It's done fine enough, it might have done better had SE not put it out like three days after MHW in US/EU. It's still doing pretty well in arcades so hey.

I was going to get it but it turns out the only character who didn't make it back from Dissidia 1 was the character I liked the most and he's not on year 1's season pass so lmao I'll just play MHW and other poo poo instead thanks

I just purchased a 4K OLED tv, and now I want to upgrade my base PS4 to Pro. Should I wait until E3 for a possible price drop/model refresh, or should I pull the trigger now, what do you think?

I'd at least wait until E3 to see if there are any sales (probably on bundles,) but barring that, I wouldn't expect a price drop until Black Friday. The Pro rarely goes on sale, it's always the base PS4.

I just bought the Battlefront II Pro bundle for non-bundle price in February, but that was probably because of the hugely negative reception of that game. Oh, and maybe just maybe because it looks hideous (the bundle, not the game!)

Dark Souls Remastered is definitely Dark Souls with high res, better textures and better frame rate.

I found Kiwami unplayable when I picked it up after finishing Yakuza 0. Which made me sad.

This is the weirdest opinion I've seen about these games. It's scope isn't as broad but unless you were just 100% burnt out on Yakuza after 0 I don't see how you would find Kiwami "unplayable." It's more Yakuza in the exact same game engine with the exact same fighting styles.

Tbh isn't that exactly what "remastered" even means now anymore? That's really all I expect when I hear the term now and anything else new is icing on the cake.


For me my expectations are

Definitive/goty edition: all dlc
Remasteted/HD: higher res, higher fps, better textures/effects. Basically just "ultra high" settings on pc
Remake: completely all new assets from the ground up, built to compete graphically with the standards of current gen


What do you guys think? I see a lot of people get disappointed by "remasters" and kinda wish we had more consistent language and less getting owned by marketing

I finally bought the into gimmick because I need to play actual for-real game of the year god of war in 4k. The good news is it only cost me 200, which is nice.

The Dark Souls remaster is exactly what Bamco promised it would be and that makes some people really really mad

"Remastered" can mean anything from an actual dedicated pass at the original product to some intern editing dark_souls.ini to DisplayResolution = 2560x1440 so you never know what you're getting until you see it in the open. It's the "organic non-GMO" of video game marketing terminology.

This is what it is supposed to be, but you get situations where like Activision calls Crash N. Sane Trilogy (which is a remake) a remaster and it muddies the branding.

I've never gotten past the first two bosses of DS1 but if there's anything I know about souls fans it's that if they significantly hosed around with mechanics and added lots of new quality of life features, bamco would still get poo poo on for caving in to the mainstream and sullying the "true" dark souls experience

I had pipe dreams that Dark Souls Remastered would just be Dark Souls 1 on the Dark Souls 3 engine, but it was just that, a pipe dream.

Made the mistake of buying Kingdom come deliverance and now I'm hooked on the game.

I love how my Henry has turned from a bumbling idiot into a bandit murdering, church preaching sob who enjoys breaking into peoples homes to choke them out and steal all their belongings

As a result I still have not completed Yakuza 6 or started God of war.

And now I've preordered Detroit become human...

My backlog is growing and growing its so hard to keep up with these releases :v:

I completely disagree. Seeing Kratos unveil them and then immediately start trembling at the thought of having to put them on again, all while Athena is mocking him was simply outstanding.

According to the Kingdom Come dev, they've got a big patch coming really soon. I'm pretty excited to try it out.

I really like Kingdom Come, like a lot, but I stopped playing because of all the bugs and every time I think they've sufficiently squashed all the bugs I go "Okay time to get back into Kingdom Come" and then I read that they have another big patch coming and go "Welp I guess I'll keep playing Monster Hunter I guess until then."

Are they ever going to implement New Game +? Because that's what I want the most right now. Just let me restart as literate, competent Henry and do gimmick runs.

That's fair. I certainly regret paying full pop when it first came out.

I mean, it was kind of infuriatingly bad. They just came out of cryo-sleep after traveling light years away from an exploding Earth. Surely the game should have had a more exciting startup (and middle, and end....).

0 is completely re-contextualizing the first games and Kiwami had several changes applied to it based on 0

The beginning of Kiwami is a bit rough because you have to unlock the basic Heat Actions you could perform from the start in 0 so the first few fights all you can do is the very basic combos and the ground heat actions until you unlock the first Climax Bar.
