There really should be more anti scalping laws. With the advent of bots it's absurd this is a business people can run that provide negative benefit to society.
Best game since Rayman and Child of Light. Oh well, like most bloated corpos they just care about franchises that make ALL the money, not just some of the money.
@Hida they mention this in their review of the game, but jumping into this game without experiencing the others is not advisable. This is the 10th game in the series. While I still haven't played the first 3 games, the Sky trilogy, I would say you should experience the story as close to the start as possible.
However that's obviously daunting to play 6 JRPGs in preparation to this. The bare minimum would be to play both Cold Steel 3 and 4. You get introduced to most characters in those games and while you may miss some of the finer details, it's pretty easy to catch up through googling characters and events they you don't understand.
Gave it a 9 as it continues the excellent high bar the series had set for itself. Combat is second to none when it comes to turn based JRPGs, the dialogue is well written as always, and the story is surprisingly engaging for what essentially is a giant interlude to the next arc of the story.
Complaints are the usual cringe we unfortunately have to deal with in these games. Also some of the voice acting is a real head scratcher (Why does KeA sound like an adult?)
They need to overhaul the entire itemization in my opinion. Sorry if I'm not excited for a 2.7% increase to my lightning damage of close enemies who are vulnerable only on a Wednesday.
Maybe if it was a complete package like people were asking combining the best parts of FES and P3P. But I'll wait until they come out with Persona 3 Sapphire in a couple years.
Super excited for this. While having so many playable characters is annoying and a bit of a chore arranging their quartz and equipment, I love that they have so many characters that fans gravitate to. I'm even excited to see cameos from random Thor's students and Crossbell citizens throughout this game.
I don't understand how they keep up with their workload. Small team that releases a giant 50+ hour game every year. Truly amazing how efficient they are.
Some guy with two first names and a cool leather jacket told me this update will have 16 times the detail! Not sure what that meant but he would never lie to me.
Glad I waited on this. Was tempted as a few of the early reviews gave it around an 8/10. But between the price tag and amount of competition around it, I'm happy to wait until is patched and pick it up on a sale for probably 1/3rd of the price
Takes a lot of confidence to release your game the same day as FFXVI. One could say it's too much confidence. Excessive confidence/pride even. I feel like there's a word for that.
It's only $20 more for an entire year. I never understood the hate premium gets. Also easy for me since I was already subbed to PS Now, so it just carried me over with the same price
When every game needed to be bigger and bigger we of course come to this predicament. Honestly if God of War Ragnarok (as an example) was half as long I probably would have enjoyed it more.
I gave it an 8. Despite my numerous complaints about level scaling, gear itemization, online only etc, the fact is I've put in over 30 hours within a week. So 8 it is!
That was so weird. I had to rewind to reread their indefinite delay announcement at the end. Like why not wait until you're comfortable with a release window until you reveal the game again.
Diablo and FFXVI for me. Park Beyond as well if it reviews well. Then Trails into reverie, Everspace 2, Sea of Stars, Baldurs Gate 3.....gonna be a busy summer.
Solid month. Trek to Yomi is good, and did want to try Jurassic Park Evo 2 (I didn't like the first). Plus a gambling simulator is offered as the third game as well. I'll take it.
Logitech G Cloud lasts a long time (my only comparison to this device). Not sure what they have in the specs, but I've literally used it for 4 hours and it was only down to like 60% battery life.
Insomniac will have released 3 games before we even see a frame of gameplay from Factions (which I still think of as just the multiplayer component of TLOU2)
@PlayStationGamer3919 Being American, I love learning British words/spellings I somehow never knew about. I remember a random GT7 patch notes articles I was astonished how the word "tyres" was spelled.
That's disappointing. Didn't think a full priced LEGO game would be full of microtransactions. I guess kudos for them not hiding them during the review period at least.
This sounds great. Never heard of this game until now. Can't help but notice we get two Lemmings inspired games (with VR compatibility as this one is on Quest) in the same week.
The DLC (also the collection is named whole in one) is phenomenal. You can tell the developers get better with each course they create. Great inclusion of cross play so I can play with my friends and family who already have this game on the Quest.
Great to see. I've bought both and finally playing through Zero now (about halfway through). Absolutely an amazing game with unmatched characters and lore.
Not that I care about either game, this is just weird and downright embarrassing. Seems like every month they announce a game and then pull it a couple days later. Hell when the new serviced launched they put Evil Genius 2 on it and then pulled it off a few days later (and since moved it back on several months after that). Curious how unorganized they seem for such an important process.

Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
I was gonna put Zidane, but just realized I never knew his last name. So feel like that disqualifies that vote from me.

Re: Destruction AllStars Dev Gobbled Up by Tencent Subsidiary
What's funny is if Destruction All Stars ended up being successful, I'd suspect that Sony would already have purchased them last year.

Re: Bloodborne PS5 Running at 60fps a Welcome Sight for Old Hunters
60fps Bloodborne will be the Half Life 3 of this generation. Constantly teased and rumored, but never come to fruition.

Phew. I was worried how I was going to choose between this and FFXVI to play.
Re: Breaking: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will Have a Story
I actually prefer this vague teasing of the game compared to them downright spoiling the game in their FF7R trailers.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 479
Going to finish up Trails to Azure before Diablo 4 comes out on Monday. Want to make sure I'm caught up on Trails before Reverie comes out on a month

Finally! Spent nearly a year waiting for Android support, but I just bought the Logitech g cloud with the PS play app which works perfectly.
Re: Final Fantasy Could Ditch Numbers for Future Instalments
