I started The Surge 2 (probably my last game I'll start this year) and it's clearly more of the first but with a better combat system. Levels feel more linear which has its good and bad things about it. It seems like they often just give you a shortcut back to the same medbay and you keep making forward progress. I can't wait for 2024, the games are gonna be insane. I've got basically four weeks to complete as many games on my backlog before LIKE A DRAGON INFINITE WEALTH and the way the director talks about that game scares me. It's gonna be so insanely big.

Yeah Play Asia sells the english version. Was only $45 too which is pretty drat good. I've played 7, so yeah I'm good with spoilers but I have yet to play 5 and 6. Gonna play 5 once I finish up the Cyberpunk DLC which is excellent.

I finally got around to playing GoW Ragnarok (It's on sale on the psn store) and what a wonderful game.Ineffiable posted:https://blog.playstation.com/2023/12/28/playstation-in-2024-highlights/ Helldivers 2 and FFVII rebirth are my two most anticipated games by far Bit embarassing to see Destiny 2 on that list though. Sony needs to quietly move Bungie on, bandcamp-style

They're in a rut at the moment - which will probably last another five years at least (long enough for Marathon to flop and for them to get going on something else), but I don't think they're out of the game.

They've been out of the game for years. The game's only bright spot (witch queen) has been comprehensively proven to be a fluke. Every day that $4b purchase looks like more and more of a bad deal. They just aren't on the same level as Sony's other studios and they won't ever be. They're the anathema of Sony's vision, a gaas sweatshop with no new ideas in a long time. All they do is hawk poo poo on their in-game store, and it's right there on the Sony page that they are still splitting content like dungeons off to a separate paid pass. Their next game is a tarkov style extraction shooter for christ's sake.

Ya I get some aspects of game monetization has gone really off the rails but imo I would say the content in most games is better than ever. And if you like multiplayer games, heck there is like an endless amount of option of free games, there is gamepass which is great price for value and Sony is still making great singleplayer games(for now...). Like wherever you play whether its on pc, or any of the console its probably the best time to be gaming. The first few months are so stacked but I am most looking forward to Persona 3 Reload, FF7 Rebirth, Rise of The Ronin, Dragons Dogma 2 and Yakuza Infinite Wealth(ya im not calling it like a dragon). Also there was some sort of leak suggesting Elden Ring DLC is coming out in 25th of February the same day the game released.

I'm gonna be so busy between Infinite Wealth, FF7 Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin. Persona 3 reload and dragons dogma 2 would get me through the summer as well and there's some smaller stuff I want to get like Apollo Justice.

It’s a turning point for the overall series’ story and Gaiden in particular embellishes it a lot. It’s not recommended to have it spoiled in an offhand sentence from LJ!

Oxxidation posted:the gameplay is basically fine if a little ropier than the first due to giving you so many more options with half-baked implementations Mind if I ask what is bad about it? I wasn't super big on the first one so I didn't go to the sequel but the only thing I really have heard about it is turns out your sad brother needed to die after all.

And as if that wasn't enough, the final post-credits stinger implies that if the series continues the next one will take place in modern times. Nuking both the core character relationships and the unique setting in one stroke is certainly a big swing, I'll give them that. But it really feels like the sort of big swing that leads to the catcher getting accidentally hit in the nuts

Wow, I didn't realize that the Granblue game that comes out at the end of next month is the big RPG they've been working on for like 8 years. I thought it was the new edition of the fighting game. Could we even fit more JRPGs into the next couple months?

Loved it on PS4 despite the tech issues, now I'm back in on PS5 three years later. It's nice that my PS4 saves work on the PS5 version, I get to keep my stuff. Love this game.

Yeah the Requiem post credit sting really had me wondering who was supposed to care about it. Like, if Star Wars had ended with a stinger that read “a long time later…” and showed a kid in the present day USA using the force to pick up a spoon. You just ditched 90% of your franchises identity!

You just ditched 90% of your franchises identity! As memory serves the plague likes specific criteria so presumably they could have a modern pair that are basically clones of the original pair, same VA and all. If they do make a (presumably) final part then they could go a sort of Assassin's Creed approach where the modern pair are running around looking for clues (and obliterating Paris) left behind by Amelie and her alchemist buddy, and maybe those two finding other clues from the Party Island predecessors, but a large portion of the game is still set in 11th century Europe as a big flashback. I don't recall the games ever explaining the "why" of the plague so there's plenty of opportunity to have the modern protags get told by not-Pope Benedict what the origin of the plague is and why he needs it's ultimate power.

Ineffiable posted:Yeah there's so many good games you can easily ignore all the bad stuff. Ya those are all pretty beefy games. I am for a vacation so I'll probably have to play catchup. That's like 4 JRPGs(Rise of Ronin will also be replayable) goddamit. Ya I had never played Ace Attorney until they ported it out of the DS system. What an amazing series, it really has some of the best writting, character work and humor with such simple animation work. I know Ghost Trick is from the same director and everyone sings it's praises probably need to check it out.

I still enjoyed the Plague Tail 2 story because it was a bunch of horrible hosed up bummer stuff and tbh I always like that kind of story for some reason. I thought the ending justified itself quite well.
