May be an unpopular opinion but they shouldn’t do a sequel anyway. Not all games need sequel or to be milked. Just remaster/patch/port the game with 60 fps.
It’s still mind blowing how Sony hasn’t done this yet. Or even patched the game to 60 fps on PS5. It’s a gold mine they are sitting on and yet we get nothing but useless merchandise.
There really never was any doubt WuWa was coming to ps5. They never really denied it. That said can’t wait for next week when it drops. PGR from Kuro Games is amazing. Also side note super glad they are actually promoting the game. Took them….2? Years to do ANY ads for PGR.
I hate censorship. Censorship is bad. No matter what. People want to see it? Let them. Let it be an OPTION. Don’t just take it away. That said people are overreacting. And this is most likely Sony at fault. So getting angry at ShiftUp is stupid. BUT it should also be said a similar thing happened when NIKKE launched. People assumed that time it was Tencent behind that censorship.
I expected an okay game. So a pleasant surprise to see this getting some good scores. Glad to see it wasn't a low effort adaptation.
Also super good to see its 60 FPS. Tried the SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada beta and that was 30 FPS and it hurt my soul, and expected this to be the same. But glad its not the case.
It really is underrated. It looks so shallow on the surface but the game is actually really deep and satisfying. I am honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet, considering it has a PC version already.
So damn excited for this. Shift Up did an amazing job with NIKKE both gameplay and story wise. So really looking forward how they’ll do in a triple a environment. Clearly have a talented team.
Was wondering what Manjuu/Yostar was cooking up over the years (other than Aether Gazer). Excited to see where this goes. Sad it isn't actually related to Azur Lane though. And for what they have shown, this already look pretty damn polished. Im impressed.
F Atlus. Seriously. Absolutely ridiculous.
Im done buying their crap, even if its good. BS like this insane, and they just keep getting away with it. F that.
If I do end up getting this, I think i'll wait for a bunch of patches. Performance mode sound less then great. Is it FF16 level of bad performance while fighting? (with background and everything looking awful)
8 or 9 score seem about right. Been having such a blast with it. Honestly amazed how much they have improved the game over the first, even after going third person.
Pretty wild considering how niche the first game was. And this hasn't really got any ridiculous promoting either. Sure it has got some, but compared to other games its still nothing.
Edit: Just noticed a bunch of streamers are paid to stream it tonight as well. So that's gonna help as well!
Not surprised. Atlus is such scumbags when it comes to their games now. Remaking an entire, beloved game, just to sell DLC for it. How about instead they released a FULL game.
As someone who has played NIKKE since day 1, this is VERY exciting to see.
Also just as a note: Those 25 millions $ per month is ONLY from mobile revenue. It has a PC version as well, which isn't counted. So yeah. Its bonkers.
@themightyant The whole reward thing you mention is 100% valid. But a lot of the issues is also the lack of QoL for Genshin. HRS get so much QoL stuff so fast, meanwhile Genshin is lacking the basic stuff. That's also what upset people.
That said, only a bit into the new patch, and already loving the story. (Also only took 4 pulls to get Black Swan so yay)
Ah. BEAUTIFUL! That was honestly one of the great things about the first game. Accidentally killing your frirends lol. Glad to hear, so far it seem like a good sequel!
Im a few hours into the game atm, and man, this game has SO much charm. I am actually surprised by the game so far. Also the English dub is actually really damn good. And I never use English dub.
SUPER glad to see the game turned out to be good even after being stuck a development hell. Glad to see the campaign isn't super long. I'll take a short, good story over a long, dull, dragged on story any time. Cygames doing what they do best!
@ShogunRok Thats kinda sad imo. Taking away things are rarely ever a good thing. Always better to allow people the option to keep it as it was. But still appreciate they didn't botch up the game!
Glad to see they did the game good. Even with some not so great changes (removing fatigue, adding more teleports etc), and not to mention the ridiculous DLC. Kinda sad to see they made it even easier. Should just have added difficulty options instead of just taking stuff away.
Im happy we are getting more and more anime-based games. But sad there is so little effort put into majority of them. This being one of them. JJK deserves better.
It does look incredible and Cygames does have a good track record with their games. I really do hope it holds up considering how many years of delay it went through.
Eh. Its not really like Genshin but I also know thats just what people are gonna compare mobile games to no matter what, so no point arguing it lol. But that said, im glad to see Kuro Games can branch out. Punishing Gray Raven, their previous title, is mobile/PC only but is an incredible hack n slash game. Also after the first CBT of WW im glad they took all the feedback to heart and rebooted the whole story cause my god, was it terrible lol.
That honestly seem rather silly to put. That belong with Tekken Tag. Not in this. But that said, great review otherwise and glad to see Tekken 8 improved much more over Tekken 7!
@devildragon2k23 Their own website literally says its part of the more expensive editions. And you may wanna do a quick google search cause yes. The first LaD had NG+ behind a paywall as well.

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
"Single-player games are dead" btw! And a game with no microtransactions? And DLC to be FREE?! TeamAsobi shows how it should be.
So damn happy to see Astro back in full force. Had no doubt to be fair.
Please Sony. Just make Astro the official Playstation Mascot.
Re: FromSoftware Boss Twists the Bloodborne Knife, Says It's 'A Special Game for Me'

Re: Hidetaka Miyazaki 'Knows for a Fact' FromSoftware Devs Want a Bloodborne PC Port

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Will Get Free Post-Launch DLC
This game is gonna be so good and cozy. So excited to see Astro back and even better with free dlc.
Re: Betrayal as OG Mass Effect Citadel Sprinting Revealed to Be a Lie
Why is this only coming to light now? I thought this was know for years? lol. It was so super obvious to see and feel.
Re: Square Enix Drops OG Octopath Traveler, Available Now on PS5, PS4
And once again SE does the dumbest crap like this. No fanfare or anything. Seriously hate how SE handles some of their games.
Re: HoYoverse's Next Huge Gacha Zenless Zone Zero Launches 4th July on PS5
Beta left me disappointed. But since Kuro Games dropped the ball HARD with Wuthering Waves, I’m definitely gonna give it a try.
Re: Gargantuan Gacha Wuthering Waves Targeting PS5 At a Later Date
There really never was any doubt WuWa was coming to ps5. They never really denied it. That said can’t wait for next week when it drops. PGR from Kuro Games is amazing. Also side note super glad they are actually promoting the game. Took them….2? Years to do ANY ads for PGR.
Re: Review Bombers Were Even Attacking Other Games Made by Helldivers 2 Dev
Show how stupid the internet can really be. Being upset is fine. But don’t take it out on things unrelated to it.
Re: Umamusume: Pretty Derby Spin-Off Gallops to PS4 in August
Really sad there’s no physical release outside of Asia, at least for now. But still super stoked for my horse girls to come Global.

Re: Sand Land (PS5) - Open World Adaptation Is a Demonic Delight

Also super good to see its 60 FPS. Tried the SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada beta and that was 30 FPS and it hurt my soul, and expected this to be the same. But glad its not the case.
Re: Stellar Blade (PS5) - A Stellar PS5 Debut Destined to Become a Fan Favourite
So glad to see all that NIKKE money went toward an amazing new project. Shift Up doing good!
Re: $70 Games Are Just a Phase, Believes Saber Interactive CEO
I get what he is saying and wish it to be true. But unfortunately I only see the prices going up unless something else drastically changes.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
So overall a good game. Just a shame I can't deal with 30 FPS. Such a shame
Also very much appreciate you being honest about not scoring it due to lack of time!
Re: Romantic Visual Novel SINce Memories Remembers to Release in the West on PS4
Im excited for this. But man am I worried after the Konosuba localization disaster.
Re: Pokémon Meets Waifus! Azur Promilia Will Be a Big Deal on PS5
Was wondering what Manjuu/Yostar was cooking up over the years (other than Aether Gazer). Excited to see where this goes. Sad it isn't actually related to Azur Lane though.
And for what they have shown, this already look pretty damn polished. Im impressed.
Re: Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Releases in September, Is Part of an Expansion Pass
F Atlus. Seriously. Absolutely ridiculous.
Im done buying their crap, even if its good. BS like this insane, and they just keep getting away with it. F that.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Finally Confirmed for PC, Launches This May
Super happy for PC players. Hopefully its gonna release in a good state as well. One of the best games of recent years.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction
If I do end up getting this, I think i'll wait for a bunch of patches. Performance mode sound less then great.
Is it FF16 level of bad performance while fighting? (with background and everything looking awful)
Re: Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance on PS5, PS4 Confirmed, Out in June 2024
A Atlus re-release?! Shocking!
At least this version is bound to have an actual frame rate unlike what the OG Switch version did.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Helldivers 2?
Honestly between 8 and 9. It does have some issues, but with time there is no doubt Arrowhead Studio is gonna iron them out.
Re: Sorry PvP Fans, Helldivers 2 Will 'Never' Feature Competitive Modes
Not all games need PvP.
Re: Earth Defense Force 6 Delays Its PS5, PS4 Invasion to Summer 2024 in the West
Its okay. We have Helldivers 2 for the time being! Can wait.
Re: Helldivers 2 (PS5) - The Best Co-Op Shooter on PS5

Re: Helldivers 2 Off to a Strong Start on PS5, PC, Currently Third Best-Selling Game on Steam
@Mostik I believe it was around 25gb. So its thankfully not super big.

@colonelkilgore "Our review of the game will arrive in the coming days" Its in the article.

Im excited for tonight when digital unlocks!
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Feels Like a Strong Step Forward from Remake
As someone who really wasn't a fan of the Remake part 1, im actually happy to see they improved on what could have worked better in this.
Re: Helldivers 2 Pre-Orders Are Big on PS5, PC, Currently Outselling Palworld in US
Makes me so happy to see. The devs deserve it! Pre-loaded and ready!
Re: Potential Persona 3 Reload DLC The Answer Found in New Datamine

Re: Helldivers 2 PS5 Trophies Will Have You Doing Your Part for the Platinum

Yeah.. That's never happening when you have a buddy who just loves killing his friends by "accident"
Can't wait for the game lol.
Re: Preview: Helldivers 2 Utterly Revels in Its Chaotic Bug Battles
>friendly fire is once again a thing
Ah. BEAUTIFUL! That was honestly one of the great things about the first game. Accidentally killing your frirends lol.
Glad to hear, so far it seem like a good sequel!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Granblue Fantasy: Relink?
I am, and absolutely loving it. This game has honestly surprised me in a really huge way.
Re: Granblue Fantasy: Relink (PS5) - Fantastic Action RPG Finally Takes to the Skies
Im a few hours into the game atm, and man, this game has SO much charm. I am actually surprised by the game so far. Also the English dub is actually really damn good. And I never use English dub.
Re: Until Dawn PS5, PC Will Boast Fresh Locations and an All-New Camera
Did it need an enhanced/remaster version? Nope.
Am I happy it did? Yes. Just hoping they won't charge £70 for it.
Re: Granblue Fantasy: Relink (PS5) - Fantastic Action RPG Finally Takes to the Skies
SUPER glad to see the game turned out to be good even after being stuck a development hell. Glad to see the campaign isn't super long. I'll take a short, good story over a long, dull, dragged on story any time.
Cygames doing what they do best!
Re: Persona 3 Reload (PS5) - A Stunning Remake of a Classic RPG, Polished to Near Perfection

Kinda sad to see they made it even easier. Should just have added difficulty options instead of just taking stuff away.
Re: Deus Ex Game Reportedly Cancelled, Almost 100 Devs Laid Off
Such sad news. Also horrible how Embracer got all these developers and are now just laying of people left and right.
Re: Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash's PS5, PS4 Platinum Looks Like It'll Take Some Time
Im happy we are getting more and more anime-based games. But sad there is so little effort put into majority of them. This being one of them. JJK deserves better.
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
And thats me out. There is no excuse for 30 FPS at this point.
Re: Incoming Action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink Gets a Really Great Launch Trailer
It does look incredible and Cygames does have a good track record with their games. I really do hope it holds up considering how many years of delay it went through.
Re: Highly Anticipated Genshin Impact Rival Wuthering Waves Reportedly Bound for PS5, PS4
Eh. Its not really like Genshin but I also know thats just what people are gonna compare mobile games to no matter what, so no point arguing it lol.
But that said, im glad to see Kuro Games can branch out. Punishing Gray Raven, their previous title, is mobile/PC only but is an incredible hack n slash game. Also after the first CBT of WW im glad they took all the feedback to heart and rebooted the whole story cause my god, was it terrible lol.
Re: Tekken 8 (PS5) - Next-Gen Tekken Is a Modern Fighting Game Masterclass
