I honestly feel like I must have played a different game. The story was pretty gripping, but the gameplay was just so poor that it was a slog just to get to the end. Nowhere near the best game of the decade. Movie maybe, but not game.
I bought the game on sale for £3 last year, for the single player content. Then I discovered that it was online-only and promptly returned it for a refund. This is why.
Once again, these mini reviews basically tell you nothing. Honestly, what's the point of them? If you're not going to go into much detail, you're as well not scoring it at all.
"Handheld" is an adjective. It's a handheld gaming console. Both types are consoles, just one is often shortened to "console", whilst the other is shortened to "handheld". We done here?
"This is on the back of increased FIFA Ultimate Team and Madden Ultimate Team engagement" Whyyy?! People, stop! There are so many better games that don't take all your money!
I'm looking forward to this. Just because you're fed up of beat-em-ups, doesn't mean the genre is tired. I can't wait for some old-school Streets of Rage action if it's pretty faithful to the originals.
They can promise whatever they want. They released the game nowhere even close to finished. And for that I would never consider buying it, regardless of how good it may end up.
An update of a game that already exists, that you have to pay full-price for to get the new content, AND there's DLC on top of that?! Congratulations, Atlus, you've officially joined the list of developers I won't buy from anymore. Have fun with EA, Activision, and Warner Bros.
I genuinely don't understand the title. "Medievil and New Title Announce..." what? What do they announce? Or do you mean "Medievil and New Title Announcement"?

Re: PlayStation Store Is Selling Two PS4 Games for Less Than 20p Each
PSN store says they're both 79p both for me...

Re: Some European Developers Feel Like PlayStation Is Leaving Them Behind
@ApostateMage Depends if Sony keep doing stupid things.
Re: Some European Developers Feel Like PlayStation Is Leaving Them Behind
It's okay, Sony. I don't really care about you anymore either, and have no intention of buying a PS5.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Gets Big PS4 Update that Adds a Load of Single-Player Content and Photo Mode
Nah. Why would I buy a 2K game?
Re: Talking Point: Should Capcom Remake Resident Evil 4?
Not much point, you can't really beat the Wii's pointer controls. I'd rather see Code Veronica and poor Resi 0 remade first.
Re: First-Person View Won't Stop Cyberpunk 2077 from Having Mocapped Sex Scenes
But will Sony allow it?
Re: This Time Next Year, We'll Be Playing PS5
Couldn't be less interested.
Re: Battleborn Is Soon to Be No More as 2K Games Warns of Impending Server Switch-Off
I bought the game on sale for £3 last year, for the single player content. Then I discovered that it was online-only and promptly returned it for a refund. This is why.

Re: Hands On: Shenmue III Is a Fantastic Sequel That's Been Frozen in Time
Sounds brilliant! This is my most-wanted PS4 game for Christmas!
Re: Crash Bandicoot Buses Invade Britain
It's an ad on the side of a bus. It's hardly a "bandicoot bus"...
Re: Mini Review: Last Labyrinth - PSVR's Most Baffling Experience
That counts as a review?! You said "it's bad, but we won't bother telling you why". Pathetic.

Re: Globalising PlayStation Doesn't Mean Americanisation, Says Sony
Sony's actions speak louder than its words.
Re: Soapbox: Cyberpunk 2077 Could Become a Victim of Its Own Immense Hype
I know absolutely nothing about the game, so apparently I've escaped the marketing and hype so far.
Re: Death Stranding Technical Analysis Calls It a 'New Benchmark' on PS4
The graphics look incredible, but that is of the most boring, bland looking open worlds I've ever seen in a game.
Re: PS4 Is Now the Second Best Selling Home Console Ever
"Handheld" is an adjective. It's a handheld gaming console. Both types are consoles, just one is often shortened to "console", whilst the other is shortened to "handheld". We done here?
Re: EA Will Double Down on Live Services in Core Franchises
"This is on the back of increased FIFA Ultimate Team and Madden Ultimate Team engagement"
Whyyy?! People, stop! There are so many better games that don't take all your money!
Re: Hands On: Planting Our Bare Knuckles on Streets of Rage 4
I'm looking forward to this. Just because you're fed up of beat-em-ups, doesn't mean the genre is tired. I can't wait for some old-school Streets of Rage action if it's pretty faithful to the originals.
Re: WWE 2K20 Developer Promises Patch After Disastrous Launch
They can promise whatever they want. They released the game nowhere even close to finished. And for that I would never consider buying it, regardless of how good it may end up.
Re: Doctor Who: The Edge of Time Brings a Dalek Invasion to PSVR This November
Obviously I want this to be good! We need a great Doctor Who game! Is it getting a physical release?
Re: Huge FIFA 20 PS4 Patch Finally Tries to Fix Career Mode and So Many Other Bugs
Fourth update? In three weeks? Pathetic.
Re: Rocket League's Blueprints Will Replace Randomised Loot Boxes in December Update
@BowTiesAreCool What's PS Plus paying for then?
Re: Persona 5 Royal Reveals 'My Palace' Mode, Previous Persona Protagonists as DLC Bosses
An update of a game that already exists, that you have to pay full-price for to get the new content, AND there's DLC on top of that?! Congratulations, Atlus, you've officially joined the list of developers I won't buy from anymore. Have fun with EA, Activision, and Warner Bros.
Re: Rocket League's Blueprints Will Replace Randomised Loot Boxes in December Update
Or maybe there shouldn't be any of this monetisation crap at all in a game that isn't free to play.
Re: Lose Yourself in Shenmue 3's Living, Breathing World
Looks fantastic!!! Can't wait!!
Re: Yakuza 7's Turn Based Combat Stars In New Gameplay Video, and It Looks Absolutely Insane
Hell yeah, GOTY.
Re: Yakuza 7 Titled Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Swaps Brawling for Turn-Based Combat
I'll try it, and hey, even if it's crap it won't take away from the brilliant 0 - 6, what with it being new characters and stories.
Re: Persona 5 Royal Has 'Several New Endings' Based on How You Play
It's actually a shame I already bought Persona 4. I'm not paying full price for DLC. They're basically doing the Pokemon merger thing here.
Re: Poll: Has Gamescom 2019 Lived Up to Your Expectations?
I wanted Sega to announce a western release for Yakuza 3-5, and they did! So that alone made it worthwhile for me!
Re: Yakuza Remastered Collection Confirmed, Yakuza 3 Is Out Today on PS4
Yes!! I'll be getting the physical edition on day one!
Re: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Is Getting Microtransactions
NOW are people finally going to stop buying Activision games?
@TheN64Dude Because Activision are predatory scum?
Re: First Doctor Who: The Edge of Time PSVR Gameplay Is Very Brown
It's only 4 minutes of gameplay. I'm sure many great games have had 4 mins of brown in them. I need to see more before I can a real impression.
Re: Feature: Is EA Access Worth It on PS4?
It must be worth it, considering all those "free" games that you keep highlighting in that article that pops up everyday! /s
Re: Guide: All Free EA Access Games Available on PS4
How are they free if you pay a subscription fee? Don't be ridiculous.
Re: Sony's PS5 Strategy: Aim to Please Hardcore Gamers, Focus on Exclusives and Big Publishers
Sony can do whatever they like, but if they're still being run by prudish Americans, I won't be buying a PS5.
Re: Penn & Teller Bring Scam Minigames to PSVR Next Month
@ellsworth004 Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just genuinely curious, as it's not something I had encountered until very recently.
Re: Penn & Teller Bring Scam Minigames to PSVR Next Month
For how long have Americans been using "announce" when they mean "announcement"?
Re: First Online Multiplayer Footage for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Fires onto YouTube
Looks good, but buying it means supporting Activision...
Re: Here, Have a Dumb Live-Action Team Sonic Racing Trailer
Really funny, I enjoyed it a lot, and the references to previous videos and Twitter posts are great additions.
Re: Sony: We Empower Our Studios to Push the Boundaries of Gaming
By censoring games?
Re: Game of the Month: Best PS4 Games of April 2019
I love Ghost Giant, but it's soooo short. It's such a shame.
Re: State of Play Returns 9th May, MediEvil and New Title Announce
I genuinely don't understand the title. "Medievil and New Title Announce..." what? What do they announce? Or do you mean "Medievil and New Title Announcement"?
Re: Persona 5: The Royal Adds New Party Member, Expanded Story, New Enemies, PS4 Pro Support, and Much More
So they're doing a Pokémon, and releasing DLC as a whole separate game?
Re: Guide: Days Gone FAQ - Everything You Need to Know
Is the game finished at launch?
No, the game requires a near 24gb patch on day one.
Re: Guide: All PS5 Games Confirmed or Rumoured
So where are these "confirmed" games the title mentions?
Re: Days Gone Will Eat a Whopping Portion of Your PS4's Hard Drive
20GB day one patch?! Definitely not buying this now.
Re: Random: These Are the Best (And Stupidest) Recommended PSN Names We Could Find
Immortal Lunch is the best thing I've ever seen a computer randomly generate!
Re: It Sounds Like the Next Assassin's Creed Will Be All About Vikings
Including a pic of the poster would have been nice.
