My only gripe about it is that sweet acoustic version of Glory Days from the perfect ending is not a playable song.

I might be hallucinating here, but I remember the old DJ Max games having edited versions of songs so they would be shorter, while providing the full version on OSTs.

It feels like the songs on these are all the full versions, they sure feel a lot longer than the PSP games.

Also if Coastal Tempo is not coming soon I will be extremely mad.

I think it does, but I'm still not clear on what of the bazillions of gameplay improvements they keep making are part of the pack versus a free update. I know the multiplayer upgrade isn't free, at least.

You have an obvious and clearly defined goal in Nioh - go find the shirtless albino bloke what nicked your fish-lady.

You just have to slog through a really poorly told summary of the Sengoku period first.

It does not, which is some BS. The Royal version does have all the DLC and Royal Content for 50 bucks or you can upgrade your base FFXV for 25 for season pass and 20 for royal edition so 45 bucks, yes it's kinda annoying.

If anyone is looking to upgrade and you REALLY like the new God of War, Sony is doing a special Norse grey PS4 + controller + game:

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/03/06/introducing-the-limited-edition-god-of-war-ps4-pro-bundle/

Looks kinda whack but what do I know. It's a shame because Sony did some special GOW red PSP and PS3 models that looked really sleek.

The royal pack alone is 15$. Is it worth that much? I sure as hell would like to know because I already own the game, the season pass and by God I want to play this dumb anime game but I've been pushing it down my backlog waiting for all the DLC to be released.

You and everyone else involved in gaming criticism. The entire industry simultaneously revised their hype about it by the end of 2017. I would say it's a beautiful and very respectable first-try at open world.



Game's got almost nothing on Monster Hunter tho.

Just play the game. The story DLC (Episodes) are their own thing that happen parallel to the main game and are launched from the main menu anyway.

The Witcher 3 broke me on massive open-world fantasy games, and HZD, while a very good game, still have you harvesting bear asses and moose knuckles and is far more gimmick laden than is necessary.

You could remove a ton of stuff from HZD and The Witcher and they’d be better games, but as they are HZD has better combat and character designs and The Witcher 3 might be the best written video game ever compared to HZD which is written merely okay-to-very-good.

Monster Hunter is seemingly a collection of things I don’t like in action games as a solid game, so I just ignore it. Whoever asked for that low octane, slow and methodical action game, ur a nerd.

I guess but you have to admit playing the game at release date and playing it now with all the updates and DLC make it a different experience. The ability to play with the other characters and other changes make it seem like a way better experience imo.
