What year is it? We are still blaming a game being single player and a shooter for its failure? Pretty sure the best selling games last year were mainly single player. Maybe it's because it was a full priced game from a no name studio with one of the most generic names I've ever heard of.
Solid game. 3rd best Persona 3 release behind FES and Portable. Enjoy the updated visuals and voice acting. However it does feel like it's missing it's own identity with its Persona 5ish presentation.
Great achievement. I'm curious what this means in the long term strategy for Sony. Have to figure there's already boardroom discussions about how much this success is attributed to being day and date on PC vs it being a coop shooter that many gamers prefer to play on Steam with a mouse and keyboard.
Well as Perfect Dark remake, the only other AAAA game we know about, has been in development hell for years, this seems like a perfect moniker for Skull & Bones as well.
Grim Fandango is one of my favorites of all time. Hope the Monkey Island remakes on PS3 gets ported over. Those were so well done, and now just stranded on the old hardware.
Ooooow, seafood soup! I had no clue this game came out so soon. Love the unique art style and it's definitely been on my radar since it was revealed. Added to my wishlist!
Absolutely loving the game. My only two complaints is Yong as Kiryu is as bad as we all thought (but Kanji Tang as Ichiban makes up for it and why I keep on English). Also the impatient dialogue is absolutely absurd. All my party constantly telling me to hurry up, even when it's not my turn. But right now it's definitely a lock to be one of my favorite games this year (and Dondoko Island is my favorite Animal Crossing game ever as well)
They saw too many people like me who are just planning on waiting for the actual definitive version of the game. They needed to make a statement about it.
I'll be the contrarian in here and admit I'm sad the sequel isn't a twin stick shooter. Coop 3rd person shooters are a dime a dozen, but we haven't had a great twin stick shooter in quite some time.
As I just played through p3p last year twice, I'm gonna wait on this. Also I enjoyed FeMC far more so still holding out hope she's included in a future update
Worth every gig. Spending this month dodging Rebirth spoilers, while getting 5 stars on Dondoko Island. I keep forgetting there's a whole JRPG called Infinite Wealth in this Animal Crossing clone as well.
Been itching for another management sim game since two point campus and planet coaster. Perfect timing as I should hopefully be done with Rebirth by then.
One useless suit replaces another. Get paid millions of dollars to babysit the actual creatives. Execs in creative fields just seem so pointless to me.
That is such a bummer. Not just for those laid off, but Deus Ex is a franchise I really want to get into. Just not a good place to start on modern consoles.
Well deserved. Put about 15 hours in and loving it so far. Only minor complaints being Kiryu's English VA and the constant impatient dialogue from companions in battle (even when it's not my turn).
Ok this one I don't mind watching. However when Square releases their launch trailer aka let's spoil the entire game trailer for Rebirth, I'll be in the corner with my eyes closed and fingers in my ears going lalalalalala.
I was excited for this game, but now I'm gonna hold off for a sale. Don't want to reward these companies by paying $15 more for the full game. Sadly if the game doesn't sell well SEGA will probably just blame RGG and not their business practices.
I was probably going to keep it light in preparation for Infinite Wealth next week, but with the news of NG+ being locked behind the deluxe edition and there being 9 trophies attached to it, I'm going to pass. Now I got 6 weeks before Rebirth. Deciding to jump back into either Sea of Stars or BG3.
Not watching anymore trailers (especially with Square's history of self spoilers). But eagerly awaiting the demo for Rebirth. Was hoping it would drop before Infinite Wealth comes out.
Probably just a mistake. I am curious how this game performs. I loved the first Helldivers. But the switch to 3rd person doesn't interest me. I felt the same about Returnal tho and that ended up fantastic.
Greatest year in gaming ever yet a game Push Square awarded an 8/10 is the GOTY. I really enjoyed it, but BG3 defined what 2023 reached in terms of games.
@BusyOlf assuming you're talking about the Korean game DokeV. They announced early on this year there would be no further news until 2024. Pearl Abyss have Black Desert online they continue to maintain and I believe Crimson Desert is slated to release next for them
Definitely disappointing. As that initial trailer for DokeV seemed to show a lot of gameplay I figured it was further along. Was excited for my nieces to play that game, but they'll probably be moody teenagers when it finally releases
Never occured to me how few open world games there were this year. Actually kind of a refreshing revelation to me. Spiderman and Hogwarts were great. Avatar doesn't look like it would appeal to me. Tchia I do still wanna try sometime.

So I'll wait until the PS5 pro to play then....got it.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 Demo Update Will Improve Performance Mode Next Week

Re: Pentiment Pegged for PS5 Amid Ongoing Xbox Strategy Shift Rumours
Thursday can't come fast enough. Pentiment and HiFi Rush are my two favorite games on Xbox by a mile. Don't get games like that from AAA devs anymore.
Re: Xbox's Multiplatform Plans to Be Revealed on Thursday
Please just let me replay Hi Fi Rush on PlayStation before Rebirth drops.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Reload?
Solid game. 3rd best Persona 3 release behind FES and Portable. Enjoy the updated visuals and voice acting. However it does feel like it's missing it's own identity with its Persona 5ish presentation.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Helldivers 2?
Loved the first Helldivers, but still waiting on reviews. No reviews no buy!
Re: Recent Steam Concurrent Player Data Suggests Japanese Games Are Thriving
Good games are good games no matter their origin. Between Infinite Wealth and Rebirth I'm going to be quite busy the first half of the year.
Re: Remastered LucasArts Adventure Games Looking Likely for Release on PS5
Grim Fandango is one of my favorites of all time. Hope the Monkey Island remakes on PS3 gets ported over. Those were so well done, and now just stranded on the old hardware.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Feels Like a Strong Step Forward from Remake
"nostalgic familiarity with renewed uncertainty". Couldn't have put my feeling better with this remake series.
Re: Looks Like Netflix Exclusive Valiant Hearts Sequel Is Coming Home to PS4
Valiant Hearts and Child of Light were such amazing experiences. I honestly didn't even know a sequel was made.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?
Wont watch but I'll play the demo at least twice tonight.

Naughty Dog actually makes new games? Thought they just remastered old games now.

Re: Evidence of Rockin' Xbox Exclusive Hi-Fi Rush Coming to PS5 Continues to Mount
My GOTY last year. Absolutely amazing game, and hopefully now more people have the opportunity to buy it.

Re: Another PlayStation State of Play Broadcast Announced for Next Week, Featuring Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Ok demo coming Feb 6th. All I need to know. Not giving Square the opportunity to spoil the game by watching this though.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2024 Announced
Excellent month. Don't care about V-Tuber Splatoon, but Rollerdrome and Steelrising are excellent selections.
Re: Acclaimed Management Sim Planet Zoo Stampedes onto PS5 in March

Re: Open Roads Takes a Detour to March Release on PS5, PS4
Delayed games are eventually good but a game released at the same time as Rebirth would definitely be ignored.
Re: Deus Ex Game Reportedly Cancelled, Almost 100 Devs Laid Off
That is such a bummer. Not just for those laid off, but Deus Ex is a franchise I really want to get into. Just not a good place to start on modern consoles.
Re: The Excellent Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Has Had a Huge Opening Weekend

Re: Rec Room Dev 'Can't Justify' a PSVR2 Port
Even Sony can't justify ports of Astrobot, Blood and Truth, Wipeout Omega Collection etc to PSVR2.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5) - The Best Yakuza Game Ever Made
So much for my principles. I was planning on waiting for a sale due to the ng+ fiasco. But nope, the game is as amazing as it looked in previews
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is Now In Active Development
I'd be down. Best in the series in my opinion. Mainly because it was less of an AC game and more of a pirate adventure.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Removes New Game +, Puts It Behind a DLC Paywall
I was excited for this game, but now I'm gonna hold off for a sale. Don't want to reward these companies by paying $15 more for the full game. Sadly if the game doesn't sell well SEGA will probably just blame RGG and not their business practices.

Re: Suicide Squad Teases Major Post-Launch Support, 'Hundreds' of Build Combinations
Such a waste of time to keep supporting a game DoA. A 60fps patch for Arkham Knight would be a better use of their resources.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want from Sony and PlayStation in 2024?
All of the above option for me please! And Hi-Fi Rush!!!!!
Re: Helldivers 2 May Have Been Delayed on PS5 by a Few Weeks

Re: 30 PS5, PS4 Indie Games to Watch Out for in 2024
Animal Well, Cat Quest, and Plucky Squire for me. Very doubtful that Silksong comes out this year.
Re: PS5's Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Doesn't Want You to Forget About Its February Release
Some of these games really need to get delayed out of February. So weird how the last few Februaries have been so stacked

FF16 has a lot of issues, but its score was the best in gaming this year.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 DLC of 2023
My mind is blown that Horizon's DLC was this year. Felt like that came out ages ago.
