Finishing my CP2077 platinum then Phantom Liberty and then I have to decide between this, Persona 3, and Granblue. Spoiled for choices but I have no idea where to go with them and Rebirth right around the corner. GAHHH!

@AFCC I was disappointed they didn’t go with DS2: Princess Beach

@bozz thanks for saying this. I guarantee a vast majority of the people complaining about this rarely, if ever, touch new game plus and just want to take a stance on whatever the new consumer outrage is. Big eye roller from me

@OtsutsukiBoruto @Ninjadeath2023 only 12 percent of players even finished the main story of yakuza 7 on PS5. The game is really long and jam packed with side content, as is the sequel. It’s a full game getting a full review. People are welcome to condemn the handling of the paywall for new game plus but it’s not going to impact most people’s experience and it doesn’t factor into the quality of the game.

Omg that headline got me hyped!!! Mannnn between this Granblue and Persona 3 I truly have no idea which direction to go in. Brutal decisions but happy to have an amazing group of games to choose from

I do not play online so I just can't justify shelling out full price for fighting games on release with the limited amount of time I end up spending on them. I did it with Tekken 7 and it was one of my rare regretful purchases so I will check this out when it hits the $20-30 range, awesome as it may be

looks like they just made it darker to me lol. i don't really have the eye for graphical subtlety though

well deserved! this game was awesome and hit the perfect combination of good gameplay and nostalgia for millions. congrats to Avalanche

@Mephisto2869 it reminded me of a post apocalyptic Hallmark movie

got it downloaded to dive in after work can't wait to check it out

Waiting for reviews on this but I’m cautiously optimistic. Love the Akira art style and world building. Looks cool in UE5 too

I already finished both of the top games but those are good additions. I haven't gotten around to Plague Tale yet from essential and I'm super into Cyberpunk right now so I don't mind having a down month on Extra

@GuttyYZ crazy that our experiences have differed that much, that sounds like the state it was in closer to launch. sorry to hear it

@GuttyYZ are you playing on PS5? I am about 25 hours in on this playthrough and have had very few bugs, the only one I can think of was a Cyberpsycho getting stuck on top of a car so it made it really easy to finish them off. Have not had any of the problems you mention other than the occasional animation glitch

Like a dragon was excellent and got me into turn based combat. Cannot wait to play this

This game has so many issues that really should not have been there but it was amazing at times. My main complaint outside of the terrible side quests and some of the PS2 level animation is it was just so unbelievably easy. Even playing FF mode for the platinum I think I died like 3 times the entire playthrough, and I am by no means great at video games

This looks like it should cost 10 bucks

This looks awesome and capitalizes on all of my nostalgia. Tekken 4 was one of the first games I owned on PS2, amazing game. That being said I just cannot justify spending 70 bucks on a fighting game. I don't play online and wouldn't really play locally with anyone so I don't think its worth it for just the campaign and the odd time I would throw it on for a round or two. The last full price fighting game I got was Tekken 7 and while I had fun with it it is still one of my most regrettable purchases based on the value I got out of it

looks cool but noticeably janky and the frame rate yikes. not a good sign when its this bad in a trailer

@Fiendish-Beaver it was a blast! nothing groundbreaking but just pure zombie bashing fun

1. Hogwarts Legacy
2. Resi 4 Remake
3. Spiderman 2
4. Like A Dragon Ishin
5. Dead Island 2
Honorable mentions BG3 and FF16 but I ranked based on enjoyment rather than pure quality

Basically the same games that have been on sale in every other recent PS store sale for the same discount. Pretty lame

@HonestHick thank you! not a bad idea at all

@Hundred_Hand_Slap I figured it might be discounted at some of the retailers like Target or Walmart but I guess we'll see. You are probably right though its very early

Any chance Spidey 2 goes on sale this early? I have not grabbed it yet and would love to get it for maybe 50 bucks

@Sakai its six days, did you want them to say “wayyyyyy longer”?

I really liked Tales of Arise but it already felt soooo long I don't think I would ever go back for an additional time sink

I just did not love BG3 as much as everyone else especially in terms of story or gameplay/combat. It was a really good game but not as legendary as I expected. Cleary in the very deep minority but my top contenders are RE4 remake and Hogwarts Legacy

Man it is wild how much the quality of monthly games has dropped since they announced the price increase. Makes no sense

Looking forward to the next delay

@Sil_Am so dramatic

@Sil_Am a review of a game is about the experience itself, it has nothing to do with physical media. taking points away for something external to the gaming experience makes absolutely no sense

@gipsojo @Constable_What this is not meant as an insult to either of you but why would you complete two full playthroughs of a game you hated?

@Constable_What I definitely agree with this as a negative, although it does not ruin the game for me or make me hate it, it can definitely be frustrating. I am having a lot of fun with it but admittedly have not played as much as you so hopefully the fun continues

@KundaliniRising333 playing now and having a great time, honestly the biggest frame drops I've seen are in cutscenes rather than gameplay. some of them were pretty bad but again not impacting the actual gameplay experience much at all. I am loving the game just took down the first major boss and it was way harder than I expected based on reviews. Took me a bunch of tries and felt great to overcome the challenge. Edit: the quality mode has bad performance but most people want 60fps for a game like this anyway I would assume-visuals still look great in performance

Looks awesome to me I'm getting it. Negatives are nothing too disappointing or serious imo

@Boxmonkey there has been a ton of gameplay released probably upwards of an hour

@J2theEzzo @Powerplay94 I definitely have this complaint about many souls type games but it doesn't really seem to be the case to me with this one, the "floatiness" looks more applicable to the dodging and running but there actually looks like a decent weight and impact in the combat/hits to me. maybe I am missing something though

I definitely want a PS5 version but it should be free as it the changes will be extremely minimal. I know Part 1 took a lot of heat but it was at least a pretty extensive remake (in my opinion). There is no way the distinction will be even close to that here

I am excited for it, somewhere in between the first and second choice. I will get it day one if Lords of the Fallen does not review particularly well, but man that games looks excellent and will take precedence if I see some 8-9/10s

I'm hearing amazing things about this game, I probably won't get it for a while but I am keeping it in mind once things slow down a bit

Ah man I just beat Callisto last month. Oh well. It’s a decent enough game worth a playthrough if you don’t have much else to play right now

My number one also! Glad the PS community recognizes the brilliance

Looks fantastic

@thefourfoldroot1 don't dig any deeper than that, there's nothing to find!

Really excited about the change in location for 8, that is going to be just the right change to keep things interesting. I love Ichi and am so glad he is back, and love the new combat so this is day one no matter what! So tough though because Persona 3 is just a few days later and FF7R about a month later. What a start to the year

Very close to a 10 for sure. I am between a 9 and 10 at the moment just because the story has not totally wowed me, and I feel the created character suffers from not having much of a personality. I still have a long way to go though so I may be strongly one way or another by the time I finish. Edit: definitely some weird bugs for me too but that will not have much baring on my score, they are not enough to detract much from the experience

@MagisterMagi oh wow! maybe I am way off base then and the concept just did not appeal to anyone

I feel like they did not do enough to promote this game, I remember seeing the initial trailer at an event (maybe SOP?) and then nothing for a very long time, where I did not even know it was coming out until I looked on the store and saw it was already released. I can't speak to the quality but it does look like a somewhat unique take on an FPS so I feel a lot of it came down to a failure in marketing

Lol right after the price increase they drop this stinker of a month. No self awareness
