@Olmaz yasuke is a Japanese character. Might not be native. Still Japanese but also the point adewale was a black assassin and no one complained, it's only complaining cos it's cool , the hate clearly falls into bigotry and entitled Z gen , there's other games like nioh that features a non Asian samurai. Amongst others. Can always go snd play ghost of tsushima
Looking forward to this, seen a lot of haters coming out the woodwork , moaning its not historical accurate but assassin creed never has been, it's been influenced by history but always had its own spin on things. Also there's been plenty of African Americans in previous games like Adewale in black flag, Achilles devonport in ac3 and in rogue etc
Already paid for new assassins creed and suikoden 1&2 remaster as I missed out on suikoden growing up as I was a teenager when it first came out. Probably get atelier yumia. Mebe pick up atomfall in april along with obscure 33
Played every game that's come out in the uk/eu since 2005. Hoping , Yagami gets a new gane soon. Got the gane delivered on Thursday but busy with trails through daybreak II
Imo, there should be a tier system for game prices, lot of indie games being priced at 69.99 or similer shouldn't be a thing. Especially indie games. I waited until ghosts of new eden was on sale, got it for 25. Wouldn't pay mare than 35 quid for a 20 hour or less game
I think people that voted saying 5 days isn't good enough, need to have a wod with themselves 😅, didn't really bother me as its only a day. I spend the day starting to build a new pc and rest of it gaming on my pc , so gave my ps5 a rest
The gap between pc and console is getting smaller. , it would be good for cross platform games like ff14 as takes ages to type things in the game chat especially if playing in a party , some of them playing on pc
Not really into racing games , good for those that are . Competition is always a good thing, especially for games like the crew. Only game i enjoyed was the burnout games
It's really good, playing on ps5, only think is the mini skirmish could be better. Also could be more like the samurai warriors sanada game. Only played about 13 hours l Would love a more story driven game. Leveling system is interesting, always thought a skill tree would be good. Hopefully the open world is expanded on not played dynasty warriors since number 7 but it's a lot closer to the romance of the three kingdoms novel. I hope it goes all the way to the end , to the Jin dynasty
Play dynasty warriors from 2 to 7, got bored as the a lot of characters had the same moves etc, mostly clones of each other and didn't even use the fight weapons . Heard the new one is a lot better, ordered it from Amazon buy not getting delivered til next week
Honestly it hard to answer as I'm in the process of saying for a next gen pc ddr5 . Console is way easier to manage but the gap between pc and console is getting a lot smaller. I probably will buy a ps6 but not sure if I'd buy any more after ps6. Considering I've had a playstation since 1995 . I can't say for sure but I can get a lot of retro games on pc I can't get on ps5 unless ps6 offers true backwards compatibility but I don't see it happening
@ButterySmooth30FPS it's possible, it might not come west, to not alienate all those who already bought it. Remember the zodiac edition of ff12 never came west, when it first got released, took a decade to come over here
@Dalamar ahh my bad, ok the founder then. It's just a strange thing to do. Unless they are struggling , with the evinony as uve been playing there gsmes since the 90s with legend of heros: dragon slayer and played practically all the ys games
Bit of a gut punch, as I've just recently finished it, wonder if there's a change of leadership, with the president of falcom, passing away recently, that caused this shift. To be fair the story is a bit bland compared to previous games
Without being nasty, I'm not a fan of female characters games, rather the choice like mass effect etc. Plus I've not been a fan of naughty dog since they canned Jake and daxter and sky racoon games and not into action hotter games like thr last of us, especially killing off an established character for diversity and inclusion or ehstever the reasoning behind it. Druickman storytelling pales in comparison to amy henning imo
@Pleiades doubt it a ddr6 nvme costs 300 + graphics card costs 300 minimum. Not including the motherboard /ram . If anything sony are selling it at a loss. It actually does being a lot of new things. Upscaling games to true 4k unlike the fake 4k thats on the ps4 pro and ps5. Along with a lot more games running at 60fps.
Don't think the studio and its ideas are completely dead. It's probably a future strategy to do mobile/handheld gaming and the staff will likely be moved to other areas. Otherwise it be a waste of money
Tbh for me I have very little interest in platform games , played the demo , reminded of og pop games from the late 80's /early 90's. Price was a bit too high for a 15-20 hour game imo
Personally I thought it was meh; didn't really do much different to spiderman 1. . Suits were pointless - mostly just skins at least in spiderman 1 each suit has specific abilities. Miles morales and Peter parker played almost identically. They messed up the bad guys with a terrible story especially venom. Would have been better eith Eddie Brock and gave kraven a decent story not as some homicidal maniac
Awesome game but wish people didn't associate it with persona , it's a completely different gane just like SMT, DevIl summoner, spill hackers etc . Closer to SMT than persona. Love berserk vibes
Anything involving tencent is bad news. The problem is they release broken games and expect full price for it and then take 6-12 months to fix it,; so stopped buying ubisoft games at launch ; also the fact games are £70 -£100 especially with season pass/gold edition and on top of that their games are riddled with microtransactions , nearly as bad as activision

Re: Phil Spencer Posits Generative AI Tech Preserving Old Games, Called 'Idiotic' by Expert

Loved infinite wealth, platinumed it, be interesting to see how this ties in to the story, most likely a prequel to infinite wealth

Not surprising, wasn't a great quality in terms of games but 2025 looks like it's gonna be great especially if gta6 comes out
Re: Industry Analyst Argues Either Sony or Microsoft Will Need to Exit the Console Market
Agree to disagree, was way more consoles in the late 80s/ 90s , more like 4 with PC gaming etc. Healthy competition is needed to drive innovation

Re: PS5 Fans Willing to Pay a Pretty Penny for a Steam Deck-Like Portable PlayStation

@LuXifer your joking right? Druckmam can't write a decent story for toffee. After they booted amy hennig
Re: Kadokawa Wants Sony's Full Commitment with Buyout of Entire Company
@AverageGamer the majority of studios are developed , the Japan studios hasn't made anything decent in years apart from a couple VR games
Re: Kadokawa Wants Sony's Full Commitment with Buyout of Entire Company
@Major_Player they're not though, mainly looking to boost anime etc
Re: Kadokawa Wants Sony's Full Commitment with Buyout of Entire Company
@DarthCvrle66 i agree , as microsoft have a track record of closing studios they acquire , aony tend to help studios develop than stagnate
Re: Kadokawa Wants Sony's Full Commitment with Buyout of Entire Company
Better sony than Microsoft or tenecent imo . Also considering sony did a lot to make bloodborne, it would make sense plus increase sonys value

Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Would You Rate Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5?
Personally I thought it was meh; didn't really do much different to spiderman 1. . Suits were pointless - mostly just skins at least in spiderman 1 each suit has specific abilities. Miles morales and Peter parker played almost identically. They messed up the bad guys with a terrible story especially venom. Would have been better eith Eddie Brock and gave kraven a decent story not as some homicidal maniac

bought it but can't play as sold my ps5 to pay towards the pro, 4 weeks to go
