I really didn't like this game the first few times I played it, but I know later on it my 100 or so hour playtime I started to really enjoy/appreciate it. I don't think I'd pickup a remaster though. Demon's Souls is still my favorite in the series (followed closely by Bloodborne)
I still never played Resistance 3 I think it had come out along a lot of other really solid games, so it was always just a game I said I buy later and never did... I really enjoyed 2 and the Vita one though
The game install is only 16gb, but you're forgetting that you will need MUCH more space for this game... how else are you going to save all those awesome gameplay clips and cool screenshots?
@Shuebacca It would be nice if they'd just stop giving me so many Civic Type Rs.... I think I'm up to double digits on that one. I did get an F40 last night though!
@WanderingBullet I NEED IT! I'm still not sure if I'll get the CE or digital copy though. I think it will depend on the size/quality of the statue. I have the Last Guardian statue, but it ended up being way too big for my desk at work.
My wife recently started playing Overcooked a lot.... that game is FAR too stressful for me lol. Some of those 3 star requirements are hella strict.
It was hard reading a best coop games list without seeing Borderlands or Diablo 3. I guess if you added those, people would complain that they aren't PS4 games, but PS3 games
@Shuebacca I miss it too, but the system was pretty silly. Push X for silly exhaust sound! The only thing I don't like about the new system is using Mileage points instead of money. The UI for it is also pretty boring.
The track experience mode is what 100% sells this as the best GT for me. I think I'm only around 50% but DANG is it satisfying to finally get golds and finally learn the tracks rather than relying on on the guide (a crutch I had a hard time ditching).
A couple strong objections, but still a great list. What a time to be a gamer! Shame Monster Hunter is going to spoil us all rotten I'm ready for that 11/10 score.
My top 10 from best to 'worst': Persona 5, The Last Guaridan, NeiR Automata, FFXIV, EDF 4.1, Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi, Warframe, Bloodborne, Titanfall 2, Diablo 3.
This list also reminds me that I must be the only person who thinks Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, and Journey were just good, not great.....
@leucocyte I guess it goes back to my original issue then. I didn't even hear about this game until it was already out (and I heard about it via people saying it's dead already). I follow a good few sources online, but I don't remember seeing anything about a beta (or even a trailer).
It still looks like a really really fun game.... maybe it will go F2P or something.
This has been one of my favorite VR titles recently. It controls very well, it's exciting, and has a decent challenge (if you're aiming for 3 stars). Personally, I haven't even done the last 4 missions and I'm well over 4 hours... maybe I'm just slow though.
My only real complaint is that the grenades seem overly picky when trying to throw them. I'll release what feels like a perfect throw for the thing to land in front of me and blow up my work space.
EDIT: Maybe there was a patch or something, but i've had absolutely 0 tracking issues with this game too. I'll still get some drift in titles like Farpoint and (occasionally) Skyrim VR, but this game seems spot on.
I had never heard ANYTHING about this game until it was already out.... the art style is right up my ally, but by the time I heard of it, it was already DOA.
No open BETA? No trial? The sad truth is if you're going to try and market a new IP that's a PvP only game, it needs to provide people the ability to try it for free.
@KingSandyRavage Again, this isn't a list of the top 10 successful or top 10 selling games of 2017. This is a list of Push Square's top 10 favorite games. I understand your point of view, but I don't agree with it. I'll leave it at that.
@KingSandyRavage Yes, I've had (and enjoyed) a McDonalds burger in the last year. I've also played (and enjoyed) CoD in the last year. Were either memorable experiences? No way.
You may not have liked RE7, that is perfectly fair. I didn't enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn all that much, but that doesn't change the opinions of the Push Square staff who created this list.
I think I put in around 200 hours into CoD BO3, but I certainly didn't enjoy 200 hours of CoD. I mostly played it to socialize with friends. I enjoyed that time playing with my friends, but I didn't enjoy a lot of that time playing CoD.
Now that I'm older and always busy with work or other projects, I certainly won't waste my time on a game like CoD. I only have a few precious hours of gaming a week... I'll use them on great experiences like Persona 5 or (imo) RE7. I value my time more than my $
@KingSandyRavage It's possible you value title length more than title quality in that situation. I would much rather have a very engaging 10-20 hours of game-play than 50-100 of mediocre gameplay. That Resident Evil analogy is perfect. I will forever remember my experience playing RE7 in VR, but I can't remember a single experience from any of the CoD games I play.
In terms of sales, those posts you are referring to are multiplatform and the UK only.
I really like @kyleforrester87 's McDonald's analogy.
@KingSandyRavage Sales don't really equate to quality. If you enjoy CoD, you'll enjoy whatever the latest CoD is. Activision has been releasing essentially the same game over and over. Many people are just exhausted with it. I would bet if they only released a new CoD every few years, the reaction to the brand would be very VERY different. The people buying CoD over and over are usually just the people who love CoD. Same goes for the 2K/Madden/FIFA series.. I know plenty of gamers who ONLY buy and play the 2k/Madden/FIFA series. This doesn't mean they are the best games though... just the best for that market.
In terms of raw sales (multiplatform, not sure where you got the data for CoD on PS4), Horizon Zero Dawn is the only game listed as both a top 10 game and a top 10 seller of 2017.
Target a finished product first please. At this point, I get the impression that the team has done as best they can and the game is what it is.... it won't be long until another more experienced studio comes along and releases a similar/more functional game. (Fortnite already did it, but I'm referring to something more similar to the style of PUBG)
Good list. Both Sonic games had really really good OST as well. I'd also say Gran Turismo Spor, but it shares so much with GT6 that it's cheating a little. Edit: Prey too! Game was a mess when I played it but danngggg was the OST amazing.
@Bobbytheb "They had to dumb down the monsters since this game is reaching a much wider user base than it did on the 3DS."
This is my worry with Worlds. I played each PlayStation title 200+ hours (each) until Monster Hunter 3. It was too easy and lacked too much content. I feel like the lower difficult/risk carried through most of the Nintendo releases as well. I'd hope this one is balanced more along the lines of Freedom Unite or maybe 3rd P. 3rd P was probably one of the more accessible titles without losing the risk/rewards at higher ranks.
I loved it! I would have played a lot more if it had a save option. I changed too many options that it was too tedious to restart the game over and over. I really wanted to to try and fight Rathalos in the third mission!
Also... not to be THAT GUY but I hope it's much more difficult in the final release. All 3 of those missions were far too easy for a PlayStation Monster Hunter game...
@JLPick Personally, it would be worth getting over Driveclub VR. Driveclub VR is a fairly subpar game. I would strongly recommend Dirt Rally VR or Gran Turismo Sport over DriveClub VR if you're looking for a racing game. Dirt Rally VR is tough as nails, but an amazing experience. GT Sport is an absolutely fantastic game, but the VR is limited to 1v1 cpu races.
Let's hope this isn't mislabeling a frame rate mode as a 60fps mode a la FFXV. Everyone got crazy expectations that it would be a 60fps mode when SE always called but frame rate mode. Big difference between unlocked frame rate and a locked 60fps for some gamers
I love that song. I can't say I'm all that excited for this game... but mostly because I'm waiting for reviews. I'm a bit worried it will be somewhat light on content compared to Dissida 012.
@Derpie1 Oh I'm sure. It was mostly a joke so I could call it FF One instead of FFXVI.
I'm sure they'll milk the FFXV world a bit more with at least a few more paid expansions or sequels. Even though FFXIII wasn't well received, they still made two sequels due to how long/expensive it was to build the world/characters in XIII. I'm sure we'll see the same in FFXV.
Crazy but it makes sense. VR Pricing and library finally makes sense (imo) to buy in. Also good to see GT Sport up there. Given PSVRs recent success, I hope PD takes notice and updates the VR portion of the game
Great news! I'm still loving the game. My newest complaint is the VR stuff though. It's a lot of fun, but no calibration, no rewards, and no difficulty make it some what pointless
Fishing was easily my least favorite part of FFXV (and pretty much the only trophy preventing my plat). Even with VR, it's probably the only FF 'game' not for me....

Re: Don't Expect to Unlock Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's Platinum Trophy
They should add timed conditions these as well... Win 30 matches without taking damage or play 10 online. Win 300 matches or play online for 20 hours.
Either way, as long as the community (and game) is solid, it doesn't seem THAT terrible for a 'fighting' game.
