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
@rachetmarvel Oh there will be always be that person who defends the billion dollar company for some reason
I remember when Sony increased the prices for PS Plus a few months back and one person in the comment section immediately started to defend Sony like there life depens on it
@bozz Same, it was pretty but when I was wandering around the castle and found the same puzzle thrice within 10 min I realized that there won't be much to it
@DeepSpace5D Oh yeah, I guess that could be the case. I think Pokemon SV did a similar thing where you would immediately get a Hisuian Zoroark when pre-ordering the DLC
I still don't get why someone would pre-order (and pay!) digital stuff like DLC that far in advance. It's not like it won't be in stock once it releases
Pre-ordering a few days before release is more than enough.
I have never played Shenmue myself but I heard that a lot of fans didn't like Shenmue 3 because it basically was just filler (it didn't move the overall story forward) despite having waited many years for it.
So I'm pretty sure fans will be happy to hear that the potential next game will be a prequel /s
Sound would stop working (and no, it wasn't during Haileys quest). Had to restart the game
Soundeffects of the traffic stopped working three times. Had to restart to game each time
Progess bar for some side activitity didn't go away after finishing said activity
When escaping from a collapsing building I had to swing to the right. But the game just wouldn't let me. Had to go back to the last checkpoint (which luckily was right before)
After learing a new move the game told me to press L1 + X and even though I tried multiple times the game didn't do anything. Had to go back to the last checkpoint (which luckly also was right before)
But luckily this time around the game didn't crash during the final boss fight unlike in Miles Morales lol
@guntam For real. When playing through P4 and P5 I never thought "Man, I wish the protagonist could use some other kind of weapon" because it simply hardly matters
@Quintumply Sorry if this has already been answered in the review, I didnt read it cause I want to play it as blind as possible but do characters constantly tell you what to do and spoil solutions to puzzles? Cause stuff like that ruined HFW and GOWR for me
I hope the world map is more interesting than FF16s. As much as I liked FF16 I have to say that it's world map was a bit boring to explore because most of the time you'd just find the same items and enemy types over and over again

Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2023 Available Now, Check Out Your Gaming Stats
1. FF16 with 71h

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: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS5 Game of 2024?
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Persona 3 Reload

Guess I might like JRPGs
Re: Kratos Voice Actor Underfire for Roasting New Call of Duty Campaign

Good thing that MW3 wasn't an achievement in gaming then

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

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

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

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

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"

Re: Video: Why Sony Will Never Make the PS Vita 2
@Dman10 The Steam Deck kinda is, most PS4 era games (including Sonys first party games) are on Steam and run really well
Downside is ofc that you would need to buy those games again
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Apparates Back to the Top Spot
@bozz Same, it was pretty but when I was wandering around the castle and found the same puzzle thrice within 10 min I realized that there won't be much to it
Dropped it after 5h because it sadly bored me

I'll probably play it via gamepass but currently i'm busy playing Super Mario RPG
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 March 2024 Release Date Leaked

Re: You've Been Single Since Birth in This Quirky PS5 FMV Game
I've been single since birth anyway, I don't need a video game for that
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Pulling Inspiration from PS5, PS4 Greats
@nessisonett True but thb I think open world in general doesn't make sense for a game with linear story
I mean open and linear kinda contradict each other
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Pulling Inspiration from PS5, PS4 Greats
Should have looked at Breath of the Wild an Tears of the Kingdom instead if they want inspiration for an open world
Re: Talking Point: As PS5 Turns 3, How Are You Feeling About It?

Re: Destiny 2 Fans Demand Refunds for Next DLC After Bungie Layoffs
@DeepSpace5D Oh yeah, I guess that could be the case. I think Pokemon SV did a similar thing where you would immediately get a Hisuian Zoroark when pre-ordering the DLC

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (PS5) - A Familiar But Fantastic Superhero Sequel
@Quintumply Sorry if this has already been answered in the review, I didnt read it cause I want to play it as blind as possible but do characters constantly tell you what to do and spoil solutions to puzzles? Cause stuff like that ruined HFW and GOWR for me
Re: Poll: How's Your Hype for Marvel's Spider-Man 2?
Since I was disappointed by both HFW and GoW:R I'm not super hyped but I' still looking forward to it
I just hope the game doesn't constantly tell me what to do and spoil solutions to puzzles after like 2 seconds
Re: Now Cancelled, Hyenas Was Reportedly SEGA's Biggest Budget Game Ever
I hope all those failing GaaS-games lately finally will be a wake up call for all those publishers
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's World Is Starting to Sound Absolutely Massive
