@DennisReynolds Sorry, but no. I haven't seen any sources that confirmed it was an "accident", but even if that was the case that doesn't excuse it. AI generated garbage sums up this game perfectly.
@LifeGirl Well it's not like console lifespans became longer because of Sony. It was always bound to happen as the advancements in technology slowed down. There's just not as much of a need for newer hardware to run newer games.
@TensuraFan7 For me it just says "you're offline" when I disconnect from the internet and the image comes back when I turn on the wifi again. Which background are you using?
None of these "wallpapers" really matter because they only work when you're online. It's like you're streaming them lol. We need system-wide themes that we can actually download.
To be fair, companies like Mihoyo prioritize quantity over quality and they lack the originality of the japanese devs. Genshin Impact exists because of Breath of the Wild and Star Rail exists because of Persona 5. Coincidentally, both japanese games.
@RoomWithaMoose This. A lot of people in the comments are bending over backwards to justify paid multiplayer and pretending like they own the free games they get from plus. It's sad to see, really.
1. Xbox is not dropping the payment requirement for the online multiplayer. They're just making a PC. That's it. Dropping it implies that they had the option to include it in the first place, which is obviously not the case.
2. No. Ps6 will NOT be the only next gen console to have a paid online requirement. Switch 3 will also have it.
@Dom_31 Because it literally is different for consoles and one of its biggest selling points. If I wanted to have to upgrade it every few years I'd have bought a pc, instead I buy a console because I expect to use it for 10 years, give or take.
The reason I upgraded to PS5 from PS4 this year was because the list of PS5 games I wanted to play that didn't/wasn't going to release on PS4 got pretty big and it was only getting bigger. PC doesn't have any games so it never made sense to buy a gaming PC. They're quite overpriced and all PC games (minus the shovelware) come to PS5 anyways. I suspect I'll do the same for PS6; wait until the list of PS6-only games grow way too big for me to ignore before I buy it.
@Veritas7Ax The reason why your comments come off so silly is because you're talking about ps5's "legacy" when it hasn't even lived through half of its lifecycle. Ps4 isn't even dead yet lmao (although admittedly it's getting there.)
I recently did a playthrough of P4G and gotta say, this game really aged like milk. I'm just curious to see how they'll go about fixing the problematic parts of the story (Yosuke's homophobia, Naoto's arc etc.) NG+ mode needs a revamp too. We should be able to carry our equipment over like in 3 and 5.
Looks like switch 2 and xbox are getting the inferior version of the game. This reminds me of how they ruined the ff7 remaster on ps4 by adding cheat buttons that you couldn't toggle off.
Yeah, no. As others have said first person view doesn't make a game scarier, nor was RE7 a scary game. Definitely a fun game, but not a scary one. First vs third person view is literally just a preference thing.
Unlike Persona 3, p4's story and characters aged like milk. Curious to see how they'll fix the issues with Kanji and Naoto's storylines as well as the problematic characterization of Yosuke. Won't buy the game but still curious.
Ps5 has Switch 2 beat both in terms of raw power and first party exclusives, so he's not wrong. Switch 2 is a terrible console to play on a TV but it's an okay handheld device, and there's a market for that too.
Yeah the trailer looks awful, as do the graphics. That aside, Persona 4's story aged like milk so if for nothing else I'm curious to see how they'll go about fixing it. Kanji and Naoto's segments in particular need a lot of rework. I won't be buying it regardless though, just like I didn't buy Reload.
@Nepp67 To be fair the devs ARE pretty sexist. They're allowed to exclude the femc but we're also allowed to call out their misogyny which has been very apparent by their past interviews.
So obviously this game is trash but it's interesting in that comparing p5 to p5x gives us an idea of how good a gacha game can be when you get rid of the gacha, timegating and fomo elements, predatory monetization, always online requirement etc. and make it a 60$, complete game. It's just that it happened in reverse here.
No thank you. Remaking P3 at least made sense as it was the best entry in the series, and even that remake turned out to be a lazily made, incomplete cash grab. At this point I'd take nothing less than Persona 6 from Atlus.

Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
