Re: First Review Scores for PS5's Metaphor: ReFantazio, Silent Hill 2 Are Glowing

UltimateOtaku91

I'm still getting Metafor Re Fantazio day one (Pre ordered), but for some reason the demo didn't wow me, I don't know if it's the visuals or the story pacing but it didn't click with me. Hopefully putting more hours into the full game changes that.

Silent Hill 2 getting good reviews has made me want to get it sooner, originally planned on getting it for Halloween as the misses likes having that day full of horror movies and me playing horror games.

Re: Microsoft Is Investigating Why Devs Are Prioritising PS5 Over Xbox

UltimateOtaku91

I just don't think there's room for three main consoles on the market, Nintendo and Sony have history and will always be an household staple for kids, casuals and hard-core gamers. Xbox are always playing catch up and don't have enough brand loyalty yet, especially now that they are releasing games on Playstation, and also Phones via Cloud.

Also they have very poor sales in Asian countries, so niche games from those regions will skip its platform.

Re: 'Difficult to Comment' on Astro Bot's Square Enix Snub, Says Team Asobi

UltimateOtaku91

This is a strange one, this game was in development for 3-4 years so obviously they would have asked square enix during the beginning. Which at that point they would gladly work with Sony, during that development time we've had Final Fantasy 16, Forspoken, Final Fantasy 7 ReBirth and Foamstars as exclusives, but they couldn't give Astro Bot some cameos? 🤔

Seems to me they wanted a lot of money for that and Sony said no we've given you enough.

Re: Dragon Quest Veterans on Dealing with 'Ridiculous Country' USA Amid Censorship Row

UltimateOtaku91

I don't understand how this censorship works but I'm currently playing the Fairy Tail game and there's a LOT on show and it has the same age rating as DQ3HD, so was it really necessary to make those changes?

Same goes from Atelier Ryza 3 and Trails Through Daybreak two games I've recently played and there's a few characters that have a lot on show, plus all these games have swimsuits but they are all age rating 12+.

Re: Fans Appear to Be Coming Around to PS5 Pro

UltimateOtaku91

Yes £700 is a lot of money but for some it's nothing, people spend the same as that (if not more) on a new mobile phone every two years. Then there's the fact you don't have to pay that money upfront, with Klarna, Clearpay and PayPal you can spread payments monthly. So I don't see the price having an big impact on its sales.

Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'

UltimateOtaku91

@Chupa_loyzer I read his comment and I can see where he's coming from but at the same time the ratio of male protagonist to female is still very high, as much as it's always been. The reason people are noticing female protagonists more now is because they are getting more lead roles in the bigger more popular games/IP's. If Ghost of Tsushima was an indie game with not many sales, this wouldn't have been an issue.

Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'

UltimateOtaku91

This BS of screaming "Woke" at any game that has a female lead has to stop. Games with female leads have been around for years and years with Tomb Raider, Parasite Eve, Metroid, Beyond Good and Evil, FF13, Perfect Dark, WET, Golden Axe, Heavenly Sword, Hellblade, Fatal Frame, Mirrors Edge, Dishonoured spin off, Dino Crisis and many more.

But for some reason over the last few years certain people seem to have a problem with female protagonists like they shouldn't exist.

Re: 'PS5 Pro Is a Really Good Investment,' Argue Tech Experts After Hands-On

UltimateOtaku91

@Maubari This is a strange take, the PlayStation store has thousands of games, many of those that aren't on the Switch as well like the latest big third party releases like Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate, Final Fantasy, Call of Duty, Elden Ring, Dragons Dogma 2 etc, and the Switch store is absolutely chock full of shovelware. Of course the switch has many more first party releases but for overall games the PlayStation has way more bigger games and even the most popular live service games some of which are not on Switch like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, GTA online and soon to be the latest Monster Hunter.

On the topic of the PS5 PRO I can agree that it's not a great investment, not at £700. You can get a standard PS5 and a Switch for that price which to me is a solid investment as you get access to so many more great games.

Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play

UltimateOtaku91

You can see the PlayStation Plus yellow coloring on the TLOU, Alan Wake 2 and Shredder games which means they are possibly coming to Playstation Plus soon, if so then il be looking forward to their additions.

Stellar Blade DLC would be massive and hopefully a nice update on Astro Bot with some free levels or even announce some DLC. Then give us release dates for Lego Horizon and Monster Hunter Wilds.

Also really pleased that Fantasian is making it to Playstation, Square really have dropped their exclusive stance, bring over Bravely Default and Dragon Quest Spin offs next.

Re: Is DECAPOLICE Ever Actually Coming Out on PS5, PS4?

UltimateOtaku91

I just think Level 5 are way too in over their heads, they are trying to develop so many games at once with Decapolice, Professor Layton, Fantasy Life, two Inazuma Eleven games, Megaton Musashi and a new rpg that got announced today called Ghost Craft.

Just focus on one or two and get them released instead of delaying pretty much every game, even Fantasy Life which is pretty simple and basic in design has now been delayed AGAIN, from 2023 to 2024 and now to April 2025.

Re: State of Play Confirmed for Tomorrow, 20+ PS5, PSVR2 Games Included

UltimateOtaku91

It's going to be Asian catered in line with TGS, so expect a lot of Japanese/Korean/Chinese games. They will probably announce one of the rumoured remasters but I wouldn't expect them to reveal any new first party games.

Personally I'm not too bothered if they don't show first party games as I'm primarily a JRPG/Japanese games player anyway, so I'm quite looking forward to seeing what they show tomorrow from Japanese studio's.

I'm hoping to see some Monster Hunter Wilds, Pragmata, Resident Evil 9, Persona 6, Decapolice, New Tales of, Freedom Wars Remastered, Ni No Kuni 3, SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada, Death Stranding 2 and New Wipeout from Sega.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 547

UltimateOtaku91

On PS5 i WAS playing the Plucky Squire but I've encountered a major bug, last night I finished on chapter 8 and turned off my game, went back to it this morning and my save says chapter 5 which was 3 days ago, so yeah it quickly got deleted.

Instead il be focussing on the Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream Beta and Visions of Mana

On Switch I will be playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions and some Splatoon 3.

Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'

UltimateOtaku91

@Rich33 I think maybe HellDivers already being an IP people loved helped it gain a positive reception. Plus as you say there's a big market for PVE especially if it's dumb fun like HD2 is, Destiny is also primarily PVE and has done very will over the many years it's been out, another example would be the Monster Hunter games which also rely heavily on PVE.

So yeah going forward I think Sony should concentrate more on PVE live service games instead of PvP, so basically it's not looking good for Fairgame$.

Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'

UltimateOtaku91

@OldGamer999 If it's true then someone is definitely getting sacked, that's a lot of money to waste and then there's the money spent on years of development on TLOU Factions. I think after Fairgames and the Horizon Multiplayer game Sony will abandon the Live Service push and focus on single player games (apart from Bungie)

I think a better strategy would be to get third party developers making online games and then acquiring them if it becomes a hit, like Arrowhead for example. They should give someone the Killzone, Resistance or Motorstorm IP to make a live service game.
