@UltimateOtaku91 Same.

I was kinda sad about not gonna have a great RPG after BG3 and this pops up.

None of the games that my friends and I play. Damn, we really are the minorities.

DAMN Disco Elysium! I've been wanting to play this game for so long.

This is an amazing list.

Is ANYONE surprised by this except may be... Jim Ryan? LOL.

@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.

@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)

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.

Japan Studio had so many phenomenal games. It's a pity that Sony shut it down.

@Rjak I'd compare it to having fast food. It's simple, quick and easy way for some dopamine rush.

@themightyant YES! Okami really needs a sequel.

Awesome! Now I can finally start playing Act 3!

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!

@UltimateOtaku91 Same! How do I get the extra time to sleep next year. Hmm...

@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.

Buying Nintendo? Are we back in the last century, specifically the year 1999?

@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.

It's THE best RPG that I've played in YEARS.

Damn, the 1st 3 games are all great that I've wanted to play, especially 13 Sentinels.

@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.

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.

@Deadlyblack Yep, the Patapon IP belongs to Sony after Japan Studio was shut down. Hence, they can't use the same name.

@Deadlyblack It's not the fans making it, the developers are the original creators of the game.

"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.

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

@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.

The trailer is so cheerful and catchy that I can't stop smiling.

For me, it used to be Cloud until Clive took over.

@Nepp67 The movie is one of the best action--adventure films nowadays.

OMG this is the game-saving update that I've been waiting for

There are so many families with multiple Switches/Switch Lite but I don't know anyone who's bought 2 PS5 in the same family.

It's not surprising at all.

"Spend Sony out of business".

Jesus, this is competition at its worst. With all the money to invest in building the industry up, THIS is what MS came up?

I really hope acquisition fails.

@danzoEX Review scores at this level of games don't really make anymore difference. Whether it's a 9/10, 9.3/10, 10/10 or 11/10 means the same thing - it's a DAMN great game and everyone should experience it.

I've never been this excited about a FF game since FF10. When I played Zelda TotK, I was so sure that it is the GotY. But after I only played the 2-hour demo of FF16, I'm really not so sure anymore and went straight in PSN to get myself a digital copy.

Damn, this year's GotY will be so interesting.

@UltimateOtaku91 Comparing this game to Genshin doesn't make sense. It's the first open-world mobile anime game. It has the First Mover's Advantages.

This game, on the other hand, and in an over-saturated market of live service games nowadays...

@PlayStationGamer3919 I agree. I give it a year though just because of the initial attention that it will attract.

@Cutmastavictory Totally agree. I'm actually going to let my sub run out this time.

It's not because they don't have good games on it but I only have so much time as an adult. After subbing for a year and got to know the game catalogue, it's always better for my time, energy and money to buy the game that I really want to play.

@Shstrick Same here.

I'm still on Zelda. I guess I'll only get D4 when its expansion out or it goes on sale.

Definitely FF16 but probably not in June though. I still can't put down that game and I doubt I could in June... LOL

@UltimateOtaku91 Anecdotal evidence doesn't counter facts. Just because you didn't spend money, it doesn't mean the system is not predatory.

@Magnus_Selene Call me cynical, I was wondering when it's Naughty Dog's turn after seeing almost all AAA studios took turns to fall from grace in the past decade. LOL.

Wow... I thought it's a 6/10 game. This is unexpected.

I feel like Sony is lost. It doesn't know what to focus on anymore so it starts to throw darts at random things like.. a streaming device for PS5?! And PS5 earbuds?

Get back at making good games please. Don't be led astray by Microsoft and started to believe the whole "making good games is not enough" BS.

Other than Spiderman 2, though it's not the game for me but I can clearly see the production value, there's nothing much going on.

@Kidfried According to your logic that as long as a game gets patches and updates, it is a live service game. What games are NOT live service nowadays?

If every single game out there is live service, what's the point of creating this category? Why would Sony announce the split of 60/40 live service vs traditional games if every single game nowadays is live service?

Edit: Typo.

@Kidfried They are not. They are just great games with very high replay value. None of them have micro-transactions nor are designed to keep players. They are designed to be fun.

In fact, Nintendo has even announced that it has ended support for Animal Crossing back in November 2021.

This is what happens when you make quality games that are almost bug-free. They have more longevity as live service games.

@Stocksy You anecdotal experience doesn't discredit fact. In another word, you can pay $0 but its RRP is $70.

@SoulChimera So true. Internet is always about the loud minorities. It's not real life. We've seen this playing out over and over countless times.

I'll take the most recent example, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. How many people predicted that the $70 price tag will affect its sales and how many people appeared outrageous?

It still sold 10m copies in 3 days. Then we see trolls claiming it will sell 12m if it was $60. Lol.

@Heavy_Artilery It won't be the same. A popular mobile game, Genshin Impact, tried at the start but even they have to forge their own path later on.

Games are essentially art; the form can be replicated but not the essence. This is why many beautifully looking AAA games nowadays feel so empty and boring.

I love cozy games! This looks like another great one.

Sony definitely has a better balance on subscription and producing quality titles at the same time. It's not an easy feat.

But average gamers, especially newer ones, will still be drawn to MS' quantity first.

@Blackmagehobbit Absolutely. This is one of those times when I see poor leadership ruins everything.

Microsoft has all the resources and money in the world but he said they can't compete? The only reason that he can't compete is because he thinks that great games aren't everything when he's in the business of gaming.

Great games are literally the only reason why Nintendo is so popular despite their hardware and online support being 2 generations behind. I don't believe he can't see this.
