@Rudy_Manchego Yeah I had to wait nearly 10 years after the PS3 launched to afford one that wasn't used and even still it was at the tippy-top of the price-point I could afford.
@ApostateMage Not all of them. Gr3gg3r is a pretty chill adult-oriented Nintendo streamer, but yeah there are quite a few oddball streamers out there lol. xD
@Juanalf No because a lot of us can't afford the upgraded model and only buy the base one. What you're suggesting would price a massive number of gamers out of the market...
@Orpheus79V Actually bits still mattered till PS3. The pixelated 3D graphics were still a thing as late as the PS2 era even if it wasn't "as" noticeable.
@resigamer28 Wow "I don't like sports games so therefore no one should derp" Please stop being narcissistic and understand that just because you don't like a specific genre doesn't mean that it shouldn't exist. I don't like ultra violent games too much, but that doesn't mean I think so highly of myself that I feel they shouldn't exist. Different people, different tastes.
Great update! I hope Polyphony continues to support the game through the latter half of next year when the PS5 is likely to launch. Because as good as it is now, it's still not quite as content-packed as GT5 & GT6, especially given the lack of a track creation tool.
@FullbringIchigo I just don't understand why the mods don't step in and stop Kyle's trolling. It's completely obvious that he's trolling all of us and is single-handedly creating a very hostile environment here sigh.
@3MonthBeef The biggest flaw of all is that the console would be a useless brick once servers shutdown and everytime a company goes under their games will be removed forever meaning that many of your favorite games would be forever out of reach if the company that developed or published it goes out of business...
@3MonthBeef If it is the future the industry will go the way of the dodo. For every gamer like yourself who accepts it there are easily 100 people who will quit gaming altogether if it happens because they want to own their purchases, plus regardless of internet speed there will always be input lag which makes fighters, platformers, and action games impossible to play.
@Areus That one was a straight port of the PSP game, while this is a remake. I wouldn't be surprised if Second Evolution also gets a remake for PS4 around or slightly after the PS5 launches.
@rjejr Also remember that as a whole consoles have been getting fewer games than pre-HD era due to increased development time. Usually releases increase exponentially during the final stretch of a console in this HD/4K era. Even dropping a year off of the generation could cause most of the best third party games to not be released and be pushed to next generation. It would likely cause most generational titles to be released once every two generations instead as well.
@rjejr Some of us aren't rich and wait 3-5 years to buy a console and would like to get it before it's yesteryear's news. With your logic it would be even better if Sony released a console every year like i devices.
I personally like getting both Nintendo's and Sony's hardware each generation which the past two generations has been 4 system's in-total. There's no way in heck the average person can splurge and get all 4 within a timely manner given the cost of living. 2018 would have been absolutely ridiculous and unheard of. Five years is the average, but consoles that sell well always last 6-8 years because why chance releasing hardware that might underperform when you have a console that's still selling like hotcakes?
@Nakatomi_Uk It's pretty much confirmed that PS5 is at least a year off if not longer since it has NOT been scheduled for release in the current fiscal year which literally just started.
So 12 months at least, not 12 months at most.
I'd say November 2020 since the system won't be releasing before May of next year and I don't recall any system besides the Sega Genesis ever releasing during the Summer months. At least I think it was? If not, scratch that lol. xD
@ApostateMage Western RPG's are typically hyper violent games with mediocre combat and a story shoehorned in, not exactly much quality there. @ShogunRok Also the vast majority of the games on this list aren't even RPG's they're action or adventure games FACEPALM.
I just spent my alloted spending money on Persona 5 and My Time At Portia $50 tatal and $1O on Rodea: The Sky Soldier for the Wii/WiiU. So it's safe to say I'll miss out on this month's flash-sale and possibly May's flash-sale as well.
@JJ2 It's more like BioWare grabbed a sleeping bag and decided to lay under the bus and now is defensive and pointing fingers when the bus plows them over.

Re: New Tales of Arise Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Combo-Based Combat
@Wazeddie22 Berseria is good, but this looks like a full-on action game instead of an RPG. This feels like Paper Mario all over again...

@KidBoruto Awesome!
Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Western Release Date Adds Yet Another Game to Early 2020
@Heavyarms55 Uh...You realize this is an RPG right? Besides the GBA DBZ games they've all been fighters so actually this is quite a different beast.
Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Western Release Date Adds Yet Another Game to Early 2020
Please tell me there's going to be an English dub option for this game in the west? The Japanese dub is absolutely atrocious.
