Managed to get many hours of enjoyment playing Rebirth and Unicorn Overlord remotely via the Portal. Of course, I had to configure router settings to get it working outside of my home connection (setting up a dedicated backport) but it was all worthwhile!
Good month. Reminds me of FIFA 22 being given as an Essential title 2 years ago also in May. I'd never buy those sports games but I enjoy playing them from time to time. Tunic is the highlight of the month, amazing title.
@LifeGirl Not at all. There were 5 consecutive different championship winners from 2006-2010. If you'd said last 15 years, you might have had a valid argument.
Will wait for the price to decrease and likely buy it second-hand. They said the game would not be censored, yet it is, which is a blatant lie and deception.
Why are people defending this disgusting practice? The fact remains that they promised the game would not be censored, yet they went ahead and censored it, which is blatant lying. Most people couldn't care less about the appearance of the modifications, the main issue here is the blatant misleading and lying.
What an excellent read! I bought the Collector's Edition of Unicorn Overlord and rushed to finish the endless Rebirth in order to finally start it up. Loving this game, Vanillaware never ever disappoint!
What a joker, doubt the PS5 will go anywhere near 155 million units sold. In fact, the Switch has more of a chance of surpassing that number unfortunately...
Too busy with other games, gotta finish Rebirth and then start Unicorn Overlord, hopefully managing to finish the latter before Stellar Blade is released
Still on Rebirth two weeks on. Only halfway through according to the Game Progress function on the PS5. Once I've completed it, I'll start Unicorn Overlord.
This is not surprising. The PS4 has amazing longevity. To put things into perspective:
PS3 release date: November 2006 PS4 release date: November 2013 PS5 release date: November 2020
We're in March 2024, 10⅓ years post-PS4 launch and 3⅓ years post-PS5 launch. The vast majority of games being released are available on PS4. The next FFXIV expansion, Dawntrail, will also be released on PS4.
The equivalent of this was March 2017, 10⅓ years post-PS3 launch and 3⅓ years post-PS4 launch. The only games released on PS3 that year were Persona 5, PES 2017, NBA 2K18, FIFA 18, and barely half a dozen of small indie titles. The FFXIV expansion of that year, Stormblood, was not released on PS3.
@Ken_Kaniff RIght, so using proper, correct, spelling and grammar means being a "grammar Nazi" now? People like you epitomize everything that's wrong with internet culture, the dude was helpfully pointing out a basic error, which to be fair, an "editor" should not even be making in the first place, he even apologized, when he shouldn't have, and you straight out verbally assault the dude.
Just when you begin to think Atlus can't get any more anti-consumer than they already are, you get another revelation to prove you wrong. Unbelievable.
So scummy from their part. After the whole Persona 5 debacle (many bought the game 3 times), I'd decided to only buy Atlus games second hand so that they don't get a penny from me.
Second-hand purchases only when it comes to Atlus titles on my part. People shouldn't give them their hard-earned money with these shady practices. Their statements are pure lies.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2024?
Tunic and FC24 make it a good selection
Re: Helldivers 2 PC Is Getting Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
The Stellar Blade controversy is not overblown at all. They explicitly stated the game would not be censored, then did go ahead and censor it!
In this Helldivers case, they did communicate the PSN requirement prior to the game's release, so these players can't complain!
Also I second @breakneck's comment, stop making games for PC players, Sony!

@Old_Man_Harper Good to know, thanks! I'll buy it eventually at a discounted price then.

Nah, I'll skip this one since it isn't possible to play solo.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Yet to Recoup Dev, Marketing Expenses as Tencent Raises Stake
I'd have bought this game had it been released in a physical format. There's simply no way I am spending £50 on a digital game.

Re: Random: We're In Awe of Metaphor: ReFantazio's Box Art
Wonder if they'll go the same route as Unicorn Overlord and skip the PS4 physical version... Hopefully not.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Rage-Inducing Retry Wording Has Been Quietly Re-Worked
@Ryall That's what I did too. Ambiguous as they might have been, it's simple logic that the options were in reverse chronological order.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Unicorn Overlord?
@Ryu_Niiyama Thanks. Did that include optional content like sidequests?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
I'd rate it 9/10 after 48 hours of gametime, the very obnoxious minigames are the reason I can't give it a 10
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Unicorn Overlord?
I plan on playing it, right after finishing Rebirth.
As for Vanillaware, it's defo one of my favourite devs.
