@Matroska I haven't found any part particularly tedious or brutal, even including the supposedly tedious staircase part. (Ya I opted this way. LOL)
It's probably because I really like the characters, combat and, I don't play like a full day straight each time. I think my longest sessions are on the weekends, about 4 hours each time.
As much as I buy mostly digital now, any company that disrespect people for collecting physical games is not gonna even be the one that I buy digital from.
So ya, Ubisoft. Get comfortable not even getting money from people like me.
@MagisterMagi I feel the same. Sure, GaaS is good money but at what cost?
I'm not anti-GaaS but the focus should not be on it. It should always be on how to optimize the console game experience that is a little difficult to experience on other platforms like mobile devices and PC. (People can argue that there's nothing that PC can't do, but console has the advantage of standardized specs)
@UltimateOtaku91 Or rather, they spend the money smarter by investing in MAKING great games.
Ultimately, subscription model is reliant on the quality of the content. What MS is doing does very little to nothing for the quality. They are ultimately shooting their own foot in the long run.
@Afroducc That's fast! I'm still at Act 2 and my official playtime is already 89 hours. The real time is definitely 100+ hours because of many reloads.
I'm probably not going to buy the game if I didn't like Divinity 2 so much, let alone the Deluxe version. I think Larian Studios really deserve all the support.
@Tomato_Goose It has more gameplay compared to Genshin Impact. Also, it's still a mobile gacha game at the end of the day so the game design philosophy is very different from normal console or PC games.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch
@AK4tywill Bait and switch. :/
I still want to play the game but I'm gonna wait for a big sale.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 Sales Slip 91% at Retail
I don't know about the others but this game is my GotY contender so far and I play many RPGs and ARPGs.
The sales number in Japan is definitely very odd.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Acclaimed CCG Queen's Blood Could Get Expanded
QB is really so much fun and each game doesn't take forever.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Available to Download Now
I thought they are releasing a new peach/beige controller when I only saw the pic. LOL. That's a nice color too.
Re: UK Sales Charts: WWE 2K24, Unicorn Overlord Crack the Top 10 as Rebirth Slips to Second
@BranJ0 They (or games like this) will get consistent sales over time instead of front-loading the sales.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Straight to my GoT.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Tops, But Doesn't Even Come Close to Remake
@C25CLOUD This.
Anecdotally, I don't know anyone who bought a physical copy of Rebirth among my circle of friends.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2024 Announced
Sifu and Hello Neighbour 2! This month is great!
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Remake PS5 Pre-Order Pack Is the Perfect Way to Play Both Games
@Matroska I haven't found any part particularly tedious or brutal, even including the supposedly tedious staircase part. (Ya I opted this way. LOL)
It's probably because I really like the characters, combat and, I don't play like a full day straight each time. I think my longest sessions are on the weekends, about 4 hours each time.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Remake PS5 Pre-Order Pack Is the Perfect Way to Play Both Games
I only started playing Remake because of the Twin Pack. Can't believe I put this amazing game off for so many years.
Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Be More Transparent About PS5, PS4's Most Played Games?
May be but it's not like most people care.
People play games to relax and have fun; not to determine if Sony is using a fair model to rank its popular games.
Re: Xbox's 'Everywhere' Future Outlined in Company Memo from Phil Spencer
@Pat_trick I can't stop laughing at this image that you conjured up in my mind.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo?
Went straight to preorder it halfway through the demo when I wasn't even planning on playing to play it on launch.
But I do dislike the motion blur and how I can't turn it off. :/
Re: Persona 3 Reload Is Atlus' Fastest Selling Game Ever
@Bentleyma Same here.
P3 is one of my all time fav games and I'm so happy to see that the remake has done it justice AND the public receives it so well.
Re: Capcom Currently Polling Player Interest for Sequels to Okami, Dino Crisis, More
OMG OKAMI 2 please!
Re: Death Stranding 2, Hideo Kojima the Biggest Winners from Excellent State of Play
@AndyKazama Why? The gameplay looks fun and it has cute waifus. The combo almost guarantees attention.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Shows Off Crazy New Character Class That Can Switch Weapons and Skills
My most anticipated RPG in 2024 so far.
Re: You Should Get 'Comfortable' with Not Owning Your Games, Suggests Ubisoft Exec
As much as I buy mostly digital now, any company that disrespect people for collecting physical games is not gonna even be the one that I buy digital from.
So ya, Ubisoft. Get comfortable not even getting money from people like me.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Conjures a Staggering 22 Million Sales
@PixelDragon It would have sold 22,000,006 copies if not for the boycott.
Well deserved, the game is in my top 10 games of 2023.
Re: New PS5 Games Release Dates in 2024
What about "Where Winds Meet"?
It seems to be one of the most unique and gorgeous upcoming action RPGs.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Final Fantasy 16
@UltimateOtaku91 Same.
My top 3 RPGs in 2023 are BG3, FF16 and Hogwarts Legacy.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Still Looks Fantastic on PS5, March 2024 Release Date Confirmed
Can't wait! It's one of my most anticipated games in 2024.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Release Date Will Indeed Be Revealed Today
@UltimateOtaku91 Sorry, I didn't specify that it's medieval-inspired high-fantasy RPG.
Of course, I'm super hyped about those anime/JRPGs too.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Release Date Will Indeed Be Revealed Today
@UltimateOtaku91 Same.
I was kinda sad about not gonna have a great RPG after BG3 and this pops up.
Re: PS5, PS4's Most Played Games Probably Won't Surprise You
None of the games that my friends and I play. Damn, we really are the minorities.
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra Games for October Leaked Early
DAMN Disco Elysium! I've been wanting to play this game for so long.
This is an amazing list.
Re: PlayStation's Push for Live Service Games Hasn't Been Going Smoothly
Is ANYONE surprised by this except may be... Jim Ryan? LOL.
Re: Another High Profile Live Service Flop As SEGA Pulls the Plug on HYENAS Before Launch
@get2sammyb They are likely going to be the same group of people playing Genshin Impact, albeit it is a pretty big number in this case.
GaaS has long reached its peak and I hope Sony will see this with the current CEO gone.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan May Have Been Disliked, But Leaves Big Boots to Fill
@MagisterMagi I feel the same. Sure, GaaS is good money but at what cost?
I'm not anti-GaaS but the focus should not be on it. It should always be on how to optimize the console game experience that is a little difficult to experience on other platforms like mobile devices and PC. (People can argue that there's nothing that PC can't do, but console has the advantage of standardized specs)
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty?
Not my type of games, especially when it's a 3rd person shooter. But if I'm gonna try any 3rd person shooter out, this will be it.
Re: Community: Push Square Community's Best Game of All Time Has Been Decided
Japan Studio had so many phenomenal games. It's a pity that Sony shut it down.
Re: Preview: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail Dev Has Quietly Become a PS5, PS4 Powerhouse
@Rjak I'd compare it to having fast food. It's simple, quick and easy way for some dopamine rush.
Re: Bayonetta Director Hideki Kamiya to Leave PlatinumGames
@themightyant YES! Okami really needs a sequel.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 3 Is Gigantic, Out Now on PS5 with Improved Performance
Awesome! Now I can finally start playing Act 3!
Re: Nine Minutes of Dragon's Dogma 2 Gameplay Is Enough to Make You Drool
I was sad when I think about after finishing Baldur's Gate 3, there won't any great RPG lined up.
I'm not sad anymore. This looks great!
Re: PlayStation's 2024 Release Schedule Is Already a Joke
@UltimateOtaku91 Same! How do I get the extra time to sleep next year. Hmm...
Re: Xbox Documents Reveal Staggering Cost of Bringing Games to Game Pass, PS Plus
@UltimateOtaku91 Or rather, they spend the money smarter by investing in MAKING great games.
Ultimately, subscription model is reliant on the quality of the content. What MS is doing does very little to nothing for the quality. They are ultimately shooting their own foot in the long run.
Re: Xbox Almost Flashed Its Cash At Warner Bros, Sees Nintendo As the Holy Grail
Buying Nintendo? Are we back in the last century, specifically the year 1999?
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Anticipated Patch 3 Drops Next Week, on the Same Day as Cyberpunk 2077 2.0
@Afroducc That's fast! I'm still at Act 2 and my official playtime is already 89 hours. The real time is definitely 100+ hours because of many reloads.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Baldur's Gate 3?
It's THE best RPG that I've played in YEARS.
Re: Rumour: Six PS Plus Extra Games Leaked Ahead of September Announcement
Damn, the 1st 3 games are all great that I've wanted to play, especially 13 Sentinels.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Baldur's Gate 3?
@ztpayne7 Same.
I'm probably not going to buy the game if I didn't like Divinity 2 so much, let alone the Deluxe version. I think Larian Studios really deserve all the support.
Re: PS5 Inches Closer to GachaStation 5 with DanMachi Battle Chronicle Confirmation
You forgot to mention Tower of Fantasy. But the PS5 version really does look like the mobile being blown up. Meaning, it doesn't look good.
Re: Patapon Successor Ratatan Earns Over 10 Times Its Goal in Booming Kickstarter Campaign
@Deadlyblack Yep, the Patapon IP belongs to Sony after Japan Studio was shut down. Hence, they can't use the same name.
Re: Patapon Successor Ratatan Earns Over 10 Times Its Goal in Booming Kickstarter Campaign
@Deadlyblack It's not the fans making it, the developers are the original creators of the game.
Re: Genshin Impact's Gigantic Fontaine Expansion Plunges PS5, PS4 from 16th August
"Of note, HoYoverse is upgrading the experience on PS5, adding in global illumination, motion sensor support, and even faster loading times"
Even faster loading? My character already loads so fast now that I can see it drop on the map when it loads.
Re: Patapon's Spiritual Successor Ratatan Will Release on PS5, PS4 As Crowd Funding Campaign Explodes
I'm so happy and even a little emotional to see so many people still love the series after all this time. T_T
Can't wait to play the game! <3
Re: Tower of Fantasy Debuts PS5, PS4 Exclusive Bonus Items
@Tomato_Goose It has more gameplay compared to Genshin Impact. Also, it's still a mobile gacha game at the end of the day so the game design philosophy is very different from normal console or PC games.
It's still pretty to look at though.
Re: Patapon Spiritual Successor Ratatan Is a Fan's Dream Come True in Debut Trailer
The trailer is so cheerful and catchy that I can't stop smiling.
Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
For me, it used to be Cloud until Clive took over.
