I've never played Dragon age so I don't have a dog in this fight. If I think the game looks fun I'll play it, and if I don't I'll skip it. Simple as that
@Icey664 Xbox still has to prove that there first party output can actually be good. Everything that looked promising during the show is also coming to playstation. Hard to call that a real victory if I'm being honest.
Definitely has some rough edges to smooth out movement and traversal, but so far this looks insane. And the devs said they're focusing more on combo driven fighting over Souls like attacking and blocking, which is all I needed to hear.
I still remember when Microsoft announced the Xbox One X and people were speculating that tge PS4 would hold it back. Maybe everyone should stop making predictions about how great Xbox is.
It was better than I expected, but didn't expect much. Like everyone else, I didn't expect Phantom Blade Zero to come out of nowhere and steal the show at the end. Lego Horizon looks great as well.
I don't care. Dragon's Dogma 2 has been by far the biggest disappointment of the year for me. The story is less interesting, the characters make no impression, all of its most innovative gameplay ideas feel like they were made to be openly antagonistic to the player, and worst of all, it just doesn't feel as good to play as the original. If this is really Itsuno's vision, than it's no wonder he had to wait until Capcom was literally bulletproof to get it made.
I'm glad to hear Hoyo is taking their competition seriously, but I have a feeling that Genshin's throne isn't going to be challenged any time soon. I'll definitely check out Wuthering Waves, but I already know I'll just go back to Genshin because that's where I've invested the most time. And I'm sure a lot of veterans are going to feel the same way.
Looks good. Or it looks like an Assassin's Creed game I guess. I still just find it funny that this is the AC game people have been asking for the longest, and in the time it took for Ubisoft to make it, Sony already ran two full laps around them with Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of the Ronin.
Not to get too weird about it, but you can notice that some outfits also change Eve's body shape slightly. Almost as if each outfit was designed with certain aesthetics in mind. Who would have thought?
I just finished Stellar Blade and heading into new game plus. Shift Up really went above and beyond making it feel rewarding. This is the most excited I've been to replay a game in a long time.
I think it works. The execution was a little too busy, but the end result hits just as hard. Maybe even more so because I've never had to let that moment sit with me like I do now.
I'm feeling a strong 8 right now, but I gave it a 9 on the poll. We'll see how the rest of the year plays out, but right now it's the lead for my GOTY runner up. (Because nothing is going to top FF7 Rebirth)
Congratulations to Shift Up for taking a big swing and having it pay off. Hopefully this leads to more amazing work from them, and gives Korean developers the confidence to do the same.
@Zenos Probably. This game was also right before a very busy March so people had plenty of choices. Once summer hits, people have more free time and the price comes down, I wouldn't be surprised if this gets a second wind.

Re: Feature: The Results of Our Summer Game Fest Prediction Quiz Are In
All I predicted was that people would complain. So that doesn't count.
Re: Reaction: You Said You Were Sick of PS5's Sad Dad Sims, So You Better Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
I never said i was sick of sad dads, but I appreciate the variety. I'll be buying both Astro Bot and Lego Horizon. The both look delightful.

Looks good. Can't wait to play it next year when the complete edition is on sale.

Re: PS5 Action RPG Phantom Blade Zero Actually Looks Insane in Raw Gameplay Footage
Definitely has some rough edges to smooth out movement and traversal, but so far this looks insane. And the devs said they're focusing more on combo driven fighting over Souls like attacking and blocking, which is all I needed to hear.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Now a PS5 Console Exclusive for an Indefinite Amount of Time

Re: Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Howls at PS5, PS4 in 2025
I don't know anything about Fatal Fury, but this new character makes my brain go 'awooga'
Re: Capcom's Strange Tactical Action Game Kunistu-Gami Is Out Next Month on PS5
Looks like just another vehicle for Capcom to hock microtranactions
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
It was better than I expected, but didn't expect much. Like everyone else, I didn't expect Phantom Blade Zero to come out of nowhere and steal the show at the end. Lego Horizon looks great as well.
Re: Helldivers 2's Close-Quarters Viper Commandos Warbond Goes Rambo on 13th June
That's the most video game headline I've ever read.

Re: Open World Martial Arts RPG Where Winds Meet Announced for PS5
The trailer was a bit deflating at first, but that's only because it makes the game look like a 1v1 boss rush. Glad to see there's a full game here.
Re: Dynasty Warriors Origins Could Be the Comeback Fans Have Been Waiting For on PS5
That trailer was awesome. I'll try to keep my expectations in check, but after Dynasty Warriors 9, the series has nowhere to go but up.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Gets First Gameplay, Looks Like the Evolution of World
I really hope there's an in depth story and they didn't just make a big map for no reason.
Re: Infinity Nikki PS5 Is the Open World Anime Dress-Up Game of Your Dreams
@Nei I'm sure there's plenty of people who agree with you, but I'm not one of them. This looks right up my alley.

Re: Mini Review: Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game (PS5) - A Lacking Attempt on a Cult Classic
We could have gotten a sequel. It didn't need to be like this.

Still not ruling out that they got bought by Microsoft
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Quietly Adds Uncensored New Costumes in Controversy Aftermath
@Zenos it wasn't a big deal before and it's not a big deal now. F&$k you, I'm consistent.

Palworld? Never heard of it.
Re: Hideo Kojima Is Mad Max Director George Miller's First Choice for a Video Game Adaption
This is as good a time as any to mention that Furiosa is excellent and you should go see it.
Re: Genshin Impact PS5, PS4 Promises Huge Improvement as Battle with Wuthering Waves Looms
I'm glad to hear Hoyo is taking their competition seriously, but I have a feeling that Genshin's throne isn't going to be challenged any time soon. I'll definitely check out Wuthering Waves, but I already know I'll just go back to Genshin because that's where I've invested the most time. And I'm sure a lot of veterans are going to feel the same way.
Still, glad to hear the resin cap is going up.
Re: Interview: Capcom on Why Monster Hunter Stories Is Finally Coming to PS4
Uh, money. That's why.
Re: Stellar Blade Sequel Is Under Serious Consideration as Dev Eyes AAA Franchise Success
I'd love to see where they go with a sequel. I already have my own ideas buzzing around for where it could go next.
Shift Up, let me pitch you my idea for Stellar Blade 2. This is not a joke.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-Orders Already 'Looking Very Strong'
Wow. You mean to tell me that normal people don't care if there's a black guy in Assassin's Creed? Who could have guessed?
Re: Activision Tasks New AAA Studio with Crafting Narrative-Based Series
Neat. Here's hoping they don't get shut down.
Re: Microsoft Leadership Reportedly Want No 'Red Line' Stopping Xbox Games Coming to PS5
Considering people's jobs are on the line now, this is the right move.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
Looks good. Or it looks like an Assassin's Creed game I guess. I still just find it funny that this is the AC game people have been asking for the longest, and in the time it took for Ubisoft to make it, Sony already ran two full laps around them with Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of the Ronin.
Re: Shift Up Director Puts Stellar Blade, Sony Costume Conspiracy to Bed
Not to get too weird about it, but you can notice that some outfits also change Eve's body shape slightly. Almost as if each outfit was designed with certain aesthetics in mind. Who would have thought?
Re: Newly Revealed Shadow of the Erdtree Foe Brings Back Traumatic Bloodborne Memories
I can feel my frenzy meter going up just looking at it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528
I just finished Stellar Blade and heading into new game plus. Shift Up really went above and beyond making it feel rewarding. This is the most excited I've been to replay a game in a long time.

Re: Any Hope of Vampire FPS Redfall Biting PS5 Appears Dead
Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth, Redfall cancelation, Playstation really does get all the best exclusives
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Ending?
I think it works. The execution was a little too busy, but the end result hits just as hard. Maybe even more so because I've never had to let that moment sit with me like I do now.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stellar Blade?
I'm feeling a strong 8 right now, but I gave it a 9 on the poll. We'll see how the rest of the year plays out, but right now it's the lead for my GOTY runner up.
(Because nothing is going to top FF7 Rebirth)
Re: Sony and Apollo Reportedly Make $26 Billion All-Cash Paramount Bid
@UltimateOtaku91 He's talking about The Last Airbender.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Sea of Thieves on PS5?
No. Turns out I just didn't need any other pirate games after Assassin's Creed 4.
Re: PS5 Sensation Stellar Blade Has One of the Highest User Ratings Ever
Congratulations to Shift Up for taking a big swing and having it pay off. Hopefully this leads to more amazing work from them, and gives Korean developers the confidence to do the same.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stellar Blade?
I'm playing it right now.
Re: Future PS5 Game No Rest for the Wicked Opens to Positive Early Access Reviews
I don't get the hype for this one. It gets less interesting every time I see it. Frankly, I think V Rising looks way better.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide?
Maybe not right away, but yes. Absolutely. I want to clear out my backlog a bit first so I have time to appreciate the DLC and go into new game plus.
Re: Dave the Diver (PS5) - PS Plus Gains an Inventive, Satisfying Adventure Overflowing with Ideas
Sounds like I'll be ...diving... into this one pretty soon......
I'll leave now.
Re: Despite Hype, Analyst Says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 'Underperforming'
@Zenos Probably. This game was also right before a very busy March so people had plenty of choices. Once summer hits, people have more free time and the price comes down, I wouldn't be surprised if this gets a second wind.
Re: Feature: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5 Games of 2024 So Far
