How long it takes to finish the game?

Say what you will. FF16 is an excellent game for me. Great story and combat. And excellent music and literally ground breaking Eikon battles. I would choose this kind of combat 100 times over turn-based.

Pushsqaure really wants this game to fail. Do you really need to include 'Don't get us wrong, it's nothing amazing?'

I live in the UK. A lot wrong in the UK and it is beyond the scope of this article. But I don't think it is just because of to Brexit. It is just easier to point out the elephant in the room. Ukraine war does have impact on the whole Europe. And there is shortage of burse

@NEStalgia Haven’t read all yet but the first point. It is not just the haters, it is the media who tries to cater them. I have seen media give out very low score to such games like Suicide squad 3, 4 and haters engage a lot in such posts and on social media. Suicide squad - I only played demo so far and watched a few videos. In no way it is 3 or 4 low game. Just giving one example. And most don’t even review games like my hero academia or foamstars. It seems people and media starts talking about but is going to be very bad as soon as the game is gaas and not even see or try the game yet.

I think most live service games failed partly due to haters. They just don’t hate and forget them, they talk about it with almost every breath they take. They start hating with passion as soon as they heard the word. Unfortunately as they are the most vocal ones, it did have a big impact on such games.The thing is live service games such as Multiverse, Foamstars, My Hero academia are free and have a very solid foundation but haters just keep badmouthing without even giving a go. Heck even Gotham Knights and Suicide squad gameplays are good. And haters celebrate like there is no tomorrow once these games fail. The thing is you can play these games and have fun without spending a dime on MTX.

Harsh review. Outdated? Open world can't be much more different. Most reviews gave 7 and above.

@Professor_Niggle I am living in a temporary accommodation, and I don't know if it is because its internet connection is slow. Mobile hotspots can't connect either.

I just bought helldivers. It said can't establish netwrok connection. I thought the server issue is now fixed?

I would definitely buy it when it is released. Could easily trade in with the current one.

Truly a legend! A great loss for manga, anime and even for video games.

@LifeGirl I think part of the problem is those games. Most casual gamers are staying there and not playing new games. For example, those who play Suicide Squad, Prince of Persia, and Foamstars etc are enjoying. But they aren't selling well. Services like Gamepass, Psplus also make gamers wait games for free.

Don't be fooled by haters (who start hating on the sound of live service games). Yes most live service games stink, but this one is quite a fun game. Yes, some cosmetics are expensive, but season pass is cheap, and you don't need to buy anything to enjoy the game. Definitely recommended.

Wish it was a third person view. First person view with Parkour is a bad combo.

Yes all media talk about it and that's how Palworld also became very successful overnight. Shame no media reviews or talking about Foamsters, which is also a great game.

Port begging. Unlike Xbox, PlayStation can't be played on most of the screens; hence, needs to have exclusives to tie customers down to their system.

Phil is a serial liar. Don't be surprised if all Xbox games will be released on other platforms. He is always like that—beating around the bush, backtracking, etc.

I will buy this after I play enough Foamstars. By the way, where is the review for Foamstar? It is actually a well made game with fun gameplay. Shame it doesn't get enough attention.

The trailer is epic. Need to buy this just to support the developer. I hope they remake FFX in the same vein. Hope to play the blitz ball in all of its glory.

The production vaule is higher than FF16. I thoroughly enjoyed FF16 including its action combat. But side quests can be made better, and its world is nothing compared to FF7R.

@Shushibda he always lies if you didn’t know it by now.

As a PlayStation gamer, I don’t want this. Microsoft m m at 3rd place is better. I can see they will sell GP on PlayStation with this and as mentioned by others, they will try to purchase more big third parties.

Still won't play it. GP model only works for live-service MP title. No surprise, they want to release these single-player titles on rival platform with a larger installed base.

Played sleds than an hour on gamepass. Not for me, hate rhythm game.

Quite packed up first quarter with one great game after another.

People should play EDF rather than this beautiful but shallow gacha game.

I think the news would be Sony bought Square Enix?

Painful to see Arkham hero like this but there is a reason why suicide squad starred in this. Out of justice league, Superman and the flash can’t have a proper game due to their powers. Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and maybe green lantern can make though. Personally I think they should just make injustice story as a game (not as MK)

Definitely a buy for me. This game is seriously underestimated. It is quite a fun game with a lot of replay value. It also has good story behind those funny dialogues. Spent a lot of time on EDF 5. Although I main ranger, the feel of phenomenal explosion via air raider can’t be compared with any.

Just wish it isn't a trun-based. Why can't they do like old Yakuza or judgment games?

I hope Sony also focus on smaller games. Gone are the days of PS2 era of small odd games, som eof which are gems. Sony should also remake its old IPs such as Syphon Filter. Replaying that or other classic titles on PS Premium, I can't stand it, despite growing up with them.
@Pushsquare, can you pool how many people are playing those classic titles? The vocals were so loud for BC blah blah. But I feel the Sony boss said the truth—only a minority ever touches them. Don't even bring up what the MS boss said, I know that, but he was always dodgy and not truthful. That said some retro NES/ super NES games are still enjoyable.

Embracer got The Lord of the Rings rights cheaply, though. I wonder why bigger companies didn't snatch it. I think it also includes movie rights. I understand that making this IP game or movie can be quite expensive; it is still a big IP.

I love the game a lot but feel a bit long. Like some others, I would like it better if not for a certain character's death, which I think is quite brutal. But I salute ND for being bold rather than choosing safe options. The problem was the first game was so well received for its twist, that ND felt they had to do something shocking. Still the ending was very beautiful for me. I have already upgraded and will play it again.

I m interested in this game for some dumb fun. Then again in other news, foamstars come in as free ps plus game in Feb. That one is pretty fun too.

@Kienda Xbox also has discount in Nov in the U.K. In fact X version was sold cheaper than PS5 at some point, around 320-330.

Agree with others. The title is totally misleading. I feel it is deliberate. Unrelated, most sales (including non gaming) happen in Nov this year. I don’t know why not a lot of sale in Dec for Xmas. There used to be more in previous years in the U.K. Too close to BF, I guess.

A joke not to include FF16.

Despite the loud noises from gamers everywhere, we need to accept that the majority spend a lot of time on these f2p games. Once a live service game stuck, it became a gold mine. Personally, I prefer games like FF16, Spiderman 2, but with development cost it is only a bombed game away from bankrupcy for most developers, hence they need a backup successful f2p game, but again the market is saturated. I wish foamstars becomes successful.

@Nepp67 But physical copies can also be damaged, and with time, they will not run either. Here, you can still download it once you buy it.

You wouldn't believe some xbox fanboys come and suffer in this kind of article. Ignore such trolls, people. We have a lot of great games coming out one after another this year that even goty nomination was difficult and these trolls keep moaning there is no game to play, no exclusive, slap in the face for releasing on PS4 blah blah. I bought PS5 as soon as I got my hands on it, and never felt angry that most games were released on the previous gen. Sony could have followed Microsoft's way and announced games in 6-7 years in advance and gave minimal updates with every gameshow. But what is the point? They have definitely changed their stance since the TLOU 2 delay and subsequent plot leak (Some idiots justify the leak for the delay back then).

yes like others, I think just release it as a standalone multiplayer at 10 or15$.

If they did it right, mp game in tlou world has a potential. I was looking forward to it.The faction mode in TLOU 1 was quite enjoyable. I guess the project becomes too big for them to handle.i hope it comes with some MP mode in their next game.

@Godot25 lol what? fatihyazici7 website is your source? Are you kidding? I don't even dare to open it. 20 million on 120 is still better than 30 out of 300 and those 20 million have to pay unlike free with promo sub. Indiana may not be as big as Spider-Man but it definitely has bigger name recognition than God of War, Uncharted, HZD, Tushima etc. So should have sold more than these based on >300 million base, don't you think?

@Godot25 you must be quite tiring coming to the PlayStation site every day and praising Xbox. lol
OK let's break it down. Even forgetting about the a lot of overlapping users, there aren't 300+ million combining all Steam, gog, Epic and smaller service. Although I don't play games on PC, I have steam, epic, battlenet, gog accounts to claim free games. So that is the LITERAL numbers you provided? Liar! 30 million out of a possible 300 + million (if I take your number) for a free game available on 1 $ promo service is a bad number (Oh I was one of them).
The fact that you don't think Indiana and other exclusives would sell more than PS exclusives speaks volumes. (why should games on 50 million base system sell more than 300 millions base). It does not make sense. Don't want to argue over stupid console wars, my original point was you are overestimating the numbers of pc gamers.

@Godot25 sorry where is your proof of monthly active users? Despite vastly outnumbering console gamers, why games are usually sold more on consoles? Piracy?
Oh GP always count everyone who downloads and plays even 10 sec. Rockstar not releasing on day and date is more than double dipping. Rampant piracy on PC is one of them.

The horror/ Psycho thriller genre is more niche. Those who haven't played Alan Wake 1 would not buy it either. No physical release as mentioned by others is just an excuse. Digital sales have been far more than physical in recent years.

@Godot25 funny you are overestimating PC number. While there are billions of PC, PC gamers are very minority. Hence GTA 6 or 5 or RDR 2 never release day and date on PC (also because of piracy problem and more difficult to optimise). I can say for sure even combined with PC Indiana or even Xbox exclusives did not sell as well as PS exclusives.

@twitchtvpat Not really when game award spend more time on game and trailers. But thing is there are other game awards too, why give more attention to that?
