Makes sense. XVI and 7Reb are out now and the XIV expansion is out in june. They got nothing else coming, so it's KH's turn.
They said they wanted to work on getting these faster cause KH3 took so long after 2.
@DennisReynolds Not necessarily, but there is a lot of negativity around it which makes me think it likely won't.
Also, it's resources compete with devil may cry which sold 7.8m copies.
So... i don't think the future of DD looks so rosy until DD2 gets to the numbers of it's predecessor and DMCV.
But, as you say, the original didn't sell so fast, it was a slow burn. We'll see how this does. I think that is what capcom is happy about for now. It's started ahead but the tail sales will determine the future of this one.
I hope the game is awesome. Konami denied us the future of the great Suikoden series as they did with their other beloved IP. Silent hill, metal gear and castlevania are in the same boat. Terrible management.
Anyways, hope this is a banger and creates a sucessor series to Suikoden.
I don't know. But i have been wondering about giving the first one a try given it's like 5 euros.
But i'm not sure it's for me. I find overly hard games to be a waste of my time and that is the impression i got from early reviews of the game.
That's good to know... but i still hate the story told in the show wasn't on a fallout 5 instead. It has major revelations for the whole series and many won't even know about them.
Like... why were the bombs dropped? Who dropped them and why?
These are very core pieces of story for the franchise and to see them dropped in a tv show is sad.
@DrVenture69 That is true. If you play something long enough, your brain will get used to it.
I was playing monster hunter world and the game is slow and i played for many hours and wouldn't notice anymore. Once i went to play a regular action game everything seemed way too fast and i had to get used to it again.
Like seriously... slow games are not good for the head and low fps isn't either.
With that said... the fps in ffxvi is fine. People exaggerate. I never even noticed an issue. If it's like sub 30fps it's a problem though.
@Martijn87 To be fair i have not looked enough into this game to know how it's structured. But thought i'd warn as a persona fan that tried other SMT games that ended up feeling very different. Even persona 5 strikers feels off cause it's missing the life sim part.
But yes, i imagine this one would be more like a tales or star ocean but with the Atlus feel.
@Nepp67 That is also a statement you can't make. Sorry, don't mean to antagonise you but that is just what a minority of vocal players is saying. The companies have the actual metrics.
Also, my position was to have difficulty levels, not to just have easy. I know FFXVI has difficulty levels. Dunno about DD2.
@Martijn87 Be careful. SMT and even Soul hackers are persona like. But they feel very different. The life sim and story make persona very engaging. Without it, the games feel very different. More dungeon crawler like.
@Nepp67 That is not a call you can make for every player. Some people like to roflstomp enemies and feel powerful with increased stats and are happy enjoying the story.
But, more importantly different players have different skill levels. It's impossible to make one size fits all. Which is why it's best to start easy and have difficulty options for those wanting a bigger challenge.
I don't think that is difficult at all. Nier Automata was a more boring Nier (gestalt). The story was not at all very different nor the save shannenigans and the world. I guess some robotic rear end made it more appealing for the kiddies that missed out on the first one.
Ok finished watching.
I start to think they may indeed retcon new vegas. But new vegas itself, the location and it's leader are very much re-confirmed.
I do wish this story was in the games. It's kind of too important for a tv show. Unless the TV show is It's own universe.
I watched the first episode and it was ok. But, it's not the same. That vault story would've fit a game much better. I found the other stories less interesting. I will probably watch more and see how it develops.
I mean... it is likely. Capcom tends to do things like that and i actually like it. For example monster hunter always gets an expansion now (though not stories, annoyingly enough). I always liked the expansion model and it's much better than bite sized dlc.
I would say this poll was loaded if the point was to make that statement.
Of course everyone prefers a game that performs well. It isn't news.
It's like polling. Do you like if your game has good graphics? There is no excuse not to, it should be the target, i prefer good graphics but it's not a deal breaker, i don't care, no. What are these options? 🤣 Most of these options are yes or not important.
More interesting would be: How important do you feel 60fps is for you?
Scale of 1 to 5 on matter of importance from very important to not important at all.
What about 30fps?
What about a locked stable fps?

Re: Guilty Gear Strive's Slayer Somehow Looks Cooler Than Ever Before, Out in May
Yeah... that took so long i lost interest in the game. 😅
Re: Hands On: Fallout 4 Next-Gen Runs Great on PS5, But Some Old Problems Persist
Yeah... the problem persists that it's still a glorified base building game. 😂
But the reduction in load times is the best feature imo.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Success Means Capcom Shareholders Get a Bump
Does it look bright? It's still nowhere close to outselling the first entry.
I guess we will see the tail it will have.
Re: Video: Does Fallout 4 Look Better on PS5?
What about load times?
Graphically it looks identical, but it does seem slightly smoother on ps5.
Re: PlayStation Studios: All Sony First-Party Developers and What They're Working On
So many studios and so few games.
Lot's of waste on dead on arrival live service games.
Re: Project Awakening Still Exists, Six Years After Its Stunning PS4 Reveal
Given how long it took cygames to release granblue relink... who knows when and if this will ever happen.
Re: Rumour: Watch Dogs Is Dead, and Legion Reportedly Killed It
I don't care tbh. This series was stained from it's inception with the false reveal.
Re: Ex-Psygnosis, WipEout, Skate Devs Announce New Studio Starlight Games
Can't wait for them to be bought and shutdown by the parent company again.
Sadly seems to be a cycle in UK game development.
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (PS5) - Stars Align for Classic JRPG Adventure
Will give it a go, but ain't got the time atm.
Will wait for a good deal on it. Hopefully it meets my expectations as a Suikoden fan.
Re: Sony Collaborating on SEGA's Golden Axe Animated Series
What a perfect opportunity to port revenge of death adder eh sega?
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle Sequel Will Move Forward, Despite Death of Creator
I hope the game is awesome. Konami denied us the future of the great Suikoden series as they did with their other beloved IP. Silent hill, metal gear and castlevania are in the same boat. Terrible management.

Re: Fallout 4 Sales Up 7,500% in Europe as Bethesda Series Dominates
There is a front page featurette with Fallout on the ps store. So it's not surprising.
I don't see the point of hyping up a microsoft IP though.
Would be nice if they released remasters of 3 and new vegas though.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide?
Very excited to go back to it and replay the game with all the changes and the season pass content.
But, i am too busy with other games atm.
Re: Fallout Will Officially Shoot a Second Season on Amazon Prime
That much was obvious from the ending. 😅

Re: A New Rayman Game Is Coming This Year, But Not in the Way Everyone Wants
@nomither6 Is that what you tell Mario and Sonic and their million sellers?
Re: A New Rayman Game Is Coming This Year, But Not in the Way Everyone Wants
Everyone wants more Rayman but they were also quick to want it's creator fired.
I don't know how it's gonna happen now.
Re: GTA Publisher Laying Off 5% of Workforce and Cancelling 'Several' Games
@__jamiie Yup. These cuts are not to save on costs, they are to increase profits.

Re: Stellar Blade Is a Better Game Than NieR: Automata, Yoko Taro Reckons
@ATaco That is a good point. I totally forgot. haha.
But yeah, kaine wasn't the main character.

Now they've done it. Shadow will be more popular than Sonic. 😂

Re: Interview: Final Fantasy 16's DLC Director on The Rising Tide, 16's Success, and What Makes a Great Expansion
I still want to know where the dlc slots in.
Re: New PS5 Pro Leak Points to Significant Graphics Push from Sony
This is nonsense. It's basically a ps6. It will create the same problems microsoft has with the S and the X.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Successfully Expanded the Series to New, Younger Players, Says Square Enix
I loved it, but can we try ATB again? Please? I really miss controlling a party of characters rather than just one.
Re: Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide DLC Is Designed to Be More Challenging
I thought the difficulty was perfect.
I don't get the fixation with very difficult games. That's what higher difficulties are for. Normal story playthrough should always be accessible.
Re: Fallout Beginner's Guide: Best Game to Start With
Fallout 4 is the worst of the bunch though. It's a glorified base building game.
Fallout 3 is the one i recommend.
They really should remaster it.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.31 Brings Big Damage Buffs for Clive, Better Side Quests, and Much More
I smell a complete edition coming soon.
Anyways, great excuse to replay the game.
Re: Amazon's Fallout Adaptation Seemingly Retcons Climactic Events of Fan-Favourite Game
Ok finished watching.
I start to think they may indeed retcon new vegas. But new vegas itself, the location and it's leader are very much re-confirmed.
I do wish this story was in the games. It's kind of too important for a tv show. Unless the TV show is It's own universe.
Re: TV Show Review: Fallout - RPG Series Marks Another TV Triumph
I watched the first episode and it was ok. But, it's not the same. That vault story would've fit a game much better.
I found the other stories less interesting.
I will probably watch more and see how it develops.
Re: Amazon's Fallout Adaptation Seemingly Retcons Climactic Events of Fan-Favourite Game
Well... i would more quickly assume the TV show isn't canon.
Re: Stellar Blade's Demo Had Way More Daily Active Players Than Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's
I didn't play either one. But stellar sword is a bigger curiosity cause it's a new IP.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has Sold Around 2 Million Copies, PS5 Player Data Suggests
If i'm understanding this well and it's 2 million active users, the game sold way more than that and that's a gigantic number of simultaneous players.
I doubt sales numbers aren't at least on the 6m mark.
Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Out 25th April with New Modes and Content
Sadly it won't ever be like Fallout 3 and new vegas. There was too much focus on settlement building and less overworld content.
Re: PSN Data Says Foamstars' Future Is Bleak, Just Two Months After Release
Well... it is a copy of Splatoon, it makes sense it wouldn't have longevity. It didn't really bring anything new to the table.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Expansion? Some Players Are Convinced It's Coming
I mean... it is likely. Capcom tends to do things like that and i actually like it. For example monster hunter always gets an expansion now (though not stories, annoyingly enough). I always liked the expansion model and it's much better than bite sized dlc.

Re: Suicide Squad Woes Continue As Hackers Make Free with Unreleased Character, Skins
Oh kill it already. Nobody cares. Nobody cared ever since it was revealed. This was just a dumb exec decision that leads to money loss.
Re: Yuji Naka Surfaces to Accuse Recently Ousted Dragon Quest Producer of 'Lying in Court'
Well i don't know the details of the case, but it is outrageous if a work note is used as evidence in japanese courts.
Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
1080p 60fps is what is required from me. Everything above is extra.
Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5
There really isn't anything i want from MS games. 🤷
TES6 maybe, but they will play coy with it.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Rise of the Ronin Has a Surprisingly Strong Second Week, Dragon's Dogma 2 Drops Off
It's shocking how much the japanese market shrunk with the years.
Or well... shifted to mobile i guess.
I remember the ps1 days when we saw hits every week and it wasn't uncommon to see 100k+ numbers.
Re: Random: Lara Croft Tops Mario as the Most Iconic Video Game Character of All Time, Apparently
