Shhh guys, let’s not complain too much or they’ll give the rebranding job to the guy who penned some of their game titles.

Totally deserved! It’s such a fun game to play!

Stellar Blade performing better than Bayo 3 is a testament of how much Sony missed out not picking up Bayonetta 2 publishing rights. It’s a series that would thrive much more on PS/Xbox than Nintendo.

I can manage to deal with this particular loss.

I kind of got into Aki but after diamond she is hard to win with. Mostly bad matchups. Hope she gets some buff

Errr..:this was always obvious, how could one even think this game has been censored? There are tons of ridiculously skimpy outfit much more revealing than the two “censored” ones.

@get2sammyb I don’t understand where this is coming from, it feels like we had 1 Horizon game for every 12 Cod and Mario themed games 😁 I am hopeful to play Horizon 3 before 2028 :/ FW has been one of my PS5 era highlights with Rebirth and Returnal

@ChrisDeku I feel you, that is a completely alternate reality 🤣 Mario kart remaster is the best seller of an interminable list of rehashed games, remasters, “remakes”, Wii U and PS3 ports

^ yeah if we have to count the spin offs as well, we have been receiving one game a year for a while.

Also I need some kind of change in the next main episode, the rigid nature of the gameplay loop has kind of worn me out.

It could be something as simple as not attending high school during the day and exploring adult life…I am sure being a salary man or office lady has plenty of hardships.

Persona is actually one of the few IPs I have clear ideas about things they could implement that would make everybody happy without turning the franchise upside down, like multiple main characters (with different age, occupation, gender, social class) that lead to different introductions (think Dragon Age Origin) and perspective to the story. Or daily-life boons for each arcana - let’s says you can manipulate people with extra dialogue choices if you are holding a persona of the devil arcana, chariot gives you a boost in sports/mini-games, lovers let you get more charisma points from stat boosting activities, moon gives you a perk in night time activities, magician lets you see secret doors, strength has no perks but its personae are really strong in combat and so on…

Yay! Very good news.
Now please make my dream of Darkstalkers’ return a reality. Or my pipe dream of Sega vs Capcom.

I mean no offense to Xbox fans (play wherever it makes you happy!) but can we do some black magic and swap Xbox with SEGA back again? 🥲 They are working on reviving so many dormant IPs and I would buy a console just for Sega/Atlus stuff, let alone third party support.

I quiet like the Dragon age series a lot and Inquisition in particular but we have to take into account that we are all playing this after BG3 >_<

As long as we are playing great games, do we really care if they are first or third party? I struggle to think of a first party title that I would enjoy as much as Stellar Blade or Rebirth. A fulll Astrobot game, maybe

And this causes less of a controversy than the HD2 PSN requirement, of course

@REALAIS As you can read in my comment, l agree that selling and then making the game impossible to play in a lot of countries was incredibly stupid and that’s why this decision is the only logic one they could take.

@ShogunRok seconded!
I am happy they reverted the situation because it didn’t have any sense to delist the game in countries that have no access to psn, just don’t sell it there in the first place. Players from the remaining countries (95% or so, I’d imagine) could really benefit to learn to read before buying 🙃

PlayStation’s strength is its variety so more first party titles will be very welcome when they release.

As for me, none of PlayStation first party studios has the ability to produce something I would enjoy on the same level I enjoy Rebirth or Stellar Blade, so it’s definitely working!

@Pixipantalon Thank you, will indeed try! I am also a native French speaker (my mother is French, my dad is Italian) and I thought the French dub was alright! Italian one has more striking Adam and Lilith!

It’s a 9 for me! It is so much fun and Eve is adorably sweet. Maybe not as challenging as I hoped it would be, as it gets a lot easier as you get new abilities and equip, but that is my main gripe. The Italian dub is significantly better than the English one, so I switched to it. Will try Korean for NG+

TMI Akihiro, TMI 😝

Absolutely appreciated the DLC for this game: Kairos gate in particular is really addicting stuff! While I vastly prefer the approach that SE had in Rebirth, XVI can be a very intense game.

@shonenjump86 just did that! Surprised by how easy it was!

@Deljo it’s not really what is happening, as you can see from the poll results. It’s more like Microsoft published studios “begging” to have an audience that justify their development (not to mention acquisition) costs.

The game discourse since the beginning of the year has been heavily centered around PlayStation exclusives anyways (Rebirth, Helldivers, Stellar Blade…) 🤷🏼‍♀️

The designs are so cool. Looking forward to photo mode so we can have some nice shots of Eve’s goofy advertising-like poses when she picks them up.

The likely follow up could have better chances to strike a deal with soda companies.

Stellar Blade is providing me with quality no frills-gaming (much needed) with a side dish of suggestions on how to use the ignore button more often 😂

Ok, now that the edgelords are pleased can I have Laura for season 2 Capcom? Please!🙏🏻

Akuma is always playing hard to get @NxtDoc

Returnal was the best game experience I had on PS5 till Rebirth dropped

@Nepp67 I see

Completed the NG+ skipping the prologue but luckily this didn’t happen.
It’s good they are advising and informing players, less cool they found this almost one year after the release of the game.

@Elitepatriot if it can be of any help, it’s more like playing god of war on the hardest difficulty settings than a souls-like, even though it has the bonfire mechanic and some other element taken from the genre. The demo really makes it seem harder than it is, once you start piling the abilities and equips you can make the game forgiving.

@JohntheRaptor I agree. Eve might not be in the same class as Bayonetta in terms of charisma but I like her more than 2B…Nier automata is a good game but she’s not really what makes the game stand out.

Playing it with my husband as the first game we actually play together (and I mean sharing the same playthrough) since Elden Ring! It’s lovely.
Nothing too innovative but it hits that sweet spot between playing a souls-like and god of war on hard. Having a blast so far

“Meeting players where they actually buy games.”

I would have bought Hi-fi rush in this sale if Stellar Balde hadn’t come out.

I am so ready! It feels like we’ve been waiting forever

@Northern_munkey will definitely give it a try this weekend

For all the annoying new trends in games, I must say I like the “roguelite dlc” one.
GOW Valhalla was awesome and FF16’s not bad either.
There’s a copy of this game in my house, still sealed…

It looks really good but it also looks more of the same and I am growing extremely allergic to formulaic games. Could end up being my GOTY but also one of those game everybody loves but I find incredibly boring.

I did’t know I needed a hobbit life simulator but I do. These animations are quite something though 🙂‍↕️

Look like a fighting game’s patch notes hahaha!

@Cloud39472 hugs. We can leave it behind 😂

But will it be more difficult than Aerith randomly having to face those 3 pyros in the Corel fighting pitt? (thank you, elemental materia)

Jokes aside, really looking forward to this, I greatly enjoy 16’s combat.

Yeah, I had a couple of conversations with younger passengers and went away impressed by how much they liked Ff16. It was their first FF, though.

Guys, it was a fun mini-game, c’mon.

No but seriously, that was absolutely terrible! I was staring at the screen like I needed to interpret it as some kind of convoluted homeric translation. So glad it’s been fixed.

@Mikey856 it has always been smooth frame-rate wise, a very stable 60fps, nothing like FFXVI. The game used to get kind of blurry in performance mode (mind you, it took me some time and sitting very close to the tv to notice what many were saying) - now they have introduced a sharp performance mode that addresses this but I would recommend the graphic mode anyway, it looks a lot better (especially the lighting) and flat out incredible at times.

@Carck Amen to that, so worth it!

Unintentional wall of text 🥲

@Martijn87 kind of 😂 but metacritic says hello and it will be a goty contender at the end of the year while safe cash grabs like P3R will be forgotten (unless they manage to somehow irritate the fanbase even more with a “Royal” kind of edition).

I liked Rebirth a lot but it was objectively a very good game, it’s insane how much care they put into it

I wish stellar blade a lot of success and will be there day 1 anyway but …what a strange comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s been a crazy start of the year and I played like 1/3 of what I wanted to.

My two cents: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been a dreamlike experience and I still cannot believe its scope and how meticulously crafted it is.

I, like many, cannot stop playing Balatro and need help.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is adventurous and random and has an opaque quality that makes it incredibly charming.

Persona 3 Reload is unimaginative, incomplete, overpriced and unnecessary. Go with the remaster of P3P! Or at least wait for a sale.

Looking forward to playing Unicorn Overlord and Stellar blade.

I am not in a hurry just make it good 👍🏻

New Astrobot > every other PS exclusive

Quit playing games with my heart

Looks dangerously like something I would like more than I would care to admit 🫣

Astrobot’s big adventure 🫀

@UltimateOtaku91 yeah I feel like I want to know where we are headed and what is cooking on PlayStation’s grill even if it’s way in the future

Doubtly!

I love how this ends up on Triple Click’s prediction every year and never materializes

That’s great news and I look forward to getting this! I liked all their games so far but I haven’t LOVED one, this might be it as the demo had its hooks in me.

My personal fave so far is Muramasa Rebirh, a game I wish would see a modern console port
