Ubi have problems but they've also seem over hated by goons. They occasionally seem to really actually try to make something cool good and original and even if they often beat that poo poo into the ground when it works, that still puts them ahead of most of EA and Activision

This is why I hate them, they play favorites and screw over their western dev teams.

Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex, and Legacy of Kain. :smith:

Square have the baffling decision making style of Nintendo with out the ability to make really good games that stay in budget to make up for it.

Sleeping Dogs was hosed over by its own developer (United Front) actually, because they decided that what everyone wanted from a sequel to the best Arkham/GTA mashup ever made was a lovely MMO that has already had its servers shut down

Pretty much everyone who made Sleeping Dogs left the company after it shipped, it wasn't a smooth development at all. Triad Wars was an attempt by the people left behind to make something with the remains of the game.

Well let's all pray to Gaming Jesus that we got a "totally not Sleeping Dogs 2"

I know this is a controversial opinion but Mafia 3 really scratched a similar itch for me, I love that game to bits. Rolling around listening to CCR dressed like a Black Panther and killin' rednecks :iia:

Mafia 3 had a scene that Wolfeinstein TNC threatened to outdo but never actually did, so it's still worth playing

as a general rule of thumb the first few hours of any given JRPG are not at all indicative of the rest of the game

for example the first few hours of FF7 would lead you to believe it's a great game

Should I get Nier: Automata for my PC or for my PS4? I've read the PC version of the game is kind of a lovely port.

And I've never played a Persona game so would I like Persona 5?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

1. PS4

2. There are incremental gameplay upgrades in each Persona and it's special editions, but storywise they're pretty much standalone, maybe with a reference here or there but nothing big. Go wild.

If you watch a run of a high-scorer you'll learn a lot, and be amazed at ways to make gold.
The crown you get for killing the shopkeeper doubles money you pick up, and if you can hit a leprechaun without killing it, it will chase you and spawn gold wherever it moves (but if it hits you you lose ALL your gold).

If you like RPGs and think the social link stuff sounds fun then yeah! It's got good RPG gameplay and tons of style.

If you DON'T like RPGs you might still like it if all the other stuff sounds appealing.

I do like action RPGs like Diablo and I actually like playing Diablo 3 on my PS4 more than on my PC. I also really liked playing Odin's Sphere on PS4.
