aww, i didn't get around to JUDGEMENT in time. I guess ill have to play ISHIN instead.

StoneTitan163d ago

I was so surprised by judgement, what a cool game that was, the story got me hooked like no other. I could care less about the fighting and all minigames, not so my cup of tea, but the Story was great.

Profchaos163d ago

I'm about half way through judgement so of course it's going same thing happened when I was playing sea of stars recently

How'd ya miss GTA 5?

After all the hype for GTA 6 this is a pretty big get, and ya know those rumors say PS5 Pro launch title.

Abnor_Mal506d ago

For a quick second I read Thrillville as Trillkill got immediately happy and then immediately disappointed when I remembered the game never actual came out.

Palitera506d ago

Possibly the highest Opencritic average in a long time. Congrats for folks at Sony!

Einhander1972506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

Well, for me this is great, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has been in my cart then not purchased more than a dozen times.

I liked the demo and have always wanted to play it, now I will.

And Mega Man Collection is always a win for me, both 1 and 2, pretty good plus MM 11 too.

MrBaskerville506d ago

Classics are more previously available stuff, that's always slightly dissapointing. The road to Parasite Eve 2 and Shadow Tower is long. But good lineup regardless, I want to try salt and sacrifice.

Profchaos506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

I don't know I like the 8 bit mega man games I'm excited to play then again.

However it's a PS4 collection so there's only 1 native PS1 game were Getting again another Disney property

MrBaskerville506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

They are great and the inclusion of the collection is nice. But it allready existed, I think the most exciting part of Premium is that we sometime get new ports of classic that weren previously available, like Grandia. Prefer those additions over stuff that was allready available.

But if we just look at the games, then it's a pretty decent month.

Astrokis506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

I haven’t played mega man for 15+ years, I’m excited for some nostalgic fun

recoctimocassirnff506d ago

After a very disappointing essentials month, this might be the best extra month for me personally so far.

Amplitude505d ago (Edited 505d ago )

If all these games were in a bundle for the cost of one month of PS+, would you buy it?

Hell I wouldn't. Why I hate these sub services. You're just buying an unknown game bundle every month but then they lock away things that are free on other platforms like online and cloud saves so you get the added benefit of knowing you're paying money to be bent over and just straight up taken.

Mainline Final Fantasy Is Destined To Become A Soulslike

As Final Fantasy includes more real-time combat and action, the release of Stranger of Paradise makes FF's evolution to Soulslike seem more likely.

The day FF transitions to soulslike is the day I stop playing FF for good.

shinoff2183728d ago

I've stated before they've changed so much. Ff16 might be the last one I even try unless they return to the greatness of the old school. I'll still give ff16 a shot just not a 70 dollar shot. I can see where the persons coming from though. I'm on the fence as fk with it. I Haye it but it's a series I grew up loving so I want to like it ugghhh

Terry_B728d ago

Its not FF anymore anyway since FF13,

shinoff2183728d ago

I didn't care for ff13 but I'd like to give it another shot. I do know it's turn based and linear. In ff13 defense ff10 was also linear.

xander31728d ago

lol people been saying this since FF2 guy

shinoff2183728d ago

Xander I've been around since ff1 and no ones ever said that back then

jambola728d ago

Actually it wasn't ff since 3
When it stopped having more blank slate characters searching for crystals,
That's what ff is

-Foxtrot728d ago

Yeah

Like make a spin off game

They tried with that Stranger in Paradise one but it was half arsed and just seemed slap dash

Shame aswell because with Origin in the title they could have really made it a cool “origin” for FF in general.

shinoff2183728d ago

That's what I was hoping for foxtrot

Obscure_Observer728d ago

"The day FF transitions to soulslike is the day I stop playing FF for good."

FF transitioned to Devil May Cry and you´re still a fan? Your claims sounds dubious at the very least.

IamTylerDurden1728d ago

I'm sure many would agree.

I continue to reiterate the oversaturation of the Soulslike genre and imo it would be a gross miscalculation of public desire to transition mainline FF as the forementioned. Likely, it would be an attempt to mimic the success of From Software and ER rather than maintaining the identity of FF proper.

I have no problem with a competent AAA spinoff of which Origins is not. In fact, a quality AAA Soulslike would be welcomed seeing as how virtually every game in the genre consistutes an indie to high AA standard with AAA quality and polish entirely absent outside DeS Remake.

However, due to the recent success of FVII, the impending "sequel(s)" and the impressive footage of XVI i would be baffled as to why SE would decide to sabotage the wave in favor of chasing a trend.

camel_toad728d ago

The Souls series is easily one of my favorites and so are the older Final Fantasies but there's no way FF will become a souls-like. Action rpg it's become sure but souls-like is a bit of a leap from just your standard action rpg.

I seriously doubt it. FF is way too mainstream, and SQ wants as many people playing it. It'll maybe borrow some aspects as Souls has had a lot of influence on many games but never go all out.

FungLip728d ago

Stranger of paradise was terrible, had to quit after an hour.

shinoff2183728d ago

I played the demo. Lol it was horrible. Wrong studio for a ff game

andy85728d ago

I liked it tbh. Just tried to look at it as not a final fantasy game. Fun game

Magic_Spatula727d ago

SoP isn't that bad. I'm enjoying the game so far. It's different and I like it.

GoodGuy09728d ago

I just want mainline turn based ff back.

shinoff2183728d ago

Agreed 1000 percent.

I'd even drop my Haye of no world map if we could just get turn based back. Please o please square.

shinoff2183728d ago

I did it was seemed kinda whack. I felt the stacking things an all that was pretty eh.

jambola728d ago

It hasn't been turn based in like 20 years
Gotta move on dude

Magic_Spatula727d ago

Did the FF 13 games come out over 20 years ago? Cuz those games are turned based. Also, FF7R is technically turned based. You're just allowed to do attacks but you still have to scroll through a menu for magic and abilities or you can set it so the attacks are automatic and you do everything through the menu.

jambola727d ago

@magic_spatula

Do you think turn based is just about menu's??
