I put that I'm playing it now, but I will as soon as I can and will get Tombi 2 and hopefully a third might happen if enough people buy it Right Now! If you love the game don't hesitate for a sale.

Surprised there's so little love for Tombi/a and Fantasian

Well I liked the Lego Horizon reveal at the start...

I still have Tombi and Tombi 2, but definitely a day one purchase for me, one of the first games to have a Trophies type meta game in it...never got the race track one though and never fully finished the second. Damn they were so good but hard!

That's good, I'll definitely support this, despite the weird nonsense from Sony about the PS5 non platinum.

I'll not be buying it then.

Well probably ok if you're subscribed to a decent internet provider and have a decent WiFi hub.
But to people like myself who aren't, it's disappointing they didn't implement it working on a local level without going through a Wi-Fi Network.
It seems like they just threw it out there to sell as many as they can and then abandon it as they have with so many other peripherals as they have in the past.

@Foxhound I'm not trolling by any means, it's a very honest opinion and, as my previous posts were well put, with no disrespect to others, but now unreadable, It further places foul play in certain quarters.

Sorry I'm not gonna touch it. Maybe it's of use in household's with a big network setup. But relying in on wi-fi connection router etc. It's not for me.

@Matroska
It would be bullying if loads of people decided to tackle the same person.

Bullying in any format is not good, I'm surprised at the comments celebrating it and for Push Square to publish the article in a manner to enable it.

Smugness abounds. Unfortunately if true it'll lead to more future price rises.

I managed to watch it in a rather rare showing at Carrick Omniplex when it came out, only about 4 people in the place, but everyone laughed when the phone went off 😁

@Pranwell
The scalpers can have fun with the one I'm not buying.
The people who bought it can have as much fun as they want. 😁

Well, they can have fun with the one I won't be buying.

About time! Odd they left it this long.

If it worked without a wi-fi network as well I'd be slightly interested. But as far as It is I have no use for it.

He said years and years ago: paraphrasing "If I can sell you the same game multiple times, then I'm doing my job" I hated that mindset then and hate it more now.
Look how much of the games now are remakes and remasters, even aside from the fact they charge stupid prices for straight up ports, when before him they had backwards compatibility.

@extragood
Ah, good advice. Thanks for that.
Might just grab the first two on the PlayStation store sale, then. Not that I'm a fan of buying digital games.
Cheers.

I honestly know nothing about these but they seem to have a good rep.
Is there a ps5 bundle of the first two to get started on?

Looks excellent! I'm still guessing the 3rd game might be called REGenesis.

Ugh! I was waiting, but might just fork out on physical copies. Only rented them before, but it would be nice to own them.

Very disappointing, but would have been even worse if it was another RPG, but utterly ruined by the 3D style.

I honestly don't think they have it in them to make a worthy sequel to the franchise at this point, for a lot of obvious reasons.

@djlard
Mine have been fine, have two.
Just swap them every time I've had a warning battery is low, never seems particularly shorter than when I was swapping Dual Shock 4s.

Binged it as soon as it was released, excellent drama series 😁

Very commendable work, also interesting seeing a 'slightly' less sure of himself Kojima.

If there's a similar game on the way from the actual guy who did the original Settlers, it might be a good idea to wait and compare the two.

Wouldn't say I hate it, but I spent a long time with scrolling platforms, prefer to move forward.

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, as I haven't seen anyone else talking about it. But it feels disrespectful to Uematsu in regards to the music.

If it's the same as REMAKE then it's mostly ditching his iconic tunes, to only have them appear almost as pisstake rearranged extras.

I don't know if the new composters were instructed to do this or it came from them, but it feels like they mocked his style of composition in REMAKE.

Yes, he had relatively simplistic arrangements compared to modern fully trained composers, but they actually did their job and resonated with the players, I doubt the new tunes will in 20+ years.

It just makes them come look like elitist snobs who didn't want to sully their CVs with doing proper arrangements of the work of an untrained composer.

@KaijuKaiser
It's clear that FF has a long history of being mostly turn based.
It's also clear that Square Enix lost their way following Sakaguchi leaving, and have been chasing trends since then to try and catch up to them instead of driving them.

The person is expressing their opinion, regarding a good background of the games being a certain stylist choice that lasted for a long time.

The people behind it have chosen to deviate from that to get widespread sales and emulate western games.
What is wrong with disagreeing with that and also thinking it's a wrong direction for the game series?

SUCH a bad idea.

@KaijuKaiser
You're calling gatekeeper, and trying to belittle someone else's opinion?

They've lost a sale from me then.

Thanks for the spoiler.

Not gonna buy a game at £70 again after the SNES/Mega Drive days.
Too much of a backlog, and anyway they already make profit if it sells at £40 due to the higher sales than back then.
Just being greedy.

Typical! Always left out of the good stuff.
😒

That's unacceptable, a game of that level shouldn't need a day one patch never mind a day zero one.

As much as I liked the original, that's a no from me. Not supporting physical releases that don't even include a playable copy of the game. Disgraceful.

@KundaliniRising333
In regards to the icons you could turn them off, pick and choose or keep them on depending on preference.

Oddly I'm rushing to complete the game, I've only got until midnight before my PlayStation plus discounted subscription ends.
Great game for £5...if I can finish it in time that is! 😁
Edit: Finished. On the credits now, excellent game!

I have Sackboy, already otherwise that would have interested me, but I only subbed for one month for a fiver to play Forbidden West, so I've easily got my monies worth, just need to make sure I finish it before my month ends!

Totally not getting it, the original was a huge time sink, really had to drag myself away from it!

Sounds very ambitious, maybe too much so, either I still don't like James' new face, too pointy and jarring.

Hopefully they've been working on another adaptation of a well loved IP or another Lego City as well, as I'm not personally interested in this.

So at least twice that for me, or 15 years+ if it's anything like FFXII!

Only knew him from the Horizon series and I'm playing Forbidden West at the moment.
It seems by all accounts he was a good guy, really good to his fans and it came out of the blue. Really sad when someone goes before their time, but even much so if they were a good force in the world.

'Gate keeping' I don't have a stake in either side of the current discussion, but I really wish people would use their own words to get their message across, rather than copying phrases that are overused.
