Seems bad taste isn't subjective after all xD

@themightyant: Thanks for the explanations^^ I'm not opposed to long games, I play all the longest JRPGs (DQ11, the Persona and Trails-series, most recently Metaphor, etc.). What I don't like is the feeling of wasting time, when I'm only fetch-questing or gathering the same materials over and over again.
In that sense I don't think Genshin would be too bad. I'll try to get to it some day^^

Now we know why the PS3 emulation is taking so long. They want to integrate PSSR into it with the PS6 and make all the games look like Horizon xD
kidding aside, looking forward to this feature if it's still available on the next gen console (:

I was a little surprised when I randomly decided to watch the overview trailer and saw combat in it xD might look into it deeper some time later when it's out, but right now my plate is already very full^^

@themightyant: what is it, that took so much time for you anyway? Leveling all the chars? Gathering materials? I'm sure I would stick with 3-5 so that at least would not be an issue for me. Only thing bothering me from when I played it are the restrictions for leveling up.

Tried out all 3 and in the end chose Warrior, but if I like the game enough by the end of it I might start another run with the mage in a couple years^^

Wow, I play around 2000 hours a year, so I would have missed all the games that came out in the last 5+ years, if I played Genshin Impact? I'd like to give it a try one day, but I don't think I'll go over 100h with it xD my conscience woudn't let me..
maybe I'll watch some YT videos with all the main story parts. That would be the most appealing part for me anyway..

It's good this happened so early. It was a big waste, but they can really analyse this and avoid future failures. Not that it matters to me, I don't own Sony stock or something xD
I WOULD like them to keep existing in a strong position though as it's my preferred console manufacturer^^

I almost play exclusively second and third party games, so this does nothing to me. Only budding franchise that interests me currently is the Ghost-one.

Funny how much stock people put in other opinions. I'm about 5 hours into the game right now and there is some really stupid stuff in so far, but nothing world-shaking in my opinion. If it gets too much I'll jump to the next game on my list^^

Well MY future is about 4 years from now with ps6^^

@LuXifer: I don't think the first two are bad. In fact it was Cold Steel 2 that made me into a fan. Maybe just try them out and see for yourself if you vibe with em or not (:

I might give this a shot actually. Still looking for a 4x game, that vibes with me. So far I only like Tropico and thats not exactly that^^

If GamePass numbers were good, they would shout em from the rooftops. That they don't is in itself a clear message.

I probably won't replay much PS4 games in the next couple years. There is too much new stuff to play these days. By the time PS6 comes out I assume not only will we have a pretty good read on the improovements, they'll probably be more solid too. That'll be my time to test it all out^^

So far I only like the music, rest I'll see when the game comes out.

Well I'm gonna play Trails through Daybreak 2 xP

@ShogunRok This sums up Ubisoft perfectly right now xD

Wow, I am more surprised to see that this wasn't the case from the start. Not that I ever really looked at them.

I'd lay them all off! There are thousands of people around that WANT to work and lost their job anyway xD
If things just were that simple

I remember a time when we just moved on if a game wasn't fun anymore. Now there seem to be whole campaigns to change slight things about them -.-'

It all depends where you're looking at. I think gaming is as creative as it's ever been. But you have to go to the indies for that.
One of the reasons I decided to skip PS5 Pro is that I find myself playing a lot of 2D style indie games^^

@get2sammyb I just don't think early access is the new "release date" or "day 1" and shouldn't be viewed as that. By that logic wouldn't day 1 be the review codes YouTubers and game websites get? And by extension wouldn't the games than be at its cheapest (free) xD
Don't mean to be nitpicky, I guess the term "day 1" just has a different meaning depending on who you're asking. I also don't see it used in official announcements.

Personally I find the article a little misleading. There is no way to confirm people are buying the more expensive edition because of early access or all the other included stuff. Also we can't talk about prices going up just because of a mostly 3 day difference.
On the other hand there are plenty of games that are discounted before they even come out. I see no one complaining about that.
I for one am never so desperate to shell out more cash just to play a mostly inferior game earlier, quite the opposite in fact. If history thaught us anything, it's smarter to wait a month or two for patches and skip all the potential headaches of buggyness^^
But to each his own I guess. The market will always be on the edge of what is acceptable for customers. But there will almost always be ways to circumvent it or lessen the blow to the wallet.

@themightyant Not that it really matters to me, but it's hard even for people working at Sony to predict right now. Sony can and will adjust their plans depending on the market as they always do, but if nothing major happens, I still think the PS6 will release in 4+ years (meaning 2028 or later to be clear).

@Kalime78 Wow, you sound quite confident. However I'll stick with my 4 year speculation. I see no reason for Sony to react to a new console from Microsoft anymore and Sony never released a new system after 6 years.
I wouldn't mind it though, just saying 2 years sounds unrealistic to me^^
No matter when the next PS comes I'll be there anyway

Wow, is it allowed to be this happy? Only bangers to play and my wishlist is also bursting with exciting games as well as couple thing on my backlog and some I wanna play "new game+" style. Now THIS on top of all that!
I think I'll spend my whole vacation for games this time xD

I cancelled my pre order of the pro because I only have 2-3 games on the horizon that would actually benefit from it. I'm sure I'll play these games again in a couple years anyway and when I do, the PS6 should be out.
But maybe I'll change my mind, PS6 is still 4+ years away.

I wonder if I'll beat Metaphor before the timer on the demo runs out. I like to take my games one at a time. So far 40 hours in xD

not watching the trailer as I know I'll buy this day one. Just want to express my disapointment for the censoring. I don't think this game will benefit from an E rating, if that's why they did it.

@ShogunRok: That's great^^ Thanks for the quick reply!

@ShogunRok : Could you tell me, do I loose any free days left if I continue the main story (ex. complete the next dungeon, etc.)?

So now they pleased all 10 arachnophobia people. What about us billions of people who LIKE spiders^^ what about SpiderMAN??! xD

YES, that's the only thing I wanted to know about this game. I thought as much after playing the demo, but good to know for sure.
The calender system in Persona is the only reason I never wanna replay it.

Nice review. Now I'm sure I'll be buying this at some point in the future. I wonder if I can wait until PS6 or a patch with full 2 Player Versus support across all the maps. That would be ideal..

The game's not even out yet. I wouldnt complain until after the now sadly traditional "day 1 patch".

I prefer the clean UI of a Dragon Quest Game but to each his own^^

Sounds quite distopian. I'm glad my parents didn't have that kind of control over me and I would never use that on my children. I think we can talk that sh it out.

They'll surely sell a few more copies when the game gets a discount, haha xD

That sounds easy to fix. Just make the world smaller and cut out the most repetitive stuff.

It's not the last bastion, but little sad nonetheless.

I am sure if people had not complained, this would not have been a "bug" or an "error".

I'm sure they would LIKE to remove the black man, but that would take them a lot of money and at least a year (if not 2).

Haven't encountered it so far, but YES this is bad. I was lingering on the homescreen before, with this addition I won't.

That makes me a happy customer. Hopefully it will also not be sold out in 5 minutes when preorders go up on Amazon.

I'd say it IS a big deal. Creativity is being hampered by fear of back-lash and social expectations. That is a bad direction we're going in (and have been for quite a while of course).

I don't think anything changed. People always say stuff they don't really mean. Just look at call of duty

Hmm, I'm glad I held off so far. Game's getting better the later I play it xD
This goes for a lot of other games too of course, but I don't typically like action heavy games, so I don't wanna play this more than once. Waiting until they are done with everything.

This just means there will be new terms of service to agree to before consumers can continue using the store. Nothing to write news about in my opinion.

Maybe I'd play it if they replaced the protag with Eve and some skimpy outfits xD
