I get what he's saying but that being said I still use fast traveling in games like BotW, ER or TotK despite those games having good and fun exploration imo
@Olmaz Did we play the same game? I only played it for about 5h but the characters were very uninteresting, the voice acting was stiff and so were the animations of the characters during dialogs, the world has the same puzzles copy&pasted everywhere and the gameplay was very simplistic
But the atomosphere is great, I'll give the game that
It definitely was great but nothing will beat 2017 for me with games like BotW, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Tales of Berseria, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and many more
@get2sammyb Same. I like RPGs so I gave BG3 a chance. I played it for about 15h and I can definitely tell that it's a very incredible game, but the combat, the RNG, the complexity etc just isn't for me
Think I'll wait til the second DLC releases. It's been a while since I played FF16 so by now I have forgotten how the combat works which means I would need to relearn it for a short DLC and then again relearn it once the second DLC releases
Genshin is a good game (gacha aside) but I'm 100% sure that most people only vote for it because they will receive free item if it wins. And that completely defeats the point of the award
Also it's kinda weird that a game that didn't release in 2023 and already won that award even gets nominated again. I think games like that should be restriced to the "Best Ongoing Game"-Award, while every other award is for 2023 games only
And that's all games I played on PS5 this year. Not much. Also technically I did play Octopath Traveler 2 on Switch but it in the end it's the same game
@Ded_Nexus I don't play Fortnite either but your comment is just completely unnecessary.
I mean just because you don't like it it doesn't mean it's bad, it's popular for a reason

Re: PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Dated for 26th April on PS5
Way sooner than I thought
First half of 2024 really is packed, at list for me
Re: Another PlayStation State of Play Broadcast Announced for Next Week, Featuring Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Actually it's news I want to miss
No point watching a SoP dedicated to one single game that launches 3 weeks later imo
Re: Persona 3 Reload (PS5) - A Stunning Remake of a Classic RPG, Polished to Near Perfection
@rawzeku "Even with some not so great changes (removing fatigue, adding more teleports etc)"
Those are good changes imo but yeah I agree, they should make stuff like that optional
Re: State of Play Announced, Covering More Than 15 PS5, PSVR2 Games
Looking forward to Stellar Blade
edit: Just a shame that the SoP is once again at a bad time for europeans
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
@AK4tywill When the CPU is the limiting factor lowering the resolution won't help
Re: Incoming Action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink Gets a Really Great Launch Trailer
Curious about the reviews since the game got delayed a lot
Hope it's good
Re: Final Fantasy 7's Tifa in Tekken 8? Harada Wants You All to Chill Out
@get2sammyb If Stellar Blade gets delayed more they'd probably end up adding her to Tekken before her game even releases lol
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Played it for 8h so far and I'm really enjoying it, as expected from the series
Re: Persona 3 Reload Really Is a Gorgeous Remake in First 50 Mins of Uncut Gameplay

To many amazing, massive JRPGs at once

Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5) - The Best Yakuza Game Ever Made
Played Yakuza 7 and Lost Judgment within the last 2 month and I'm really excited for this game. Guess I'm in a Yakuza fever right now
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5) - The Best Yakuza Game Ever Made
@Ninjadeath2023 It's a shady move from Sega but tbh most people won't care and therefore for them it won't be a con
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Opening Movie Depicts a Day in the Life of Ichiban
@Nekomichu Same, I of course don't like that practise but it's not like it affects my first playthrough (obviously)
Re: Video: The Last Of Us 2 PS5 vs PS4 Graphics Comparison
I have to admit, that's actually a difference like night and night
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 on PS Plus Is Probably Never Going to Happen
Unlike most Ubisoft games BG3 actually is a game worth paying for
Re: You Should Get 'Comfortable' with Not Owning Your Games, Suggests Ubisoft Exec
I don't want to own Ubisoft games anyway
Re: Yes, You Can Play PS5 Games Inside Sony's Electric Car
@gpimlott Woudn't it make more sense to put the screen on the back of the front seat then instead of the dashboard?
Re: Yes, You Can Play PS5 Games Inside Sony's Electric Car
But why would I need to be able to play video games in my car?
Re: Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted
"exceptional 12-hour battery life" is pretty funny when the Switch Pro controller last like 40-50h

@ATaco They don't think at all, that's the problem
Re: PS5's UK Christmas Sales Down 19%, But Still the Leading Console
@DefiledViper For real, when I read the title I assumed they meant compared to christmas 2022
Re: Poll: Which PS5 Games are You Buying in Early 2024's Ridiculous Release Schedule?
Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Persona 3 Reload
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Dragons Dogma 2 and GranBlue Fantasy: Relink are a maybe for me
Re: Random: Atelier Is Everywhere in Asia Right Now
If the series becomes more popular I hope they also add english VA (again)
I prefer to understand what characters are saying without needing to read subtitles
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Is the Country's Biggest Boxed Release of 2023
@Olmaz Did we play the same game? I only played it for about 5h but the characters were very uninteresting, the voice acting was stiff and so were the animations of the characters during dialogs, the world has the same puzzles copy&pasted everywhere and the gameplay was very simplistic

Re: Poll: Was 2023 One of the Best Ever Years for New Game Releases?
It definitely was great but nothing will beat 2017 for me with games like BotW, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Tales of Berseria, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and many more
Re: Game of the Year: Sammy's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2023
@get2sammyb Same. I like RPGs so I gave BG3 a chance. I played it for about 15h and I can definitely tell that it's a very incredible game, but the combat, the RNG, the complexity etc just isn't for me
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Huge, May Take 100 Hours to Do Everything
Kinda surreal that this game is only about 2 months away. Can't wait
Re: Sea of Stars Replaces 'The Completionist' NPC Following Fraud Allegations
Kinda ironic that he "forgot" to donate the money to dementia prevention research
Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2023 Available Now, Check Out Your Gaming Stats
1. FF16 with 71h
2. Spider-Man 2 with 27h
3. Armored Core 5 with 4h lol
Not the most interesting year for PS5 for me
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Combat Is a Mix of Action and Turn-Based
I'll definitely prefer turn based if possible but not really having to deal with weaker enemies surely is nice
Re: Fortnite Fans Can't Believe the Price of the Game's New PS5, PS4 Microtransactions
You can get TW3 + CP2077 for that money, for example
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fans Miffed After Apparent Snubbing at The Game Awards
Xenoblade Chronicles fans: "First time?"
I still don't get how XC3 didn't at least win Best Soundtrack
Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS5 Game of 2024?
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Persona 3 Reload
Metaphor: ReFantazio
Like A Dragon 8
Also looking forward to Dragons Dogma 2 and Granblue Fantasy
Guess I might like JRPGs
Re: Kratos Voice Actor Underfire for Roasting New Call of Duty Campaign
"at an event that supposed to be celebrating this year’s achievements in gaming"
Good thing that MW3 wasn't an achievement in gaming then
Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen (PS5) - A Short But Explosive Dungeon Run
Think I'll wait til the second DLC releases. It's been a while since I played FF16 so by now I have forgotten how the combat works which means I would need to relearn it for a short DLC and then again relearn it once the second DLC releases
Re: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla Announced, Free DLC Out Next Week on PS5, PS4
@Moj500 What a weird response. What if he just doesn't like roguelike? No need to get salty about that
Re: Atlus Fans Will Want to Watch The Game Awards for an Update on PS5, PS4's Metaphor: ReFantazio
Cool, really looking forward to that game
Still won't watch TGA for it though since its at an ungodly time for europeans
Re: Soapbox: The Wait for GTA 6 on PS5 Will Be Excruciating
Tbh ever since Corona started time has passed so quickly imo, the wait for GTA 6 will feel a lot shorter than I'd want it to
Re: Final Five Games Battle It Out for The Game Awards Players' Choice
Genshin is a good game (gacha aside) but I'm 100% sure that most people only vote for it because they will receive free item if it wins. And that completely defeats the point of the award

Re: GTA 6 Dev Laments Unfortunate Trailer Leak: 'This F***ing Sucks'
@KundaliniRising333 "These devs have been milking the last game across three generations."
Oh really, has it been the devs who milked the game? One would assume it's the higher ups who tell them to do that
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2023?
1. Octopath Traveler 2
2. FF16
3. Spider-Man 2
And that's all games I played on PS5 this year. Not much. Also technically I did play Octopath Traveler 2 on Switch but it in the end it's the same game

Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for December 2023 and January 2024
Wait, Avatar launches next week? I somehow completely missed the entire marketing for this game
Re: GTA 6 Trailer Debuts on Tuesday, 5th December
They should start the trailer with "Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather" just to give everyone a heartattack
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Getting 'One More Patch' with New Gameplay Elements, Details Incoming
I guess they add FSR 3, at least on PC
Re: The Witcher 4 Is Now CD Projekt Red's Main Focus as Work Wraps Up on Cyberpunk 2077

I hope when it's ready

Never played the original one but this game certainly looks very interesting
Re: The Game Awards' Big Popularity Contest Is Underway
No matter who wins, in 2019 Fire Emblem: Three Houses won this award and that's all that matters
Re: Sorry Xbox, But Even PS Portal Is Outselling You in Spain
What's up with all those "Xbox sells poorly" articles lately?
I'm not a fan of fueling those console wars
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Is a Lock for Game of the Year, According to Most PlayStation Fans
@DonkeyFantasy If by "sort of" you mean "not at all", then you're right
I mean it released for PC first and is coming to Xbox in december, that hardly counts as a PS exclusive, not even "sort of"
