Actually I was more confused then anything as to why they were changed so drastically @Undeadlogan but thanks for the "whiney complaint" at my opinion that they look a little off!
Maybe it's just me @get2sammyb but I'd highlight the fact that Mortal Kombat XL is $5.99 too apparently rather then the base version which comes without the 8 DLC characters
Wouldn't mind a re-release of this that at least came with Tira (Though I'd like everyone else dlc wise too!).
Say what you will about capcom releasing SF V again next year but at least it's also be up to date with nearly all the released comtent for a bargain price
I'm genuinely confused... How does that even make sense?!
Most people who are getting it probably backed it on Kickstarter anyway.
I doubt people will be going out in droves to get this... Why embargo it til two days after release? (Besides the obvious of it's crap and they want money of course)
Think you mean John Connor (You put Conners in paragraphs 2 & 3) @LiamCroft... unless there's some time travel shenanigans in the plot moreso then the usual films
Other then that sounds a bit intriguing... Not at £50 though!
I did mention the line-up in the Chit-Chat thread yesterday
It could've been worse... Could've been much better too.
MK 11 or Samurai Shodown will be interesting to play on it as there no doubt will be input lag.
Don't know anything about Shodown but MK11 despite only having 3 button combos is still gonna be subject to lag, especially if you're not an amatuer like me!
Plus a quarter of the lineup is just Tomb Raider
Oh and one of the 14 supposed games coming is Farming Simulator 2019!
I'd say Xbox Game Pass, PS Now and all these streaming services can end up making people appreciating games (and the work that goes into them) a little less in all honesty, even for someone like me that loves a good bargain.
Same with the ridiculous Steam sales I hear about!
It's a pain in the butt when you buy anything and it suddenly gets a price cut but nothing you can really do about it unfortunately @BridgeToClarity
I wouldn't say you're trolling. Your original comment could come off as sounding entitled though that the games added don't suit your taste/you already have them as well as the price bit.
Shame this is the straw that seemingly broke the camel's back for you
Considering John Wick was originally just called Scorn (Bit of a lame title) til Reaves kept excitedly telling people he was doing a film called John Wick.... Yeah I can see this happening easy lol
I've said before on Push Square but when I played FFVII the first time about six years ago, countless years of it being heralded as the greatest jrpg ever soured the experience beyond belief.
A similarish scenario happened with the Witcher 3 though It was much less drastic and I considered it to be a solid game but not terribly groundbreaking. (Replaying it now I'm appreciating it more though)
I haven't really listened to any hype regarding Cyberpunk. I watched bits of the 40 minute demo to see what it's like and listening to the two Samurai tracks.
I'll probably even ignore the Push Square review (at least til I've played it!) so I can go in as fresh as possible.
That way it'll be on the game's actual merits and no outside influences
Wellllllp I just cleared out all of White Orchard and met the Emperor of Nilfgaard/Charles Dance.
Yep I'm on the Witcher 3 replay train (Choo-Choo!) for PS4 too, having caved and paused my playthrough of Dark Souls 2: Scholar Of The First Sin at Drangelic Castle.
Have to say I think I'm enjoying The Witcher 3 (or rather appreciating it) a bunch more this time around then I did the first time I played.
Might play Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back via The N.Sane Trilogy if I fancy a little break.
Read the review and I still have no idea how I feel about it. Less weird then it was making itself out to be though I think.
Thought it might've been a nine too (Not that I particularly care about scores in the slightest) before getting to the end with the thoughts about the middle being not up to snuff.
Think I'll wait a bit before purchasing Postman Pat Sam but it's definitely something I'll get my hands on sooner hopefully rather then later.
I just thought it was kinda obvious from the get go that the article was more so considering home consoles @Ralizah (Sony certainly doesn't have a pony in the handheld race after all anymore)
Certainly no ill will to @Knuckles-Fajita (Kudos on the rebuttal Fajita)
I honestly couldn't care less if the PS4 was in a millionth place... They'd still probably make more money in one day then I would in my lifetime and I certainly don't feel the need to praise them for selling a plastic box more then the others 😅
... Even if I do quite like my PS4 and it's library
When did everyone become so pedantic and walking dictionaries to boot?
Of course the GB and DS are handheld consoles and technically the PS4 is 4th if you include everything but I think it's clear they were only talking about home consoles if they only mentioned the Wii in the article
-EDIT- Especially so now it's been edited to say so!
... I'd say Persona 5 was a bit too long in the first place and it's one of the reasons why Royal doesn't excite me
Unless they cut down the amount of repetition like the messages or plot points being drilled into your brain (Not to mention the hand holding for the first twenty hours) I don't see how it'll be anything but ridiculously long 😂
I thought Dark Souls or one of it's sequels (especially the second as that is quite lengthy) might be up here... Though maybe I'm just a slowpoke/crap at those
I put Dark Souls II: SotFS on hold for most of my week off... But I think I'll start it up again now having taken a breather with Crash Bandicoot amidst all the meetings and lesson planning this week during half term
I'm... Actually more interested in this then Royal to be honest
Have fun with those @crimsontadpoles! I'd reccommend looking up "The Answer" which is the Persona 3 FES only Epilogue whenever you get round to beating P3P!
Yeah I can certainly understand... I've played Persona 2:EP, Persona 3, P4 and P5 (Which I didn't enjoy as much) as well @PhantomXIII along with a bunch of other jrpgs. The tropes/plot points can wear ya down at times, my mood seems to really affect whether I don't mind or loathe them.
Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (Or SMT 3:Nocturne if in the US) has none of the tropes/plot devices you mentioned bar goo monsters and a supernatural slant of a setting. It's actually part of the main series that the Persona series is actually an offshoot of.
The world ends in the first ten minutes for example with only five other human characters left. There's a supernatural-ish setting but it's still mostly Tokyo (albeit ruined). There's evil gods/demons/angels/goo monsters and the likes but you don't fight them to change the world back. It oozes an opressive and lonely atmosphere as there's only the protagonist as the common fixture in the party with the other members being demon's you'll constantly keep switching in and out with persona like fusions or recruitment
It's a PS2 game (Though availible on the PS3's PSN store) so it is rather old school in terms of design like going round the overworld and quite obtuse at times. It's also fairly hard.
Just might be up your alley though if you want a jrpg that doesn't conform to those points for the most part. I'd reccomend a look at a video or three on youtube.
I didn't even think of Dark Cloud @RedMan33. That'd be a pretty cool remake as I played the demo disc that came with the PS2 a number of times that had it on til I finally got it!
I'd also be up for Soul Reaver even though I never played the actual game... Always wanted to though!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 302
Trying to juggle Divinity Original Sin II: Defintive Edition , Soul Calibur VI and Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night all on PS4.
Not usually one for playing three different games at a time but I'm managing... just! 😂
Put Witcher III on hold though to accomdate my new purchases. I just reached Skellige though so not a bad time for a break at all.
Re: Site News: Share Your Best PS4 Screenshots in Push Square's Community Competition

Re: A New BioShock Has Been Announced, Almost Certainly a PS5 Game

Re: Feature: The Game Awards 2019 Predictions - 10 Announcements We're Expecting
Elden Ring'd be nice to hear about... Even if it's just we're making it a cross gen title or something!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 301
Geralt of Rivia is in both games I'm playing this weekend.
Witcher III & Soul Calibur VI.
He's a nice fit in SC and has a fun playstyle.
Currently using Azwel though... who is delightfully bonkers to put it mildly 😂
Re: Pokémon-Style MMO Temtem Is Coming Along Nicely in New Gameplay Video
The ps4 needs some more monster catching/raising/battling games.
There's Digimon Cyber Sleuth and it's sequel...
... I think that's it.
But as Octane says I have no intention of playing this if it's an always online only game! Which is a shame as it looks fairly competent otherwise!
Re: Resident Evil 3 Remake Is the Gaming Industry's Worst Kept Secret

Re: Rumour: Bayonetta Joins Vanquish in Remaster Double Pack, Coming February 2020
Oooh I never bought Bayonetta on ps3 because the problems with the port I kept hearing about
Happily give it a try!
Never heard of Vanquish before though til now...
Re: Persona 5 Royal Western Release Date Leaked Ahead of Reveal, March 2020 Is Now Insane on PS4
March's release window is just plain silly... There's so many smaller games that are going to get completely buried here!!!
As for Royal itself I ended looking up details on the added story as it's no interest me (Somewhat hopeful for Strikers though)
... That's uhh... something...I guess... I hope people enjoy it but... glad I'm saying no 😅
Re: Resident Evil 3 Remake Is the Gaming Industry's Worst Kept Secret
It just me or does Nemesis' design look really off? ... So does Jill in fact...

Quite a lot of Titanfall 2 tat up for sale... wonder why
Re: Wake Me Up When The Game Awards End With Green Day Performance and Reveal
Bit of a tortured article trying to squeeze in all those song titles wasn't it? 😅
Geoff could be King For A Day
I suppose watching this game award show you could have the... Time Of Your Life
Will Kojima be mentioned 86 times throughout the show?
... I'll see myself out too 😂

Re: Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Announced for PS4, Bundles Everything Together in 2020

Re: Days Gone Is PlayStation Game of the Year at This Year's Golden Joystick Awards

Re: UK Sales Charts: Star Wars and Pokémon See Death Stranding Take a Tumble
... Seriously? The dual edition of Pokémon got 7th?! Didn't think many people bought both entries... Plus I thought it'd just go into Sword/Shield totals seperately and not be it's own entry
Surprised Star Wars is in second honestly as I only saw one advert for it 😂
Re: Shenmue III's Review Embargo Lifts Days After the Release Date
I'm genuinely confused... How does that even make sense?!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 298
I'm playing Pokémon Omega Ruby in short bursts every now and again as the pokémon bug (A weedle probably) bit me but I don't have a switch so... that'll have to do. Enjoying it too
Getting back to the Witcher 3 though on PS4 though after a week off from it!
Re: Ryuji Still Loves Smacking Things in Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers

Ryuji "I'll blab that we're the phantom thieves constantly" Sakamoto'll be left on the sidelines for me

Re: New Saints Row Game to Be Revealed in 2020

Oh and keep Kinzie too. I quite liked her out the group. Pierce too I guess

Ha ha I wouldn't quite know I'm not great at them at all, counting frames and stuff is beyond me
I'm one of those weirdos who likes fighting games for the story @KALofKRYPTON ... At least before Netherrealm's woeful attempts in the newer ones!
Forgot only Destiny 2 was free (...Though that's partially free to play now anyway)
Is the pricing going to be cheaper for these games? Cus I really don't see many benefits at all otherwise!

Re: Talking Point: If Bluepoint Games Isn't Working on Demon's Souls, What's Your Dream Sony Remake?
Yeah I can certainly understand... I've played Persona 2:EP, Persona 3, P4 and P5 (Which I didn't enjoy as much) as well @PhantomXIII along with a bunch of other jrpgs. The tropes/plot points can wear ya down at times, my mood seems to really affect whether I don't mind or loathe them.
