Awesome! All the success is well deserved. My GOTY right now. Damn what an amazing game

chrisx3d ago

I'm one of those 2 million. I played my part. Its a great game. Turn based souls game 😹

FACTUAL evidence3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Played my part as well. I was probably the first person in my city to buy it. Soon as the shop opened I went to get it.

I’m hoping FF17 is like this, especially with the world map. It’s so OG FF it’s unreal. It’s one of my fav RPGs of all time right now. I’m impressed with really nothing negative to say about the game.

Hopefully we get more high budget RPGs like this one. I would love to see Sony start making turned based RPG exclusives again like the good old ps1 days.

It's a great game no doubt well deserved success but i must say i'm in act 2 right now and i don't quite get the super crazy reception for the game, i mean 9.7 on user reviews on metacritic is insane.. seems a bit absurd.

TricksterArrow3d ago

It’s OK if something is not for you. It’s still a 9.7, though.

Levii_923d ago

What do you mean it's not for me xD i like the game a lot. How did you get that from my comment?

TricksterArrow3d ago

“I don’t quite get the reception. 9.7 is insane and a bit absurd.”

Your words.

The game deserves the 9.7.
You are still entitled to your opinion, though.

I swear you internet dweeb love to read things that aren't there. He said he didnt think irs as good as everyone's making it out to be. Somehow you guys are reading "I hate this game"

jznrpg3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

There is no game for everyone. I’d guess a lot of the reviews are from people who like turn based to begin with but either way it’s a well made game

CantThinkOfAUsername3d ago

A lot of tourists and casuals are playing this game. They pretend there were no good turn-based games since early 2000s.

jukins3d ago

I'm in dame boat. Good game but to me its not as good as people are saying. Writing falls off in act 2. Feel like this game got extra points because it was made by a small team and a bunch of people who think this kind of turn based is completely new. Then there's the issue of the "troll era" where everyone wants to hate the big dogs like final fantasy so they'll latch onto anything just so they can say its better

cironn3d ago

Or... OR... Maybe, just maybe... People really like this game a lot. Crazy, huh?!

jukins3d ago

No i get it its a great game. I dont like turn based really at all but this one is well done. Again you guys are reading things that aren't there and kinda proving the point.

Goodguy013d ago

For a $50 game and done by a small studio, I'd say that's enough to justify the scores. There is no perfect game out there but I believe the game deserves what it's gotten. I am a little critical of some of the scenes and dialogue but the overall story and gameplay really make it up for me.

Just ordered myself a physical copy, but it isn't due to arrive until the 24th May. Gives me time to complete The Last of Us Part 2 (I know, I know, I'm behind the times).

ravens523d ago

How're you liking Tlou2. One of my favorite games.

Kurisu3d ago

I haven't quite made my mind up yet. I'm not too far in to the game, but so far I'm not enjoying it as much as the first. It almost feels like I'm forcing myself to play through it, whereas the first game gripped me from the get go. I've watched the first two episodes of the new series and I've enjoyed comparing the events of the game to the adaptation, but I won't be watching anymore episodes until I'm further in.

BLow3d ago

You're not behind, you are a gamer who has a backlog. Believe me you are not the only one. I have a lot a games I need to play. Quite a few are still shrink-wrapped lol. Enjoy Tlou2.

Kurisu3d ago

Thanks! Yeah, there's no rush to get to things. Honestly I've not been feeling in the gaming mood as much recently, but I'm looking forward to getting that feeling back.

arissaseah513d ago

It's a great game and finally, it's achieving all the success and recognition.
