From my experience video game stores normally stock games that are popular to many players (afterall the store owners want to make money) so for those players that want less popular games you have not much choice but to get that game digitally unless you are lucky.
I have on rare occasions purchased a physical game that is two to three times cheaper than the digital copy even when that digital copy was on sale.
Still, like it or not digital downloads are ...
Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.
If I want to run PS4 games on my PS5 I have configured my PS5 to download to my USB 3 hard drive. Of course if I have a PS4 game that would benifit (i.e. shorter loading times) from the PS5's SSD then I will install that game there.
In FF12 you can use 1) Turn Based Combat, 2) Active Turn Based Combat which is coumpled with the Gambit System.
Basically the "Gambit System" uses fairly simple Boolean algebra (upto 12 levels) that allows the player to configure each character (as explained in the article) when you choose "active turn-based combat" which is excelent when fighting hordes of enemies, however you can instantly switch to turn-based combat when confronting a tougher enemy or...
Liking any game is actually subjective.
If you are a player that is a fan of fighting games it may be possible that you are not keen on Role Playing Games (RPG's) and likewise if you are a fan of RPG's you may not be keen on fighting games. Even people who like RPG's may prefer Japanese RPG's to Western RPG's and vice versa. So lets not get into the "I prefer X over Y" meme.
Basically "Tears of the Kingdom" is a Ze...
There are advantages and disadvantages when comparing turn-based, active turn-based, automatic (sort of pre-programmed) and real time action (such as when you would expect in a Souls/Bourne game).
As an exmple, take FF12 which is turn-based, active turn-based and automatic where you can select which one you want to use during each battle. Try "turn-based" for all battles then the total number of enemies would make the game a mental disaster for the player but havi...
Not sure why you would want to compare PS3 against PS5 sales (still it is statistics) when it would be more interesting to compare PS4 against PS5 sales (vgchats has done this. Thanks for the link) and their stats (ie. price, games, etc) considering the PS4 is still available and the PS5 is backwards compatible for PS4 games.
Actually I would be fully infavor as would many readers of being able to insert a PS3 game disk in my PS5 and have the PlayStation store install the P...
Personally I don't really have an issue with DLC which "of course" depends on the game, but I definately don't like microtransactions.
Back in the 1980's through to the early 2000's cartridges were the go-to media for games and basically they were much more expensive to produce than CD's, DVD's and Blue-ray's (yes there were other DVD ish media as well - example "GameCube") which actually replaced them.
As we progress futher into the 2000's digital downloads are becoming more popular although disk (ie. DVD and Blu-ray) is still used (Yes I am aware of the "Switch&qu...
I actually finished FFXIII and on the second playthrough found I actually liked the game.
Actually I have liked most of the FF games (I have not played FFIX unfortunately) and I do agree with you with regards to FFXV. Graphically IMHO FFXV is excelent but for some reason I just could not get enthusiastic in playing it.
As for "turn-based", I prefer active and real time although to be fair "turn-based" is a real plus especially when con...
I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.
As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got...
I actually have a 1TB USB drive which I originally used for backup purposed on my PC that I have connected to my PS5. Basically I use my USB drive for PS4 games which are played directly from that drive and for PS5 games I play directly from the inbuilt SSD (you don't have a choice).
Of course that are some PS4 games which do benifit from be played directly from the SSD in that loading times are dramaticaly reduced although that will depend on the game. An example of th...
Well you could have differnt skins and play attibutes per extra characters which (correct me if I am wrong ) you have to pay real money for. :-)
It depends on the game. Take for example "Horizon Zero Dawn: Forbidden West", "The Witcher 3" and "NioH 2" all are over 90GB for the PS5 and the PS4 editions.
Granted that there are PS5 games that are much smaller than 90GB but like I have said before that depends on the game, the compression method used, graphical fidelity and a whole host of of other atributes that must be taken into account.
Wow talk about nostaliga. I actually do have some of those games and many I have not finished.
While some PC gamers don't mind waiting for a PC port of a game that would nomally be initially developed for the PS5 I think many get impatient (of course it would be interesting to see a valid survey re that).
If you are a PC gamer then you should not mind spending a few thousand dollars on a decent PC and (of course) an excelent monitor. Since the price of a PS5 is normally a lot cheaper than some PC graphics cards why not get one and connet it to your "excelent...
Personally I have played many hours of Genshin Impact and enjoyed it, however the bigest turn off (at least for me) was the push/hint of paying real money for extra features so eventully I just quit the game. I have not played Honkai Star Rail but I get the feeling that it won't be that much different in trying to get you to pay real money.
There are plusses and minuses for physical and digital game purchases. Yes I do agree you can sell a physical copy of a game but how much do you expect to get for said physical copy?
Of course when selling a physical game you are not going to get back what you originally paid. In fact if you purchased a game that was very popular its resale value may be so low that it may not be worth reselling. The opposit may be the case if you originally purchased a rare game that in a f...
If you are only going to play PS5 games exclusively then yes you will most likely need a 2GB or 4GB SSD in the fairly forseable future. But if you play PS4, PS2 and PS1 games then a USB hard drive for those games is a cheaper option.
I have my PS5 laid down with a USB hard drive underneath and it looks aesthetically pleasing.
Well there are also the two DLC levels which do cost although they are not expensive. These levels can add about 10 to 40 hours to the game and in adddition you do get quite a bit of free content such as different clothing for the characters.
One of the clothing changes was the armour for the Nilfgaardian forces which is the same as in the Netflix series. Personally I don't like it but it is still your choice to apply or not apply from the options.
