To each their own. No one else's opinion matters to me. I love the way they think it does though. I'm loving it. Its everything I wanted it to be after 12 long years.
@Specky I hear you. The grass in Rebirth doesn't even know you're walking through it or the that the wind is blowing but RDR2 did. The snow reacts just as you'd expect it to.
It's a pass from me. I got the PS4 Pro but only because my youngest poured a drink over my PS4 so I was buying a new console anyway. I've no interest in a mid gen update. I'll just ride it out and wait for the PS6.
@SgtTruth I can honestly say that during my 25hrs, so far I've not encountered anything other than a bit of npc pop in. And that's only in towns. So far I agree with every word of Push Squares review.
They had them in DD1 over a decade ago. I was fully expecting them to be in DD2. I guess to some extent the loudness of the noise shows how many didn't play DD1. Games cost too much to make now. And with most games needing servers to handle whatever form of co-op or multiplayer the game has they need to either increase the cost of games or add mxs. I'd much prefer it if they was handled in this way, useless to anybody but the lazy.
@Matthewnh Dont worry dude they are easily avoidable and as you said the enjoyment comes from traversing and exploring this amazing world they've created. With that mindset you won't even think twice about them.
Well this sucks. The game is amazing. Its almost everything I wanted it to be after the long 12 year wait. I was over 10 hrs in before i heard of these microtransactions and probably would never have noticed them if the gaming community hadn't exploded. The items on offer seem so at odds with the design and philosophy of the game. My guess is this was Capcoms genius idea and not the development team.
To each their own but I'm loving it. It's everything I wanted it to be. I played the original at launch back in the day and so far Remake and Rebirth are easily far better games.
Just got to get Quantum Break away from Microsoft. Hopefully not too hard. They've got more than enough IP of their own that they don't know what to do with.
@Judal27 Enjoy bro. I loved my time with that game and I played it launch week. Bought the expansion at Christmas but its going to be on the back burner until after Rebirth.
It will be insane to see a MS splashscreen on a playstation console but I'm here for it. I've looked at Sea of Thieves fondly since it arrived on xbox. And my number one obsession is Piracy, particularly the golden age of piracy. They've already sold me a copy.
I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. Since Remake really ha. And then shortly after we get Dragons Dogma 2 and Shadow of the Erdtree. Going to be a good year.
@RadioHedgeFund haha they could have just made it a menu thing instead in classic bungie style they make it a pointless time wasting grind. I can't believe I gave Deatiny as much time as I did. I'll probably return for the Final Shape and then I'm done forever.
@LagunaX1 very true. I hope there is no trophy for dating Barret again. I'd like to share that moment with Aerith but if there is a Barret trophy then the platinum dictates and I'll acquiesce like a good little trophy hunter.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing the Stellar Blade Demo?
Not yet. I'm still lost in DD2. I'm hearing good things about it though.

@ApostateMage I'd check the eyes of the chicken thrower if I was you.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Discover Working Trebuchets, Secret Areas
@DennisReynolds nice. I'll be sure to switch to thief before taking down the dragon.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch
DD1 had some of the same mxs. And that was 12 years ago.

This guerilla marketing that they are engaged in is genius.

Re: Smooth Sailing for Xbox Exclusive Sea of Thieves As It Tops PS5 Pre-Order Charts
@get2sammyb I'd be shocked if it wasnt one of the games they're considering.
Re: Smooth Sailing for Xbox Exclusive Sea of Thieves As It Tops PS5 Pre-Order Charts
I preordered immediately. But pirates are my obsession so I was target audience.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's 'Creepy' Moogles Are Giving Players the Ick
The things gamers choose to care about are weird.
Re: Guerrilla's Online PS5 Horizon Game Survives Sony Cull
Someone at Sony really likes Horizon. To me they was both fun but forgettable.
Re: Remedy Regains Control of Control IP from Publisher 505 Games
Just got to get Quantum Break away from Microsoft. Hopefully not too hard. They've got more than enough IP of their own that they don't know what to do with.
Re: Yoko Taro Puts Square Enix President on Blast, Potentially Teases NieR 3
Fingers crossed. Replicant was good but Automata was amazing.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 517
Helldivers and wrapping up the Dead Space platinum. Should have it finished in time for FFVII Rebirth and a whole week off work to play it.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Skull and Bones?
@Kidfunkadelic83 In Sea of Thieves you're a pirate. In Skull and Bones you're a ship. They should have made Black Flag online and I'd be all in.
Re: Arrowhead Recruiting Devs to 'Accelerate and Beef Up' Helldivers 2 Content Plans
@Areus I'd kill for a new Socom.
Re: Arrowhead Recruiting Devs to 'Accelerate and Beef Up' Helldivers 2 Content Plans
@Jay767 I have zero problems. I just don't a benefit for PlayStation.
Re: Arrowhead Recruiting Devs to 'Accelerate and Beef Up' Helldivers 2 Content Plans
@Jay767 Yeah maybe but that's what we said after FF7 Remake released. I don't think MS will be buying anymore studios for the foreseeable future.
Re: Arrowhead Recruiting Devs to 'Accelerate and Beef Up' Helldivers 2 Content Plans
@Max_the_German Doubt it. Don't need to buy the tree when you've already got the fruit.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?
@OldGamer999 I hope you enjoy it.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours?
Sucks for the xbox fans but put trophies in some of those games and I'm there.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Tracks How Much Your Crush Hearts You on PS5
@Uromastryx oh I hope not 🤞. You're probably right though. Like Dressed to the Nines in Remake.
Re: Capcom Currently Polling Player Interest for Sequels to Okami, Dino Crisis, More
They must know we want Dino Crisis. We haven't shut up about it for years.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Tracks How Much Your Crush Hearts You on PS5
@Uromastryx Not this time. Thank god. Original FFVII had a trophy to take Barrett on the date.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Feels Like a Strong Step Forward from Remake
@Elitepatriot there is a point in the trailer where they show the full map with all regions. Looks huge.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Feels Like a Strong Step Forward from Remake
Like Maximillian Dood said, GOTY has been locked in and it's only February.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?
With bells on.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?
@OldGamer999 I'd play Remake first if I was you.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's PS5 Demo Accidentally Outed by Sony
We all knew it was coming today anyway. Hyped to hear it from the horses mouth though.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Long Trophy List Revealed, 61 to Unlock
I'm just happy I don't have to date Barrett again.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Practically Confirmed for State of Play as Hideo Kojima Hypes Stream
Hyped. All I need now is the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo drop and I'll be a happy man.
Re: State of Play Announced, Covering More Than 15 PS5, PSVR2 Games
@starbuck2212 And maybe that mythical FFVII Rebirth demo drop.
Re: State of Play Announced, Covering More Than 15 PS5, PSVR2 Games
Show me some Death Stranding 2 and I'm a happy camper.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is Now In Active Development
I'm a sucker for Nassau and the golden age of piracy so yes I'm in. I hope they go deeper with the pirates and less of the assassin stuff.
Re: Bungie Will Finally Let You Change Your Appearance in Destiny 2
@RadioHedgeFund lol so easily believable because it is 100% something they'd do.
