120 hours and a platinum trophy. I'm ready for the expansion. Haters are clueless. Framerate issue is overplayed just like the microtransactions were. It's not bad enough to ruin the experience.
Missable quests aren't as bad this time around. Especially regarding trophies.
@Mortal I paid for D2 and spent countless hours on the game. Not once did I feel swindled when it went free to play. I got my money's worth easily and if it meant other people got to try it out then good.
I noticed less people crying about live service games lately. I guess the most popular game and one of the most fun games right now, Helldivers 2, being live service with microtransactions has killed their already weak arguement.
Live service isn't inherently bad. Games being bad is bad. Like Suicide Squad. That's bad.
Funny how people think DD2 doesn't hit 60fps because of hardware restrictions. It's optimisation and it will be rectified. A Pro will more likely hit a much higher FPS in future as in by the time it actually releases.
This is cool and scary. Good thing inns are stupidly overpriced eh?
The micro transactions in this game are being severely over-exaggerated by people (as usual). Not once have I seen them advertised in game and not once have I been compelled to visit the store to fix an issue. People need to calm down.
This is what Capcom used to do during their antagonist spell. I'm worried they're going back to their old ways. They were doing so well in recent years.
Is there anything in the second half of 2024? Feels like it's front loaded. It's meant to be a good year for horror games too. Not sure when they are out.
This came out of nowhere. The thing about these games is that they are better with overhaul mods. I wonder if they are just remastered vanilla or have some ideas from the more popular mods added?
@Uromastryx Rebirth is so horribly bloated it's insane. They even have 'climb generic tower to reveal other generic objectives'. Each region also has way too many of them.
@atthegates as someone who platinumed GoT and both Niohs, GoT should be the game with less depth than this. Would need to play RotR first to see everything. Team Ninja have never made a Soulslike and probably never will. Their NG roots are too strong.
I've never had waiting times and I've been playing for two weeks. I thought it was odd that I wasn't being kicked when I was just idling on my destroyer.
I've been playing it all day yesterday. The Starship Troopers inspiration is so strong it made me smile.
It's good that they are pushing for more staff to create content because as it is now, it wouldn't be able to maintain the playerbase. I could see people getting bored.
As much as I love the game, it's nowhere near as good as Destiny 2 but I'm willing to give it time to build up.

KH4 should be KH6 since the FF7 sequels are basically KH anyway

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite PS5 Game of 2024 So Far?
Rebirth was a disappointment. The hackjob to the story took the shine off the gameplay and music.
LAD, Helldivers, and Dragon's Dogma 2 are all better games.

Re: Helldivers 2 Is Selling at a Faster Rate Than Spider-Man 2 in the UK
Way too much hate going on here. To say Helldivers is vastly superior is sensationalist. Feels like it's personal.

Re: Free Skins and New Game+ for Stellar Blade After PS5 Launch
@MikeOrator I want good gameplay but the eye candy is a bonus I suppose. Still would prefer a badass dude if I had the choice.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin?
@Recover20 people vote 1/10 on every poll. You can just ignore them. I'd say 7+ are the only real scores here
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Reportedly 'Fully Open World', Coming Q1 2025
This would be great if it happened. I've never liked the PSP instanced level limitations existing in modern versions.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC? Tell Capcom You Want Another Dark Arisen in New Survey
@Tomato_Goose it can be better optimised. The frame rates not the best but it doesn't break the game
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Discover Working Trebuchets, Secret Areas
@ApostateMage pawns are so much better this time. I love the conversations and that you can tell them to go when they suggest something.
Re: Preview: Stellar Blade Is the PS5 Exclusive Enthusiasts Have Been Praying For
I'll play if the gameplay is good enough. Nothing else really appeals.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Off to a Weak Start at Retail
@Casco it's cheaper and people probably think they're the same game anyway

Re: Big Dragon's Dogma 2 Updates Incoming as Capcom Confirms List of PS5 Improvements
It's a wonderful game but yes the frame rates are an issue. They actually slow the game down.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Plot Mass NPC Murder to Boost the Frame Rate
For science!
All hail science
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch
This is what Capcom used to do during their antagonist spell. I'm worried they're going back to their old ways. They were doing so well in recent years.

Re: Rise of the Ronin (PS5) - A Safe, Outdated Open World Game
Something Team Ninja has always been good at: combat
Something Team Ninja has always been bad at: story.
People shouldn't be surprised by that here.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
The original is a classic which came out of nowhere for Capcom. I'm glad this one was worth the long wait.
Now remake Dino Crisis, damn you.

@Kraven I love the faster pace of Nioh.

If it's not as bloated as FF7 Rebirth I'm happy.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Is Much Bigger Than the First Game, But the Main Story Will Respect Your Time
@Nepp67 Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne, Elden Ring are all open world games that respected the player's time.

Owning the IP is enough. They don't need to acquire the Devs.

Re: Rise of the Ronin Gets Loads of New PS5 Gameplay Footage, Featuring 8 Different Fighting Styles
@atthegates as someone who platinumed GoT and both Niohs, GoT should be the game with less depth than this. Would need to play RotR first to see everything. Team Ninja have never made a Soulslike and probably never will. Their NG roots are too strong.
Re: New GreedFall 2 Trailer Reveals a PS5 Prequel to Watch Out For
They need to fix the voice acting but most importantly they need to fix all the god damn backtracking. Getting the platinum nearly ruined me.

Re: Rise of the Ronin Confirms Character Creator, Four Player Co-Op for Main Missions
It's TN and they (the new TN) have been good since Nioh, so I'm hyped for this. Will try co-op with my SO since she enjoyed GoT.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Bucks Industry Trend with Rising Weekly Sales
This is what happens when a game comes out of nowhere and is advertised through word of mouth etc due to the game being fun.
The next challenge is how they handle adding new content.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction
@ShogunRok I'm pretty sure the PS Store is selling Remake and Rebirth as a bundle for the same price as Rebirth. So all it costs ya is time.

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Be More Transparent About PS5, PS4's Most Played Games?
You can see the number of players playing Helldivers 2 through the game itself. You know, when the stats are actually working.

Re: Readers Vote Gears of War Above Halo as Their Most Wanted Xbox Series on PlayStation
@Korgon Resistance 1 and 2 were as good as Halo 1 and 2. They just didn't get pushed as hard and R3 had a weird and kind of pointless story.
