Okay people. Let's try and consolidate all feedback and impressions to this thread. See something cool and new or something that needs to be fixed go ahead and post it. So without further ado, here we go. There seems to be a lot of new improvements to the patch, keep up the good work zipper!
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
I actually really liked the new game mode, but the one problem I had was the map for it. The map is sooooo damn basic, its not creative or interesting at all. Just a big open space with an underground area where D is, and each faction has a base that leads off close to their spawn. Once D opened up weather you're attacking or defending, its so damn small and crowded its not even fun to be down there because its just filled with grenade spam. I really like the idea of this new game mode and its a lot of fun, but my god make a better map. Zipper IMO makes some of the best maps in any video game, at least with the SOCOM series, and it's kind of a shame to see just a horrible basic map from them.
hmm i agree with you there @T9X69 hopefully they will improve the maps in future updates. But its still and awesome and addictive game !
i have yet to play the beta, i hate that its only on during certain times, its never when i'm available to play..
just been playing the regular game
:(
Nice. Love this game. I know this is wishful thinking while they're focused on this beta, but now that they're making the original maps faction neutral I think they should come out with some DLC that contains at least one new map for each game mode. Stop with the new modes and give us more maps for the existing modes. I like the new mode ok, but I don't see myself playing it more than the existing ones. The next two DLCs should be new maps for existing modes. I'd pay for that right now. If there has to be another new mode, make it with all 3 factions again, but a Capture the Flag type of game where there is one (fill in the blank) that all 3 PMCs want. Capture the Intel. Also I think they should make the contracts change which game modes they are assigned to based on how many people played each mode. For example, up the XP bonus that's currently given for winning the Sabotage contract and put it on whatever game mode was played the least during the previous week. I don't know if that makes sense, but it seems like that might make people play modes they might not otherwise play.
I'm not paying for it till I see a serious amount of people playing them. Every time I'm online I see only 15 - 20 people in interdiction lobbies...Not a good selling point if you ask me.
