This is definitely Japan's year with all the releases coming out later too.
I'm over 100 hours deep into Infinite Wealth and I still have a lot left to do. I can see myself hitting 150 hours. The later chapters are some of Kiryu's best in any game.
I actually prefer the fixed camera. I think games in the horror genre benefits from them. Faster paced games like Dead Space are better with the camera they have.
That tweet is not working so I guess they deleted it. No doubt they are running damage control so they can release and sell another dud later. These types always do it.
At some point we will need LAD: Sujimon, but I agree that Nintendo's IPs need to be challenged. Pokémon and Animal Crossing in particular have seen releases with a fraction of the effort and content they could have had.
I would wait for Palworld to survive the PC release first. It's by no means in the clear, it's just an early acess game and a promise.
Black Flag is a fan favourite and felt like it could have contained even more content. They are remaking it for those reasons. Fans of the original games and fans of the reboot games both love Black Flag. It's very obvious that this remake will do well.
@danzoEX I don't think NG+ is just that. It looks like a whole new mode. Obviously it would be better if NG+ was separated from whatever the hell that dlc is. The last two GoW games are a great example of free Ng+ with added content but Sony and SM are much more stable financially than Sega.
That dlc doesnt interest me at all. Nor does a partial remake (it doesn't have FES does it?). I want Persona 6 or a new SMT game. If I wanna play P3 I'll fire up the PS2 and play the FES edition.
Great news but this doesn't always work out as well as you'd hope. Look at Callisto Protocol. Still hoping they succeed and we get a Callisto sequel we can be happy with.
I got all points automatically when the central issue was fixed, but not LAD Gaiden which I opened a support chat about before the fix. They eventually added the points for that game and sent an email as well to confirm.
If you have the app installed you'll get a push notification when the points are added. So no having to constantly check.
@Wilforce Season 2 was revealed early because they were in a place of desperation at the time with all the negative criticism and dwindling player numbers. It was definitely not what they intended.
Flashlights in the right hands can be extremely frustrating for lower level killers. I can imagine the derision they're feeling knowing a flashlight specialist is on his way 😂
@Sakai I'm on my fifth dualsense since launch because every one of them has developed left stick leftwards drift. I look after them too so it's not a case of abuse.
@Bez87 Kiryu does have a special ability that lets you freely run around in battle and beat people up classic style. Don't think you can use heat moves doing it though. Not 100% sure on that.
@GeeEssEff do it you know it's gonna be a good time. Where else will you get a minigame parody of Pokémon Snap called Sicko Snap, where the Pokémon are actually scantily clad perverted exhibitionist men?
I don't watch trailers so the cancer thing was spoiled by articles unfortunately. You can tell something is wrong with Kiryu a few minutes into the demo though.
This game has been on my must play list before it was even announced. The thing I'm most impressed by is actually Kiryu's extreme heat mode analogue. The way they spliced traditional Yakuza gameplay into the turn based battle system is genius. Also happy they brought back his fighting styles from 0.
Capcom's redemption arc from greedy mictrotransaction abusers has been great, but I've been a fan of Larian since Divinity 2 back in 2009 and they have consistently improved with each game they've made so my vote will go for them any time.
Like a Dragon is one of my favourite JRPGs due to the grown up/real world twist on JRPG mechanics mixed with Yakuza wackiness. Infinite Wealth is one of my most wanted games of 2024.
Is he project director or lead writer? I mean the writer who deserves all the credit is Karpyshyn who left ME a long time ago (more like forced onto SWTOR to save it).
Kiryu is a legend, he should not be voiced by a youtuber with VA aspirations. This is coming from someone who only plays Yakuza in Japanese as intended.
They got the right people and even Drew is back, this is dreamy. Mass Effect went downhill when EA bought Bioware midway through 2 and altered the story.
So Harley web slings like Spiderman, Deadshot is dead - shot, and impersonated...and Superman has a stark resemblance to Henry Cavill. Batman doesn't sound right without Kevin's voice. Not an easy man to replace.

Re: Readers Vote Gears of War Above Halo as Their Most Wanted Xbox Series on PlayStation
Good to see the people making the right decision. Halo peaked in the first 2 games and fell off hard after 3. Gears would be fantastic to have.
Re: Recent Steam Concurrent Player Data Suggests Japanese Games Are Thriving

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours?
I still haven't played Gears 3 and how no idea have the story ended. If it comes to playstation I'm binging the first 3. Heard it fell off after that.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
No matter what there will always be weirdos who give something a 1 and are immediately disregarded.
NG+ has the Big Swell story content it's not a normal NG+. It's also part of a bigger dlc pack.
Re: No Expanded Royal or Golden Edition for Persona 3 Reload, Atlus Promises
Portable additions are irrelevant but FES is significant and they will do a revised edition with this in it eventually.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Suicide Squad Swings Past Persona 3 Reload for Number One Debut
People are ignoring the lack of competition for the spot. GotG was a great game so I'm glad it did a lot better on debut
Re: Legendary Tales Is a Spellbinding Multiplayer RPG for PSVR2
They lost me at multiplayer but until then I was interested!
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Confirms Deliciously Detailed Photo Mode
It took a while for photo mode to grow on me but I love it now. I love looking back on an album after playing a game or sometime in future.
My LAD Infinite Wealth camera roll is hilarious.
Re: Until Dawn PS5, PC Will Boast Fresh Locations and an All-New Camera
I actually prefer the fixed camera. I think games in the horror genre benefits from them. Faster paced games like Dead Space are better with the camera they have.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2024 Announced
It's a 0/10 for me. I won't jump just because something is a Soulslike. I see not everyone who played it thinks it's that great.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 Out Now on PS5, Includes Some Vehicle Customisation
It's funny how there are still so many relevant bugs in this game a couple of years after release.
Re: Hands On: Suicide Squad Takes a Lot of Getting Used to, and It May Not Be Worth It
Well we know this isn't a Rocksteady game because the people that made the Arkham games are gone.
Re: Persona 3 Reload (PS5) - A Stunning Remake of a Classic RPG, Polished to Near Perfection
Waiting for the FES version.
Back in the day there was a small bit of controversy around how they summon their personas. I can see it being blown up 100x in today's climate.
Re: Suicide Squad Already Taken Offline as Glitch Completes the Game for Early Access Players
@Max_the_German Palworld and embarrassing are not either. You're the first person I've seen call it that.
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
I wonder if it's full of easily missable quests again
Re: Persona 3 Reload Really Is a Gorgeous Remake in First 50 Mins of Uncut Gameplay
Might hold out for the "Persona 3: You waited for a year so here is the real edition" Edition where they add FES content and another swimsuit
Re: The Day Before Dev Resurfaces, Blames Failure on 'Gold Rush' of Negative Takes

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is Now In Active Development
Black Flag is a fan favourite and felt like it could have contained even more content. They are remaking it for those reasons. Fans of the original games and fans of the reboot games both love Black Flag. It's very obvious that this remake will do well.
I'm excited for this one.
Re: Of Course Full Price Remake Persona 3 Reload Has a Full Spread of Day One DLC

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
I just need the PS2 trilogy. Don't need remakes, sequels, or spinoffs.
Re: Rocksteady Co-Founders Form New Studio Called Hundred Star Games
Great news but this doesn't always work out as well as you'd hope. Look at Callisto Protocol. Still hoping they succeed and we get a Callisto sequel we can be happy with.
Re: Create Realistically-Furred Characters in Dragon's Dogma 2's Complex Creator
Not a fan of beast races in anything. Even less so in DD. It had just the right mix of fantasy without them.
Re: Suicide Squad Teases Major Post-Launch Support, 'Hundreds' of Build Combinations
Hundreds of builds for 4 boring characters. Glad GotG avoided this nonsense. Might just play that game again soon.
Re: Fake Mobile Game Ads Take Centre Stage in New PS5, PS4 Release
I love the name at least. Has that 'parry this you filthy casual' feel to it.
Re: PS Stars Retroactively Rewarding Lost PS5, PS4 Loyalty Points
I got all points automatically when the central issue was fixed, but not LAD Gaiden which I opened a support chat about before the fix. They eventually added the points for that game and sent an email as well to confirm.

Re: Alan Wake Set for Dead by Daylight, More Info Tomorrow
@zhoont the VA for Leon is the former vocalist for a metal band I listen to a lot so for me that was a great consolation.

Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
@Bamila I see you've never played Midnight Suns due to your complete lack of knowledge on the game.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
This has the stink of 'original dev team is gone'
Re: Metal Gear Solid Remake Hopes Kept Alive by New Report
Should have remade MG and MG2 after V while the story was fresh. Then a remake of MGS with Hayter as Snake and Kiefer as Big Boss.

Now that you mention it, I also didn't get points for LAD Gaiden. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise!

Re: PlayStation Reveals Most Played Games of 2023 by Region, Is Basically a Waste of Time
The games that top are easy to play and have infinite loops. So no surprise there.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PS5, PS4 Is Pokémon As Well Now
My hype builds with every announcement.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Will Add a Pinch of Roguelite Fun to Its PS5, PS4 Campaign

Re: Mini Review: The Lord of the Rings: Return To Moria (PS5) - Survival Adventure Not Worth Treasuring
The janky mods for the Mount & Blade series are better than the last few official LOTR games.
