That being said I'm surprised anyway why they didn't do that sooner. I mean PS5 always sell out immediately anyway and I'm sure they also would sell out if Sony would sell them for 50€/$ whatever more
@SuperPotato316 No because the level layout is completely different. Astrobot (at least that PS5 one) has linear levels whereas SMO has more open levels. Also the movement of those games is entirely different and movement is obviously a crucial part of plattformers. I wouldn't even call SM Odyssey and Galaxy the same because their level design and movement is completely different
Those open world games with with tons of ? marks, similar combat, similar movement, similar quest structure on the other side feel (obviously) very similar to me.
"Yes, they're open world games but that's about it."
Nope,structure of missions are similar, dialog with NPCs are very similar, combat is action based, tons of ? on the map I even remember when they showed of GoT before release and they were infiltrating an enemy base and it showed that yellow arrow that an enemy is about to spot you and I thought "That's exactly like in AC"
@4kgk2 I played all the way through AC Origins, Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Zero Dawn and for me they felt the very same but with different setting Origins had ancient egypt setting, GoT feudal(?) japan and HZD post-apocalyptic robot setting, but other than that they felt the same to me story- and gameplay-wise
It's fine that you feel different about those games, this just just my opinion on those
@RedRiot193 I really don't get why people like to call Assassins Creed games bording or bad when imo games like Horizon Forbidden West or Ghost of Tsushima are basically the same game as AC but just with different skin
I really hope it's better than FF7Rs combat, that one was god aweful. Probably the least enjoyable combat system I've ever seen imo
If it is more in line with something like Nier, DMC or Dark Souls (combat-wise, not difficulty-wise) that would be amazing
And we already know that FF16s combat director worked on DMC5 so there's hope
Tbh I only own two Platinum Trophies: Spider-Man and FFXV
Most of the time getting the last view trophies simply is tedious and therefore not fun. And as Reggie Fils-Aime once said "If it's not fun, why bother?"
@Happymoogle So I'm a huge Pokemon fan but I was heavily dissapointed by SwSh so I tried out Temtem when it was in beta and tbh it was really boring. The music wasn't anything special, the Temtem designs were meh for the most part, way to many battles (it felt like there's a new trainer every 5 meters) etc
The only thing I appreciated was the lack of RNG like accuracy, confusion, paralysis and all that stuff that is in Pokemon
1. AI: The Somnium Files 2 (since it hasn't been released in Europe yet)
2. Souls Hackers 2, probably
3. Sonic Frontiers, if it is good (for a Sonic game)
4. The Witcher 3, one of my favorite games of all time therefore I definitely will replay it once the PS5 version drops
I mean they have a point, if you look at the sales numbers of games like The Witcher 3, BotW, Super Mario Odyssey, RDR2, Spider-Man, God of War etc it's obvious that no one cares about singleplayer anymore
I don't mind. In games with action style combat system and multiple playable characters (like Persona 5 Strikers or FF7R) I'll stick to the main char anyway
Also TLOU is already playable on the PS5, actually it's even "free" for every PS5 owner who has PS+. So pls don't act like Sony is so nice to make this game available on PS5 when it's already available on PS5 lol
@IonMagi But they quoted them and the quote only mentions PS5 and also Steam. Unless Pushsquare edited the quote (which would be weird) it's not coming to Switch
Hmm, GoW and Pokemon in the same month. Guess GoW has to wait then since it's way harder to avoid spoilers for Pokemon (new Pokemon, forms etc) than spoilers for GoW
"Receive a pre-order exclusive Persona 5 Phantom Thieves Outfit pack at launch when you place your digital pre-order now"
Yeah cause screw those people who pre-order a physical copy. I don't like pre-order exclusive bonuses in general but now they even are making a difference between digital and physical? That's scummy

@middyone Care to tell me what wrong about Mario games ?
(Mainline Mario games and Mario Kart, don't care about spin-offs)
Re: Sonic Frontiers Divides Fans with Footage Showing 'Copy-Pasted' Level Design
Tbh in case there are lots of Cyberspace levels I did not expect them to only make brand new linear levels + a brand new open world anyway
Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
@spcspc I could also affort it if Sony would raise the price to 1000€ and the price of games to 100€.
Doesn't mean I would be happy with that and buy it for that price so that argument is pointless
Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
Wonder how people are going to defend that one

Re: Poll: Was Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 Any Good?
Shows like Summer Games Fest and Gamescom ONL make me realize how little games threre are I actually care about.
The only game in the entire show I potentially care about is Sonic Frontiers and even that one only if it turns out good enough
Re: Sonic Frontiers Release Date Leaked, Launches the Day Before God of War Ragnarok
Not to mention only 10 days before Pokemon
Re: What Time Is Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022?
@Carl-G "Thanks for letting me know the time because I can avoid it then "
That's logic behind my comprehension. Wouldn't you be able to avoid it if you didn't know the time?

Re: Soul Hackers 2 (PS5) - SMT on a Budget
Good, now I know that I don't need to buy this
I really liked SMT5 and I love the Persona series but everything I've seen so far about SH2 didn't convince me since it looked so generic and edgy.
I considered getting it if it reviews really well but a 7/10 (or a 75/100 on Metacritic) is a "I'll just skip it" in this case

Re: The Witcher 3 Livestream Set for This Week
Hope we finally get a release date for that PS5 version. One of the best games of all time imo
Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Also Ditched for GTA 6

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is a PS5 Exclusive to Ensure 'Comfortable' Travel Across a 'Vast World'
The PS5 is 3 years old when this game releases, I sure hope developers leave last gen behind at this point
Re: Feature: Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games for the Rest of 2022
The only game on that list I'm really looking forward to is TW3, a game I've already finished 3 times lol
Re: Feature: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games for the Rest of 2022?
No particular order:
1. AI: The Somnium Files 2 (since it hasn't been released in Europe yet)
2. Souls Hackers 2, probably
3. Sonic Frontiers, if it is good (for a Sonic game)
4. The Witcher 3, one of my favorite games of all time therefore I definitely will replay it once the PS5 version drops

Oh, wait...
Re: UK Sales Charts: Only Three Top 10 Games Are Available on PlayStation
@GADG3Tx87 Switch sold 107mio units as of March 31st 22 therefore still about 48mio units away from beating the PS2
But it will definitely become the third best selling console of all time which currently is the GameBoy (Color) with 118mio units sold

Re: SEGA Announces Hyenas, a Team-Based FPS About Stealing Merch in Space
I love those kind of trailers because they let me immediatelly know that I absolutely would not like this game
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Will Have Party Members After All, But You Won't Be Controlling Them
I don't mind. In games with action style combat system and multiple playable characters (like Persona 5 Strikers or FF7R) I'll stick to the main char anyway
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Has a 'Support System' for Players Who Aren't Confident with Action Combat
An optional turn based combat style would be nice but that ain't happening
Re: No More Heroes 3 Handed Japanese Release Date on PS5, PS4
Didn't pick it up on Switch because it looked really rough (both framerate and resolution) but 4K60fps on PS5 sounds nice
Re: Soul Hackers 2 Reveals English Voice Cast in New Trailer
Cool I actually know every single one of them. Nice cast

It's such a shame that here in Europe we have to wait til July 8th til this game releases
Re: Poll: Which Final Fantasy Game are You Most Looking Forward to?
I really, really disliked FF7R therefore I'm obviously looking forward to FF16 to most since I'm not looking forward to FF7R2 at all lol
Might check out Crisis Core though
Re: The Last of Us: Part I Compares Tess on PS5 vs. PS3 Model, and the Results Are Impressive
@NintenGuy Man what an amazing argument. "You like Pokemon therefore your opinion is invalid"
Bet discussions with you are fun
Re: The Last of Us: Part I Compares Tess on PS5 vs. PS3 Model, and the Results Are Impressive
@BadPlayerOne What a funny overreaction lol
Also TLOU is already playable on the PS5, actually it's even "free" for every PS5 owner who has PS+. So pls don't act like Sony is so nice to make this game available on PS5 when it's already available on PS5 lol
Re: Persona 5 Royal PS5 Remaster Seemingly Confirmed, Releases 21st October
If it's a free upgrade it would be nice
But if not I'll pass, while I love Persona 5 (Royal) I won't buy it a third time

@Scoobijohn Because why create something completely new if you can just milk fans instead?

And still no mention of Switch...
Re: Persona 3, 4, 5 Coming to PC and Xbox, No Mention of PlayStation
It's really ironic that Persona 3 Portable doesn't get ported to the portable console
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is a Year Old
Pretty fun game, imo one of the best first party games when it comes to gameplay
Re: Rumour: More Persona Games Could Be Coming to Consoles
@RBMango Pretty sure Sony and Microsoft want to know too lol
Re: Rumour: More Persona Games Could Be Coming to Consoles
I swear to god when Atlus brings those games to XBox but not PS, PC and Switch then that would be the most Atlus thing Atlus has ever done
Or they will bring the 3 Persona dancing games to XBox cause that's also something Atlus would do
edit: Yep, Atlus being Atlus...
Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Release Date Targeting November
@RevGaming I did too with Gen 6 but then I realized that it's much more fun if you play the game without knowing the new Pokemon. (at least for me)
It's just really cool when you explore a new region and encounter a new pokemon you don't know
Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Release Date Targeting November
Hmm, GoW and Pokemon in the same month.
Guess GoW has to wait then since it's way harder to avoid spoilers for Pokemon (new Pokemon, forms etc) than spoilers for GoW
Re: Final Fantasy 7 25th Anniversary Broadcast Announced for 16th June
