@Cutmastavictory What do you mean with "percival" creator?

@crossbit @ShadowofSparta Sounds great. I´ll give it a go when this launches

I like this game´s art style a lot. The animations are very expressive and cute

I still have to check this out. How is it completely solo? I don´t have friends to play with

I´ll buy it no matter the cost. I must.. have.. new thing !

I hate Skyrim

Someone other than Bethesda should totally do a faithful remake of Morrowind

I´m about to finish SMTV V today. That game has one of the most incredible soundtracks I´ve heard
Check out the track "Battle - dancing crazy murder-" if you want to listen to some tunes

I really hope for Dark Arisen 2.0 + the missing vocations from the first game and the ones from the MMO thingy as a DLC announcement at TGS

@bindiana You should totally get an OLED display, it looks amazing

It´s a talking point for sure, but I don´t really care about the price. I literally go to work every day so I can afford to buy all the new gaming stuff

What irks me more is that there are basically 0 exclusives on the new console. Where are the games, man?
This substantial price tag would have been much easier to swallow for a majority, had they shown some cool new games to go along with the console.
At this point, I don´t have a reason to buy one, because my PC is already much more powerful and for some reason, Sony is putting all their games on PC now

I don´t understand why the euro version is more expensive than the dollar one. Is it some kind of continental tax or what?
Last time I checked 100 euros equaled 110 dollars
Am I just stupid?

On another note, I´ll get it if they show some actual exclusive titles. I´d love to play something like Stellar Blade in silky smooth 4k 60 FPS, but better performance on games I´ve already played isn´t a good enough reason to get a new console. No exclusives = no buy

@Shalooda I recommend Dark Souls if you actually haven´t played that. From Soft completely lost their minds when the whole "you´ll die a million times" difficulty shtick actually became a thing that people wanted
Souls like is kind of a joke term in my opinion, since almost none of the games that followed Dark Souls actually inherited its spirit

I´ve played about 2 hours or so. The presentation is amazing so far, there´s so much going in every scene. You can really take your time and look at all the amazing buildings and the lush vegetation.

No idea if I´ll bother trying the multiplayer. I bought this wanting a similar experience to the first game, and it seems to provide that at least

@Shalooda But have you actually played any good souls games or are you just baiting because you dislike Elden Ring?

"Activities" and "rewards" is such off putting language when talking about games (in my opinion at least, it´s this mobile game dev language, designed to suck your wallet dry).
No idea who plays this but I can´t stand these reanimated corpses constantly having their limbs reattached by means of some new DLC or what have you

My favourite has to be Crystal Chronicles. It´s not quite as bombastic as some of the main line games but in my opinion the OST is unmatched and the game is incredibly charming and atmospheric

What game do they need to show to get you to preorder immediately?
I´d buy one for Bloodborne in 60 FPS

I cant wait for the inevitable Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 Remake and hopefully some other new and juicy campaigns

I´d love to see someone revisit the expansions for Neverwinter Nights. Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark are two of my absolute favorites when it comes to cRPGs

Is this game really that great or did everyone here get paid to talk about it?

@Simong85 What are some of the redeeming qualities of the game, in your opinion ?

I don´t have any nostalgia for this era, but dont nod games are usually very moody and atmospheric, which I like a lot

Highly doubtful that this is anything but a secondary announcement to the actual big thing
Any dev/publisher pulling this ***** after Diablo Mobile should just go bankrupt immediately

I urge Star Wars fans to consider this game without the franchise attached to it: does it still hold up? Would you rate this an 8 without your favourite locations and sounds and characters?
Not that it matters, I just don´t want people to blindly praise something without understanding why they like it

I´m sure you could count on one hand the people who prefer this to be a standalone game, rather than a natural part of Hogwarts Legacy. They shot themselves in the foot with this one

I´m hopeful that the coming mod support will allow people to easily create their own adventures and even allow for new features, kind of like what Neverwinter Nights did
This game has such traction, it would be amazing if the modding scene could take off big time with this. Someone will probably even remake BG1 and 2 with this new engine, if it´s possible, considering they did the same with NWN 2

No idea if I´ll replay the main game again, even if there are new endings. The overall duration of the game is just too long, especially if you play on a harder difficulty. As much as I like the game, it´s not that great that I´d repeatedly spend 100+ hours on it

Dark Arisen was definitely the best content expansion I´ve seen for a game in terms of how well it was realized, the lore, the difficulty, etc.
I hope they can pull off something similar at least

Though I´d love to see more than only extra content.
More skills, more vocations, more secret hidden trainer quests, maybe more pawn personalities
Maybe they could even tackle some of the cut ideas from the first game. As I recall, we still haven´t gone to the moon

What kind of casual do you have to be that you can´t beat Metaphor before the release of DA?

I´m joking by the way. I am currently juggling like 4 different games that I don´t think I´ll have finished by the end of the year, let alone October. It is what it is, what is one more game on the pile?

Working at Gearbox must put you into a constant state of embarrassment. They should restrict Randy´s internet access before he tanks his entire company

@Old_Man_Harper It reads like that too. I´m sure they´ll rerelease it in half a year as a f2p title, after doing a full redesign of their characters

@NoobSeibot I think it does. Remove the Star Wars coat of paint and not a soul would bat an eye at this unremarkable product

I wish they´d attempt something more involved like Eternal Darkness, instead of these dull walking simulators

I dont know man... I love the gimmick of such a big statue but do I really need it

So is this just a graphical upgrade or did they actually add some new content?

When will the next big isometric moba release? I´m tired of these boring shooty games getting all the attention (and still failing miserably)

I feel bad for Hogwarts Legacy enjoyers who got this instead of having Quidditch as a feature. It might have made that game actually worthwhile beyond its basic Ubisoft slop gameplay

@sanderson72 Interesting. I thought the gameplay was basically a better version of DD 1. I enjoyed fighting some of the big monsters a lot, especially with some of the new physics interactions
I am hopeful that they´ll do a BBI for DD2 with tons of new and especially harder monsters that also start showing up in the main world. The game has lots of potential that the main game doesn´t utilize

I am also hoping that Dragon Age will be good. The latest trailer showing some of the actual plot for Veil guard took me by surprise. No idea why they kept pushing the Solas angle if he´s not even the big bad anymore

If Bloodborne is among the launch titles, I´ll grab one immediately

AI is amazing and enables loads of people who are otherwise creatively stunted to actually realize some their ideas
Surely, right now it´s a hot topic with tons of generated content essentially just being a mix of stolen artworks, but in the future it will be the go to for basically anything. I think anyone trying to "halt" AI has no real grasp on how amazing this technology really is

You can debate on what art really is, whether the process matters more than the result, etc..
As a consumer product, the way the "art" is created loses basically all meaning, and as such it doesn´t matter if the beautiful image was created with sweat and tears over the course of many hours, or in 2 minutes with a well done prompt

I´ve been excitedly watching developments on the AI scene and I honestly can´t wait for the future

@sanderson72 That´s a shame. I found DD2 to be pretty great, but I did play it on a really good PC. Apart from some massive frame dips in the city, I had basically zero issues.
Did you play the previous game or were you a newcomer?

@sanderson72 I recommend not waiting for reviews, then you might actually enjoy games for what they are instead of tainting your own perspective with the drivel of some reviewer who probably does not even share your values
Unless you are financially burdened to the point where every purchased game has to be amazing, then I suppose you have no choice

@AndyKazama Nagoshi quoted as saying "you won´t find us making smartphone games"
I guess he won´t be making any games under NetEase then, since their vision changed

@NoobSeibot Nothing is wrong with people, it just means you enjoy mediocre slop more than most

This looks good but I´m not completely sold on the parry/dodge mechanic. It´s an interesting inclusion but it feels like you can just steamroll the game by being good at fast reactions, since you´d never take damage
On the flipside, if you have bad reaction times, I would expect the game to be incredibly punishing for not landing those parries, otherwise the mechanic seems kind of pointless
I guess I´ll have to try it to actually understand if it works

The presentation of the combat menus looks amazing

@EfYI Again, what do high game prices have to do with the legitimacy of the workers' complaints? It´s wild to think that just because someone isn´t good at their job (= the devs take long to make ***** games), they must automatically be lying about being mistreated

By your logic, a studio producing games really quickly and cheaply could not possibly be lying about being mistreated at work, even if they have the most friendly work environment possible.

@EfYI What does this have to do with anything? Are poor working conditions excusable if they create the best games ever?

@AinsleyE What are you on about? Mainline SMT games are doing incredibly well, SMT5 + Vengeance is almost hitting 2 million units sold
This obviously doesn´t compare to Persona sales numbers (google gives me about 6-8 million total for all P5 games combined) but it´s still a huge amount

I think this game is going to do incredibly well, as it really targets both audiences instead of just the Persona casuals or the general SMT crowd

@Brundleflies21 I agree. You are spoiled for choice in this day and age, so why would anyone choose to play this game instead of the new Marvel shooter?

I wonder if the animation episode from that series they announced at the GamesCom opening show will give the game a new lease, if it makes the characters seem more likeable. Honestly I doubt it though

@man_what You should read up on some of the lore. Monster hunters are the REAL monsters, finishing a war that they started
White Fatalis is literally the incarnation of revenge for all the slain monsters, which is why hunters go insane wearing its armor (maybe this was retconned in later gens, but 2nd Gen this was canon)

@Ralizah Not until they actually allow some feminine male character models. I don´t wanna be just John Monsterhunter but dressed in a skirt

On another note, they may just end up doing more androgynous armor designs now that it´s no longer gender locked
