if you haven't copped Ys IX - do et! such a fun game : )
definitely an under rated action JRPG. the gameplay loop is fun and can be quite challenging (if you want it to be).
I'm tempted to pick up Marvel's Avengers, but we'll see.

@bremkat35 - all tales /tales of games are self contained, barring a very few that have direct sequels.
if you never played a Tales game before, this newest entry is likely the best starting point. not sure which is the one on PSNow (I assume either Zestiria or Berseria, funny enough those two are somewhat connected but you won't be missing out too much if you just played one or the other, I think the timeline is that they're 1000 years apart)
@zupertramp yeah so go ahead and complain then. I understand why there's complaints. I never said it wasn't valid to do so.
I'd just rather do something and focus my energy on things that I can control...and what I can always control is how I spend my money (which isn't difficult). That's all.
If the fan's complaints bring about change then great! Personally, I'm gonna play HFW on one console, PS4 or whenever I get a PS5. I don't know yet.
@Matroska apparently that way of thinking is undermining people's complaints. shrugs oh well. I'd personally rather come up with a plan to move forward with what's been presented instead of complaining about something that we can't change...but as the internet goes, complain enough and something could happen (or nothing will change and its still ultimately up to the person to make a decision - guess we shall see)
@zupertramp not necessarily dismissing concerns, I was just showing another way of thinking about the situation presented. if me saying that "it's not that difficult" was somehow triggering then I apologize. if you want to complain, go ahead - clearly alot of people are. I'm just saying that there's a sensible solution to it but if that's not something you agree with and you'd rather complain, then have at it.
@GhostInAJar
I'm not defending Sony. I ultimately can't control what a bazillion dollar company can,will, should, could, or would do no matter how much I get mad (which I'm not)...because it's up to the consumer to decide what choices we make with our money. Vote with your wallet.
Again it's not that hard. but enjoy being angry!
>if you only have a PS4 and the game is out on PS4 and you want to play it...then buy the game. >if you have a PS5 and the game is out on PS5 and you want to play it...then buy the game. >if you only have a PS4 and don't yet have a PS5, and the game is out on both systems, then make a decision about which console you want to play it on and when... and then umm... buy it. (which is the camp I fall under) = it's really not that difficult. Sony isn't making you buy anything. you control what you do with your money.
That's awesome! good for KT and the Samurai Warriors franchise! I wonder if KT will ever release Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for other platforms...or better yet, make a Marvel (comics, not cinematic universe) Musou game.
Kisara looks bad-a**. Some of these moves look like there's gonna be a Tales of fighting game spin-off down the line or somethin'. Very excited for this game! I wonder if it ends up getting delayed, even for a few weeks. hmmm
love cats. was curious about this game when it was first announced. glad it has a release window now (wish it wasn't 2022) but any info is good info. excited for this game.
>definitely a day 1 purr-chase for me.
>this game really scratches an itch.
>i cat wait to play this game.
>if it does well, then meow-be it'll get a sequel.
Preferably under 20, but at 20 is cool too) the games I'm hoping for include: -Judgement (likely to be a future PS Plus offer) -I am Setsuna (or the other two Tokyo RPG factory games) -Bloodstained RotN (likely to be a future PS Plus offer) -Tetris Effect -Marvel's Avengers
@UltimateOtaku91 i mean...if they make it somewhat similar to the Persona 5 Strikers combat (where you can't win with just hacking and slashing, and actually requires some management and strategy) - i'll ultimately be okay with it. but either way, keeping it turned based is probably best.
i'd rather them take the speed and style / dynamic nature of the Persona turn based combat and implement that aspect into the DQ combat system (if they want to make it feel more modern at least). other than that, keep the core gameplay the same. i'm totes ok with it.
Nintendo can sell their stuff at whatever price they want and put it on sale (once every 2 years) and folks will eat it up and the concensus will say it's the best thing ever and buy it anyway. Nothing is gonna change that.
The double standard remains.
If Sony decides to increase prices by one dollar (or the equivalent to where you live), the internet will catch fire because of the outrage -"How can Sony do this?! Businesses don't need money to make more things! We expect top tier quality games all the time but they gotta give it to us for free!"
Entitlement...
didn't play Spider-Man M.M yet. but I assume that Spider-Man 2 will have both Peter and Miles be playable in certain missions (with Peter being the clear main character)... any chance that Spider-Gwen gets involved (multiverse type ish or Spider Island type ish) or is that out of the question?
will def play the demo! once SW came out, it immediately took DW off the top of the list. SW is the better of the two Musou games. if it plays anything like One Piece Pirate Warriors 4, then it's def gonna be a blast (but i'm sure it'll be a blast regardless).
Predictions wise...if they're gonna go the remaster/remake route (which I ultimately hope they don't but it's a trend now so)...I hope they remake Persona 1 and/or 2. If not, they'll probably just do a remaster of P3. But just tease Persona 6 and I'll be good to go!
insert gif of toddler at the hockey game saying "yeeesss!" and pumping his fist with exuberance. you know which one I mean. if you don't, look it up : ) > was just thinking the other day how I'm looking forward to seeing at least the color scheme of P6...and now all this stuff?!?! = fantastic!
Sure it would be nice. I think folks want them to have a big blow out so that the gaming community/gaming social media can say "ooohhh!! PS answered back to what XBox did in E3." or something of that manner. I know folks want to know what is after H:FW , GOW:R and GT7...but then i'm like, why? First, those games aren't even out yet. Secondly, newer games aren't going to be coming til late 2022 or 2023 the earliest. That's a while from now! Play the games that are out now or are coming really soon. (plus there are tons of games from 3rd parties and indies, let alone the backlog that most of y'all have). Lastly, do folks want new games or do they just want remasters/remakes of old stuff - it's getting kind of played out. Everyone wants to know what's next and arent' looking to just focus on the / enjoy the now. That's how unrealistic expectations happen. Get it together people!
cool. exactly what they said they were gonna do. expectations set - expectations achieved. FIST and Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba look decent enough. yay video games!
man...can we just be excited for a game that we're initially excited for because of what the game actually is (gameplay, story, or whatever it was that piqued your interest in the first place) and not what everything else around it is? > let's not forget what makes us (want to) play video games; the game itself.
folks tend to want all the surprises spoiled before hand then immediately turn around and bash the company if their lofty/unrealistic expectations aren't met down to the exact verbiage. folks continue to want to let what they want to happen in their heads be the only reality, which is absurd because none of us fans can truly dictate what Sony can/cannot do. > Enjoy the games and vote with your wallet. If you don't like something they announced then just move on and scroll past it. You can't be upset if they let you know what's gonna happen ahead of time yet some still clamor for ish that they specifically said wasn't gonna be there.
then those that only play Royal will pick up Persona 5 Strikers and be like "I thought this was a direct sequel to Persona 5?" - they'd be confused because Kasumi is missing in P5S but that's because P5R isn't canonical.
Persona fans definitely...saw-this-comiiinngggg! Congrats to Atlus! Now please tease us with an image of Persona 6 - like a color scheme and any sort of item to give us a hint of something. (I'm thinking they'd go with Green this time)
Fantastic News! I know it'll be a while but it's nice to know that something new is coming in the future. Trials (not Trails) deserves more love and glad it's getting it!
We all should practice our water breathing technique. Predicting that this game will get a 6 or a 7 (typical for most anime fighters, esp its first entry) but hopefully its fanbase will make it sell well at least.
some fans can never be satisfied...it's either: > Sony is too quiet, how come they haven't said anything OR > Sony is giving us too much info/exposure about their games, it'd be nice if they left some mystery about it OR > Sony is totally gonna release (insert Sony 1st party top tier game here) and if they don't by this specific date that I want them too then they suck and I'm gonna be super pissed.
- let's all just be patient and play some awesome games.
I'm not a Trails fan...I assume I'd have to play Trails of the Sky, of the Azure, of the Cold Steel, of the Dark Mountain, of the Giant Robot with Swords and I can't forget about, Trails of the School with powerful students but don't call me Persona - to fully understand Trails of Nayuta?
I'm messing with you guys! but glad to see games that have similarities to Ys combat. That's one of my favorites!
fans that are mad about this are making the PS fanbase look whiny and (insert crying meme of your choice here). who cares, there are so many games to play. play something else...like play Skyrim for the 746th time... MS made a business decision, nothing people can really do about it.
I'm not interested in Bethesda games but good for the MS players if that's what they're into.
