Agreed. I got Bloodborne and didnt like it, then I took a chance with Sekiro. The latter is way faster and more convenient with idol placement. That pose/parry system is a delight and I am chasing the platinum.
And that made me go back to Bloodborne. I vastly prefer Sekiro but I appreciate the Sony exclusive a lot more now.
Thanks for such an informative preview. Didnt know the pricing and if there would be more trophies, or how Ms. Chalice needs to be unlocked.
I double dipped on this one for ps4 and Switch, platinumed it on both, at that price I will get the DLC in both too. I want to do a B & W run before this arrives.
I am not dying to play it and I have a ton of backlog and other expenses so I can wait for a price drop. I see several comments here of people also not willing to pay full price for it.
Not willing to pay full price as I am not a fan of time trials and apparently the story is short. They should open up that stupid preorder demo so we can all try it.
I do love they added the option to play with infinite lives like Rayman Legends.
I recommend you to try the game at a friend 's house or something. I was hesitant at first since I thought the difficulty was cheap or tacked on and it took a friend bringing his Switch copy and a discount to sell me.
And so glad I did. One of my favorite games this gen, I clocked in 50 hours in the Switch copy and now I am replaying it on PS4. For me the learning curve is perfectly judged.
Adding another disagree to the score. I got it on Switch in April and I absolutely loved it. I bought it day 1 on PS4 to get the Platinum as I got every achievement on Switch but it is not the same. And of course to support this talented studio.
Everything from character design to old school animation to music is perfect and a clear labor of love. The difficulty is high but never unfair, as you "get" that you will be retrying a lot until you beat the bosses.
I would easily give it a 9, or even an 8 if you have issues with hard games. But again, the developer completely delivered on what they promised.
I imported this one bundled with the drum. Fun stuff and lots of songs. 100% English interface.
@Knuckles-Fajita
You just use buttons like any other rhythm game. There are three settings that use face buttons or shoulder buttons or a combination but since there are only two inputs it is not confusing yet challenging when patterns mix inputs up.
I could see it, thanks for sharing. I am hitting 40 next year. Old too, just not as much as you. You should not forget since it is the same day as your youngest son. If he is the January one.

Re: Street Fighter 6's First Wave of DLC Includes Rashid, AKI, Ed, Akuma
As with 4 and 5, it will take a while to see characters from 3. Always the black sheep.
Demo could have used more than 2 characters. I was expecting Jamie and Kimberly at the very least.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2023?
Meh. Got OlliOlli World last month so no real complaints.

Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Looks Better Than Ever in Launch Trailer
I liked what I saw and it is like 2 weeks away. Hoping for positive reviews.
Re: Spelunky 2 - Rock Hard Roguelike Is a Superior Sequel
@AFCC
I am the guy who never even played it, so I would like to see if it is as good as they say.
Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Demo Out Now on PS4
They dont sound too confident in their product if only people who already bought it get to try it.
Re: Hands On: Crash Bandicoot 4 Can Be Both an Evolution and Series Homage
Hoping they use the infinite lives system like Rayman Legends or Mario Odyssey. Game Over screens are pointless.
Re: PS5 Price, Release Date Confirmed: 12th November in US, 19th in EU, $499 Standard, $399 Digital
How big is the hard drive for the digital only edition?
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - The Birdman Is Back with Fantastic Remake
This is the second 2020 made game I have purchased (after Animal Crossing) and I am reliving lots of old memories.
Not only is this a polished remake of 2 games in one, but the fact Activision asked for $40 instead of $60 sealed the deal for me.

Re: Review: Shenmue I & II (PS4)
Not as impressive today but i still like it. 2 is brand new to me.
Re: Gamescom 2018: Shenmue III Continues the Saga on 27th August
Wasnt expecting a date but no complaints.
Re: Soapbox: Why I Love Shenmue
@rjejr
Your legendary half century celebration. You got like 20 daily happy bdays from me till I hit the jackpot.
Anyway, thrilled that in a couple of days we will be playing this.
Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Delayed to November
Fine with me. I am getting digital, I mean 1/3 more digital than people buying the disc
Re: Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! Only Releasing Digitally in the West
Imported last year so nothing new for me. I will get the Switch version instead.
Re: Persona Dancing Bundle Includes All Three Games in the Series, Launches December
@ztpayne7
I am hopeful since Sega usually releases demos as in the Miku games.
Re: Persona Dancing Bundle Includes All Three Games in the Series, Launches December
Demo please. Not buying 3 versions of a game I may not like.
Re: PlayStation Celebrates 500 Million Console Sales With Limited Edition PS4 Pro

For me it is more like "we are thanking our millions of customers by releasing a console only a few thousand may get if they are fast enough"
Re: Sony Has Sold Over 525 Million Consoles to Date
And the award for most overused picture goes to...
Never had a PS2 but I bought 2 PS3s and still considering a Pro upgrade.
Re: God of War New Game + Mode Arrives Later This Month on PS4 via Free Update
Nice but Shenmue. Bad timing.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Will Redefine the Industry, Reckons Take-Two
Very excited but not because of his arrogant words. Sounds like an EA, Activi$ion or any other suit.
Re: Review: Overcooked 2 (PS4)
@Quintumply
Thanks. Sounds like we will make it then.
Re: Review: Overcooked 2 (PS4)
@Quintumply
Is the platinum achievable?
Played the first one to death with my bro, eager to try it tonight.
Re: Interview: Chewing the Fat with Overcooked 2 Developer Ghost Town Games
Preordered. A gem of a co op game. Hoping it has a Plat this time.
Re: Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in August 2018
Overcooked 2, Shenmue and Guacamelee 2

Re: Poll: Do You Want More PS4 Games to Take Advantage of Gyro Aiming?
I would play Overwatch if it allowed it. Gyro aiming and the third person perspective are the main reasons I prefer Splatoon 2 over it.
Re: Guacamelee! 2 Will Suplex PS4 Next Month
This, Overcooked 2 and Shenmue for August.
Re: Good News! Shenmue III's Scope Just Increased Again
Good news? It is going to take even longer to release now!

Re: Resident Evil 2's Cover Channels Classic Key Art
Too expensive but I will be getting the base game. I wonder if the 4th Survivor will make it.
@rjejr off topic but happy belated birthday. Had a crazy week so I missed it.

Poor man's Spla....er Smash Bros.
Re: Spider-Man Will Also Score a Special PS4 Slim Bundle
Oh my a special edition I like! Maybe it is time to upgrade to a Pro.

An amazing team, you truly deserve it!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 228
Go Croatia! Shut mouths tomorrow, the same way you did last Wednesday!
As for games, I will try to finish KH BbS so I can start Bloodborne.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Fends Off Jurassic World Evolution for Number One Spot
Timed exclusives work. You just need a great title(s) so it tops the chart in consecutive years.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Photo Mode?
Not for me. I use Share for bragging sometimes.

Re: US PlayStation Store Kicks Off Massive Mid-Year Sale
Maybe Nioh.
I found funny how they bundled Doom and Wolf 2 and they are way cheaper than any of those individually on Switch. Same with De Blob and even Inside.
Re: Shenmue I & II PS4 Release Date Revealed
This and Overcooked 2 will make a great August.

Thanks for shedding light on this. Dont think I will keep voting then.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake 'Moving Along More Than Expected'
@rjejr
Nope, episode 3 will be a kickstarter and after funded Nomura will say that part 3 doesnt finish the story.
Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Top 8 - Match 123
Nate of course. Do it for Sully!
Re: Beyond Blue Is a BBC-Backed Ocean Exploration Game from the Makers of Never Alone
I will be supporting this one.
Re: E3 2018: The Best of E3 Sale Has Begun on PlayStation Store
GR2 is dirt cheap. That and Until Dawn sound good.
