I have to say, this is the least interesting looking MK game in a while. I've always loved the series, but with Street Fighter 6 absolutely killing it, it's hard for me to look at this and feel like it's not just a slight update to MK11.
I'm excited to see where the series goes from here. They still have room to improve on character interactions and establishing a "big bad" that gives our characters purpose for getting together beyond their own individual stories. They made some progress with this one, but I'd love to see it go even further in the next iteration.
Has any fighting game ever gotten a 10? I'm curious because if this one didn't I'm not sure what it'd take to achieve that. This has pretty much anything a fan of the genre could want and more.
@Gaia093 Agreed. Maybe it's a British take because to me Clive sounds just fine. Maybe Clive is the British equivalent of "billy bob" here in the US? I dunno. Not sure why the hate.
A sequel would be great. It doesn’t have to follow the same characters or story line. I’d love to see it focus more on the actual Hogwats school experience instead of outdoors, which is where I felt most of the game took place.
Man, how great would it be to get a FF6 remake with these graphics? I don’t know how likely that is considering the recent pixel remasters but I’d be all in.
I really enjoyed this game. It's not perfect by any means, but a great first game out of the gate. I think if they just made it next-gen only, they could make it even better.
I started to feel less good about FF after X. Upon retrospect, I like that game a lot more now than I did back when I first played it. I was put off by the voice acting and the lack of a real world-map. I also thought the setting was kinda dull.
I also was hyped about XII. I put about 40 hours into that game and then quit after being killed in-between some very key save points. I was never captivated by the main story in that game and I didn't care for the gambit system. Too much micromanagment.
13 was a disappointment as was 15. I was shocked at how good 14 was/is and super thrilled that 7:Remake turned out so good.
I can't wait for this one. Feels like they've taken all that they've learned in the past 15 years and corrected a lot of the issues. Yoshi P is a genius and I have no doubt this will be excellent.
The big X factor is a persons right to watch it or not watch it. Personally I'm happy to see more footage. I don't understand why people complain when they can just ignore it.
I'd love to know what constitutes "abuse"? Trolls are trolls. Doesn't make their behavior morally right, but I feel like the best way to deal with that is just to ignore them. Maybe that's what she's doing?
Saying someone sucked at something isn't abuse. If that were the case, every sports commentator worth their salt would be out of a job.
I personally hate micromanaging stuff like this, so hopefully they'll give some basic presets that I can just set and forget. Having more flexibility will be good for those that like to tinker, though.
This is timely. I literally just ordered mine yesterday.
I don' think this will ever replace my normal flat-screen gaming hobby. It's just a supplemental to that. The fact that it can provide experiences that a simple 2D setup cant do gives it viability for me regardless as to whether or not it's supported in the long term. I hope to at least see some updates to past PS4 titles to round the system out a bit better, but either way I'm still going to be glad to have something like this on hand.
It sucks but it's honestly not surprising. The price of many things are going up, worldwide. That's what a Global shutdown will do to you. We didn't really think we'd see no consequences did we? Sucks though. For sure.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Mortal Kombat 1?
There’s just something too “samey” about this game to me. I dunno. Feels behind compared to Street Fighter 6.

Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?

Re: Japanese Final Fantasy 16 Sales Plummet by 90% in Second Week

@Michael2008ish I did but my brain must have skipped over it. Thanks for the clarification.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 (PS5) - Final Fantasy's Triumphant Return to the Top
Awesome! Sounds like this is pretty much what I wanted from the game.
I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but I assume this copy was reviewed before the pending Day 1 patch we're getting, right?
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Gets PS5 Gameplay as Early 2024 Release Window Is Confirmed
Really excited for this as OG FF7 is my favorite game of all time. I really have enjoyed the Remake stuff so far as well.
I think the biggest sigh of relief is seeing how big and expansive this game is looking. That's so key to making FF7 feel correct.
Re: Square Enix Doesn't Think You've Seen Enough Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Gameplay

Re: Acclaimed PS5, PS4 RPG Sequel Octopath Traveler 2 Tops One Million Sales
Loved this game. Put almost 90 hours into it.

Re: Clive's Voice Actor in Final Fantasy 16 Thought He Was Going to Get Fired
I'll take a name like Clive over any kind of faux Latin "noctic lucias" nonsense any day.
Re: Horizon Vocalist Receives Abuse Over the Use of Her Voice
If this were a sports athlete, no one would care. Best to just ignore it since giving this kind of attention doesn't help in any way.

Re: Rumour: Konami Expected to Feature in Huge PS Showcase in Coming Weeks
MGS3 is my favorite out of all of the MG games but I'd still love to see a MGS1 remake more than anything.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy's Massive PS5 Success Looks to Have Conjured a Sequel Already
A sequel would be great. It doesn’t have to follow the same characters or story line. I’d love to see it focus more on the actual Hogwats school experience instead of outdoors, which is where I felt most of the game took place.
Re: Gran Turismo Movie's First Trailer Tells the Whole Tale in Two Minutes
They should do this with the new Street Fighter. Show someone who's mastered all the combos and then tries to apply them in the UFC.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
I will 100 percent be getting this game. But as of now I'm still working on Octopath Traveler 2 and Resident Evil 4.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5) - Fantastic Sequel Is Bigger and Better in Every Way
My wallet…it’s going to suffer. I’m still playing Octopath Traveler 2 and have yet to dive into Resident Evil 4 remake. And the pixel remasters.
Re: Microsoft Dealt Major Blow as UK Blocks Activision Buyout

Re: Live A Live (PS5) - 90s JRPG Is Still Amazingly Unique All These Years Later
Man, how great would it be to get a FF6 remake with these graphics? I don’t know how likely that is considering the recent pixel remasters but I’d be all in.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy, PS5's Spellbinding Harry Potter Spin-Off, Massively Exceeded Sales Expectations
I really enjoyed this game. It's not perfect by any means, but a great first game out of the gate. I think if they just made it next-gen only, they could make it even better.
Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy 16 Is the Most Excited I've Been for the Series in Almost 20 Years

Re: Watch 25 Minutes of Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Gameplay in Glorious 4K
As pretty much a life long Final Fantasy fan, I'm pumped!
I spent 10 years waiting for Versus 13 (15) to finally come out and that was a major disappointment. This is looking to be the total opposite.
Re: Soapbox: Watch Another 20 Minutes of Final Fantasy 16? You Must Be Mad
The big X factor is a persons right to watch it or not watch it. Personally I'm happy to see more footage. I don't understand why people complain when they can just ignore it.

Re: Resident Evil 4's Ada Wong Responds to Social Media Abuse
I'd love to know what constitutes "abuse"? Trolls are trolls. Doesn't make their behavior morally right, but I feel like the best way to deal with that is just to ignore them. Maybe that's what she's doing?

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Battle Lead Wants to 'Surpass Final Fantasy 12's Gambit System'
I personally hate micromanaging stuff like this, so hopefully they'll give some basic presets that I can just set and forget. Having more flexibility will be good for those that like to tinker, though.
Re: Soapbox: PSVR2 Already Feels Like It's on Course for Failure
This is timely. I literally just ordered mine yesterday.
I don' think this will ever replace my normal flat-screen gaming hobby. It's just a supplemental to that. The fact that it can provide experiences that a simple 2D setup cant do gives it viability for me regardless as to whether or not it's supported in the long term.

Looks phenomenal. I appreciated the humor and candor.
Re: Poll: Was The Last of Us - Episode 3 the Best One Yet?
An incredibly stupid and pointless episode. Not for me at all. Doesn't serve the story either. The game's story line of this was far superior.
