I look at it like this, Kingdom Hearts would have been terrible/definitely not as good as it was if it had turn based mechanics. It simply wasn't built like that, frantically hoping for that last burst of a HEAL on flashing red/or your drive limit was nerve wracking.
I hear that this has definite flavors of that (playing this demo tonight). I've played many of the other FF games, I don't see the problem here.
I do hear lots of "In my day&qu...
This is a 'prequel' to the main characters history and will be considered canon. It also gets you a GF that you can't get if you don't complete it.
Holy crap you picked a bad one to start with...VIII or VIX would have been good choices, even X, XII I couldn't finish, same with XIII.
Mhmm again arguable, it never claimed to reinvent combat etc. I personally enjoyed it (I got $30 in trade in value) which definitely made it feel more worthwhile. I agree with you however in that it was definitely average on it's gameplay concepts.
edit: Also what? I've gone down like 3-4 bubbles in a few days?
FFVII was a great game for it's time, arguably the best of its time. But it's still a product of its time and it's a little aggravating in its mechanics now (people will disagree and there's a lot of rose tinted glasses when it comes to that). Random battles feel excessive, as does required leveling, obtuse side quests etc. Personally I feel the best bridging game is actually FFVIII. To me that was a truly spectacular game, I cared waaaay more about those characters and th...
Should be... on what, a Titan? A GTX 980? Well yeah that's clearly true as we're running like a 7 series. On the other hand my PS4 was cheaper than a GTX 980, just the 980 mind you, not the CPU, MB, RAM, PSU, everything else.
I think it was fair, a game with great pieces but felt too short and that it held back on the pieces that made the game feel good (powers/action) and left you feeling incomplete. Was it 6/10? Well if you use the full scale maybe, on todays scale I think that a 7/10 would have been more 'acceptable' to most people.
Worth playing but you'll trade it in afterwards. Another "The Order".
Well I thought that The Order was an amazing game...but at 6 hours I couldn't justify it's price, it felt 1/3 the length it should have been and personally it suffered for that. Gunplay - good, graphics - best I've seen on console, voice acting - great, art style - awesome, plot - actually good. Length - rushed. This is exactly what we heard with The Order early reviews.
And the competition for purchases on the publishers end was fierce, there were SO MANY games. At the moment there are about 12 million PS4s in NA and there aren't that many great games releasing at once so why would the publishers give away their games for cheap? People are still buying them.
Yes the earlier ones were 1-2 years after release but I'd guess that noone was buying them any more.
And it's even less than the 70c mentioned earlier as part of that fee has to go to marketing, servers, budgets etc. Ballpark 50c a game, how can people even realistically complain that what they get each month isn't worth $3...just...what?
It's not a vertical slice like the last demo it's something that isn't in the full game and this is the only way you can play it. So it's more a demo of all the systems than a demo of content.
Hope you did if from Amazon for the 20% off?
Hilariously all the comments stating that a AAA game was released this month (whether you like it or not) have no replies. Anything feeding the circle jerk of not liking games gets instant upvoted. How do you all even have time to finish all these? I still have most of the games from the last 3 months unfinished.
No, they're not FO4, TW3, or DA:I but I do wonder how much that would cost, 40 million PS4 owners, 12.4 million in the US, if each paid the $50 for plus that&...
Is what they say now "I know it looks bad but trust us we were totally going to change it anyway, it's just coincidence that it happened at the same time someone complained about it".
@1.1.1 - People who game on PS4 on average are not going to be walking out with a rift owning the required ~$1200 (min looking at Rift certified prices) PC to go with it at +$300 over the PSVR...
The point isn't that you have a gay character or two in your game (commensurate with their incidence in the general population) but the problem begins when their whole reason for being in there is to BE gay, or to draw attention to how stereotypical they are.
If a character being gay is incidental to their other characteristics and plot point then there's no problem.
tl;dr Character with traits/story other than just 'look how gay I am' is fi...
So, $400-$500 for VR marketed as just needing the PS4, followed immediately by announcements for another PS4 to get the real experience and if it's playing 60fps at 4k then we're getting closer to to the $1000 end than the $400 it's currently at unless tech has leapt forward without me looking, there's only so much optimization a console can do.
4K bluray player for video/ minor incremental/efficiency/form changes, calling it.
Each of the pixels on the occulus and vive are single color though, each of the pixels on the PSVR contain sub pixels of RGB so while one technically outnumbers the other the color change between pixels is more drastic which could lead to a worse screen door effect despite the number difference. But then I've tried neither of them and am just speculating.
This could cause huge damage to the brand, I don't think it matters if you personally can afford to drop another $400 on a console (and really? 60fps4K as people have been speculating, most PC's can't do that now without getting into the thousands range, even solid 30/4K isn't getting done for $400).
They have a huge adoption rate of the PS4, a huge fanbase in the 10s of millions who chose console gaming for the exclusives, ease of use, zero fractioning of pl...
@nitus10 Because Amazon gives you 20% off the price (though you also get that 20% off up to 2 weeks after it releases! So your point stands there)
