I bought Series S as a second console to play Starfield etc. Didn't felt right to buy X. Maybe it should never existed, but it does. Problem is that Microsoft advertised it as a machine that would mainly deliver 1440p/60 not 1080p/30.
I don't care too much about the business side of things but a commercial success usually means we will have more games, although that's not always true (see Elder Scrolls). I don't think the iconic's franchise future is in danger, specially cause the MMO is the only game that contested the GOAT WoW, but I just want more games, remakes and spin offs. Final Fantasy will always holds a special place in my heart
thats cool and all, i'm afraid €219.99 is b4 taxes in Europe, not sure. I paid less for PS Vita bundle though and PS Vita TV was like €60 after the discounts. Wonder why the lack of bluetooth. I got a new ipad air so not sure if i will get this
Most casual gamers don't read twitter/reddit rants before making a purchase. It's sad that Rockstar can get away with this. Its a shame cause Rockstar put some effort on GTA V port that was very affordable and reasonable priced at PS5...(like $10) at launch
It's interesting that Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest can trace their origin back to Dungeons & Dragons but the western table RPG was always niche. I think "word of mouth" is universal and there's a lot of Japanese players that want to experience this phenomenon but it won't be as massive as Dragon Quest cause graphic design in BG3 is way too western. D&D core books had manga art design in Japan
I don't want a PS5 pro cause I can't afford it right now and I will have FOMO, other than that how many games really pushed PS5 hardware to the limit? We still have so few current gen only games.
Well the truth is that the game is losing momentum and Square just trying to keep up interest. I will do my part after a price drop. This game is one of the reasons i got PS5 at first place
@Mauzuri thats not exactly true. If ever servers go down, games will be available to you installed on your hard disc. You can still download all PS3 games you purchased. Blu-Ray discs dont last forever either, i'm sure NVme are more durable
So Baldur's Gate is on beta stage for ages and PC gamers seems to like it so i would prefer to play that first, but also got a Series S and Starfield is "free" on GP.. So guess i will play Starfield first
FF art direction is kinda less anime and more western than previous entries. Hope it will be a hit in Japan, its good for Switch to have some competition
I was forced to sign again in Premium Tier so I could get a discount and it really not worth it. On the other hand a whopping 27 additional games each month makes extra tier a real competitor to Game Pass even. without day one exclusives.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York is a strange visual novel that can be kinda fun if you really like the VtM setting but ending up with same result whatever options you chose. Haven't played Shadows of New York, hope they release that one too
@NEStalgia I'm sure it's an RPG but there's little to no build up in the demo. The brief fight sequences don't pose any challenge. I'm sure it will be great
I think you're looking at the announcement the wrong way. The important thing here is that the game despite all odds is still alive and they will announce some progress in September. That's great news for us few Vampire the Masquerade fans
Persona 6 and KOTOR Remake are my two most anticipated games but I think the first will have an ATLUS showcase. Persona 3 remake is more than welcome ofc
In few months PS5 will surpass Xbox one lifetime sales. Thats very impressive. Hope that means more PS5 only (or current gen only) games and better services for us gamers
Actually seems like a bargain. Angry Birds isn't as popular today as it was ten or twelve years ago but its still a popular franchise. The spin-offs didn't took off but movies were a moderate success,
I respect Rovio for supporting at their prime all mobile platforms, even WIndows Phone/Mobile
@Dodoo logitech streaming device cost like 300$, really doubt Sony that sells a pro controller for near that much will sell us a streaming device with 8 inch screen for 1/3 of Logitech's price
I don't mind if its for xbox as well. Can't wait! Obviously its done from a different team than Persona 6, hope there will be announcements for both soon

Re: PS5 Pulling Ahead in the UK Thanks to Sony's Summer Sale
Other than Diablo IV and maybe Hogwarts I think rest of the games are in discount.

Re: PS5 Sales Live Now in More Regions, Save $50/£75
@TrickyDicky99 sound like ps vita failure all over again.
Nice marketing move Sony raising price $50 and then slash it $75.

Re: Don't Worry, Ubisoft Promises Star Wars Outlaws Won't Be a '300 Hour Epic Unfinishable RPG'

Re: Preview: Everything You Need to Know About EA Sports FC 24
i'll wait next year for hypermotion VIII, which have to be way more realisic, even if graphic engine remains pretty much the same otherswise...
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Adds Women's Football Players to Ultimate Team on PS5, PS4
@anoyonmus you're right its not, its almost like a generation leap (from PS3 to PS4ish) on same hardware
Re: PS5 Was the UK's Best Selling Console in June, Biggest Games Perform Best Digitally
@Mauzuri thats not exactly true. If ever servers go down, games will be available to you installed on your hard disc. You can still download all PS3 games you purchased. Blu-Ray discs dont last forever either, i'm sure NVme are more durable
Re: Persona 3 Reload Gets English Gameplay Reveal in Xbox-Flavoured Trailer
@rachetmarvel ofc all games sell more on Playstation, and that one is on Gamepass so very few will buy it on xbox
Re: UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 16 Booted from the Top While God of War Ragnarok Climbs
Physical game charts is a pretty niche market these days. It's mostly bundles and Switch releases. Why don't we get digital weekly charts?
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Delayed One Week on PS5, Runs at 60fps
So Baldur's Gate is on beta stage for ages and PC gamers seems to like it so i would prefer to play that first, but also got a Series S and Starfield is "free" on GP.. So guess i will play Starfield first

I'm not holding my breath. I bought a series S so i won't have FOMO
Re: Final Fantasy 16's Painterly Japanese Commercial Is Epic
FF art direction is kinda less anime and more western than previous entries. Hope it will be a hit in Japan, its good for Switch to have some competition
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2023?
I was forced to sign again in Premium Tier so I could get a discount and it really not worth it. On the other hand a whopping 27 additional games each month makes extra tier a real competitor to Game Pass even. without day one exclusives.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Demo?
@NEStalgia I'm sure it's an RPG but there's little to no build up in the demo. The brief fight sequences don't pose any challenge. I'm sure it will be great
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Demo?
Ok I played it and its Final Fantasy with a little GoT flavor. Biblical demo, game of the year material
Re: Preview: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Is the PS5 RPG You've Always Wanted
I will feel a little bad to pay more for some DLC than what I paid for the base game, so I'll wait a little. Looks cool though
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Publisher Is Refunding All Physical PS5, PS4 Pre-Orders

Re: Breaking News! Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will Have a Story
I liked FF VII linear gameplay structure, not every game got to be open world. Some people get confused
Re: PS5's Remote Play Portable Will Allegedly Launch in November
Well if it cost more than half the price of PS5 i don't see it flying off the shelves
Re: Feature: Our PlayStation Showcase Predictions
Persona 6 and KOTOR Remake are my two most anticipated games but I think the first will have an ATLUS showcase. Persona 3 remake is more than welcome ofc
Re: Soapbox: I No Longer Think Subscriptions Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are the Future of Gaming
Well i'm not huge fan of subscriptions but they are better for the consumer over 80-90€ AAA games. These prices are just absurb

Re: PS5 Remote Play Handheld Purportedly Pegged for November

Re: PS5 Remote Play Handheld Purportedly Pegged for November
Backbone one alone cost like 100$, i don't see this cost less than 250$
I must say that 8 inch screen seem about right, games looks too small on my -non XL- iPhone
Re: Rumour: Persona 3 Remake Gameplay 'Leak' Is Going Viral
Hope its real, i stay out of P3P cause i'm hoping for a remake.
Re: Random: Monster Energy Thinks You Might Confuse Its Drinks with Monster Hunter
