@Flaming_Kaiser pretty sure it is the beta with the lack of any features or teams anyway and was just rushed out for release to be at the same time as Fifa. The were well aware it was going to have just about nothing to do in it anyway and they were obviously aware of the state of the game because they are unmissable.

Silly question no one is ever happy at anything given away.

It's already better than the last game since that seemed to have nothing t o do with the Star Ocean theme of being set in space. Saying that based on each entry gradually getting worse I don't have much hope.

@sanderson72 pretty sure PS Now runs off of modified PS3 hardware and not emulators. So it's not down to if they can get the games working but if third party publishers want to put their games on the service. Some in the past have opted for remastered versions of games for the PS4 rather than putting the game on a steaming service. The same issue is being had with something like Switch online where publishers would much rather release their older games as part of a collection than have them on their.

There is also the fact that many games have expired licences from the PS3 era even if it seems like the games don't have any some may come down to the music in the game. You would have thought that pretty much all the Sony published games would have been on their by now no matter how obscure.

Would be nice for them to try and get some more PS3 games added as for the most part they have remained the same for a long time and if anything got less as some have been delisted.

@sanderson72 probably not just down to Sony but also of the original publishers are willing to make the dlc available. Saying that it has been some time since they have added too many PS3 games anyway the focus seems to be solely on PS4 games now.

@sanderson72 only if it is something like a GOTY edition that included any dlc that way the rest are the basic games.

They rushed out a demo of a game so it could be released at the same time as the new Fifa and it actually makes Fifa look like a good purchase of something that will be free... that takes some doing.

I think it's about time Sony combined PS plus, Now and came to an agreement with EA like Microsoft have for Game Pass because in comparison all three of those currently are the only way to match what is on offer for Game Pass and it cost twice as much a month if you had all separately.

Since they have stopped supporting the EA Play app and switched to having to download the games from the PS store on PS4 it is much harder to find the games easily as there is currently no dedicated page to the games.

Having played both games now I would say the problem with both games in terms of battle mechanics is there is very little variety in moves and stats as a whole and while it makes battles quick and fairly even it also removes any strategy from battles to who ever hits the hardest wins as very little can be done to effect the defensive side of battles in the first game. The sequal amends that by adding items known as cores to be able to boost stats like defence and HP but if anything the movesets in the second game are far worse and don't really do much in terms of variety. That said it's not like there would be much point as there is no way to really test those strategies in any kind of competitive battle either within the games or against real people.

@Matroska you are only including one platforms sales figures for a game that was also released on PS2, PS3 and PC and early this year it was reported by BandaiNamco themselves it has sold about 2.4 million copies. So no it hasn't outsold its lifetime sales yet.

From what I am getting it is essentially a demo unless you pay to unlock actual game modes essentially costing the price of a complete game in the end.

So they are essentially going to release the demo to start without any modes that are worth playing will get released one day, maybe.

I have both the wired and wireless N64 controllers they released and they are all around pretty good and have heard good things about the Dreamcast controller too. So I would imagine these may be similar in overall quality. I may pick this up at some point.

@ATaco while it would be nice for that to happen Hello games did pretty much go silent for the most part while they worked on the first major update over a couple of years while still getting heavily criticed so. People often want conformation that something is being done to fix problems and you don't always get that from developers until the suddenly announce something out of no where.

I purchased this when it was going for dirt cheap when no one wanted it and played the original base game just to get the very easy platinum. I kept the disc on my shelf because despite it feeling empty in many ways I still enjoyed the exploration.

It has turned into a far better bargin than I ever expected with all the updates and for all intents and purposes is a brand new game.

@joeyhopo33 no skynet has finally became self aware and the machines will rise since a server crash wouldn't happen day one of a zombie apocalypse.

I'm on the fence about this as not sure if you will you have to pay a one off price for master league for the duration of the product or have to pay every year to get roster updates in that mode? If it is the former it will be a worthwhile investment.

Seems like a load of website servers are all down too as I can't access my banking stuff.
