.
Woohoo, a full price rerelease on the same console not coming until next year.
Ah who am I kidding, I’m freaking pumped! Can’t wait to see how the add in the new semester in place of what happened after Christmas in P5, and the new locations look great. More school stuff wil also be neat.
We should be getting these announcements at crazy early times for US time zones right? At least it’ll spice up the night shifts this week.
I’d been holding off on a second play through of P5 because I want to know if R is a remake or a whole new game, but Joker in smash restarted the hype train. It’s not like Royal will be out until the end of the year at the earliest, anyway.
Thrilled to see all of the Ace Attorney love here lol.
For me it’ll realistically be mainly the new Splatfest with my brother and trying to play some more Joker in Smash. Of course I’d have the week off and then work Thurs-Sat here with these twelve hour shifts right when he releases. I’ve also been bitten by the Persona bug in general, I told myself I’d hold off until we find out what P5R/S will be but I’ve started my second play of P5 in earnest.

Re: Talking Point: Why Don't More PS4 Games Use Gyro Aiming?

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Receives Hefty 5 Month Delay
Wow, PS4’s first half of 2020 got destroyed in a matter of days. At least this means it should finish strong and maybe build up hype for PS5.

I hope they get the UI working well, PS4’s menu is unbelievably slow at times even offline.

Re: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD - Monkey's Paw Paradox At Play in Port of Poor Game
They should have redone a pack with 1&2. Every entry afterwards doesn’t even belong in the same sentence.
Re: PS5 Controller Detailed, 'Looks a Lot Like the PS4's DualShock 4' with Some Exciting New Additions
I hope this HD rumble is as satisfying as it is on Switch, and I’m sure it will be. That alone is worth getting a new controller for!
Re: Sony's PS4 Cross-Play Program Has Reportedly Moved Out of Beta
I hope they get Monster Hunter World running, i’d give anything to be able to play with my little brother.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Wreckfest Can't Catch Up with Astral Chain to Claim Number One
Glad to see Astral Chain doing so well, pure action games just don’t get the love they deserve nowadays.
But PS4’s time will come with Iceborne this week and then the whole rest of September is gonna be killer for both systems.
Re: We'll Hear More About Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers in October
The licensed Warriors games are usually better in my experience, so this is one to watch.
At least it’s a break from all of the same spinoffs that P4 got...

Re: Judgment Sequel on the Cards as Sales Expectations in the West Are Surpassed
I hope so, I honestly enjoyed this games cast more than any mainline Yakuza game. The story was way better too.

Re: Akechi Gets His Own Persona 5 Royal Character Trailer
Woah what does he say at the end there? Clearly between that and his “true form” he’ll be continuing on past his original end point.
Can’t wait.
Re: Wargroove Finally Deploys on PS4 Next Week
Hopefully it will have the ability to get maps players have been making for months, there’s some crazy neat stuff there.
Re: Shenmue III Backers Irate as Pre-Order Bonuses Come at Extra Cost
I mean, if you hit the backer tier or if the Kickstarter implied that it would be free then it should be, for the backers at least.
Glad I’m not a Shenmue fan because it seems like everything is going poorly as of late.
Re: New Yakuza Game Gets a Female Co-Star, More Details Next Month
Ah well. Judgment will keep me busy for awhile anyway.
Here’s hoping for a blowout at TGS. Not sure if they would announce western remaster releasesthen or not but the sooner the better!
Re: Persona 5 Royal Yusuke Trailer Shows Off New Gameplay and Some Sick Sword Skills
Best boy of the series, even better in Q2. Can’t wait for this game!
Re: Game of the Month: Best PS4 Games of June 2019

Re: E3 2019: No More Heroes III Won't Touchdown on PS4
Hopefully there'll be a collection with 1 and 2 that can release on both consoles.
Re: Talking Point: Did Square Enix's E3 2019 Press Conference Live Up to the Hype?
Definitely the best yet. Some parts were stupid (why show DQXI S with no release date?) and I really wanted TWEWY2, but what we got wasn’t bad at all.
Time it’s finally time for Animal Crossing tomorrow.
Re: Stunning Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Story Trailer Brings the Hype
TIGREX
That’s all I needed
Re: Guide: All PS4 Games With Cross-Console Play Compatibility
I hope MH World gets cross play by the time Iceborne comes out so I can play with my brother.
