Sooner or later I will play this darn game. Must be doing something good to piss off all the alt-righters šŸ˜› I found the first one a very emotional but very basic game but maybe the gameplay will be more surprising in the sequel!

@GamingFan4Lyf gotta say that in a generation of endless fill price Nintendo remasters and ports because they couldnā€™t even manage to maintain the same store system for 2 consoles, the many fee updates and the few 10$ ones are nothing but a good thing šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Re: SEGA Heaps Praise on Atlus Following Strong Metaphor: ReFantazio Sales

Nei

My initial enthusiasm for the Metaphor slowly simmered down and I had to force myself to finish it. The performance issues and general lack of visual charm of the game didn't help but the real "problems" for me lied on a deeper level.

After being a great supporter of Atlus for years, I find myself kind of over their RPGS. I thought about it and what is getting to me is that the structural elements of their products are far too evident and predictable and I feel like I am going through the motions and repeating a game loop that I can anticipate a little bit to well and hinders any sense of adventure.

There are elements of Metaphor that I commend and the story is somehow entertaining but I hope they can come up with gameplay ideas and structures that feel a little more daring and adventurous and less "I have done my homework" in the coming years.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Third Entry 'Won't Cheat' with the Airship

The way the ā€œairshipā€ was implemented in XV was technically impressive, interesting and weird (like the whole game tbh) so I am curious to see what theyā€™ll do.

This team has my complete trust. I liked Remake and with Intergrade I started to think they really knew what they were doing. With Rebirth they just gave us what I consider the best modern JRPG I played. Finger crossed šŸ¤žšŸ» for goty awards season.

Re: Review: PS5 Pro - An Impressive Yet Inconsistent Upgrade

Nei

I am honestly loving it and having a blast playing on it but itā€™s definitely not a product everyone will enjoyā€¦you should know yourself (and the technology around you!) and decide! I find it much more noticeable than last genā€™s upgrade, game-changing at times, and this was a no brainer for me. I wish the Switch got a similar upgrade 4-5 years ago.

Yeah, the stellar blade ost is really good but I can see why it's not being selected over fully orchestrated scores @bahamuht

Metaphor Re: Fantazio didn't make the time cut but also is a bit of a mixed bag imho: it really wowed me at first and has some killer tracks (that battle theme!) but also has some pretty generic/not so special tracks that water down the experience.

FFVII Rebirth has insane quality and quantity but maybe wasn't considered because of its remake status or reuse of pre written music?

Still...the list is so unsatisfying.

Re: PS5 Pro Has a Remarkable Impact on Unpatched Games

May this save me from having to play Metaphor in short sessions because something about it (most probably the effects combined with the uneven frame rate) makes me nauseous?

I am impressed this is just by raw, unoptimized hardware power but this also solidifies my opinion they could do a much better job optimizing the game

@truerbluer you forgot Stellar Blade and others but yes if I had to get one single piece of gaming hardware, Iā€™d say Ps5 is the best choice atm as you pretty much get everything without having to wait years for ports! And I say this as someone who plays on PC a lot -

@LavenderShroud yeah, I mean - give me a SNES with Super Metroid or whatever can play PSO and I am good for life but in terms of latest meaningful releases the PS4 hasnā€™t got us covered

Re: Sony Says the Best Time to Get a PS5 Is Now

@riceNpea I mean, just talking about recent-ish releases but you canā€™t play Astro bot, Stellar Blade, Baldurā€™s Gate 3 or FFVII Rebirth. I am sorry but PS4 is utterly useless atm @Dr_Rocanlover

Re: Sony Adopting 'Show Don't Tell' Strategy with PS5

Nei

Itā€™s been an insane year for PS, tbh, and a PlayStation dominated year by any measure. That said, I wouldnā€™t mind having one year- even 18 months of hype before a game releases. I feel like we might be in for a few surprises in the second half of the PS5 life, though.
