i am okay with that, sometimes is boring to try to aim for different endings

Kurt Russell1197d ago

If a game has multiple endings, I have a habit of researching how I get the "good" ending so I don't cock it up. This normally involved me reading all kinds of spoilers to do so.
When they don't and I.E what is being proposed here... I just enjoy myself more and go through at my own pace, without spoiling anything for myself.

So I am happy with that :)

Eidolon1197d ago

I usually won't play through a game again for another ending, besides maybe really short games or games where the choice is pretty close to the end, and only for a trophy.. Otherwise, we got YouTube.

Aloymetal1198d ago

February 18th seems like 4 years away!

Eidolon1197d ago (Edited 1197d ago )

Will have to wait longer since I'll probably end up Gameflying everything(I have 4 months left(3 games out) and 3-5 day shipment to and from). So it's gonna be even worse knowing the game is out and I can't play it yet.

I'll have Dying Light 2 beat before Horizon and Horizon before Elden Ring. Pretty good month. :)

bloop1197d ago

I started a new game+ on Zero Dawn for a story refresh intending on running through the main missions only and fast traveling everywhere to complete it as quickly as possible but I'd almost forgotten how amazing the game is and now I've ended up doing practically everything again. Can't wait for Forbidden West now!!

We're sorry your 100 hour run in Persona 5 is over prematurely. Please follow a guide next time so you don't have to play 225 hours to get to the correct ending.

pietro12121198d ago

It’s pretty easy to get the good ending in P5, without the need for a guide. That’s fine, it isn’t like Horizon is a rpg

DarXyde1198d ago

Persona games have branch endings, but they dangle the real ending in your face. Who doesn't get the right ending in their first playthrough?

TakeTori1197d ago

The good Persona 4 ending is not straight forward to achieve.

DarXyde1196d ago

TakeTori,

I disagree. I'll go over Golden since that was expanded.

In the confrontation with Namatame, you have the choice to do something that would really be out of character for the heroes in this story. If you really just play it true to what it means to find the "truth", it's really not hard.

Cue the next obvious step: one character was just too damn suspicious the entire time. You had to know. Then, also...Johnny Yong Bosch doesn't play bit parts. The fact that he plays two people made it obvious.

Finally, on the last day... You really just need to go to Junes.

BlaqMagiq11198d ago

It was extremely easy to get the true ending in both Persona 5 and Royal.

pietro12121198d ago

They’re either talking out their butt or/and they never played P5

BlaqMagiq11197d ago

@pietro1212

Facts. The true ending basically slaps you in the face.

notachance1198d ago

you have to actually try on purpose to get the bad ending on persona 5, even then the game warned you multiple times that your choice in that particular scene is important, seems like you're talking out of your ass.

TheTony3161197d ago

it's extremely difficult not to get the right ending in P5.

BrainSyphoned1197d ago (Edited 1197d ago )

No I didn't miss the ending because I spoiled it by looking at a guide. I did put in the 225 for platinum though because I missed a text message from Mishima.

Most games don't need several different endings. It has RPG elements, but it's not an RPG. I just want a well handled story and narrative.

neutralgamer19921198d ago

It has the same writer who did fallout new Vegas and he finished the story before leaving for other projects

MadLad1198d ago

Wasn't aware.
That's right up there with some of my favorite RPGs had.
I didn't have doubt in the writing, but that has me that much more excited for the release.

CaptainHenry9161198d ago (Edited 1198d ago )

Actually Ex-Bethesda and CD Projekt Red developers helped build Horizon's open world. It's more like the Witcher 3. I'm all in if that's true. I saw a video about it on Polygon that said this game is more WRPG than the first game and it plays more like the Witcher 3.

Some of the same Ex Bethesda and CDPR developers works for Deviation games now

MadLad1198d ago

The info is appreciated.

I didn't know that was the case, though I was recently made aware of Deviation Games. I'll definitely have them on my radar going forward.

Ex-Far Cry lead says ‘lame’ Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Cards lose what makes gaming ‘special’

Former Assassin's Creed and Far Cry lead Alex Hutchinson explains that Nintendo will get away with their awful Game Key Cards.

...still better than a one time use code in a box.

Neonridr9h ago

people here forget that Sony sells Collector's Editions of games (God of War, Horizon, etc) that give you a steelbook with no disc. Just a code on a piece of paper. But because some 3rd party devs are choosing this route it's all Nintendo's fault.

Si-Fly8h ago

If the option was a physical cartridge or a game key card then that would be the best possible situation. However it’s looking increasingly like game key cards will totally phase out physical media and that is really disappointing. I have a huge physical Switch libary and was looking forward to doing the same for the Switch 2.

staticall6h ago

@Neonridr
But it was Nintendo, who introduced this game key thingy. So it's 100% their fault.

CrimsonWing699h ago

Ironic coming from an ex-Ubisoft lead dev.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH9h ago

How so? Do you think devs have any say on how a game is distributed?

Neonridr9h ago

yes.. they could pay full price to put their games on a cartridge, or pay less and provide a digital code and save money.

Which do you think devs would opt for?

CrimsonWing699h ago

It wasn’t about distribution… 🤦‍♂️

The irony being him criticizing what creates of the loss of making gaming feel “special.” You know, annual releases with a paint-by-number blue print, monetization, and in general just Ubisoft practices for the last decade.

Sorry that one went over your head.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH7h ago

Then maybe you should do a better job of making your point instead of readers assuming what you’re trying to say.

Muigi9h ago

Yet most games these days on Blu-ray's don’t even contain the full game or the game at all. But he wasn’t complaining when he was at Ubisoft tho.

Christopher9h ago

Kind of normal to not want to get fired for public complaints about your company, though.

Duke199h ago

Buying a physical box, just to open it for a glorified QR code is a shitty practice but I can absolutely see it becoming the norm sadly.

The enjoyment of owning something physically is going away, now its just a paid trial of services you never really "own".

Neonridr9h ago

except this is still a physical cartridge that you have to put in your console. You just have to download the entire game. But instead of it just being a code in a box (which is a one time use), you could still sell this or lend it to your friend.

It's not great no, but it's nothing like what we had with some Switch games.

Duke198h ago

Fair, its better than a one time use code but it I agree with the point in the article. It still takes away from the overall experience (especially from a nostalgia perspective).

Neonridr6h ago

@Duke19 - I mean we have digital edition only consoles now from MS and Sony. That's ok?

Seems like this is just a physical vs digital conversation, you can't exactly single out Nintendo here as everyone seems to be doing it.

gold_drake8h ago

thisnis definitely gonna bite nintendo in the arse in some way.

kids mostly use the consoles and not all parents know what to do with it.

also, what if u dont or cant use wifi ? lol

Nintendo Sues Accessory Maker for Switch 2 Leak

Nintendo is suing Genki, a Japanese accessory maker, for showing a replica of the Nintendo Switch 2 before its official announcement.

MDTunkown1d 13h ago

Won’t be surprised that they will blame Genki for missing the target sales. After all it’s Genki that decided to price the console and games

Christopher1d 12h ago

Aren't they already sold out on preorders in most places?

MDTunkown1d 7h ago

It’s still not hard to find them here in Europe. Amazon fr even until this weekend sold them for 20 euro cheaper than market price.

Profchaos23h ago

US and Japan are sold out Australia is in stock and UK has limited stock in some retailers left

Agent751d 12h ago

The money that Nintendo lost on Wii U, they made up for on Switch, but still, the loss is still there. All guns blazing with Switch 2 pricing, suing Genki is a 'we need to make money' exercise. Goes without saying that Switch 2 will sell out at launch, but once it settles down, the masses won't pay it.

Profchaos12h ago

Actually the 3DS kept Nintendo afloat during the Wii U era it was a huge hit with a healthy profit margin

Profchaos23h ago

Genki abused its position as a partner to drum up hype for their business so they deserve the lawsuit however it's not going to be blamed for missing any targets

Dhika1d 13h ago

They should be renamed to "Suetendo" haha

xHeavYx1d 5h ago

Please don't laugh at the end of your own jokes

Yui_Suzumiya23h ago

I was once addicted to soap but now I'm clean, haha

jznrpg1d 12h ago

It’s almost identical to the first Switch. No surprise.

Profchaos23h ago

Pretty clear cut here they were under a partnership agreement here they violated that
