Most of those americans are on xbox or pc. I like going for plats but find it exhausting. When I play on PC I hardly care for achievements it's a huge relief, because I could be done and gone with a game.
This game will be forgotten within 2-3 more days it's so bad. Zero plans on ever getting it. I'd be down for a sr1-2 remaster though if they don't screw that up too.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Just click on my profile. You'll see a bunch of games I consider trash and loads of others I don't. Some games i love to name a few bloodborne, mass effect, god of war 1-2018, halo 1-3, monster hunter, final fantasy, etc.
The assassin's creed games nor this hold a candle to those.
@mariomaster96 They lack a good story and their open worlds are incredibly boring. I put HFW on there too with assassin's creed games. Which is why it's selling well over there.
@pip_muzz Absolutely agree. I feel like sometimes unless I get the platinum I'm not done with the game. This happens on steam quite a bit too. I'm slowly trying to phase that out. As much as I enjoy the "ding" I miss the days without them. Just beat a game and move on or play it again for its story rather than the "ding"
@get2sammyb 505 have full rights to the pc version. Sony has no control over it. It's similar to octopath traveler. Nintendo has console rights but square has pc rights.
@KundaliniRising333 So you only played like 3 of his games and 2 of them being when he was fustrated with konami more and more. Following internet buzzwords from a vocal minority doesn't make you right.
@Milktastrophe "ok, so you just don't know how game development works" famous starting line from someone who doesn't know how game development actually works. Just because a game is "done" doesn't mean it's done. But for some odd reason you're so incredibly naiive that you think they didn't just pick stuff out while developing the game? Because Sega/Atlus has TOTALLY not done that before right?
Lets look at the content shall we? Costumes that take zero effort to make. Copy and pasted from other games. Extra difficulty something that takes testing the entire game. Something that is given away for free by many and I mean many other gaming companies including atlus which has included higher difficulties for free before. Bonus Demon Pack, Atlus has been doing this for years constantly putting SPECIFIC summons out of the game when it comes out, except this time its normal summons that have been a STAPLE in the series and have been included in each game without paying more (I'm guessing your "knowlegde" of game development doesn't extend to the smt/persona series). Bonus Story Arc, Again something so small that it reeks of being pulled out before release which also requires rewritting specific parts ahead of schedule before game comes out on top of translating it. Not to mention there's a pre order to top things off. Did they work on that pre order the day before the game came out too? Now if I were to buy an expensive ass deluxe edition I'd have to buy the "pre -order" seperatley whenver it's made available.
"This practice keeps the individual devs employed during this down time." This is not an indie company. This is a pretty big company with PLENTY of projects to work on and are owned by SEGA ffs. If it was indie you'd have some sort of case. But I'm sorry, take that innocent child like pov out of here. And you're right about one thing. It's not the devs screwing you. It's the people in charge. Which actually if you do a little research and look into how game development works with people who are in charge you'll see the pattern of crappy practices like this done plenty of times. It was so bad they some of them even stopped. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you hate EA. And it this game was under EA you'd have your pitchfork ready. But because it's "poor innocent" atlus you defend them with all your might.
@Milktastrophe Never said I didn't like dlc. There's a huge difference between ripping people off with day one dlc than making dlc after the game comes out. The fact that it is going to be ready day one makes it a problem. Not that complicated.
@Milktastrophe Has to be the most out of touch (and wrong) take I've seen in a while defending a practice that is literally made to screw over the majority of consumers.
My biggest issue with this game are its characters. Especially shuiji. The digimon carry this game hard.
This review is pretty spot on but I do disagree with this part "As it stands, combat mostly serves its purpose in providing respite from the dialogue-heavy plot, but it very rarely excites" When the characters finally start working as a group with their partners I found that really satisfying. Problem with that it's pretty far into the game.
I'm actually incredibly hooked. Yeah it's slow. But come on, persona 5 had like a huge slow start as well. That hasn't stopped me from enjoying it. I know this is from yesterday, but are you aware of the free battle? That's intended for you to grind and aquire new digimon.
I've played it recently. It's boring and it's not even a game to begin with. Press x the game then "opens" up to pressing square. This games popularity is overblown just because of a stupid cat that doesn't even look good. I applaud you for getting the platinum. Having to endure such a mediocre journey as a feline must not have been easy.
@MasterEMFG Well problem with that is it doesn't correct the lack of atmosphere from the original. Remember Dark souls 2? The brightness setting didn't help much and making it darker made it look terrible.
@BowTiesAreCool So they should pander to those who THINK it looks better? You can either be "objectively" blind or use your own eyes. To me they ruined the whole atmosphere of the game and like others have stated it's way too bright. And yes if you've ever seen a giraffe the original looks better.
New graphics doesn't equal better. The ps4 arkham "remakes" look terrible. Just becuase something gets a new coat of paint doesn't mean it's 100% better than what came before.
Sega did this with Judgement and they're doing it again here. I was getting the physical anyways. I did that with ff7r even with a free upgrade. I just don't trust sony with digital games. BUT! This definitely should offer a free upgrade. The gains are so miniscule- nonexistent it's....well.... insulting just like this article says.
@WCB You're sick of people telling the truth? If something has less content than originally and people call it out. How is that a negative buzzword? If anything it's helping other people be aware. Most people aren't stupid and will definitley call out such things.That logic of yours doesn't make any sense to me.
@WCB I like how you put content in quotation marks even though I stated a fact. MP is missing which was a big component and very popular with the community. People even wanted it to return with part 2 but instead it is being sperated as some games of service crap.
As for graphics it's easy to see improvements and sometimes it's hard to see. Some of the shots in this very trailer I thought had more atmosphere in the original. Like the underground train area. It's hit or miss in some parts to me.
If they added some prequel dlc of joels journey to boston that could have been cool. I would have been down for that.
You might as well buy it on pc or switch if they are pulling that stunt. Me personally I was going to buy it physically to begin with since I don't rely on upgrades, nor trust sony with any games on their network.
