@OtterX - Yes you can buy this game without owning a Vita (like pretty much every other PS classic on PS4/PS5). I bought it yesterday on PS5. It also costed 10 USD.
Xbox Game Pass has plenty of exposure and likely the vast majority of active users have at least given it a try. It's probably PC Game Pass that is struggling more. Most PC gamers just seem to stick with Steam.
Given that there are 0/10 shovelware flooding the marketplace constantly, it would be hard to argue worst overall game of the year. I think what the author means is worst AA or AAA game of 2023. Unless of course he doesn't consider indie games to be real games, but that would be silly.
@Abriael - If you are fine with being misinterpreted and leave typos in the title (you forgot the "Final" in Final Fantasy), you go right ahead and not second guess yourself. We all make mistakes, man.
The title should have been worded differently. It could very well be a more accurate trailer but "one of the best ever made"? Nah, that's way off.
Yeah, same. I am a huge weeb as well and if practically anyone thinks this is an amazing trailer they need to watch better anime.
Nah, Square-Enix's CG trailers for FFXIV blow this psuedo-anime trailer out of the water.
I hope I enjoy this game as much as this review. Sounds leagues better than the absolutely dull and mindless Gungrave G.O.R.E, yet Metacritic reviews have them both pretty similar. As I write this, they are both in the mid 50s. Where Wanted: Dead will hopefully differ is the user score (Gungrave is in the 40s, at least on Xbox and PC). Not holding my breath though. Shame about that price tag.
I have the opposite problem. I played Shenmue I & II a few years ago and found them surprisingly good and compelling. Then I played Yakuza 0 and was absolutely floored by it. Afterwards, I beat Yakuza 1-7 in little over a year and though I can safely say I have had my fill of Yakuza for now (and nothing reached the heights of 0), I could never go back to crusty old Shenmue in light of the improvements Yakuza made. Sorry Shenmue.
I'd like a new Splinter Cell, but I don't trust modern Ubisoft with it. It would probably be needlessly open-world, loaded with tedious busy-work and of course, microtransactions.
Still eagerly awaiting Yakuza Kiwami 2...
"Anime fans - particularly those who count themselves gamers - have regarded Sword Art Online as one of the more imaginative and entertaining shows in recent history"
Oof, only the most casual of casual anime fans even consider Sword Art Online good. Much less "one of the more imaginative and entertaining shows in recent history". Sorry, I had to stop reading there at the sheer ignorance at that sentence.
@ThoedEssay773 - The setting may be Japanese in Ghost of Tsushima, but it's made by an American studio.
The only Japanese games on the list are FFVII Remake and Breath of the Wild 2. Both are building on fantastic games, but if you want to dismiss them as "kid crap", hey, it's your loss.
I'm really glad more people will get to play Panzer Dragoon Orta, one of my all-time favorite games.
I bet the author of this has never played Saya no Uta.
I replayed MGSV, didn't take that long on the second go around, so I can say personally, it's not too long for a second playthrough.
"Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is and always will be Hideo Kojima’s magnum opus for the Metal Gear franchise" Nah, though it is my favorite in the series, most would say that the masterpiece for the MG franchise is MGS1 or 3 (hell, many would pick 2 or 4 as well). All five are great, IMO.
Hideaki Anno is not the only person responsible for EVA's art.
Ys Origin for sure. I beat that like 6 or 7 times just last year. You can beat in less than 3 hours easy after your first playthrough.
Yep, you get both the PS4 and PS5 versions if you buy it too.
